Ramblings of a Canadian Gypsy Phoenix

  Page 324 of 365. Good Morning Lovies. How are you this Thor's Day?  I woke up at the ass crack of dawn today. I want to say my heart is heavy; but, I think a better term would be, it is filled with a heaviness because I want nothing more than to take the aching of someone I cherish very much. As you know, I never share names on here, this is the no different. I am not going to share what is going on with this person neither, as it is not my story to tell. I just know my heart aches for them... if only words and a simple flip of a "wand" would cure things, right?!!  Unfortunately, I am not Samantha and this isn't "Bewitched"... as much as I would love it to be right now. At this moment in time, it REALLY sucks being an empath!!! With this person on my mind, and a lot of people I love floating through... I really need to bring up a topic, that should be talked about more... tis the season; and I am NOT talking about the Big ole Jolly Fat Guy neither. It migh...

  Page 323 of 365.  Good Afternoon Lovies. I am writing this as one tired and pissed off Canadian. I have watched my country fall to pieces, crumbling because of the spineless bitches we have sitting on Parliament Hill ~ where the shitheads are that are supposed to be protecting the very people they are hurting!!! For years, possibly decades, our once beautiful country has turned into a universal joke. Criminals who are commiting the worst of the worst are being legally allowed to roam free, since there is this lovely thing called "catch and release"... an utter embarrassment!!!  People who kill, maim, or even pedos and predators don't see much of jail... but Heaven forbid if you hurt someone's feelings, by not agreeing with their religious views, especially if you are a white person (these days).  Laws are being passed that if you offend someone who is, let's say Islamic... you are scrutinized and given very stiff penalties in the eyes of the law; but if you do t...

Page 321 of 365. Good Morning Lovies. I mean, I wanna say it is a good morning; frankly, I want to crawl back into bed, and I probably will after I am done writing this entry.  No matter how I feel when I wake up... Mondays seem to drag me down. I cannot explain it. I have so much stuck in my head, yet I cannot put it down in words. I am not in a bad mood. I am jusy "being"... if that makes sense?!! There is nothing particularly wrong in my life, per se.  (OMG, I just found out I have been spelling that incorrectly my whole life... pretty bad for an English Major ~ oopsies). Am I the only one who gets the Monday Blues??? I really should count my blessings. I have a roof over my head. I have food in my belly (or at least I do, when I have an appetite... but that is a whole other story). I have heat (sometimes, depends on the "mood" of the boilers of my building LOL). I have my health (yes, I am breathing on my own). My children and grandchildren are healthy and livin...

Page 320 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. It is Sunday Funday... and for those of us in Canada it is Grey Cup Day. LOL, and for those of you who do not know, the Grey Cup is the Canadian version of the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the Superbowl.  CFL (Canadian Football League) vs NFL (National Football League). I have zero intention of watching the game. This may be the first year, I am not watching much of any sports, other than hockey.  Everything has become soooo political, on and off the field/grid, etc, that it's spoiled sports for me!!! I DO have a topic on my mind to write about today; but I feel my words will not justify what I am trying to express.  Lately, I have been seeing a lot of people expressing how they are tired of being fkd over, and are really wanting to be left alone unless someone with pure intentions can bring peace to their "bubble"... the "need" to be with someone is diminishing the older we get.  The odd thing I am also finding, is others wh...

Page 319 of 365. Good Morning Lovies. It's Caturday 🐱 It is supposed to rain in the next couple hours, which is fine with me, as I am not planning on going outside anytime soon. It isn't warm out, so for anyone out and about, I hope you got the right gear on to be comfortable today. Today, it is going to be a simple kind of entry. As an empath, I have a terrible time sitting back and watching people suffer; especially the people who are attached to my soul. I am a fixer and a giver. I don't like it when the people I love the most are in any sort of pain and anguish... and today, is one of those days. I don't know what I am really trying to say today. I just know my heart is heavy and I don't have the words to explain why... this may be a first for me. I hope you all have a good weekend. Please stay safe. Be well and Be loved. Check in on your loved ones, don't take them for granted... cherish the time you have, because honestly, you never know. ~ Phoenix

  Page 318 of 365 Good Afternoon Lovies. Happy FriYay!!!  I hope your workday flies by smoothly and you get to rock into the weekend without any drama. May you be safe and have a great time, in whatever you are doing.  I have no plans for the weekend, but I am perfectly fine with staying home and enjoying the comforts of my bubble. I have zero qualms about sitting at home, catching up on a movie, or simply hanging out with my Ma.  Peace and tranquility are always my goal!!! I am NOT one who goes out to bars. I don't need to get all dressed up and hit the dance floor, flauting my shyt to see which guy's attention I can grab. I am great in that department, and quite honestly, I am not a floozy; my body, my lady bits are for only one man to see... it's called RESPECT!!!  I think there are a lot of people ~ especially women who have seemed to forgotten what that word means. It's not a control thing. It's not just about respecting your significant other, it's also ab...

Page 316 of 365.  Good day Lovies. I am going to straight up warn you that this entry needs a TRIGGER WARNING!!! I am who I am, and who am I if I don't speak bluntly on things? I will simply dive right into what is on my mind, while it is still fresh... Yesterday, I was in one of the groups on facebook called "Lies in the Bible".  There was a picture posted of an adult male with his pants down; mind you he had boxers on. He had a young girl sitting on his lap crying.  The tag on it, said that he was her teacher, and she was learning about the reproductive system of some sort of animal. There were HUNDREDS of comments, NONE of which were saying how wrong the picture was. JFC, I snapped. I posted "WTF is wrong with you people? This is vile and disgusting". Some woman came back at me with, "You Prick, they are not a different species!" HUH??? Now it suddenly became about race... first off, it had nothing to do with skin colour; it had to do with the fact...

Hey y'all. I have been bottling up my feelings about the lack of compassion... EMPATHY might be a better word for it.  I know I just wrote an entry about how invested our country became about a small Ostrich farm on the West coast; but there is also a bitter side to our country, and I desperately want to call people out on it!!! Now don't get it twisted, I like millions of other Canadians (and people around the world), are furious about killing all the ostriches and obviously the sinister reason they pulled this power trip; but I am also angry at the people who fought soooo hard for the ostriches. Let me explain... Canada has been in crisis mode for a few years now... some might say, it has been 10 years of being run into the ground by the corrupt Liberals. I think it's been the lack of accountability in the newer generations, and the complete lack of parenting and discipline. I am a Gen Xer, and there is no way in hell we would act the way people act today... But THAT is a...

  Page 314 of 265. Good Morning Lovies. It's a Monday, so I say that with the best intentions. I have been struggling to get my laptop out and write about the mess I have stuck in my head; but today I decided I need to get some of it out before I go completely bat shit crazy... As most of you are aware, I live in Canada. I, personally, can say, this is NOT the Canada I grew up in.  I  am ashamed of what our government has done to our once beautiful and majestic country. The people here were revered as "nice" around the world... our reputation as a country was pretty high on the list. Today, however, I am very conflicted on what has happened over this past week. Yes, I know it has been going on much longer; but it came to head this week. The government has over reached AGAIN and those power hungry bastards killed hundreds of ostriches in a farm out in British Columbia, claiming they had the avian flu; and the farm was considered a bio-hazard.  We all know this was bul...
