3 DAY NOVEL CONTEST

I am trying to gear myself up for this annual foray into writing insanity. I've done it five times before and thought hey, why not, try it again.
Now that the writing weekend is a couple weeks away I've started a couple outlines.
I want it to be fast paced (always) not much filler all meat! Spy's and counter intellegence lost scrolls or trolls lol.
My family looks at me with trepidation when I announce that I am doing this "again" and they know my poor husband will pay the price of someone who writes for 13-16 hours straight and sleeps for a few hours more and finishes a book. Insane yes, empowering omg yes! I recommend everyone do this at least once in their lives. Who knows you might win the contest though for me, its about finishing...typing "THE END" and then seeing what happens.

Storms

We talk about global warming being responsible for the storm seasons, the velocity and ferocity of them. Then there are the double digit "hurricanes" we deal with which are churning in the oceans every year now. I say we as the global community not just Canada. The tornados that touched down last night around dinner time were never heard of when I was a kid. It was something that happened in the Wizard of Oz or the land of OZ - The USA. Is it just global warming though? I have looked up many times into a clear blue sky and wonder just who exactly is controlling the weather? We have read about weather manipulation tests. What happens when man's lust for scientific one upmanship causes storms such as these all year round? How would humanity recover from that? It would devastate the ability to grow food, to survive.

Joyce Morrison, a journalist wrote this in 2004, "The unusual amount of email regarding the modification of the weather theory piqued my interest and I began to dig a little deeper. Natures intense power can leave devastation in its path, but with help, it could turn into a weapon of mass destruction."

As proof of weather modification she also wrote in the same article found at http://www.newswithviews.com/Morrison/joyce17.htm

"SB 517 says: It is the purpose of this Act to develop and implement a comprehensive and coordinated national weather modification policy and a national cooperative Federal and State program of weather modification research and development, "

So we are not hallucinating there is something dark going on and its not just the clouds blocking out the sun. And there is this tidbit , "Weather War New evidence suggests US & Russia are embroiled in an illegal race to harness the power of hurricanes & earthquakes. An October 8, 2005 The Daily Express (U.K.) - 2005-07-16 news article gave the following information: "

Uh huh .... hmmm well isn't this information interesting people! Heads up , be aware and don't be blinded to the truth.

Music

Bach was an amazing composer. We all know this. One of his quotes was, "There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself."

Hah! Well easier said than done in my opinion. In my case, it is allowing your brain to agree with your fingers that is the right key and be sure of it. It is the inability to be secure in your knowledge that you can play this. Stop over-thinking it dammit!

I did receive honours on my exam but it isn't good enough so next time I will do my best to memorize the pieces and not lose marks. I had getting old lol

Raw Food Diet

I was checking into this new fad. I call it a fad, because they all are aren't they!

So you eat 75% raw (uncooked) food. Hmmm.... well ya'll know me well and know I can't stand veggies most of the time unless it's carrots, peas, corn or potatoes then I am good :) So when I read up about bean sprouts and cabbage and raw mushrooms well that pretty much sealed the deal. Will I be taking the 100 day challenge? NOPE! lol - I will however try to eat more veggies and fruit. I would like to get off my medications if possible. I know by losing weight my BP and cholesterol will decrease enough that I won't have to take medications for it. Here's hoping I can make some positive changes.

Man's Stupidity

How long will it be before "man" figures out that war, military, extremism, occupation and repression of others doesn't work? Nobody wins in a war, there are only losers. It has not changed for thousands of years, just the means by which we kill each other. Remove the politics and religion and we will have Valhalla (heaven on earth).

For the earth's population to survive, we must, MUST, go back to a matriarchial society. Men running things doesn't work. They've had enough time to figure it out and still they are warmongers. They don't know how to practice non violence. It is inbred I believe.

Israel, Palestine, Tibet, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somolia, and the list goes on and on. One dies another pops up to take their place. Their goal is to kill and perhaps to die a martyr. I shake my head and hope in their next life they live a life of peace.

In addition to wars, there are the men who abuse their wives, their children, other peoples children. Our world is sick and its dying. Men make the mistake of believing that women "Need" them to surive. We don't! We don't even need them to procreate anymore though doing so with them is much nicer :)

Women know and practice the sacred circle daily whether they realize it or not. A few "in the know men" join in and recognize the right path and follow it. So few do.

Oh we Canadians!

What is Canadian's favourite passtime? Oh come on now you know it! Of course - its discussing the weather. Be it freezing cold, damp from too much rain or like the past couple of days scorching hot, we Canadians love to complain about the weather.

Is it asking too much for a nice 72-74 degree day? A nice light breeze, a cloudless sky? Oh yeah, I live in Ontario. Hello! No such thing lol

I just Feel like it!

Okay I just feel like blogging today. And who came up with that name anyway? God it's dumb! Journaling makes more sense doesn't it? I am blog, clog, eggnog who gives a shit lol.

Okay I am in a rare mood. Contemplating my next book. It will be a good one. Three part story with three characters all intertwined. The power of three. Never under-estimate it.

My Mother in law whom I love very much burnt herself last night with scalding hot water because my father in law doesn't like to change things like lower counters or make the floors higher! She is in a wheelchair. If the sink had been lower or her higher then she wouldn't be in the hospital now. Frustrates the hell out of me when a little effort would make someone elses life so much easier why we just don't f'ing do it!!!

Exams when you get old!

Where does the rention go after 40? Probably same place my metabolism disappeard too! I am sitting in a waiting room in a church to boot waiting to take my Grade 1 piano exam. Haha you say Grade1, but just to put it into perspective 5 more grades and I can teach!

I look around at the 3 other "little girls" waiting to take their turn after me because the examiner is way behind. They all hold books for grades 2, 3, and 6 if you can imagine! They look at my Books with the lowest grade on it, their eyes wide and I can hear them thinking wow i wonder how many times she's had to take that exam!!!

The Obsessed and Possessed!

I have had the displeasure of having someone come into my life that I wish hadn't. We all have. The thorn in your side that just won't go away! The bottom of the barrell scrapings that rise up and try to choke you. You try to ignore them, you delete them from places like Facebook and block them from email and instant message systems and still they while away their days trying to find ways around your safeguards to get at you again. Why? Who the hell does this?

What makes people become so obsessive? What makes a soul turn dark so that all it wishes to do in this life is manipulate and cause pain to others?

I don't understand it. I believe in harm none. I believe in the goodness in others but sometimes there is so little goodness inside, hidden by so much darkness that there is no way you can reach these people and turn them around.

I wonder to what lengths a person will go? Will you hear about it in the news when they cross the line 99% of us will never consider crossing? I don't know. I refuse to even consider it. Her ways are harmless in that sense. Yes this person pushes buttons and defames my name, stalks my family and seems to have no rules that apply to her. I also believe in the laws of the universe though, and all you send out whether it be bad or good, comes back 10 times as it should.

It is only one person's Perception!

I have realized through my study of the tarot and now the runes that if we follow our own intuition the outcome will always be the answers you are seeking. If we all follow the written guides to learn who or what the cards and runes represent, we are following the interputations of one person or a collection of people and not our own intuition. It's like the Bible. Great stories to be used as a guide for our lives, not to be taken literally. Same goes for learning the forms of divination. Humans are fallable, we're not machines so we make it fit, we make it work. But what works for some will possibly not work for me or you. If cards weren't so mass marketed we could make our own sets. Each one of us will be given 78 blank cards, minor and major arcanas will remain the same as far as the numbering but the rest will be to your own choosing even the names on the cards. Remember when we divine the divine, we need symbolism that will resonate with our souls light up our minds and hearts. Someone else's artwork and meanings, we will find it difficult to put to memory unless we take course after course. Not so if you create your own. The magic will be high and the readings worthy of your craft. Just a thought. Perhaps I will do just that! Stayed tuned....

Reality vs Religon

What is it about some people's concept of GOD that makes these certain people insane? What makes them so insecure in their faith they attack others who don't believe in the way they feel we should? If it were up to the so called christians today, the inquisitions would begin anew! I know of one person who would lead the charge making sure every witch or wiccan like me, is strung up and burnt at the stake again. God and Goddess help us all.

So in the name of "GOD" we have raped, pillaged, burned down cities and towns, eradicated the female populous in some cities and regaled our sex to subserviant roles for centuries. Bravo!!!

Now that we stand up and say ...hey wait a sec ...no way you are going to treat me like this, some religous zealots (YES WOMEN TOO) tell us we are wrong to question, we are wrong to want the betterment of man and womankind by following the old ways of natural healing and magic, we must follow their way or get on the highway quick before they catch us and silence us forever.

What have they learned from the Churches past mistakes (that they are still atonning for) ? Their horrors inflicted upon the innocent? From my view... not a damned thing.

Parry Sound

One and a half hours north lies a small town called Parry Sound. Mom and Dad were both born there. Laurie and Jim were born there also. Their families were some of the first founding families in the area. Our great-great grandfather Zachariah Watts a emanscapated mulatto slave settled there with his wife Annebelle McDougall and had 14 children. He was also a school board trustee for 2 terms that I could find.

We have alot of history there and everytime I go back there the familiarity of my time living there from age 1.5 to age 6 comes back in a rush.

We were on original Frazer land. Mom's dad was Fitzgerald Frazer II. His father by the same name came from Ireland and died when my grandfather was still in the womb. Grampa died young too when Mom was only 13 yrs old. Gramma Watts Frazer never re-married.

Many many years later Mom's brother Robert (Bobby) Uncle Bob to us bought the land and he was so excited about owning it. He bought a big trailer and set up camp. He came up as often as possible and planned to retire there by building a home. Life got in the way and his health deteriorated. He now has MS and is in a wheelchair. He sold the trailer and today we helped him pack up. He wept and so did we knowing how much leaving this land forever means to him. We all love him so very much.

The Runes

On another more positive subject, now that I've caught my breath, slowed my racing heart and both eyes are facing forward again (lol) I've decided after a couple years of being lazy, I am going to study the ancient Fulkirk Runes again.

I could only remember 3 of them. Not very good!

There is FEOH - - Odd shaped letter F - means Cattle or back then meaning you were wealthy because you could afford cattle! Also means (from memory so correct me) giving a gift, receiving a gift.

There is RAD - Looks like a letter R - means a journey. A moving forward

and GEOFU - which looks like a letter X - a union or partnership of some kind. Could mean a wedding a joining of two equals...

so you see I'm back to square one. I hope one day to master them and give you all readings!

F'ING NEWS!

It really pisses me off to no end when I read shit in the news that is supposed to throw cold water on our economic recovery. In one breath- we're not in a recession in another oh God more jobs lost. HEllo! There are always job losses! Businesses change, but ppl keep buying products and the economy does just fine! Why do they insist on keeping the country, not just ours, but globally in a state of panic? In a state of fear? Shut them off! Shut them all off! They make millions because we tune in, we react. Don't tune in please. Banks are making billions of dollars in profits because we think its okay to pay a fee to withdraw money we earned! Not them. OMG I have to shut up or else I'll disappear from this earth mysteriously or die from some illness easily explained and it won't be natural at all!

The minions who run the world and its banking system are counting on us mundanes to follow along blindly to whatever is said to us. They lead us around by the nose and we don't even realize it! Wake up ppl! Its not exaactly the Matrix but its close I believe. We are bombarded with noise until we don't even remember what we watched. Nothing moves us anymore we've become apathetic robotic symbols of our former selves.

Get outside go up north, get away. Live, slow down, breathe, live.

Happy Anniversary Tim

Well today my hubby and I have been married 21 years. Time has flown by and it certainly doesn't feel as though we've been a couple this long but its true. I think the reason we've done so well is because the love is still there. He tells me many more times than I tell him and I love it. We still hold hands and he's very loving and attentive. He's a slob in his bathroom and the rest of the house but hey,,, he works 2 jobs and rarely has any time off. So I keep my mouth shut. I love him very much. He is my life.

camping

There is something to be said about camping in a tent vs camping in a trailer. After 2 weekends in a tent. - omg give me walls and an inside bathroom. Bugs! What the hell? The flies they bite you, spiders bite you, mosquiotes bit you. I look like I have chicken pox! lol

Will I camp again? Oh hell ya!
