Silent Debates
My honesty has punished me to a very vivid degree, Speaking to me silently so when I'm dreaming, I find difficulty leveling reality. My maturity has hindered movements I used to fully express this complex personality, and now my fantasy and sanity find it hard to agree.
Shadows of light darken my exposed insecurities, and through meditative dealings I am able to see the real me I want to see...no better yet, I am allowed to see. Because I hide myself productively, strong fully, unwillingly to my lack of disbelief.
Dandruff of mind worry flake off my imagination with … (0 comments)

Awkward, Embarrassing (out of breath) Love.
Similarities are indifferent, bashful, disarray for talent only spoken within, only kissed but by themselves, only mentioned but a word of confused understandings and acceptance among passionate friends for who have long forgotten there only intent to befriend. Stained memories of that which aches my heart, betrayed by that which has but-for-so long ago healed fire to the core of my soul as I am stressfully reminded of that which has stretched my loneliness so. Bold bashfulness strike hard at the emotions emulating from the cubby holes in the soul I own, peaceful though awkwardness, … (0 comments)

Premeditated Conclusions
My simple mind is congested, selfishly speaking, whispering, chattering profusely inside me, about me. My religious disbelief is believable to those who spiritually see, crumbling maturity and acceptability of a concealed personality towering to the peak of his fallen abilities...is all but a perfect image of the person whom you read. Wrinkled smiles of mathematic complexity, vigorous simplicity poetically adapting within me, and showing me how to fully be me.And with two full views of this visual monstrosity's of the verbiage released exponentially, I become powerful mind free with the simplest dividends controlling me.

active rain: (Poem) Marketable Regime... Off Topic! - 10/18/07 02:22 PM
 
Misguided fatigue paints stress across a portrait of what seems to be balanced serenity, stabilized comfortability; mature insanity towards a child raised in poverty and sheltered disbelief. Clouded misconceptions of love and faith taunt this aged mind in insecurity, this fragile soul of severed connectivity, this hidden light of wishful spirituality and yet I still cry out as an individual in need. Humming tunes of the most ballad impressions calms the worry smothering my motivation, heals the piercing act of profiling and racial damnation, speaks volumes to the impressions I envision despite these thoughts of social and mental segregation… so I … (0 comments)

active rain: Juggling Homes... - 09/24/07 11:16 AM
   Juggling homes...           
How many clients are in the dilemma of wanting to move into a home they love, but need to sell their current home first? 
Across the nation we are experiencing 6 to 8 months of average days-on-market.  This is killing the dreams of most sellers; our job has become harder and harder keeping the hope of a good sale in the minds of our clients.  Price reductions are plentiful as the need for relocations and mortgage buyouts grow.  What options are there for our clients?

Even as lenders tighten their credit requirements, it … (2 comments)

active rain: The six figure discount - 09/14/07 12:33 PM
Wow, I understand the market is not booming as it once was but reading the six figure discount from Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. a N.J. based company is completely shocking to me.
(I know this is going to come across as extremely judgmental but I have never understood how a builder justifies slashing prices and offering discounts below fair market value which destroys property values, neighborhood desirability, property comps and appraisals).
I am not a builder and can not relate to issues they face in a falling market, but I would imagine they would build (or should build) homes with a bit … (8 comments)

active rain: A short jump in mortgage apps reminds us that our market still lives. - 09/13/07 01:16 PM
(This is a short snap shot of CNN’s Report)
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported a slight jump in mortgage apps before the Labor Day weekend.  MBA’s statistics show a slight increase of 5.5 Percent at 657.4 up from 622.9 the week before.
 
This does not add much light to the decrease in our home sales which we have been experiencing these past 6 months, and unfortunately it is likely to continue well into the summer of 2008. But this does prove that our market is still functioning appropriately and, despite the negative news, we are still seeing new … (1 comments)
