Generally, I love to learn new things. But I absolutely hate the feeling I get when I learn new things from a commercial. Specially when it's about things like ED or MC etc.. It's like I shouldn't be getting "the talk" from my television set.
What's worse is when I can tell when the commercial is being sarcastic or ironic about one of those topics and I don't get the joke. It makes me feel dumb and subordinate. So, then I spend my extra time trying to figure it out what it means and when I do figure it out (or when I think I have figured it out) I decide that it's something I don't want to know in the first place. And then I sit in a corner and get frustrated at myself. In this case, ignorance is definately bliss.

Interpretting My Dreams
So a few days ago I had a dream about a nest full of silver eggs and I thought it was interesting so I looked it up and this is what it says:
And anyway I thought it was interesting because now I'm on this whole jewelry venture and such.
To see or eat eggs in your dream, symbolize fertility, birth and your creative potential. Something new is about to happen. If the eggs are scrambled, then the dream represents your commitment on a set coarse. It may also mean that you need to accept the consequences of your actions.
To find a nest filled with eggs in your dream, signify some financial gain; the more abundant and bigger the eggs, the more significant the gain.
To see cracked or broken eggs in your dream, represent feelings of vulnerability or a fragile state in your life. Consider the phrase, walking on eggshells. Alternatively, you may be breaking out of your shell and being comfortable with who you are.
To see bright colored eggs in your dream, symbolizes celebration of a happy event.
To dream of rotten eggs, signify loss. You may have allowed some situation to take a turn for the worse. Alternatively, the dream is telling you that something may look fine on the outside, but as you delve deeper, you find that it is not what it appears to be. Perhaps, something is too good to be true.
To see fish eggs in your dream, represent an idea that has emerged from your unconscious
And anyway I thought it was interesting because now I'm on this whole jewelry venture and such.

Plumbing
Alright well I'm in the middle of creating the blog and such to show people my jewelry. I created the blog and was in the middle of taking pictures of my pieces when I accidentally droped an earring down the sink. My heart jumped. I looked down the sink with a flashlight and everything but i couldn't get to the darned thing so I called in re-enforcements. And it was daddy to the rescue. My dad pulled apart the plumbing tid bits under my sink and fished out the little lost sheep down the drain. I was so relieved. Anyway, it just goes to show that going on one venture may lead to a whole different one. and I learned a little about plumbing.
A New Talent Unearthed
Thanks to my mother's unexplainable urge to be self-reliant, I have discovered a new talent of mine.
Well, actually I'm going to begin by telling a story. Amia's birthday is coming up soon and I was wondering what to give her. I don't really have money to spare so I couldn't buy anything. I was thinking maybe make a collage or something, but I don't know it just seemed too ordinary. So, I asked my mother what I should do. We sat and pondered and then all of a sudden she came up with the brilliant idea of making some earrings. We just happened to have all the stuff because as i said before, my mother is self-reliant. So, I designed some earrings I thought Amia might like and my mom helped me whip them together. And then began my creative feeding frenzy and I made a bracelet that turned into a necklace with a madalian. It was fantastic. I made a couple more bracelets and before I knew it I had six sets of matching jewlery and some random pieces on the side. The tips of my fingers are numb and I feel as if I'm going cross-eyed, but I'm very proud of my jewlery. I'm thinking about making some more and selling some. I think people would pay for some of my pieces.

Cynicism
I have never thought of myself as a mean spirited person, but ever since I can remember, I have been an incredibly negative and cynical person. I didn't really notice it taking effect untill I kept hearing the same words, "Think of the glass half full". What does that even mean? Why is there a glass that has liquid up/down to its midpoint? Did someone not fill it up all the way?- someone who is holding back or just extremely scared of spilling.... Or did they drink half of it?- someone who either got distracted from the glass or just isn't thirsty anymore. Anyway you choose to think of it, nobody is happy that there is a half empty/full glass sitting in front of them. Unless of course they are dying of thirst and they just happened upon this galss... on that point the glass could be filled with toxins in which case could only be harmful. This analysis could go on forever, but you see my point. Even if you are staring at a glass half full, it is just half full.
I did some research about why I'm so cynical, and let me tell you, some of the things I read were incredibly rediculous. They ranged from not getting enough attention in my childhood to having been surrounded by bad situations all my life. I hate to break it to you, shrinks, but nobody gets enough attention when they are children because that's all what children want and parents only have so much time. And life is dredfull, no matter what you do to try to avoid it. So instead of hiding behind your loose theories, maybe you should just come to terms with the fact that you are one of the lucky ones. Yes, I said lucky. You see, people who still believe there is magic in the world are much morel likely to be disapointed with life, while people like me see the world for what it is, dredfull. Yes, it does have potential, but untill humans learn to be perfect, the possibilities will stay just that- possible. And if you think about it, people who have guilded ideals will never be suprised, they will be proven correct for a moment if something goes there way, which I will admit is satisfying, but it will never be as quenching as being proven wrong. I love being proven wrong about my mind set. When I see acts that illustrate that there is a fantastic undertone to this ugly world we live in, I get the warmest feeling. So you see, in the longrun, I'm just as positive as the next person.

The Talent of Being Flawed
I believe that everyone has talents, whether they be discovered or hiding around the corner in the cobwebs of your mind. If you haven't found your talent, let me asure you that you have one. Everyone has one and it is what unites us all. The talent of being extremely and undoubtibly flawed. I know what you're thinking, "how is being flawed a talent?". Well, I think about it like this: When we make mistakes, we learn, which is why we are here in the first place. Mistakes allow us opportunity to be humbled, which is also a commandment. When we mess up, it is one of the many ways to learn who we are. Although, they can sometimes be embarrassing, life ruining, or even deadly, mistakes are huge blessings that help us pave our way across this barren wasteland we call life. And hey, why not plant some flowers along our way? Thats why being flawed is a talent.
