I believe that every living, breathing person on this earth has an imagination. Problem is, not everyone taps into that glorious mind the Creator of Creators gave them. The human mind is a playground for the heart and soul, and is an enabler for dreams to become realities. Let not your creative minds be stifled. Unlock the dreams, tears and soaring fantasies that make you, you.

Ridiculous Crimes

Guess who had an idea around 1:45am and HAD to write it down? Yup. Gotta love after Midnight creativity.   ;)
________________________________________________________

Dear...huh, I guess I never thought about who these “journal entries” are written to...I guess I’ll go with...
Dear random sheet of scrap paper I found lying in my sketch book, 
I have a confession to make.  I have committed a crime.  Yes, me.  Can you believe it?  Alright, I know you think I’m being funny, but I’m serious, I’ve committed a crime! I stole something! What did I steal?  Uh...well, it’s complicated to explain actually, and I’m not quite sure how to put this but...I stole time.  
Yes, you read that correctly.  I. Stole. Time.  It is in fact possible to do, so I have discovered.  Although, before you go assuming things, I am not going around stealing minutes and numbers from various clocks, watches and iGadgets packed with digital goodness.  No, I stole time from a person.  Well...not just one person, but two.  
I know I’m sorry I’m confusing you, let me try and explain this a little better.  When I say I stole time from two people, I’m referring to the “time” I stole that they were supposed to have for each other.  Does that make sense?  No?  Crap.  Let me try something else.  
Here we go.  Picture this, A, B and C all know each other.  A sees B and C on a regular basis and as a result spends a good amount of “time” with both, leaving B and C no time to spend with each other.  Make sense now? Good.  I thought that would help things along. 
As I write, I feel like I’m treating this whole matter with a sarcastic flair.  Maybe I’m doing that because I don’t want to address the fact that I really have stolen valuable time from two people I care about a lot.  It is a whacked out feeling for sure, and I’m not even positive it’s a valid one.  What I do know, however, is that I definitely feel like I have taken something that really isn’t mine.  There’s a part of me that says it isn’t my fault because every person decides what they do with their own time.  So for me to say that I stole someone’s time is a little ridiculous, because they chose to spend their time on me in the first place...On the other hand though...a lot of that time was spent with me...And when it is expressed that time spent with another is desired, you can’t help but think “Am I in the way?” 
Hmm...you know what, I’m probably over exaggerating this beyond what it needs to be and yeah right now it’s a bit dumb.  I’m not in the way at all.  Then again, if I’m not in the way, why does this sense of guilt keep nagging me?  
Ah, I get it now.  It’s past one in the morning, and generally, things don’t make any sense at this point.  So time for bed.  I’ll continue this conversation another time.  
Goodnight!

Every Minute

This is kinda what I'm thinkin' lately.

Again, thank you Sara Groves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Every Minute by Sara Groves

I am long on staying 
I am slow to leave 
Especially when it comes to you my friend 
You have taught me to slow down 
And to prop up my feet 
It's the fine art of being who I am 

And I can't figure out 
Why you want me around 
I'm not the smartest person I have ever met 
But somehow that doesn't matter 
No it never really mattered to you at all 

And at the risk of wearing out my welcome 
At the risk of self-discovery 
I'll take every moment 
And every minute that you'll give me 

And I can think of time when families all lived together 
Four generations in one house 
And the table was full of good food 
And friends and neighbors 
That's not how we like it now 

Cause if you sit at home you're a loser 
Couldn't you find anything better to do 
Well no I couldn't think of one thing 
I would rather waste my time on than sitting here with you 

And at the risk of wearing out my welcome 
At the risk of self-discovery 
I'll take every moment 
And every minute that you'll give me 

And I wish all the people I love the most 
Could gather in one place 
And know each other and love each other well 

And I wish we could all go camping 
And lay beneath the stars 
And have nothing to do and stories to tell 
We'd sit around the campfire 
And we'd make each other laugh remembering when 
You're the first one I'm inviting 
Always know that you're invited, my friend 

And at the risk of wearing out my welcome 
At the risk of self-discovery 
I'll take every moment 
And every minute that you'll give me 
Every moment and every minute that you'll give me 
Every moment and every minute that you'll give me 
Every minute

Late Night Ponderings

Ok, it's only 12:46am, so maybe it's not that late. But here are some current things on my mind.

Thought 1: Balance of time: How do you do it?  To what, and more specifically who, do you devote what little time you have left?

Thought 2: The following thought process is true for people who desire these two idols in their life.
Approval Idol: I don't care what position I get or even where I end up as long as people like me.
Power Idol: I don't care what people think about me as long as I have a position of power.

Struggle much with either anyone?

Thought 3: It takes just as much strength to hold on to something as it does to let it go.  I believe this is true.

Thought 4: When do you ask for help and when do you just hold out till the end by yourself?


P.S. For those of you who were all excited about Project Runway All Stars, I regret to tell you that is a let down.  Project Runway minus Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Michael Kohrs = sadness.  The new people are really good designers and models, don't get me wrong, but it's just not the same.  Again, UBER sadness!
