tellin stories under the stars

by MichaelDavid @ 08/31/2007 - 17:41:34

its been a good day.  last night we had a great time drinking wine and tellin stories till about 3am.  MsV and ryan had never heard some of the ones that auntie told but i had.  God its been years since she told me those stories and i sat there grinnin like a lunatic listenin to em again.  heres one of them that used to make me laugh.  last night i laughed until the tears were rolling down my cheeks.  this ones called brer rabbit and the tar baby. 

One day Brer Fox thought of how Brer Rabbit had been cutting up his capers and bouncing around until he'd come to believe that he was the boss of the whole gang. Brer Fox thought of a way to lay some bait for that uppity Brer Rabbit.
 
He went to work and got some tar and mixed it with some turpentine. He fixed up a contraption that he called a Tar-Baby. When he finished making her, he put a straw hat on her head and sat the little thing in the middle of the road. Brer Fox, he lay off in the bushes to see what would happen.
 
Well, he didn't have to wait long either, 'cause by and by Brer Rabbit came pacing down the road--lippity-clippity, clippity-lippity--just as sassy as a jaybird. Brer Fox, he lay low.
Brer Rabbit came prancing along until he saw the Tar-Baby and then he sat back on his hind legs like he was astonished. The Tar-Baby just sat there, she did, and Brer Fox, he lay low.
 
"Good morning!" says Brer Rabbit, says he. "Nice weather we're having this morning," says he.
 
Tar-Baby didn't say a word, and Brer Fox, he lay low.
 
"How are you feeling this morning?" says Brer Rabbit, says he.
 
Brer Fox, he winked his eye real slow and lay low and the Tar-Baby didn't say a thing.
 
"What is the matter with you then? Are you deaf?" says Brer Rabbit, says he. "Cause if you are, I can holler louder," says he.
 
The Tar-Baby stayed still and Brer Fox, he lay low.
 
"You're stuck-up, that's what's wrong with you. You think you're too good to talk to me," says Brer Rabbit, says he. "And I'm going to cure you, that's what I'm going to do," says he.
 
Brer Fox started to chuckle in his stomach, he did, but Tar-Baby didn't say a word.
 
"I'm going to teach you how to talk to respectable folks if it's my last act," says Brer Rabbit, says he. "If you don't take off that hat and say howdy, I'm going to bust you wide open," says he.
 
Tar-Baby stayed still and Brer Fox, he lay low.
 
Brer Rabbit kept on asking her why she wouldn't talk and the Tar-Baby kept on saying nothing until Brer Rabbit finally drew back his fist, he did, and blip--he hit the Tar-Baby on the jaw. But his fist stuck and he couldn't pull it loose. The tar held him.
But Tar-Baby, she stayed still, and Brer Fox, he lay low.
 
"If you don't let me loose, I'm going to hit you again," says Brer Rabbit, says he, and with that he drew back his other fist and blap--he hit the Tar-Baby with the other hand and that one stuck fast too.
 
Tar-Baby she stayed still, and Brer Fox, he lay low.
 
"Turn me loose, before I kick the natural stuffing out of you," says Brer Rabbit, says he, but the Tar-Baby just sat there.
 
She just held on and then Brer Rabbit jumped her with both his feet. Brer Fox, he lay low.
 Then Brer Rabbit yelled out that if that Tar-Baby didn't turn him loose, he was going to butt her crank-sided. Then he butted her and his head got stuck.
 
Brer Fox walked out from behind the bushes and strolled over to Brer Rabbit, looking as innocent as a mockingbird.
 
"Howdy, Brer Rabbit," says Brer Fox, says he. "You look sort of stuck up this morning," says he. And he rolled on the ground and laughed and laughed until he couldn't laugh anymore.
 
By and by he said, "Well, I expect I got you this time, Brer Rabbit," says he. "Maybe I don't, but I expect I do. You've been around here sassing after me a mighty long time, but now it's the end.
 
And then you're always getting into something that's none of your business," says Brer Fox, says he. "Who asked you to come and strike up a conversation with this Tar-Baby? And who stuck you up the way you are? Nobody in the round world. You just jammed yourself into that Tar-Baby without waiting for an invitation," says Brer Fox, says he.
"There you are and there you'll stay until I fix up a brushpile and fire it up, "cause I'm going to barbecue you today, for sure," says Brer Fox, says he.
 
Then Brer Rabbit started talking mighty humble.
 
"I don't care what you do with me, Brer Fox, says he, "Just so you don't fling me in that briar patch. Roast me, Brer Fox, says he, "But don't fling me in that briar patch."
 
"It's so much trouble to kindle a fire," says Brer Fox, says he, "that I expect I'd better hang you," says he.
 
"Hang me just as high as you please, Brer Fox, says Brer Rabbit, says he, "but for the Lord's sake, don't fling me in that briar patch," says he.
 
"I don't have any string, " says Brer Fox, says he, "Now I expect I had better drown you, " says he.
 
"Drown me just as deep as you please, Brer Fox," says Brer Rabbit, says he, "But please do not fling me in that briar patch, " says he.
 
"There's no water near here," says Brer Fox, says he, "And now I reckon I'd better skin you," says he.
 
"Skin me Brer Fox," says he. "Snatch out my eyeballs, tear out my ears by the roots," says he, "But please, Brer Fox, don't fling me in that briar patch, " says he.
 
Of course, Brer Fox wanted to get Brer Rabbit as bad as he could, so he caught him by the behind legs and slung him right in the middle of the briar patch. There was a considerable flutter when Brer Rabbit struck the bushes, and Brer Fox hung around to see what was going to happen.
 
By and by he heard someone call his name and 'way up on the hill he saw Brer Rabbit sitting cross-legged on a chinquapin log combing the tar pitch out of his hair with a chip. Then Brer Fox knew he had been tricked.
 
Brer Rabbit hollered out, "Born and bred in the briar patch. I was born and bred in the briar patch!" And with that he skipped out just as lively as a cricket in the embers of a fire.

The End

ryan told us some stories that he heard from his dad from when he was a butler for this lord and lady somebody and those were pretty funny.  then MsV started off tellin some stories about Her family which was fine.. .. but then She started talkin about the house ghost called Mary.  now im sorry but that freaks me out.  ive heard her.  its the real thing - no lie.  i had to have a cuddle after that lol. 
it was great anyway. 
MsV said that im gonna have a surprise when i get home but Shes not tellin me what it is.  oh thats a mean mean trick lol.  ryan knows about it too and so does auntie.  they all smile and say im gonna love it.  ryan says it might even make me cry.  its makin me crazy to know what it is but they say all in good time.

i gotta go cause we are gonna do some stuff tonight.  i cant tell what on here.

love,
michael 

all day

by MichaelDavid @ 08/30/2007 - 06:27:08

were on the water all day today.. .. fun
i got my left hand into something yesterday
so its sore and a little bit swollen on top
feels sorta like nettle does
it stung on contact
its just slightly sensitive flesh today 
is all thats left for me to type just cryptic stuff?
is it just that ryan is good at his phrasin of things
so he keeps at it and doesnt have to delete posts?
ive stepped in it so many times
ive lost count
i still have all my freedoms to be open and real in my non online life
but i miss it being real online too
i miss being able to talk freely
it feels stupid to have a blog and have to watch every word
i just wanna go home
get on with all the beta stuff
just push on into the decision ive made
which can only be for the best
my world is on that stretch of property in england
sure.. .. yeah its confinement.. .. but in the space of about 18 months
ive been conditioned to feel thats my world
thats my safe place
thats the only place i can trust and be trusted
the stuff with the clone only reinforced what i already felt
i just didnt know it yet
i wasnt aware of it
i cant be anywhere else
MsVs residence is the only place that im safe and loved
right now i cant even imagine feelin comfortable in miami
and i grew up there
what a neat little box huh?
it doesnt matter cause its done now
ill go on and do and be and become more and grow
ill be the boy She wants
and ill be content and happy and willing
im not sorry
its a good decision
my eyes are open and i see more than i ever have before
yieldin to this dominant woman is the right thing
i know She loves me and wants to mold me into someone important
Shes been patient with me
my adoptive brother has been too
theyve loved me
and they will keep lovin me
im sure of it
sorry if this is nonsense to ne who reads it
it makes alota sense to me
