*Star* Winner of "Best Blog of 2011" for "The Quills" . Previous winner of "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  Round 1. A big, heartfelt thank-you to all of my fans and supporters! *Heart*

Welcome to the randomness, silliness, craziness, and all-around tomfoolery – what a great word that isn't used nearly enough – that is my blog. Don't get me wrong, it isn't always silly and crazy. Sometimes it's serious or sad but, more often than not, it's comical. Nonetheless, it is always entertaining. I try to see the fun in life. I'll add to it as much as I can so make sure you check back often. *Cool* Feel free to leave a comment or review to let me know you stopped by. *Wink*

DISCLAIMER: If you are someone who gets offended easily, then you shouldn't go any further. I'm up-front, to-the-point, sarcastic and honest (sometimes brutally so). I tell it like it is, or the way I think it is. If you don't get offended very easily, then you've come to the right blog. All are welcome. The fun is free! *Wink*

My life is an open book blog. Hilarity and chaos ensue...

Day 4 Prompt for the "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" : Scientists discover a new material that can ...

If this prompt doesn't float your boat, write about - What does.
OR... spend your time smack talking your opposing team.
OR... All of the above.

It looks like our buddy, Joel (aka Brother Nature , threw us a freebie today. Any guesses on which one I’ll choose? For those of you that have been around here for a while, you already know. I’ll go with with what’s behind Door #4, please. You guessed it. I’m going with all of the above. BOOM! *Nuclear* *Radioactive* Is there really no bomb emoticon? *Shock*

But I digress...let’s break down today’s prompt into 4 parts, shall we?

1. Scientists discover a new material that can ...

This just in…scientists discover a new material that can be used to make…

FLYING CARS!! Finally! After all, it’s 2015, and we all thought we’d be driving around in Jetsons’ mobiles by now. This discovery is groundbreaking. Chrysler, Ford, and GM are all anxiously awaiting the appropriate government approval in order to begin manufacturing these cars. Sources say that the pods to send family members to school and the shopping mall, as well as the feature to fold the car up into a briefcase, will be optional. Stay tuned for more information on this breakthrough discovery!

I know that my twin, Norb (aka Fivesixer , is with me on this one! *Laugh*

2. If this prompt doesn't float your boat, write about - What does.

What floats my boat? Life. Love. Laughter. Friends. Family. Living each day to the fullest. Striving to become a better version of me. Constantly evolving. Trying to be a good person. Reading. Writing. Always learning. Paying it forward. Hoping I’m the kind of person my dog thinks I am. Smiling. Putting my best foot forward. Living in the present moment; it is peace personified. Realizing that difficult times are inevitable, but drama is a conscious choice. Never forgetting who I am or where I came from. Being there for those I love. Standing my ground. Defending myself & those I care about. I think I can sum up what floats my boat in one simple word: passion. I’m passionate about life and all it has to offer.

3. OR... spend your time smack talking your opposing team.

Joel has the participants of the "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  split into 2 teams. I am on Team #2. Our team name is to be determined. More on this to come. While I’m all about trash talking, I think I’m just going to let my blog speak for itself and do the trash talking for me. Do you see all those shiny awards that adorn this blog? There’s a reason for them. Who won the Quill Award for Best Blog on this here site in 2011? Yours truly. And, last, but certainly not least, who came in first place of the very first round of "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" ? *Hand* Me again. If you think I’m being cocky by saying all that, you couldn’t be more wrong. I’m simply stating facts, and those facts happen to speak for themselves.

4. OR... All of the above.

This concludes today’s episode of "Invalid Item"  and look at that, I got it done and posted before midnight! You guys got a bonus today – 2 blog entries since I didn’t post yesterday’s entry until after 1:00 this morning. Happy reading! *Reading*

Today’s song is taking it back…wayyyyy back to cheesy television at its finest. I tried finding a song that fit today’s prompt and this was the best I could do. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to the Love Boat. *Anchor* *Wave1*

Day 3 Prompt: I have a muse, I never asked for one or wanted one, but then one day my muse showed up and has been hanging around here ever since. My muse is Andre the Blog Monkey, who most of you know. Do you have a muse? Tell us about your muse. How does he/she/it help you write and create? If you don't have a muse, try and generate one. You may need your muse to help you out down the road in this competition.

This is going to sound weird, but I don’t actually have a muse. I mean, I do…sort of. It’s an idea of someone. A thought, really. He's not just my muse. He's my everything. He is why I live and breathe. Whenever I write anything, he's the one I'm thinking about. Who is this figment of my imagination, you ask?

He's someone ...

... that loves me with reckless abandon -- deeply, passionately & unconditionally -- always.

... who has a backbone & is NOT a spineless, gutless coward.

... that knows I won't always be on my "A" game & loves me, not in spite of that, but BECAUSE of that. He understands me, knows I'm not perfect & loves me anyway.

... I can talk to about anything and everything, or nothing & he enjoys it all the same.

... who is strong enough, and has the courage, to be with someone as strong & courageous as I am.

... who will call me out when I give him shit & give it right back to me, if necessary.

... that won't lie to me. He may not tell me everything, he doesn't need to, but he's honest with me. Always.

... who will always kiss me goodnight.

... who hasn't "settled" for me because I'm his only option. He wants ME. Period.

... who appreciates me & will never take me for granted.

... who brings me flowers, not because it's my birthday, a holiday or our anniversary, but simply because it's a day that he has me in his life.

... that recognizes that my friends & family are just as important as his.

... who can finish my thoughts and sentences because he understands me so completely.

... who won't mind having to climb and/or tear down a few walls. I'm worth it.

... that I LIKE just as much as I LOVE.

... who sees the beauty on the outside, but is more appreciative & thankful for the beauty I have inside.

... who not only knows what romance is, but he also grasps just how important it is to keeping a relationship strong. Showing someone how you feel about them is just as important as telling them how you feel.

... that I can laugh with, joke around with and just be downright silly with & not worry that he thinks I'm immature. Who doesn't love someone that's just a kid at heart?

... who "gets" me.

... that makes me a priority in his life. I don't always need to be #1, but I'd like to, at least, be in the top 5.

... who will reach for my hand because he needs to touch me & feel physically connected to me, right then and there.

... who is supportive of me & my decisions.

... that is not afraid of, or intimidated by, my intelligence, my independence, or my successes. I don't keep "score". He shouldn't either.

... who adores spending time with me, whether we are out on a date, hanging with friends/family, or having a quiet night at home.

... who knows that there are times when a kind word or compliment is just what I need to hear, especially if I'm upset or having a bad day.

... that is an extension of my soul or, using my favorite Irish-Gaelic saying, he is "mo anam cara" (translation: my soul mate).

... who doesn't feel the need to constantly put me down & degrade me in order to feel better about himself.

... who asks about my day, listens, and is truly interested in hearing about it, not out of a sense of obligation, but because he really wants to know.

... who realizes I had a life before meeting him, and won't judge me, or fault me, for it. He won't be jealous of it, either. Instead, he'll embrace it for making me the person I am today.

... that knows the importance of keeping the lines of communication open.

... who is my other half; the part of me that I never knew was missing, until I met him.

... who doesn't think a disease makes me defective because I can't have kids.

... who looks at me like I'm the only woman on Earth & there is no one else he'd rather be with.

... who is proud of me & tells me so.

... that isn't too scared to tell me how much he loves me.

... who is passionate about life & takes pleasure in living it to the fullest...with me.

... who smiles when I walk into a room because he's happy to see me, even if I've only been gone for 5 minutes.

... who will never stop showing me how much I mean to him, even after he's got me.

... that loves stargazing, spotting a rainbow, or watching a beautiful sunset as much as I do. He admires how spectacular everyday life can be.

... who calls me because he can't wait another second to hear my voice.

... that I can cuddle up with and watch the Phillies/Flyers/Eagles games, night after night & he always thinks it's the best date. Ever (even if our team loses).

... who I trust & he trusts me in return.

... that knows that, sometimes, I may say I'm OK, when I'm not. He holds me, tells me he loves me & lets me know everything will be all right.

... who isn't repulsed by a scar. Each one tells a story & mine is quite simple: I survived. He should be relieved by it & thankful for it.

... that I can kick back, relax & talk sports with, without him being intimidated if/when I know more stats than he does.

... who believes in the beauty of dreams & wants to chase them together.

... who isn't afraid to argue. It happens in every healthy relationship & it makes them stronger. After all, heated arguments create heat & making up is A LOT of fun!

... who is my best friend. True friendship creates real love.

... that wants a partner, an equal, and NOT a maid/cook/laundry service/baby factory. He wants the love of his life; someone he can share everything with. Again, I'll say he's "mo anam cara" and I am his.

... who accepts the fact that I am perfectly imperfect, just like him.

... that will never intentionally hurt me. It's impossible to find someone that won't make mistakes, but he should be worthy of me & my forgiveness.

... that is a sarcastic smartass like me.

... who will ALWAYS have my back.

... that considers himself the luckiest guy in the world because I return all of the sentiments above & THEN SOME ... and I spoil him rotten daily.

I want to be his leading lady AND his best friend. Is that so wrong? Is it too much to ask? Does this man actually exist? The hopeless romantic in me says that he does. The realistic part of me also says he exists, but that he’s either taken or gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

Maybe he is out there wondering if I exist. Only time will tell, I suppose.

I’ll leave you with a song. You may already guess what it is, since the lyrics are the title of this entry.
