It's 12:49 am... I'm waiting for my bathroom to warm up so I can go in there and cut my hair. In the breakerbox I flipped it to get the baseborad heater going. Give it 5 minutes, and it will be toasty in there. Last Winter, when the outside temp was 1 degree...it was 4 in my apartment. I had 2 large pots of water boiling, the oven door open at 500 degrees...and the ac/heater unit that is about 8 feet above my wide open for heat. It got warm, about 2 more degrees. I grabbed all my blankets and comforters, turned on the heater in the bathroom...and there I lived for 2 days. THIS Winter if the temps at night fall to 15, 10 degrees...I'm going to The Shelter.

This made me think. If I had...woud I be...right now. Someone told me, 'If you wouldn't have f*cked up earlier in your life, when you were young... You wouldn't have been going through what you are going through now.' What am I going through? I have a;ways disliked the cold.

Stevie Wonder said it best. His album, 'Songs in The Key of Life', song 'As'.

'We all know sometimes life's hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your life times that and twice its double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
You're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called Hell
Change your words into truth and then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great-grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you'
