Mar. 5th, 2009 @ 07:38 pm I'm getting Married!
No I won't tell you when.

I'll offer you a reason why... in a quote from Danni the Crowbar, "Pet you co-works. It lowers your blood pressure!"

Yup. I love this woman.

Jan. 18th, 2009 @ 11:47 am I started making bread...
Current Mood: lovedloved
But not any bread. Banana bread. Then banana bread w/ chunks. That didn't work out so well. Then Acorn Squash Bread w/ fresh ground ginger, molasses, and chopped pecans. Addictive. Way too delicious. So a cake w/o sugar is basically bread. No wonder I was so confused a couple of months ago. Glad I got that sorted out. It is odd how I find my way sometimes. I enjoy that my perception of Life seems to be about making problems for myself only to find that I can't. I can however try something new, and it often surprises me that it relates to what I was doing all along. That is how I get perspective.

When we first started dating my intended asked me what Honor was. It's different for everyone, and I tried to enumerate the 'rules' that I try to abide. Reading more is great for questions like that. Honor is trust. If you are trustworthy, you are honorable. If you think you are honorable, but aren't trustworthy - think hard about why not. You might not be right about one or the other.

Trust is an interesting thing. Trust = truth. Truth = beauty. To thine own self be true, right? To thine own self be beautiful, no? How about trust yourself, the rest will follow? Do you have to trust in a universe, a being, other than yourself? I don't think so, but personification helps. We are creatures of metaphor, understanding our world first through our senses, then beyond. I've repeatedly questioned the accepted fact that there are things we can't perceive with five senses. Everyone has a sixth sense, you can't touch happiness or depression. Freedom, hope, joy, love, that sense that exists just beyond the ache of a well used body... yet I feel them. Should I question my feelings so? These are things I can't touch, taste, smell, see, or hear with out metaphor. The things I trust.

Back from camp out! Yay Pallace!

*phew* was I wiped out? Some muscles are sore more than others... I need to run up hill more often. Other muscles feel like they've had the rust beat off of them... and beat we did! Drum circle rocked! Wow did I ever feel creative and involved. And its going to continue! 7pm-10pm at a different place each week TBA on Tuesdays. Drum and Beer Corpse! DAB Corp., not to be confused with BAD (that would be putting your beer first). A group / email thing will go up later. I'm just posting because I'm excited and feeling creative and hyper and showered. I'm hoping and intending this to be the equivalent of session drumming with lots of 'other' mixed in for texture, layer, and keeping that 'thing' that we found around the circle going.

Sep. 28th, 2008 @ 11:05 pm News in my head reads weird
On a typical tour of the White House today something strange happened half-way through. A group in regular business attire were more than they seemed. The details include specially designed briefcases that converted into a pop-up circus tent. Within this changing room, clowns started appearing. Approximately a dozen of the tours attendees were wearing tear away suits that contained non-other than Clown costumes. The juggling, unicycle, and balloon animal acts all ceased as they were escorted away. When asked what this was all about, one clown stepped forward to explain:
"We are the clowns behind this administration. We've decided the fun has gone on long enough, and that we're very sorry for this joke. We take full credit for the charade that has been this present Administration. We thought it was funny at the time. We now turn all our powers back over to American Democratic process. Again, we're sorry for the joke. We were just clowning around."
Now back to you Bob.

Aug. 2nd, 2008 @ 07:40 pm Mission adopt a Zombie
Current Mood: amusedamused
Where: In front of the un-leased store next to PetCo at the Hancock Shopping Plaza

What: Just like the folks who bring dogs out in pens for folks to adopt, we're thinking some slow moving trainable Zs need good homes too!
Supplies list:
4 road cones
4 tall dowels or broom stick handles
Orange Construction 'fencing'
Staple gun
Polo's with 'Adopt a Z' logo (for the Z re-hab associates!)
2 body bags
Zombies
Zombie adopting families
Clipboards
Fabreeze

So we set up a basic Pen just large enough to keep 4 or 5 Zs wandering around standing up. The assistants are very nice and never break character about how cool a Z is for a pet. They are trainable, vegetarian (they don't know its gummy strawberries, not bits of organ like it looks), and the smell really isn't a problem. Also, they make great temporary pets for folks who have trouble raising other critters. "You can't kill them, really." We'll start the day off by bringing a Z out in a body bag. When we lay it down in the pen, we step back around the corner to get another. The Z struggles a bit, then stands up. When we bring out the next Z, we grab the bag from under fence. Some Zs are smart enough to know tricks. Most revolve around things like, "Speak Z! Speak!" .... "BraaaaAAAaaaaains."

Adopting couples sign a waiver and walk happily away with their Z. Or Scream and get 'chased.' Thats playing with them! We may even have an extra polo for a fresh 'Adopt a Z' Z.

When: TBA (weather is too hot right now, but that just gives us time to prep make-up and supplies."

Jul. 3rd, 2008 @ 04:21 pm How I liked Hawai'i, in some kinda Prose-poem thing
Current Mood: enthralledenthralled
The word Hawai'i now makes me think
 of hula skirts and smiling people.
Blue has a new definition.
 And though I grew up near the shores
 of the largest freshwater lakes in the world,
I now feel how light, warm, and wet 
Earth really is. Earth,
she's some kinda woman
Hawai'ian Islands are jewels she wears.
As a water sign I now identify
with a bigger manifestation
of my element... a  whole lot bigger. 
I'm starting to feel reminded of the moon
 but in the summer you rarely see her
 not realizing sometimes you don't realize it.
(it just depends on how late your out, or early your up)
 I feel like I'm in the summer of my life.
I'm starting the halfway point of a revolution.
I've accepted that my life is going to be hot for a while.
It's a good place to be.
That is what Hawaii was for me.
An epiphany of my past, present, and near future.
