Famous People!

I wrote to 2 famous people this week. Should I be feeling something different? I had to say something to Vincent Gallo about his Indie film "Buffalo '66". He looks a little like Joaquin Phoenix and has this rough sexiness about him that only someone like myself can really appreciate. However, after reading his writing I'm wondering if I haven't made a huge mistake. He has one section where he's actually auctioning himself off to any paying female with $100,000 on hand for the night. I'm sure this is a big joke but who knows. Men will have sex for free so... And then I saw that he had hand painted some $10 t shirts and was trying to auction them off for anywhere between $160 to $1100, you've got to be kidding me.

The next person I sent an email to is the author of "18 seconds". Supposedly, the title was written in reference to our short term memory before death. Supposedly right before we die, there are 18 seconds of short term memory which can be accessed by a pscyhic who can actually pick up on your energy. If you haven't read the book, I would strongly suggest it. And by accessing some of his information online, I found that there are at least 2 other books written as a sequel. That's fantastic!

But I was wondering just how many people must send their emails to people like this. Both were sent as compliments. But unfortunately, I hate to be viewed as a lower form of life and do not often waste my time from fear of being considered a "groupie". I'm not the kind of person who would approach someone and tell them how much I love their work. I would just think it and smile and say hello.

Why do they stop making it?

have you ever noticed that once you get really hooked on a product, they stop making it?
What is the deal with that exactly? I don't know if you remember the original
smell of Calgon in the bottle. It was mint green in color and smelled like the ocean!
Absolutely addictive the smell was so enticing!

Anyway, they just stopped making it. I ran around to every Kmart, CVS, Walgreens, you name it I looked for it everywhere. Within a month Calgon came out with an entire line of products. All of them bathwash except none of them were it. There was peach, strawberry, cucumber, mint, ocean breeze, cotton, you name it they had it all except for the one I loved.

Edy's has disappointed me to no avail. Edy's was the only one except for Friendly's to sell a sorbet or sherbet with chocolate chips. Not just any sorbet, but raspberry sorbet with dark semi sweet bitter chocolate! What a combination! I had to dig into the freezer for you on every occasion because I'm thinking everyone loved it like I did and they just couldn't keep it on the shelf.

Now I'm prone to buy my own sorbet and mix in some dark chocolate chips.

Just got back from Pizzeria Uno. I went specifically for the apple, gorgonzola cheese, crispy chicken salad. And guess what?

They stopped making it!

Things Most People Don't Know About Me!

Most people don't know that I have an aversion to football. Just never got into it.
It seemed to be the "prime time" enemy! How do you compete with
a football game? Who wants to. If he loves the game so much, I
probably won't like him anyway. Never loved a spectator! That
being said, you can put on a soccer game for a full hour and fifteen
minutes before I complain. Soccer players are beautiful, you can
see their legs, their form, their aggression, and their skill all at the same time!

So I've established that I'm not a sports person.
I do love to dance, do yoga, be anywhere at all around water, eat really good food, and hang out.
I am very good at interior design. I totally understand the concepts of different designs and love
the process. Sometimes people take a little while before I can get them to trust me but once it's
done, it's Golden!

Everyone knows that I love to read but just how much I love to read, they could never guess. It
is my saving grace. I love to learn! I have a passion for it. Isn't it wonderful that you can get up
and learn something new everyday.

Welcome to the Learning School! The Earth! Your Life! Your prime Example!

Most people don't know that I play baseball when I first meet people! The first 30 minutes of
our conversation. I wait for the person to say something that is a "dealbreaker". Or do
something that is a "dealbreaker". Something like, talk bad about an ex. Now that's always a
good attention getter for men who have nothing else interesting going for them. Wow, they can
knock their ex. And remember ladies, if he's talking bad about her, he will talk bad about you
too! Besides, this is not interesting!

Other deal breakers might be: chewing with your mouth open, picking yourself in any way in
front of people (take the grooming to the bathroom). Talking too loud, talking incessantly, and
especially trying to be "interesting" when you should be "interested"! Know what I mean. If I
ask you what you do for a living, try to keep it at a minimum, your job is only interesting to you!

I wonder if it's too much to ask for people to actually know how to "share". That is, while I'm
talking, you listen. And I will do the same for you! And sometimes we could just both be quiet!
Comfortably quiet, for long periods of time!

Then I will know that you're sane. That you're not just talking because you're nervous or
because you somehow think I want to hear every little tiny detail of your life.
Somewhere in the Middle God Please!

If you Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill HIm!

If you meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him is the name of a book. Hold on one second, let me check and make sure. Yes and it said "a pilgrimmage of Psychotherapy". Which means in short, if someone is claiming to be "the one" head for the hills.

This weekend I went to a Chi Gong workshop. I accessed this information through a website known as "meet up". Anyone can post their class and schedule for yoga, dance, dinners out, or whatever and I had been particularly interested in Qi-Gong. It's known as Chi in Chinese and Qi in Japanese and Korean but basically it means "energy".

I am certainly no stranger to the "new age" category and have delved extensively in "rebirthing", inner child workshops, psychotherapy, herbology, homeopathy, chiropractic, massage therapy, and a little Ayurveda.

Almost as soon as I came into class, This "guru" of Qi Gong, which he insisted on calling Yi Gong because he spent so much time in China, started criticising the "new agers" and then later in the class criticised the yogis!

What the F__k! Anyone knows that the basics of common sense and good manners would teach you as a teacher never to criticize other modalities if you are going to come across as a "Spiritual" person. And this guy had the bad manners and audacity to say that he certainly considered himself to be more "spiritual" than these new age people who were out there talking about manifesting a parking space and how they got this and they got that simply by thinking about it.

I almost walked out. But knowing what I know and being where I've been in life, I know that noone is perfect, Not even the Guru!

One of my girlfriends lived in Hawaii for a while. She said she went to see a "Holy Man" and after giving her a fantastic massage, wanted to know if she would like her "Yonni spot" stimulated. She then asked him and he proceeded to tell her that he would place his finger inside of her to stimulate what we call the G spot until she orgasmed! She was absolutely livid and still telling people this story some years later. And she then would say, "A Holy Man", can you believe it?

I then proceeded to tell her, if you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him! And her reaction is the same as all of ours when we first heard this comment, "what do you mean?" I said "Anyone claiming to be the one, is misleading you with false information." We are all a part of the whole, noone any less, and noone any more. In this particular case, the man was just a man. Doing what most men do, except claiming some type of status undeserving of him.

So my advice to you is "Know that we are all in the process of learning". If someone makes a mistake, don't shoot the messenger. We're all adults here, noone can take advantage of us, and maybe these people claiming to be spiritual gurus, can learn something from us!

So if you meet "the Buddha" on the road, don't kill him, just walk away!
