Oh how I yearn to be there! But even more so... it is all about Switzerland at this particular moment.
Haven't updated in such a long time. Partly due to laziness (or should I say BUSINESS) and the other part is that this place no longer holds the meaning that it once did. Alas, these things happen though.
Saw an ABC special on Oprah.. and despite all of the bashing that she gets, I still like her or rather respect her for building a whole mini-army/empire of woman. The show was about stopping things that you see are blatantly wrong. For example, a man screaming and hitting his girlfriend in public, a woman spotting her best friend's fiance cheating in a cafe with another woman, and my personal favorite. A young mother with two small chidren about to get in her vehicle and drive away when it is very obvious that she is intoxicated.
What would you do? That is the title of the show. Hard-hitting was my first impression. But even more shocking were the results. Men did nothing but keep walking past the actors.. women did not simply stop.. they openly engaged themselves into the display. I think that speaks volumes.
I passed out in my car the other day. For about five minutes. I reached out for my Blackberry and that was the last thing that I remember. The next memory that I have is waking up to my cell phone on the floor board and my ignition still running. It was scary to say the least. I am so glad that I felt it coming on and pulled off the road. :)
Have been experimenting with different bands lately. Happy to report that I managed to grasp a few more. My friend Eugene is promoting a newly found rock band that is AMAZING!! Their name is Better Luck Tomorrow and I may be involved in whole "arrival" process because they are a local SA band.
I have been playing with names for my new "blog". Well, because.. I think I have stated my reasons already. I need a safe place. And a new place where I am more motivated and feel acknowledged.
The possible names are:
adnileb
andbeli
andlibe
neblida
deblina
But the real possibilities are
bad nile
and bile
I think the last two are a purrfect fit considering my TOXIC past. Those are the words that some use to describe me.
Oh.. and I am now in the process of training for a mini-marathon. Or rather a marathon. I haven't made a decision regarding the 13 mile or the 26 mile yet. But I think I will opt for the 13, since I have already conquered the 7 mile test.
A few more updates to come.
Peace to all,
