Journal Jar Prompt Number 006

Now here we go with another post - the second one in a series of what will be 14. In the previous post I talked a little about how one of my simple pleasures in life is nature itself... the flowers and the animals, the sky and the ground. I'm back to talk about one of my other simple pleasures and here we go with simple pleasure #2.

Simple Pleasure #2: Photography. I love to take pictures. Whether they be of nature, people, places or even small things that other people may never have noticed before, I love capturing that little moment in time - it feels to me that I'm showcasing something that otherwise might have easily been forgotten. Special memories of something someone once said, a crazy outfit that someone decided defiantly matched, a moment that officially changed your life for the better! A photo is, simply put, a part of a lifetime of memories; a single second in this long time period that we call life. With the age of digital photography here, it makes it cheap, simple, and easy to snap that perfect shot - and if you mess up, quite frankly, it doesn't matter!! Who really cares what you do to get that shot? If you have to sneak up on that sleeping kid or the little boy climbing a tree, it's 100% worth the work to get the shot... plus, being so quick and all, there is instant gratification, which I love!

Journal Jar Prompt Number 003

Hey guys! I know that it's been a while, but I just found this blog again and thought about how great it would be to start this back up again! I did it for about two days and then stopped... that's not much of a blog then is it? So instead of doing my random drawing of strips like I normally would, today I used random.org to pick #1 out a list of 119 prompts I found... that's kind of weird I think!! Here is the prompt: What scares you?

Well, this might be interesting! Here's where it all comes out! Well, to tell you the truth, there are not that many things that scare me, but what there are, really, really freak me out. So the thing I think I'm most afraid of are sharks. I'm not sure why, or even where that fear came from, but I do think that it might be, as simple as it may be, how deadly they are! Most of the things I'm scared of are deadly, now that I think about it. For example the next thing down the list is fire... house fires that is. I'm not afraid of campfires or even forest fires for that matter, it's just the house fires that really give me the creeps. Some people are scared of bugs - any and all bugs - especially bees, wasps, and spiders. That's not particularly me. If I'm scared of bugs at all, its spiders... but not just any spider - for example, I would let a daddy longlegs spider crawl up my arm. But on the other hand, there are two particular spiders I AM scared of... Brown Recluse spiders AND/OR Black Widow Spiders. Both bites are deadly if not treated immediately. Like I said - my fear list is deadly!!
