Today in Greyskull

Today I assembled my Castle Greyskull. (Sometimes it is spelled with an "a", but I think the "e" looks better.) This is the castle from the 2004 Cartoon Network revamp that I LOVE!

I originally received Castle Greyskull as a child and lost it somewhere along the way. But when I was 21 or 22, I asked Mom and Dad and Santa for the new version. I was so excited to open it on Christmas morning.

As I was sorting the pieces and being rather O.C.D. about it as one should be when putting together a TREASURE, my Dad wandered into the room and asked, "Son, do you need any help with that?"

I laughed and told him I was an adult now and did not need the help, but thanked him.

Today as I revisited my magical toy, I could not help but wish I had let him sit down and help me with that. Oh, the ifs, they can get you if you allow it.

So...

By the power of Greyskull, I have the POWER!

Paragraph and thought change: "Glee" is astounding and I cannot wait to see it, my new favourite and those are always fun to explore. :-)

I stumbled upon this quote whilst researching Sandi Patty (Me? Never.) and it stirred me. I thought I would share it with you. I adore quotes that make you feel like someone put to paper/screen what your heart needs.

"Yesterday came and went. Like a vapor, it disappeared. But you left something behind yesterday. A piece of yourself, a piece of the legacy you're building. Today, you'll create another piece of it. And tomorrow. And all the tomorrows after that."

I do not know what my legacy shall be, but I am once more enjoying the journey. May the piece of yourself you bestow to the world be one of joy, of peace, of love, of open-mindedness, of glee (had to), and of green potentially frightening castles.

We all "have the POWER" to leave a legacy that can change all who encounter it, if we choose to believe in ourselves.

Much, much hope,
Dustin

The Leprechaun Loving Lush

Tonight I got snockered with some bombastic leprechauns, dabbled in the cuisine of Acadia, conversed with some drunk oddities, called and text people in quite a state of lowered inhibitions/let's talk about life and giggle, and discussed trivial matters (Is "Sweeney Todd" actually a good film, why do I like "Twilight", etc.) as if life depended on how I articulated my stance in these matters. What an odd, fun, new, out-of-the-comfort zone night for me. Gloriously uncomfortable and disgusting decadent. YAY. Every day I seem to be doing something I have never done before: from the tiny to the grand. It is an experiment and I am loving and loathing it, and all the intoxicating in-betweens. (Yes, not-so-clever pun intended.) I hope that everyone had a wonderful St. Patty's day! (oh my, that is like Sandi Patty, but not at all...) Love, The DABalicious Leprechaun Loving Lush

And With This, Farewell

This blog has been a dear friend to me. I am not good at farewells, but truly this is anything but. I look at it like this - I love the phoenix, the symbolism of it all, the power of rebirth. Hence why I named my blog/musing screen after one. :-) So, I am leaving this particular blog to start another one, one that fits me NOW, the one that I can share in a new way. So this feels right. Thanks to those who have read my musings throughout the years. I hope you follow me to my new musing home entitled THE TWELVE THAT IS DUSTIN BAYLAN. Yes, I am changing the name, the story of that is on the new blog for you to read. Here is the link: http://dustinbaylan.wordpress.com/ Much love, much hope and joy again, much potential... Winks and smiles of the Cat that is Cheshire, Dustin Baylan

Much Needed Silence

The past few days I have liked the darkness, the silence of my room. I have not come out much and have watched "Sleepless in Seattle" over and over and over and over. I started wondering why I want to be alone (I am not depressed at all) and started doing the roommate math. I have lived with 41 different people in my life. I have lived in 21 different living environments not including all the different times I moved around with my family as a kid. I have hit a wall where I just want ME time and a lot of it, no talking, no sharing, just alone time. In this much needed silence I find that I am a much simpler person than I once was, that I really love the quiet, and that it is time to live alone soon. I have done the roomie thing more than anyone I know and met some wonderful people, but I am overloaded with that experience. So, back to "Sleepless in Seattle" and my much needed silence. Dustin
