H is for Hope

Being a night owl and alone is very condusive to big idea having and random web searches. Sometimes this results in a magnificent combustion but generally the morning after thought of, “does the early bird really get the worm? or is that just another get your hopes up and trampled on theory?” Many thoughts on my mind this evening- I had a magnificently fun & exhausting weekend watching two very good friends experience the pre-marital bliss of friendship, love & the benefits of registry. Registry is for everybody else except the couple. If you care at all about your loved ones who have strong traditional values when it comes to wedding planning, you must register. It is not worth the argument, unless you have the hutzpah to elope. But the fact is : let me not generalize and give an example. I have 5 sets of really, i think maybe really pretty china that I recall spending more than a few hours of my life debating over and in the end saying “i guess, this, it doesn’t have flowers on it” and shooting the upc with an eletronic gun. Since, we’ve been given 2 separate boxes of matching china for 12 !@!@ (not from my side, however, gratefully accepted) I also have 8 sets of silverware that m & i on a whim thought were really sculpturally wonderful and weigh about 5 lbs. per fork and continue to get at christmas and birthdays due to the fact we only got 3 to begin with.
ENOUGH ABOUT THAT!
I want to talk about two things:
Why did Felicity Huffman not get best actress?
Can we schedule a demonstration in Asheville where 1000, not 200 demonstrate at Vance supporting family rights for all? I also think it would be great if we had tables set up collecting signatures for a petition and then also donations for some completely random giving that these organizations pray for, like starving children. I don’t mean to politicize starving children- but seriously, the argument has already been stated. The ad in the citizen-times could have done a lot more to serve humanity than slander and judge. So, if we organize not a protest, but a demonstration in support of LGBT people who deserve to work, live and breathe, I think we would not only have at least 1000 in attendance, but the percentage of people who actually worked on a daily basis towards helping people and seeking fair justice for all would be much greater and we could throw in a random fundraising event besides, just to twist the knife. did i say knife? i meant drive the point.
on the subject of night owl-ism. i have cut out tv. i cheat sometimes, like tonight, i watched a reality television show of sand sculpting. These amazing sand sculpting teams created sculptures but there were 2 wild cards in which pre-placed explosives were randomly ignited to two contestants during the contest. I watched it, fascinated, both by the incredible sculptures and the fact if not blown up, they’d all be washed away soon. Then I got pissed at myself after the 10th commercial about i don’t remember what, swore off television for the 93rd time in my life and unplugged it. I have either tv or internet, and i don’t mind keeping it that way.
i think that’s probably sufficient for random night thoughts for a monday am. of 1.33-
i’m mentally committing to making my blog somehow more mindful & interesting if anyone has read this far
