Has a passion for wearing onesies

"We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses--one foot is on the horse called "fate," the other on the horse called "free will." And the question you have to ask every day is--which horse is which? Which horse do I need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do I need to steer with concentrated effort?"
-Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

When I was little I use to stay up late at night and try to figure out how I would escape from my burning room, if my house were to be on fire. At the time I chose "pilly" (my pillow) as what I would rescue first. But now I would surely take Honey, and then my photo albums. Because pictures can't be replaced, and neither can Honey, everything else is replaceable.

So for those of you who know me, you know that my most precious pet ever was a goat named Bobo. He was a nubian goat with grey ears and a grey nose, and at the age of 9 or 10 he was the love of my life. My sister and brother use to harass me and say that I was going to marry him and have "goatlins". Anyways, I only bring this up because several nights ago in my dream my dad was trying to explain to a group of random strangers how Bobo died. His explanation was this: "Bobo got bitten by a hamster"

What is the difference between 'grey' and 'gray'?
Why is bra singular and panties plural?


"Tell love you want a momento of it and obtain a lock of its hair. Burn the hair in a dime-store incense burner with yin/yang symbols on three sides. Face southwest. Talk fast over the burning hair in a convincingly exotic language. Remove the ashes of the burnt hair and use them to paint a moustache on your face. Find love. Tell it you are someone new. It will stay." -Tom Robbins

You have this idea of what kind of movie your life is and you expect the characters you cast to behave a certain way. To read from the script.
But the best ones never do.

"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

I have regular intimate communion with the Divine Wow (formerly known as "God"). Whether I "believe" in my Dear Companion is irrelevant -- just as I don't need to "believe" in a juicy Fuji apple while I'm eating it. That's why atheists seem to me like goofy kooks, as fundamentalist in their own way as evangelical Christians. They have absolute, unshakable faith that there's no such thing as our Big Wild Friend. Agnostics I can understand better; they're like pre-orgasmic virgins who are at least open to the possibility of getting the full treatment. I offer these comments as a prelude to my prediction for you, Sagittarius, which is that you will soon have a very good chance to get up-close and personal with the Divine Wow. (If that offends you because you're an atheist, no worry. Nothing bad will happen if you turn down the invitation.)  

I want a pair of "baby legs"....for adults of course. babylegs.com

Maybe a black onesie to go with.

“I can’t tell if she’s actually real, or if she’s stopped caring if she’s real or not. Or is not caring what makes a person real?”

Some mornings the sun looks wrong outside my window.

“The answers were maddeningly absent—it was like trying to remember a song that you knew made you feel a certain way, without a title, artist, or even a few bars to bring it back.”

My 2^nd favorite part of Arizona- the effervescent smell of boiling sewer.

A few nights ago I had a dream that I took a group of students to Disneyland with two co-workers. There was a sparring match between two giants. I was touring apartments, and found one with yellow and red walls, a projector, and some door art that looked like a Banksy piece. I also took a trip down a very long tunnel slide. It was in a mansion that someone rented at Disneyland.

Seeing the color red in your dream often represents one's basic emotions, earthy nature, and sexuality. When seen in a decorative sense, red signifies richness and comfort.
Yellow symbolizes lightness of feeling; intellect; extroversion, cowardice; intuition; hopefulness for the future. 

Oh, and at Barnes the other day, I found a book called "Build Your Own Dream Tree house". I think it is a sign.

Nothing is faster than the speed of thought.

Everyone edits themselves here, and it makes me wonder whether you’re ever actually connected to real people, or just the people they all wish they were.

Last night I had a dream in which I was watching a slide show of my life; however, the  pictures in the slide show were ones that I have never taken, and encompassed things I have never done. I also watched a "cheerleading" exhibition. But it resembled more of a circus performance...

Speaking of which, I think being a circus performer would be an ideal job. You would get to travel, perform, wear cool costumes, and play with elephants. What's not to love about that?
I think it may be my new calling in life. But I'm probably getting a bit old for it...so I better act fast.

In my resume I would include the following qualitifcations:
1) Loves tents
2) Is an animal whisperer
3) Flexible (or use to be, but I could get is back, I swear)
4) Likes to play with fire in controlled environments
5) Has a passion for wearing onesies

I have always been fascinated by the story of Pandora's Box...which is why the new piece of art (rookie art) that I am working on is themed around this story:

"In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman on earth. Zeus ordered Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship, to create her and he did, using water and earth. The gods endowed her with many talents; Aphrodite gave her beauty, Apollo music, Hermes persuasion, and so forth. Hence her name: Pandora, "all-gifted".

When Prometheus stole fire from heaven, Zeus took vengeance by presenting Pandora to Epimetheus, Prometheus' brother. With her, Pandora had a jar which she was not to open under any circumstance. Impelled by her natural curiosity, Pandora opened the jar, and all evil contained escaped and spread over the earth. She hastened to close the lid, but the whole contents of the jar had escaped, except for one thing which lay at the bottom, and that was Hope."

"They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for."
