Is it happening to M-E? Has my palate become so “refined” that I only enjoy the “finer” things in life? After going to “Akira Back” I’m not sure I can ever turn back. For this restaurant/experience was something my mouth watered for even if my wallet had a tough time digesting it. The fish was so fresh that it took M-E away to a calm beach while the vegetables appeared to be picked from a field of dreams. It was an experience that my mouth may never overcome. I feel as I entered a whole new castle of taste which I hope to bring back to earth with a bite more down to earth, “White Castle”. This way the haves and the have not will still be worthy and delicious in my own special palate way.

Don’t look now as thy wind is a changing. You think one can find “a pattern” but suddenly it pushes you in a totally different direction. Previously it felt like the winds would carry you away to the North with no way to hold one down  and then out of the blue the south became the target. So just remember to stay grounded no matter what and before you know the wind will die down at least for the moment.

As I went through the TSA to travel to Fort Lauderdale, the security went off. The officer asked if I wanted to be patted down in private or here. I told him I hardly knew him, so the public seemed to correct itself. He then asked why I was carrying a package. I told him it was just the “Blue Pill”. Everything seemed professional until he asked for my number. I told him I don’t swing that way, and he said, ” You never had a private pat down either.  I left to board the plane and then realized I had an extra dollar in my pocket with a number.

FOOTNOTE-  This is not a true story, but it sure felt like it.  Laugh, you must.

I have a few more candles to blow out today then I ever have and thank G-D that is the case. Here are a few things that were a bit different in my early years then are today.

(1) The biggest threat we felt was not from the cold but the “Cold War”. It was assumed that we literally would fight to the end to not allow “socialism/communism” on our shores and now many are voting for it.

(2) You actually waited in line to see the hottest movies in theaters and if you didn’t see it their you wouldn’t see it on the small screen for six months.

(3) My first T.V was not HD but black and white.

(4) When music was played you actually ran to listen to it because if you didn’t you’d hear it then you’d have to go to a place called a record store and buy a record. Well that was  until it came on the five or so radio stations.

(5) Television had five basic channels with no 24/hour anything.

(6) MTV actually played music when it came out. It was also the biggest event when stars such as Madonna, Michael Jackson & Prince came out with “World Premiere Videos”.

(7) People were bullied and had to fight their way out of it. There were no safe spaces except your house.

(8) Home computers was only for the “nerd class” until they actually showed us how cool they were.

(9) Pong from Atari was the biggest and one of the first video games to have.

(10) If you had a cell phone it didn’t fit in you hand but was much larger.

ETC, ETC

FOOTNOTE-  In a way our world of lacking led us to more excitement and exploration.

Here is your Monday song, and I even included the spelling.

You could have it “all” if only you let M-E in.  If you could show a bit more empathy toward me, yours would be full of so much more sunshine. Instead, you wallow in a dusty old mirror that you don’t even clean. It is a shame that some who have been given so much don’t comprehend the little things they need to truly enjoy them. Yet that is the pattern which exists and all I can do is pray that it breaks.

I took the “blue pill” but it wasn’t the right color. It looked a shade too light but I thought it was because of the sunlight or it was in the bottle a bit too long instead it made everything much shorter. I now have “emotions” I never thought I could have or ever want. One mistake and I feel as I should be the one not wearing the pants in the family.  Oh well at least this “blue pill” only last for 24 hours unless it was the extended version?

I feel your pain at least on the big screen. Feeling allows me to think I’m caring as I create a character who is paid millions to be watched.  I don’t actually risk money or time on a product or service I create from scratch, but I blame entrepreneurs so I can fit in with the working class. I take my limo and private jet to every liberal protest there is and throw a few sheckles their way so my conscience can be clear as I jump into my cold plunge to deal with all this stress. For it’s safer and easier to complain than create and deal with facts rather than emotions.  It also allows me to portray characters I truly know nothing about. I am a liberal actress, standing up for any cause that makes the headlines and keeping my name in the “spotlight”.

I’m unable to move but must! For it is slithering up my leg from nowhere, and I’m just paralyzed with fear. Where did it come from, and how come my body is numb? Has it already bitten its poison into M-E, and now I’m just waiting to be choked to death? Was I led to eat an apple that brought me to this faith?  How come I can’t remember anything except for this snake on my bed, maybe because it’s a nightmare that I pray I can escape.

Should I listen and obey or is this for another to view? It’s not like the words are spoken directly to M-E but it appears the actions are all around M-E. I’m not sure which way to go only that I guess I should be listening.  Yet due I submit my own ego to a higher authority and give up the freedom to choose or has my path already been chosen and G-D forbid my ears were just stuffed.
