A little cuteness for Friday. TGIF!

What I Blog
I blog what I want to blog about. I like my blog to be mostly uplifting, about things that interest me, and hopefully interests you, my reader. I often don’t write about things in the news because it’s depressing. It doesn’t mean that I don’t care about what’s going on. I do. I care deeply. However, I’m not going to harp on something simply because it’s in the news. We all know that the current American president sucks. We all know that America has a problem with violence. Do I really need to harp on these things when my readers agree with me (or maybe you don’t). The thing is, I have no desire to ignite a flame war. Internet trolls will always try to incite flame wars, but they just come off looking like idiots. I aspire to uplift not to put down, and I hope that of my readers as well.
We have a guy that teaches transcendental meditation at our school. He always remarks on how calm I am. I try to project a very chill personality. I don’t like to get upset and I try not to get myself into situations where I will lose my temper. Because trust me, I have a very bad temper, but I keep it in check. Instead, I try to stay positive. If this world were more positive and less negative, we’d have a much better world. Politics is a prime example of this. Politicians often run on what they are against not what they are for. Think how different politics would be if politicians were positive instead of negative. What a world we could be living in if more people were positive in their outlook.
Umm…
One of the difficulties of doing a daily blog is finding something to talk about each day. The truth is I tried and tried to come up with something to talk about today, it nothing was coming to me. I started to talk about a commercial I saw: But
Why does this man drink Diet Coke Twisted Mango? “Because if nature can’t twist it,” he says, “at least this can… can.” …Get it? Like the French dance… Never mind.
But I couldn’t embed the video, so there was little point if you hadn’t seen the commercial. However, the guy in it is so cute, not usually my type, but when he says, “Get it?” and smiles, he has the cutest smile.
I could also, of course, talk about the Olympics. Adam Rippon has become the star of these Olympics, and talk about adorable. He’s just everything you’d want in one package. And can we just take a moment to contemplate Johnny Weir’s hair. It gets more outrageous by the day. And don’t get me started on his outfits.
Anyway, that’s what’s on my mind.
Sleeping In
I have to work this Saturday, so I am off today. I plan to sleep in and take it easy. I actually got to stay up and watch the Olympics last night. I wanted to see the men’s figure skating. I always love watching the men.
Happy Valentines Day
Well, it’s Valentines Day, and once again I am single with no prospects in sight. I know most people like to have chocolate on Valentines Day, but I personally have never been that big of a chocolate fan unless it contains caramel or peanut butter. I’d much rather have fruit flavored candy. I know that puts me in the weird category, but I like fruity candy better than chocolate. Well, I doubt I will get either today as it will just be another day at work. I hope all of you have a wonderful and loving day, and if you have a significant other realize how blessed you are.
Blue Moon
Blue Moon
Songwriters: Lorenz Hart / Richard Rodgers
Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper “Please adore me”
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
A rare super blue blood moon is set to occur this Wednesday, Jan. 31, and stargazers are right to be (excuse the pun) over the moon about it. To understand their excitement, you’ll need to understand what’s happening, exactly. Even though the phrase “once in blue moon” suggests they’re rare, blue moons—the second full moon in a one-month period—are relatively frequent, taking place once every 2.7 years. Supermoons are full moons that occur at the closest possible point to Earth, making them appear slightly bigger and brighter, and grace us once every 14 months. And blood moons, also known as total lunar eclipses, take place about twice a year when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow, turning it an eerie, copper-hued color.
But to have all three happen at the same time? It hasn’t happened since 1866. Tomorrow night we will have a super blue blood moon.
Sleeping In
I’m off today because I have to work on Saturday, so I’m sleeping in. Which also means, this is the most you’re getting for a post today.
Nothing New
I’ve got nothing new to report. The job front hasn’t changed. There has been no news on the job hunt. My life is kind of boring right now as I wait for something to happen. So, I’ve got nothing new to report.
Headache, et al
As Sunday went on, my headache that started out as a minor annoyance turned into a raging headache. I went to bed early last night.
I wanted to say a few things about my piercing. It hurt a lot but only for a second. I thought the clamps would hurt a lot more, but they didn’t. It was when she said take a deep breath and in went the needle that it really hurt. After that, it was just really sensitive the rest of the day, but that subsided and it just feels normal now. I can’t help it, but I continue to look at it in the mirror. I’m so glad I had it done. Now, it will look really great if I get into shape.
Also, I might hear from the Midwest job today. She had expected to let me know something last week, so I’m thinking it will be the first of this week. As for my current job, it looks as if they are creating a new position at the museum for me. We will undergo some restructuring, but the administration plans to add an educators position. The job would basically be tailored to my specific skill sets and it will have to be advertised, but it looks like I may still have a job come summer.
Answer
Thanks guys for all your feedback. Getting my nipple pierced is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and with your encouragement, I think I’m finally going to get it done. It’s supposed to be a nice weekend, especially on Saturday, so I think I’ll drive up to Burlington and get it done. I have not decided on which place to go to yet, but I’ve narrowed it down to three places. I’ll decide before I head up there on Saturday.
Tonight, however, I am going to the Vermont Burlesque Festival. At least that’s the tentative plan. I think it will be a lot of fun. I’ve been told it’s fun, and I’ll finally get to see the inside of the Barre Opera House, which is where tomorrow night’s part of the festival is being held,
