Single Syllable Challange

This weeks challenge on the GBE 2 is the

Single Syllable Challenge

How does one write such a thing, when the very thought takes three words, with at least two syllables each?

Crap! I already blew it!
There are no apt words for syl la bles!
 
Do over!

 

Oh well, it still sounds like a fun thing to try.
I’m good for a dare of this type. I have a bit of time to blow, so here goes.

 

See Spot.
See Spot run.
See Spot run at Ralph.
Run, Ralph run!
Spot bites!
See Spot bite Ralph.
Bad Spot!
See Ralph faint.
See Ralph fall on Spot.
Splat Spot, Splat.
Spot is now a spot on the ground.

 

A bit to plain?          Fine.

She was bound to his soul
Her heart wrapped in his core
Her need for him fraught with want
She sought his warmth
But found just cold hands and thoughts
She knew she must find a way to let go
But we do not run love.
Love runs us. 

 

Meh....

See spot run.

What I am thankful for....

I started this blog of things I am thankful for, then realized the stuff I was listing were probably the same things most people would be thankful for. You know; family, friends, health, a roof over our heads. That sort of thing.

So, I thought I would get a bit more personal and choose things are a little more specific to ME, and maybe things we normally take for granted.

Things I am thankful for;

1. Women
I haven’t met too many women I didn’t like.
In fact, right now, I can’t think of a single one. Every women I have met has had something about them that I liked. Granted, there MAY have been one or two that the only thing that impressed me were their boobs or legs, but for the most part they always had many other facets that were admirable or interesting
Where would we be without the Moms, wives, and daughters? I think the world would be a kinder, gentler place if we allowed the women to take over our political positions of power.

2. Sex
Again, what a dismal world this would be without sex. I suspect the lack of respect for women, and the resulting lack of sex, is one of the driving factors for a lot of the tensions in the middle east. Get laid once in a while people, it will give you a reason to live for.

3. Visual Art
I have always had admiration for free spirited people with creative tendencies. They make the world a more visually interesting place to reside.

4. Music
I love me some music! Like sex, it can change your outlook on life. It can cheer you up when your down, or be as comforting, or morose, as you might feel. It can make you cry, then smile, then tap your toes until you get up and dance like a spazzed out speed head.

5. A clean bathroom.
If you have ever camped out, or been to a disgusting gas station bathroom, you can appreciate this little item as much as I do. I think the most amazing thing of all, is that someone figured out how to put one right down the hall, or even right next to the bedroom!  That sure beats venturing outside in the cold trying to take care of business when bears and wolves are wandering around. As a secondary note in this category of things to be thankful for; I include toilet paper here.

6. Cars an trucks.
Freedom with wheels! Every really thought about the vehicles manufactured today? They are true marvels of engineering, and in a lot of cases, downright works of art. Of course, some of them are priced like works of art, and that detracts from my thanks “givingness” a bit because I can’t afford (or just won’t pay for) some of the really cool ones.

7. Electricity
Like women, sex, music and art. What a dismal world it would be without it. Flip a switch! Instant daylight! Heat at your fingertips without whacking and hauling dirty wood. There are SOOO many things that rely on it. Could we live without it? Probably, but I wouldn’t like it!

8. Big discount stores.
While I often wonder if we won’t some day belong to the United States of Walmart, I really like having a humongous store that sells everything I could possibly ever want, and many things I could care less about, at discounted prices. You can prepare for the days without electricity and never leave the store! You might need to replace your shoes just to hike all the way across the store, but hey, they have those!

9. Computers.
While they can be nothing more than a paperweight if they are not working right, look at all the wonders at our fingertips when they do! I have friends I have never met, and probably never will in real life. It connects me with people that seem to have nothing better to do than stop by and read my mind manure. What an astounding thing THAT is!

10. Manufacturing companies.
While I know there are many bad aspects of large manufacturing companies, I can’t imagine trying to make my own toothbrush, light bulbs, pencils, or any one of a hundred things we use daily.  It just makes more sense for somebody that knows what they are doing to crank these things out.

A list of ten things seems like a good place to stop.
Even though we live in trying economical and political times, we have a lot of things to be thankful for.

Here’s to hoping more people can enjoy them in the upcoming years, and the electricity stays on.

What are you thankful for?

Differing Perspective

 Sometimes we think we have a handle on aspects of our life, or that we understand the best way of looking at things, so we settle for that particular view as fact, or just accept it as the way things are.

We can even stand back a bit and think we have the whole story.

The truth is, very few things in life look the same from every angle. If we keep an open mind and continue to seek and learn, we can usually find even more to our views on life and things in general.

If we get really lucky, we can see things in ways that most others might miss.

This is where things can get really interesting.

I think we should all keep an open mind and keep seeking out the truths that are not always easily seen.

You never know what perspective we might be missing.
