Rock Climbing…

 Here’s something that I don’t know if I’ve ever shared… I love mountain climbing documentaries, but the kind where a disaster happens, you know like how a climber’s body ends up being left on Everest… kind of thing… they scare me in a roller coaster type of way.

So I watched The Dark Wizard which is about Dean Potter who was a world famous rock climber known for his free climbing, meaning he didn’t use any equipment to keep himself from falling to his death. He didn’t use any! He did  this all over the word but loved Yosemite National Park. Then he started diving off cliffs with a Wing suit which looks a lot like a Sugar Glider.

You know from the beginning that there’s going to be a tragedy but you don’t know how. It’s four episodes on HBO.

I can not recommend this more. It’s so good but the entire time you have that feeling that you’re tick tick tick ticking up the roller coaster before the descent. Your tummy flutters from the jump. So well made. You’re gonna feel like you and Dean are Buds. Which is the kick in the gut part.

Watch this, seriously. 

We showed Josh the song Iron Man by Black Sabbath and Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult…., Both of those were released in 1970…. First…. WHAT THE FUCK? I remember driving by The Spokane Opera House and Black Sabbath was there so my mom clutched her pearls about how she heard they were satanic.   This is the same woman who wouldn’t let me go to an REO SPEEDWAGON concert because she heard that people would have sex in the isles. I swear to God….But then they stopped parenting and I went to Judas Priest and AC|DC and Metallica’s “ Kill ‘em All” tour….Scorpions… lots more 

My point…. First Joshua’s jaw dropped open, apparently he didn’t realize that metal was that old… omg, so fucking old… He loved them…. And finally… both of those songs scare me. There’s something in the music that makes my heart jump out my chest…. And I fucking love that!! 

To this day, the sound of Godzilla makes my brain freak out and I love Godzilla movies and that Monarch Series on Apple TV… super good, by the way. 

I love the flippity flappity of my heart based solely on a sound or a documentary.

Song….Make You Feel My Love … you can go with the Adele version but it was the Bonnie Raitt version that I’d drown my sorrows in back in the day. Cheryl and I listened to that album all day long on a ten day vacation up Highway 101. Then I had to buy it and my kids can sing every single line! Listen, some songs become therapeutic. I even started my Blog because of that song, hoping it might be read by him….

Luv ya!

Here goes it again…

  I hope you read all the things that Christians stole from Pagans. It’s an important part of my crisis. Next: finding out that literally thousands of religions, current and ancient have a “ flood” story in them. What confused me were the religions that were thousand of years older than Christianity had not only a flood story but also a VIRGIN BIRTH story. So, ok, that many religious agree on a flood story, just not necessarily in the same time frame. Even science has discovered proof of a massive flood. So, I’m good with that…. But the virgin birth story seems a little…. Odd. It’s not like they are all talking about Mary, but someone representing their religion. So just a few are Christianity and Islam. But also  Hinduism, ancient Egyptians,   Greek mythology, Aztec Mythology,Mongolian legends,  Native American traditions and Japanese folklore and that’s literally just a few out of hundreds. So I wondered…. Was that stolen from ancient religions? Worshipping Mary… P...

Hey.

 So, hopefully most of  everyone got my email. If not, I’m starting from scratch. Hi. It’s been a minute! Like, I’m a year older. There’s so much to catch up on that I don’t know where to start….  Let’s get this out of the way. No, I have not spoken with my children. OM got divorced. Instead of going back to her maiden name she made up a last name based on a…. Wait for it…. Disney move. Went to court and now that’s her last name. So, that was a little jarring. I got that news from Joshua while I was getting my nails done. Fun! I actually did speak to ym for a hot minute last month. My car was totaled by a hail storm. We still had it at her house in a different city so we did have to have contact. That went fine but no movement forward. So, ya. That’s that. Let’s see….. last year I was diagnosed with PMR polymyalgia rheumatica. It’s an autoimmune thing that basically paralyzes you. I had to wait … EIGHT months to see a specialist who wanted to put me on steroids for the re...

CHICKS CANT HOLD THEIR SMOKE

 That’s what it is…. Got high last night. I rarely… I mean RARELY have anything to do with weed, certainly don’t smoke it. But, it’s a long story that probably shouldn’t be told and I got high. Here’s what I discovered. If you have the Disney + app you can watch short little videos where you’re “on” the ride….. RIGHT! Best combination ever!!!!! I hit Disneyland and Disney world HARD.  One time , YEARS ago I had to watch the weather channel to calm me down, see the reason I don’t hardly ever mess with weed is that unless I have someone to talk with or something to take my mind off stuff, well, I want to call the cops on myself. Ya. When I was a teenager I tried to open the truck door whilst my boyfriend was driving. Had sex while high once or twice and they go together. Twisting tricks….. Shhh that’s private.   18 months ago I was convinced that I was actually either 1) DEAD. Or 2) In a coma. I woke my husband up to tell him the news. “ Hey, are you alive or in my ima...
