it's all about me

good morning---i started searching through my old posts to find one that was more on the lighter side of life---since my last couple have been pretty heavy---most of the posts i thought of using, required other readings to make sense-----so i decided to just post a post about myself----

i just saw this piece on the news last night---the jest of it that i took away, was things like facebook twitter and i am assuming blogging too, are all a part of our bragging on ourselves---evidently, bragging releases things in the brain, that are pleasurable---i have never considered myself a braggart, but they say, even wanting to give your opinion, is a form of bragging--

well that stupid theory is not what my post is about, it is about me---get it hahahaha

i am known through-out my family as the wolf caller---seriously, i do a mean wolf call--

i am an adventurous cook--as far as stews, casseroles and soups, go---i will try different things with ease, and even take them somewhere on the first try-

i used to write music and sing, way back in the day and turned down a career, as i was supposed to open at one of our local concert places, for, i don't even remember the group--it was some new group, the talent agency, i worked for, represented-i guess this was kinda bragging hmmmm--that stupid theory-

i am only giving random thoughts of things about myself--they certainly do not represent any importance in their being listed or their order-

i can spot driftwood from any distance, and no matter that on second look it turns out to be dog poop--

a friend and i will one day write together, what i have always known will be a best seller--"love don't buy no tires"-

i have been known to go in a dressing room and try on a hat that was meant as a door decoration---try thinking of what you would say, when you are in the dressing room and you hear people snickering, and then you read the tag--that the hat is indeed a decoration for your front door---you exit, with something like---"i was just trying to hang it on the clothes rack in there, to see how it is going to look on my door at home"---yeah no one notices your sudden hat hair----

oh and one important thing, not really about myself, but one of the most important pieces of advice i can give one-----if you are threatening, oh i don't know, someone, like the cast of a play that is to open in a week and the actors, actually believed you, when you said they could read their parts---they not realizing it was a directors ploy to nurse them along in their confidence----

back to the great lesson---if you are leaving, get to that door first and make your dramatic exit----don't let the cast one and all (except one poor soul who wasn't fast enough)--make a mad dash and leave you in a utterly useless, director's huff--

  11. Things we always wanted to know, Lynn! :)

    We all have those "hat" stories; thanks for sharing yours!
    Mine might have been mocking the Crocidile Hunter after his death (I didn't know he had died.) It was embarrassing, but a good story.

    nice post!

  16. There's no doubt a lot of folks are on social media so they can brag. Others want to agitate and irritate. I still think it's fun.
