Random Happenings

I received an email today from a somewhat random stranger talking about a phone call she received from an old friend and the possibility of it's significance and the coincidence of her emailing me is quite interesting as I've been thinking a lot lately about how things seem to happen at certain times in my life. Not necessarily personal things but in other peoples lives around me. Like jobs; I've had several where someone who has been employed for 5 years or more is now (FINALLY) getting fired...like; Why now? Why in my short time there? Why not before or after me? I always notice this stuff, the list of things is huge. Like relationships; meeting a couple in a "seemingly" happy relationship and a month after meeting them they break up...and again I ask the same questions.
I suppose these are bad examples and making you think to never come around me or something of great negative significance will happen to you but trust me, there are many positive things like these that happen around me, I just can't think of what they are.
I recently needed something and out of nowhere an old friend who offered the service I was looking for contacted me and hooked me up. I'm one of those people who believes everything happens for a reason no matter how small or big the event. The other night I drunkenly felt the need to have a nervous breakdown and in doing so I emailed a random chick who is not only a dwarf (maybe midget) but is missing both her limbs. Every photo she had of herself she was smiling. It wasn't a normal smile but an infectious smile and I couldn't help but think how great she was. Maybe I interrupted her life just long enough to give her the random thoughts I'm having these days. I know I'm not alone...my random email told me so :)

I am a Slacker

It's true...I am a slacker. I have neglected my poor blog and quite frankly it sucks. There are several hobbies of mine that give me total satisfaction and great joy...ok well there's 2.

Blogging (formally known on paper as Zines) and photography.

Cartooning use to be one of them but it slowly slipped out of my grasp and rarely exists in my life (this makes me sad). It seems as I grow older and this society expects me to mature I forget my Peter-Pan like qualities. I am fighting tooth and nail not to let this blasphemous fate happen to my other joys. I have a whole list of things I want to blog about that will probably never see the light of day. I am doing my best to turn things around and entertain those who pay attention to me. I often think I come off as self absorbed but truth be known I take great pride and feel great joy when I can entertain or make others laugh, even when it's at my expense. Life could totally suck for me but if I make one person happy it cushions the suckyness.

Why can't some rich person or company just come along and hand me a ton of cash so I continue doing what I love? I know there's someone out there (wink wink nudge nudge). What happened to the days of court jesters? It doesn't seem to be the American way anymore. We work for pennies and in turn lose our free time and will power to do the things we love. I apologize for the bad post but at the moment it's all I've got.

Some days I wish I was on that island in the TV show LOST...it seems so much better than here. (plus Jack and Desmond are hot...and Hurley is the coolest ever!)

here's a random photo of the California fog...this makes me happy too
