Warped Gratitude Blog

Today I am thankful that I understand witchcraft. A few days ago, one of my Facebook friends tried to recruit me to take part in a ritual to bind Donald Trump. I gotta tell ya, the ritual is bunk.  I'll write more about that later. By now, the story has hit all the major news outlets.  If you want to read about it, click this link: http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/02/25/witches-cast-spell-donald-trump-crescent-moon-removal-office There are two types of binding spells.  One type of binding spell is super evil, it binds another human being to you, whether or not they want it.  When I was seventeen,  a cutie put weird stuff in my coffee.  That was his attempt at a binding spell.  I think it worked.  I still love him.  I love him enough to hide from him.  I also know how to break bad spells.  I probably should.....but...why bother?  The knowledge that I would hurt the one I love is surely enough to stop the spell from doing harm to him. Speaking of preventing harm, the

Today I am thankful I haven't forgotten my background. I left the Libertarian Party out of deference to my Gods.  I got used to the assholes in the party.  Most people are civil.  Most people can speak without being offensive morons. It was the .02% I couldn't stand when they'd shame women. Every party has smelly sexist assholes. The Democrat assholes threaten to kill you. The Republican assholes tell you to make them sandwiches. The Libertarian assholes will tell you that women are only as free as the men that own them say they are.  I'm not joking, there are Libertarian men who believe that men should have the final say as to a woman's reproductive options.  The Anarchist asshole I met would get upset if you had anything to do with the government (e.g. hold a driver's license, pay your taxes, call the police when you see a car in a crash, compliment the mayor and so on) but threatened to lie to the cops to get a restraining order against a per

I'm not sure what to be thankful for today. I'll start free writing and see if I have something.... So....about 11:00 a.m., I found myself in a meeting. I was pulled out of that meeting into another meeting.  All of my workmates were there. We were all terminated. While everyone sat in the meeting gathering their bearings, I was yanked out of that meeting and brought into another meeting with a head honcho from Corporate. I wasn't supposed to be in the termination meeting.  They sent me to a third meeting. They want me to work from home....with my stalker crap. So....I may as well be terminated. They let go of eighty people today.  They kept twelve of us.  So.... Maybe I'm thankful for LinkedIn.  I'm finding myself trying to hunt down the eighty people fired and write recommendations for the ones I know. I guess I'm going to have to start posting my inspirational stuff to Facebook again. I think people are going to need it. ****

Today I am thankful for the lessons learned by watching the body language of a seven year old boy of middle eastern descent. I am not happy about his body language. He taught me something. At first I was sad. Now, I am angry. ****** I used to be vegetarian. I was awesomely skinny when I didn't eat meat. It was nice. I didn't seam to age either. Perhaps it was a subconscious thing.  My step-father was Cherokee and he would say that we had to thank animals before killing them and use every part of the animal.  If you didn't do that, you would ingest all the pain and loss of the animal that was disrespected. The problem was, when I was vegetarian, my hair started to fall out. I would faint a lot. At the time, I thought it was due to my lack of protein.  It turns out I'm allergic to eggs, soy and peanuts.  Those were my primary sources of protein. I also have asthma due to the allergies.  I probably should move because I'm allergic to th

Today I am thankful for the strange euphemisms in the English language.   I have a strange day job. I coach sales agents.  I call them.  I listen to them.  I give them tips. Today, I called one. She was perfect! She was awesome.  She had a gorgeous voice that let callers know that they were the most important people in the universe. I could not ask a single question to throw her off her game. She was great. I had to tell her that she was good. We spoke a bit about the hardships of sales. And she said.... " That's the way things are.  There are some things we can't do.  We can't fight city hall." I said... "Well, you can fight city hall.  Government officials just like to harass people who stand up to them.  If that fails, then they try to make you feel guilty when you win." This person is an immigrant.  I'm wondering if her statement betrays her fears surrounding Donald Trump's presidency.  I didn't ask.  I h

Today I am thankful for a reminder that living in faith can be beautiful.   I used to live my life as a bohemian. I used to dress like one, too. I probably still could.  I have many lace dresses and leather boots.  I think in my fantasy world, I look like Stevie Nicks. In reality, I'm told I look like Susan Sarandon (think old school Rocky Horror Picture Show). This is probably part of the reason I got the modeling gig when I was younger.  The other reason was that my sister was making fun of my appearance in front of a model scout.  He handed me his card, a pen and an application for a modeling contest.  I came in tenth and scored a couple of gigs before I decided a hated it. Not bad for someone who just wanted to grow up to be a music teacher, eh? In actuality, I probably look like Ms. Piggy now.  I'm a size 12.  I've got to stop drinking soda. Anyway.... I used to live and dress like a bohemian.  By that I mean that nothing stressed me out.  The docto

Today I am thankful for dark dreams. Yes, I'm still having strange dreams.  I'm trying to chase them away with allergy medication.  I don't think it's working. So, I still have dreams of men from my past.  Okay, one man from the past. My subconscious mind must be trying to work something out. I want to know why I suck in relationships so badly. I'm avoiding men like the plague.  They want to rescue me. I find an excuse to do the Irish good-bye (sneaking out the back without saying a word). I decided that gaining weight would keep them away. No, weight gain just hurts my joints. I'm getting to the point of eating salad at every meal.  It's nice. For once in my life I can eat real food....not the protein shakes and diet dr. office crap. I used to hate eating food because it made me sick.  I didn't realize I was allergic to most of it.  No milk, no wheat, no soy, no bananas, no nuts, no shellfish... I love tofu but can
