So Sorry

So sorry for not posting. It's been so busy at work that I haven't had a chance to think of anything for this blog, let alone write--as I should be doing no matter what. 

I promise good stuff is on the way. Please post anything you wish to discuss. 

Keep writing.

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

The Brightest Flame

Image
The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

What Are Those Chinese Golden Nuggets?

Image
I was in a Chinese restaurant buying some food and saw a poster with these golden nuggets all around a man.  I wondered what these items were, because they had a very appealing nature to them.  I found out that they are Chinese golden ingots and symbolize wealth, abundance and prosperity.  All interesting, and makes sense it was on display in a place of business, but they give me a feeling I can't explain too well.  When I see them I am inspired. I want to create. I imagine what it might be like to exist in the world depicted in the poster.  Besides the aesthetic pleasure I get from them.  Then again, gold itself is aesthetically pleasing when shinny and such.  Pretty interesting stuff.  WCM
