Construction paper world.

My inspiration arrives suddenly and from a memory that could have easily been abandoned because I was so consumed. So many exceptional moments could have been lost while I spent time in orbit.

Who would I be without that lost reality…and your face, your words, and your touch?

You sing karaoke
without knowing
the words.
Can’t read,
but can kill it
in a verse.
That sweet dance,

a remembrance.

With that in mind, I continue...

I am fascinated with the everyday condition. I watch and listen and I am prompted to return the favor with ink and fiber. I am captivated by the remote.

I am drawn to those who misguidedly assume they have little to offer. I admire those with the biggest hearts, and the quietest egos. And the vibrant, passionate, strong willed and self assured also encourage my craft.

The dark and pensive, the quiet and plotting, the spirited and confined, the naïve and unafraid…any combination a profit, all notions sublime.

The gravity of a book, a wise old woman, a tale told in three verses and a chorus repeated twice, the advice of those who know infinitely so much more, and the unexpected bit of hope that arrives when you say I love you.








p.s. paint your walls a deviceful shade of change and then you will know why.

When I was at primary school, I used to love to glue my hands. When it dried all flaky I would freak out the other kids by pretending I had a skin disease.



OH MY GOD!!!!
I used to do that AND i once used it to et out of a swimming lesson by doing it on my feet in yr8!!! The teacher freaked asnd wouldn't let me near the pool!
I really have never known anyone else who did that!!!

ok that is as far in my reading I got , hello everyone and I'm going back to catch up.

I blogged a new poem too if anyone would like to read it.

missT I really hated swimming class in PE. I love swimming but we used to start with "ok 2 laps freestyle, 2 laps breaststroke, 2 laps backstroke...." in a 50m pool, and I only learnt to swim properly in yr6 (our school had no pool).
I used to bounce in the shallow end and stay at the wall so I could pull myself along, And I think I had my period more in 5 years of highschool in summer than my whole life!!

oh it's so cool you did the flaky skin too!

and Mayo like the post,it's really nice I think (first read) plus we currently have construction paper bunny ears with stuff stuck all over them and I am trying to figure out how to make footprints for tonight!

Mayo, have you been creative lately? Today I got to build a caffeine molecule. I played with a glue gun, paint, mini dowels, and styrofoam balls. I love projects like that. I helped my son create his molecule. There's nothing like building something from a bunch of random pieces of stuff. I like days like today. It reminds me of the good days of my childhood. A time when things were easier and getting messy was part of the fun.

Hi everybody else.
"Sorry hard to type when holding a rooster lol" K, is this a euphemism for something? :)

"Protensous" THAT's vrilliant! What's that supposed to mean? A different version of "protagonist" or possibly "pro-tension?" Let me know so I can try and work that shit into my vocabulary.

You have no idea the kind of really bad puns that happened at work--that happen every freaking time at work whenever we get a rooster in. It never gets old. That's because everyone I work with is twelve.

"Can you get that rooster up for me?"

"Want me to hold that rooster for you?"

"That's quite a huge male chicken you've got there. Mind if I pet it?"

Anonymous said...

Fimmy, listen to what both k and mustard are saying to you. Despite what you're feeling right now, you can't give up and settle down for anything else. You have to try to do what makes you happy. Dreams and goals are difficult to reach, but there are not impossible as long as you are confident and determined to reach for them and to work hard for them.

No dream will become a reality if you sit and wait for it to happen. It doesn't work that way. You have to be willing to work for it and in the long one, when you reach that point of acheiving the possible, you can look back and see the sacrifices, the dedication, and the work ethnic that you made and what you accomplished and say that "I did that. I made it happen."

You can't tell yourself that you can't do this, or you can't do that. That kind of thinking will make you feel that dreams are impossible to make into reality. You have to try, otherwise you won't se results.

For some reason I bought a lottery ticket and a mega million sticket on Wednesday and I just remembered the Mega Millions one now. Recently Deepak Chopra said something (or at least my friends said that he said something) to the effect of people's happiness level remaining more or less constant throughout their lives. For instance, people who suffer a grea loss will mourn for a few months, but often will "level off" near the level of happiness or contentment they had felt before. And that people who won the lottery would have a few months of eupohoria, and then once they had settled into their new homes or traveled some or whatever, would settle back down to their original level of happiness.

I'm sure that's not true for everyone, but I suspect it would be true for me. There's so much stuff I would do with millions of dollars. Like, pay off my cousins' college tuition (for the ones who have yet to go, too,) pay off everyone's bills, buy a house, but one that wasn't too big because I would live alone and I don't want to clean all that stuff. I'd get a little dance studio. I'd take my friends on some trips to countries we want to visit.

And then I expect I'd be the same more or less content person that I was, who still spent way too much time worrying over the terrible things that could happen. Money doesn't prevent your loved ones from up and dying, you know?

Yet I guess I am willing to test this theory because I did buy the ticket.

Hi Kapu!

I also agree with Deepak, after the initial elation, things go back to normal. I mean, money can only buy so much.

But I would assume the freedom it would allow you to have, can make things a bit easier. But then, it can also enslave you, and tie you to your possessions. More money, more responsibility.

Anonymous said...

Just so, KD. ALso I suspect that with me, I would worry less about paying my bills (or actually, not at all,) which would free up more time for me to worry about losing my friends and family.

Yet I still played the ticket because it would be nice to have a little house with very few neighbors. ;D

Again, my condolences for what you and your ex-boyfriend and his family are currently dealing with. I wish you all many comforting thoughts.

Paperheart:
Where are you?!?! Hope you're okay!

Star:
It was great to see you around today! Even better that you were doing arts and crafts on the job! ;)

SS:
If you hear a knock at the door, it's just one or two of us dressed in FBI wear trying to hunt your ass down. ;) Have a good night, do you hear me? And a good Easter! Eat lots of PEEPS!

Okay, I think I got it all. I'm going to C&P my novel to Mayo, then I'm snoozing.

What's up?

If I won the lottery, I would go broke making sure all my friends and family could play rich with me.

Smoke said...

Yes, I would, K. I would totally take it back. See, it's run by the mafia, I think. Seriously, I swear, these people are nothing but crooks.

And I'd take it back and make it an actual hospital instead of a damn money making factory.

And I'd watch as all the shit for brains directors pack up their little things and hit the road.

Ahhhhhhh. Niiiiiice.

Or.......

I'd just buy alot of hair stuff. ^_^

Good night Mustard dear, sleep well and whatnot!

*waves to everyone*

Kapu, I think that is what most would like, freedom from bills, not worrying about living paycheck to paycheck, and having your own private place in the world.

My thinking is, that money is really a representation of a bit of freedom in our culture. It also has an energy, I believe too much of it can be negative as well.

Like they say, with privilege comes responsibility.

Smoke said...

Night Mustard! Sweet dreams!

Nite Mustard!

Vivienne said...

If I won the lottery... oh man, I'd just pay off my families debt and buy a ticket to... some place new.

Have a good night, Mustard :)

This is long, so those who aren’t interested in the crazy train of thought, just skim right on over.



Mayo, these are my goodnight thoughts for the next, I dunno, fifteen nights? ;)

Construction paper world
I never really gave this a second thought, that is, until now. Fragile enough to ripped apart, flaky enough to cause worry, colorful enough that on a good day, you see blue skies and sunsets. But, simultaneously, this world can crumple and cause paper cuts.

But, let us not forget simple. I think we make this place harder in our heads than it really is. There’s a science to living, you just have to figure out the formula. We won’t ever figure that formula out, so we’re force to just live. How I’d love to see this world again through a child’s eyes, through fat, kindergarten pencils, through a box of 64-count Crayola crayons with a built-in sharpener.

So many exceptional moments could have been lost while I spent time in orbit.

That’s probably one of my biggest fears, to miss all of it while I’m too busy looking somewhere else for something that will never happen. “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” Just guess. Yep, him. But, I’m a planner, and that’s what frightens me.

But, I’m glad you’ve taken the time to stop. All of this talk awhile back about having to keep going, go, go, go, always moving, no looking back, all of that had us worried, dude. We needed you to just breathe. It looks to me like you’re getting there.

You sing karaoke/without knowing/the words./Can’t read,/but can kill it/in a verse.

But, I bet they feel it, Mayo. And that’s the best part of it. To feel it inside of you, taking up every shadow of every corner, filling voids, and expanding horizons. It makes it all worth it sometimes to not know the words, the rhythm, or the meaning. When you look with innocent eyes and with a heart that isn’t jaded, it makes it so much better.

Not really related, but I people-watch, too. I’m so boring that it’s become a hobby of mine. You learn a lot just by watching and observing a human, especially humans in a group. The way they interact, the way they engage each other. It completely fascinates me. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes it’s hard to watch them, hard to digest the meaning behind a handshake, a hug, or sideways glance. But, I’m still captivated.

The gravity of a book, a wise old woman, a tale told in three verses and a chorus repeated twice, the advice of those who know infinitely so much more, and the unexpected bit of hope that arrives when you say I love you.

And it can’t ever be this simple unless you let it. A book? I don’t read enough, but when I do, it takes me somewhere far away from here. A wise old woman, or man, whichever the case may be? They have more truth and passion and virtue in their eyes than I am able to imagine. They get this. They understand and know so much; we just have to listen. Unexpected hope in three words that make you feel human? One of the best gifts in the world, right Mayo? I hope you are overwhelmed with that hope, and are showered with love daily. Sometimes, those are the only things that matter and get us through.

Lastly, “a tale told in three verses and a chorus repeated twice.” It’s my life. I eat it. I breathe it. I live it. It takes up every waking moment, and it’s sometimes there when I’m asleep. It’s everything to me. And I hope that one day, all of the people that have given me this know how much I appreciate it.

I’d just like to say I’m almost proud to be one of those people you’ve described.

P.S. I will. I’m trying, but don’t ask me to start a demolition. I need security, and I need distance. For now.

You write well Mustard.
Have a good sleep. :)

Smoke said...

I would take LHM wherever he wanted to go. Which would be to meet the following:

Tony Hawk
Bam Margera
Ric Flair, Triple H, HBK, The Hardy Boys
Rob & Big

Ahhhhh, jeez. ^_^

Splash, thank you so much. :) Will dream of boys for sure tonight. NICE ones. Who don't have their asscrack hanging all out and who don't call names!

Solly, the first thing I would do wold be to pay off my cousin's college and car, and then put money away for my other two cousins to go to college and get cars when they got older. None of those kids would ever have to worry. Then I'd pay my parents' bills and I'd get something state of the art for the hospital I work at.

I'd buy me a nice little hizzy with stones instead of shingles, a dance studio, and SO MANY PLANTS you couldn't believe it. Then I'd go straight away to California to meet with some friends, on to Hawai'i to hang with my really good friend and go surfing in the Pacific again, then to Japan. Afterwards I'd hit Italy, Egypt and China. I would want to take some family with me and any friends who wanted to go. I would buy my folks a timeshare in Disneyworld too.

I'd build a fantastic aviary so I could care for more birds than I am able to fit in my house now. Oh, and I'd pay off my meffing bills but that goes without saying.

Then I would adopt a kid.

I think that's about it!

sdock10 said...

Bravo, Mustard! That comment was awesome.

Amyranth said...

Money can only buy so much

So true. I actually thought today, that if I won the lottery, I'd still shop at the grocery store, still go out for dinner, still have to buy socks. It just means I wouldn't be as broke as quick.

But really? If I won the lottery, I'd buy a new house, some palatial mansion like Mayo's got. ;)

Depending on how much I won, there would probably be a round of houses for everyone.

Then, vacations, trips, and finally getting to start working on my jewelery business.

I know that in the USA, your lottery winnings get WAY up there... 350 million, once or twice, am I correct? The most I've ever seen in Canada is 35-40 million.

-A enjoyed her supper very much, thank you.

sally said...

Mustard, you are quite exceptional! I like the way you challenge and question things. Goodnight, and sleep well!

Well, I'm superfly tired and we are having Hula rehearsal tomorrow. And we'd better stay on it, because it's going to be show season pretty meffing soon! O_O Holy hell, Hula season starts up in about a month and we are nowhere near prepared. Dang.

To everyone, goodnight, an I hope you have a great weekend. If you do Easter, then have a great Easter too.

Mayo, did you go outside and look at the full moon tonight? I did, and I hope you did, too. If not, there is still time. Peek your head out of the window and look! Or better yet, go outside for a few minutes. Did you see that? Did you howl at it? Oh my god, you are such a freak. ^_^

S(S)S I hope you also got to look at the full moon tonight, it is very beautiful. I know you're totally busy and everything is going really well for you. We miss you!

Goodnight you gangstas!

Totally. I'd still shop at Wild By Nature and Tar-zhay. :D They have the best stuff.

OH! ANd I would get everyone up here for the next Leathermouth show if I won the lottery, too!

Okay, well I am going to bed.

Splash, thank you for those words, it is never too long to read. ^_^

No laila, alona ahiahi!

That would be "Aloha."

Smoke said...

And you know what? Aside from all the bill paying and house building and 80's pro wrestlers, we would totally have the biggest BlogBelieve throwdown ever!

A for real one. Wouldn't that be fun? Hee-hee. Anyhoo....

Dream big, right?


Alrighty then. I'm off, too. Sleep-sleep time.


Nighty-night errbody!

Vivienne said...

Sleep well Kapunua, Hula season? sounds fantastic! :)

Who wants to call me in sick tomorrow?

Goodnight Smoke & V!

*comes home singing*
"I taste death in every kiss we share
Every sundown seems to be the last we have
Your breath on my skin has the scent of our end
I'm drunk on your tears, Baby, can't you see it's hurting?"


Hello Mayo, SS, Amy (and King Lear), Ergo, Cupcake, BC.....everybody!!!

How are you all tonight? Good, I hope!

Thank you for the lovely new post Mayo. I really like this one!
I find it quite uplifting and 'inspirational'. Hmmm....
*wonders of Mayo has caught Spring fever*

*pounce tackle hugs and smooches for all*

*continues singing*
"Every time we touch we get closer to heaven
And at every sunrise,our sins are forgiven
Uh, uh
You on my skin, this must be the end
The only way you can love me is to hurt me again
And again
And again
And again"

======================
*begins writing Amy's 'sick' note*

To whom it may concern:
Please excuse Amy from work today.
It appears as though she has a serious case of Spring Fever combined with the Blog Blues.
I don't think it is necessary to just how contagious these diseases can be......
:D

Like A Stone


On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house
Alone to read
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there Alone

On my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and then angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on



Alone

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on
