Call it a weird mood or some type of Post-Hurricane Sandy, authentic New Jerseyan attitude....but aren't there more important things to do than pummel people who are down with insanely, redundant, apocalyptic rhetoric? How much inter cranial aptitude did it require to make the connection that Hurricane Sandy was the 2nd worst storm in recorded history, therefore; IT MUST BE THE END OF THE WORLD? Since I accept that there was a beginning or CREATION of the world...it is safe to assume that we are perpetually in the final days of something along the continuum of this crappy existence! I just decided that I would much rather see humanity shine "spiritually" from within than to constantly hear how some are destined for some Utopia that all their hard work proselytizing and speculating on the misfortune of others, will only be enjoyed in the uncertainty of certain death. You would think this kind of dedication and fervor to that which cannot be tangibly proven or disproved, would result in some kind of Utopia right here and now, where we are all a little bit more tolerant and a little more compassionate toward each other? It is going to be real interesting seeing how that pans out, but my God given talents are at work here and now.
I'm not doing such a great job of making HARVEST/THANKSGIVING cards...and I'm thinking, it shows? We fared just fine down here in LSD (Lower Slower Delaware), but my friends and family in NJ and NYC can't say the same. Most of my family is just inconvenienced by the days of cold and darkness, but there are some very special friends in NY that I cannot contact or confirm their conditions. It is torture and I question why I am even making cards? Not because I am not THANKFUL, but because I can't find the energy to celebrate when there is so much loss and devastation. I'm sure this was just the uplifting kind of thing the world needed today....I wish I had done something differently on the edges of this card. The layout is kinda sobering, lol. Wish me MOJO, wish for world peace, hope for word from my friends, soon.
Thanks for stopping by and listening to the rant!

Through all the ranting and aggravation, you still managed to produce a card with GLITTER! See, it's not all that bad :) If it were, I would have expected to have seen a card you hung out the window during Sandy and used what was left of it as a card! Now that is distressed. Love you! Hope the sun's shining today.
ReplyDeleteLOL...Yeah, I needed to be slapped back to reality with a paper trimmer! THE SUN IS SHINING TODAY (6+ months later) because I graduate next month and I finished up my internship this week! Yay me! ...and thank you, friend!
