Glory Box

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Just. .

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be, a woman
I just wanna be a woman

From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room


So don't you stop, being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry


For this is the beginning of forever and ever

Its time to move over...

Everyone should see this glorious woman:



My uncle is in this hospital tonight - has been for the past 3 days. Internal bleeding which caused a massive heart attack. Colon or stomach, we'll find out tomorrow. He's one of the greatest people to walk this earth. He's kind, giving, happy, never upset (i've never once seen him angry or sad my entire life), always willing to help without anything in return. We could all learn a thing or two from him and people like this.




I miss being happy for no reason.... well for a big reason without realizing it...

"Special Olympics"

For some reason our media is trying to blow up what President Obama said on a late night entertainment talk show recently.

I'm not sure people from the Special Olympics are that outraged but let me say I am in no way offended. As a mother of a special needs son I did not find it offensive at all. People that do, really need to check their emotions and why they are upset.

It's almost like being upset at someone who says something is; "retarded." Typically they are just trying to find something to pick a fight over, have anger issues, or are incredibly sensitive/defensive.

Focus on positive things, not a minor comment made that was in no way trying to be insensitive or making fun of.

The 35-year-old McConiughey has been bowling since he was 8 or 9. His advice for Obama? Practice every day.

Now THIS is how people should have reacted. This is coming from someone with special needs.

Get a grip people.

Drive

Drove back to Ohio today. I love driving to North Carolina but not from there. I always have a great time while there. Productive as well but mostly spending time with my girl Lauren is the shit.

Lots of wine, film, Kitteh, Bojangles, and of course cant forget the gangsta rap.

Im exhausted so here's what I developed:

Aidan waking up, Yashica Mat TLR:






he learned how to sign; "play". That makes me happy.

The Naked Eye

Apparently I should photograph kids...

Aidan in a rare still moment:


Amaris (my niece) and her crown:




Amaris (my niece) being a ham:



My niece and nephew:





and bowling wine induced:

James being dainty;

"No!"

Aidan said this yesterday. I literally fell on the floor. I was taking his tray from his highchair (because he was eating something messy and i'm a neatfreak) and he didnt like that. So he said; 'no'. He knew what he said and probably wont say it for a long time if ever... but I heard it and I hugged him.

I've developed a whole 3 rolls in the past week. I'm almost addicted to it... well that's not a good term to use. Most neighbors would probably think i'm running a meth lab by now.. I'm glad i live in a progressive comminity where no one cares what anyone else is doing unless it includes themselves.... mm fixer.

I have 3 rolls to develop. I'll do one tomorrow and two on Thursday. Yeah..... and I hope Scotland is on one of them...

Boston in less than a week. Wicked awesome.



Aidan listening to Tool:



Her father died that morning (she's become a good friend):

The Fragile..........

I feel like i'm a fair person until, as most people, when their emotions get the best of them.....

I dont feel like this was an insult at all but this afternoon I was checking out of a grocery store (I live in a city of close to 2 million for the record) when my 3 1/2 year old son and I approached. I'm not sensitive about him (he has fragile x syndrome/autism). I am a fairly logical person when it comes to this.

However...

He waved "Bye" to her as she was ringing up the purchase. he pointed to his drink. I asked him to tell me what he wanted (in sign language because he cannot speak). He signed to me 'drink' and 'please' She said; "What is wrong with him?" Not in a concerning but a condecending manner. It's hard to react to this except to explain in a calm tone in a short amount of time....as if she cared at all.

I'm a very opinionated person, yet calm so it was difficult for me to use logic instead of emotion in this regaurd.

I just felt as if there wasnt a point. I dont really know how I automatically came to this conclusion but I did.

I did cry when I was putting him in his car seat realizing the shit i'm going to have to deal with for the rest of his life. But when he wiped my tears from my face and waved "bye" to them as he smiled I forgot everything and hugged him.

You Think When Jesus Comes Back....

I hardly watch television but I had it on tonight for some strange reason. I saw David Letterman and some sort of tribute to Bill Hicks. Being a huge fan of Bill I just looked sideways at the television as if ; "did he really just do that?"

And yet 15 years later Dave is airing something that he decided wasnt appropriate for television. While i'm all for human evolution it seems as though he wants everyone to believe he did it because he feels bad Bill died less than a year later after this episode was banned and he thought his comedy was noteworthy......

I however do not believe that. I'd like to, but I dont.




Same bit used that night. That was banned. The Jackie Kennedy and the rifle pendant is the ultimate reason it was banned.

Which is here:


Right.

He's apparently stupid for doing so.

That's great.
