Traveling Backwards...

At Dorm Check, there's a discussion going re: why Britney shaved her head.

Some couldn't believe that it was even her picture. Others thought that she was trying to get attention. As for myself, I remembered this old-fashioned poem/lullaby.

There are so many other songs like this one, and I've made some links for them. Click on each one to read their lyrics:

This is what I believe about Britney--who is also, from what I understand, going into rehab.

Her life is in shambles, and she wants to get back to a simpler time before her troubles began--perhaps, clear back to babyhood.

Shaving her head is probably symbolic to her of making a fresh start--becoming like a baby without all of the burdens of adulthood and starting a new life.

She hopes to grow along with her hair.

If I'm right on this hunch, I find that admirable, and she should be encouraged instead of discouraged...should find more extended hands around her and fewer pointing fingers.

Letter About A Very Special Friend!

Hi, Everybody!

I'm writing to let you know that I've recently met a very special person named Russell Hartsaw! He's totally-amazing, and I want to tell everybody about him! Now don't go getting any ideas and start listening for wedding bells, but I'll have to say that Russell is definitely an answer to my prayers! We have wonderful chemistry when it comes to both being friends and being supportive of each others' dreams. While we might not agree on every single thing, we still share many of the same dreams!

We both believe that 2007 is going to be a very good year for us, and we're thankful to be sharing it together!

A few days ago, I began writing a review of a rather grumpy piece about Valentine's Day that I'd come across--and found that it was quickly becoming a blog-entry. At that time, I felt inspired to turn it into a special piece of writing that would celebrate Russell and what we mean to each other in a very special way.

It then became a piece of writing that was almost like a mini-website, and it went along with Russell's and my special dream of building other people up and getting them "out there"--along with getting ourselves "out there," as well.

Russell hasn't yet seen what I've written, because he had a website he was building for an artist who goes by Professor Cool up at the time and couldn't escape out of there without losing a lot of hard work. I told him that I hope he'll like it, and he told me that he had the feeling that he was going to like it a lot.

Russell has such a beautiful and sensitive soul--and he's truly a one-of-a-kind person!

Before I share the link of what I've written about him, I'd like to make a special announcement:

If your first name is one of the following, pay special attention, because it just might be that you have a role in this piece of writing (after you click on the hyperlink) that will promote your businesses/websites/etc. in some way...

Megan

Michelle

Kimberly

Candice

Russell (duh?)

Roger

Jacqui

Other very important names have been mentioned as well--and I hope that you'll pay extra-special attention to one of those names: Teresa

Now--without further ado--here's what I wrote:

I Hope He Says "Yes!"

In Memory Of Anna Nicole Smith

Her sudden and mysterious passing made the headlines a few days ago. Although I hadn't kept up with her that much through her life, I knew whom she was and about her various ups and downs. I can say this much--that being that she had, sadly, become a kind of cardboard figure in the minds of too many...somebody who, too often, got looked at as a kind of joke, and somebody who deserved much better. Even now, we can still judge her and make jokes about her, but this will no longer touch her. She's safe. Where she is, she's appreciated for herself, and nobody is befriending her because of some sort of personal agenda. The sad thing is that this should have been the case when she was still on this side of life. We need to find more thrill in kindness than in cruelty. Cruelty should NEVER pass for entertainment--NEVER!!! Tonight, I came across that question again re:

What do you think of the situation with Anna Nicole Smith?

As I though about my answer, this song began to play in my head, and I want to share its lyrics here as a tribute to this candle-in-the-wind.

Some Thoughts On Love, Marriage, & The S-Word...

Hosted by Sparkle Tags
I came across a question at a place called DormCheck that asked how two people who had never had sex should do it for the first time.

This is what I wrote and thought that it would be worth posting here as well...

The
best way is to first take out a marriage license; go through some kind
of ceremony (simple, elaborate, or somewhere in-between) where you
pledge your love to each other for a lifetime; and, eventually, go to a
location where you're both comfortable, relax, and begin to explore.

You
don't have to hurry love, because you have a lifetime. Be patient with
each other and with yourselves. Learn to laugh WITH each other and
never AT each other.

Before all of the above happens, however,
get to know each other first (I'm talking of minds and hearts instead
of bodies!), because marriage isn't something to enter into lightly.

You
don't marry somebody in order to have sex with him/her. You marry
somebody because this is the person with whom you want to wake up in
the morning, go through the day, and settle into bed at night--and,
because of this, you want to connect with him/her in this way that is
known as having sex/making love.

Here are two songs I'm dedicating to this question...
