“You’re not normal, you do know that don’t you?”

Totally random post, where it is going who knows.

I’m not normal, I get told that daily by those who both know me and don’t know me just yet.

I love boy movies but also really enjoy a good chick flick.

I laugh at boy humour and tend to have a really dirty sharp witted mind which most women just go hmm to, its way more fun

I know how to change a car’s tyre but don’t have a legal driver’s license – you know the story of why but for those that don’t it involved a traffic officer connecting to the bonnet of the car I was driving during my test.

I hate dirty nails and wash my hands possibly more than normal people always moisturizing them afterwords but like to get them dirty

I can’t garden to save my life and yet I love smelling flowers and freshly cut grass that I mowed, plants die quite quickly under my watch, so fast that it could possibly be put into the Guiness Book of World Records.  Bought a bonsai the one day and by the next morning it was pushing up daisy’s (seriously now)

I showed someone how to take the inside panels the doors of a car off today and how to replace the side mirror, do the electronics and put it all back together again.

I love dogs but can’t stand to pick up their feces, ewwwww that is a boys job same goes for any kind of extrement from anything, if it smells its someone elses job.  Wasn’t much fun living alone I can tell you.

I can put most things together without a manual but I will get you more lost than lost if you asked me directions.  I once took a person on an hour and a half journey through 5 different downs that should have taken 15 minutes and through one, the one we live in.

My strongest sense is visual perceptual which boys say is not normal for girls to have, you say it and I can see it, careful… but this really helps with idea generation and creations :)

I am a qualified computer hardware technician and find it easy to learn anything to do with a computer but once, when I first started out in that industry I got really frustrated and took a hammer to a hard drive.  It gave me much pleasure and yes the hammer had been spray painted pink by the other tech’s in the office.

I hate politics but keep track of what is going on, worse yet I understand the technicalities and the bigger picture…

I love Winnie the Pooh and even have a huge plush toy of him that I like to sleep with even at 30.

I hate allowing others to pay for me even for a drink if it is not by “rounds” and always keep tabs on what is owed by myself to others.

I love painting my toenails and doing girly things, I even read the odd OK mag though admittedly I look more to the make up and hair styles of the who’s who.

Guess I am writing this post because I confuse even myself lol, perhaps I am in part celebrating the fact that I am not normal and can’t be stereotyped… perhaps I think its time for a few in my life to wake up and realise this fact.

A bigger perhaps for you… perhaps I have started to accept who I am and love myself for it, wanted to share that and for those that know of the journey to get here… you heard it first…

I love myself for who I am

A song that blows me away

… perhaps it will do the same for you …


Hey,
Don’t write yourself off yet.
It’s only in your head you feel left out,
Or looked down on.
Just try your best,
Try everything you can.
And don’t you worry what they tell themselves
When you’re away.

[Chorus]
It just takes some time,
Little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright. (alright)

Hey,
You know they’re all the same.
You know you’re doing better on your own, (on your own)
So don’t buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn’t matter if it’s good enough (good enough)
For someone else.

[Chorus x2]

Hey, don’t write yourself off yet.
It’s only in your head you feel left out, (feel left out)
Or looked down on.
Just do your best, (just do your best)
Do everything you can. (do everything you can)
And don’t you worry what their bitter hearts (bitter hearts)
Are gonna say.

[Chorus x2]

… Float on …

Sometimes its good just to float… float on the surface and let things pull themselves together and have faith…

I backed my car into a cop car, the other day
Well he just drove off, sometimes life’s ok
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok

And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on any way, well

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don’t you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on exactly the same day
Well we’ll float on good news is on the way

And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, ok
And we’ll all float on, alright
Already we’ll all float on
No, don’t you worry, we’ll all float on
Alright, I’m ready, we’ll all float on
Alright, don’t worry, we’ll all float on

Alright alright we’ll all float on
Alright already we’ll all float on
Alright don’t worry even if things end up a bit too heavy
We’ll all float on…alright
Already we’ll all float on
Alright already we’ll all float on, ok
Don’t worry we’ll all float on
Even if things get heavy, we’ll all float on

Alright already we’ll all float on
(Alright)
Don’t you worry we’ll all float on
(Alright)
All float on…

Naming your blog

Well I always find suggestions interesting but the new “WordPress” adverts just tickle me royally pink!  Have you noticed in that little “advert” bar all the suggested blog domain addresses?  Just classic…

WordPress tip: Be the master of your own domain – make this blog “bleep.com” for just $15 per year.

First up, if you want to register your blog domain go to Google (thanks AngryAfrican)… $15 per year is a rip off they can give it to you for $10 and it comes with whole bunch of cool goodies (cool to me because they are new toys)

The story of Sanityfound and how it came to be

imageOnce upon a time in a far far distant land I encountered the monster of  sanity.  Now she was a fierce and strange creature with long green talons and the purplest of hairballs.

Many warm summer nights she would sit under the star lit sky sipping fermented grape juice while singing merely to herself “Twinkle twinkle little star”.  On the clearest night of all she encountered the king of the dark night and boy was he a mysterious creature. The Man in the Moon charmed her little polka dot socks off (we maintain it was the grape juice though this she denies) and they talked for hours on end about the most random of things. Shoes called crocodiles, Clothes called fuel, you name it, it was discussed.

One thing led to another with a few too many grape juices later a little surprise was born.  They named this new bundle  “mysanityencountered.com” in remembrance of their first encounter.  Needless to say this little bundle of joy was a surprise to them both, who would’ve thought a few glasses under the night sky would create such a wonder.

Now the Monster called Sanity, who was in reality a Princess of the day, had a deep dark secret, a secret not many knew.  To everyone she was the monster who could talk for hours to the strangest of people, those she knew and then those that were new, always with a smile and a ready laugh, a wicked sense of humour and a sassy dance. To all and sundry she was the definition of extroversion but not to the moon.  The Masks of sanity were shrouded by illusion.

Time moved forward and discussions grew deep, the longing for another took hold of her and the craving made her weep.  The moon wingled and wangled, soon it was clear that another was to keep, the walls fell down and the masks fell away, the secret was out for all to see. “mycoherencefound.com” was born with a bleep.

As Coherence grew and Encounter learnt to count “yoursobrietyfound.com” was born with pure heart.  Turning grape juice to water and peat to meat sobriety was the stead who all would need.  The moon was once more overjoyed and said to all who would hear that “easysanityfound.com” was their new baby born (just between you and me he was not the definition of sobriety and hence got confused with who was who in the zoo). 

It was not before or after long that the Man in the Moon discovered his error and took the corrective measure. He sat and pondered for many a night of what was to be and what he could see.  Sobriety was to Easy and his error made him dizzy.  “mysanitydiscovered.com” was the reality when no masks were worn by sanity.

Wonders and crunders the realisation made him dance with warm fuzzies in his tummy.  Waves and tides came in and out, he had finally found his “mysanitylocated.com”.  A new dawn, a new day, he had finally met his destiny. “yoursanitymet.com”, growth and fate were looking after him.

The monster that is Sanity, a princess by day, was now a princess by night in the hands of the Moon with love and friendship, life was a new.

.. and that dear folks is how “mysanityfound.com” almost came to be

Sanity is not mine, it will never be, it’s an illusion that is filled with wander and want. No. I’d much rather be insanity for there is an in and no out but alas the name was taken so SanityFound I will be for in reality there is no such thing as Sanity.

*I don’t think I should write when I am exhausted though this is filled with symbology, those who know me will understand… yip I shouldn’t write while sleeping lol

I am you and you are me…

I first really listened to this song as it came on my shuffle while flying to England last year October.  I sat there and listened to it back to back the ENTIRE flight, a total of 11 hours, yes you heard right.  I had just packed up my life, said goodbye to the country of my birth, to people and to my life.  This song is as symbolic now as it was then, if not more so.  

Right now I don’t have space on both my hands for everyone that is going through something, going through a major change or an emotional jigsaw, this song is for you… its for us.

I am you and you are me

I am you and you are me
Why’s that such a mystery?
If you want it you got to believe
Who are we? We’re who we are
Riding on this great big star
We’ve got to stand up if we’re gonna be free yeah

If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved

The Son of God is in our face
Offering us eternal grace
If you want it you’ve got to believe
‘Cause being free is a state of mind
We’ll one day leave this all behind
Just put your faith in God and one day you’ll see it

If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved

The future’s in our present hands
Let’s reach right in
Let’s understand
If you want it you’ve got to believe yeah

If you want it you got it
You just got to believe
Believe in yourself yeah
‘Cause it’s all just a game
We just want to be loved
