Beauty on the asphalt
Jun. 7th, 2009 08:25 amI’d like to start this post with thanks to everyone who has been asking about my health. I am feeling better than I have in over a year! and that is huge news for both me and Mrs. CB. (It does not necessarily mean that I will clean the bedroom, just sayin!).
And as a PSA- talk to your doc about Vitamin D! Even if you are an outdoor person (especially if you use sunblock) you may not be getting enough. You do not want to become as deficient as I did- we’re talking extreme physical fatigue, brain fog that made it impossible for me to write because I couldn’t find my words, and we are not even gonna get into the breathing issues. Vitamin D is your friend! Okay, now on to some good stuff…
Yesterday evening, Mrs. CB and I made our annual trek to the Columbus Arts Fest. We love going because there are so many awesome displays of art from all over the country. And there is FOOD! On a STICK!!! But first thing was wine stop. I had not had any alcohol in almost 3 weeks as I waited for my stomach to heal…Shiraz FTMFW X2!!!!!
We did our first walk through, scoping out the booths we wanted to re-visit, and picking out what we wanted to eat. After weeks with no appetite, I wanted everything! Mrs. CB started with some pork adobe while I had a gyro and falafel (sp?). We walked around and Mrs. CB ended up with some painted scarf thing and jewelry. I was looking for a new wallet, but nothing caught my eye. Well nothing until we hit the next food court. Corn dog, fries, and deep fried dill pickles (seriously, they are delicious!), wine for me and mojito for the wife, and we were set to watch some local talent performing on stage. But the show we found most interesting was the one that was playing out in front of us under the misting tent.
There were these two adorable kids, I wanna say about 4-5 years old. A little girl and a little boy (we originally thought he was a girl because of his long ponytail) were playing together under the mist. When the music started, they grabbed each other’s hands and started dancing. I am telling you, they were GAZING into each other’s eyes! After that first dance, they held hands the entire time we were there, and even tried to dance the proper way (hands on shoulder, arms extended) but they were both trying to lead. This was the most awesome thing we saw last night. I am usually really shy, even with people I know, but I asked the boy’s dad about them and he was so proud that his little guy “has game”. Everyone was watching them and commenting on how freaking adorable they were. When we got up to leave, I told the boy’s dad to start saving up for a wedding cause we all wanted to be invited. This little scene, filled with innocence and beauty, was all the antidote we needed to heal from all the ugliness and hate we see in the world today. I wish I could have bottled it up and passed it around.
I’m at work till 4:00, saving the babies and the childrens.I am also working on my next Otalia vid which I hope to finish in time for the Solstice Calendar.
You all have a great day!
