Work in progress

This will be finished in the next year or so...
I just finished a project with these...



Make Your Life A Dream

That's right, I walked into Cal Ranch and bought ONE horseshoe. Just one? Yes, just ONE. For my one legged horse. Thanks!!

Of course it was just for one of my crazy ideas. I've had this idea floated around in the old melon for weeks now and finally decided to just do it. It doesn't need much explaining I just took a horseshoe and painted it one of my favorite colors. I need a little daily reminder and this was the thing that was going to do it for me. A reminder for me to make my own luck and to do the things I need to do to reach my goals. So I hung it up where I could see it all of the time. (I think this may be a future tattoo.) I just feel drawn to horseshoes lately - Don't ASK! I can't never fully explain what goes on in my brain and I'm pretty sure you NEVER want me to go there.

Let your freak flag fly!

That is the new theme of this blog.

I encourage everyone to embrace their freak flag with in.

Most people are familiar with the lyrics to this song and this phrase has been said in various ways over time so I know this isn't an original idea but I've decided to run with it.

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day, it's gettin' kinda long
I could-a said, "It wasn't in my way"
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes I feel like, I owe it to someone

On the random side; one my favorite movies, Family Stone, (Love Luke Wilson!) quotes this perfectly!

Ben Stone: [to Meredith] You have a freak flag. You just don't fly it.
