Todays thought...a little about bugs, a little about my neighbor and a little about a song I heard while watching one of my my favorite shows on television.
A little about bugs. The thought was brought up at work the other day and I began thinking about bugs I will tolerate and bugs I wont. The bugs I will tolerate list is very short and is as follows; Lady Bugs (Good Luck); Lightening Bugs (Any bug that glows is cool in my book); Praying Mantis's (Awesome to look at) and Walking Sticks (Self explanitory). Then it also got me to thinking about the fact that some people think that bugs are just for dirty houses. Well let me tell you...my house may not be white glove testable...but it is certainly not dirty by any means. However...I have on occasion had a wood roach or centipede. Wood roaches are not to be misconstrude with the common cockroach. They are about 3 times the size of cockroaches and are pitch black, as cockroaches are brown. They also feast on wood that is old. Centipedes as well will come from when anyone is doing any type of excavating or what not within a 500 yard radius.
A little about my neighbor. My neighbor is awesome. I love her to death. We first met when I approached her about her cat and she and I got into a conversation about her having surgery. I agreed to help her while she was down and out from the surgery. That was 4 years ago...and now we have a friendship that is beyond compare. She spoils me rotten as she knows of my obsession for Mac and Cheese and as she has done on so many occassion, if she catches it on sale she will buy me a few boxes and it will usually last for a few days. I will call her Sam. So I say to you Sam...Love ya chickie...and keep the mac comin!
And now...a little about a song I heard while watching a favorite show. TV land did a 48 hour Baywatch marathon this past weekend. Yes...yes...I know...Not your typical non male watching Baywatch...but I love it! Anyway one of the songs has a line that goes "We dream in color but we live in black and white". After thinking about it...it begun to make sense. I mean...think about it...when you dream...you dream in color...there are no boundaries. No lines...no rules to make you color in between the lines. But when you live...you live in black and white...where there are boundaries. Most of them written down in a textbook by someone a long time ago and taught to us growing up that there are boundaries in the mind that we have to abide by. But just think about the statement that the average human only uses 10% of his brain. What is the other 90% doing? Makes ya wonder huh?
I end this blog with one final not to all. On the bugs issue...bugs are a typical every day thing. You are not impervious to them no matter how clean you are...or how rich you think you think you are. On the neighbor issue...Sam...Love ya girl. You go out there and you do your thing and you don't care what anyone thinks. Thats so Me of you! And on the dream in color live in black and white issue...use your mind. Don't be affraid to go the extra mile. If you think you can and you believe you can...I don't think anything is impossible.

Todays thought...An Ode to my mama.
My mama has been pretty much shit on lately. Life has definitely thrown her a few curveballs. And I can proudly say that while she has hit a couple of foul balls, she hit one over the fence and out of the ball park. She has kept a strong will about here and has been able to carry on. I know she doesn't think that it's anything major...but I'm so proud of her. She has toughed through the work, the family and all the other issues hampering her and yet she still is able to say "You know what...you live, you learn, you spend a lot of money on expensive diapers and then you get Luvs."
No...seriously though...no matter what has come her way she has gotten through it...gotten stronger from it and is thriving very well. On the lighter side of all of this there is an opportunity that has been made present that my mama MAY qualify to have Cochlear Implants. For those of you who don't know what that is..it means my mama may be able to hear for the first time in her life without the use of hearingaids. She goes in soon to find out and I hope and pray beyond all reason that she will be able to take the opportunity by the hand and run with it. It is believed that she has a profound enough hearing loss that she will be able to qualify for it. I will definitely keep you posted.
To you mama...I love you ...and I am SO PROUD OF YOU! You have been a standing tree in a forest of seedlings. You haven't let any of this bring you down at all and you have stood there knowing that no matter what happens...you will be alright. And no matter what...I am here for you. Just give me a call if you need to cry or vent. I Love You....Chickadee

Todays thought....Election day
Hello Everybody....Its Election Day here. Well...election night rather. There is a lot of goings on in my place of work and out in the streets at my house. People holding up Bush/Cheney signs as well as those holding up Kerry/Edwards signs. People driving by one particular couple of people were honking and waving peace signs in the air. When the guy holding the sign turned around you could see it was a cardboard sign done by him and his companion with big bold letters saying "God Bless America...Vote Bush!"
It is interesting to see how well people are reacting to this election. They say that people are coming out of the woodwork this year to vote. I think everyone should vote...no matter who they are voting for. I used to have an attitued of 1 vote doesn't count. I used to think...What is my vote going to matter? I'm just one person. Until the infamouse 2000 Florida recount took place that is. Then it dawned on me...that my vote does count. My voice does matter. Then it got me to thinking...if everyone in the US had an attitude that I used to of thinking that my voice wouldn't matter...we would have a pretty run-over nation. If that was the case...then we wouldn't have the democracy that we have today. We would have a dictatorship.
If no one decided to vote in issues that they found important...then what choice would America have than to become a dictatorship. It would show an attitude of America that we don't care and since someone has to make decisions...then why don't we just let someone do it for us. Why not become a dictatorship instead of a democracy. Lets just become like Russia or Germany. Or even Iraq before we went over there a few years back. Just think about that dictatorship. Or how about the dictator that ruled over Germany a few decades back.
I don't know about you...but I am DAMN GLAD we live in a democratic nation and not a dictatorship. We have a voice America! Stand up and use it! If you have something to say...say it! Don't feel like I did 4 years ago and think that one person can't make a difference. Look at it this way...If you read this blog...and you think about what I just said...and you feel better...and possibly change your thinking that one person can't make a difference...then I just made one!
Don't get me wrong...I may not change the world...but if I only change one person for the better by reading my blogs...then I just made a difference. And thats worth it to me.
Think about it!
