So an hour ago I started out posting my repost from Facebook with regard to the uproar over legalizing gay marriage (I think. I only read 3 posts in from people ranting about the Supreme Court and gay marriage--hell for all I know now that I think about it they could have been in agreement or made it illegal. I merely know the people posting, will never make a change in our current government and just wish it all could work out so everyone is safe and happy). Somehow I went off as I reposted and made the mistake of proofreading. No good ever comes of that. Well no short post ever did anyway! Hence blog page number 2 was inspired in the spirit of "staying on topic" on having the original idea get it's "day in the sun". I say yay me for learning to keep on track and not confusing people to the point of idiocy, as sitting in a room full of "me's" would not be something one would advise without a team of psychologists, psychiatrists and someone from a de-escalation task force trained in "talking people down" present anyway. We exited the other post for a new page on the note
"Someday I will just link the blog in Facebook but it takes time."
and we are off to the races with the rest of my head and heart emptying on to "paper" sort of speak (being fully annoyed that I am now pausing for use of terminology in a sentence, spelling of words like seatbelt as my annoying spell checker wants me to believe it is two words when clearly Websters says the proper use of seatbelt is one word when referring to the thing that secures you in your seat, and my punctuation for proper effect in a sentence as I rarely use "action words" for describing things it's all about the placing of a comma that gets people pissed at me or I lose the desired effect of a description)
Somehow blogging seems like saying "I have something important to say, read me please, I am worthy" and I am so not there. What do I know? Too much and not enough it seems, or too smart for my own good, possibly just too emo to put it all in usable form? Mostly too critical of myself to just let it all go and too emotional to make easy sense of all I say. Laughing at myself now thinking "what do you expect from someone who can write a proper sentence, use punctuation effectively, spells correctly for the most part and has a good grip on the English language and can type it all out at a 100 words a minute. Put me in front of an English teacher and ask me to break it all down by verbs, vowels, adjectives and not use run on sentences then I am doomed. Try to get me to do a whole page in the same person and not refer to myself 100 times in the 3rd person and will fail every time. So there. Someday I figure someone will find this here, share it somewhere and I will find a following, surely it will be people who A.)Felt any of the things I do and have always been afraid to tell anyone. B.) Just never bothered to put it all out there like I do. C.)Find me to need others to confirm my crazy as endearing and hope I don't ride off on a crazy train as they generally like being around someone who is honest, will jump in front of a bus for anyone at a moments notice and ask questions later. D.) Have tons of free time and get my sense of humor. Oooh ooooh (see what happens) I also do not proofread before I post. When I go back and check my work on anything it only makes things worse. I realized my best work is done subconsciously. Somehow instead of adopting dual personalities, I suppose, I have just separated heart and mind. While my heart was breaking my mind was working double time to pay attention to all the shit I would need to get by in life so I was left a babbling lump of broken heart and stuck at a minimum wage job all of my life. As I write this (epiphany's are my stepping stones) I am now going to have to sit and ponder all the possibilities that could have made that determination for my life. Why did I end up "like that" while others succumbed to the abuse and hurt? Why didn't I just get angry and take on a life of crime and self destruction? Why do I love and trust everyone so much as opposed to being hateful and alone? Is there a God? Are we all actually part alien from all the abductions? Is the universe really like a bad Twilight Zone episode and we are little puppets with giants above our little dome controlling us? Do I end up listening to too much History and Sci-Fi channel shows thanks to my annoying husband who doesn't seem to love comedy and action movies like I do? Possibly. The only freaky part is when I have ideas, long before I see them on TV or the Movies, and the shows seem to confirm something I have thought or felt. Then I wonder, if I will ever be the one, that says something prophetic and will I get to live to see it through? It doesn't really matter to me. Who am I kidding it does. When your whole life is, in hindsight, lived hoping that fairy-tales do come true and Prince Charming does exist, and that never came true--and you have always been told to "make a difference" "don't be a waste of breath and space" and care for others so much, it would be amazing to be someone that a higher power could use to spare others pain and suffering. To make it all "worth it" for all the suffering and loss. To have it have been for a reason, to have mattered. I am never going to cure cancer, or solve world hunger. Hell I rarely leave the house, much less the state, or country. I have never been able to keep a savings account. My life has been full of dreams. Until recently it had been full of aspirations of greater things. Which slowly turned to a little hope. Which was all backed up by working hard and being honest. Willing to reach out and help anyone. Always hoping for a miracle. A winning lottery ticket. That amazing job that paid so well (thank you Wendi==sister--for dashing that hope) or fluke that would allow me to travel. buy the finer things, and now more than ever to have a plastic surgeon on speed dial so I could stand to look at myself in the mirror.
and that rant will have to come to a close. lost the momentum when I realized I had to move this to a new page due to content being completely off the subject of gay marriage and not wanting to lose sight of the importance over there. The dog is snoring so loudly (Meathead, aka Schmootsypoo, Dashmutenpoop, Meatycakes our 150lb rescue)
I keep thinking it is something else, like the kids coming back from swimming--probably left an hour ago now---and I was supposed to be faxing documents so we could finally have medical and dental insurance that we so desperately need before the kids need dentures and my feet, calves have to be amputated. So off to real life with a head full of something and heart full of the same. Til I find quiet alone time again and a worthy cause gets me going, some moron breaks my heart or the evil in the universe prevails over me again at some unfortunate time--be well, hell live long and prosper and guess what---I can do the "Mork from Ork" hand shake due to an incident of being unsupervised while visiting my dad and the loss of tendon use in between my ring and middle fingers. Who know Robin Williams and I could have probably had amazing conversations and that laughter isn't always the best medicine, however it is a good cover and acts like a band-aid until something rips it off.

Can't We All Just Get Along???
Again re-posting my Facebook post for the day here. Someday I will just link the blog in Facebook but it takes time. (refer to the next blog post "Tami-Turbo-Tangent-Totally" Fasten Your Seatbelts).
Tami Tillman shared Zig Ziglar's photo.
My post the other day, to go with this, would for the most part go with the posts I am seeing straight out of the chute with regard to gay marriage. My stance on all of it, and I am pretty sure I won't be losing anyone off of my friends list today (I hope), is that if you are happy, you aren't hurting anyone else, you work, pay taxes, attempt to be a productive part of society, then who cares who you marry. Who cares who you love as long as you are both happy? Would you want to live in a society filled with people who are living a lie? People stuck in marriages to make other people happy or to fit "the status quo"? Life is too short. I still don't know position on "God" and any good Christian should be using the bible as it fits their life. I have never heard that it said anywhere that we should take up using it to pass judgement on others. As I have always said, if He wants us doing something in particular, or in His name, He should show up and ask. I would have a few questions for Him as well. I know a few "kids" from my generation that would have made a few other choices in life if someone had passed judgement on the people who ruined their innocence. I say today, as long as they find comfort in life even for a moment and their choices aren't hurting anyone, then He would be happy. I also know that no matter what you do as a parent that kids are born with their own minds and feelings and maybe everyone should stop and see how they might feel in someone else's shoes. I guess those that pass judgement are one's that refuse to do just that. Have a blessed day. and I say unless you have met someone who has died, met God, got a list of things that are considered forgivable and what condemns you to hell, then maybe you should stop and think that maybe judging others is a sin. I would rather risk my chances at that gate with a group of gay people than a bunch of animal torturing, wife beating, child molesters. And if the latter are being forgiven and let it, then me and my gay friends can probably endure the 3rd realm of hell anyway, we've probably survived worse in this life and at least we would have each other. Peace love and rainbows people.

And How I Got This Way....
If you look through my friends list you will see, very early on I was blessed with the awareness that I could become a product of who I had the misfortune of trying to control me, or surrounding myself with people who were what I wanted to become and I knew would protect me and inspire me. Each and every person I call a friend now had that "something" that was wonderful, endearing, honorable, lovable. I still can't say that there is a God or that he protects me however He may very well be the 'thing" that inspired me to look for all of you and helped you find me. I think I just found a higher power I can believe in. wow. (no wonder I cried all morning)

Who I Am.
Yesterday at work was funny, going thru my calls trying to follow the "script" we are supposed to read that continues to escape me but I was managing to pull off (so I could rise above my ranking of almost dead last, which is not like me, but who I am I suppose today). Then I get a call. I look at the d.o.b. and she was born in 1923. Her membership had expired and her insurance lapsed. She was trying to sell the Cadillac the she hadn't driven, she realized, in about a year but needed to get it legal to sell it. I just sat and listened as she talked about people talking about trying to buy it from her. To get her membership back in place and get insurance on it would have probably cost a couple hundred dollars. Then she mentioned driving it to someone who wanted to buy it. I finally stopped her. I asked how many miles it had on it and got on my PC and blue booked it for her. I asked her if anyone had offered her anywhere near $3500. She almost choked. I said "this is just a personal note, first tell me you won't be driving this to anyone alone, then go to DMV get a temporary tag for probably $1 a day, they should have 3 day trip permits, then tell everyone you are asking $4500 and let them talk you down to $3500, make them come get it and make someone give you a ride to get the temporary tag". She almost started to cry. She doesn't have internet and needed all of my information to write a letter about me. It took another five minutes to get all of that information together. Total call time probably over 20 minutes. No one chimed in to ask what I was doing or why it was taking so long. I hope someday that letter reaches AAA and I am blessed with reading it. The next 3-4 calls all told me how nice I was and thanked me for being helpful. That is me and who I will always be. I'm not even sure why I had to share that. As I sit in tears today for so many reasons good and bad. Grateful for what I have, wishing I had accomplished more and knowing that one little old lady somewhere in CA won't be taken advantage of and wishing I could just go help her. <3
Prior to that was the FB post to my best friends dad.
Prior to that was the FB post to my best friends dad.
I stayed off here on Fathers Day for a few reasons. Had to make sure today to tell you thank you. Thank you for being my dad. For showing me what dad's were supposed to be to a little girl who needed it so desperately. For loving me like your own, protecting me when it seemed no one else ever would and for making room for me when you had so much on your plate already. Love you dad.
I am still in the process of trying to inspire the San Bernardino Sheriff's department to solve the 1999 murder of my bio father and his wife. My step-dad is not worth mentioning except for the fact that I know what I know about cars to have helped the lady above because of him. I am well aware now that was his way of keeping men away from me, but it didn't work out the way he planned, ha.
and not to forget the hardest post ever.... a feed from Facebook about my late friend (Brutal) Julie (Morgan) Lovelace-Ochoa (Griffin) from her husbands page:
