I regret to inform you two...

...that I will soon be removing a great many posts. As a matter of fact, I think I will be revamping this entire blog. That means all originals, all the time. Get ready yall.

Enjoy The Life You Have!

You're in a positive bubbly mood and you want to spread it around. Sally Naysayer pipes in and tries to shut you down. For every good and wonderful thing you have to say, Sally has something equally negative and disheartening to say. Does this sound familiar to you? It seems the older I get, the harder it is to find happy, positive people with which to surround myself.

Dont get me wrong, Sally isnt a hater. Sally just sees the pitcher as 1/4 empty. There is an abundance of goodness right in front of her face, and yet all she can see is whats missing. I want so badly to help her heal, but she is close minded and obstinate. Alas, here we are. With me feeling like Im being suffocated and Sally approaching everything with negative thoughts and fear mongnerance. Yes, mongnerance = mongering + ignorance.

On the flip side of this conversation, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being vigilant and protecting yourself. But shutting yourself off to the world isnt going to do anything but make you alone. We are supposed to be with other people. The Bible says that it is not good for a man to be alone. I think that man in this context means mankind. That's why God gave Adam a helpmate. We are not meant to live in fear either. Im not saying sleep with the door unlocked or walk around unaware of your surroundings. Im saying recognize the difference between malignance and general curiosity. Everything is not bad. Get out there and see the world! There is so much here for us to enjoy and negative thinking closes us off from it. If we speak things that are not as though they were and they happen... think about it. What you say and believe in your heart determines the kind of life you lead because you make decisions based on those thoughts and feelings.

I am guilty of falling into it from time to time, but luckily, I have wonderful friends that snatch me out of it. They remind me that I can do anything. I believe I can make a mark and live forever through that mark long after my human body has expired. And you can too if you just believe it. That is the first step. And you cant start walking and not go anywhere, feel me? At the end of the day, as long as you have hope for tomorrow - even if it doesnt come, we dont think about that - you can make it whatever it was meant to be. In everything you do, remember those things. You can do anything good that can be done! If you really want to do it, it can be done. Pete Repeat. Anything you want to do can be done! Have I driven it home yet? No? Still want to be:

? Okay, just dont say I didnt try to give you something. If I see anyone making this face, I will hug the living crap out of you. And I might tickle you until you laugh. If you arent ticklish, I will tickle a penguin in front of you until you smile. I will keep going until you smile. That is my mission in life. To bring joy to the masses. I want everyone to know the happiness I feel when I share myself with all two of you. No more fear, crying, sadness, hunger. My greatest desire is to see everyone feeling loved and safe. And happy.

GOOD day.

FML camera/Teaser video

So I finally freaking record a video that sounds decent. Im not biffing chords. Im trying to be quiet but my voice is mostly alright. What happens? Camera goes out halfway through. FML. I will re record tomorrow during a normal recording hour when there is more light and the battery is completely charged. Not the lie of a charge it said it had today. CAMERAS LIE! Sorry, I tend to get a bit emotional about recording crappy videos of me playing Tawny. Isnt she pretty though? I know, Im such a guitar groupie.

Watch below...

I suppose this could qualify as a teaser for tomorrow's video. Yeah. That's it. Teaser.

SN: I have officially given up on video editing software until I can get a program that likes me. That is all.

Also, if you find me moderately interesting, you can find me elsewhere in the following ways:

Facebook
Twitter
YouTube
ReverbNation

Thanks and
Good Day.

Conservatively Dressed Women Can Be Sexy Too!

What is this whole thing with men and their visual nature leading them to choose the raunchiest looking woman at the karaoke bar? I dont pick men up in bars, Im just making the point. I wear glasses most of the time and usually only dress up to go to church or work, but dang. Can a sistah get some play? Why do I have to put all my physical goodness on display? Why cant I be myself and make you do the necessary work to get to know me prior to peeling my wrapper? Can someone explain this?

When I go out and I see a woman dressed like this:

I automagically think she does this:

You know, for money. 

And then I wonder.... what happened to these women as girls to make them think this manner of dress is okay? A number of things come to mind of course: abuse, poor guidance, things of that nature. Like I wonder if anyone is familiar with this:

Yes, those are little girls. When they grow up, how do you think they will dress? If this is okay now, what's acceptable at 15? Of course this is all a matter of opinion, but I dont feel it necessary to have your children out with all their body exposed. I believe that our bodies are sacred temples and while I dont eat like I care about my temple, I am conscious of the fact that it is something to be cared for with great care. Yes, I just made a redundant statement. Its okay, I promise. 

Moving on, I want to drive home to all two of you how attractive covering one's body can be. It makes others imagine. Imagination is what drives the attraction. If you set up in your mind that things will be a certain way, then when you actually get to the MOMENT (you know what Im talking about) you will be so excited that you wont even remember the turtleneck or the tights or the slacks. The fun is in revelation of what is beneath. Get what I mean? 

Examples:

Dont you want to know more about these women? AND they will be responsible and wont embarass you in public by getting too drunk and doing cocaine off some chicks boobs in the bathroom. Just saying. You know, lady in the street. Tina Fey has done a fantastic job of representing intelligence meshed with sexy. 

See the red shoes? Shes probably a tiger in the bedroom. I dont know. She always carries herself professionally in public settings. Not saying that women that dress a certain way dont. Im just saying I would like to have a conversation with her. I will listen to what she has to say because Im not distracted by her body hanging out of her clothes. I think its 90% perception, 10% reception. Feel me? If you look like you know what you're talking about, Im more likely to listen to what you have to say until you say something that makes me think you're either a complete idiot or a brilliant crazy person. Yes, I did listen to what Sarah Palin had to say. Then she was caught without a prepared speech and I began to doubt the validity of a lot of things she had to say. Well that and the way things are turned around and mottled in the media. I think Im done now.

Body parts hanging out is a distraction and if you want to be taken seriously as a person you either have to shout and fight or put your body away. You cant get mad if youre dressed like a prostitute and youre being treated like a prostitute. I suppose that goes both ways. Point made. What  is your take on the matter?

Yeah.
Good Day.

Its an absolutely gorgeous day. What do I plan to do? I guess stuff. I should think about a format for this. There really isnt one. Yet.

Still editing this video because I dont really know how to use my editing software. I need help, but Im searching help topics. Im pretty good at learning programs. I bet if I stopped fiddling with clipping clips and focused on vacuuming, I might do alright. Alright, I have to stop blogging now and get up. Well, maybe after one more sentence. Ive been mulling over writing a song in a round. I havent been able to write in a little while. I need to record my goofy conversations and that will help. I have a ton of snippets saved.

No I used not one stitch of upper punctuation (i.e. the apostrophe). Language Nazis can go scream now.

Good Day.
