Shakespeare for Idiots, or non-readers
Romeo & Juliet- The modern version by William Mapshake
At a nightclub in 1976 Romeo was doing his best to impress a bird he fancied called Julie, His dancing skills worked and they fell in love.
The next day they walked hand in hand to a chemist for an after the act contraceptive pill but found out they had not been invented yet.
Over a Costa coffee they decided that although their parents hated each other due to Juliet’s dad selling a shite car to Romeo’s dad they would get have to get married in secret.
They flew over to Vegas and at the Elvis Presley One Dollar Church they got married, gambled a bit and watched a Tom Jones show before returning to England.
Juliet’s high school sweetheart named Paris had meanwhile appeared on the scene after a lengthy prison sentence for theft of kitchen and kitchen related storage items and wanted “His bird”.
He knew how to appeal to Juliet’s Mom and bribed her with a huge amount of Tupperware so he could marry Juliet and in time take over the used car business; Juliet was a bit angry but had to agree as she knew her mom had already used the salad spinner and 3 freezer containers.
After a few Gin and Tonics Juliet decided to fake her own death as she couldn’t be arsed marrying Paris, Her dealer pal gave her some sleeping pills and she took them and fell asleep.
She looked dead so was laid out for the family to look at, Poor Romeo saw her stiff lifeless body and promptly hanged himself with his new floral orange and brown bedspread.
When Julie awoke she heard that her secret love and hubby and kicked the bucket, she decided that she would also kill herself and did.
The moral of the story…Tupperware is rubbish and not worth dying for and condoms save lives.

Life Lessons from the Barn
In following my blog from yesterday, I figure life is like horse riding. That it can be a great ride if I want it to be.
That sometimes your ride it at a full out gallop, fearless.
And others, it's an enjoyable smooth canter and over way too quickly.
Sometimes it's a choppy trot, but worth the experience.
Others, it's a slow, peaceful walk.
Sometimes you voluntarily dismount.
Others, it bucks and rears and you experience an Involuntary Dismount.
I learned it's not how you get off or on that matters.
I learned it's whether you do or not.
I learned that those Involuntary Dismounts taught me the most.
I learned that it wasn't how I landed, or whether I was injured or if my pride was just hurt or bruised.
I learned it was whether and if, I got up and got on again, and how I acted about it that mattered.
I learned it was how I acted that made a difference in whether the ride was enjoyable and smooth, or whether it was rough.
I learned that it's up to me to change my actions, to change the reaction and/or consequences.
I learned that dirt wasn't one of the four food groups, but that whatever dirt I ate, that sometimes, it was just part of the ride.
I learned that whining about it and blaming my horse didn't win any sympathy, respect, or friends, nor did it change the results of my actions.
I learned that my horse's behavior and personality mirrored my own.
I learned that what goes in, comes out.
I learned that there's always sh*t to shovel, and that whatever you pick up, it's easier to just dump it and focus on something else.
I learned that flinging it only leaves a mess and the likelihood of wearing it.
I learned that just because I carried a whip, didn't mean I had to use it.
I learned that sometimes using a crop was necessary, but brutality never was.
I learned that most times, a crop isn't necessary, but listening to what your horse is trying to tell you, is.
I learned that my horse was always glad to see me as long as I had treats.
I learned to leave any bad mood at the barn door.
I learned that if I could completely control my horse as long as I could control myself.
I learned from watching others, that you can beat a horse into submission, but they'll never respect or trust you and you'll never get their best performance, and that you can never trust them.
I learned that no matter how much I learned, that my horse could teach me more.
I learned that even the worst ride is better than no ride at all.
I've learned that the smell of a sweaty horse after a glorious ride is sweeter than the most expensive perfume in Paris.
I learned that in life, just like in riding, you just have to cowboy up.
That sometimes your ride it at a full out gallop, fearless.
And others, it's an enjoyable smooth canter and over way too quickly.

GOALS
When 2018 started, I have vowed to pursue a less lazy life and try to be a more devoted woman who knows how to clean and cook. 
Ive mastered the cleaning part when I was 6 and a master of it now. The cooking part however proves to be way more challenging than brushing the edges of the bathroom floor. So Ive pushed myself harder and in less than 3 months, I learned not to burn my fried spring rolls and sunny side ups.
I have a feeling though that I have to learn how to cook vareity of dishes to be able to satisfy my future husband. Or else, he'll have to suit himself in takeouts everynight for 3 years before he divorces me.
Good day CS!

All Aboard!!! Tickets please!!
At birth we boarded the train of life and met our parents,
and we believe they will always travel on our side.
However, at some station
our parents will step down from the train,
leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by,
other people will board the train;
and they will be significant
i.e. our siblings, friends, children,
and even the love of your life.
Many will step down
and leave a permanent vacuum.
Others will go so unnoticed
that we don't realize
they vacated their seats.
This train ride will be full of joy,
sorrow, fantasy, expectations, ( mostly unrealistic)
hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.
Success of the ride consists of having a good relationship
with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is:
We do not know at which station
we ourselves will step down.
So, we must live in the best way,
to love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.
It is important to do
this because when the time comes for us to step down
and leave our seat empty
we should leave behind beautiful memories
for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
Unfortunately, carrying around the caboose of regrets, emotional baggage
and anger only just makes the journey that much more difficult
I wish you a joyful journey on the train of life.
Reap success and give lots of love.
More importantly, thank God for the journey.
Lastly, I thank whoever
for being one of the passengers on my train.
(By the way, I am not planning to get off the train anytime soon
but when and if I do, just remember I am glad for those of you who were part of my journey.)
It matters not how many passengers who board or disembark as much as the quality of passengers
who made a difference in our lives.

Belly freeze breakfast.
Resolving to start reversing the 15 pound weight loss of the past month I try new things for breakfast.
An 'Irish' woman had suggested mashing a banana and an egg together and either frying it as a pancake or microwaving it in a bowl. So I did that, but with two eggs. Very interesting, quite tasty. Surprized to see something so clever come out of Ireland (where Google swears she is).
That done, I was still hungry. So I decided to freeze my stomach.
Take a large 7-11 slurpee cup. Mix well two packs of Carnation Instant Breakfast Vanilla flavored and milk. Add a dash of heavy cream. Add 4 large scoops of Vanilla ice cream. Add more milk till full. Sip slowly in front of the morning telly. Ahhh, brain freeze of the belly. Good feeling.

i know myself.....
“You can’t understand others unless you understand yourself”.
Self-awareness and personal insight increases perception and sensitivity towards others. Start by accepting the fact that people are very complex and different. Knowing yourself first opens the door to understanding others and then walking through the door leads you down the path to being able to establish good and positive relationships with others.
Having an open mind makes oneself much better.Knowing oneself is not easy
but ......nothing is impossible,
one must put aside their ego. No matter how special, extraordinary, and unique they like to think they are,
Having an open mind makes everything much better. People find it easier to approach you and open up their feelings. It also makes relationships easier to handle....the way...
I See Myself As A Person....
I became aware of the many hard-to-swallow realities in the world, nevertheless discerning the right from the wrong. My principles are solid, and I rarely find myself following the tide, though not so much that I am alienated, but rather, playing on a different beat in the same harmony....
but nothing replenishes as well as an extended portion of solely personal time,self knowledge and open mind...put together is me....
Knowing what you need – and taking it – is THE.... key.
Self-realizations can shift the ground underneath us, but they can also open up whole new fields of vision in doing so.
It is not so difficult to see ourselves, our identity, through....
Self knowledge is essential in figuring out what’s optional and not optional to our individual well-being. There’s power – and sometimes conflict – in knowing yourself and letting that understanding help guide your life.
the short answer is that you cannot.....understand others unless you
understand yourself.
