I Made This . . .
. . . with a hammer.
(Sorry, ML, couldn't resist ). : D
I've been tagged! LIKES and DISLIKES
Okay, I was tagged by the wonderful MajorLight --- the "Tag Stalker : D --- to list 4 things I like and dislike.
And in keeping with the rules of the game, I will talk 4 people to do the same:
1. Principessa Michelangelo (Shel)
4. Richartpix's photostream (Richard)
You 4 better play along, or I'm adding a special MALE MYSTIQUE
I Like . . .
1. To write . . . and write . . . and write . . . and write. It is the single one thing that can not only totally relax me and take away from all the crap we all have to put up with at times, but it is something that truly makes me high. I can start writing at any given moment, and when I "wake up" and come down, I find that hours have gone by totally unnoticed and I always feel a sense of elation. At times it becomes obsessive, clinically speaking, almost to the point where I sometimes consider seeking professional help. But that's okay, I could write about that, too.
Amazing, with all the stuff I've written --- and I have tons of stuff archived away --- I don't have a damn thing published, except for a short piece in some off-the-wall literary magazine, which was the one and only time I've ever tried to have anything published. So, I'm one-for-one. Some day I'll attempt to publish something. But, to be honest, I really don't care. It's the writing itself and the sharing of it with a select few that gets me off. (Jan is my favorite fan. She loves my stuff. But then, she has to).
2. To make people smile and laugh, and to even drive them a bit crazy. The way I got it figured, if you ain't smiling or laughing, you ain't living. And if you ain't a little bit crazy then you ain't having any fun.
3. To make people feel good about themselves. People need that, always. People used to come to me for advice, especially when they were bummed about something, even when I was a teenager, and after spending some time with them and having them walk away feeling good, I realized how good it made me feel as well. Since having kids, however, I don't really give out advice anymore. Rather, I just hand out money and food. That seems to work much better than anything I could possible say. Just ask any of our kids.
4. To sit out in the backyard on a sunny, warm day and dream about the time (soon), gazing away at the blue sky and thinking about everything and nothing, when all I will ever have to do for the rest of my life is read, write, sit around gazing at the blue sky and thinking about everything and nothing, and hanging out up and down the coast with Jan doing nothing more than taking it all in, and of course taking photos to show all my friends, and most certainly my Flickr Family, just how good I am at . . . gazing away at the blue sky and thinking abut everything and nothing . . .
I Dislike . . .
1. People who blame others for whatever ails them as well as for all the problems in the world. Quit whining, look in the mirror and take control over your own life and do what's necessary, and what's right. You will become happier and a much better person, and the rest of the world will become better as a result.
2. Television sports announcers, a group of people who are, in my opinion, a total waste of skin. I mean, what's the freaking point? I'm watching the freaking game, too, you idiots, I don't need you to tell me what I can see for myself followed by your re-hashing it all over and over and over again, and telling me "If he had done this, or if he had done that, then this might have happened, or that might not have happened." No shit! And if a pink elephant flew over the stadium and dumped on the television announcers in the freaking announcer's booth, none of us would have to freaking hear it anymore! BLAH-BLAH-BLAH! God almighty --- shut the hell up!
(I REALLY don't like television sports announcers. Really).
3. A person who has absolutely no concept of the fact that he or she is NOT the only person on the planet. Save some for somebody else, &$%hole!
4. All CEOs (which is actually an extension of #3).
Okay, that's about it, for now anyway. : D
PEACE AND LAUGHTER!
