My job lost me mid summer and released me into the idea of considering my true desires & passions. It appears that quite possibly I have been a repressed bohemian for years now. My mind wanders and attempts to escape convention and reason. After raising a fine young man, I say to myself, “why not?” I am now ready to follow my heart as a windswept feather in a billowing breezw. I am the curator of my own contentment, lover of shoes and books and a spiritual glutton eager to live out fully and fiercely the true tenets of my beliefs. God is a great big GOD!! His creation is splendid and it welcomes my honest exploration. I am prepared to embrace life wholeheartedly. I am excited to forge ahead into the coming year discovering, experiencing, tasting and touching this thing called life. 2 months ago
Very rarely do I have the opportunity to take a vacation (you know, that whole Military thing), but fortunately for me, the whole base shuts down during the Christmas holiday, and being the little pagan heathen that I am, I don’t celebrate Christmas. I have decided to just get in the truck, tent and sleeping bag in tow, and just drive around for 2 weeks. I want to see new places, meet new people, and explore California, maybe Nevada… hell, maybe Indiana, who knows! My birthday is on the 18th of December, so it will be a nifty little B-day adventure as well <3 VIVE LA VIE DE BOHEME! 3 months ago

One of the cornerstones of the bohemian ideology is the drive of the human spirit to create art and need to see beauty. I have gone without both for far too long, living in the sterile environments of military barracks and offices. Everything feels so regimented, and there is little color or design detail to catch the eye. The whole thing feels like a prison! I have been on desk duty for the last 6 months because of my accident, and have just learned that I will be on it for another 6 months until I recover from my hip surgery :(. I have just about had it with the boring walls and ugly carpet in my office, so I am going to make a painting and hang it on my wall behind my computer screen so I can look at somehting beautiful during the day. Tres chic, et tres boheme! 7 months ago
