caesura \sih-ZHUR-uh; -ZUR-\, noun;
plural caesuras or caesurae \sih-ZHUR-ee; -ZUR-ee\:

1. A break or pause in a line of verse, usually occurring in

man" [Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man].

sudden intake of breath, a caesura of pure awe.

During the historical caesura between the total destruction
of Aquileia and the seventh-century foundation of the city
of Heraclea as the first political capital of the second
Venice, the refugees lived on Grado and the other islands,
just as Cassiodorus had seen them: humbly, simply, and by
the toil of their hands.
--Patricia Fortini Brown, [4]Venice and Antiquity

I have been a fan of Paris Hilton, since she starred in Celebrities Uncensored. She loves to be photographed and it shows. I think she is beautiful and smarter than most people even know. I love her show Simple Life 1 and the sequels. Her new commercial for Carl's Jr. is controversial, but I think if you got it flaunt it. I think she is suffering form overexposure from the media, but I like her sense of her self and her sense of style. She has kept her sense of humor through all of her problems. Keep entertaining us Paris, but stay away from amateur home movies and save your talent for television and the big screen.

The better half of Tom Cruise!!! I grew up with Tom Cruise movies, but now he is pushing Scientology and is against medications that help people. Personally, I think Tom is acting Psychotic and Manic and belongs in a mental hospital.

Car Accident

I was driving with my brother Jonathan in the front passenger seat and my father Milton in the rear passenger seat in Sumner, Washington when a drunk driver hit my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I was flung forward and back and had an immediate headache and severe neckache. My neck was burning from the pain and I guess the inflammation. The other driver said I was driving too slow, because I was going the speed limit. He was driving at least twenty miles over the speed limit. He told my Father it was my fault, than my father asked him how much he had to drink. I was in the right lane on a two-way highway and he started to tailgate, so I moved to the left lane and he followed behind me than slammed into the back of the jeep. I was in shock I did not think someone would hit me, I was driving along fine minding my own business and he claimed he could not stop in time. The emergency room Doc said there was no way someone could hit us like that unless they were drunk or driving without paying any attention to the road. The fact that my vehicle was an SUV saved my brother and dad from injury. I was injured and went to the emergency room with severe whiplash, but it could have been worse. I am so grateful that my brother and dad were not hurt. I went to the Doctor this morning and she gave me medications and has me on bed rest, thank god for my laptop. I am starting physical therapy in a week. Thanks to my family for praying for my healing. The ironic part is I did not even want to go to dinner last night as I wanted to stay home with my Pug who has been sick. It has been a shity week with the water heater bursting, the Pug being sick and the car accident, but I think my luck is going to change.
Thanks for any comments.
