Internal Dynasties

We are such emotional beings...some on a greater scale than others.  Amazing it is to know how something can crash a peaceful world, and cause a complete change in our demeanor.  In a tumultuous fashion, I watched two wonderful movies this weekend out of order, both vying for complete separate worlds.

First off, I took my kiddies to see 'Kung Fu Panda 2'.  It was so adorable, and graphically appealing, with a powerful message of inner peace.  Acknowledging and accepting your fate/destiny, and the here and now.  I will definitely purchase the movie when it comes out, and subliminally play it on their "bad" days.  However, I learned  while sitting there in that theater along with my children, that I am at peace.  Of course I get thrown off sometimes, but it never last long.  I understand that nothing is permanent, and to not waste energy or time on foolishness.

Needless to say, I had went outside of my romance and comedy genres and watched a psychological thriller, 'Black Swan'.  I actually had to perform self checks throughout the movie, and could no longer balance my inner peace.  I had been drawn into the world of craziness, and couldn't recall whether or not I had really climbed a mountain the day before, or maybe dreamed it.  I was fighting to survive the movie, that projected it's psychosis onto me, and I couldn't turn away.

A moment of inner peace, unbalanced by inner conflict...for a brief moment in time.    I suppose that I understand how some people get lost, and cannot differentiate between delusional and reality.  Too much going on, from past situations deeply embedded within the mind, brewing over time.  It's unfortunate that their inner turmoil can cause pain and suffering to others.  If only everyone knew how to connect to their inner self at an early age.

  **News Flash** Teach Tai Chi during P.E. **News Flash**

Not only is it mentally helpful, but it might teach little kiddies some self discipline at a broader scale, and not just private.  In fact,  I think I'll order some videos for my family :)

    I agree with teaching Tai Chi during P.E. class. I would also like to see more meditation done in schools too.

Brown Eyed Girls

There are some days where I look at my children, and wonder what will become of their life.  After that, I think of ways to help prepare them for situations, that they should be able to control.  For instance, I remember getting in trouble in school because I was offended and arguing with kids about "your momma" jokes.  At that time, I was probably in the first grade, but I remember arguing my case to my mom, on how the kids were talking about her.  What she said, is something that changed my life; which was, "Nicole, they don't know me".  Instantly I understood, and had nothing else to say.  Lessons such as those, are currently work in progress within our household...and will be for a while. In fact, isn't it amazing how some people have no idea of who you are, and yet want to pass judgement on your beliefs, way of life, or moral character.  It's because of that, I look at my children, and wonder about all the things I love about them, and...

Hoopla Over Real Life Situations

America at times reminds me of a bipolar teenager.  Current idiocy is the bickering over a video, from which an incident occurred, causing a bad reaction, by a remorseful person.  When I first heard Rihanna's "Man Down", I couldn't help but "listen" to the lyrics, and notice how powerful the song is.  In fact, I was interested to see how the video would be made, to convey the words to the song.  When I finally watched it, I though it was a great video that detailed the day of a bright haired young lady in Jamaica, and the life changing events that follow. The video wasn't masochistic, or showcasing a good life induced with drugs and alcohol, or bragging about riches soon to be depleted.  No, this video was about a reaction to an assault.  Of all the things going on in our nation, this is what some parents chose to choose a fight with...not to mention it's on an entertainment channel, on a cable network.  The same people who probably frown upon a...

Ewww, that's just gross!

Every morning on my way to work, I pass by a dog park.  Within the area itself, everyone is very active with running, walking, and chatting with other dog owners as their pups played...just their way of beginning their day.  Flash forward to three/four hours later, and the dog park is transformed to a kiddie playground.  Not big kids, but babies and toddlers.  Am I the only one grossed out about this? Just this weekend, I wanted to rant as to why I should not have to pick up doggie poo (I do not own a dog for this very reason), and here in front of me are two worlds colliding.  I wonder if the stay at homes moms, nannies and au pairs know of the transformation.  Is that even sanitary?  I'd like to see the area's hand foot and mouth disease statistics, I hope they aren't staggering.  Is the community as a whole okay with this?  Why not build a playground area for the kids?  Of course I'm disturbed, because I know that not all of the own...
