I AM SO SORRY

mood: sad sad
It was a difficult night. My heart aches for the parents and family of the two young lives we were not able to save last night. I'm so sorry. Please know we tried so hard. I am crushed for you.

It was a toss-up between Jensen Ackles, Robert Pattinson and Bradley James. All three are hot and gorgeous but only one says he has an special connection with animals, and that's Robert Pattinson. BUT WAIT!. Why not go with Cesar Millan, now there's someone who has a special talent with animals, well dogs anyway. Thinking.........thinking.....No, Robert Pattinson wins, ummm No, Jensen Ackles, ummm. No, Bradley James, ummmm, Oh take them all.

Writer's Block: No regrets

mood: contemplative contemplative

If you could eliminate one emotion (anxiety, sadness, jealousy, regret, etc.), would you do it? Why or why not? If so, which one would you choose?

I would choose to eliminate Greed. Buddhists believe that the cause of all suffering is greed (desire and craving). Buddhists say, Ignorance is manifested in greed that fills the human mind. Greed, being something that causes desire and craving, is a cause of human suffering. It is our want for something that we can not obtain that makes us suffer.
With the exception of natural disasters and children, all suffering in the world today has it birth in greed. Think of any form of suffering and you can trace it directly back to greed.

So, yo answer the question, if I were not a practising Buddhist, I would say eliminate greed.

Writer's Block: Paint the town green

mood: mischievous mischievous

Do you plan on celebrating St. Patrick's Day? If so, how? What memories and feelings do you associate with this holiday?

Well no, I'm not Irish and as I know little of the concept of St Patricks Day I would be a bit of a hypocrite to celebrate it. I do hope though that all that the people in Ireland and those in other countries that are from Irish decent, have a wonderful and safe celebration and that they each do a compassionate deed for someone.

Writer's Block: Brush with stardom

mood: hot hot

Have you ever stumbled across a celebrity in your daily life? Was it more or less exciting than you would have expected? Do you have any interest in meeting media stars?

Celebrities umm, I have met a few but I'm not particularly star struck so it was like talking to an ordinary person.

I will admit to being rather taken with three very hot, young actors, Robert Pattinson, Jensen Ackles and Bradley James.

So what's that all about for someone who is usually very focused and calm. Look let's face it, those three guys are exceedingly hot. They ooze sex appeal and sensuality and would have that affect on women irrespective of being celebrities or not.

One thing about celebrities, when you meet them they rarely live up to their on screen characters.

So with that thought in mind, do I have any interest in meeting the three young hotties. Hell yes - but for research only you understand. Nothing wrong with fantasies is there.

Writer's Block: Out of fashion

mood: amused amused

If you could choose which fashions would go out of style permanently, what would you choose, and why?

If you could choose which fashions would go out of style permanently, what would you choose, and why?

Easy answer. The sheeply fashion of "following fashions".

Today for men we have the "five day growth" . A fashion for men that is copied by so many that it's getting hard to tell them apart. Not cool Guys.

On the opposite end of the spectrum we have the shaved head look. It might have looked OK on Yule Brenner but come on Guys,

We also have Guys wearing their 4 sizes too big super lowrider jeans, belted loosely under their bum and the pants crotch at the knees. How hot is that?!? Ugh! It is the funniest thing I've ever seen. You gotta laugh.

Hey give me neat, tight, but not strangling, blue jeans/black pants riding low on the hip, and a cool belt and I'm there in a heartbeat. Sexy Oh yeah.

In regards to clothes fashion, I wear what's appropriate according to the event/place/weather. Something I'm comfortable in and something I feel is flattering.

Being a fashion follower is to deny your own style, your individuality, your sense of self. If there is a fashion you like, go for it but not because it’s “the fashion”. Be kind to yourself.

Writer's Block: Another sleepless night

mood: peaceful peaceful
I once experienced many periods of being unable to fall asleep easily, waking up a lot; and periods where my mind just would not be quiet. When I began to search for a calm and more peaceful way of living my life I found many things in my life improved.

The National Mental Health/Substance Abuse Provider studied the statistical relationship between insomnia and practitioners of Buddhism.

Amazingly, individuals which are committed to the Dharma practice have some of the lowest occurrences of insomnia. Of course, there has always been a correlation between spirituality and restful sleep. Conversely, non-spiritual people have the tendency to suffer from insomnia more than spiritual people.

It is important to realize that Buddhism is NOT a religion. It is a way of life, a way of living life on life’s terms.
I recommend a book titled BUDDHISM WITHOUT BELIEFS. It’s a great starting place.

The game of life.

mood: content content
The game of life is the game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.

Writer's Block: Kids or child-free?

mood: happy happy

Whether you've chosen to have children or live child-free, how and when did you (or will you) reach this decision? If you're in a relationship, did you (or will you) decide separately or together?

I'm not sure that being a Mum or getting married are priorities for me, at least in the short-term. I have years of study to go, I also work, and while I date, I'm not looking for a permanent relationship. I'm far too committed to my career right now so it's highly unlikely that in the next 10 - 15 years I'll even be in a position to seriously consider if I have the time needed to devote to a committed relationship, let alone having children.

Even if that happened, over half of marriages today fail, so a child has less than 50% of a chance of being raised by two parents in a happy loving home. I believe very strongly that a single parent family is intrinsically flawed and not conducive to raising happy, well adjusted, self disciplined children.

I don't mean to upset Single Mums or Dad's, whether they be single by choice or by situation. Single parenting is a very difficult role to take on and I admire them for their tenacity but the evidence is out there to see. These kids, more often than not are going to have relationship and other issues as they get older. That's not to say that they all have issues, some children are resilient enough to come through unscathed but not often enough to take a chance on it.

Additionally, a few decades ago childhood was an innocent, beautiful, free time but it isn't any more. We live in a world of uncertainty, a dangerous world and I can't see that situation getting any better. I don't want to subject a child to that experience.

If, at a later date I was in a position conducive to raising children I would most prefer to foster children who have experienced abuse or neglect. They need us to have a chance at happiness.

Writer's Block: Lucky pants

mood: amused amused

Do you have a lucky or unlucky piece of clothing? If you have a lucky garment, when do you wear it and what sort of luck has it brought you? If you have an unlucky piece of clothing, why do you keep it? Do you ever wear it just to see what happens?
