Once I said to a poet, "We shall not know your worth until you die."And he answered saying, "Yes, death is always the revealer. And if indeed you would know my worth it is that I have more in my heart than upon my tongue, and more in my desire than in my hand."

I figured out of all the people that would dig todays post it would be my lovely good friend Blither. You see Blither is like myself in ways. She is a wild child. She likes to live life rather than exist. It makes things alot more fun I think. Therefore Ms. Blither with your sexy self.... I have a question for you....

"Have you seen her?"

Of course you are wondering "What????" "Who???" and my response is.....

The Green Fairy..........


I do not think I have shared this story with you all before, and frankly I am in one of those moods and was asked about my experiences via email by someone who was interested. First and Foremost, I am not saying that *all* should do as I say. Cuz frankly- you would be screwed if you did.. I do ask that any of you that have not tried this product, that you check out your own health issues and all the other pertinent information because I am not responsible for your health, I am only telling you a story of my experience.....

Here. We. Go.

I was interested in the Green Fairy Myth years ago when watching Bram Stokers Dracula. I had no idea what Absinthe was until I saw that movie and I was like...Ummmmm...Need to edumucate myself about this. So I went through the internet and voila! One thing I noticed was the assortment of deviant bottles of intrigue, followed by my reading of the words : Illegal...Ummmmm I pondered..I think I will order some. I read through the company website and decided to send an email about which one to try for a first time. They suggested a Kit.... So that is what I bought. Not only did this suspense arrive in 5 days- but it was all neatly packaged and beautiful in its presentation. I was in heaven, I felt like this would be a special birthday for me... *This by the way took place a few years ago*......... I was expecting a friend *ok so he was more than a friend at the time* moving along.... My friend came from out of town to spend my birthday with me, and needless to say on the first night I broke out the serving platter with all of the Absinthe Gear and sat down on the floor where I concocted this beautiful hazy substance. We drank it slowly inhaled its fragrant aroma, sucked on the sugar cubes, and then...it happened..... I started giggling....Uncontrollably giggles.... My errr...friend looks at me and asks:

"Babe, you ok?"
"Yes...I just can't stop laughing.But I am ok."

30 minutes later I am sprawled on the floor staring at the ceiling...
"Dude?" I asked... "Do you see colors?"
"No...." he responds. I don't see any colors...." "What does it look like?"
"Rainbows......." "Are you serious? You don't see anything?"
"Ummm no...Maybe you should stop drinking."

Keep in mind at the time he is telling me this- he is still drinking.... And then of course...The weirdest thing happened......

Him: "Hey"
Me: "Yeah?"
Him: "Ahhhh.....is it hot to you?"
Me: "Yep"

We both looked at each other and needless to say one thing led to another.... I hit my head on the ceiling fan. Does that tell you anything. Enuff said.....
To bad I am single and all now... Well that is not a bad thing...But....This fourth of July would have been a blast.

Drink Carefully Blither roo!
PS....
Here is the website for all you inquirers out there... *winks* you freaks. *laughs*

ABSINTHE RULES!

E' ala E' ............... IZ you are missed...... In Celebration of you! *readers please feel free to click on the bold text in celebration of a great legend.

Yummmmmm...People...Todays post is sumethin special... More than special...it is absoultely lip smacking divine. You see, todays post on my blog space is dedicated to YOU... All of YOU...Because of your drop in's, your comments, your thoughts, your ideas and just you being you, you all have taken Calliez Realm and have sent her soaring in less than a years time....

Calliez Realm the history- started in September of 2006. When I first started out- The Realm had a classic and yet dark template which was more goth centered. My little Punk Rawk Template spoke alot through my personal trials of anger, and yet lonliness- with a touch of brash and sexiness... It was during that time, I started to have the same readers drop by- who in turn are still here that I call my family. Although we are not related- I consider them my extended family. During the end of 2006 it was during that time that my life took a change concerning my heart, and my growth as a woman- which in turn changed into the more bright and cheery, more confident woman that I am today- entitled My Style. It is in My Style that the Realm took on a whole new definition for and of me as well as my focus.

Now where do YOU fit in you might ask? Everywhere... Because of you- I was and I am able to write about things that matter to me. Because of you, you all have helped me through some *major* times in my life with your support and words, because of you, I have challenged myself and my way of thinking and have posted things that were difficult to talk about, and yet were brought out here which were debatable issues but were used to awaken us all, and perhaps that of humanity in some small part. Because of you, I am grateful and blessed to come here each day, and see new people, as well as old, still saying Hello to me, or to check on me to see how I am. Because of you, many of you from different countries have come here to see what is going on in different parts of the world, in others lives, and perhaps have begun a dialogue of discussion.

I wish that I was able to wrap my arms around all of you that come to visit and to smile and look into your eyes and just say *thank you*...It would of course be more meaningful. Alas, that is not possible, and although I have travelled and met a few of you, there are so many more of you that I still hope to meet, so this will have to suffice for now......



To all of YOU. Thank you for making a home out of Calliez Realm. Thank you for your drop in's, your conversation, your everything. Thank you for not being my fans, but my family. Thank you for making the Realm a place where all are invited, and where you all can consider the Realm a safe zone.

Be Blessed and know you are all loved by me.

Callie

I will rawk you people! Starting right now! Holla!!! I know some of you are jonesin for some Callie aren't you? You sit patiently clicking away on your little mouse wondering when I am going to update you on some more insane episodes of my life. Well peoplez, I am here! Ready to send you some stuff quicker than Rick Flair can mutter those famous words of his.... "Woooooooooooo"

Lets. Do. This.

My weekend has been a busy one people. Momma had to slow her roll and finish molding in her earthwares because they were being put to some good useage. Let us start with Friday night.

Movie Night.... Of course my son and I and his friends had movie and junk food night.. The movie for the evening- Shaolin Soccer.*again*. I lurve it. Seen it over and over again, I know- but it was what they wanted to watch versus my pick which was an old favorite of mine.. JAWS...and it was the directors cut! And they turned me down to re-watch Shaolin Soccer smackdown.

Saturday.. I had the day off. Can you believe that people? No scrubbing of the heads, folding towels and turning someones hair from frumpy to glowing. I was happy as a fly on crap! So my son decides- "Mom, how about we go to the mall and hangout"...Now, I have not been to the mall in forever. I do my shopping online or outside of the mall so I have no need to go, but on this so called auspicious day, I decided sure..... People...we were freakin there from 12 pm until 7 pm..It was not like we were millionaire shopping.. He just decided it would be fun to hang out...

Needless to say- for me it was more of people watching and my son delivering us some famous:
ELIJAHisms: Check it-

1. Mom, I thought Michael Jackson was black? *while watching michael jackson videos on the flat screen tv's at Radio shack.
2. Mom...... I think girls that wear those booty shorts just want attention. It looks very nasty.
3. Mom, we come in peace. *gives me the Star Treak Vulcan sign- after looking at some babies hairdo where the parent had two pig tails sticking straight up like the vulcan peace sign.*
4. I think that is a WhoaMan. * this was in reference to the person in one of those high fashion salons...We could not tell if they were male or female because even though they looked like a girl, had long painted nails, makeup, and spoke like a girl, even had signs of boobage, but wore a mustache and goatee.....* yeah....exactly...but they could beat a mug down and do some hair. it was great work.

So many other things that he blurted that day but I will spare you all. Next...I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in this event.....

YuGiOh

and

Naruto....

Now, being a parent, I know that at times I buy him these cards and he and his best friends are always dueling and whatever... I still had no idea about all of this and how popular it was until I heard my son shout- "Mom, stop! Can we go in here and see the cards please?" Sure...no worries...we walk into this store and all I see are kids.....Kids in different ages.... sitting at tables playing video games, or counting cards...Now when I say counting cards I am not talking about cheating... I am talking about checking their cards- putting them in order- and talking a jargon that I have NEVER heard of..... It was then my son looked at me and said: "Mom, the duel tournament is in 15 minutes can I stay?" Ummmm...Ok....but you dont have any cards... yes I do he tells me.. And behold, he reaches into his pants pockets and pulls out his cards.... He mingles and meets up with another young man- who looks at my son and says "Hey, you wanna duel"? Keep in mind I am the only parent, and I grab a chair and sit at this table with my son trying to figure out what's going on... and I am *enlightened* with the following conversation....

Chaz- the expert: "So, are you his sister? You don't have to stay. We are old enough to be responsible while you shop."
Chaz- the expert: "Not trying to be rude or racist- but most people that are from Africa are really rude and bossy, but your not."
Me- *blink blink stare*
Chaz- Most parents think that these games are considered demonic, but it isn't. It is very educational because you have to know how to do math and read in order to duel.
Me- *blink blink stare*
Chaz- if you ever want to learn how to organize things, I would recommend playing Tetris for 6 hours stright and then clean something.
Me- And how old are you?
Chaz- 12
Me- *blink blink stare*

As I am sitting here I notice more and more kids walk in with their little cliques. Majority of them were boys, with glasses, and IQs that could leave you stumped. And they toted massive boxes, suitcases filled with these cards.... One of them that sat at the table with my son- had not one, not two, but 4 tackle boxes filled with these cards...And organized in an order of- Powers, keepers, trades- whatever..I was freakin lost, bored, and I kinda had to step aside as I saw my son and Chaz dueling and trading cards with other people.. I blurted out in front of him during one of these transactions. "Dude! Do you know how much I paid for that deck and your trading them???" Apparently this was not a cool Mom thing, because E came up to me and whispered, "Mom, thats how I grow my deck to make it more powerful." My bad... So I decide to walk around this store, only to be hit on by Jabba the Huts brother..... He just walked up to me and started telling me about Leggos...Ok..and your point is???

"I know of one guy" he tells me- "That built the Nasa Space shuttle....Ok...and....I am hanging here....... and he leans toward me with his cigarette breath and whispers, "Complete with gweebles"...... What the hell are gweebles??? Apparently in my brain terms of comprhending, they were all of the little intricate details of the inside of the space shuttle that actually work. 3 freakin hours later- we finally leave. My son lost all 7 games...but he was happy. He ended up with some good cards in trade offs...

Sunday- after church it was back to the mall to pick up my necklace that broke, get E's glasses fixed, and of course...ANOTHER Tournament of Yugioh proportions. This time I was smart. I set a time limit and walked the mall. Played with a puppy in the pet store that I want so bad- window shopped and finally ended up orgasming from a chair massager in the Discovery Channel store. It was balls to the wall people. My back never felt so good... AND they had that foot massager thingy also.

Of course after 3 more hours of dueling, my son finally walks out and he tells me he won 3 times but lost the other times....And that this is a weekend hangout.... Ummm yeah..we shall see....Movie night again....

The Prestige- AWESOME MOVIE PEOPLE
and Ghost Rider...it was ok..but Nick looks funny with those false teeth now.

And later on that day we did the ever famous *car ride* where we put on our pj's and ride downtown atl and eat at the Varsity Drive In...Thats a cheap date highlight people. But also a cool one that we enjoy..Until this morning of course when I am told- his stomach hurts. *It's gas- he'll be aiight after a good bowel movement.*


And that people....wrapped up my weekend.. I am tired...still catching a breather...but here... So- I am now coming to the conclusion that the Yugioh thingy was a set up....What ya think?

Ps...... Is it true that you have to say those little jargon terms when dueling??? I'm jus askin yo...

Unloosen the binds my brothers and sisters and relish with me for one moment in thought.
In a world so fast pace and triggered by technology, we are a race of peoples continuously
searching for answers, and yet not giving enough time to seek them. We are hurried from the wee hours of the morning to be so called productive, and yet come home late at night to realize we have accomplished nothing.

We look at our news, read our newspapers, and listen to our radios of race wars, famine, murders,scandals and abuse of epic proportions. Gone are the days of meeting our neighbors, saying hello to strangers. And yet, do you not realize that our minds and thoughts are being infiltrated- are being conditioned to live in fear? I do believe the term is Terrorism.

Rise up my brothers and sisters and take your minds back, the ideals the dreams the goals. Lay down if even for a day your techological devices that awaken you in the hours of your time, your thoughts and once again...Dare to Dream. Dare to think. Dare to once again seek the one answer to heal our world.....

*The consideration of the Human Heart*

How does one sell books on how to become enlightened and live instead of existing without first knowing and experiencing the Human Heart...My heart....

Practice LOVE today.....

Look for excuses to be the first to forgive and forget
Optimize each others worth whenever you speak
Vocalize affirmation through daily compliments
Express unlimited grace by making mistakes on the side of love, not judgement.

"People should not be afraid of their government, the government should be afraid of it's people."
V is for Vendetta

Whad Up Peoplez?!!!!

It's Tuesday, I am stoked, grab your am beverage and Lets.Do.This.! Ok ok... Yes I am hyped only because I broke my routine of oatmeal and yogurt and low fat milk and traded it for a walk on the wild side. A big ole texas cinnamon roll and a cup of vanilla chai tea peoplez! I just had too. I mean...not only am I dealing with the beautiful gift of PMS- I also am currently suffering of *oatmealitus.* It seems that I may have od'd on so much fiber that if I sneezed I will pass a fart. So- I just do what all women do. Sneeze and squeeze my butt cheeks so hard together- it keeps from those moments of uneasiness...Oh yeah but I digress...Men fart...Women quiff...

Do you all recall my letter to the IRS? well guess what? Momma took the time to scroll through all 200 sumethin posts just to sling it back at you for your reading pleasure:

To: IRS Amendment Department
RE: Amended Tax Form

Greetings,

I am sending this letter in hopes to finalize any future confusion in reference to the above Filing. I have sent documentation certified mail as well as through the Advocacy Department for Tax issues and I am still being sent letters from your office indicating that you have yet received the required filings to close my case. Unfortunately I see this not only as a problem of stupidity within your sectors but also a cause for alarm as you are to be Governing over the financial implementations bestowed upon you for the United States of America, and yet cannot seem to process paperwork correctly.

If you could take a moment out of your day of sending letters to remind me of how much of my tax refund you have made out with, perhaps somewhere on your computer screen you will see where I have been dealing with you all since 2005 on a repetitive basis, not as one of a blind date inquiry.From now on, please cease and desist from sending me any further letters from your office informing me of how much of my refund you decided to take for supposed lack of paperwork.

I, like many other Americans I am sure, do not need to be reminded of how bad I was screwed without the Vaseline. For now, just go ahead and enjoy my refund as you use it for your next Office Party Expenditures. I am quite sure you all can enjoy expensive coffee and gourmet doughnuts at the cost of tax payers’ money. But be careful and try not to choke as you will find out when you do properly credit my paperwork by April 15, 2007- that you will need to refund me 906.36. I would like to have that as quickly as you took my refund. I have a trip planned.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter, AGAIN.

Ok..so...I got a letter back from them on Friday informing me that they apologize- but they are still reviewing my case and are experiencing heavy delays processing. Well alrighty then...A letter telling me that versus a * flat out no* is a good thing for me....right? RIGHT... Yo-Ho-Yo-Ho A Piratess Life is for me.

Next on the agenda of callie- Mattel. I am going to write them and introduce my product..Mattel is mainly known for this:



I call it *Barhoochie* I have never liked Barhoochie, nor have I ever owned one. I had two dolls in my life- one who was my favorite doll baby until my dad stepped on her accidentally and her head flew off her neck like a nightmare out of clockwork orange. Recognize people, trauma in my childhood started early. The other doll I had was this big ole doll that was really neat. She was a medium complexion and all you had to do was change her skull cap around and she would have black flowing hair one moment, and then blonde flowing hair the next. But- she still didnt really appeal to me until I grabbed some stay on markers and tried to add more makeup. It was at that moment I may have grasped the concept of Drag Queen...Holla!

Ok so back to Mattel...I am going to send them a letter and introduce THE LIFECOACH DOLLS...See...these dolls will be in a class of their own. They will cater to women and young girls ALL over the world *cause I roll like that* AND they will teach women LifeCoaching skills...First they will all be one color...a really pretty Star Trek Green. and they will all have one color hair schemes..Don't hate....appreciate my gift of Lurve people....And theses...These are my gifts to share with Mattel and the world peoplez.....

1. Substance Abuse Chloe: she will come with an assortment of substances and you will be able to follow along with the cd and interact by peel on stickers and facial emotions of the levels of substance abuse...By the end of the cd program- Chloe will then be presented with a beauty from within that radiates outward and she will be a clean and sober Chloe.

2. You Can Do It Jessica: This doll will come complete with an interactive Cd of lifesaving skills when going through hardships all by herself. Not only will she come complete with an interactive cd- but she will also come with a chastity belt to reclaim her virginity and not have the worries of selling herself out for the pimp daddy man that could care less about her. I am even thinking of tossing in a cd for her listening pleasure of Tina Turners Proud Mary.

3. Get Fat Get Thin Be Happy Sunshine: This doll will be the envy for all women. Not only will she come complete with an interactive cd- BUT she will also come complete with latex foam attachments to assist with what it's like to starve yourself- and what it's like to hurl over a toilet bowl. *the little doll baby toilet bowl comes included* after this cd interaction not only will Get Fat Get Thin Be Happy Sunshine Barbie appreciate her beauty in all areas, but she will also get a You Go Girl Diploma signed by yours truly...*moi*

Seeeee Peoplez...Life Skills....Ya think Mattel will like it? *laughs* probably not...but hey it's a try....
Other than that - I am buzzed on sugar and have the shakes. I could be considered a tourettes patient right now- but for now I will just let you all go with a :Arrrrggggghhhhhh Matey!

ciao!
callie

*Ya'll want this party started right?* That was moi on yesterday peoples! Holla!!! But of course, it helps if other people at a party are in the right frame of mind also. There is nothing more craptastic than going to an event and having a sourpuss in the midst.

Anywho- I must tell you that my body is sore..I mean- crawling on the floor - just let me die sore. Mainly because you all know I have been working part time at a Salon on Saturdays from 9am till 6, so after running back and forth scrubbing heads, and blow drying and all that- back to back for hours, just let me pass out in peace. But on this particular Saturday I promised my future 7th grader we would do something special. He wanted to do movies *rental* and a snorkel mask...??? *what*??? are you sure???? Yes...he was adamant...So- after work we hit the video store, went to the grocery store and loaded up on movie sticky sweetness must haves, and then to Toys R Us for a face mask......

Getting back home was easy....Getting up after watching 2 movies was hard...My body ached......not to mention the Fiddle Faddle- 2 reeses cups, Twizzlers, and soda did no justice to my already weakend condition. *Oh SNAPS* forgot...The movie to watch peoples if you have not seen it yet:

"NORBIT"



I did watch this later by myself after mr.man left to spend the night with the other two amigos, and I must say: I laughed my butt off.... "I'm Slidin!!!!" *laughs* ya gotta watch it to see what I am talking about. Other than that- Sunday after church- there was a pool party-picnic thingy.I in all honesty had no intentions of swimming. I even told a few ladies that asked why I didnt bring my swimsuit...I personally was a little creeped and shy walking around in something where my twins and jo-lo booty was hanging out of wet material...Case. Closed. But what ended up happening was that I conned a friend of mine into first- doing the trampoline with me....He of course protested because Hey...we are grown adults and adults don't do that kind of stuff..Well I digress...because I am Callie, and yes you will and can- because that is how I roll....So he ends up taking off his socks and shoes, and we were on that toy like stink on poo!

People- he did some kind of aeronautical double eagle spread, I myself just flew higher and higher into positions that I have not done since my last interlude of sex before reclaiming celibacy... *amen*.... 20 minutes of flyin and bouncin we were wiped out I gotta tell you. that hurt.... We ended up crawling out of the mechanism of bouncing death and panted our way back to the picnic table area where I decided on the next adventure.... Dare and Double Dare....After we had taken our breather I looked at my poor friend Eddie and said- "Yo" "Let's go swimming!"...Of course he looked at me like I had lost my mind..He didn't have a suit. I didn't either...and yeah..He protested in which I had to throw out the bluff dare card...

"I dare you" Oh Snap! that challenge has been issued... He still didn't budge and kept giving me excuses..So I threw in another challenge... "I double dare you" Ooooohhhs and Ahhhhhs circulated around the table....He still hesitated and looked at me and smile...So I threw in the final challenge... "I double dog dare you not man enough to jump in the pool with me triple dare you!"

Spank.Me. Senseless. People.

My bud stood up, once again removed his shoes, grabbed my hand and we took off running like Forest Gump into the wild blue yonder of Coolness! It was Sweeeet.... Before long I started a trend, other people jumped in fully clothed- some got pushed in...but it was all good.... I was after 5 hours of swimming, water volleyball, trampoline jumping, hot dog-hamburger-chip eating- worn the heck out! Mr. 7th grader and I strolled back home and just basically fell out on the living room floor. At this current time of posting, I am begging for some Bayer, or Advil.....I ache......

That basically was my weekend...Anyone having a party? invite me....enuff said...*laughs*

ciao bella!
callie

thought for the day: "Ling Ling, the orphans got into the MSG again! They all gonna be bald!"

My love is doing what I am doing now- sharing with you what touches me............ And this gentleman always makes my heart soar......



When Life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.

The voice of life in me cannot reach the ear of life in you; but let us talk that we may not feel lonely.

Now let us play hide and seek. Should you hide in my heart it would not be difficult to find you. But should you hide behind your own shell, then it would be useless for anyone to seek you. A woman may veil her face with a smile.

How noble is the sad heart who would sing a joyous song with joyous hearts.

Should you care to write (and only the saints know why you should) you must needs have knowledge and art and music -- the knowledge of the music of words, the art of being artless, and the magic of loving your readers.

-UTOPIA-



What is this that we seek?
This place of idealism called
Utopia...........

How does one create it
How does one plan to get there?
This place called
Utopia..............

Who conjured this image
and have they considered the ramifications
of our current existence in order to reach this place
Utopia..............

What current existence is free from
evil of wars, famine, sorrow,death
and yet can be so called attained through striving and living
in this land called
Utopia.............

For it is not merely
just an idea of perfection
but an idea of current lawlessness and corruption
between the haves, and the have nots.

How much more of our freedoms shall we hand over
in hopes of reaching this place
Utopia.................

How long does one continue to subdue their voices
and no longer think for themselves
only to drift endlessly in confusion and doubt
for what is right- versus wrong.

Utopia..............a concept to perhaps calm the outer surfaces
of one to think and reason,
and yet- they are the ones that cannot tell that this place
Utopia is nothing more than a detour of the human spirit
that once was.
