W...T...Censored!


Disclaimer: Relax, THIS IS NOT A RELIGIOUS PIECE. You can skip the first paragraph if you like.

Admittedly I am a lapse Catholic and you’re probably wondering what that means? Well it means that while I am not a regular church goer, I do try to stick to Lent, which represents the time Jesus went into the dessert for 40 Days and 40 nights and was tempted by the devil and so on so forth.  Well, before this becomes a religion lesson, let’s just say this, it is asked of people to give something up for Lent that is very hard to do without, as it represents the sacrifices made while in the desert, etc. etc. etc.

For Lent I gave up Chocolate (already killing me), I am trying to attempt healthier habits (In hopes of creating better ones) and my bad and apparently favorite, swearing, as well as yelling at ignoramus drivers.  The latter has proven so far to be my downfall, with that said, today’s eyeball and brain reading fiesta, is about trying to find different ways that I can express my feelings without sounding like I stepped out of Pulp Fiction (a bleeping good movie, btw). This is Troy’s idea, since last Wednesday night I managed to drop a few expletives in our conversation bringing my total for the last few days to twenty-four tally marks.  By the end of these 40 days (36 now!), the LASPCA, may be mewing and wagging their puppy tails with delight!

So here goes…a potential chart of replacement words…
NO!  Yes.
F*** Fraggles
Hell Heck
Damn/Dammit Dang/Dang it or Darn/Darn it
Sh** Shoot, Crap, Crug, Ugh (right? Sigh…)


Phrases
WTF? What the Frig? (Thank you Grant Wilson for that gem)
WTH? What the Heck!?
SOB Son of a beehive

Okay, so this is simply going to be the hardest part.  Isn’t it funny how freely some words come out of your mouth? Oops.  My substitutions may seem silly, crazy or juvenile, but if it works, it will make it a little more funnier. I am in it for the long haul, wondering if the change will be permanent, or just a temporary thing, but only time will tell.

So for those of you who can’t stop…More power to you, say a few for me AND most importantly, Orbitz keeps your mouth clean. ;)  Pop me a line if you have any replacement suggestions to add! =-D

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...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...

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. ...
