I’m Off to Work, Lover Bear

While you lay there asleep, I have to work… for 3 and a half hours. And then I shall be doing some darn difficult shopping… so yes, today’s tough.

When you’re working with the kiddies today just remember how hard it is for me.

I’ve Destroyed Loving Jacqui!!

That’s right – it has a new look and I can’t stand it.

It’s all pink now, but fortunately, you don’t have to see it that way.

While I was playing around with enhancing accessability by giving an option* to easily change the text size so that Jacqui can read this site when she gets old (and people of diminished eyesite can read it now!), that gave me an idea. If there’s one thing I can’t resist, it’s an intriguing idea. Jacqui’s favourite colour is pink. I have no idea why. I like blue.

Now moving on, I thought why not use the same technique to change text size to change colour.

And here we are, voilà.

You’re the Greatest

Happy 26th Birthday, Jacqui Bear!
You know, as I was thinking about you, it suddenly dawned on me… you really are the greatest woman I have ever known.

I’ve known and still do know some fantastic women, some of whom were lovers or even loves… all of whom I wish well, however it ended… yet, you turn the residual sadness at a relationship, which might have been, “should have” been, and didn’t work out, and turn it into immense and fierce joy that it worked out the exact way it did so that I know you now.

As you understand, I do not put much stock in “luck”. I laugh at the concept. Sure, there is random chance, which affects us all.

Yet 99% of what people call luck is the logical consequence of people’s thoughts, attitudes, and above all, actions in both the past and in the present moment.

So I have created some “bad luck” in my life at different times, sometimes lots of it coming from the left and the right like a deer must feel on a long weekend holiday afternoon crossing the highway as a Mack truck is bearing down on it. But one thing, which I finally poured massive thought and energy into was finding you.

I didn’t know where you lived, how old you were, what colour, whether you were healthy or sick, or XXXX… but I knew that you had a beautiful loving heart, a sexy attitude, that you loved to play and laugh and have fun, that you adored children, that you could be strong during hard times, and had a desire to choose good over evil.

I knew this for sure, but that you would love me so much and make me feel so amazing despite my (3) faults (kidding) was surprising.
