Warning - one of those topics you don't discuss in public!!!
RELIGION.
There. I said it, and I will get back to it.
I've been gone again for quite awhile. It's not that I don't have anything to say, but more I didn't have the words to say it.
I was pretty messed up for awhile there. I just couldn't think straight and it was driving me absolutely nuts….and I know that *may* not be that far of a walk, that does NOT mean that I'm interested in crossing that line into insanity and all on purpose! lol. Anyway, I took an incomplete in a class, worked on didactic and when that guy said "trust the process" he wasn't kidding!!! Then I caught that crud going around. I can't tell you the last time I was that sick. Ugh. Hope you all don't get it or recover quickly. It's NASTY…..but while I was too sick to move, my mind took the time to sort a bunch of my life philosophy stuff out.
I'm not sure why I'm posting this now, unless it's either to serve as a reminder to myself at some future date, somebody needs to read it, or I might want to rereference the thought pattern sometime, I wanted to have access. My blog is about the ONLY place where I don't lose stuff. I just need to remember that I wrote it in OCTOBER of 2011!! Yep, that was done on purpose to try to cement this content with that file. Believe me, it's hard to live in my brain!
Anyway, I haven't gone to church in years. I really don't want to get into that part of it as it's only important as a reference point for what I'm about to say.
I have pretty much always (I'm sure there's gaps. We all know that I LIVE for doubt gaps unfortunately. What is the female name of Thomas? Yeah, I'm her….anyway, I've almost always believed in a higher power. I have come to the conclusion that I don't give a rats ass what you call it, truth is truth no matter what name you put on it. I happen to call this higher power God. I also believe that he is omnipresent and that He IS love. The rest of the trappings are pretty much just trappings that satan uses to split believers so we aren't as strong…….but I digress.
Last night, I felt the need to post 4 songs on my friend's facebook wall. As I went to see if I could remember what I was trying to remember at the time (which was pretty much a result of prayer time…) I saw a new truth….that in those four youtube clips is my testimony, my belief in the basic road to salvation….which is having a relationship with the one who IS love, and how I think it works. It's not something we try to do, it is something we are compelled to do. I love people. Great. So I share love in about a zillion formats. That's just who I am. AND THAT IS MY JOB on this earth. Each relationship I have stems from love on some level. Sometimes I just put the wrong title on the wrong type of love. I am also positive I will screw this up for the rest of my life. Hopefully, with less frequency, though.
Instead of telling you what I see……I dare ya to watch JUST TO SEE if something rings true in you. If not, no harm, just a few lost minutes of music you may not like and words you may not agree with. If you do, well, then may it touch your heart in the way it was meant to touch you, which is for you and you alone. If you choose to share, great. If you choose not to, great.

Everything I needed to know, I learned from my couch….
Yes, it's a take off of Robert Fulgham's Kindergarten list. There's a *reason* there are so many of these lists out there……I don't know exactly what "it" factor it has, but it has "it"
Anyway…..
forget measure twice, cut once….I'd rather not have to cut a couch at all. BUT I did, and I have pictures to prove it.
Couches are not like Humpty Dumpty, they can be put together again….just like the pieces of our lives that are seemingly impossible at the moment. Time and perspective are great puzzle solvers.
Brain vs Brawn? I'm still not sure on this one, but quitting would have left me couchless, out of money and with a couch on a curb with no apparent disposal options.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
Sometimes you cannot get a rectangular object through a series of other seemingly bigger rectangle openings….. reminding me of the importance of angles, vectors and other such shit I thought I didn't need to know in high school.
It is possible to punch large holes in plaster with the arm of the couch with a lot of pressure over time…….. and sometimes no matter how hard we try, sometimes effort and will are just not enough….and no matter how hard you try, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. Will, desire, intelligence and strength be damned. Really, sometimes things really just do not fit.
I really don't give up easily.
I can take apart and reassemble a back from the couch. I'm still kinda impressed about that……..we all have talents that are hidden even from ourselves.
There may be more than one way to skin a cat ----- but I'm sure as hell glad I don't have to! There are also many ways to move large pieces of furniture through multiple hallways and openings…..and sometimes the first 35 don't work. I'm sure as hell glad I don't have to do this again for at least….a day? lol.
It took me something like 4 or 5 days to get this couch through this particular doorway. Sometimes, solutions comes way after the desired deadline…and you know what, things are still okay. Not ideal, but okay.
If I had to do it all over again-----I'm seriously considering inflatable models.
