whew! i'm a little dizzy! I just had a really quick trip to bizarro world! Been there before, but not in a really long time! So my Dad just called, and his brain never, ever shuts down. He literally calls me everytime he has an idea for me - which is actually really, really often! So - and i preface this with 'I know my Dad' - he gets on the phone and he says, "I have one word for you - GREEN." And I say, "I know Dad, money! I'm working on it...". Never at any time in the course of my life would I have thought he would be talking about anything different. He's very responsible, and fiscally conservative, and while he always has and always will support any dream I have, he'll always make sure I've got my feet planted firmly on the ground enough to know that I still need the "green" stuff to live on. And to save. So anyway - he says "green". I say "money". The he says, and he's chuckling, "No. I mean Green. You know, what Al Gore is doing." And I'm like, "Oh my God! Stop the world. Slow it down. I need to get off the ride for a minute. No, Dad. Just stop talking for a second and let me absorb this version of "Bizarro World. What just happened?? You said "green" in the lovely and liberal usage, and i said "money". ARGHHHHHHHH."
This is how my Dad works. He was wanting to keep talking and go on with his idea. He did not want me to interrupt him with this "silliness". It was kinda like if we were traveliing with him, and we wanted to stop to get a snack, or say, maybe pee? He would think that was interfering with the amount of time it was taking us to reach our destination, thinking we could wait til we get there. In essence, this is what just happened on the phone. He wanted to get his point out. I'll give him about 30 minutes to absorb my initial reaction to what was actually said, and he'll call back and agree with me that it was actually funny. However, he did have some good ideas for me, and gosh darn it all, I'm so proud of him. Fiscally conservative or not, I knew he was a liberal deep down. Deep, deep down...
My Dad rocks!!!!!

About Me
- Mikaleigh Feller
- Here's hoping having a blog will help lead me to the adventures that are out there awaiting me. I want to do something with my writing, my creativity, my skills. I just lost a job that I hated, and am so much better off for it!! It's the new me! Or rather, the OLD me! Yippee! I love the Arts, 1920's and 1930's Cinema, the Theatre, The BOB and SHERI SHOW (!), all animals, my friends, and my family. And music!! Good music, which of course is subjective, but that's another thought for another day. At the moment, I guess this is just about me, and where to go from here, and to see if constantly writing out my wandering thoughts will eventually lead to good! Can't hurt, right? I certainly was not doing myself or the Universe ANY good droning away at that "job"! Anyone willing to come along on this ride? I'll let you off if you change your mind. It is, in effect, the journey through My mind, and I am sure that's a scary place for others to be! It's like one of my favorite quotes - don't know whose, since i really saw it on a tee shirt, but it fits me to a, um, well... a TEE: "I live in my own little world, but that's okay - they know me here!"
