Revolution

First thing:
Brandi Carlile's cover of Creep. . oh man.
It's on right now, I fucking love it.
I wish I wasn't at home so I could sing along and hollar.
"I don't care if it hurts! Because I want to have control!!!"...
"I want you to notice, when I'm not around."
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
That song rocks my socks.
Hee hee. . . just to keep you all updated on my soundtrack :)
I'll post my playlists one of these days, because I think I've got it down.


Okies. Song is over, I can focus again.
I just had a great night out with some co-workers
And it's like meeting some familiar strangers.
Because going out with these co-workers,
you're not bound by the shackles of work.
You can think and act freely without worrying that a client might overhear you.
Me and one of the ladies that came out tonight talked at length about vibrators,
and not to say I didn't think she masterbated or something,
I mean, to correct that, I just never thought of her and masterbation ever at all.
So to talk with this person, who is bubbly and sweet and fucking great
about dildos and vibrators. . .it was interesting.
Then to have another girl chime and and give us her expertise on the subject,
well, that is a whole 'nother thing!!!
I guess that is a slightly graphic way to say that I had fun discovering these people.
People that I know and rely on in the workplace,
but to see them in a different light
and to be able to appreciate them in a different, more personable way.
I don't want to compromise my leval of care for the clients I work with,
but dammit, there are so many interesting co-workers I share time with at work
that I want to talk and talk and talk,
and as bad as it is, I get annoyed to be interrupeted with client-care!!!
Because I want to have 1:1 time with my co-worker!!!
Hahaha. . so awful.
I will blame my divulges on the couple beers I had.
If anyone asks.
I don't really think this! Right? It's the 3 Blue Moons talking.
Oh lord Laura. . .

Okies, onto my original original thought. . .
Writing children's books.
Let's go this way.
Recently an awesome friend brought up something about writing children's books.
He'll write, I draw.
Great. I love it.
I was thinking more about this.
Two different thoughts within this whole children's book vein.
1. How awesome was Shel Silverstein in real life?
I mean, The Giving Tree??? Dang, it's like how I live my life!!! I always want to give. Give until there is nothing left. Reading this story as a young child really helped shape that, in a way, I think. I found that to be so beautiful. All the tree wanted was the boy's company. . and she wanted for him to sit, but when he couldn't, she accepted that. I love it. Selfless giving. I like to think I give selflessly, but I don't. Not like that. I get something out of it. I feel great and I feel happy knowing that I made someone else happy. Whoa, this is not about me, back to Shel. Have you seen the pictures he has on the backs of his books? He looks like a beastly beardy man!! I wonder what he was like in his day-to-day life. He had to be one nice son of a bitch, because anyone that can put those kind words and insights into stories like that. . I mean, you have to be nice as a person, but also creative to put those morals and values into a story that will impact people. . .I bet he was nice. I wonder if he got a chance to be a father. I bet he was a good father. A charming quality in a man is if he will make a good father. The ability to say grown-up things in a child-like way. I think kids can handle big real-world problems, you just have to break it down into chewable pieces so they don't become overwhelmed by new ideas. Children would have the best reaction to real-world grown up bullshit. . kids say what they think without the worldy politics influencing their words. I'm excited to have kids someday because I'm excited to be able to talk to them. Just to say "Hey, what do you think about that?" They are infinitly interesting.

2. I want to change the world. I thought a great way to do it would be to model good behavior through raising some decent kids. My children that have hearts of gold and magical powers will heal the world by their rightous acts of goodness. I was thinking, another way of doing this. This whole healing thing. I should expand. Me and my pack of kids won't be able to reach every child and needing person that is out there! We will be amazing, but we'll still just be human. I was thinking. . .what if I could write a children's book that had such good content, that it could influence children to be better people? Share more, love more, smile more, be more thoughtful. . I don't know. How amazing would that be!?!? To influence people when they are young and impressionable to grow up and be more helpful to strangers and to be more accepting of their world and all the people in it. I feel like a level of revolution or positive change has to happen in our youth. They are the future, if they were brought up to love everyone and accept people and to have unconditional compassion. . .what a world we would live in today! So that's what it is. . .I want to write a book/collaborate on a book that encompasses some good moral values that could help bring forth generations of good people. That's not so hard right? Haha. . yeah.

Ironically I am finishing this posting on this song:
Pedro the Lion: Blueprint of Something Never Finished.
Haha
