You Say....God Says....

I am always collecting pictures off the web, I guess you could call it a hobby I have hundreds maybe thousands of them that fall into many different categories, most of the time I can remember where I found a particular one but sometimes I find one that I don't remember.  That is the case with this one and thats why I am posting it so more people can benefit from it.

Stupid Asinine Idiocy

LOOK OUT......RANT forthcoming.....and this one's a bender!!!

Ok so check this out.  I went to the library today to use one of their laptops because my drop box and drive accounts are a mess and have been driving me crazy so I wanted to see if I could organize them some by going through my photography and weeding out the lesser pictures because I take them in series' as well as by going through and deleting multiples of pictures that I have collected elsewhere, so anyway on with my story.

I'm sitting there minding my own business a and fighting with Dropbox and couldn't figure out how to see the pictures large....er...than a thumbnail and I muttered under my breath "oh my gosh....really".  Now seriously for friends and family and others that know me in the real world, letting loose with a string of expletives that could make a grizzled old pirate run away crying is really no big thing for me at times.... sad but true, which actually makes my story just that much more ironic really. 

So next thing I know, this woman that had been sitting at the next table next to mine is knelt down at my table looking at me and proceeds to tell me that "gosh" is actually an  alteration of 'God' and that she wouldn't say it if she were me.....or some drivel.  At that point I just let my face fall in my hands.  I think I might have said something about maybe she should mind her own business first but sitting there with my face in my hands going....WTH....and then I sat up straight in my chair and looked around and thought....NO!!!!!  In a voice loud enough for her to hear but not disturb anyone else nearby I started talking about how sad it is that with all the problems in the world today that people have nothing better to do with their time that to put their noses in other people's faces about such trivial "bullshit", now understand that as I began my little speech for her benefit that I had stood up and unplugged and closed the laptop,  unplugged the mouse, coiled the cords and grabbed my purse and just as I said "bs" with added emphasis for effect I did an about face and walked away.

I'm sorry this is going to sound incredibly harsh but.... Actually no....I am not one bit sorry for my opinion on this one.  If someone is seriously THAT easily offended they really just need to find a way to put themselves out of everyone else's misery permanently.  The world has enough stupidity in it already and this woman just takes stupid asinine idiocy to a whole new meaning.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Seagull in a Snowstorm

Taken 11/16/13 in Brigham City Utah.   Our first snow in the valley this season.  I love my town,  it's the greatest place to live in the country or maybe the world!

My artwork - One of my passions - Roses

I love to take pictures of any kind of natural setting.  I do my best to compose my shots as devoid of signs of people and civilization as possible.  Anything that catches my eye as I'm out walking that takes my breath away and reminds me of the beauty of God's creation and His hand in all things.   I try very hard to keep my heart spiritually timed to hear his voice whether literally as my faith believes in personal revelation our in the beauty of a flower.   Which ever the case may be.  My artwork and photographs will always be marked with my watermark to prevent image theft.  They will always be available for sale through a number of means including contacting me by phone and my number is listed on my Facebook page if you have access and know where to look, as well interested persons should be able to find my email in my Google profile so the short story is that I call myself a photographer/artist this does not mean I pretend to have any kind of formal training that would classify me as any kind of "professional" it is simply something that I really enjoy doing and I hope that the people that read my blog and my Facebook and any other web presence that I have will enjoy my pictures enough to buy them in whatever form,  digital download for an avatar or for personal stationary or be it a large print sent through the mail suitable for framing to hang on the wall.
