Inspired by silliness...

TEN RANDOM THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT ME:

1. I don't lie. Not even by omission. And I quite often see through all of the lies that people tell me. Please do not waste my time telling me lies, nor waste your own time expecting me to believe them.

2. I am not jealous, nor envious. And on the same subject, I do not view jealousy or envy as natural and I do not have a lot of tolerance for jealous or envious people. Reminds me of an Erykah Badu lyric: "I don't walk around tryin' to be who I'm not, I don't waste my time tryin' to get what you got." DITTO for possessiveness.

3. I often get the impression that many people are just information or attention whores. Sad but true. I say this because it often seems that people are just trying to question or provoke me in hopes of getting some life enhancing information for their own lives, or soliciting a service, without giving or even feeling compelled to give me anything that is productive, pertinent or enriching for my own life, in return for my input. Do people really expect me to worship or to serve THEM?

4. I call it as I see it and I am rarely swayed by sentiment. Show or..."tell me something good." :)

5. Unfortunately, too many people have taught me not to care. I was once a very caring person and I still have this capacity but after hearing, so many times, "It doesn't matter...", "Don't care what other people think...", "Ignore them...", "Who cares...", "It's no big deal...," "What's the big deal?" As I saw it, I was not striving to be Mother Teresa, nor Jesus...but I was not willing to be completely and totally insensitive and detatched, either (and why are these same people so overdramatic and demanding when they want someone to care about THEM? Maybe they just like to 'milk sympathy'?).

6. This online experience has really opened my eyes about people, especially on the social networking sites: most people I meet, there, think that the people behind the profiles are not real people and that their interactions with these people are not happening in real time. Many of the people I meet believe that they should not be held accountable for their actions online, as they would be in the 'real' world. Strange...

7. I do NOT believe that "love means never having to say you are sorry."

8. ...hmmm, what should I let out of my mind today? I think I will keep it in until I am sure of how I want to say EXACTLY what is on my mind. Might even keep it in for good, because I do not believe that EVERYTHING HAS TO BE EXPRESSED RIGHT NOW! Get my drift?

9. I do not like hearing baby talk from anyone over the age of 6, nor do I like being talked to like a baby, DITTO 'pet' names for humans.

10. Despite my spiritual leanings, I can be quite unforgiving.

...and considering what I know...I'm keeping it that way. LOL

snooze - doremifa girl

I almost forgot I wrote this song. The original title was "Nicole's Painting", recorded with French musician Dominique Dalcan under the artist name Snooze, his moniker for his electronica compositions. Sometimes perspective is all you need to appreciate and reconnect with the beauty of creation...
