Bump it

I'm watching a commerical for an item called "Bump it". This Bump it is supposed to give you an option to lift your hair up towards the back. I can't stop thinking everytime I see these things, and women wearing their hair this way, that they must have fallen and have a great goose egg at the back of their skulls. I guess I'm not a fan.

My scribbling life

I've been attempting to write for years. Okay I've written but having it published well there is a different kettle of fish. Does one write because it just comes through? or does one write because one wants to make money? Hey why should I be different than any other artist out there? Isn't this what most artists have to fret over?....the fight twixt commerical and "soul"??? Someone once said find what you love to do and then find a way to make money out of that....well it is illegal to become a prostitute so that takes care of one avenue for me (grins)...but yes that is the way to go. I've had too many years hearing my father say to me that no one loves to work..but you HAVE TO. Why can't we love to do what we do? I do!!! Okay now can you always make a "lot" at what you love to do? perhaps...perhaps not. I hope to just be comfortable and happy and to be able to continue to express and live by that expression whether it be my words, my photos, my art etc.
I've had things published over the years...self published my own book, had a few articles published online and made money...so yes I can consider myself a published author! I am not where I want to be writing wise yet...I want a good constant stream of revenue brought in by it and so therein lays a goal. I've found a new place to write for money and enjoyment. May the muses take pity on me and inspire in me great things! here I go again...

Bill and Coo


At the bottom of my page here, there is an embedded site with a little movie in it called "Bill and Coo". This movie was made in 1948 and used all birds and some other animals as actors. The main characters are Lovebirds and most of the townfolk are budgies. It is hilarious and clever. Please scroll to the bottom of my page here and watch it...it is around an hour long. Very cute.

Fires

Fires are everywhere in BC. We have had our driest summer ever and our "rain forests" aren't looking like rain forests at this point. I ask for rain...then again I am going camping and wish for our little place to be dry and the rest wet..how selfish is that? Overall however I would take a rainout of my plans to get us rain again. Campfires all over are banned. Our desert area is at the worst...people asked to clear out of their homes...etc. Sigh. May the rain babies come to us..may they be full and fat and freshen our forests and plains and towns. I ask this of them... in all love.
