Okay, so I wanna try something different here on my wonderful, lovely blog. I'm gonna try to write about, from day to day (or whenever I feel like blogging),
THINGS THAT GRABBED MY ATTENTION TODAY
So, I will start, of course, with today:
*interesting website www.likebetter.com
*Rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley ceded his crown to Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain on Forbes.com's list as the top-earning dead celebrity.
The list, published on Tuesday, said grunge rocker Cobain earned $50 million between October 2005 and October 2006. Presley wound up in the No. 2 slot with $42 million, down from last year's $45 million.

*at the medical office where I work, they have an automated recording that answers the phone and gives prompts to route the callers to the specific departments they need. well, they asked me to be "the voice" for the recording.
Made me feel special!
I think I have a pretty good speaking voice. I think I have good diction and articulate pretty good. I thought it was ironic that the day they asked me to do this

I also signed up for lector training for my parish. That is, I'm gonna train to be one of those people that gets up on Saturday or Sunday or whatever day Mass is ocurring and proclaim the reading of the day.
*saw a little blip in the Sept 25th, 2006 U.S. News & World Reports Magazine that got me thinking AGAIN about a topic that I do seem to ponder from time to time:'the end'. This little blip was titled "He saw 9/11, Now He sees 'the end' "
Joel Rosenberg, the New York Times bestselling author whose books have eeirly predicted bad things like 9/11, has a new one coming out, and in it he takes on the superbig question: Is the end near? Seems many think so. For Epicenter, a book on the Middle East crisis, Rosenberg had the polling firm McLaughlin & Associates ask 1,000 adults if they agreed that current events were evidence of what the Bible calls the last days. In the poll, provided by Whispers, a remarkable 42 percent agreed. The breakdown is even more startling:

half of women agree, 75% of blacks agree and 57% of those ages 18 to 25 agree!!!!!!
Now peeps, what are your feeling on 'the end'? In our lifetime?

♥ I belive in God and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I don't consider myself religious but I am very spiritual. I believe that God is closer to us than our own spirit.♥ I am a sinner. I am a saint. I am a work in progress. I try to be good, do good but I do stray from the path from time to time.♥ I try to be positive and sometimes it is quite difficult. I still keep trying, believing, hoping, dreaming.♥ I believe in smiling; Looking people in the eyes. I have a big ole heart. I care.♥ I am a worrier, goofball, romantic, a lover of animal, veteran and nature causes.♥ I believe in treating others with respect and dignity, having faith, rooting for the underdog, doing onto others as you want done onto yourself, telling the truth, being kind, supporting and encouraging, standing up for what I believe and value, having a sense of humor, being thankful being accountable, committed and recognizing limitations.♥ I strive to keep learning and growing.♥ I try not to judge but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sometimes judgemental. I try to have an open mind and love all for who they are to me.♥

A FAVORITE POEM:
A Mermaid's Love
The sea is calling me, but only for a time, a time to return to thee and thy love divine. I swim out among waves, through the rocks the and great caves, thinking only of thee my love... Although we are from different worlds it never could be wrong, for thou knowest I will return, singing the mermaid's song... The clams, oysters, whales know it to be true, that all is love and all my love I only give to you... So come to me, oh sailor on the land, come with me and gently take my hand... For I will love you always, and always is as long as the sea meets the sand..
--Ocean Carol

And if history has shown us anything is that even the greatest civilizations end at some point and another comes in its place. But are we at that point ? I dunno.
Btw, Blessed...thanks for tagging me.
