Burning Man Costume or Halloween
Contemplate as the penetrating flavor of a poisonous concoction blends into a civilized drink. A swishing of the glass forces a melding of tastes. This dark and delightful drink begs for consumption. I oblige, smiling my wicked smile. It is my pleasure to taste of your bittersweet seduction.
A couple weeks ago, I downloaded a brand new program for Mac OSX called Gluestick. Gluestick promises that it can “quickly create graphics for your digital life.” Now, I’m not a graphic designer and I’m not an application engineer. I don’t typically create slideshows or use iMovie, but I do know that in the past, even some large graphics programs have had issues with helping me create basic custom folder icons (which led me to use a program called Viou), so I decided to give Gluestick a try.
The art of forgiving appears to be an impossible charge for the human being. I just turned 58 yesterday and my first pre-60 epiphany hit me like a ton of hearts. Dear reader, you may be someone who needs forgiving, you may be someone who needs to forgive and you don’t want to. This article is just for you, and me. I think I’ve found some answers. First let me disclose a few personal matters.
Ever since Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his running mate, folks have been scrambling for information – on the Alaskan Governor.
What is most impressive about her is that she is raising 5 kids while single handedly juggling the duties of Wife and Governor – with an 80% approval rating from her constituency. I have to add that she can wear those glasses and definately has a “brick house” body – considering she gave birth under 6 months ago.
Hearing about Ms. Palin – in the beginning I was truly proud of her accomplishments as a woman despite the fact that I disagree with some of her political stances. Like most Americans, I listened very carefully during her “coronation ceremony” at the 2008 Republican Convention. I wanted to hear and of course learn about this – “Superwoman.” Hey, after all if John McCain wins the White House in November – Sarah Palin will be “a heartbeat” away from the nuclear button, to say the least.
As I formed my gain opinions, I sought out the insight of other sister friends to accumulate a feel for what they were thinking about our newest political “Rockstar.” I watched the Republicans as they played the whole gender -card, jumping on the Democrats and that now infamous Obama comment regarding a pig and some lipstick. All of a sudden, it felt like we were all watching an episode of “All My Children” or perhaps “As the World Turns.”
Then my email box began to own up with anti- Palin propaganda – at least that’s what I thought because after all this is political “Humorous Season” and folks will do anything to raze their opponent. As I sat watching episode after episode on TV, online and through the networks – I could not figure out exactly what catapulted Ms. Palin to such stardom – except of course, the oil that’s in Alaska and her reputation for being a “Maverick” in her own party. With bravado and in a way that only Annie Oakley could, she aimed, pointed and fired “The only difference between a pit-bull and a Hockey Mom is lipstick!” I was like D-N this woman is no joke – folks betta recognize.
