Its A Wonderful Life (film): I will stick to a Wonder-Filled life…

~-~-~-~-~- 0 ~-~-~-~-~-

Hi -

Tonight I got to see the movie "Its A Wonderful Life" (1946), which I had never seen.

I have recently grown to have a great fond-ness for Older Movies, Matured Black and White movies - they are familiar, comforting, and thought provoking. And my friend Michael is a movie buff - so - Its A Wonderful Life…




“ George Bailey “, A Man - a man who at every turn was frustrated by who he is. George is a good man, a right man, and yet to the determent of "Himself" (that un-shell-Fish part) he did what was expected of him, what was right for him to do, what was in the benefit of everyone else...

I looked at my friend, Michael, while watching the movie. I was cuddled safe, warm, secure in who he is, or at least who I think he is. And I don't know the sacrifices that haunt this man. The moments in his life that he chose - for the right or for the wrong - but he chose, and he still lives with those choices...

Oh! I am aware that the Human Experience would not simply leave this to men… woman - suffer the same thing. But is different - look at Mary, she had what she wanted, she chose a more grounded existence. She sailed the world with George in a hundred - telling of his desires. She ran off with him, on the wildest adventures, to the bed room - to provide comfort and relief, no matter how the actual story worked out. She, chose to… to love George, for the man he is.  His anger is a circumstance of what she knew “metal” in him is made of, she has a house built with her hands (cause destiny told her they should be there…), she has his children, the tie that binds the heart to love,  and she has his love… All of this and more is as breaking as anything that George did or will do - but hsh was her goal.

George Bailey, broke! the fragile threads of desire, need, wants - unfulfilled, he broke. He saw what others had, and have, and went on - he aspired to the silliness, and child hood fantasy - that were real for someone else... "George Bailey"

It’s A Wonderful Life -  George is one of the lucky ones, the G-D’s answered his plea. For most men, that won’t happen, there will be no answer… I am getting misty right now - thinking of my father, thinking of Michael, thinking of all of the men I know.

It’s is not a A Wonderful Life - that is a judgment at the conclusion of life. Life is wonder-filled…

am I really Blog-ing, if there is on one to read it?

.hello-o-oo-ooo-oooo!!!!

.well, this is my third blog - here on Blogger, and this thought - attacked me -

" Am I really Blog-ing, if there is on one to read it? ".

.this train of thought is dangerous, in many aspects of life, for example:
" I think, so therefore I am - Republican " and as you can see, thinking and republicanism (wink), and an independent republican (wink, wink).  .so does this blog exist?

.because I can string together, often badly formed ideas into another form and present them, does that make me a writer? or is it that once I hang the "blog" shingle out, any effort is writing. but the 'Blog' as we know it, implies that someone, something, some force of being - is putting some effort into looking at the work. Right?

.I am new here, for what reason? - I felt "confined" in those other blogging atmospheres. I have friends (real world) and efriends (the e-world), family, business acquaintances and co-workers, dates, admirers, stalkers, creeps and the ever popular perverts - I won't qualify the quantity or quality of the beings in each of these categories, but at one point or another they existed - and that existence - creates blog-age. I don't intend to hurt anyone’s feelings, or to offend, or even to try to be controversial, I just want my journals to be some place convenient. I am not concerned with who reads them or what they read into them, as long as it is out of me. (smile) - clearly none of this is true, if I was unconcerned, then why the concern for the feeling of other? cause - it does matter.

.let's say one of my future-Ex-EX's stumbles upon a blog. and he reads a story similar to what happened to him with me! to him, this is just amazing. .and I am validated as a blog-ist, cause I have been read. .but if he knew it was me, then I am just some spiteful bitch, who never had a clue any way, blah, blah, blah!...

I am not seeing where I would need that grief, to tell my story...

.so, I ponder the emptiness…(smile)

.so, yes! a "blog" is a blog without anyone reading it, because one wrote it!

My Birthday or World AIDS Day: Dang, I have to Share! (smile)

 

Hi!

It's My Birthday!
And so far it has been a very special one!
The Events and People,

who have made an effort to making this just a special day...
Well, I am just moved, deeply…

~-~-~-~ * ~-~-~-~

I can't help remembering that it is:

World AIDS Day

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_AIDS_Day )
~-~ <*> ~-~
Wikipedia has it as: "World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. It is common to hold memorials to honor persons who have died from HIV/AIDS on this day. Government and health officials also observe the event, often with speeches or forums on the AIDS topics. Since 1995, the President of the United States has made an official proclamation on World AIDS Day. Governments of other nations have followed suit and issued similar announcements."
~-~ <*> ~-~

With that, I am lag-ing this year,
I have not gotten my test yet,
but since I am not sleeping around,
I feel like I am OOOKay!

And that is the point of today.
Whether one is being "around" or not,

"GET TESTED!".

THEN,

Tell your friends,

tell your family,

tell your minister,

tell your children,

tell people at risk,

and those who wouldn't know "risk" - if it fell dead before them...

(bad choice of words...)

The point is “ have you ever put your self at risk!“.
Then it's the example that can be set,

because my life is not just about me.

Then it's the example that can be set,

by an open discussion of this to create awareness.
and by being responsible about this,

and saying no! and insisting on testing from partners.
So that we ensure that each of our lives,

is free from this…

I see,
so much irresponsibility,

regarding maintaining ones health against AIDS.
It's Non-sense in that we would not let someone with the H1N1...

Okay, I am putting the soapbox away!
We know, this story and what has to be done...

Lastly,
Nope!
Nothing else...

The first day off the boat... (welcome to Blogger!)

Hello,

I have been looking for a new home to blog...

I have had a few accounts, here and there and got very,
un-amused... very!

So, here I am... (smile)

~-~-~-~-~-~ * ~-~-~-~-~-~

I write,
I write about my life
- often in great detail -
with clearly no reason,
other than to, share...

Depending on the amount of writing I do,
my skill set improves or diminishes as you will observe,
"if"
- that is,
you choose to follow my adventures.
I consider the word(s) and the various "marks available"
part of the written - adventure to make the page attractive.
I have been told that there is such a thing as "3 dot journalism"
- and it seems that, what has come to me as natural
- is the domain of some guy in San Francisco (a newspaper guy)
- so you will see a lot of dots... (smile)

~-~-~-~-~-~ * ~-~-~-~-~-~

On to the personal stuff,
I am a Human,
current domain is earth, heaven only knows why!
I am mostly extremely liberal,
but have a common sense ability to be very conservative.
I am Transsexual,
a woman of color,
and the "hammer of the G-ddess"... (such an honor) smile

~-~-~-~-~-~ * ~-~-~-~-~-~

Okay,

That is that!

for today...

~-~-~-~-~-~ * ~-~-~-~-~-~

And that is the way of the World,
in a new blog home...

PSs: My Music,
I am just a listener,
and I have this annoying habit of tracking the same song, for days... (smile)
that is me
- when I feel it, I want it, and it takes a lot to satisfy me
(and not always in that order.... (smile)
~-*-~
So, I am currently tracking : Cocaine: Eric Clapton
