To the firefighter...why I'm a big dork!

Alright, this message is to the super cool fireman who comes in and keeps me company at my job. You know who you are : )
So I'm boppin' my head to "Talk Dirty to Me" by Poison; #1 reason I'm a dork, I love love love 80's hair band music. Next reason: using phrases like "super cool", "sweet" and "right on". Another reason: I know more about football than the average guy, seriously, you've heard me. This blog page qualifies as dorky too I think. Watching "Iron Chef" on the Food Channel when get home at night @ 1am. I think working at Disney World qualified as somewhat dorky, especially since I mention it in regular conversation so much. My friends give me hard time and say I start 90% of my sentences....(oh my gosh, I love L.A. Guns, again on the DMX)...with "When I used to work at Disney....". So, I think that's enough to legitimately qualify me as one of the dorkiest girls you might know. Happy 30th Birthday!!! (See, I told you you're going to be in my blog at some point).

Gale Harold, I love you!!

Wow, it's been so long since I watched an episode of "Queer as Folk" (I don't get Showtime so I have to wait for the Netflix) that I forgot how gorgeous Gale Harold was. He is the epitome of the saying, "All the good ones are taken or gay". It's unfortunate that he hasn't done anything else of note except for this show. It's also a shame that he doesn't look this good in person, i.e. unshaved and not dressed to the nines. But, you're still gorgeous, Brian, I mean, Gale :) There's a lot of girls who love ya! Too bad you're gay!!

Jim Morrison, Chris Farley and Robert Downey Jr.

One of my favorite things to do is ask people who would be three famous people, dead or alive, to party with. I mean really party! I'm talking wee hours of the morning with a lot of party favors. My three people would be Jim Morrison, Chris Farley and Robert Downey Jr.. I think it would be so cool just to meet Jim Morrison let alone be able to sit, talk and party with him. Chris Farley would be so hilarious, I can't even imagine!! Definitely, the center of attention! And I love Robert Downey Jr. He's a brilliant actor, beautiful and...well, beautiful.

To have a guy like Harry...and oranges!

Laying in bed this morning sipping coffee, I watched one of my favorite movies on AMC: "When Harry Met Sally". This movie is fundamental to how men and women interact and what needs to happen to prevent divorce: be sure the one you marry is your best friend! Marriages today have over a 50% failure rate because of many things. One of these things is lack of things in common. Another is lack of acceptance and patience. I know that with my best guy friends, I accept them for who they are and don't try to change them because that's why I like them. Everyone is unique in their own way and to truly love someone, you must accept them. If you like oranges but go to the grocery store and all they have are apples, you don't buy an apple and try to change it into an orange once you get home. You just wait until the grocery store gets oranges back in stock. If you change your mind while at the store and decide apples are what you want, commit to your decision and don't covet the orange or just settle for the apple. We are who we are and if we can't accept that for truth, we'll never be able to accept anyone else.

Clear Vision

As sit in front of the computer trying to adjust to my new glasses, I am reminded just how important clear vision is. I have what the optometrist calls astigmatism, which is vision that isn't as sharp as it could be. Clear vision is crucial in life. Different things can muddy up vision. Alcohol and drugs are a couple of these things. It's amazing to me that when you clear your mind from at least these things how clear your life path becomes. It feels like someone turned on the lights and now you can see all the crap that has been lying on your floor that you can now vacuum and tidy up. Your life may have become a mess and you'd never know without giving up your pride and opening up your eyes and putting on the glasses of sobriety. Some of us can only guess how our life is and don't want to know. Others have put the glasses on, couldn't stand the squalor and put took them right back off, quick. I don't try to pretend to understand where my life is going or comprehend why I've gone through the things I have but I know that facing life head on with clear vision and without blinders on is the only way to gain strength and grow.
