Glitter, Anuses, TMI, Versatile, Ninjas, Phenomenas, And Angelina Jolie’s Leg! AKA The Epic Awards

I hope you have on your best tux and formal dress.

No?

Okay, I’ll settle for a clean pair of underroos straight of the drawer and something covering your nipples.

Ready. Let’s do this!

Hi! I'm Angelina Jolie's leg here to present three awards to TheFutureOfHope. Why? Because She's a Ninja. (Click Pic to see more of Angie's Leg!)

The Grammy, Oscar, Tony, and Emmy’s of The Bloggasphere

Welcome to the Red Carpet event of the century! I am going to be blasphemous and say something you all will crucify me for later!

Ready.

Set.

Blogging awards aren’t so much about merit as they are about community.

WHEW. Okay, here’s some nails and a hammer. But while you’re busy with that I am going to yammer on! You should try and pay attention! Trust me I’m a Doctor!

We only follow people that interest us. We only read the posts that interest us. So, we have pre-selected the cream of our crop. When a blogging award comes up, yes we hand them out to blogger’s who deserve it (Again, they wouldn’t be followed by us if they weren’t great-DUH). However then it comes down finding someone who A: Doesn’t already have the award and B: Someone who will accept it graciously and pass it on! That covers why this isn’t about merit. Now onto the community part. 

The I Now Want Alphabet Soup Award

This is crazy! You bishes been dishing out awards like there is a red carpet with every click on a blog. Which is kind of exciting… So instead of watching all these shmancy acting awards, keep your hawk-eye on the blogs! I have now received my second award. The Awesome Blog Content Award given to me by Lizzie (she runs naked with scissors!)! Let’s skip my Freak Out Ritual and jump on in this ish!

EEGADS! Stage Fright, Rules, Lists, And Awards

Stage Fright

Being the surprise recipient of an award is like stumbling drunk and laughing so hard that you pee your pants… SAY WHAT?! For serious, when I get the news or hear my name called a sudden whirlwind, blinding dizziness engulfs my mind, emotions, and body. I am always surprised. Not like the surprises you practice in the mirror where you try your best not to have porno mouth, but seriously surprised. The blow of dizziness and denial cause my emotional and logical well-being to check out faster than a serial play boy. UMM Yeah I have to wash my hair… With my special shampoo… So, I don’t know what to feel or how to act. I start giggling awkwardly and uncontrollably. Oh yes, I am THAT person. So I stumble up to the podium in fear, giggling in my much madness, and accept the award… But now they want me to have a list and speech… BOOM! Turn on the water works. We aren’t talking tears people. Okay, Okay. I have never peed my pants while winning an award but all the feelings of relief, warmth, and hysterical embarrassment are there. And that damned giggling…

Anyway, My lovely friend Teri Jensen @ The Narcissists Blog has given me an award. Out. Of. No. Where.

Yes, I am Giggling Profusely

I have no idea WHAT to think of this but TJ has said some very flattering and amazing things to me and has been very supportive! A thank you wouldn’t cover the blessing that is to me!

Taking My Stand- Till Next Time…

Hi Friends from Far and Near!

I am here to inform you I am taking a stand and blacking out my blog in protest to PIPA and SOPA. If you want to know more about these bills, one in the House and one in the Senate here in the USA, then please research it and make your own opinion. So, I will see you when I come back from the blackout.

 

Much Love!

 

Chrystalyn

How Classic Literature, Martin Luther King Jr, and You Can Change the World

When I need to have comfort, I ask others directly to “tell me something sweet.” Recently I asked this of my husband and the comparison of classic literature came to be. How my writing reminds him more of the classics and less of pop-culture. How because of me; he has read more things like The Time Machine, the works of Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stroker’s Dracula, Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Catcher and the Rye, and more.  Perhaps this is because of my own love of the classics. No matter the genre or story, most of them were taking a stand. They expose universal truths and the raw, realness of the taboo. The classics paint pictures and take you on travels and adventures you’d never see in a theater. They make your feelings acute and at times face your own demons and opinions.

I find many authors to be my role models. No, not athletes, models, actresses, or musicians. Most people, though they work very hard, they are not putting themselves, their beliefs, their experiences on paper for another person to learn from. Yes, artists of all forms suffer for their art… but how many of them truly leave you thinking and questioning the world in which we live and the actions you put forth…  As a lover of books, authors, and quotes; a few of my favorites are Khalil Gabran, Dante Aligheri, William Shakespeare, JR Tolkien, Sarah Williams, and Martin Luther King Jr. 

The Demons Of Life

I haven’t written lately. Not that I haven’t wanted to write, but my mind has been in a very strange place unvisited for many years. It is dark, realistic, negative, chaotic, and at times downright terrifying. Quite frankly it leaves me in a state of numb melancholia when my thoughts and heart meet in this place. Yes, some of my best writing of my early years were from this place. It is and always will be part of me but it can be very hard to leave and come to balance. I have so many wonderful blessings in my life. I had to find my way back to balance for my husband, my children… my sanity.

The Letter of The Rapture…

God sent an Angel to Oklahoma to give us this gift. Now I am not a prophet nor do I speak ethereal, divine languages… BUT I assume this letter is the one the followers of the May 21, 2011 Rapture will receive…

Do NOT Make Me Put You, Mr.USofA, In The Corner AGAIN!!!

The word of our nation tonight and what will be the next few days is that Osama Bin Laden is dead. There are parties going on everywhere, even outside our White House. This is history. This is a step in the right direction .Relief is an understatement. Celebration rightly warranted. However, Momma needs to remind this country to learn the humbling lesson.

Media has spread the news all over the world. Social media feeds have been booming. Many are just praising Bin Laden’s death and the USA’s hand in it. There are many who have also said things along the lines of; we should thank Former President “W” Bush not Obama because Bush was for and Obama is against the war. Oh and let’s not forget all the posts about how Obama is taking all the credit and that he actually said: “one nation under God.”  OMG. So many arguments of religion, credit, who won this war… Momma is here to say this is the beginning, not the end. Now, children, put down your pride and listen a moment.

Oh Come On, It’s The Rage! Sheeple Unite!!

So last night on the ten o’clock news there is a breaking news story. ”TPD investigating captain’s reassignment after he reportedly refused higher ranking officers orders to instruct his officers to attend ‘Officer Appreciation Day’ organized by Islāmic Society of Tulsa.”  (News on 6 , Tulsa World, Fox 23)

Liberty for ALL??

We are all immigrants in bloodline. There are few who are truly native to America in the sense that their bloodline wholely dates back to the first people who roamed these lands. Would our ancestors who fought hard to enter a land of freedom be proud of the American Evolution? Let’s look at a few hot topics.

Commandment Against Facebook?

 

In response to:

Thou Shall Not Facebook

God calls religious leaders to guide and nurture our spirits toward good decisions, learning to forgive and love without condemnation, and even to rise above human nature to promote as more spiritual essence. Commandments, rules, guidelines, laws, disciplines, etc are in place for people to understand a truth of what is WRONG and what our goal is in RIGHT. So when the complexities of life enter a gray-scale, we can face temptation, confusion, and fear and can make a decision. Therefore when a religious leader tells his followers especially married couples, THEY WILL NOT FACEBOOK (paraphrase), it makes me question what they are teaching their congregation and how many of them will continue to feed the fuel of regression. We live in a crazy, busy world. Our facts, truths, religions, politics, self-worth, even definitions of commitment are all skewed and IMPERFECT.  Commitment temptations are everywhere from Facebook, the grocery store, to lyrics in top 40′s songs. Our society sells sex all over magazines, television, music, business, and even in everyday life. Not being members of Facebook is going to stop or even prevent commitment problems? In my mind the number truly effected is LOW. Successful commitments depend on the person’s mentality of the concept of commitment (marriage or other), the ability to communicate even in difficult circumstances, the importance of honesty even when it hurts, the humility to accept that we are not perfect and NEED help, and being able to separate the difference between contentment and fleeting happiness.
