Proof...

That celebrities live in an alternate universe can be found in what they name their children.

Only in the universe that they reside can you name your child Pilot Inspektor, Moxie CrimeFighter and Audio Science and not fear that they will be tease mercilessly or just be weird people.

A Good Piece of Literature

If you think it has been a long time since you read a good piece of fiction, you should check this article out. And by article I mean Washington Post true nonfiction. This one amused me.

Lecherous, petty, thieving divorce at its finest.

If nothing else a good read.

So here are there three choices:

A Good and Happy Child by Justin Evans

The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold

Run by Ann Patchett


Take the poll to vote for you pick.

Book Club Anyone

Since my life isn't busy enough and I know all my friends have ample time on their hands, I have decided I want to start a book club. I don't read nearly as much as I want to and I haven't been reading because when i am reading a book I really like I tend not to sleep. The thing is my sleep has been weird and filled with a small child. Honestly I don't need this kind of stress. Don't ask I don't know where this baby came from because I don't know. Anyway. I will choose a couple options and put a poll out there and see what the first book will be.

if you would like to be a part of the book club let me know.

Wine Wine Everywhere

Ok I am nowhere near being a wine snob but I really do like the wine. How you will know I am not a wine snob, I cringe when I spend more than $25 for a bottle. I currently have 7 bottles of wine at my house and wouldn't mind expanding my selection. So today I ask you to recommend me a bottle of wine. What's your favorites?

Here's what I got:

Reds:
2004 Venta Mazzaron Tempranillo - my tv drinking wine
2005 Bogel Zinfandel - I think this is the one I like
2004 Fat Bastard Shiraz - a decent shiraz

Whites:
2003 Mirassou Sauvignon Blanc - the bottle looked cool
2006 Pazo Serantellos Albarino - I have no clue why I bought this one

Blush/Rose:
2005 Red Bicyclette French Rose - the bottle caught my eye
2005 Beringer White Merlot - I like it bought it by mistake while visiting my sister

F.Y.I.

I am having a really good chopstick day.

Right vs. Left Brain

Take a look at this and let me know what direction the dancer is turning in.

I see clockwise.

What's your favorite book?

I would answer this but I don't actually read.

Let me know.


Celebrities Love Dr. Suess
http://www.nea.org/readacross/resources/celebooks.html

Ok If I have to:
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein, The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to his White Mother by James McBride and Wizard and Glass by Stephen King

I love reading but I also love sleep. In my world the two do not co-exist.

Too Funny

So I got linked to this picture of Zahara Jolie-Pitt flipping off paparazzi (or her just sucking her thumb). Either way I think the comments were hilarious. Cursing babies at Walmart. That place is full of entertainment.

The Little Girl's Gift

soft demure bra straps showing
misjudged but not surprised
believes in karma and pure luck
knowing destiny is what you make it
askew mind keeping what was taught
joyous laughter consistently real
outbursts of crazy
makes life
disturbed actions
derailed thoughts
from a cute slightly used effigy of she
a down pour of nothingness
floods the room
sitting cross legged in the middle of the floor
waiting to drown in the voices
well-wishes from passersby
thinking it's art
she knows
thoughts made still
what others' words enraged
putting on the slippers
she's got dancin' feet ready to move
be still young mind there's lots of thinking to do
they spoke in hopes that time stood still
ready to fight
she tied a bow in her hair
full of quick wit
holding back a sharp tongue
pretty packages of deception

Well you know how you are listening to a song and the lyrics just fit. It could be a situation or a state of mind. Well I listen to the radio quite often, now. This song has been playing for a while and it really stuck. After a bit of research I found out who it was.

Finger Eleven got it right for me with Paralyzer

I’m not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you’re standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You’ll probably move right through
Me on my way to you

I don't understand

How people can be so opposed to social networking sites. I love them although I can only dedicated my time to 1 and 1/2.

Don't want people to know things about you make them private.

I have learned that I absolutely hate the phone. I talk to my sister and that's it.

So sign up for Facebook cause that's what I use.

I'm back

So I am seeing things in a different light, Not at all in any relation to the other posts. I wrote a poem today. It thought a little effort because all I wanted to do is take out a piece of paper and write. Typing takes something away from my writing but that is because I think much faster than I type. The poem is called The Little Girl's Gift and not quite ready for the world. I have sent it to the most biased person I know (my sister) to read it. We'll see what she has to say. So I was thinking. I should start another blog because I don't blog nearly enough or contribute to nearly enough blogs. I was thinking that this blog would be just for my writing.

Any thoughts??

Sabotage

type in google deskbar- define: sabotage

This is one of the entries.

Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening an enemy, oppressor or employer through subversion, obstruction, disruption, and/or destruction.

This definition most suits my purpose.

New Year's Resolution: Don't sabotage myself.

What this really means. I have labeled myself as the enemy. That's self-loathing if I ever saw it before. If anything pleasant happens to me in the year it was because I was real nice to myself. Who thinks like this. The crazy I guess.

This whole day's worth of posts have been about me sabotaging myself. why hinder my ability to have good happen just to see myself fail.

There are lots of music related Sabotage references. I bet they are just as happy (wait I am not unhappy - just a little annoyed and frustrated) as me today.

Sabotage
Against me
Against loyalty
Against joy
Against wealth
Against well-being
Against hyphenated words

Dear Diary

I think I am losing my mind. I normally can go out and get what I want but when dealing with other humans while trying to be not pushy (something I'm good at - being pushy), considerate of others' feelings (something I am work on) and being true to me (some times too good at and others not good at all) I am having trouble. This issue that I am currently dealing with leaves me feeling overstimulated, like a baby feels when there is too much happening around them. I need to do something and I have options. And I am good a making decisions. I guess its the age old dilemma. Just walk away (an option that is oh so appealing to me right now) or wait it out and see what happens (I am not good at patience - never been a strong point with me and I doubt it ever will be). So what's a girl to do.

If I managed to do things in my overly aggressive way, I can guarantee that it won't be sleek, proper or pretty. It will be more like me trying to cut the dead leaves off a house plant with a hatchet. You know scary and hard to watch.

If I continue to do things as I am I might die. Maybe a little over dramatic but its getting rough.

So diary, I thought getting some of this off my mind I would feel better. Well I am feeling unsatisfied.

Until next time,
ted.

Be More Forward!!!!

I am having a serious issue with myself. Once again I was told to be more forward. I made a bold statement tonight about moving on. Now I can't do it. I'm a pansy.

What are the next steps?

To boldly go, I don't know.

It seems that many of you have given up on the participation portion of the blog. Maybe its because you're busy or you hate me and my blog either way, I'm giving up. Partly. I will still be writing my blog but this will be the last Answer.

A: It was just too dull.
