The preceding image(blog) was a cool reflection I took with my iPhone in the foyer of the Cirque show in Vegas ~ Beatles Love...
This one, is in the same area, a blur of colors...I would "love" to see this as fabric?
And then, there was the ceiling of the same foyer...I don't know...everything there just really popped for me, all the color and light...
Oh, and if you haven't noticed, I gave the blog a face lift...or would that be an eye lift........don't be scared!!! lol;)
This is a photo, I live blogged from Vegas via my iPhone...I love the color, I love the reflection and composition...and well, it is shot in the foyer of the show, LOVE;)
Who are you? Who am I?
I have had to confront this with myself, specifically of late.
I have had to think whether I define myself or others define me.
Do I define my value, or do you?
Well, after 35 years and counting, I think I can answer this question.
I do.
I have a desire to be desired, loved, liked, admired, valued, depended on, etc as do most people. But...
I cannot let others define me.
I cannot let others value of me, be my value.
I have always preached that if people(friends, etc) do not want to be around me, they shouldn't. I really only want people around me that want to be. Be it 1 person, or 100.
That old cliche, it's really not quantity, it's quailty. I think here it is true.
I value me. And I value people that value me. That value my friendship, that value my heart, that value my loyalty, that value my very being.
There are people that will decide I am not worthy of them. Their prerogative for sure.
But I cannot take any one elses hang ups, issues, opinions unto myself.
I can only be the person I am. Flawed, caring, loyal, sarcastic, smart, flakey, aloof, independent, provacative.
Knowing oneself, valuing oneself is something that is a continuous challenge for me. The confidence in my own value. Not letting anyone else through their attention, or lack there of make me think, I am not worthy. Be it professionally or personally.
Life is not easy. Being true to yourself, at every turn is not easy. Loving yourself, valuing yourself, is not easy.
But it is so important. It is what I need to do, to want to wake up each day. To want to live. To want to love. To want to chase that life that I most want.
My deepest desire, my ever long goal, is to chase my bliss. To be passionate, to be bold, to be myself.
Love life, love you, love me. We are all worth it. Value you.
Greetings my people, lol...
I have not shot any photos in a few weeks...but I will get back to it soon, I think...
I have so many photo projects that are still in process to finish...ie images taken but not fully processed! yikes!
Here is something new here...I am a huge political junkie, though I haven't really blogged about it yet.
I am going to start now...not to go and tell you who to vote for, but just to share some amusement...
I will stipulate I am a flaming liberal, or at least that is how I vote, though according to some recent surveys I have taken, apparently I have some libertarian tendancies...who knew??!?! Be that as it may, I willingly and enthusiastically will be voting Obama/Biden. In my heart it is the only way I can vote. I believe in it passionately.
Anywho, given that, and that I love good snark...it is so easy to find nowadays. The lovely Mrs Sarah Palin is like this golden ticket! Be it the excessively hilariously accurate (barely) impersonations by her doppelganger Tina Fey, or her *may I call you Joe* greetings, and *winks* to the camera, it's like an endless well.
One of the most funny bits of email I have gotten recently on this bit(I only get funny snark, nothing serious---coincidence?!) is this diagram of her debate style...it just cracks my shit up.
I think I am having far too much fun, at America's expense! Say it ain't so!?!?!?!
But in the end, amusements aside...I implore, my friends, my family, my fellow americans to VOTE! Vote because you mean it. Vote because you can. Vote because it matters.
VOTE
xoxo
P.S. Sarah, love the suit!
