Predictably Unpredictable passionate about art, design, photography and everything under the sun insomniac gypsy who is marching to the beat of her own drum…
She cannot stand injustice and judgmental prejudiced people but loves gardening…
hiking…
taking long walks…
and stormy weather.
This girl doesn’t like crowd, bling-bling, noises- rules -make up- stilettos and roses especially red because they are so common. Give her prairie/wild flowers instead___
or a good book (she cannot live without)
so, she can curl up in the hammock enjoying the gentle breeze, buzzing of insects and bird singing in the background for this melancholic choleric nocturnal creature enjoys freedom and solitude too much she is most happy when she is alone…
For those who are curious how the name of my blog and tag line came to being, and why I am here blogging publicly instead of keeping a private journal… you can read the explanation here and here.
Oh, before I forget, I only write true-to-life stories. If you find yourself having trouble believing some of it; remember, reality is stranger than fiction…
(P.S. All my scribbles good or bad are all copyrighted. So, I would appreciate if no one would re-produce them without my consent. Thank you)
After going through your writings I was not surprised that you love wild flowers more than roses. And that you like solitude. You write like in a beautiful dream.

Today, once again commenting on your comment about blogging U; I realized that our exchanges of ideas will increase over the time; so, today, I specifically visited your blog;
MY FIRST HAND REPORT ABOUT YOUR BLOG;
It is a rare combination of hard work, plain pleasure & hobby.
From your post it seems,initially writing might have been your hobby but now you have reach up to the stage where it became plain pleasure; a effortless process.
From your each image it is clearly visible that how much efforts, planning, certain objectives you put it as a hard work.

“KEEP IT UP”

I write from the heart and always will be. I’m perfectionist and an OCD I don’t do half-a$$ job (pardon the french) no amount of success can change that so, complacency will never be an issue as far as I’m concerned.

I wonder about your remark Robin. I wonder why you love Frost’s poem which is described as the “best-known, most-often-misunderstood poem on the planet”. I find it a rather uncomfortable poem, frankly, but we all have our preferences and I am sure you have good reasons for loving it so much. I am probably just a grumpy old man. Take care and happy Easter.

Long time since I have taken time to check my WordPress. One reason I love Frost is his straight forward content and The Road Not Taken poem is no different. Its meaning is plain. It might be a little uncomfortable, but such is life, and that is something Frost seems to capture in an efficient use of words that paint scenes the reader can step into (just my opinion). I also like its rhyme and meter. Thanks for the Easter greeting. Cheers!

Sure Robin, you are right. I like the way Frost opens up on how duplicitous people really are rather than how they first seem. It’s refreshing.
LikeLiked by 1 person
I don’t think Frost it’s speaking about the duplicity of people toward one another, but possibly how we deceive ourselves. In the poem, faced with equal choices, the person makes a choice, knowing he will tell himself something different about his choice one day – the stories we tell ourselves to make us feel better about our choices. I hope you enjoy the day!

I enjoyed your about page. It was very nicely done. I need to give better thought to mine. I think i was too hasty. i really liked the picture of you in the chair with the book, peeking around the edge. I like pictures that tell a story, not just the stand and smile shot so many people do. But I’m not a photographer. I’d like to be but i think i will have to keep that for my next life.
I have a blog I started a little over a year ago called’ My Name is Jamie. Life in Prison’. http://mynameisjamie.net. It was hosted at a site – blog.com – an awful place. The lights were on but the management had gone fishing. There was NO community, and absolutely no way to get help. After months of incredible frustration I moved it to wordpress. Since I didn’t know anything about the power of a community I didn’t participate. Now things are changing and I’m taking the 101 course to learn the finer points I didn’t pick up on. My first blog is very focused in it’s theme and I can’t share the posts of other people on it or write about things off topic.
so…I have a brand new blog, started the day after Christmas to do just that. Watch and Whirl http://watchandwhirl.wordpress.com. I’m having fun reblogging great posts. I will be back to read more of yours since you have gotten such great feedback here!
