Feeling Happy

today i had a horrible achy feeling that made me extremely restless. i was like, clean the house or get the hell out of here?

getting the hell out was my only option for sanity

so i yelled up to my daughter, LINA! GET DOWN HERE NOW! she cautiously came to the top step of the stairs and was like, am i in trouble??? i was like NO ! just get down here now!

so down she comes i say to her, "lets go we're going to the shore" and the biggest smile came across her face... she was like, "who's going?" i said, "just you and me you and me" and her already big smile widened even bigger... we just took off and i felt my anger lessen and my restlessness ease the further and further i got away from the city... an hour away we could smell the beach! heather rolled down the window and all but stuck her head out the window breathing the sea air in deeply and sighing, "now THATS MORE LIKE IT! SMELL THAT SHORE AIR MOM?"  i smiled, yes i did smell it. it had a beachy, fresh, sandy/salty smell to it...thats the closest i can come to describing it. It took us roughly an hour and 40 mins to get there...since we left when most people were already coming home, driving was smooth sailing...just like i like it! we didnt get on the road til 3:30, but i figured we had a good 5-6 hrs of sunshine left to the day so why not go? we parked the car right by the beach, it cost us $7. we walked right under the boardwalk and onto the beach...i swear it felt like forever to get to the ocean...prob a half mile or so, then again maybe not -- maybe it just felt like it... But at last, the ocean stood out before us...nothing but sea and sand and bright blue horizon ... cool breeze and cool water...we just rolled up our jeans and waded and collected shells and rocks...stood still holding hands letting the tide come in and go out til we felt the sand underneath our feet falling away...laughing and feeling the sand getting in every crevice of our feet and toes...

i layed down in the sand amidst protests from my daughter who claimed i would wind up one big sandy mess, but i didnt care, i just layed there and looked up at the brightest blue sky and clouds floating by and i felt myself loosen up and relaxing...

after the beach episode we walked back up to the boardwalk and ate a dinner of mozzarella sticks and muscles in marinara and chatted. then we walked the boards...i bought heather a t-shirt and she picked out the presson that said "I am not a Princess, my needs are more like a Queen" !!!!! i was lmfao!!!!

on the ride back lina fell asleep next to me with seat slightly reclined, when we hit into heavy bridge traffic i had her sit back up and wake up

we had a great day trip! i thought of my friends mort and cubby over there in AC! and i thought i hope they are enjoying this day

Feeling Mischievous
Hearing Wicked Games by HIM

When I heard Paris got OUT of jail due to ..... was it nervous breakdown or a bad case of VD? (will rumors never cease?) i was PISSED! i thought, what a crock of shit!

Then just envisioning her being dragged out of court crying out, MAMA MAMA ITS NOT RIGHT! ITS NOT RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! MAMMMMMMMMMMMMA!!! umm, well this scene replayed in my head on friday and was the ONLY thing that made me laugh.

Let's see a pic that also made me smile:

 

 

eh, Paris,she is the evil one. she basically told the last judge to go fuck himself by violating her parole like any other self indulged criminal. why should she get "house" arrest?? better yet, can I III get house arrest in HER house? lmfao its a fucking mansion for gods sake how is that arrrest?
she deserves to be away from her family and contacts for a few weeks to think about the DANGER she put other people in. for god's sake, the reason people hate her at this point is: she's RICH enough to get someone to CART her ass around in a goddamned LIMO and she drunk drives???? there's NO excuse.
yet the common everyday people who do that will also get caught and THEY unlike HER will do their time in the GENERAL population, go thru BREAKDOWNS and not get a damn bit of help or concern or "house arrest"


in addition, i dont live in the state she lives in. all correctional facilites are STATE run (unless a federal prison)....and i really dont give a rats ass about california anyway or its overpriced real estate and its bratty rick folk. in fact, i feel bad for the boyz in the hood. they get to live a suck ass life and GEEZE they actually have to PAY for their crimes.


enough said.

Feeling Mischievous
Hearing heater humming a tune, with rythym & all...

ok so i took the bus. yeah yeah yeah, sometimes it happens that i take the bus instead of my car. i try to distract myself from the fact that im on the bus by thinking. some thoughts i just cannot stop from happening though, and those are the thoughts of observation of the other riders.

Now, in past entries of the Septa Chronicles, i have let's see, complimented an older woman on her fabulous hair; a young man on his soft beautiful hands.... (people laugh their asses off at that but i did tell him) ....ummm, i've almost complimented an old man on his fedora (hat) but held back for fear he wouldnt hear me, lol.  Sometimes, the urge to comment, is sooo strong i cannot stop myself. lol But since its been a long while since i've ridden the bus, im just getting back into the swing of things.

I sort of like it when I am compelled to say something nice.

It's when I'm compelled to say something nasty that upsets me and starts feeling like a splinter under my fingernail.

For example, earlier this week, on the bus, a young woman walked onto the bus, and i found her curious. Her get up i mean. She had on a putrid plaid skirt of like spicy mustard and strange blue and black ugh, it was fugly! on her legs she had heather gray thick leggings? longjohns? tights? who knows, lower down, black socks. as for her upper, she had on a strange fuscia knit hat, and a brown plaid long wool coat (wasnt too bad) ... i think her saving grace was that she actually had some cool sneakers on...they were like a marroon stylish suadey type .... butttt i wanted to say, look here, u shoulda worn tall brown boots with that outfit and you woulda looked sharp, but i dunno. someone said that you can mix neutrals together, and she took it to the limit....and beyond. furthermore, her HAIRRRR was attrocious. she had it unneatly braided, and the end, you know, that sticks out at the bottom of the braid looked like a child's scribble scrabble... all fuzzy and wild and long and straggley...omg, this was the point on which the splinter under my fingernail was stabbing me to say, "why dont we just snip off that attrocity?" and whip out a pair of scizzors. !!!

let me tell u, its a good thing i travel light these days.

********* as for today, its gonna be one of the coldest around

do i want to drive? hell yeah,but the squall (blizzard) or whathaveu, is starting tonite and do i want to drive thru the "whiteout"???? lol im being extreme, its probably going to be nothing, but then again??? i dont like to drive in snowy conditions, but waiting for the bus in 13 degree wind chills is not on my list of shit to do today. so the Septa Chronicles must wait for a milder day.....

and now off to get ready...

Feeling Quiet
Hearing hum of the heater

this is an elaboration of a comment i left for mary (of frank and mary) just cause it got me thinking, god help us right? lol

i think there is some god, but i dont think he's our "fixer" and i dont think he turns lives around....... i mean think about this...if just "talking" about god turns people from "evil" how about all the people that ARE talked into doing evil in the name of "god"..... yeah, gods NAME turns people's lives around alright...but not always for the good.

as for why doesnt god help us in our time of need? why do good people suffer and die young while other seemingly evil/worthless people thrive and prosper? these things are just life. call it the luck of the draw, call it bad decisions made, call it bad timing, but dont call it god's fault that he doesnt intervene and do a miracle! if there even IS a god, then that means we are here for a purpose, it may be to prove our worthiness, but i doubt it. i think we're here to live and learn and struggle, not to have an easy time of it. most people arent living easy. most make it look easy, but everyone struggles with something.

now as far as "god turning our lives around" listen, god is not going to PERSONALLY do that. its all inside of us to make the right decisions..some call it conscience, some call it the "light of christ". but really, if just truly believing in something we perceive to be pure and omniscient makes us humble honest caring individuals who live with principles, its just THAT-- that we believe...
the concept of god is all in our heads. im not saying he/she isnt real, but our perception of god is what makes the difference in each of our lives....
xoxoox

my friend cherie did this tag, and its called, two choices, i thought it was perfect:

Feeling Frustrated
Hearing sad new Christina Aguilera song

many of you dont know this, or maybe i never mentioned it, but when i was dating the creetin from summer, i picked up a bad old habit of mine...smoking. after we split up, the bad habit continued, up to a pack a day. i've even let my special bunny sue, lina ... have to breathe/smell it.

i know, shame on me. so since what, at least since july i've been smoking heavily again. i have a horrible head/chest cold that feels like i cant stop coughing...

i really wanted to quit, so i just did. yesterday on nye day, i only had 2 cigarettes left so i smoked them around noon and then that was the last two! i didnt buy any more yesterday and i didnt today. the one party i went to people were smoking and i left the smokers and went back inside where it was smoke free...i had my sister's party to also go to, so i left them with my sausage dip, which they raved about and their guests gobbled it down, that dip that couldnt be WORSE for ur figure or heart for that matter, but people tend to love it. lol

so i left there, and went over to my sister's house, that was the family party. i had brought sausage dip there as well and also i had heated up one of those spiral cut honey glazed hams!!!! i wrapped it up good and had my daughter take it over while i got in the shower, lol. im always running late on things it seems.

back to the nicotine, im not obsessed, i swear im not, lol

ummm, im drinking coffee now and i usually have 4 cigarrettes with my morning coffee. not no mo! im DONE with it. besides, NOW all my friends/etc are non smokers, so why keep a habit that i cant enjoy with others? i think i'll take up drinking wine more often. and beer. those in moderation should be a hella lot better for my health than those cancer sticks.

ok, let me think about something else, like taking the soup over to my dad's house, he's hungry, lol.

lina is still sleeping and its 1am!!!! weird forher, she wont want to fall asleep tonite and she has school tomorrow, i'd better go get ur butt up!

Feeling Surprised
Yesterday, our "biggest" or should i say our most "formal" newspaper in Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Inquirer, had this headline "hey Saddam, say hi to Hitler" .... i didnt see it myself, just heard about it on the radio. damn i wish i had seen that ... i would've clipped it out... the most horrific of his crimes, in my opinion, was the genocide he committed against the Kurds, using chemical weapons to kill them in a most inhumane way!!!!why he was not tried for that and hung 10 years ago is inexcusable! we did nothing to put him out of power then, only when he invaded Kuwait and tried to take over the oil fields did big ole bush sr take action! he was a horrible sadistic dictator that should've been put out of power wayyyyyyyyy long ago...the fact that its NOW, and not THEN strikes me as odd...it was ok for him to kill off people with "weapons of mass destruction" (some 5 thousand kurds were found rotting from chemical warfare) but it was only until the US was attacked, (and NOT by him mind u...) that he was taken out of power. hmmmm i find this ridiculous. i mean, good riddance to bad rubbage, im glad he's been executed, as i have said before, i am a big advocate of ousting the leader, bringing them to trial and/or assassination if the other routes are not feasible...but this should have been done decades ago. then there would've been no Gulf War, and countless other people would've had their lives spared. i just dont get our policies. it seems like we used the war on terror as an excuse to oust him and have him tried....i guess the means to the end are justified, i just wish he had been eradicated longggggggg ago. but like i said before, if u crush the helpless, no one cares, until it comes to crush US then we act. its a scary policy the USA has opted to take...if the japanese hadnt bombed Pearl Harbor, would we have given a shit about the Holocaust that was going on? fuck no. thats just so wrong. i do believe in protecting our own interests, and in staying out of other nations politics, but NOT when it comes to genocide and ruthless dictators killing people at will...while we turn our heads. shame on us! but thank god the iraqi, kurds, and americans murdered by this maniac hussein, have been given their justice in his hanging. may he not rest in peace, and may he not say hi to Hitler, after all, who wants THOSE two joining forces in the next merry go round of life?

Feeling Happy
Hearing nada

My daughter was doing some xmas shopping last weekend with her grandmom (on her dad's side)...and she bought me a present, and wrapped it, but then made me open it. It was a framed quotation.

It says this:

God made a Wonderful Mother,

a mother who never grows old.

He made her smile of the sunshine.

He molded her heart of pure gold.

In her eyes he placed bright shining stars.

In her cheeks, fair roses you see.

God made a wonderful mother,

and He gave that Dear Mother

to me.

___________________________

isnt that just the sweetest thing? now i wished i had opened it on xmas day, lol

Today Lina and I watched, "Akeelah and the Bee" and it was SUCH a great film. Very inspirational. In the movie, Akeelah is being coached to win a spelling bee, and her teacher has a quote framed on his wall, an excerpt from a book actually. Akeelah takes inspiration from it. Lina and I took much inspiration from it. I hope it inspires you all too.

Our Greatest Fear
Marianne Williamson
from her book 'A return to love'

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light , not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of god. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make and manifest the glory of god that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
