Comic Con - T-Minus two Days....

Every year I say I will be better at blogging and every year I do well at it for about two days and then I suck major ass at it.  Believe it or not, I really do finish things in life, it's just a matter of finding time to do them, but this I really do want to keep up with.  I am making no promises about Comic Con though, because as you know, by day three (Saturday), my mind feels like is going in ten directions.
 
I suppose you could look at it this way...my brain is at a 24 hour buffet of geek input, binging on everything it possibly can, but since my brain seems to hold on to everything, it also has a tendency to go into shutdown mode once said brain reaches the quiet comfort of a room not filled with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people,  as if someone has flipped a switch.  
 
When you stand in a hotel elevator made for 5 people and there are 10 of you in it and it doesn't feel crowded, you know you have been to Comic Con.  When your hotel room, which is a normal size room, feels like the Taj Mahal at the end of the day, you know you have been to Comic Con.  In no way am I complaining, because I live for this and I love every moment, I am just saying that by Friday evening, or Saturday afternoon I am usually looking for a brain to think for me, because I don't want to do it anymore, I just want to run free amongst the costumed characters.
 
I do blame some of this in part to my inability to sleep like a normal person.  You know, regular hours that humans keep and because of that, I get punchy and can't focus and then I start to giggle and if I weren't in my own body, I would probably be annoying me...Yeah, not really, I'm pretty funny when I am silly, and I would probably be fairly entertaining.  Anyway, that is my normal on most occasions, perhaps this time will be different?  We'll just have to wait and see.
 
That said, stay tuned.  Stay wired in.  Stay alert, because I may be stopping by to borrow YOUR brain cells for the evening.

Sissy Jo....

Well, it goes without saying that the days leading up to Comic Con were anything but non-emotional.  Is that even a word?  Seriously, my mind lately. Sissy Jo, one of the three girls I call my soul sister, passed away on June 29th, her funeral was held two days before we left for Comic Con. Admittedly, this reminded me, as well, of mama being sick last year during Comic Con, so of course our 8th trip to the 'Con', was a little bluer than I think we had hoped, but we did manage to have a good time, because we know that is what Jo would have wanted.  As we all know you can't make the pain just disappear, or the sadness that comes with losing someone so important and special to your life.  As anyone could tell you, JoAnn was a force to be reckoned with, a little whirlwind of organization, love and smiles.  She loved many who were in her path and she taught us lessons of survival, never giving up and fighting the good fight. I me...

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Day 8 of 30 days of gratitude.

Today I dedicate this blog to Sissy Jo.  Today would have been JoJobean's 47th birthday and she lived every moment the best that she could.  I am forever grateful that I spent her last night on earth with her.  It was like old times when we had a lot of Sissy sleep-over's, watching "ghosty" shows, chatting, being sisters.   That night she told me her dreams for me and what she was sure would be my reality for the future. What people didn't see was JoAnn's fight.  When it was posted on Facebook that she had passed away, so many of my own family and friend's commented that they didn't even know she was still sick.  In fact, she was on her way to do payroll when she collapsed, the afternoon she passed away.  She had set-up a makeshift office at home, because her dedication to the work and people she cared about, never stopped. JoAnn was re-diagnosed in December 2008.  She had been in remission for almost four years when breast cancer came ba...
