I Don't Get It

Why do we place such a high importance on what our favorite or least favorite celbrity  says or does?  What is it about high end actors, singers, sports figures that draw us in to thier drama and mystique? More importantly, why is it that  they get paid ridculoisly large sums of money and adorned, treated like royalty for doing somehting that comes naturaly and love while the rest of us force ourselves into jobs we don't always like and yep, have to learn how to do and get paid just enough to get by on.
  I never understood why sports and the entertainment industry job slots get top dollar. It seems as though anyone with a pulse these days can cut thier teeth in either of those industries providing of corse you don't mind losing your clothes and dignity if you're a woman and all privacy rights.  It should be no surprise when we see people with no ability to sing end up on American Idol or X Factor, who the hell wouldn't want a chance to be part of all that and pull in crazy money in the process.
  Of course the proven standbys anything medical,law high end business where years of college and ability still lord over stabilty and rewarding not mention a more than comfortbale money pull. Even though celebrity status can fluxuate they still make more. I do understand that entertainers and sports figures have grueling schedules and crazy demands and no privacy but should that validate being paid more than the president of this country?

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical.

Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
