Oh. MY BAD : Truth HURTS :o(

OK. Been There, Done That vibe. Still not learned this lesson. When you see the potential and you open yourself up to encourage it, nurture it, help it, love it…! Yup. I expected FAR TOO MUCH. Common courtesy, friendship, mutual respect, people who thought and acted and lived like ME. #NEVERAGAIN!

“Intoxicated by the Beauty”

I was around 3 years old when I first met my Dad’s family. From that day until the last time I visited his hometown, the beach was MY “deeply mysterious…awe-inspiring” place.

COCK!

I could go so deeply into this but I’m cooking curry for tea and time is limited. Why did Dan Brown make his fictional character, Robert Langdon, a symbologist? Why were his films so heavily promoted? Why Tom Hanks? Anyhoo. The symbol/sign/code of the COCK was, once upon a time, SACRED. It was nature’s alarm […]
