Laural Hollow Park, Newell, West Virginia

The most perfect, private, little place :) Tasha drives passed this little park on a daily basis on her way to work and has expressed her interest to me several times.  The park's entrance is all you can see from the street, because the entire place is engulfed in trees! We decided to explore! Paths wind into one another and lead into the opening of the park, which is set up to be amphitheater.  It's actually an old Polar Bear Den re-purposed as the stage, and is surrounded by benches that I believe to have been donated. It's a really neat little park.  From what I understand, they hold concerts and other community events here.  You can view more info on the website : http://www.laurelhollowpark.net/

I only want to help.

My entire life, I have been that girl. The girl that worries. The girl that cares.  The girl that always has to get involved and voice her opinion. The counselor, the confidant, the go-to. I have some innate instinct to play mother hen to any person I come across whom may seem unhappy, upset, or in need of a friend. I have even found myself hugging complete strangers at the pharmacy counter because I noticed them crying or distraught. For the most part, I can say that being an empathetic person has given me the highest level of fulfillment and the attainment of incomparable bonds and relationships. On the other hand, being critically involved in the lives of others is pretty tricky business. People don't always want to hear the truth.  Sometimes people don't want a solution.  They don't want to be understood.   They want to be pitied and comforted.  That's the kind friend I have trouble being. When something is wrong, I can't just let it be....

My new favorite web stop: The Mind Unleashed

I was breezing through my Facebook news feed when I stumbled across this post: Post by The Mind Unleashed . "We seek to break the chains of conventional thinking and inspire others to get involved and help create big change on the planet. We believe that we are in the midst of a massive paradigm shift, and many are starting to realize that business as usual means that we will travel down a path of half-conscious self destruction. Here you will find a healthy mixture of information related to activism, aw areness, and personal growth. If ordinary people really knew that consciousness and not matter or material possessions is the link that connects us with each other and the world, then their views about war and peace, environmental pollution, social justice, religious values, and all other human endeavors would change radically. Join the Global Shift in Awareness! "          -The Mind Unleashed (description) The website is amazing, c...

Welcome To My Randomness...

I am Mercurian

I take the role of observer, avid for novelties, discoveries, and surprises.  Everything catches my attention and becomes an opportunity for new encounters, relationships, and learning.  The world amazes me, amuses me, and sometimes stimulates my curiosity.  Because the most important thing is to discover, and because I consider that each new situation is packed with potentialities, I try to fill the gaps in my knowledge. Although my open-mindedness may scatter my centers of interest, it also enables me to carefully avoid sticking to only one immutable and rigid view.  The slightest sign enables me to perceive the other side of the coin, as well as the infinite complexity of people and of situations... These above are not my own words, but rather an incorporation of interpretations of my natal chart.  Don't know wth I'm talking about?? LOL.  You Can Read More Here : Born December 30, 1982, I am Capricorn

Am I Wrong? Niko & Vinz

Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay? Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way? I ain't trying to do what everybody else doing Just cause everybody doing what they all do If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home So am I wrong? For thinking that we could be something for real? Now am I wrong? For trying to reach the things that I can't see? But that's just how I feel, That's just how I feel That's just how I feel Trying to reach the things that I can't see Am I tripping for having a vision? My prediction: I'ma be on the top of the world Walk your walk and don't look back, always do what you decide Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel Am I wrong? (Am I wrong?) For thi...

I found a Giant Silk Moth: Cecropia Moth (Hyalophora cecropia)

As I was opening the tower for Test-N-Tune this afternoon, I was met by this huge butterfly, or so I thought. After setting up, I had a few minutes and decided to try to identify my new friend.  Well, turns out...  He is a Giant Silk Moth.  The largest species of moths in North America. This one is a male.  Only the males have the large feathery antennas.  I am pretty lucky to lay eyes on this guy, since his adult life only lasts approximately two weeks.   Read More on Wiki: Hyalophora Cecropia

Born December 30th, 1982, I am a Capricorn

I have a terrible time wrapping my mind around the intangible.  Fortune Teller Hocus Pocus isn't for me.  I am - on the other hand - very interested in observing how people in history evaluated or measured their surroundings to better understand their world.  So, today, I am going to explore horoscopic astrology.  We'll see if I can't map my destiny :) The following is not an original article and not in my own words.   It is a journey of my readings copied & pasted here for you to follow... (The following excerpts were taken from Wikipedia.com) Horoscopic astrology is a form of astrology that uses a horoscope, a visual representation of the heavens, for a specific moment in time in order to interpret the inherent meaning underlying the alignment of the planets at that moment. The idea is that the placement of the planets at any given moment in time reflects the nature of that moment and especially anything that is born then, and this can...
