I really do have to post something new here. I'm just so unfaithful to this sort of thing. I have a hard enought time concentrating on living life, nevermind recording it. Doh! :) I will soon write some original thought. Stay tuned, 2007 will not dissapoint. I will, hopefully, Lord willing, be boarding the Disney Cruise Line to work as a youth councellor and I plan on blogging my experience, fully! As well, I will continue into the next chapters of my life, which may look a lot like an empty wallet, bank account, ah...let me see, living on K.D and ketchup, haha yes I may be a student again. NO DORM this time around.
Anyhow, hoping you are all doing well, and praying you are all blessed this year, whatever your endeavours may be.
"Peace and grace be your guideposts, and love be your anchor!" S.K.E.

Why not date a Geek??
In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys.
1.) While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are... plus, I’ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.
2.) They’re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.
3.) They’re more romantic than they’re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such... but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.
4.) Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.
5.) They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?
6.) Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more options”. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.
7.) Sex. Yep. Sex. I’m not really familiar with this myself, but I’ve friends who’ve been intimate with geek guys and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra... all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.
8.) They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?
9.) Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won’t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his “groove” on with club hotties because, frankly, he’ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won’t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he’ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I’ve seen this happen.
Me: “Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models... They’re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!”
Geek Guy: “ooooooo...”
Me: “Hey!” *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
Geek Guy: “What?”
Me: “Never mind...”
10.) Although he may not want to go to every outing with you, you can arrange swaps, as in, you’ll go to his Gamer Con dressed as an elf princess if he’ll take you to the ballet. Plus, if he doesn’t want to go someplace with you, you won’t have to worry much about what he’s up to. You’ll probably come home to find him asleep on his keyboard in a sea of Mt. Dew cans with code blinking from the screen. It’s ok. He’s used to this. Just toss a blanket over him and turn out the light.
11.) His friends aren’t jerks. I can’t stress this enough. You’ll more likely get “Omg! A GIRL!! Can I see?!” than “Hey hot stuff back that ass up here and let me get some grub on...” They’re awkward geeks too and will, 9 times out of 10, treat you with the utmost respect and, more than likely, a note of awe. A cute girl picked one of their clan to date? It could happen to them! Hope! Drag some of your single girlfriends over, open up a pack of Mt. Dew, crack open the DnD set and get working. Nothing impresses geek guys more than a girl who can hack-n-slash (well ok maybe if she can code... a geek can dream).
12.) They’re rarely if ever possessive. They trust you, so you can be yourself around them. You like to walk around the house in a ratty t-shirt for comfort? He won’t care. He does too! They won’t get pissy if you don’t wear make-up or don’t want to bother primping your hair. If you gain a few pounds, they won’t try their best to make you feel like crap.
13.) They’re usually very well educated. Physics majors and the like. See #5. You won’t have to listen to him blathering on about his car (ok maybe a little), he’ll have loads of other interesting things to talk about. Politics, world events, how much the chicken burgers down at the local place rock, so long as you douse them in hot sauce...
14.) You’ll almost never have to hear, “Yaw dawg whazzap!!” plop out of their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get “wasted”, so you won’t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...
15.) And the final reason why geeks and nerds make great boyfriends: They actually give a damn about you. Not how you look (though that’s a plus), not how skinny you are, not how much make-up you primp yourself up with, but they like you for you. That kind of thing lasts longer than “DaMN baby you got a fine ass!!!” Believe me.

When you become a mother, you'll find some of the weirdest things will escape your lips. (And no, I don't mean your teeth...) You may actually find yourself uttering the following phrases:10. Don't run through the kitchen with underwear on your head!
9. If you hit your sister with that plastic fish one more time (insert threat here)!
8. Turn that vacuum cleaner off and stop chasing the dog!
7. No, I do not want to know what it sounds like to flush a banana!
6. What do you mean, you swallowed the robot? WHAT robot?
5. It is not nice to put food on strangers. (aside: "Sorry, sir!")
4. It is not nice to hit! Do you want me to spank you? (WHAT was I thinking???)
3. Don't write on your brother! I don't care if he asked you to!
2. Honey, you know momma doesn't like dead things in her bathtub.
1. Stop shaking your sister! Uncle Terry was playing a joke on you, there's no money in her ears.

Purely and Simply Me!
Animated, and on the phone...I've always thought I should be a cartoon character! Cartoons get to have all the fun without the pain; and everything seems to works out in the end. For Eg. Wile Kyote & Road Runner, The Animaniacks, GIJoe, Thundercats, Shera & He-man, Larry & Bob (veggie tales). But then I wake up and realize that I don't have so bad. I'm just glad I'm ME and not any of you...lol God only gave me so much patients and understanding. Think about that one for a couple minutes and you'll understand what I mean without taking it personal! :)

Metaphysical fire...
I found this on Sarh Slean's website. I recently went to a concert of hers which was amazing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Some fuel for your metaphysical fire. Shine bright fellow soldiers.
Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
-Marianne Williamson (quoted by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 Inaugural Speech)
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop and look fear in the face. You must do that which you think you cannot do.- Eleanor Roosevelt
"The more I learn of physics,. . . the more I'm drawn to metaphysics."-- Albert Einstein
"I decided early to give my life to something eternal and absolute. Not to these little gods that are here today and gone tomorrow, but to God who is the same yesterday, today,. . . and forever."-- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

ANGELS...
Every day, in the world around us,
Real-life angels are doing the things they do
And bringing more smiles to the world around them.
Real-life angels build bridges instead of walls.
They don't play hide-and-seek with the truth
And they don't have hidden agendas.
They're often the only ones who know what you're going through.
If they sense that you're hurting,
They do whatever they can to help you.
Real-life angels understand difficulties
And always give the benefit of the doubt.
They don't hold others up to standards
They can't live by themselves.
Real-life angels are what "inner beauty" is all about.
Real-life angels don't hold things against you.
The only thing they hold is you.
They take your hand in theirs when you could use a little reassurance.
They walk beside you when you could do with
A little guidance and direction in your life.
And they support you in your attempts to do what is right.
Real-life angels multiply your smiles and add to your integrity.
They make you feel like, "Hey, I am really somebody who matters."
Then they quietly prove to you how beautiful
And true that feeling really is.
If you come across an angel like this,
You are one of the luckiest people of all.
If someone in your life is wonderfully like an angel to you,
It's important to let them know.
It's the nicest compliment you could ever give
In all the days of your life and
In all the years that you live.

THE PIANO MAN
When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out "Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star." At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit.""Keep playing." Then, leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child, and he added a running obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice transformed what could have been a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was so mesmerized that they couldn't recall what else the great master played. Only the classic," Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." Perhaps that's the way it is with God. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't always graceful flowing music. However, with the hand of the Master, our life's work can truly be beautiful. The next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You may hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear,"Don't quit." "Keep playing." May you feel His arms around you and know that His hands are there, helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces. Remember, God doesn't seem to call the equipped, rather, He equips the 'called.' Life is more accurately measured by the lives you touch than by the things you acquire. So touch someone by passing this little message along. May God bless you and be with you always!
