What Jeans?

I went to the beach this morning. I was hoping to get there before the really hot part of the day. Apparently that "part of the day" doesn't exist here during the summer. The coast is turning this beautiful turquoise color and the water is so incredibly clear. I wanted to get a couple of shots, but it was too bright. I actually got into the ocean after bathing in sunscreen. Tiny schools of fish would swim by my ankles as my toes sank into the white sands. I only stayed for 30 minutes and then headed home to shower. I thought I was fine until this afternoon when I noticed that I was becoming uncomfortably hot. I glanced in the mirror and just saw red skin. It's not too bad, though. Drinking lots of water and moisturizing like CRAZY!  

Is one born with talent or is it learned? If you have artistic parent's are you destined to be artistic yourself? Is there a yet, undiscovered gene that predetermines the level of creativity that one possesses, if any at all? Who knows?
 Who really cares. It's just a really neat fact that I was created by two VERY talented individuals. Check out their photographs and see what I mean, literally:

Lost Girl

Lost girl protects what is precious to her Can you say the same for yourself sir Hidden pockets of misery and divine Islands of hope if only they could shine Lost girl pushes away heartfelt love Not deserved, bloodied and shoved Unexplainable expectations she's given A heart not beating, held broken, riven Lost girl bites back urges to cry A scream past parted lips, only a sigh Shaking inside, flying apart, unraveling Logic and reason, following, traveling Lost girl can't tread water any longer Deep breath, under, float, stronger Leave behind all that exists here Keep it safe, hidden from fear Lost girl wants to turn back, embrace Behind closed eyes, only her face Accept what's been said and done Move forwards, towards the rising sun

Losing Money

That's what my bosses are doing today. They make us work on Memorial Day and then question why we aren't busy. But hey, why should I care? I'm getting paid to sit here and read. It's just that sometimes I can't help feeling I'm stuck in a Saturday detention. Doesn't help that half of the employees called in 'sick' today. Maybe I'm just jealous and bitter. I did have a wonderful weekend though! We went to the lake on Saturday and couldn't have asked for better weather. Had a BBQ, soaked up some sun, went home and slept. I watched Trainspotting while I unpacked some more boxes. It was disturbing to say the least and the baby, TRAUMATIZING. Johnny Lee Miller is absolutely adorable though. On Sunday we went to the theater and saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End . I was a little 'iffy' about it because I had read it was over 2 1/2 hours long. The second one wasn't very good in my opinion, but I decided to give this one a ...

So this is INCREDIBLY rambly...just had to get some things out! Life is.... interesting I feel..... everything One moment I feel very adult-like. I have responsibilities, a career (even if it's one I don't like). I have bills to pay and I'm budgeting my money. I make wise choices and investments. I help people with their problems and I am a shoulder to cry on. I fix things and I'm in complete control. I know how the world works and I feel comfortable with that. In between this breath and the next I'm on my ass. Things aren't like that at all. Am I just fooling myself? Is it a coping mechanism for us because we are so programed to think that way? Do we really believe we have to be in control of everything? The world is constantly changing, like the ocean. We are constantly changing. I have a childlike desire to see and experience everything. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. I want to feel pain, extreme pain along with happiness and complete joy, e...
