Time distorts things

-

 Have you seen the movie The Rules of Attraction ?  It's a movie that came out in 2002 and is based on a book written by the same author as American Psycho.  Different feel, very same satirical humor. Anyhow, it starts out at a scene at a party and the narrator is talking about different people at his college.  The scene flashes on Jessica Biel's character drunkenly going into a hotel room with the football team, alluding to a "consensual" train.  The narrator goes on to say how she's now a senator's wife, "funny how time distorts things". A lot of trends that are popular these days are call-backs to things that used to be popular when I was in high school.  Most of the time, those things are light and fluffy and taken at face value.  Things get a little dangerous though when call backs are viewed through the cancel culture, neo-political correct society we live in today, Courtney Love's "kinderwhore" look, mid-90s. I fell down a rabbit...

nightmare and dreams.

 They say to never tell your wishes, because then they won't come true.  I've always felt that nightmares work the same way.

Using Hydrogen Peroxide & Baking Soda to Lighten Hair

Ladies, I'm sure you can identify with me here.  A major life event happens and you just need a NEW ME.  Most of 2019 was a struggle for me, especially after September & I took it out on my hair.  I was stressed out & I also was having a hard time finding a stylist in Hawaii that did blonde color well & didn't want to charge me an arm & a leg for it.  I've done the majority of my own color since I was 14 years old, including the beautiful plantinum blonde I got so many compliments on, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I don't think I've ever used an ampersand as many times as I have in that paragraph. Anyhow, I got some level 3 demi hair tint & went dark.  I thought that because it was demi, it wasn't as much of a commitment.   Months went by and it didn't matter how many  washes, this color didn't want to budge.  I figured it was no big deal, it should be easy for a hair dresser to fix for me....

Meditation: Day 1

-
This morning I woke up to my husband getting ready to take our older son to an appointment.  I wasn't ready to open my eyes or have any thoughts yet.  Irritation was rampant in my body.  How dare he put on a belt! Maybe it's PTSD, maybe it's just my normal anxiety, I seem to wake up with scrambled eggs for brains.  I never know which way to go first.  I really should go for a run, but i also could goto the gym, maybe I should fill out that VA form I need to send in.  I remembered the idea of a morning routine and how much calm that my arch nemesis, meditation, is actually capable of giving me.    I did a 15 minute meditation.  It was a simple visualization "hypnosis", with no breath work.  I hate breath work.  Just like how I hate lunges.  I'm not good at it and I feel like it's harder for me than everyone else.   I came out of my meditation with a feeling of calm and I was able to focus enough to sit with my 9 ...

Do you remember 1999?  I'm sure a lot of you don't, but hang on, I have a point.  When I think of 1999, I think of this Esprit backpack that my late Uncle bought me.  It was a grey, wooly bag that, on first glance, was your normal run of the mill messenger bag.  However, to keep it from the mundane, it had chunky pockets on the outside and thick straps that tucked away on the interior that could be used to convert it to a cross body satchel.   an example of 1999 fashion goals This bag allowed me to slowly dip my feet into a more mature fashion, but also allowed a safe alternative.  Fashion was leaning toward the Yohji Yamamoto Y2k aesthetic.  Fashion was becoming utilitarian & useful, yet excessive.   The popular fashion at the time was inspired by the idea that we were heading into a brave new frontier, yet it was also the future.  I mean, we'd all seen Blade Runner and Tron (the original), the 21st century had to be s...
