I AM IN AWE

I celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday with my sweets since she works all day today and tomorrow =( my poor sweety. We went to one of my favorite restaurants (this one was Italian) We shared a large, LARGE bowl of Potato Pasta, which by the way does not taste like potato, and then we crossed the street to the theater. I have three words for you... WE WATCHED AVATAR.

I do not, DO NOT, have words to explain in detail how that movie made me feel. But I'll still try...It completely amazed me. It is such a brilliant film. James Cameron's mind is extraordinary. To be quite honest, I've never cared much for 3D films, I saw one last year that left me utterly disappointed. Therefore I was feeling a bit "iffy" about seeing Avatar in 3D. But thanks to my soul mate, Consuelo, we ended up watching it in 3D and WOW. It truly made it much more magnificent for me. I felt like I was there. The film gave me goosebumps, I'm still feeling its after effects. In fact, I dreamed with it! LoL

I am convincing my lovely sister, Karla, to go watch it with me tomorrow. She isn't a movie junky (as myself) but she humors me now and then with films I can't possibly imagine people not watching. We do this with books too.

I mean listen to me...I just saw this movie last night, and I cannot wait to see it again! That's your Sapphire for you!

I think James' dreams are unbelievable and I just cannot wait to see what he comes up with next. He truly inspires me. I believe I am a great writer and visionary. (It's a curse and a gift people, sometimes I feel I might just go insane with the things my inquisitive mind comes up with) But James' movie 'Avatar' truly inspired me. I would give him way more than just 5 thumbs up. I will root and woot woot for this movie.

I tell you bloggers: I AM IN AWE

Much Love, Sapphire Blue

missing my blog =(

I have not forgotten about my blog =) i've just been insanely busy. I have an account with inkpop and i have been reading the most amazing stories as well as posted two short stories myself. but today i needed my blog. so here is what i am going through/feeling right now....

The sunset isn’t always the way one might describe. All the beautiful colors I have witnessed, sometimes seemingly more exquisite than anything else I have ever seen in my entire life. Upon gazing at something so miraculous I can never hold back in thanking Someone other than Mother Nature. I’m not religious in any way although I still believe in God. And when I gape through the window as I drive over a bridge, as the water beneath sparkles and glitters with the sun’s ray upon its rippling movement I smile and thank God.
I begin to pray and wish that one day I can travel to the country, or a forest where I can breathe fresh mountain air, trees, flowers and the clear river waters. I pray that I could one day stay in a warm, safe cabin and have the opportunity to gawk silently upon the perfect nature that surrounds our existence. A life in the city is lame. It doesn’t fulfill me; it never will complete me the way a sunset does. Or the way staring at the eye melting sunrise across my windowpane does.
I wish I owned a laptop so badly. Yes, I am insane for not owning one already! But with my mortgage, car, insurance, electricity, gas, pets, and everything else, God! I don’t even go shopping anymore! But I wish I did own one so I could drive to my nearest forest preserve and lay a towel to sit over and just write as I am doing now.
Where am I now? I am at my college’s library, typing away. Nope, no homework today. I got my headphones and blasting Slipknot-Snuff in my already bleeding ears. I turned off my cell and closed my eyes. I am entering The Kqas-bagh: my little personal world—my mental lair. A world I created in my mind that exists only there. I’m there now, alone. Typing away my anguish and frustration. In The Kqas-bagh, it is near sundown and warm. Not freezing like it is now in Chicago. No, here it is warm, not hot, just pleasantly warm. And I’m sitting in the most comfortable lounge chair that there exists in the universe, with my laptop comfortably settled in a small unmoving desk. My lounge chair and desk are on top of a garden-like roof. With nothing but heavenly smells. To my right I have my munchies and a glass of homemade lemonade. No one is knocking on my door, or even worried about me. Nothing else exists but this sunset. And I definitely DO NOT need to use the washroom.
The light blue, almost purple sky is gleaming toward the east. And toward the west, the blues are almost gone—hidden underneath a layer of a bright pink and orange. Melting together so perfectly that it’s making my eyes tear. And unlike any other sunset; this one is going to last more than it should, so that my mind can slowly graze upon it.
The Kqas-bagh…always godly, always perfectly serene and heavenly. Always there and always comforting.

CURSE MY INQUISITIVE MIND!

I gaze in wonder to the world, to the patterns that exist in our complex life; patterns with out obvious regularity and patterns that are far to twisted for us to grasp their starting or finishing point. I stare at the billowy clouds that offer me comfort in a stressful day. Or the hypnotizing flicker of a burning flame. When others might twinge in fear to the ear shattering sound of lighting bolts, I stare in wonder, counting the seconds to another strike of that wicked sound. And as Autumn approaches, society cringes at the thought of all the leaves falling and the labor they'll have to put in to maintain their lawn looking decent. So when all others focus on that, I search for soft leaves and save them. I study the patterns of the veins on each leaf, and I witness the color scheme slowly changing as soft turns to delicately crunchy. Indeed my mind wanders too far from me sometimes. But as I Google "Earth Wonders" or something as simple as "Ants" it feels right to read or view nature in ways that our 21st century living conditions cannot offer us.
