my life in pictures

this is another one of those survey things forwarded to me by a friend. it turns out she got it from another blogger (this "another other blogger" is a girl i've met briefly and superficially and i always thought she was a pretty cool, kick ass girl but when viewing her blogs realized what a judgemental fool she was because despite all her strong convictions and the ever so high opinion she has of herself, she is loathe to realize that some of the things she despises in others are the things that make those people happy. ironic when you consider that all her disdain and distaste equates to someone who must be very miserable to have a life full of observations that piss her off, disappoint her or annoy her. mind your own business and choose happiness. because my ultimate goal IS happiness and when that happiness comes in the arms of my husband and smiles of my amazing children, i consider myself very lucky, thank you very much.)

but i digress...

what i've been instructed to do was answer the following questions, google my answers for images and post one of the pictures from the first page that comes up.

now i absolutely had to put explanations on some of them because, well, you'll see.

1. the age you will be on your next birthday










2. a place you would like to travel to (mykonos and delos in greece)













3. your favorite place ("in his arms"... this was the only picture that didn't have jesus holding a baby)




















4. your favorite possession



















5. your favorite food





















6. your favorite color (what color is that hole?)










7. the town in which you were born
















8. the town in which you live














9. your nickname/screen name

















10. your favorite animal
















11. your current wish (that my children always be healthy and happy)
















12. your dream job (youth center administrator)















13. a bad habit of yours
















14. your favorite movie
















15. your favorite band/artist




















16. your first crush
















17. the first movie you remember seeing





















18. what you did on your first date (went to a strip bar... you and your filthy mind. and i'm specifically referring to my first date with my husband)
















19. your profession




















20. your personality (easily annoyed)

are you?

44

it's 3 am, guam time. i'm usually up at this hour anyway but tonight it's with purpose. just a few months ago i was up with a similar purpose, to see who was elected to serve both our island and our nation. (and to see who was not elected but that's another story entirely) this early morning, i'm up to see one of those elected officials swear his oath as our 44th president.

i'm not a fan of idolatry by any means. i believe in the inherent flaws that exist in all of us and save for, perhaps, fred rogers or my children, who come the closest to being people i idolize as possible, no one truly deserves a pedestal that places them too high above the general public. i do, however, believe in respect and a certain level of admiration. and though i'll admit to having a limited interest in politics, i have to concede that i have to accept that my place in this world has something to do with the place of others and the choices i make regarding the people who make choices for me are important whether my voice counts as any small technicality or not. i also have to take notice of change and my part in that change. i have to place some faith in the people who have the strength to take a position that most others would not.


so i watch this historical event which will be important to the lives of so many people for one reason or another. i listen to the cheers of people who are celebrating a change that they believe in. i see the tears streaming down faces that are filled with hope, of a dream realized and a dream come true. and more and more it adds to the growth i seem to be experiencing day to day. it marks not only an important event in our nation's history but a pivotal moment in the world my children now live in and will live in for the foreseeable future.


i can no longer cling to a disdain for politics or politicians. i can no longer be blinded by youth and rebellion and say that none of this matters to me. i can no longer throw my hands up and just accept the way the world is when there are people who believe in change, who want change and who think they can at the very least help that change along.


i have no real words of wisdom. i have nothing important to add to this significant moment. all that is left is a simple, "congratulations, mr. president." i look forward to observing how much you handle the hopes of all the people in the country you lead and the neighbors whose lives are also affected by your - by our - nation.

asofterworld.com

a web site i adore.

if you haven't checked out the links to the side or were not previously introduced by yours truly or you haven't heard anywhere what a great site it is and are a total asw virgin, you're missing out.

a softer world is a web comic created by emily horne and joey comeau. each entry is made up of real life snap shots (taken by horne) and the witticisms of comeau. the subject matter is often beautiful, sad, disturbing, hilarious, touching and sometimes, all of the above at the same time. for me, it's kind of saying a lot to say that i love this comic so much as i don't normally like web comics.

i frequently update posts to show my latest favorites from a softer world. posted here are a few of my recent faves. if you can't read the words, check the site out for yourself. as a matter of fact, check it out anyway.

and when you do check the link out -- because you really should -- hover over the comic images and a little dialogue box will pop up. you'll see...

this one is my favorite.
