Two diametrically opposed thoughts..
but at least it's a blog entry! LOL
First thought: Inner Peace STINKS!
No, that's NOT a really bad bumper sticker...there was a high-end arts and craft show at work today, (periodically galleries come and sell their work on the premises) and one of the vendors was selling candles. Now, for those who don't know, I have two collectable passions: black and white cows and candles.
So, I'm purusing what the vendor has to offer, and I notice a large light blue candle in a country jar. Knowing that Lou has been looking for a new serenity candle with a seashore smell, I picked it up and read the front. The candle was called inner peace. Thinking..."inner peace...serenity...pretty close.." I removed the lid and took a whiff.
All I can say is that if the creator of that candle really believes that's what innner peace smells like, then he or she needs to seek professional psychiatric help...yesterday. It was horrible! Then again, maybe the creator has a point. I crave chaos...I have a hard time functioning in smooth waters...so maybe inner peace smelled bad to me because I don't like it.
Nah...the candle just STUNK!
Second thought: Bond is AWESOME!
No, not 007, the er...group...er..band...the four ladies who turn regular songs into rock classical masterpieces. And no, I don't mean Molly Hatchet classic rock (although I do have an affinity for 'Flirting With Disaster' and 'Follow the Peacemakers'...but I'm digressing here.), I mean classical music set to a rock beat. Their stuff is amazing. One of the ladies that I work with was playing Bond in her car yesterday...and I commented on how much I liked what she was listening to. So today, she hands me a CD and tells me to take it home and listen to it. Well, it was the music she had been playing in the car, and the group was Bond. I am especially fond of Victory. It's amazing. So, if you are looking for something kinda offbeat that is instrumental (wich is perfect for writing in my case) check them out. I'm going to buy all their CD's this weekend...which means with the classical and George Winston stuff I already have, I will have several hours worth of writing music. Yee HAW!
Well, that's about it. I've been working on the book on and aff all evening and I want to get back to it. But I just had to share those two thoughts with you.
Later!
