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.
