I don’t need to dress like woman to prove I am a man.
I don’t need to dress like a man to prove I am woman.
I dress how I feel and how I want to prove who I am.

Summer
Some say it was a cruel summer,
Some say it was a long hot summer
Others say it was a summer
When the west side is starting to feel like the east side of the mountains ⛰️ I feel it was a long hot summer.
Weddings occurred
Unless you were in air conditioning you sweated in your attire.
Hiked through a burnt forest.
Little grasses were trying to grow.
But the food was up $100 for a pound of king crab legs?
I remember these prices
What the heck has happened I really have become one of those people or is inflation that bad
All I have to say is
There was once a person who created a palace so grand that his people rebelled but there was only imaginary cake to eat.
So where am I going with this
Summer is two weeks from being over in the school world
Did time fly or was it one long hot summer for you too?

Sunset
Having saw beautiful sunsets this week
My phone definitely made the Sun the star
Regardless of how many times we see it we are still amazed and want to see it again.
The same is with snow falling
Wind rustling the trees and grass
Rain in the light or its sound on a roof
Nature is not one to be messed with
It is the longest running show there is
How many Oscar’s have you given it?

What Bell Curve?
We have all been there
Deciding if that couch is too old
Those shoes have seen better days
The pan that just looks like it has had it last day
However what stops us from upgrading?
Economy?
It is just too much right now, unable to buy a new one.
Sentiment?
This pan has cooked every meal I ever made, ain’t giving it up now.
My gave me that, I can’t get another one.
Denial?
What is wrong with that pan looks fine to me, just cooked with it last night.
If it is sentiment or denial this isn’t designed for you.
However if it is economic well listen up I may support what you are already thinking.
The economy is getting tighter and as we make sure we have enough money for this and that we are stretching the bell curve so much it is a line.
Think about it, the middle class where most of us could afford a home on a single or dual salary now needs second jobs for both parents.
Heck, more generations are living together not because of emotional needs but because of social economic problems.
Since gas has gone up there has been something else we should have bought but say sorry not right now.
If you are that positive person you make do, improvise.
Maybe you shop at Ross rather than Macys, if you shopped at Ross maybe now the Goodwill.
Does that mean you wanted to stop shopping at Macys?
Really you just do what you have to do to get by.
You say it is what it is but yet you didn’t get this year like you normally have.
But you can’t complain so you just deal with it.
Hence you slid down the curve and fell into the lower class extremity.
Whereas there were just a few of you who could keep up with the Jones’s. Buying something new every season.
The bell curve is gone or at least more of a small bump than a full on mountain.
So why oh why does media say well that is just what they like, they live that way.
However for most of society they would recognize when the pan needs replacing, or the couch is just too worn.
We are a very make do society but for most US citizens we didn’t buy the lesser quality product or replace it because we thought it was better we bought it because we couldn’t buy what we actually wanted.
Seriously, most Americans want nice things, we just can’t afford it anymore.

A Week
It has been a week
Since
Having seen one news source or any news source
Listened, viewed or heard about any social algorithm
Having any social events
It is now
Living alone, being alone
So all that is written here is pure imagination and thought

So what I am in hell anyway!
I have paid money to at least 5 celebrities who promised something but when that day came it never happened.
Trust no one.

Treaties or the future of Americans
We have been told by Trump
You will get everything you need.
You don’t need retirement Trump will provide for you.
This is where you will work and live.
Even Google states Trump says
Of course I am skeptical.
But then I was reminded of the Native American treaties and look what they were promised when moving to reservations and living the colonial life.
To be put in certain social media circles.
To only buy from certain businesses.
To only have certain friends because all others are toxic.
Sounds like we were put on reservations and are being promised the same thing Native Americans were.
Including loyalty, if you are loyal to Trump, Trump will pardon all your indiscretions.
Didn’t Trump say he would protect us just like they said to the Native Americans
They made Native Americans change their hair, their clothes, their language and still the government broke the treaties.
I don’t know about you but something stinks of skunk and it is Trump.

Fumbles
We have all said the wrong thing.
Was it because we didn’t know
the people
Or
new information
Was it because of our
Freudian slip
mood
timing
Our state of mind
Lack of attention
Or
The wrong thing to say at the wrong time.
Whatever the reason
We have made our apologies
But question is
Do you think everything was purposeful
Or
Accident?

Toxic or Possé Worthy?
You drop a piece of food on the ground?
Immediately you start to think how toxic is that food? Is it eatable? Some say no, some say yes.
For years and years and years, we have heard stories of friends and family or even strangers met on the road that may be imperfect.
These are people deemed off the path, not quite right by society norms. However, in times of strife and trouble they can be your best allies.
Take for instance Star Wars and the character of Han Solo. The mans a gambler in debt to the deadly Jabba the Hut. Hangs out in the worst of places. Then becomes all of a sudden Luke’s (the son of a Queen) best friend and closest ally.
What about in Fried Green Tomatoes where the lead female player befriends not only drunks but also African Americans in the pre civil rights south. She wasn’t well regarded as a proper lady herself but ended up the hero.
Or Adventures In Babysitting where this upper class girl sees a side of Chicago most don’t know. However, the only reason she and those kids survived, is she trusted the unknown those that seemed sketchy or even told their sorrow through blues. She was afraid but she had to decide whether to run, fight, or trust. She trusted and had the most unlikely allies.
What about Princess Diana in a world petrified of AIDS she went right to a patient in an hospital and held their hand.
To most all these people are heroes the person we admire for their bravery and respect of all peoples.
Though in recent years I have heard of bathrooms closing, walls increasing and mentions of you have to be on the list or invited.
If Wyatt Earp denounced Doc Holiday for his relationships outside of wedlock and gambling the legend of the OK Corral would maybe not exist.
As AI has limited advertising to algorithms based on likes, we forget sometimes we look at something for its shock and awe aspect not because we like it. For instance, how many of you have said look at this it is so disgusting you have to see it?
As we are being put in boxes, caves or even cages (otherwise known as hell) by AI and corporations, it doesn’t change the fact that a country singer, could turn pop star and then gain more popularity just because she has a fiancé who is a Super Bowl champion.
Taylor Swift not only broke every glass ceiling but every stereotype placed upon her.
As for myself just because I can spend 5 days in the wilderness without a shower doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate fine dining and a plush 5 star hotel (if I could ever afford one). What it means we are not all one stereotype we are ourselves with infinite possibilities of preferences for likes. I know I have never said stick to the list when it comes to guests, I have always said “the more the merrier”.
In my childhood, it was very popular saying to hear, “I don’t normally but ).
Seriously just look at Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg they have the most interesting past but are well loved and adored for personal possés.
So as you think of cutting off that friend or family member who social norms may deem toxic, but to you they may be Shrek or Donkey instead of Lord Farquhars.
Determine if the cheese so moldy and toxic that it is unable to eat or can you just chip away at the moldy pieces to see the real source of goodness.
In other words I don’t mind if my marshmallow is a little burnt for my s’more.
