Clueless

I just realized that my inability to discern what is obvious to others makes me look stupid, but really gives me a unique perspective that ought to be considered.

Just on my mind

This is interesting in that it unearths other things that thought they were forever burried and insignificant.

I had never even thought about money as being a trait. And I thought that those who did were less righteous. I had quoted the snide and rude comment, "you can buy anything in this world with money." And that movie my older brother watched and rewatched must'be been a favorite, "Can't Buy Me Love" so duh, everyone considers the love of money an evil thing. It would be worse to call someone a money lover than a whore.

Then, and this is the.part I want to comment on, guys always say that women are only interested in Money. I think that is unfair! After seeing the successful marriages vs. Ones that didn't work, most cases, not all, marriages cannot handle the stress and the relationship buckles under the strain of needing, not just wanting, things. When the man enters a marriage partly it is assumed that he will provide for and protect his family. So, I think there are more attributes for a person that deal with his ability to provide than attributes of carachter. But, really, mone is just a more visible, or measureable way to determine someone's "worth".

The last thing that took me a while to comprehend. I have no engagement ring and only have wedding bands after the fact or consideration. My dad used to tell me that it showed someone's devotion, by how hard of a sacrifice they would make for the winning of the affection of the one they loved. I just wanted to toss and "uncomfortable" payments, when actually that would have been just the thing to measure comittment or ability to provide.

Parenthood teaches

Of the things parenthood teaches today I learned more about why we had to leave God. I noticed that my kids behave a do everything right when I am there, but if I leave them for a second alone, they go crazy doing everything I tell them not to do. So, *sigh* I punish them, which honestly hurts,me more than it hurts them!

A tid bit I do not want to forget

In my do over, I realized that I made a mistake again, and both times it was because I refused to believe in something better than good.

So, realizing that changes nothing. unless...no, I would not be that brave, I know.

We all do it. We give up what we could have because what we have is already good. And it actually it makes good sense kinda. Like in black jack or any risk taking prospect.

Brain Storm

Humility. Good idea.

This is another outrage caused by realizations formed due to watching Stargate Atlantis.

I have related to Rodney McKay, especially his angst at being mistaken in this episode. Then, as I was thinking about how brilliant the show was and it was canceled, ofcourse, an obvious parallel. Almost everything I love is almost purposely ignored. Those thoughts made me wonder what would be loved by most? And eventually I realized that maybe the writers thought the show would appeal to a lot of people. Maybe it would and that is precisely why the show was canceled. There is a line regarding such an occurance when the  head of Atlantis was ranting about being reviewed by another clueless agency. The snide comment was, "I am likely going to be a product of my own success."

I just now see how venting about the IOA was a way to vent about the mass of fools with the buying power that make the descisions. All artists have.something to say or they would be doing something more obviously useful, like making shoes (from Anonymous the movie).
