What the F@&k is Washroom Etiquette?!

*Not applicable to the wonderful ladies who continue to practice good Washroom Etiquette*

To the rest of you......

Dear Pigs,

I honestly don't understand how some of you continue to miss the toilet. The objective is to aim within the white ring. Not on it, around it or on the walls. As much as I can appreciate a great work of art, feces on a wall doesn't do it for me.

When I'm in the stall next to you, and you leave before me without washing your hands.....

I know you didn't wash your hands and you know you didn't wash your hands. Don't force me to look down at your footwear and stalk you armed with a bottle of hand sanitizer. I will do it!

FLUSH YOUR WASTE! Not sure what kind of a sick fetish you have with your excrement, but I'm not interested! Leave that Sh*t at home!

Put your litter in the garbage bins. Nobody wants to pick up your paper towels or used something or others. If I catch you doing this, I'm going to call you on it....No Mercy!

Last but not least, be Discreet with your Monthly Visiter! I don't have to break this one down, you know what I'm talking about here. Just don't do it! It's filthy and you're filthy!

Respect Washroom Etiquette! Think about the person who has to use the washroom after you. It could be a child, an eldery woman or a 30-ish woman who will wrangle you to the floor in a fit of anger!

Don't tempt me...


Cheers,

Sig.

Winding down .....

Everyone's asleep right now but me. Even Mr.Muggles is coiled up and resting peacefully in his cage. Why can't I sleep? Likely has something to do with the 3 XL Coffees I had earlier, along with the green tea. You're a Friggen Genius Sig!

Well, since I'm laying here, I might as well put this overactive brain to use. What the heck is up with me these days? I feel so darn dis-organized. Talk about, perfecting the Art of Chaos. Now I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Come on Sig, the world is full of suffering, stop feeling sorry for yourself!

All right, back on track.....

Life, what is the purpose of our existance? I mean seriously, it must be for observational purposes. We were created to be observed. Well, I suppose that makes sense. Give man a destination, throw in some free will and temptation, good/bad luck and see what happens. Ha! when you think of it that way, it kind of sounds like somebodies idea of a sick joke!

Life didn't come with an instruction manual, how do I know if I'm living mine right? Am I making the right decisions? I have no clue, I'm just wingin' it.

I kind of don't want to sleep right now. I won't dare think about that recurring dream I seem to have, every few years. The one with the Demon.... Crap! Too late.

Think happy thoughts! Nature, I like Nature...and trees and stuff...

But really, that dream was messed up. The demon was an Incubus, and he was super possessive!

Hmmm...Did I lock the door?!

Ok, so what do I want out of life? I mean, aside from the usual family, safety, success and all that stuff. What the heck do I REALLY want? Do my goals even make sense right now?

Like, material things....

Are just things. I could lose them in one day, and have nothing to show for it! Kind of seems like a waste to me...

But Dorian deserves so much more...and he needs space, and education and ..well, I could go on all night with this topic.

Yup, life.... She's a funny thing. All unpredictable and stuff. Just like that box, with the chocolates, ya never know...

Mmmmm...chocolate..

What if life was a Candy Land...only with Chocolate!

Chocolate bikes...

Chocolate Cars..

Chocolate Dogs.

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............

Does this Tattoo above my *ss, look like a Tramp Stamp?!

For the record, I don't have a tatt above my ass.

Unfortunately, we are living in a society, where tattoos have become a growing trend. Many associate tattoos on a woman as being promiscuous. I can assure you, that is not the case! Well, at least not in this case. I know plenty of women/girls who are without ink, and who are just as promiscuous. Tattoos have nothing to do with 'The Slut Factor'.

In fact, out of retaliation, I may just get a tatt on my lower back! Ha!

See, for some of us, tattoos actually have some sort of symbolism or meaning to them. We aren't all looking to be trendy.

Personally, I have 4 tattoos. They range from small to medium in size. Each of them have a meaning. Except for my first one (located on my lower left calf). It was suppose to be a Pointsettia as I was born in December. I could have put a bit more thought into that one.

I have a 'D' for my son Dorian (located on my inner, right wrist). I see it every day, it's simple and I know what it stands for.

I have a twig-like cross (located on my inner, left wrist). I struggled with this one for weeks before I settled on its design.

A typical, Latin Cross is symbolic of the Cross on which Christ was Crucified. I wanted my cross to symbolize Nature and Religion together.
At this time in my life, I looked towards the similarities between Paganism and Christianity.

Paganism is a very Natural, rustic belief in Polytheism and mythological rituals. I won't go on further with this particular topic......

The last tattoo I have, is a Scarab Beetle (located on my inner, right arm).

Ancient Egyptians had a marvelous Culture and Belief system. I often find myself referencing them when researching science, beauty care, religion and rituals. They have paved the way for many of our Rituals/traditions today.

I have a thing for Amulets: a small talisman symbolizing beneficent power, and is worn for protection and strength.

The Ancient Egyptians also believed in the power of Amulets. Scarab Beetles were considered Powerful Amulets. They were sacred and associated with the God of the rising Sun (Khepri). They represented regeneration, immortality and devine wisdom.

So remember, the next time you see a woman tattooed, it doesn't mean that your chances of getting laid are bumped up a notch. It doesn't mean that she is not religious. And, if you use the term 'Tramp Stamp' you may get kicked in the nuts! .......Just Sayin'

I Put that SH*T on EVERYTHING!

I like it Hot N' Spicy and Sour!

No really, I used to completely cover my food with a mountain of black pepper. Recently, during one of my detoxing fits, I came across a recipe for Lemonade which included a touch of Cayenne Pepper! Being my usual, unsual self, I gave 'er a try...and Bam! It was Love at first Sip. Now, I put that Sh*t on Everything! Ok, almost everything.

Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper(Capsicum):

* Great for circulation and helps to equalize blood pressure.
* Improves digestion and tummy issues.
* Great for Heartburn
* Cold remedy when mixed with honey

And it goes on and on......

My current love affair, does not end with Cayenne Pepper. I've also become quite fond of Lemon! Both are kept in my kitchen at all times.

Health Benefits of Lemon(Rutaceae):

* Lemon tea relieves headaches
* Known to help with asthma
* Good source of Vit C.
* Diminishes Allergies
* Detoxifier

And it goes on and on...

*WARNING- Being that Lemon is a Natural Detoxifier, taking in large amounts, will cause your skin to break out. This is because the lemon is ridding the body of impurities.So, be sure not to ingest too much before an important event...Trust Me! :S


Of course, before you decide to conclusively jump on the Hot n' Sour bandwagon, try it first in small doses. Everything in Moderation ;)

Master Cleanser Recipe: Always do your research and consult your Doctor before detoxing. Especially if you have health issues.

•2 Tablespoons of organic lemon Juice (about 1/2 a Lemon)
•2 Tablespoons of Organic grade B maple syrup (not the commercial maple flavored syrup)
•1/10 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper powder
•Ten ounces of filtered water

*Takes a bit to get used to but has great benefits!

Cheers!

Going from Shy to Less Shy

A topic close to home......

I'm your typical Extrovert trapped in an Introverts Body. Sounds like an Oxymoron? My whole life is an Oxymoron! Ok, enough of feeling sorry for myself, let's talk shy.

I'm super duper shy in a public setting. No really, like face turning fuschia pink shy.It's a horrible feeling and is often quite uncomfortable. So, here's what I did/do to kick Shy's Ass!

10 Steps to Kick Shy's Ass

1.) Own it Baby!
You are the boss of yourself. Stand up straight, puff out your chest (or not) and be Proud of who You Are!

2.) Make eye Contact!
I know, I know, this one is super tough. I find that by avoiding eye contact, people tend to think that you're a snob. Looking people in the eye shows confidence, or maybe you are a snob.... and that's ok!

3.) Say "Hello"!
Try this randomly on people you encounter. They will either look at you like you're insane, or greet you back with the same. It's a 50/50 chance.

4.) Self Talk
I don't mean rambling out loud to yourself like a mad Man/Woman/Lady Gaga (Gaga is in a Category of her own). I mean, talk it over in your head. Remind yourself to take chances.

5.) Talk to Strangers!
You're an adult now, you don't have to listen to your parents nagging voice in your ear "Don't talk to strangers". Strike up a random conversation every now and again. If the conversation completely flops, you will not likely see them again in your travels. Unless you meet at the same spot, everyday, at the same time...than you're screwed. Choose your strangers wisely.

6.) Be Polite!
ALWAYS hold the doors for people! This is not only polite, but it also makes you approachable.

7.) Smile Damn You!
I used to Loathe smiling for no reason. I always worried that it looked forced and fake. Now, I could care less. I smile just to see if I get a smile in return :)

8.) Breathe!
When you start to feel yourself getting nervous, take a moment and breathe! Your brain will be grateful for the Oxygen.

9.) Don't be over the top
Don't do more than you can handle. Telling jokes to random strangers may scare some of them off. Actually, it would be kind of funny. Give me a call if you do this ;)

10.) Be Brave!
You're the Man/Woman/Lady Gaga and You Kick Ass! It's all mind over matter Baby!

So, these are my tips to overcome shyness. It's not a guaranteed formula but it works for me. Feel free to let me know if you give it a try, I love to have feedback on my Ramblings.

Good Luck,

And may the Force be with You!

Cheers,

No Longer a Blogging Virgin!

Hello All!

My Name is Siggy and I'm Pleased to Meet You!

Welcome to the Ramblings of a Crazy Woman! And by crazy, I mean different! This is my first attempt at blogging, so be sure to disregard any errors as I'm sure there will be many ;)

Now that the informal, formalities are complete....let's begin with the Ramblings! Whoot!

I will start by saying, I'm really not that crazy! I'm just a bit different. I like to see things from different perspectives. You will likely not always agree with my ideas, but that's what makes reading my blogs so interesting.

For Instance, I believe that Dreams have very powerful properties! I dream every night and can recall much of the content. I understand the scientific nature of dreams, and take that into consideration. I especially enjoy Freud's dream interpretation and Theory of the Unconscience forming "Wish Fulfillment" as we dream. This theory makes sense to me, because I believe that we repress so much emotion during our waking hours, that it's only natural for the information to seep out during sleep. So much is unknown about the "Dream World" and this is where different comes into play.

 I see symbolic meaning in every aspect of life. It can be seen in Nature (trees, plants, etc), Animals, Our Ancestors and Ourselves. It's in the way we act and react, our primal instincts when forced into dangerous situations and by the vivid dreams we conjur up as we sleep peacefully through the night. Dreams are not something that we can control, right? Or can we? I've become very good at Lucid Dreaming, It's a whole new experience and worth a try if you're up to the challenge. http://www.wikihow.com/Lucid-Dream I also find that reminding yourself before sleep, that "I'ts only a Dream", sends a message to the subconscience that can be recalled during sleep.

Recently, I've embarked on Spirit Journeys during sleep. I know, I know.... WTF? Right? Well, just remember that we all have different backgrounds and I'm starting to scrape the surface of my own (Woodland Cree Indian).

I believe that dreams send us messages, we just have to listen. A more recent one for myself, is to let go of anger and resentment. Now perhaps this is not a Spiritual message. Perhaps, others will see it as the voice of God intervening and reminding me to be forgiving. Or, perhaps it's just my own supressed guilt for resenting people of my past. Whatever it is, it's something, and I'm now starting to listen.

So there you have it. Just a tiny peak into the craziness that is my brain. I hope I haven't scared you off yet, as I'm sure that I will do that at some point if you continue to read my blogs :D

Cheers!
