I Will Always #Blog Love You

https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/

If I should stay
I hope I won’t
be in your way
So I might stay or
I might go,
but I know
I’ll think of you
every step
of the way
And I will always love you
I will always blog love youhttps://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/

Mostly sweet memories
Is all I’d take with me
No more goodbyes
No outcries
We both know you
have all you need
And I will always love you
I will always blog love youhttps://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all
you’ve dreamed of
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/

And I will always love you…
even if you don’t agree with my beliefs, we don’t have to believe the same things to be friends, to find common ground, to wish each other well, and to support each other, because as humans, we’re all in this together.

https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/I will always love you…even if you don’t agree with my politics. I’ll still say my piece, why is everyone arguing? We don’t need to agree on everything, we just need to believe simple things,

  • May the 4th Be With You https://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/05/04/may-the-4th-be-with-you/ https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/and watch out for Revenge of the 5thhttps://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • Lying is still lying, truth is still truth, spinning just makes your head spin…do we sometimes listen to lies because it’s easier, what those lies offer is easier? The truth is hard, we think we can’t handle the truth.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • We all want someone to look at us the way some of us look at: cake, steak, cookies, wine, bacon, beer, coffee, pizza, or anything that has the word, chocolate in it – how do you know if chocolate really loves you, when it’s an all-consuming love.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • Even if you have to sing the alphabet song in your head when doing things, you’re still adulting just with help from your inner child.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • Slavery was not a choice, Kanye West (being ignorant is a choice, clearly).https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • We wish everything was as easy as getting fat (it isn’t).https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • When you’re screwing something (mind out of the gutter, I’m talking IKEA and handyperson type things), it’s easier (at least for me), lefty loosey, tighty righty.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • You only die once, but you live every day, so enjoy https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/01/04/so-youve-ruined-your-lifenow-what/https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • Learning to love, and learning to love learning, those are the greatest loves of all.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • Our brains and hearts are like the TARDIS in Doctor Who, bigger on the inside.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • The Universe isn’t telling you anything, it has better things to do – and we rarely make the right choice when you’re already looking for someone to blame or praise for that choice.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • Technology is cool, it’s not people, TV, movies (yes, like “Marvel’s Avengers Infinity War”) are cool, they’re not real people…https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • We don’t always get what’s coming to us, good or bad, life is a mystery. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/05/25/crapathy/ https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • Who you love is your choice (as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone). Don’t forget to love your or another Mom this Mother’s Day. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2017/05/13/the-mother-of-all-blogs/https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • The world would be a better place if everyone felt safe – safe from rape, murder, torture, scams, lies, and they’d feel safe if everyone had affordable housing, enough to eat, an education, help when they need it – it’s not a Utopian dream, it’s more than possible, we just need to stop subsidizing the rich – funny how they say they believe in Capitalism and believe Socialism is ‘evil’ yet the rich always have their hands out for subsidies. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/08/16/everybody-wants-to-rule-the-world/https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/
  • What we think of as rights are actually leased privileges, they can be repossessed any time. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2016/09/16/you-had-me-at-cake/https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/And I could go on and on (but who would read it with WordPress and the lack of notification of posts, sigh, so bored), but what’s the point, change your expectations and be happy, life’s too short not to be.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/

Many books, songs, art, TV programs, and movies question whether we’re real, what is real. Hunger Games, “Real or not real?” and in Westworld, “What is real?”.

https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/The overly simple, but perfect answer was, “That which is irreplaceable.”. Good people are irreplaceable. Good times are irreplaceable. Literature, music, art, TV/Movies – those that change you, move you, touch you, elevate you from surviving to thriving is irreplaceable, but generally, stuff is replaceable, or unnecessary. Truth is irreplaceable.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/I will always love you…even if you don’t Like and share my posts (please Like and share my posts). https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/I will always love you…even if odds are you won’t always be on my side or ever by my side, we’re still together.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/I will always love you…even, to paraphrase Maya Angelou, I forget what you said, what you did, I’ll always remember how you made me feel. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/04/15/tra-la-la-tra-la-la-la/https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/I will always blog love you because I’ve learned so much from blogging, my readers, and fellow bloggers.

When this song was first written by Dolly Parton in 1973, yes, 45 years ago, it was a love song, not romantic, a goodbye song for Parton’s professional break-up with her mentor, producer, and longtime duet partner, Porter Wagoner. https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/It’s been sung by everyone, from Kenny Rogers (when he looked like Kenny Rogers, why do people do cosmetic surgery, https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/04/05/its-not-the-years-honey-its-the-mileage/  – own those wrinkles – they pay their rent in experiences, memories, days, weeks, months, years of being you https://yadadarcyyada.com/2015/10/03/sweet-dreams-are-made-of-this/), Linda Ronstadt, and little known singer in a little known movie, I think it called something like, “The Bodyguard”, with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner? (“Are you pondering what I’m pondering, Pinky? “Well, I think so, hiccup, but Kevin Costner with an English accent?” https://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/01/30/pinky-the-brain/). https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/I don’t think any really beat Dolly’s version, but the song is an earworm, which, like blogging, once in your head, rarely leaves.https://yadadarcyyada.com/2018/05/04/i-will-always-blog-love-you/

Come To The Dark Side, We Have Cookies

14th4“They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally they became heroes.”
Princess Leia Organa of Aldaraan, Senator

This is one of my favourite quotes from Star Wars, though it was never used in the movies. I don’t know how many times in my life I’ve been in the wrong place at the wrong time, or if one believes in fate, perhaps I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
Each day is filled with choices, decisions, some huge, life-changing and others little, although who knows, they might be life changing as well.

Today is May the 4th, some may know it as Intergalactic Star Wars Day. For some, that’s everyday.
Nerds greet each other with, May the 4th Be With You. Posts, memes, parties, hash tags, sales, and news stories converge, in greater numbers.
Although this May 4th, the news is more about Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana than Princess Leia.14th21
Tomorrow, to a lesser degree with Revenge of the Fifth, although I think Revenge of the Sixth makes more sense. Is that a thing?

14th22

An old nemesis has descended upon me this May the 4th – my Darth Vader, my Boba Fett, Jabba the Hut (probably rather have Pizza the Hut), Rancor (although it smells better), Greedo, or Count Dooku –  I’ve loosely titled it, Stars Wars VIII: Return of the Back Pain. Luckily it doesn’t hurt as much when I sit…and if I go over to The Dark Side, I hear they have cookies.
I think I know what brought it on, an unusual activity (not nearly as exciting as it sounds).

It also brings back horrible memories of the car accident where the pain originated and I’m left to watch my back, like the aptly titled book, Watch Your Back! by Richard A. Deyo MD (Cornell University Press). I read this last time my back pain flared, hoping for some answers. It left me with more questions as it’s straightforward information shone a light on The Dark Side of the medical profession which offers people less and less, for more and more.

We don’t like to think that our pain is a business, but it’s big business.
This book won’t be popular, it points out that the medical profession, like politics and other systems, to paraphrase George Lucas, is like a great tree, able to withstand any external force, but rots from within. The lure of money, power, and prestige can overcome common sense and decency.
I understand the temptation of the magic fix, but realistically I know I have to do most of the figurative heavy lifting.
As patients we should be pushing for more treatments that are sensible, empowering, and give effective, long-term results for moderate costs.14th20

I’m used to being in constant pain with Fibromyalgia, it waxes and wanes, but never actually ceases, but in a strange way pain can also be freeing. You see past the Jedi mind tricks or I guess more like Sith mind tricks…you see the truth.1starwars15

What about you, dear readers, do you ever see The Dark Side of people when they think they can’t get anything from you?

Do you also see the power of The Force of goodness when some people like you just the way you are?
The latter is what I choose to believe in.

May the Fourth be with you.
