Want vs. Need

-
It's that time of year again, when the shops start sneaking in things that shouldn't really be out until late November. It feels wrong seeing stuff with snow crystals & Santas on now. We should be celebrating autumn's abundance...not the Ghost of xmas yet to come. On top of that people's already started to ask me what kinda "pressies" I want for my birthday & the holidays this year. o.O There's loads of unnecessary things I want...& a few things I truly need that time of year... Like warm socks, tea & candles...that's a need of mine since I use it, or rather abuse it. :P Now, what I want...that's a whole different ballgame. Let me give you a sneak peak at my looong wishlist:
This Merve Kahraman's Hybrid Chair  would look great as the head seat at the dining table, right?

There's a gazillion more things I want & dream about. But I think I'll spread it out over the next couple of weeks. Nice to have something to ramble about during the weekdays...even though it is in regard to the glorious month of December. ;)

Oscars 2018

I’m not watching the Oscars tonight. No, it’s not a protest. I’m just fed up with that echo chamber, plain & simple. If seeing someone blow up someone else’s a$$ tickles my fancy, I’ll just watch porn. Thinking back, movies have played a huge role in my life. I’ll even go as far as saying they helped shape me into the woman I am today. I learned that through adversity comes strength… Of course life has given me a hell of an a$$ kicking from time to time to remind me of that… But seeing those characters always filled me with enough gumption to get through it. They taught me that love comes free of charge (Can’t buy me love), that I don’t like huge animals kept in captivity (Free Willy) but do like hairy men (Austin Powers), that it’s not a good idea to give scientists free reins without supervision (Jurassic Park) & that there’s very little you can’t do if you just work together (See no evil, Hear no evil). They brought nightmares, never-ending stories…raised hell, terminated pe…

Underlying cause

Imagine constantly getting exposed to pus & abscess from people’s open wounds... The putrid smell & constant oozing from the maggot infested lesion is straight in your face no matter where you turn. That’s how logging onto social media feels like these days to be honest. It’s like a mindless humming of utter bullsh*t...& I am guilty as hell for humming along with them at times. I miss smelling old books, reading them, learning things about history, nature, etc...



Anyway, I really dropped in to say that I had a rather lovely weekend. My son was here with his friends. The laughter & music filling the house when they’re here always lifts my spirit. A few minutes after they had left, it all took a rather abrupt turn though. My cat had a seizure. In almost 17 years we’ve never had any trouble with Loke. So it came as quite the shock for my son & I. It was awful seeing it. Talked to a veterinarian & she said that it seemed like an epileptic seizure...& in old cats …

Kid you not

People who brag about their kid being the same as themselves should be worried, not proud. Cause if you’re honest with yourself, do you really think that’s a good thing? Similarities are fine, but a damn clone? Don’t you wish more for your kid? 



There’s a flawless human being standing in front of you, not tainted by the same stupid ass mistakes that’s scarred your mind. Do you really want them to drag their feet through your footsteps or chart out their own path? Watch, be attentive when they do stuff, what fires them up, what makes them react with passion? Do not let the reflection of yourself fool you, kids say & do things to please you. They see what lights your fire & they mirror your passion just so they can get a positive reaction from you. That does not mean it’s their torch to carry. Lift them off of your trail & onto their own. ...& maybe have a little ponder as to why they mirror you? (Yeah, yeah, I know the psychology behind it, but in some  cases that's …
