One of my mentors has challenged me to write on my blog for thirty days straight. I have not been given any direction, or subject matter, or even a clue as to what to write about. Lacking that clue, I guess I am about to be as random in my subject selections as I have ever been. While I do follow current events, I tend not to write about them too much, because I figure many "some ones" have that subject covered and will write about it more eloquently than I can. So please, don't think I don't care and that I just write about non-sense or silly rubbish, I do care about the world and what is happening in it, which is one reason why I have stepped back from wanting to rule the world, to just wanting to save it....one random blog post at a time.
Reading back on the last few posts, I must say, I would like to steer clear from the bluer side of me and step out of the darkness and into the proverbial light. I don't plan on shining or glowing, or being a beacon of hope, I just want to pass this challenge with flying colors and not bring myself down (and quite possibly that one other reader, haha!) in the mean time. On a side note, I can be funny. I do make myself laugh, but rest assured, I am not going to audition to be a Comedian. I'm usually the only one to laugh at my jokes for a reason...(shhh, I'm only funny to myself...don't tell).
I struggled earlier to come up with subjects, even trying to use the alphabet for help, but who knows how far I will get with that...Sometimes I lose creativity if it isn't spontaneous, other times I need direction so badly, a writers gps would be handy. Do they make those? Seriously, someone should invent one.
All of the above disclaimers posted, yes, that is what I consider them, because you will either tire of me, or wonder what the hell I am talking about. I could hope that you will wonder, by at least day three, what randomness I will pull out of my brain on Day 4. Let's go with that and if you don't wonder and you don't read, it's okay, no one will ever know. I won't tell, but mainly because I won't know. This blog challenge is for me and to keep my brain and creative juices flowing. I am going for the Ninja blender mode, though that could be a little aggressive in effort...perhaps a regular blender speed for now and see how it goes, yes? Good.
My first act of randomness is this....seating for two, party of one. Sounds pathetic right? Not really, I am not being tragic in any sense of the word. I have been known to be dramatic, but in this case, it is because I have two tickets and no one to go with due to a last minute cancellation by an ailing sis. (RSD can be a bitch, look it up).
I debated on asking friends if they wanted to go to the baseball game with me tonight, since my Hometown team (San Diego Padres) is playing my second favorite team (Anaheim Angels) right near home in The OC, but then I thought, hmm....seating for two, party of one, extra room. Boom! Okay, so not too much of a *Boom*, since it is more fun to hang with someone, especially during a baseball game, but sometimes you have to be like a radical (dude!) turtle and just follow the *EAC.
The year up to this point, since the end of January, has been one long *EAC for me, riding the tide and seeing where it takes me. Often I feel like I am being shot out of a cannon and wondering "where the f**k is the net?", but again it's about stepping out of comfort zones and feeling your way around...kind of like going to a game alone. Yes, I have done this more than once this year, because of ailing sisters (they are my sisters from other Mrs. and Misters...I am actually an only child, lol), but my season seats at "the Pond" don't count, because I know people there. Tonight will be like when I take myself out for dinner, coffee or dessert (which is basically an excuse for tea or coffee).
I will be flying solo on this mission and while I felt a little wary about it earlier, tonight I am going to bask in the arm and leg room that has been provided to me and be grateful I don't have to put my purse on the ground. (The purse and jacket having it's own seat...That is lemonade made out of a lemon).
* EAC- You know, from Finding Nemo. The East Australian Current that gifted our ears and eyes, with the cutest little Pixar turtle, Squirt and his easy going dad, Crush.
