PDA and other Ponderings
It is becoming hard to find time to blog. Sad state for me when I get too busy to blog. I love to blog.
So I will touch upon a few things that have been floating around my mind lately. Ummmmm...ok...well, here is a photo I wanted to share with you because it is just sooooooo West Coast. Jo is the one standing with the guitar...
Next, I wanted to ask this: WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE'S PROBLEM WITH PDA? I mean, we will totally tolerate ugly, disturbing acts of violence right in front of our eyes, but GOD FORBID we should see two people embracing passionately in a public place. Why is physically expressing love so awful to so many people? I am not talking here about having sexual intercourse in a public library...I am talking about examples like today. Today, Jo and I, who were having a lovely day (which lately have been few and far between) picked up some groceries at Safeway. Standing in front of the Salsa jars, Jo was overcome with affection and reached down, took my face in his hands and kissed me. Really kissed me. It was gentle and lovely and I adorded that he didn't just shove the feeling aside simply because we were in Safeway. Suddenly we hear a lady say to us "this is a grocery store!" and walk by shaking her head. We were startled out of our kiss and felt totally shamed. Jordan immediately rebutted "as good a place than any" to the old hag, but there we were. Our lovely moment smashed because somehow kissing in North America has become inappropriate. Ug. I shake my head at this world and feel sad for the lady as I am sure much of her reaction came from a life filled with no touching, no affection and zippo passion. Sheesh.
Speaking of Jo, he leaves for Mexico in 10 days for 10 days. I want to go to Mexico. Sigh.
Yesterday something very cool happenned. Because of legal reasons and protection of other innocent parties I can not blog about it. Not yet anyway. But after a long week of the blues, it gave me an inkling of hope that my life might not be totally soul sucking.
I applied to Emily Carr yesterday. There is now a kickass portfolio on this site which I need to build in a link for so that I can share it with all y'all. It is pretty cool and I will be able to add to it when I, say, finish helping Jen interior decorate her place or build another website with JoDesign, etc, etc. I am an artist. I have a porfolio.
Getting a paycheck is wonderful. I am still haunted by not having any passion for what I am doing, but GOD it feels good to get paid. PAID. Today I bought groceries and I was able to buy whatever I wanted. Ya, that is where the above kissing story took place. I don't know. Is it a big enough pay off? Passion for money? I will have to get back to you on that one.
Been thinking about my ex alot lately, Aidan. Hi, Aidan, if you are reading this. Aidan has been in my dreams and on my mind. Not in any particular way or for any particular reason, but there he lurks none the less. Last time an ex was suddenly on my mind alot, It was Jamie and we all know what happenned with that. (For those of you that don't, when I followed up on my feeling, I found out that he had drown in a vehcile accident). I promised myself after Jamie that if I started to think about someone suddenly, out of nowhere, I would follow up on the feeling. Intuition is a strong thing. So, I may need to find out if Aidan Ian Robert Simpson is okay. Hmmmmm....
Trying to embed more little movie clips into my blog of parties that we have had. Ian Sherwood was here last weekend and it was so good to have him around again. Jo and I are playing his new CD constantly. I think we both have a little bit of a crush on Mr. Sherwood. Heehee.
That is all for now. Gotta go down to Caitlin's and drink looseleaf tea and look at pictures of Mexico. Everyone is going to Mexico. I want to go to Mexico...
Por favor?
