they are, you are, we all are.
someone said to me, “every morning, we reinvent ourselves.”
they said, “we wake up and make decisions everyday.”
“you can wake up tomorrow and not want to be around any of those peoples.”
they said, “you can decide to be different and not let those influences be part of who you are.”
i say,
too late.
every experience, every person who’s left their mark on you - good or bad - you are the total product.
acknowledge it, embrace it, and be happy in who you are - no one else can be you better than you.

flower pens and crocheted asshats
my aunt and uncle have been in extremely bad health. they’re in their 80s, so it’s somewhat to be expected, but it’s never easy to watch the people you love suffer. it was with a sad heart that i went to visit them recently, after my uncle was placed in a nursing home. wanting to get my aunt away for a bit, we took her out to a little mexican restaurant in new braunfels. we finish eating and she pops dessert for us OUT OF HER PURSE (pie!). PIE! (it was good, too!) then, as we’re leaving, my aunt goes to all the restaurant employees and gives them a flower pen that she’s made. she does this *everywhere she goes*. sweetest thing EVER.
the infamous flower pens:
it reminded me of all the summers that i’d spent at their home in canyon lake, texas (beautiful, beautiful area) and during those visits, i learned to love heehaw (pfft! she was gone!), square dancin’ (yes, i CAN acey deucey AND load the boat!), and crocheting. in all these years, i’ve never given my aunt anything that i’d crocheted and, wanting to send her something, i decided on a little donkey that i’d made not too long ago. yet, it needed ~something~... and thus, the crocheted asshat was borned!
so far, i’ve been able to refrain from passing these out to random strangers, but give me a few years 
lord knows i’ve had the proper training :D
and just cuz…
heehaw

allhehastosay.com - the autism song
one of the reasons that my blog has been so stagnant lately is because i’ve been busy… and goofin’ off too, but mostly busy :D
my friends just released a song, “all he has to say”, and i helped them get the website goin’ for it.
‘All He Has to Say’ features award winning singer/songwriter aika (Aika Hirahara) on vocals, music by Music Producer/songwriter Nicolas Farmakalidis, with lyrics written by Boston songwriter Will Carr after reading a poem written by Lea Bishop about autism. Lea Bishop has been working with children with autism for two years, and has spent the past year as a teacher’s assistant at the May Center for Child Development school in Randolph, MA. She is devoting her higher education to bettering herself in order to change the lives of those on the spectrum. Creating this song has gone from an artistic expression to a full out campaign to spread awareness and raise money for autism.
check it out and help children with autism! PLUS enjoy a great song!
