Mix It Up Baby

I paint every now and then. I am no way by any means good at it. But, I enjoy it. Usually, I am bested by my 5 year olds. I'm quite ok with this. The fact of the matter is- it's something that I have created and when it's complete I am the only one who can say it truly sucks ( as I usually do not share my paintings except for the one below).

I have neglected this hobby for a while. Time to pick up a brush and create some chaos.


Hello

Funny story.

Monday- I'm sitting at the front entrance and literally witness this dude standing around, checking things out. He goes to turn and walk away and runs right into the sign pictured below. He was literally right beside this thing when it happens. It almost knocks him on his ass.

I burst out laughing.
He sees me giggling.
His face burns with embarrassment.

I then tell him "don't worry, no one saw"...

Tuesday rolls around.
Same time, same place.
In sitting in the same chair.

He walks out with a friend and spots me. I spot him. We both look at the sign...
I burst out laughing and he shakes his head in embarrassment.

I tell him I wish for a repeat of yesterday.

Perpetually Complicated. Yes. And So Are You!

Indeed by saying perpetual it would recommend that the state of complication will indeed march on.
I can assure you, this is likely the case. Just on varying parallels.

Surely time has a way of working itself into a less convolute or complete cataclysmic state but out of complete complication?

Complicated can be interesting.

Intricacy, complexity, elaborateness....
These are straight from the thesaurus and are related to "complicated" and do not necessarily suggest negativity.

I would love to see all complication dissipate for just a week. That being said life may not be as interesting then. I have the ability to be annoyingly tenacious. Perhaps I could give it a whirl. If I am successful I should consider using the word "transiently" in the title would be more appropriate?

Enough for now.

A hole is meant to be filled.
What happens when you cannot find the peg with which to fill it?

Some may call one crazy for trying to fill a round hole with a square dowel- however, little does this person realize that there is such thing as sandpaper...........

Total random suggestion of the day:

Classy: Pick up a random rock from the road and give it to someone who you hold dear in your heart. Tell them this is what YOU are to THEM.

Trashy:PRETEND to have the biggest fart in a room full if people (make the face and proclaim "silent,yet deadly) and see how many people clear the room or actually say "man, your @&$?ing rotten"



5th Food Group.Caffine.


 The group is derived from mainly empty sources of nutrition that have no signifigant value what-so-ever to ones dietery needs. It provides a jolt of energy when required. It is very comparable to a cold splash in the face or a stranger making an uninhibited decision to sit,naked, on a bench in the Castro district (if this doesn't wake you up then honey, NOTHING will).

It curbs the sugar craving without actually contributing to ones hip circumference (well, that's not scientifically correct but I shall declare the theory factual until otherwise proven). 

 You can whirl it together with pretty much anything. There are so many ways in which it can be consumed. In a mug, in dessert (careful, my theory now stands on a grossly thin sheet of ice), in its raw form, in MARSHMELLOWS?!?!?!?!?, etc, etc.....google it, you can find the many ways. 

Apparently, you are less likely to suffer from Parkinson's. Another notch on the coolness belt. 

When taken as an enema, it detoxifies the liver and cleanses the colon. Everyone wants a clean colon, right?

It can reduce post workout soreness by 48%. Shit you not .... Well, that's arguable considering the above statement.

One word STAMINA. 
 
Anyhow, as addictive as it is, realize one thing. Without it, you simply may not be as fabulous. That's something you don't want to chance, correct? 

Time for my cup of java.

The Select Few

A few months ago I went to Bulk Barn frustrated with the fact that I had just thrown out 3/4 of a $13.00 bag of mix fruit and nuts. It took me 10 minutes of sifting through the bin to scoop out all the dried kiwi. I also removed all the Cheerios and Shreddies from the Bit's n Bites bin.

I take my purchases to the counter. Confused, the cashier asks her manager when they got in dried Kiwi. The manager took a look at my bags, raised an eye brow and asked "really?".

New perspectives

I have learned so much in the past year it's ridiculous. General life has changed so much that I have been forced to view things with a new set of eyes. This is a good thing. I believe when life kicks you in the face you have two choices: take it as a learning experience, go forward and put a smile on your face or see it as life fucking with you and become a complete disaster in the process.

No matter how marginally better I feel when I wear my smile, at least I feel better.

There is a fork

So,here I am. At a fork. At a crossroads. I look to the left and see great things ahead, uncertainty and many hurdles. I look to the right and shrug my shoulders. Shrugging has become tiresome. I wish to not shrug any longer. Either route has consequences. Apparently life is full of them. I can blink and things can be all over tomorrow. I want to experience greatness and extreme happiness. I need so much more of that before this little journey of mine comes to and end. So left I go.

The reason you ask why am I scripting this little "ah-ha" moment.
Let me tell you.
A couple weeks ago my best friend asked me:

"Do you consider yourself a happy person?"

I replied with "Of course!"

"rate your happiness"

I may have said a 7?

"well, what is stopping you from getting to 10?"

WHAT IS STOPPING US FROM REACHING THIS POINT?!?!?!

"Just Saying"

.....things are missed when they have meaning in your life.

Revert to title. ;)

Claws are out

Hmmm, perhaps going into work is not the best idea. I received an email today that thoroughly pissed me off and now I'm ready for a full blown Ali-style boxing match.

This is me breathing for 2 seconds prior to entering back into reality....

Keep calm and carry on they say?
Who the fuck is "they" anyways???
