Happy Birthday Leo!

Like most Leos, I am very proud to be born under this particular sign of the Zodiac.  Unless you are a Leo or have never had the privilege to have a Leo in your life, you really don't know how we are.     Though I can't even begin to imagine no one ever knowing a Leo at some point in their life.   Wow!  Don't even want to think about that!  *LOL*

Now for those who do know us, tolerate us and love us and understand us...THANK YOU!    Your friendship and kinship is very much appreciated.

Leos are not the easiest to get along with.  But if a Leo loves you, you are loved until the end of days.  If you are a true friend to Leo, Leo is loyal to the end of all time or until you fuck up and prove yourselves unworthy.  Then it is most definitely clobbering time!  *LOL*  But it's okay.  Leos are very forgiving.  They don't like wasting their energies on grudges for the most part.  Deity of your choosing forbid if you are one of the unfortunate to be on the receiving end of a Leo's grudge however!  It is pretty intense.  Trust me! 

To my fellow Leos...you guys rock the multi-verses!  Yea! I know you already know that!  But it's really nice to be told that.  C'mon!  You know it is!  *LOL*

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Leo being, they are royalty!  There is no compromise in this regard. The lion is the symbol of our magnificent clan.  And it suits us Leos very well.  And like the real lion...we Leos are Kings & Queens!  Except me.  For you see cherished readers of my blog,  I am the Empress of the Known & Unknown Universes™ ! (self proclaimed...of course!)  *LOL*

You will discover (if you haven't already) that Leos such as myself are very honorable and devoted.  And yes, there are times when we are primarily devoted to our Leo self!  But even so, our "subjects"  are beloved to we Leo folk.   We are very loyal in that regard. 

While Leo is always center stage and full of flair, we will step aside and allow others to enjoy the glow.  Well  some times.   You see...it's very difficult to not notice a Leo.  We are children of the Sun after all!  I mean have you ever really tried to not notice the Sun???!!! 

Others are attracted to Leo's wit, charm and what they have to say for they speak of things grand and very interesting!  They can spin a yarn and tell you things you never considered or even knew!  And do it in a very entertaining way.  

You will find Leos to be very  generous, kind and openhearted people.  But just remember this, never mistake their kindness, generosity and openness as a weakness!   Just a healthy reminder to those unfamiliar to the great Leo...they will strike back with force if crossed!  Can't stress that enough.  But again,  no worries, Leos are not one to hold a grudge.  They easily forgive, forget and move on.   Well most of the time!  *LOL*

Leos are always trying to make things right in the world, they have larger then life emotions and they need to feel like they have accomplished something at the end of the day. They react to situations with action instead of sitting back and thinking about it, they are not impulsive however because they look at the future and consider consequences of their actions. 

A Leo person loves love and loves to love.  And they love knowing they are needed and wanted.  They are very tender and giving to those they deem worthy. And if you give a Leo love, devotion and especially  your undivided attention...well you have a friend who will be by your side throughout all eternity.  A friend who will defend and protect you at all costs.

Now I ask you...how friggin awesome is THAT???!!!

    My 55th Birthday "OR" How Many Quotes Can An Empress Quote Before She Forgets What She's Talking About?

    On July 25th I will be 55 years old.  Wow!  55 years old.  Quite remarkable really!  Even if I do say so myself.  And I do.     

    Funny thing about my birthday these last few years.   Each time I have sat down to share my thoughts nothing happens.  It's like my mind goes completely blank.  It's not like I don't have anything to say.  Anyone of you that have read my articles posted here can attest to that!   And it's not that I have any issues talking about myself. My family and close friends can attest to that!   But for some odd reason when it comes to talking about my birthday I'm just lost.    

    Well this year I am determined to post something--anything--with respect to my birthday.  I mean let's face facts here people.   My being born was an awesome event.  At least it was for me.   I had plans!  I had hopes and dreams!  I had a mission!  And then...everything else happened.  Everything but what I had planned that is.  Interestingly enough, the whole time I was growing up I kept thinking to myself...this is not what I signed up for.  THIS is not the way it's supposed to be going.  

    I literally lived that life is what happens when you're busy doing something else thing.  Thank you John Lennon!

    Now that my children are all grown and doing their own thing, I walk around with this deer caught in headlights look.  Yea, I've gotten a few things accomplished in my life.  But there is so much more I want to do.  I read about these people who set out on their paths much later in life.  While I admire them for going for it, I want to know where they get the energy to even do it!  For crissakes I can barely drag myself out of bed these days.  Can't get going until I've had at least two pots of coffee.  And what in the hell are all those aches and pains??!  For the love of Buddha!  I am hurting in places I didn't even know existed!  It's crazy!  Great!  Now I have that "I've fallen and can't get up" commercial playing in my head!!!

    A few years back I could literally do 12 different things at once.  Now I consider myself lucky if I can remember 12 things!  I'm still trying to figure out how I can remember something that happened 50 years ago, but couldn't tell you what took place 5 minutes ago.  What the hell is up with that?

    For example, I remember telling my daddy on my 5th birthday...I'm never gonna grow up!  And so far, I've kept that promise!  I may not have a choice in growing old, but I do have a choice about growing up!  Growing up is for people who just give up.  And I am not a giver upper!   My get up and gone might have got up and quit.  But I'll never grow up.  Not me!  No sireee!    Great!  Now I hear Mary Martin singing in my head!


    I know I've gotten old when every sentence starts with...back when I was younger.  Seriously???!  Back when I was younger?  When did I get old?   To quote old Rose from the movie Titanic  "... And it looks the same as it did last time I saw it... The reflection's changed a bit."   Wonderful!  Now Celine Dion is singing in my head!  OY!


    *~*~*~*~*


    In my heart I'm still a youngster filled with so much hope and dreams.   And I know it ain't over 'til it's over!  I got lots more books to write, lots more sig tags to create and lots more people to meet and places to visit before I check out!

    As long as there's coffee to drink I'll managed.   (And a little help from my friends).  Sheesh!  Now the Beatles are singing in my head.  Wait!  Someone's actually playing it!  Whew!  

    At any rate, it's been a great journey so far.  *pauses.  Hears silence. Continues writing*   Seeing the road ahead, the sign posts...OH CRAP!  Now the Carpenters are singing We've Only Just Begun!  

    Okay!  Okay!  that's it!

      *~*~*~*~*~*



    To ALL my fellow Leos I wish you the happiest of birthdays!

    OMG!  Birthday songs in my head!   Okay so what was I talking about again???!!

    See  what happens when you get old??!!!    

    *LOLOLOLOL*

      Fourth of July Sig Tags Featuring the beautiful Garv Girls














      Traveling Through the BlogASphere With A Rant With No Name "OR" How I Declared My Independence From Political Correctness


      NEWS FLASH:  Try as I might I have NO fucking control over how any one feels.  Therefore, I can't, in good conscious, take responsibility for said feelings of said others.    And believe you me, if I could control others' feelings the world would be a happier place.  Everybody, and I do mean EVERY BODY, would get along.  

      But I have no control over any of that.   Reason being is  (1) that mind control machine I got off Ebay does NOT work!  And I can't get a refund because I kinda, sorta, okay I wore out that button that says PUSH HERE.   


      And (2)...  duct taping people to cacti in the middle of the desert appears to be illegal in all 50 states. Not really sure why.  Something about kidnapping, torture, inhumane treatment and cruelty to wildlife (I was told coyotes can't really digest people. It makes them very sick--the coyotes not the people).  Go figure!  And that whole idea of a gigantic sling shot aimed at the the center of the sun is out too.  Airspace disputes, space program blah blah blah.  

      Okay so I came up with a few ideas that may actually be legal. 

      Those who don't take responsibility for their own feelings and get offended easily should be charged with neglect.    

      Neglecting your own personal growth and such should be taken very seriously.   Laugh if you must, but I am of a strong belief that if every single whiny ass wussy politically correct fuck-tard were made to take charge of their own feelings, they would finally shut the fuck up and leave the rest of us alone.  

       Totally win/win here folks.  Think it over.  

      Negligence of taking responsibility for your own feelings should come with a serious monetary fine and a threat of being made to scrape road kill off the highways and by ways during a blistering heat wave.  This would give offenders  something to remember the next time they even attempt to consider anything politically correct and/or taking offense over something that is petty and just stupid and the rest of the world finds funny and/or non-offensive and/or non-threatening.  


      And for those  who cater to those who refuse to take responsibility of their own feelings would have to be punished as well.  Not as severe mind you.  But fair is fair.  And I'm all about being fair.    Being an accomplice comes with it's own repercussions don't cha know.

      A suitable punishment that doesn't include duct tape was difficult.  But I managed to pull one out of my ass.  

      I'm thinking that the punishment should be  a heart felt apology video dedicated to the rest of us who are responsible and respectful and don't fall under the whiny ass oh I'm incapable of taking responsible for my own feelings because I'm a little  cry baby priss category.  

      Said video would be an apology for all those times you fence sitting nits caved in to those irresponsible assholes who insisted that everyone (BUT THEM) is responsible for how they personally feel.  

      The apology would explain and attempt to justify why they carried out actions that were unjust, unfair and just plain ridiculous to the rest of us who suck it up.  They would apologize for hurting the feelings and/or causing some sort of harm of  all  persons who are not politically correct and not easily offended but are totally beyond sick and tired of those who are!

      This video would be posted on You Tube and advertised on every single social network on the Internet.  We would charge for viewing and all monies would go to a charity to be named at a later date.   I think that should suffice.  For now.  At least until they make it legal for me to duct tape people to cactus and we can find a suitable anti-acid for coyotes. 



      These are just ideas.  But, they are Ideas that I believe will one day become a reality.   I mean not too long ago somebody had this silly little  idea that the world was round.  That all worked out...eventually.  

      Freedom from the easily offended and politically correct is what I am working towards.  Independence from fuck tards! Wow!  Can you imagine how much better the world would be without them?  I've seen this world if only in my mind.  It's a wonderful world filled with happy responsible people who actually get along with every one.  


      WOW!  What a friggin concept!  EVERYBODY getting along!


      *sigh*



      DISCLAIMER:   I'm not one who goes around deliberately hurting other people's feelings.  And I am not suggesting, implying or saying out right that any of you set out to do that.  No.  What I am saying is this...we all should be comfortable with who we are as people.  And our comfort does not  include catering, coddling and licking the ass of those who can't manage to take responsibility for their own feelings.

      Feelings 
      They're YOURS!  
      Own them!  
      Take responsibility for them!
      Do it NOW!
      Do it OFTEN!
      Just DO IT! 

      For those who are responsible for their own feelings...

       I SALUTE YOU!


      For those who declare their independence from all things politically correct... 


      I SALUTE YOU!


      You are the few and nearly extinct individuals who still believe change can and will happen!
