Off the Mark

…or as she IMed, "I’m kinda typsy."  She immediately corrected it to "tipsy" but I think I prefer it as "typsy." 

Remember kiddies, no blogging while typsy!  Drink and blog responsibly.

My friend Tracy at trickle drops tagged me with a meme she did last Sunday.  The funny thing is, until now I thought her blog was named tickle drops.  I told her it was either my warped sense of humor, or else my illiteracy of great poets.  At least now the Whitman excerpt makes sense to me.

This was harder than I imagined, which was already up there on the difficulty scale.  Keep in mind that every statement could be vastly different.

I AM: becoming the person I want to be (albeit far too slowly).

I SAID: far too many hurtful things during my marriage.

I WANT: another chance someday.

I WISH: for worldwide peace, love and understanding.

I HATE: nothing (in my better moments anyway).

I MISS: my children.

I FEAR: dying lonely.

I WONDER: why those who profess family values preach so much hate.

I REGRET: setting a military example for my son.

I AM NOT: what some people think I am.

I DANCE: rarely and only when alone.

I SING: with my earbuds in.

I AM NOT ALWAYS: a nice person.

I MADE: someone happy yesterday.

I WRITE: to integrate my life.

I CONFUSE: myself sometimes.

I NEED: a hug.

I SHOULD: actively exercise.

I START: more than I finish.

I FINISH: ….

I BELIEVE: that belief is the closest we can get.

I KNOW: that I could be wrong.

I CAN’T: believe our educational system lies to us so much about what is truly important.

I SEE: so much promise in my fellow students.

I BLOG: to mend my broken thoughts.

I READ: to converse with those long since gone or those I’ll never meet.

I AM AROUSED BY: simple things—the curve of a neck, fidlding with hair, an engaged mind.

IT PISSES ME OFF: that my country sent my son to war.

I FIND: beauty often overwhelming.

I LIKE: learning.

I LOVE: helping others.

I TAG: anyone who feels the need.
