What's Your Name Again?

Remember FLAMES, that thing where you cross out the same letters from your name and your crush's to test your compatibility? Tee-hee...Well, yours truly still gets a kick from inane games like that. Here's one that can "read" you by your name...

Not Just For Singles

I read this article, Seven Myths Single Women Believe, and knew I just HAD to share it with __, and __, and... But then I was being unfair. We all have warped ideas about ourselves, and so I rethought it for myself, for my daughter, and especially for the young women I lead. What do we have ingrained in our minds through teaching, counsel, practice, and imposed ideology/guilt?

[Teaser]
"Here are seven of the most deadly myths:

God will give me a husband when I'm ready.
God views me more as a useful tool than a beloved child.
When it's the right guy, I'll just know.
When I get married, then my life will begin.
Marriage will/will not meet my deepest needs.
There must be something wrong with me. If I could just figure out what it is, I could fix it and guys would start showing interest.
The older I get, the less likely it is that I will find someone."

So go on, read the article in full. © 2007 Suzanne Hadley on Boundless Webzine

Rockin' Love, a sequel

The shackles are undone...
The bullet's quit the gun...
The heat that's in the sun...
Will keep us when there's none...
The rule has been disproved...
The stone it has been moved...
The grave is now a groove...
All debts are removed

Oh can't you see what love has done
What it's doing to me

Oh can't you see what love has done
To every broken heart

Oh can't you see what love has done
For every heart that cries

Love left a window in the skies
-- U2, "Window in the Skies"

I've been compiling my Top 10 U2 Videos, and I just posted # 5 today. The song has so ministered to me that I decided to blog it here as a sequel to Rockin' Love, Bono's acceptance "Preach" at the NAACP* Awards Night last March 2, 2007 where he received the Chairman's Award for his The One Campaign" to Make Poverty History.


"Window In The Skies" is one of two new cuts on their latest album U218 Singles.

I discovered this track and fell in love with it in much the same way as I usually did the rest of the U2's hits... via its video. I watched it over and over, got the kids to watch it, had a ball finding the band in the crowd, etc, etc.
Well, see it for yourself: Version 1

Not to be outdone, Version 2

And lastly,Version 3....... Masterpieces all

Weird Happens

Mikey tagged me with his blog "im not THAT weird. i think.", where he wrote stuff about himself like: "When I'm bored, I create a wrestling match with my fingers" and "i can fold my ears so they close."

He was tagged by Kyera (yes, i know. i'm weird.), who wrote: "i alcogel the alcogel bottle."

Nikki, in her version Maybe I'm not that weird after all, confesses, "When I was young, I imagined that my left leg was a one-eyed elephant." and "I was part of a patintero varsity. (for a month. Hahahaha.)"

And these are kids I <3!

So, it's my turn...

Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 15 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.

ONE. I love watching gory detective stuff, particularly serial killers (Hannibal, Bone Collector, Law&Order: SVU).

TWO. On the other hand, I'm terrified of dracula/vampire/witch movies.

THREE. My childhood nickname is "Jewel"

FOUR. I'm a "junior", named after my mom, Ida Marie Villalon because they were expecting a boy junior for my dad.

FIVE. I'm the only leftie in my immediate family...none of my sibs, nor my parents, nor my kids are lefties

SIX. My left pinky is crooked...in exactly the same way my dad's pinky is too

SEVEN. I'm prone to depression which is opposite of my rep/image/career. This explains my need for caffeine and upbeat music

EIGHT. Despite my #7 quirk, I was voted class PRO (public relations officer) all four years of high school

NINE. My sisters and I (and now my kids), lapse into momentary empty staring where we get lost in thought in the middle of a crowded /noisy room

TEN. Road rage runs in the family (like an actual disease). I finally got over it when I stuck a "Brother Eddie" poster on my car a few years back

[Can't believe this is easier than I thought!]
ELEVEN. I love any kind of puzzle (jigsaw, crosswords, mind twister)

TWELVE. I can't travel without a crossword puzzle book (or cut-out from a newspaper) tucked in my handcarry. [A habit I developed in high school]... I stash them in every handbag, by my bedside, in my banyo, in my luggage like a junkie

THIRTEEN. My sister Gia used to cut out and save the newspaper crosswords whenever I travel out of the country

FOURTEEN. Like Mikey, I love rainy days, especially car rides in the rain

FIFTEEN. I used to run in the track team in HS

Now I tag ThelmaB, the Hensons, Biko, my contact list, Chrina, MikeG, Jose, JudyC, Carlos-Vitto-Mariel
