    Well, I won't go into my real life dramatics because I have many stories, so I will give you a fictional one. I am a sucker for romance but stick with horror so I don't have to feel that mushy gushy crap. LOL. I love and always will love The Phantom of The Opera...And I'm talking 1925 version.

      The mysterious man that teaches her to sing. How a man from her childhood is in love with her and how she's torn between the dark and the light. You feel bad for the Phantom even though he's done some bad things anyway. In the end, you kind of don't want her really choosing either...

    I was thinking the same - while my own story may be somewhat fascinating to me at times... never mind :) I really enjoyed reading White Tiger by Aravind Adiga. I knew as I was reading it that he did not exaggerate and that his story was based on facts and woven into a story. It is current still as when you make that call to service your appliance or your computer or or or - the connection ends up in India. How on earth did India catapult itself into 2012? and now as I recently went furniture shopping I found the 'ruins' of India - all that HISTORY sitting in my favorite store and thought - what the hell have they done with their beautiful artifacts and heritage? At what point will they wake up and decide that the loss has not balanced with their gain. sorry to get so serious her as it was a really good book - but what meaning does it have without a really good rant?

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
