Silly twitter, tweets are for kids...and my enjoyment :)

Trending twitter topics are always interesting.  Answers from around the globe tickle my sides, and also cause full on belly laughter.  Currently one of them are #IveAlwaysWantedTo, to which the first one I seen was from:

Evil_Dumbledore: #IveAlwaysWantedTo turn around in a big chair, and say "I've been expecting you..."

Absolutely hilarious!  In fact, I'm going to do it at work tomorrow :).  So, what would my answer be?  I don't know.  I've done a lot in my life, and traveled all over, and had some pretty fun times...stuff that just kind of happened unexpected.  Also, I have done a lot on my life list that I created when I was eight; however, the last thing was to be president (not so much anymore).   

Along with trending topics, you get to see the overall voice of people in general; which is to be accepted for who they are, and how they are viewed.  At times I have wished I could step outside of myself to see what other people see, but after 10 minutes I lose interest.  I really don't care.  At one time, when I would get dressed in the morning I would chant, business casual, business casual, business casual.  Now, it's more like young, fun, and decent, with a hint of business casual.  I even cared how others viewed my hair, which has had a drastic change within two years, that went from chemically enhanced, to au naturale...and wigs.  It has since become part of the free expression that I have been embracing.  

However, lets look a the topic in depth.  I've Always Wanted To...seems like life is over with, and what was that one thing you didn't get to do?  Do some people consider things they have never done, will never happen?  Perhaps some people will see them out of reach?  What I have learned from Oprah's Lifeclass, is that you can fulfill things on a smaller scale.  For instance, I wanted to be a writer; currently I have a blog that some people read.  I also want to be a designer, but even if I only design for myself or my kiddies, I'm still a designer.  In small ways, I'm satisfying my soul.  

So, subconsciously I cannot partake in that trending topic, because I always find ways to do what I want...my heart's desires.  Hopefully one day, all those young people screaming for acceptance, and self assurance can read The Last Lecture, by Randy Pausch, which indefinitely changed my life.  Just be who you are, and achieve as much as you can, and have fun at it.  In the meantime, I'll be in the background, hot tea in hand, laughing my head off.

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...
