Pandora's Casket

I did not know that Hitler and Michael Jackson were that close. This youtube video was sent to me by BB and I thought that it was so funny that I had to embed and share it.

Sometimes people just need to take a break away from the path that they are walking upon to take a look at where they are going and where they are at the particular moment. It is not like while you are on this break your deities will turn their backs on you. Sometimes it is they that are pushing you for the break.

There are times when each of us has entered the dark night of the soul, not knowing where or for some who they truly are. Loosing faith, wondering if in fact treading the path once happily on now is the right one. Feeling that overwhelm and captivate us to a point of anger, loathing, and other very dark, deep emotions. Most often these are the times that other events are cropping up as well. Maybe a loss of job, friend or illness has occurred leading those to wonder where the deity is as they are not listening and helping. Thinking if they are not listening and helping why bother? With the anger already being felt more anger is layered.

What each individual does during these times is usually a lot of soul searching. Yes, there are rituals that may be done to help with this but the one that is common is not something that everyone that is going through this should do as it might make things worse for their mental health. Those that are mentally strong enough and ready for should do this working as it is intense and well worth it.

With the economic slump that we are in I have discussed this with many of my students as there seems to be a larger amount of those having doubts due to asking if the deity were there wouldn't they help? Telling those what they do not wish to hear, they are helping you by not helping. Your destiny is yours not theirs. It is you and you alone that must make the personal decision to get up and strive for personal best even during trying times. They are there even during the dark soul travels hoping beyond hope that the path you take leads back into their warm embrace.

So, while at first you might feel uncomfortable at taking your break, relax and enjoy being a mundane for awhile. Do the things that you need to do. Maybe learn something new or start a new hobby such as to learn to play piano. Who knows being a mundane might just be who you really are!

Rene and I were talking the other day about where we would want to go if we were to take a quickie vacation. My ideal vacation right now would be to go to Southern Cali. I would love to go lay on the beach in Malibu or even Ventura. Love those two places. Of course Rene being the scandalous guy he is stated that he would like to take one of the Vegas vacations that he has been looking into.

Those that know and love our master of evil know why he would go there. Girls! Girls! Girls! And well maybe some food on the side!

Just to be laying on the beach sounds so relaxing and peaceful right about now. I guess right now I will settle for a mental holiday instead.

Next week is one of those weeks where we have two birthdays within a day of each other. Jamie and BB's birthdays are so close that we usually just pool them together and have one event.

This year, as was last, I am making the cake. Of course my lovely daughter has put in a request for a 'fancy cake' like I used to make. What is she thinking? Making matters worse I actually agreed. I must have been dazed and confused by her request. haha But I will do it. What it will be I have no idea yet. A mess comes to mind.

It would be so easy to just buy her heart pendant jewelry and call it a day. Maybe save that for Shay. haha

Jamie and BB are planning on going to see HP which they have been planning for months. I guess on the day they go I will work on the cake. Can not wait.
