Batman Day and Preview Night for Comic Con.

Well, it seems almost fitting that Preview Night for Comic Con falls on the same day as Batman Day...the 75th Anniversary of the Caped Crusader, Dark Knight...etc. etc.  I am excited, because the cover, in my humble opinion, is frame worthy and will find it's way behind glass, once I transport it, safely and soundly, home.
 
As in the past, I have decided to work a half day, since the last time I took an entire day off, I wasn't really sure what to do with myself, but as I wait for the time to pass, I find myself feeling less and less inclined to work and more and more inclined to take the day off next year (wishful thinking that I will be a badge holder once again next year in 2015.  Just putting it out there.).  I feel as if twiddling my thumbs is pointless, though I am mildly entertained as coworkers keep sneaking peeks at me, as the word begins to spread around the office that "Shelly has blue hair".  Okay, so now you can see it, though my hair is still black underneath and it isn't as blue as the comment above implies.  Yes, I washed it and it got lighter and I hope it gets lighter and lighter as I keep washing it, because my bosses reaction was priceless, "whoa".  Bill and Ted reaction all the way.
 
I work for a bank, well sort of. I work as an administrative assistant for a large lending company that is a division of a bank, while I moonlight as a lifelong aspiring writer.  My blue hair, or any color for that matter is my way of telling the world I am 'Free to be Me', however I am not so sure that it is acceptable by bank standards, but I suppose I will keep it until someone says something.  One girl in the office already suggested that my next color be, Magenta.  I kind of like that idea.
 
To top off the first half of Batman day, one of my coworkers, who just found out I was going to Comic Con, popped by my desk and began chatting with me and just casually mentioned that his brother had won some type of award for some work he had done on 'The Dark Knight'.  It took me a moment to process this information, before I about fell out of my chair, but it was still cool information, somewhat of a six degrees of separation from the movie itself.  So I shared my bit about accidentally wandering near 'The Dark Knight Rises' set, when they were filming one of the major chase scenes after the Stock Market breach of Bruce Wayne's account.  That was uber cool.
 
Anyway, before my scattered thoughts, become more flighty and scattered to the proverbial comic winds, I shall sign off, get some work done and then move my arse towards San Diego where I shall immerse myself in Comic Culture, pop culture, etc...

TTFN....

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. ...
