One score and six years ago, my young mother brought forth on this continent a new baby, conceived out of desperation and a few minutes of pleasure (not sure if the few minutes thing is a fact but I kinda don't want to find out), and dedicated to the proposition that perhaps you can trap a man into loving you by having his children...
Wait, wait...that was a tad bit disrespectful. I thought about erasing it but what the hell. It's my blog, right?? I can say whatever I want here, right? So there! I said it. But just to clarify a few things, my mother and father did love each other at some point (I am the third of four children they have together and they have been separated for over 24 years now). Their souls were brought together for many reasons and helping my soul, and those of my siblings, to enter this world was one of them. I respect and love both of my parents even though they both have disappointed me in many areas. Not just in ways that affect my life but theirs. Now back to my epic introduction
Now at this time in my life I am engaged in a great civil war, not just within myself but within my human family, testing wether or not my soul and the souls of all who walk this earth can endure. I find myself on a great battle-field of many lifetimes given to my soul before. I am dedicating this lifetime to all those lives so that my soul might finally find it's resting place. It just makes sense to me at this point in my life.
But, on a grander scale, I can not disregard, feel ashamed, lose sight, or be upset about my past any longer. Nor can I continue to reject my now, this moment, or my heart any longer. Only the bravest of souls have chosen to come to the school of hardknocks: Planet Earth! I am one of those brave souls thus I am divine. It is with me, then, to fulfill my purpose and to take ownership of the task laying before me.
Ok, so that was a bit dramatic and maybe I lost some of you on the whole planet earth thing. That speech (thanks Abe) is hardly the reason I am starting this blog. Right now I am sitting next to my husband (also starting a blog) and I am reminded of how we would talk for hours about anything, everything, and nothing. Well, that is what this blog is about. Just another soul trying to find my place and learn the lessons I am here to learn. I don't take myself seriously all the time. I am going to rant and rave, love and hate, bitch and moan, smile and vomit, and laugh and dance. I don't like labels or limits. I just want to write. I wanted to sit and here and make a commitment to blog everyday but my fear holds me from it. So, fuck you fear! Gonna do it anyway. 365 entries for 2011.
So, what else? Oh, well my job takes me on the road...well, mostly in the air. I meet all sorts of interesting people. I see hundreds of new faces every month. I have the power to change life experiences for people 76 lives at a time. Now I hear Peter Parker's uncle in my ear. (Geeky reference...keep up). With great power comes great responsibility.
Ciao for now!
