Gentle Readers:
Maybe today was not a good day to be awake.
I did go to church and felt blessed ... almost drank some wine, which would have make church (St. Monica in Dallas, TX) even more of the highlight of my DAY than it already was, but I did not.
No wine on a hot, sunny Sunday.
I will entrance you with future posts, do not worry.
Peace,
Your Fiesty Blogger,
Alice

Time To Explain Photo Above
Time to Explain Photo Above:
The striking photo above is: my attempt at macro photography using the weeds next to Zoo Music in Garland, TX as the subject. Don't they look weedy? I like to practice macro photography, however the results from this close-up photography can VARY GREATLY. This could be a huge understatement.
To Jay: (sorry to be so personal, but this will only take a few sentences!) Two of the volunteers have left Club Speakeasy (Jay was asking about a writing class at the homeless shelter). Me and Beth are still doing it on Tuesdays. What did you mean by your comment?
Ok, back to posting for general public.
Meanness sucks.
This is in relation to many happenings, however one in particular:
If you have not heard of Phoebe Prince, check out the latest issue of People Magazine.
I admit that People is not the most trustworthy or wonderful news source (with high journalistic standards!), but if you see it, grab it anyway if you can. Phoebe Prince is a 15-year-old who killed herself a few months ago in the Boston area. (Also: I first heard about this case on the BBC news, broadcast on national public radio).
Again, mean people suck. In relation to the Phoebe Prince / bullying incident: I do not understand why high school bullies would allow themselves to get out of control, or what enjoyment bullies gain from being cruel to other people.
I will post a link soon if I can.
Peace, and give: Love, Peace, Hope and Luck. (Can you "give" luck? Not really but it sounds good),

Go and get a smoothie.
Your choice of fruit.

I . . .
will
do
a
post
soon.
Read a book by Dave Eggers, and drink: a smoothie from one of those places that attracts health nuts.
If you are looking for something that is not the usual Danielle Steele, or Dr. Seuss (Ha. Ha.), then read Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office by Lois Frankel. If you are a girl, go ahead and read it, or if you are a guy and want to read it anyway, then reaed it.
Bye for now, Gentle Readers. I am sick, for now.

Posting, Posting, Stop Me Before It ... Goes ...Awry
Wal Mart story:
I was at Wal Mart the other day. When I got to the cashier, I was hungering to know if they carry smaller containers of the "Great Value Soy Milk" other than the one I was buying. I asked the cashier (in her mid-30s, she was skinny and probably foreign) if Wal Mart carried smaller cartons of the delicious, healthy beverage. Whenever I asked the question, she just said, "you do not want this one?????"
It took me a while to realize: she did not understand a word I said.
Ethnic enlightenment at Wal Mart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! excl. mark overload.
peace

dear Gentle Readers:
I watched 2 videos in my photography class that were absolutely heinous. I do not like when people show videos because they don't want to teach.
Both videos were from the 80s and very scripted.
I am trying to evolve the blog into a more developed weblog.
Whatever happened to ... (This is a New Segment):
Whatever happened to ... Fruit Roll Ups?
If you are pleased with the new segment, let me know.
Love,
Alice

Still reading Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), and the newspaper.

Random Facebook Ramblings
I do not like:
Random messages from people that I don't know, on Facebook, telling me I look good.
?????????????????????????????????? Question mark overload.
I will do a post soon.
Peace. And Love.

I hope this truly expresses how I feel about random facebook messages.
