So last night I was walking home and this woman was ahead of me on the sidewalk, this guy starts talking to her dog, homeless guy I think, or drunk, anyway I walked out in the street to take pictures of the trees with blue lights on them. When I came back on the sidewalk she had stopped to talk to a man walking his dogs, so I walked behind him. His dachshie ran toward me, it was a mini, a puppy mini very small and very mini. I thought, You are a very friendly dog. I then looked at the dog the woman had been walking, and got scared. So I walked on.
Why did I get scared? He had a “HI PLEASE FEED ME!” look on his face, he was also a puppy, and friendly. So why did I run? When I was a very little girl I got bitten by a dog. It wasn’t a stray dog, it was the family pet and I am told I deserved it. Not in so many words of course, but through the years that is the memory I’ve retained. I took the dog’s bone, the dog bit me, it wasn’t the dog’s fault, it was mine. At two years old I should have KNOWN not to take a bone away from a dog. I have no memory of this, my only memory is being told it happened and seeing a slide of me with the dog, and I was crying. The slide is black and white so you can’t even see if there was blood. I have no visible scars from this event either. No marks on my face or arms or legs to ever show I was bitten by a dog.
My scars therefore, must be on the inside. When I see a black and white dog, with a long pointed noise and upright ears, I get scared. I won’t walk down a street if such a dog is there. Big black dogs that run up to the fence and bark ferociously don’t scare me as much. Of course people laugh at me, for being afraid of a ‘little dog’. I get defensive, I don’t want to be afraid. The truth is, I am afraid and embarrassed of being afraid, because I don’t know how to not be afraid.
Right now I’m at the Apple store. I’m here because I wanted to blog something. Something that was profound and I just had to put it down before I forgot, and I knew I would forget before I got home, so I came here, to use their Mac’s and write my profound thoughts and put them out here for all the world to see.
When I got on the Mac I got distracted, by, I don’t know, Kool-ade? Anyway, whatever it is, I have already forgotten the wonderful inspiration I was going to share with the world and since they are closing the store in 15 minutes I will never get it back.
Sometimes I feel like I a such a loser, it is no wonder I am all alone. Yes that is a lie, I have many friends and I live alone because that is what I prefer, but sometimes I wonder if I prefer it because I don’t want to be rejected by an potential mates.
That is not what I came on here to say. Maybe it wasn’t even this blog I wanted to say it on, maybe it was on my sports blog, some thought that had taken flight while I was at the game. It was a long game and well played and my team won leaving me with wonderful thoughts about life and …..
I have no idea what else I was going to say. I have to go now.
This was one of those days when I wanted to do this. Lie in the grass in the shade. There were two reasons I couldn’t.
One is Em was here and we were walking around, lunch and nail appointment and giving money to Greenpeace. The second reason is –
I’m allergic to grass.
From the evil Army guys from that far away country of New Jersey. So we’re going to build a building and fill it with guns and stuff and when it’s finished … Oh, the war is over? Ok peace bro lets go home.
- Bullying, it happens to everyone at some point in their lives, in various ways and we can a see it all around. Kids are being picked on in school, even to adults being taken advantage of at the work place. But I want those of you who are reading this, that are going through this awful experience, to know that it’s okay to be frustrated we can’t help it at first but that doesn’t mean you let this terrorism to dominate your lives.
It has to stop and you, as an individual has a voice, speak up, initially it might seem daunting but you can do it, know that. Even for those who don’t (cannot speak, that is) let someone know, in fact, voice or no voice you need to let your friends and family know, even a favourite teacher because no one has to face it alone.

These are not my jokes. In fact they weren’t even sent to me. They were sent to someone I used to supervise, who used her work e-mail to get and receive jokes and letters from her daughter ….. I never did see any work related e-mails in her in or out box. Oh well. Poor thing had a brain tumor and died recently.
