open mind monologue

Do you ever have the most awe inspiring rush of thoughts within your own mind ...only to sit down to write them all out, and not be able to remember half of what you had thought you would never forget ... Yes, I know write it down the moment it happens~ or talk into the record function of the cell phone .. but I don't .. Hmm Ok heres a funny sequence I was painting ..begrudgingly. I normally love painting, but for some reason today I just did NOT want to...Trim is just mind numbing crap work and when you have to focus when all you want to do is scribble it sucks ...so I was singing a song I made up about how I didn't want to paint .. My cat Jax seemed to like it as he purred contentedly amongst the dry wall dust turning his panda bear fur a dirty white. When out of no where the word pontificate popped into my mind. Now don't ask me why but i went and looked it up to get the full definition. pontificate verb |pänˈtifiˌkāt| [ intrans. ] 1 (in the Roman Catholic Church) officiate as bishop, esp. at Mass. 2 express one's opinions in a way considered annoyingly pompous and dogmatic : he was pontificating about art and history. noun So then I needed to see the full definition for Dogmatic dogmatic |dôgˈmatik| adjective inclined to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true : he gives his opinion without trying to be dogmatic. And I liked making a few choice sentences with each... I m not sharing because they sucked but NONE the less ... the point you ask? there is none it was just curious why that word chose to pop in on word notes one of my favorite s is Cadence cadence |ˈkādns| noun 1 a modulation or inflection of the voice : the measured cadences that he employed in the Senate. • such a modulation in reading aloud as implied by the structure and ordering of words and phrases in written text : the dry cadences of the essay. • a fall in pitch of the voice at the end of a phrase or sentence. • rhythm : the thumping cadence of the engines | try to vary your cadence during a run. 2 Music a sequence of notes or chords comprising the close of a musical phrase : the final cadences of the Prelude. I really love it:) Listening to 'Sola Sistim' by Underworld while working on my ND bunny and Xeyes ..more on those to follow If you want to see some of my photography go to http://www.fotolog.com/eyecandy free samples ;) to the first ten customers...x 100 Happy night as Im fading fast be in light lighten be

My little girl is singing in the background as her and her friend run circles about the coffee table in the living room. I love singing ... I love the rain in moderation... I went for a walk in the rain today ...It actually felt goooood Rain smacking against my skin Silver ribbons of water cascading over the streets gravely gray Birds fluttering poetically through the drops The song in my mind right now 'What You Waiting for' Gwen Stefani the song on my I tunes 'Loco Girl ' Chris Whitley Yesterday I did not get a chance to post an entry... I was painting again ...~laughs~ Grrr yesterday was even more tedious then the previous day The word that popped into my mind out of no where? QUIXOTIC quixotic |kwikˈsätik| adjective exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical : a vast and perhaps quixotic project. Interesting isn't it how these words just show up for no reason ~l~ ... wait I had one for today too what was it .... mmmm I have to talk about my sleeping beauty theory but later, kids need me.. Sewing stuff ...like their socks ...together ~ laughs~ peace out a

Totally...and Im one of these backasswards peeps who of all things LOVES to wait until the 11th hour to bust my butt. Todays deadline is the painting ... I thought I was going to have until NEXT friday, but as it turns out the carpet came in early and my husband agreed to let them install it tomorrow ... F*ccccck Sighs Oh well I'm one of these life gives you lemons, I make a pie... people. With a meringue topping ~grins ~ I need to cook more I miss cooking . I run in phases. Contemplating what you would call the one in in at the moment. Thinks it would be fix it mode. Fixing storm damage from the tree that fell on my house in JULY!!! JULY omannnnnnnn. The feeling is part frustrated and part bored, because I'm NOT living up to my full potential. I have sooooooo MUCH to share , cool ideas, curious questions and amazing feelings all get bottled up when I go conservative on my creative side. ...I miss my ART ! Every time I feel this feeling, thats what it is. I need to paint PAINT ... ok next week Im going to, even if its just finishing a few of my old canvases... That and connect with people who are connected to their creative .. mmmm Nothing like that connection . Speaking of being connected to your truth ... Listing to Chris Whitley 'Mountain Side' wow He's so totally there... Thinks about the fact hes no longer on this side .........envisions the rocker side of the afterlife ~just freaking smiles ~ Music vibration = energy = life =soul= connection to source . . . Thinks of the people who are devoid of music by free choice . . What the fruck ??????????? ~laugh ~ why????? . I guess its the path they need for the moment... I hope that never happens to me ~l~ . Hope may be an understatement. . . . . . I need a word for today and yesterday...dont I? . . . - lets see... - closes my eyes . . . paramount comes to mind liss ~grinning mindliss mindless . . paramount |ˈparəˌmount| adjective more important than anything else; supreme : the interests of the child are of paramount importance. • [ attrib. ] having supreme power : a paramount chief. . . . . . one more song title .

Feet in perfect match to the rhythm ...listening to underworld again as I go for my walk about. pound pound pound my heart joins in mmm breathing that feeling like your just so connected to life everything becomes this swirling mix of electricity WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE slowing my pace as I round the corner ...eyes searching for synchronicity zoom flash Locking on the bare branches of a small apple tree, fire fly glimmerings as the sun she sparkles through illuminating the limbs which are loosely hiding a dozen lil chirping chickadees oh be still my heart as the beauty of it is almost too profound for words each brach chittering, bouncing , alive. Sun rays glisten on to their little fuzzy heads blessing them each with diamond halos mmmm delicious ........

my blogging has been so wacked out these last few days the last three times Ive tried to sit down and write something happens and screws my post up and the other other day i had finished an entire entry only to click the window off while looking for a link i wanted to post ~laughs ~ then grins still grinning whatever right --------- I play this game sometimes where everyone I come into contact with I will smile at and wait to see what the reaction is ... I mean I love smiling anyway, but sometimes I actively try to see what will happen... as in the case of today ... with all the crazy last minute food gathering people I wanted to see what would would ensue. Turns out my game leads to the most beautiful conversation Ive had in a long time. Scenario: Me in the dairy section of Schnucks grocery store A lady walks by with a baby slung over her left shoulder so that the lil cuties face was chin to shoulder peeking back, semi hidden in the locks of moms auburn red hair. "Ooooh!" I say out loud. I cant help but to be taken by such supreme cuteness. Her lil round face and eyes so blue and round watched me as I smiled a smile of just awww to her. Then she smiled one back, that made me smile more, then she laughed, and I laughed, we both smiled once more before they rounded the corner, and were gone. Her mother in a holiday glaze over shopping none the wiser ... so pure. wow so beautiful the way that a smile can do that :) made my whole day :) ... things I want to talk about the fish department at any and all pet stores My idea for a collaborative art project Have the Happiest Thanksgiving :) may whoever reads this be blessed with love and laughter and of course smiles :) Love a
