Earmarks: Invented Annoyances

Mass media broadcasts. Impossible to avoid. Like the damp, musty air lingering in a clinic waiting room.

I don't like knowing that pages I 'like' or allow access to on facebook are able to post as other pages I follow.


when I wake up and realize Ive settled, I hear a cranky vehicle driving down the street

when I lay in bed and visualize what Ive just slept to, I'm afraid of what machines do to me.  Feeds off me.  craves interaction.

I notice myself in the morning realizing that I'm on a beach hiding from people.  Afraid of being frightened.  Disturbed by how I frighten someone.

heard corn being thrown, feeding the birds.  The sound of a child's voice shrieks and says "Mommy, the birds are back!

Trying to make sense.  Been writing most of my life

Walking on my treadmill.  Remember noticing weeks ago walking on the beach.  With my dogs.  Go talk to a judge a voice says, then an apology.  Familiar face and older distinguished person

Earmarks annoy

How I'm vaguely blended into a greater working of some sort, translated to something else somewhere else.  Generating monetary assets like a dead force

Is there a connection between my computers and has  neglect developed since I unfairly spend time on the shared computer

Suddenly Ive realized a weight associated with connections online and feeds off me, draws on me, instantly accessing me when and where ever.

Tendency towards being overconfident, almost confrontational on my own when it doesn't matter, opposite spectrum with my self preset predetermined people living within a structured society, municipalities.
Making correlations between how I receive something and how its interpreted.

'just because Im supposed to'

What freedom means to me

Walking through my house NOT seeing any bathrooms to clean, dishes to wash, clothes to launder, belongings to donate, paperwork to sort/file/shred
Not seeing dogs needing to be fed, walked or bathed
Not feeling like everything I do is me fixing or carrying around other peoples problems
Not being left with a certain sense of bewilderment
NOT feeling unapproachable
Not having or being annoyed by a demeanor of 'just because I'm supposed to'
Not being responsible for other peoples poor choices
Not having blame directed at me
Not being seen as or compared to people that are tacky
Not always seeking meaning significance or importance in tangible objects
Being inconvenienced by someone who can help
Not knowing the unknown but at the same time knowing and having a healthy timely reaction

Occupied

#HSN has made being a hermit fror the last few days bearable, soaking up as much goodness one can stand.  They might be my new hero.  Move over Capt. Planet!  Indulged further by watching afternoon talk shows.  Agree with a comment made by Anderson Cooper about 'So much pressure goes into having a great time on New Years Eve that its fusterating.'  The Weather Channel featured an article I found interesting-mostly because of the picture....

#HowToOccupy

Aside from being disapointed with a few random tweets, their obnoxious usernames, the lack there of from one @ChuckTodd,  I'm coming up with resolutions to celebrate the 2012 NBA season.  Sunday was the first day of the long awaited arival of the missing component of Americas passtime.  There couldn't be anything more engaging.  Woohoo the ESPN personalityes are on with their inside scoop.    I'm so caught up in the thrill seeking reality of an outspoken fan, shouldering the weight of an unspoken responsibility.  Somewhere the silence is broken for some long awaited spark to ignite a thrill of some sort. Weight of the air is unusual.  The first resolution is not to talk trash about Kobe.  Suppose that shouldn't be so difficult.  As the halftime show begins, I know that i should seize the opportunity to produce something worthy of reading, however, my attention is drawn away (since i wasn't wholeheartedly watching anyway) shortly toward the direction of a kiosk that demands the return of one video ive rented or will charge a penality fee.  Taking a different approach to forming opinions about the game instead of being mediated to about the players and such is my next resolution.  Overall examination of the institution (poor word choice) of professional basketball is sure help me catch on.

Glass Bottles and Gingerbread Houses

 

Have you ever saved those neatly shaped glass bottles of liquor or wine and wondered what to do with them?  Few and far between are my visits to the shelves of a liquor store to find a specific ingredient for a special mixed drink I’ve imagined up or read about in a magazine.  How adorable are the half pint bottles or those mini shooters?  So I've come up with an idea.  Instead of discarding them after their contents have been consumed, save them and follow these steps:

1)  Soak the clear glass bottles in hot water to remove the labels. 

2)  Gather small things like shells, fresh flowers, berries, etc.

3) Partially fill the bottles with the small things then fill with oil

4) Use wine bottle corks to seal the bottle along with pieces of hemp

Deciding not to do a Google search for particular project yet, however, am curious to know exactly what will keep the bottles permanently sealed. Suppose I should just be able to play around with the idea without getting myself worked up over how someone else has constructed similar projects. 

  

 

These are a few images I pulled off the internet related to gingerbread houses.  They look so complex.  Using graham crackers instead of the ginger cookie makes the decorating somewhat faster and I suppose one could mass produce gingerbread houses with that method.  Either way, I think they are adorable. 

Trial and Error

What a morning to remember! Something as simple as allowing myself to wake up and instead of letting the dogs wander in the back yard to do their business, I took them out around the block on their leashes.

when getting dressed goes wrong

Guess who couldn't put together an outfit? 

Atleast I got something right at home this weekend. 

#blackfriday #tout
 In reply to the hashtag 'blackfriday' on my Vlog. 
What is Thanksgiving to you, a Holiday or only about Shopping?
Thinking about the people who are scheduled to work during those hours of insanity, all the planing that goes into scheduling the handful of people that might not have a choice due to a mgmt decision and the upset that might cause. And then there's some disapointment when someone might just want the company of friends and family at home. Going along with what your guests want to do sometimes creates disruption.  I feel for the person who goes the distance to open their home for a gathering like Thanksgiving.  Being a good host is a miracle.  When the guests decide to take their show on the road for the blackfriday shopping, the host might feel resentment toward his or her self or toward the guests.  Pray and be mindful of this when you're someone's guest, even if you've been to their place dozens of times.
