Being back 3 months ago

Its been a while….I need to add coming to 43 things on my list of goals. I just have not had a lot of time. So this one will be about what I do when I have time.
1. Go to 43 things. It makes me feel guilty when I do not get to come here. I feel as if something is missing when not here.
2. Tending to my garden. It relaxes me. I live on the third floor of a condo. On my balcony, it is starting to look like a jungle. I will post some picts when I figure out how.
3. Spending time with my family. Even though we argue sometimes, I still love them and love spending time with them. I would rather sit in a house in seperate rooms than be apart from them working somewhere.
4. Working my my projects. I have tons of projects that I would love to complete all at once. My only problem is, I do not have alot of time, and when I do, I an normally running errands or playing with my daughter.
5. Looking at myself in the mirror and making faces until I smile and sometimes laugh out loud. I do this when I get depressed. Its funny to me, to be able to look at myself, and laugh.

Little things. 4 months ago

I take weekends off from everything. Including my computer when i can. I do not carry a phone most of the time and if you see my on my Friday night, I will probably be wearing the same thing on my Sunday night. Anyway that is why I didi not post anything in the last couple of days. But, I did think about it all weekend. Today its about the things.

1. Myrtle Beach. I have complained about this place and will probably continue to do so. I like where I live. I love the environment. The people as a whole…not so much. But I am close to mountains, oceans, rivers and many national forests. I love the area…but sometimes the people make lose sight of that.

2. The sun. Keeps me warm sometimes. Helps plants grow. allows me to see and gives me something beautiful in the morning and evenings.

3. Rain and water. This one is my Favorite. Water has the power to cleans and destroy. It cleans the dirt off of you and can be dirty. It is used to Baptize and used in intimate sex scenes in movies and fantasies. It also has the power to give life, shape it, and take it. Water is my favorite.

4.Insects. I know some of them suck…but not all of them. I feel like sometimes they are overlooked and killed. I have recently started some projects. One is trying to grow all my own food indoors. This year I did it out doors, on my 3rd floor balcony. Its all screened in. I did not take that in consideration at all. With it being screened in the plants could not pollinate, because the insects could not get to them and help. Also, my pepper plant was attacked by so many aphids it died. The wasps and the lady bugs could not get in to eat them. I have many wasps nest on the outside of the screen, but not on the inside. So I am grateful for the insects, they help feed me.
5.Walking barefoot on the beach when the algae are active. There is a part of the beach here that glows when you walk on it. it only happens at night and at certain times of the years, but it is very cool looking. Pitch black beach, you turn around and see your footprints glowing. Its the algae tying to protect themselves
Well there is my five. Thanks for having me.

People 4 months ago

Tonight..more like this mornings 5 will be about people.
1. Mr. John Lee. one night I was really depressed. I went to google looking for something that would make me laugh. Every keyword that I typed in, within the top five I would see a URL with 43 things in it. I would click and see John in his hoodie. I thought to myself this is just a blog, myspace, facebook kinda thing..not what I am looking for. After about an hour, I decided to read what he had to say. It was one of his daily 5. Long story short…I was impressed, it made me interested and I became a member. So thank you Mr. Lee I am on 43 because of you.
2. Shanelle. She is my wife. She stayed be my side no matter how much of a jerk I have been, and believe me …I can be. Though she does not know it…she keeps me grounded and focused.
3. Cheyenne. My step daughter. I really hate calling her that. I just say she is my daughter. She is my best friend. I think I get more enjoyment playing with her than she does playing with me. Thats not a bad thing. When I play with her…its like it was when I was a kid playing in the sand box…but then i take it too far and i embarrass her.
4. CHI CHI. My dog. She has been with me though everything. (but then again she is not going anywhere.) She is my protector and friend. When I get upset I can sit and talk to her and she makes me forget what I was upset about.
5. Chelsea. My cat. She is not even supposed to be alive. she was found in the trash with about 9 others. The people that found her brought her to a childrens convention with the others to be adopted. They realized that she was not going to survive so they would not adopt her out. She was blind and did not move. I told them I wanted her because i did not want her to be taken away to be put to sleep. I wanted her to know that she was loved before she pasted away. after about 12 hours they gave in and let me take her. I took her knowing that she was going to die. I fed her with an eye dropper every two hours and she went every were I went. i kept her in my pocket. That was about 15 years ago. She can see now. She ignores me alot but every once in a while she will slap my in the head or put her butt in my face. I still love her.
So there’s my five for the day. i know the last two were not human…but they are people to me. I also want to thank Dreamer for making me feel at home. Cupcakehead…You make me laugh. I smile just saying your name…Cupcakehead I love it. There are so many others here, I am thankful for. Sorry If I did not mention your name….I will…Just not tonight. So there is my list for tonight….thank you for reading.
