lose your mind and come to your senses. – fritz perls
why is it
that
i
feel the need
to
turn up
the
volume
when
watching
a
foreign film
with
subtitles
written
in
my language
and
spoken
in
a language
i don’t understand?
the five senses are the ministers of the soul. – leonardo da vinci

never treat your audience as customers, always as partners. – jimmy stewart
had a nice offer
from
an
‘adult novelty catalog company’
to advertise
on my blog
and i smiled
and thanked them
when
i
turned them down
and
thought about
what
my posts
are
really
all about
nature, animals, philosophy, humor, zen, children, travel, art. life, family, love, compassion, adventure
not so much about dancing girls
and their costumes
and their toys
and their boys
not to say
they
can’t be
about
art or love or zen or adventure
too
for they are all
a part of life
and we all
share the same planet
and
i don’t judge
and
i like to dance
and
wear costumes
and
all the rest
but i figured
chances are
the company
has never really read my blog
and has no idea
who my audience
really
is
your audience gives you everything you need. they tell you.
there is no director who can direct you like an audience.

sittin’ pretty.
went to the nail salon
to relax
be pampered
have a pedicure
was put
into
a hello kitty chair
with the
massage option
given water
listened
to my nail tech
who was
a
very
very
very
quiet talker
tried to answer
what she asked
in a way
that didn’t
make me seem
insane
or
off subject
lotion
massage
warm water
scrub
wrap
paint
sleepy
relaxed
drifting
watched
a
bad
made for tv movie
on the screen
with
subtitles
and lots
of hilarious
translation snafus
and ponies
and angst
and there was
candy
all around
and i
read
a trashy magazine
took the quiz
found
i am
most
‘like goldie hawn’
of all
the
celeb possibilities
kept trying
to answer questions
though i had no idea
what she was asking
in her whisper voice
tried to lip read
i probably said that
i like ponies
and
cotton candy
and
my name
is goldie hawn
as i slipped into
a dreamy state
of
hello kitty consciouness

you will never find any more loose change than you have already lost. – skarstad
close call
almost lost
my refund
windfall
and
wondering
how much
this
will
cost them
to
stop
payment
or
to
reissue
a
new check
for
nine cents
and
it’s
not really
making
any
cents

one child’s teddy bear is another’s stuffed virus.
by far the most unique cuddly toy brought in by one of our kindergarteners today
Pneumonia (Streptococcus pneumonia) Educational Plush Toy
‘Those big cute eyes betray a deadly virus – pneumonia kills a lot of people each year.
Ask your doc about it.’
yikes

and the company’s sales’s pitch:
‘Giant Microbes And Viruses Plush Toys Make Great Stuffed Animals Gifts
Just in time for flu season… Or in time to educate people about other nasty viruses and microbes…
Do you ever think about what those viruses and bacteria look like? They may make us sick every now and then – and hopefully not too sick (or too often). Whether you have a case of the sniffles or a bout of the “stomach flu” – there’s usually a bug behind it.’
‘And as it turns out, some of them are awfully cute, at least in their stuffed animal plush toy versions! The folks from Giant Microbes have created a whole line-up of the tiny guys – blew them up to about 1 Million times their “normal” size, and turned them into some of the cutest plush animals around.
Whether you want giant plush viruses or bacteria, or whether you want any one of a whole bunch of other micro-organisms, they’ve got you covered.’
—-
“remember when you used to sleep with all of your stuffed animals as a child
so none of them would be jealous?”
