These are my words, welcome to my blog! Things that amaze and/or concern me are here.
Before it rots yes. Pick ’em while their ripe or almost ripe. One project at a time babe. Tell me this isn’t insanely smart and right and fucking ingenious in truth?!?! Some days I have to prioritize my low hanging fruit. Get it?
Don’t like me? FUCK off why do you come around here? Shooooo go away shooooo. We’re caring and feeding our inner monster here. You need to get lost. If others if you stay, thanks. This wisdom is not your reward. Being close to me is. You do get a thanks from me energetically though. Automatic, every time you think of me or something here. How was yer day?
Too bad I never knew this until age 55, the shit I could have done with my body and my large brain when I was 8′, 38, 48 … Well every day is a new start innit’? I’ll read this when I’m 58 in 2 and a half years and be proud of myself for seeing it EARLY IN LIFE, have you got it yet? Age is relative to the room. Free advice babe. ❤️
Don’t be digging Them Bones by the light of the quarter moon it’s a total waste of time and it’s digging a grave too soon.
I’ll never forget who was selfish and who supported me, without questioning my integrity. Those angels JUST GAVE. Period, end of report May they feel in their body a long karmic vibration of reward for that.
My guardian angel just told me this and it shreds. Maybe it’ll help you too although I doubt it cuz you’re a guardian angel didn’t say it mine did. Hey Dame instead of digging Them Bones by the quarter moon trying to figure out why you don’t have more friends. Don’t you know that’s for a reason. Don’t you know that you’re worth a lot more than most. Don’t you know that the wrong people can destroy you. I have only this to say to you my lovely blonde headed child friend. Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself for when the damn breaks you’re going to have so many friends you’re not even going to know how to deal with it and you’re going to choose to have none, again. Unless, you prepare. How do you prepare through practicing the feeling of already having it.
Dream 😅 Dream of me. Sometimes I wonder was she hot when she first started getting serious in guitar classes or did she get hot while she was passing through the learning years and doesn’t even think about it as a bonus now. I saw those legs move toward me, I swear it. Magically talented Tinkerbell-like young lady there.
If I choose it as such, today is my last day of bus life. Since I was in a life threatening head on collision mid July, I’ve been relying on the VVTA buses to migrate daily to work. Through generous donors, mostly my dad and family but a few dear friends gave hundreds and it helped me deal with all the shit a lot better. Thank you, y’all are my angels. My guardian angel will be flying us all to Bali Beach, Indonesia, and that right soon. I miss them night bird cries.
I value very much that I am able to gain what I call “book mastery” over a novel or other genre or category of book. This is the ability to read and comprehend a story or a concept of self improvement, psychology, or whatever the type of book I’m reading is.
My musical singer-songwriter-genre EP masterpiece titled Manzana is now available everywhere incl. on Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Spotify.
I’m able to gain mastery over what the author is trying to tell me. This partially came about as a result of getting my college education. But way before that I think it probably age five or six I began to read Dr Seuss for example at an early age and get the meaning behind what he’s trying to tell me as the reader. Book mastery is just part of an “any item I choose, albeit artistic entertaining or helpful, mastering textual stuff is my most valued superpower, if you will. There are many faces to my trust in my proven superpower of things, anytime and always. I’m proud of that virtue and skill I possess.

When I get a new semester class as a professor I get to a place of mastery over their names. It takes me probably longer than most people, especially, and I mean this in no demeaning way toward the goddesses called “women,” am definitely not a chauvinist, I put their sex on the higher pedestal than my own, But mostly I find women are quicker than men to develop that mastery of names as teachers. For me it never comes easy but I do have the ability to do it and I guess I’m thinking of it today as valuable because I finally know the names of all my students I have roughly 160 students.

So gaining book mastery is probably the thing that I’m most thankful for about myself. For my entertainment and improvement, I can create a movie of a book in my head that is far more powerful, moody and enjoyable and has far more depth than watching a director’s rendition of the same book. As you probably heard people say a hundred times I saw the movie, the book was better. I talk on this a lot at my podcast. Please have a listen! Subscribe to hear the latest, first
Every time I walk by the library at the college where I work and I see books that are discarded, abandoned/submitted on a shelf or they’re on a cart and they say “free books,” I always make sure and pilfer through that shelf for would-be treasures for my mom n. I’m most thankful for the fact that I am still at 55 years old able to get into text and get book mastery at will.
