Happy Anniversary BTS!

-Jennie Nawrocki

You all talk about how technology is the biggest help to our society.

Seriously, I think personal hygiene was.

Imagine living with the barn animals to stay warm

Or

Dumping your chamber pots out the window

Or

During a blizzard or heavy rain having to use an outhouse, worse yet the forest basin

Or

swimming in the ocean, seriously the polar bear plunge just to rinse off

Or

A time without toothbrushes

Or

Leaves as TP

Or

No soap to clean wounds

So as we all complain the internet is down

Just remember you only flush and wash your hands with soap and water after going to the toilet these days

Everyone says the first of the month is the best

A new month

A new beginning

To me I have never understood

Except the calendar 📆 page turns

So for those first of the monthers

Happy first of the month

“The face that launched a thousand ships

And burnt the topless towers of Ilium.

(The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, quoted in Hope Moncrieff, 230)

World History

There is a period of time just after the Bronz age where everything went dark and the dark ages began.

It is a messy time because it is mysterious how civilization seemed to disappear.

Even our NIH archives mention it might be the result of the Sea People.

Could it be connected to the Trojan War some archaeological people think maybe

Fact is a thousand ships did sail and a there was evidence of war at the site of Troy. Troy is modern day Ilium, huh which also sounds like Iliad. There is also evidence of a very beautiful woman.

I don’t care who portrays her now what I do care about is you all forget that a story can be retold by anyone, with their own perspective.

Homer just decided to write it down. It’s an oral history, told by several people. He was a journalist in the form of a poet.

Homer is the equivalent of Elton John writing Candle in the Wind

He took a beautiful lady’s story that everyone admired and turned it into a song.

Homer took a war and made Saving Private Ryan from it.

When you are a archeologist or anthropologist you have to make sense out of this

And this

And this

And finally this

Something happened.

Then stories were told.

Then Homer wrote a poem.

Then more stories were told.

They say fiction is always based on fact, could Harry and Sally be real? Maybe? But the stories told by the people in between the scenes definitely were. Seriously maybe somewhere sometime a person always ordered stuff on the side.

Could that be retold by persons of other cultures certainly, certainly because we all know love is universal and we also know fights start over the stupidest things.

Be positive

Be trusting

Manifest your destiny

Putting into faith

Is extremely difficult

-Jennie Nawrocki

If I was on Twitter I would have tweeted

I have thought for years that you have been kind, nice and respectful to me

And maybe even very supportive.

I am very grateful thankful and appreciative for all the support

I am sorry if I ever took it for granted.

Happy birthday Onyx!

My mom had five kids

Divorce within the first year of the youngest life

Found a house

Went to school

And worked full time

While making everything from scratch

Because the microwave wasn’t invented yet

I looked in the mirror

I am single

Never had kids

And am writing because I know

All the mess I make is mine

Mom is not there to tell me to pick up my things

Or clean my room

And remind me to put things away away

Have I accomplished anything she has

No

But I still respect her for everything I learned

-Jennie Nawrocki

Whether this life

Or another life

You put out good energy

Or so they say

To have good energy

In the next life

So without

Further ado

Focus on peace

And be like water

Just like Bruce Lee

Because I feel the 🌊

-Jennie Nawrocki

Worked hard

My whole life there has always been a push

do more

Do this do that

In a dream

I said I would die on that hill

What am I dying for

I was so stubborn I don’t remember what

I feel like I am supposed to do something

But not sure

Could someone tell me not in a dream

But then again

Someone else said

It’s all downhill now

Then another said

Let’s get her fired

Then another said

Ok go

So what ever happened last week

Obviously is my downfall

This week

They don’t care what happens anymore

I really pissed off some people

And I don’t know how to fix it

Seriously I know these signs

I have seen them all before

Someone else said

It ain’t looking good for me

The end is near

They have been telling me

So close

We are so close

-Jennie Nawrocki

Well the world is turned upside down

At least from my standpoint

Nothing we knew in the past

Is here today

The future is only known to the chosen ones

Or is it manifested

Either way

I’m pretty sure

Nothing is as it seems

For I was sung to

If it is obvious

It ain’t the real story

So while I live in the world

Of obvious

They live in a world of obscurity

Frankly I like the obvious

I am tired of guessing and figuring out riddles

So I will just be oblivious
