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.

Grim Reality

Non discriminatory, non forgiving and encompassing all, is death.  Memento Mori, is the Latin phrase meaning to "Remember your mortality", and can bring a certain perspective to life, and your current frame of mind. As a child, I use to hyperventilate and cry uncontrollably to myself on thoughts of death.  It only worsened when I was taught "The Book of Revelations".  From then on, my idea was to live a reclusive life, and not involve myself with a familial status (and pray to God, I died before the end of the world).  All in hopes to escape the grim reality of death touching loved ones.  Perhaps it was then people became oblivious to me.   Never had I went in search for friends or relationships, but always allowed whatever to happen  non discriminatory.  How is my reclusive life going?  Single divorcee, enjoying her two weeks of freedom. Since my teenage years, I grew a new perspective on death.  When I began ...

Somewhere in the Middle

70 years ago, President Roosevelt delivered his " Day of Infamy " speech, following the attack of Pearl Harbor.  70 years today, you can still visually see the sunken USS Arizona, with the same oil floating in the water, still capturing the bodies of some sailors. About 8 hours west of the Pearl Harbor monument, you will find the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots,  in Japan, and in between you can see the destruction of war.   66 years later you can still see the effects of the atom bombs dropped over Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where about 200,000 people died as a the result of the attack. Prior to the atom bombs, about 200,000 people were killed in the Battle of Okinawa , and about 20,000 died in the Battle of Guam . Caught in the middle, and always in between are people that have no voice in neither decisions, nor the outcome.  Just like civilians caught in between war and civil battles; daily,  weekly,  or monthly,  you will find children.....

Body of Art

Twelve years ago I dreamed of one of my many deaths.  For the first couple of years I dismissed it.  However, when September 11 occurred, I became scared and distraught.  Later on, I began to investigate my dream, and now I see it as a work of art.  Many forms of art lie all around, but the most interesting ones can be found in a dream of death that begins with the moment of suspense, through the will power of life, and the masterpiece end of defeat. My canvas begins with myself and others lying asleep around a tan colored truck in a desert atmosphere.  I had long hair, and was dressed in a brown t-shirt and light brown camouflage pants, and suede untied boots.  Suddenly I'm running.  I'm running through the desert, houses, backyards, clothes-lines, climbing fences, and continue to run through more desert.  Before long, I was at an empty tavern.  It was cool and clean, and everything made of mud-brick.  I go out the back door and see m...
