RE: Latest Halloween balloon models....
It is always so much fun to read your posts! Your cheeky skeleton looks awfully comfy (he may need a hat though) and the tongue on the witch cracked me up! Thank you for the laughs, @gwb235! Glad to see you're doing well!
Hello there, @brisby. Thank you and I'm glad you enjoy them. I enjoy your posts as well, especially the cat ones, but definitely not to dismiss the personal account and circumstance post that is very touching. We live in strange times, or at least you can draw strange perceptions from it, wherein you are advised, when dealing with other 'yous', to get things in writing and yet are also strongly advised to sign nothing. I know this does not relate to the content of your post, but just an observation, inspired by the title.
The skeleton was a dude and I did consider a hat, but made a commercial skeleton head now (third attempt) which I feel is better. Simpler, but tidier and can have whatever eyes people want. That tongue! It's actually strange to handle and kind of solid, by comparison. I think that I should do a video of the making of a tomgue, just to show people how odd it is to create and to visually explain how the inside balloon is outside out, but the outside balloon is inside out.
Thank you, for the comment and it's really nice to hear from you again :).
Thank you @gwb235! I'm touched that you enjoy my writing! And yes, times are strange. Your observation is a good one (maybe you'll make it a post?). I'm certain that it would be a good read.
It would be wonderful to watch a video of you crafting your balloon creations! And as for hearing from you, likewise! 😊
Hi @brisby :). Times are strange, but I feel that people may be stranger - much stranger. I feel like a conduit at times, but basically, there is so much information travelling through us all, all of the time, that if we absorb ourselves in it, we will get lost. From around 2,000 I started researching everything. I loved it. It fitted my eclectic personality. From 2010 I started sharing the information that I had gathered, but it was not received well at that time.
I ended up stepping back massively from it all, as it was sending me mad. Not in itself, but with the contrast that was presented to me when trying to live in the everyday world. Nobody was on the same page, it seemed. I joined the Freedom Rebels Network and we hed regular public lectures in local pubs and the likes. It culminated with the day that we went to Birkenhead Magistrates' Court on the 8th March, 2011.
Around three hundred Sovereigns (us) turned up with black umbrellas (completely random) and seized the magistrates' court, as soon as the judge claimed jurasdiction and we arrested the judge. He later escaped, in all of the confusion, but we did this to try to explain to people that the legal system is robbing you and you should be using the law to defend yourself. The goal posts have been moved that often, they are now corner flags.
Anyway, I apologise for the discourse, but of recent I have been typing out posts and comments and either saving them or deleting them, but not posting them. Anyway (again), back to your comment :). Yes, a video of balloon modelling would be mad but fun, although I don't think the present video camera is up to it, but I am intending to buy a new video camera, so will be able to do more then.
Hmmmm. I know that this might look like a strange reply, but it is just me talking from this perspective, here and now. Well, it's my head, which isn't me, but it wanted to drive and if I don't let it, it makes life hell for me :).
Thanks for the reply and the kind words. Keep writing, or else people can't keep reading :).
Learning as much as possible is a very admirable pursuit. Just never lose the knowledge of who is important and what makes you happy.
Please feel free to launch an extensive discourse with me anytime. I will make a point to get back to you (although it may be days later).
When I see a comment or reply from you, my first reaction is a smile. It's more than a halfer, but less than a beam. There's a happy chuckle of breath in there as well. That is the response that YOU'VE created in a total stranger. I just wanted to let you know the positive power you wield.
As for the contrast, it can get to you. I'm a bit more fly solo or operate in a small group of 5 or less sort of person, so watching a group like what was in a video I watched from the 2011 incident (since I had no prior information regarding the Freedom Rebels Network) was interesting.
I belive in speaking from your head (it controls the mouth and the feet so it has all the power).
Keep smiling and writing as well!
Thank you for that reply, brisby. I may well launch a discourse or three at you, considering that you have opened that door ha, ha, ha, but seriously, it's nice to be able to express myself and my last comment was a lot about how I was feeling at the time of posting. I guess it's nice not to feel inhibited. Of course, I reciprocate the same and if you ever want a ramble, please feel free and I will join in :).
I am always pleased to see your replies, too. They always make me feel better, if I'm in a good mood or not. It's also nice to know I make you smile. Unless you're an evil overlord, that's a good thing. I'm certain that you're not an evil overlord, though, so yes, a good thing.
I am very much a solo person. The video was the only time I have ever protested, because we all felt it would be life changing news for a lot of people to be able to use the law against the legal system and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, but my heart still feels the same and everything seems to fit into it, somehow. Difficult to explain, but I guess I am in the right place to try to :).
There are a lot of video clips for the court case, as a lot of people filmed it. The Freedom Rebels Network has a good library for legal documents and a lot of informaive lawful stuff, but it is a game. The legal system, to them that play it, is a game. It can send you mad, trying to get justice or a straight answer to a common-sense yes/no question.
This is why I feel that Steeit, to some degree, has a chance to change things for the better, on many levels, but as a brilliant introduction into crytocurrencies and a way for creative or just decent folk to grow together, even if there are pockets of negativity or flaws with the way it operates.
The head I use to process stuff, but it isn't very bright. A great processor and at times, it surprises me, but I trust my heart's decisions much more :). Feet are a good thing to have control of though, ha, ha, ha, and the mouth can really get you into trouble if it isn't controlled, so I do see your point. I may reconsider, but to be honest, that's doubtful :D.
Thanks, @brisby, for your comment and I hope to read more in the future, of course. I will keep smiling and can feel a 'something' coming on, but been over a week now, since I last posted, so I need to post before it gets too long a time. Still been upvoting and commenting and made a couple of balloon things, but I forgot to tae pictures of the skeleton I made today for somebody. A different looking fella, but made a couple of other things that didn't turn out well, so was going to do a 'failures' post, but decided against it.
Take care and have fun, but I don't feel you need much instruction there :).
Thank you! 💚
I hear you on not wanting to go too long without posting.
Recently, I've been doing these daily 5-minute freewriting (#freewrite) exercises put on by @mariannewest and @improv that I think you'd have fun with. (Honestly, I just want to see what fun you come up with...). If you're feeling in a playful mood, check it out.
Thank you, too :).
I did read one of your entries and I hope for my sake that I upvoted it, but I did mean to, so am sure I did. I just remember a woman swimming through the pages. Was really good. I guess I should have commented on it, but I will next time. I upvote quite a few things that I don't comment on, but sometimes I cannot add to the already made comments and sometimes can't find the correct words.
I might have a look at these as it might be a good way to keep in touch with Steemit and I'm sure it will inspire me to write more posts. Thank you for sharing that and I'll definitely have a look at them and see what my self-employed mind comes up with.
If you've been posting these daily, I have a few to read :).
Arigato gwb235! It gives me a warmth to know that you liked Anchor. It was more personal than I intended to post, but I promised myself that I'd try something different when I signed up for Steemit. (This last month I've done more social media posts than I have since high school AOL chat rooms.) My Pinterest account doesn't factor in since I don't have to communicate directly with people.
As I've experienced so far, the freewrite group is genuinely kind and thoughtful.
Yes, I have found myself sometimes not leaving comments for the exact reasons you stated. I suppose that gives more proof to the presence of similar minds.
😊
Hi @brisby,
My massive apologies for the late reply, but I have found it increasingly difficult to type and impossible to post. It's a long story and therein lies the issues, but I am going to try to post today or tonight, but I wanted to respond to your comment and just say hello. So that you have some incline as to what has been wrong, it's what I have been calling 'Lifled' - Stifled by life. My creative flow was completely killed. Every attempt to type out a post failed. I am hoping to put all of it into a post, but it's an increasingly difficult task. I feel guilty that I have not been posting regularly, and that doesn't help, but, to put things into a box, so to speak, I am hoping that 2018 will be my year of getting justice, from many sources of injustice that have been haunting me for some time, or have been recent head-mashers.
I'm just deliberating whether I should delete this reply or not, as it's a little too negative?? I feel that my Steemit account is dying, as I watch myself do nothing about it.
Hello again, the above was typed a couple of days ago and I have just done a post to break the bad run, so am feeling better about posting. I do apologise for the late reply and I'll have to do some catching up, but I do feel bad for not contributing to Steemit for so long.
I hope you're all well and good, and it feels good to say hello again :).
Sorry gwb235, I'm going to respond to you better later on. I had something that I promised to do. I will probably be spending the rest of the night on this project. I did want to at least let you know for now that you don't need to apologize and you don't have to worry about deleting a response to me. if you will trust me to tell you if Something you say bothers me or hurts me you may feel free to say anything you wish. I promise not to freak out if I disagree with something you say. I'll just tell you and then we can talk about it or agree to let it drop or make a different choice at that time. So if you wish, when You Wish, "Brother" brisby is here.
Ha, ha, ha, brother brisby :). It wasn't that my posts might upset you, but I felt they were unloading on you, emotionally and felt you might feel I was assuming that I felt there was more of a connection between us than there was, but it's not easy to type such things as they are just words, without the nuances required for a genuine understanding of the context. Maybe this explanation might hep to explain why I have deleted or saved previous ones, to review, but may never get around to that.
Words don't always work very well, but it's fair to say that a bad tradesman always blames their tools. I just didn't want to type anything that could make you feel uncomfortable. I feel that you will understand this.
Anyway, I would be on extremely thin ice, should I be demanding in any way for a response from anybody, so of course, it's nice to get a reply, but never a need for urgency on Steemit (unless you leave it for weeks and then a monster will appear....).
Thanks for the comment and the punchline was perfect :D. I hope that you're having nice days and evenings.
You've seen my picture. I have broad shoulders and what looks to be six fingers on one hand, if you feel like you want to unload something I can probably hold its weight. I'm an excellent pack mule, and I've helped many people move. I shine brightest when I move a couch. :)
Right from when I've joined you and I struck up chatting in our comments to each other as if we were two friends in a bar. I say as if because I have never gone to a bar to drink so I'm going off of what I've seen in TV and movies here. I like that rapport between us and I hope that it doesn't change.
Thanks for laughing at my joke and I hope that you have a great night as well!
Ha, ha, ha. I thought your post was going to start, "You've seen my picture. I have broad shoulders and what looks to be six fingers on one hand, if you feel like you want to go a couple of rounds, bring it on!" Ha, ha, ha.
Thanks Brisby and I agree that we have chatted like friends from the go. I'm surprised that you've never been to a bar for a drink, but it's something that I refrain from now, and not because I am a recovering alcoholic, or anything like that, but because it's a bit poo, to be honest.
People talking shite and to someone that's drunk, the whole world is deaf. I don't mind people having a good time, though. Quite the opposite. Do you drink at home? Some people enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. I'm almost strictly a tea man, myself.
I'm sure our rapport can only grow. It's always nice to see you've commented. I have been busy with house and learning Spanish, but I will be settling down to read your posts some night very soon :).
Have fun and keep posting :).
Hahaha! I'm game for a friendly throw down if you are just to warn you though, brisby's are scrappers. 😎
I'll have a glass of wine occassionally, and sometimes a Crabbie's Ginger Beer. I love drinking tea, especially on a windy day with the curtains blowing.
Are you moving? Congratulations on learning a new language. ¡Bueno suerte! I look forward to reading more posts from you.
