Day 7, 30 day writing challenge.

 
Most people blog about the same subject everyday. I find my blog to be rather eclectic, which at the moment, I also find annoying.  Subject matters are always on the forefront of my brain, then when I sit down to write something, poof, the word trees get stingy and keep all their good words to themselves...But, lo and behold, my dictionary app's word of the day just happens to be something fascinating, 'Jiggery-Pokery'.  Definition; Noun.  Chiefly British. 1) trickery; hocus-pocus; Fraud; humbug.  2) Chiefly British. Sly; underhanded action. 3) Chiefly British (What!?  It's Chiefly British?  Well no sh!t, the Brits always come up with the best words!), Manipulation, ex.  'after a little jiggery-pokery, the engine started.'  That sounds a wee suggestive...oh my brain.  I need to wash it out with soap.  *whistling innocently*
 
I have to tell you, between, Piffle, Tatterdemalion and this word, I am looking for ways to use them in my new story...How much fun are they?  Not the most fabulous meanings, yeah, rather on the dark or moody side, but they're so much fun to say. I take that back, piffle is a word of non-sense, (much like today's post), but still fun to say...like a Dr. Seuss word.  I want a fish and I will name it Piffle (just kidding).  Okay, I am treading in the gray area between making sense and making no sense (piffle!).
 
What is the point of my blog?  This...if I read more books, (I do read and I love to read!) I would probably discover a world of Willy Wonka Word Trees...places where Tatterdemalion is used so well, it truly does bring forth the emotions for who or what is being described.  Or even a place where a fun word like jiggery-pokery can be used in a much more ominous way, then it sounds.  After all, the word is fun, but it's meaning? Shady. 
 
I'm not even really sure this blog has a point (Piffle!!).  Maybe I did a jiggery-pokery on your mind (see def. #3) and made you think there was a point.   Who knows...I just wanted to write something quick, and painless (to me, not the reader) and use those three words.  Mission Accomplished...at some point I promise I will begin to make more sense.  I have a list of subjects to write about, have I used the list yet? No.
 
Until tomorrow....take two aspirin with a glass of beer or wine, because that is what this post will drive anyone to.

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...

Mantra: I choose to be happy/excited.

  Hi!  I am back.  I posted my summation blog yesterday, talking about my thirty day meditation journey. I mentioned I would also blog about the daily mantra, but alas, I forgot.  Oops. Sorry about that.  I do believe everything happens for a reason though, after all how could I possibly write two separate blogs, about two things that go hand in hand so well?   I choose to be happy.  I choose to be excited.  I personally feel these two can be fused together.  I mean what moment of excitement didn't result in happiness, or what moment of happiness didn't result in excitement?  Though we usually associate excitement with something big, the littlest of things can also make one excited.   A few days ago, my dad called me up and we chatted for a bit.  Recently back from a trip to Hawaii, I asked my dad to bring me back a pen or two.  I love pens, they are my weakness.  It is also something small when people...

Writing. Day 19, 30 day challenge.

I am making myself finish my book once and for all tonight,  so I leave you with one of my favorite pictures I took with some new fancy app at the time. This is one of my favorite journals and pen. Until tomorrow...dream big and never give up on them.
