Meditation, with a side of fries please!

I am a huge fan of Pandora Radio. I have my Billy Joel station for family card nights, Fiona Apple for when I feel eclectic, Joss Stone when I feel sassy, and Nina Simone when, well, when is it a wrong time for Nina?

My partner in life’s favorite is the Calm Meditation station. Now you might picture a willowy soul, in touch with with his inner Om, who runs around with his hands in prayer pose. In reality, he is a huge bear of a man who could probably dead lift a semi if need be. (Ok, maybe not a semi, but a guy did ask him tonight if he needed someone to bring in the Volkswagen from the parking lot so he could add it to the dead lift bar.)

Now what does any of this have to do with French Fries, you might ask? Well, since Mr. Go-Beast-or-Go-Home has a difficult time unwinding, we listen to the Meditation station as we drift off to sleep. Now I don’t know who picks the music for the station, but flutes and ocean waves are wonderfully relaxing…. Until that damned seagull starts screeching in the middle of things! The artist has obviously never walked on an ocean side boardwalk with a cup full of fries. There is nothing relaxing about getting dive bombed by a feathered kamikaze hell bent on taking your fries or pooping on your head… Or both!

I bid you sweet dreams, and for those of you celebrating tonight, chag Pesach sameach!

A little about me…

I write poetry for me. I like to watch movies, good ones, bad ones, any genre. I listen to every type of music out there, and like 99.9% of it. Drum lines rock. I get lost in a really good book and am always reading something. My literary taste is as varied as my musical. I love to listen to gossip, but if you ask me to keep a secret, I’ll take it to my grave. I played the saxophone for years, but I can’t sight read music worth a hoot. I appreciate a dry sense of humor. I play chess. I sing along to the radio, and am pretty good at it. I am one of the most down-to-earth, matter-of-fact dreamers you will ever know. If you ask me a question, and I ask you if you really want to know the answer, you probably don’t. I believe in fairies, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night. I like to cuss, even though I could tell you the same thing much more eloquently if I really wanted to. I like to plant things and watch them grow. Fresh ripe tomatoes smell like sunshine. I think everyone should read at least one classic novel. I am everything you think I am, nothing you expect, and always more than you could ever imagine.

I will be posting poetry, my random adventures, thoughts and observations about life, and anything else my random self … Look a squirrel!!! … Finds interesting… I can only hope you find it so as well.

I bid you peace ~Dee
