Warm and twisted suger cubes...
Starry-eyed wookie stunt doubles...
Disco Magic and spin cycles...
So randomness is hard to plan and even harder to duplicate.
Case in point, Reality TV has taken on a life of its own caught somewhere between fact and fiction by picking and choosing what reality can be. Let's take a step back and a sideways glance... feelings are not as easy to fake as emotions. Although you were caught up in the drama and realize it was just for the cameras did you not become affected by the human condition and at the same time took solace in the fact that you were comfortably shielded by the fact that you were just watching / along for the ride. I do not believe we can chalk this up to escapism as much as it is forced immersion into the human condition by witnessing and internalizing social interactions that we are not fortunate / unfortunate enough to experience...
When are my fifteen minutes up and can I spread them out Ala NFL by taking well timed time-outs?
Can we then pose questions on the poses taken?
So much planning and no real training...
Had we truly started freeing the pink?
So much time had been spent on organizing that our muse had taken an extended coffee break. This dawned on me as i got stuck on Animal Planet when trying to find the Gold Cup game...
Watching these turkeys get, for lack of a better word, herded and collected I could almost hear the light bulb get switched on.
We did not need a dry run or another crazy scavenger hunt. We needed hands on, grab a freagin angry bird, and run training. I started making phone calls to every turkey packaging company I could think of to ask how and where one could become a Turkey-catching-grabbing type person... It was not till the 50th phone call that I had found the needle in the haystack. You gotta love some of the hippies. The voice on the other line told me that they were a time-banking operation and would love for a group of us to stop by to help with the "harvest" and in return we could gain the equal worth in service hours or products for our work...
(Time banking is an awesome concept / practice:) look it up)
We rounded up the crew and set to the task of organizing the trip.
Next stop Hippie Turkey Farm!!!
Channel surfing on borrowed time...
Procrastination and deadlines.
Smile if you can and laugh if you want to. Who can stop you from doing either?
Take joy in what you have and stock of your dreams. In sleep we are creators and in day light we are believers of those dreams. Make it happen my friends.
