Baby New Year (And Other Random Stuff)
She's smiling with her eyes! A natural!
Do you ever have moments when you just can’t seem to get it in gear to do the things you usually do or intend to do? Sometimes a weird feeling comes over me that freezes me in my tracks.
For instance, this pic of my beautiful grandniece was intended to be posted yesterday as part of a Friday meme called “This Moment.” Today, I realize that the outfit my sweetie is wearing has a statute of limitations that runs out in less than seven hours, and it would be a shame to waste the shot. She’s a future America’s Next Top Model, assuming the t.v. program is around long enough.
A long time ago, I used to daydream about one day being a guest on the Phil Donahue talk show.
Somebody close to me recently told me that they like it when I blog about random thoughts, such as the one about shame, embarrassment, and guilt. When I hit the “publish” button after writing such a post, I feel exposed, but I never regret it.
I went out with the “ladies who breakfast” this morning. That was fun and always a pleasure to see you all! Once again, may all our dreams come true in 2012! ❤
People compliment me on all the projects I juggle and how much I’m able to accomplish, though I never seem to think I’m doing enough.
The enigmatic “they” say that whatever activity you’re doing at the turn of the year is what you’ll be doing during the year. I’ll be writing as the clock strikes midnight–or more likely flipping channels between the Twilight Zone and Honeymooners marathons. Don’t cry for me; I’ll be happy as a pig in slop.
It’s been six years since I quit but today I wish I had a cigarette.
Doing things you’re afraid to do is a rush. Use that knowledge for good, not evil.
Happy New Year!

Part-Time Hermit
Sometimes I go through certain phases. Right now I am in a phase where I’m on overload, which is weird because I have an abundance of solitude and quiet.
But the quiet is good and the overload is not a bad thing, at least I don’t think so. It is what it is. The quiet and the overload feed (more…)

1 + 1: Emily Dickinson Edition
Water, is taught by thirst.
Land—by the Oceans passed.
Transport—by throe—
Peace—by its battles told—
Love, by Memorial Mold—
Birds, by the Snow.— Emily Dickinson
[Ain’t it the truth?]

1 + 1: Bene Gesserit Edition
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
–The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear; from the novel Dune, a modern masterpiece by Frank Herbert

1 + 1: Exploring the (Webby) World
I’m really loving Twitter right now.
@SweepyJean, I’m likely to follow poets, writers, bloggers, and artists. The many people who share links also end up in my electronic newspaper, Sweepy Jean’s Daydream. It’s full of Internet articles on writing, arts and entertainment, technology, and education.
Over @1plus1Wednesday, there’s greater variety in who I follow, and the 1 Plus 1 Wednesday Digest shows it. Along with writing and entertainment, topics include the environment, health, photography, and both liberal and conservative politics.
I also publish three other e-newspapers:
Adriene’s Literary List – Leans heavily toward the topics of literature, the arts, film, and leisure
Poetry and Poetry Lovers – Quite a bit of poetry, oddly enough
Help for Writers – Writing advice, writing prompts, publishers, editing services, and more
Be a part of my Webby world. Follow me on Twitter. Subscribe to the e-newspapers.

1 + 1: Actor’s Studio Edition
Some say I have a great imagination.
Some say I have delusions of grandeur.
In any event, I have always wondered what it would be like to be a guest on a talk show.
Suppose I were a guest on “Inside the Actor’s Studio?” At the end of each interview, host James Lipton asks guests to answer the same 10 questions.
If I were on the show, here’s how I would answer them:
What is your favorite word? Dawn
What is your least favorite word? Poignant (saying it leaves a bad taste in my mouth)
What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Interaction with smart people
What turns you off? The smell of a discarded banana peel
What is your favorite curse word? Motherfucker
What sound or noise do you love? Violins
What sound or noise do you hate? Crying
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Diva soul singer
What profession would you not like to do? Accountant
If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? You can go back. It’s not your time yet.
I know, crazy, right?
