If Only I Was More Like Them

I am a creative person, but no where near as creative as I wish. When I was small you could see there was a certain amount of artistic tendencies. Unfortunately (or is that fortunately) I also had a passion for science. This passion has done me well. It is directly responsible for me getting a scholarship for college and getting me where I am now. I was told while I was young that I had a talent toward music. Again I only putz around with that but I do love my music.

So where have I went will all of this. Well I certainly have an analytical mind but my creative side suffers. You should see me at games like pictionary, I am totally out of my element. Music, well I have a keyboard and from time to time play with it. I continue to listen to different types of music and always try to be open minded. I listen to a lot of different things now than I ever have. Sure I can write (if you ignore spelling and grammar) but things like poetry and other creative stuff, not so good.

I find that I am really attracted to creative people. I am going to toss out just a few people here and I really hate to do that as I know I am leaving people out when I do that.


I have only know Top Cat for a little over 2 years now but it seems like so much more. I think there is a little bit of a connection there. Rick has a very kind heart and I love that about him. He is also very creative when it comes to writing. Often times I find things go over my head but you know, I still am in awe of what he can do when his creative juices are flowing. He also is very talented when it comes to music. I would love to spend a little time with him and his synth and what ever else some time. I would so love that.


I do not always go over and visit, as a matter of fact I am way behind on visiting but Old Hippie Chick (whom I usually just refer to Hippie Chick) is another extremely talented person. She is an artist extraordinaire. She can really write. Most of the things I have seen her write really makes me think. Add to that she is one super person and, well now I know why I am attracted to this wonderful soul.


A much more recent person I came upon is Little Wing. She is one beautiful California Chick. But you know what? Long before I knew what she looked like, I fell in love with the person. For someone so young (and I can say that as I am an old fart) she has a ton of talent. Her writing is wonderful as I think she writes from the heart. Her outlook on life is refreshing. She seems to have an extremely old soul, at least to me. The following is taken out of context and bended and folded and mutilated but it is something I remember, and probably always will about Little Wing. Part of it is a post she made and part of it is a portion of a reply to a comment. When speaking about her recent visit to Hawaii and viewing the Pearl Harbor Memorial...

We actually had a gentleman on our bus who had survived Pearl Harbor that day. The tears ran down his face as he stood on that memorial. They gave him a ball cap that said World War Two survivor, American Hero. Bless that man's heart. His emotions were raw.

The gentleman was grieving. I asked him if I could give him a hug, and when I put my arms around him, I was so proud to be such a small part of his history.

I really think that post and some of her comments says a lot about the person that she is.


There are so many more people I have met on the blog world that are talented in different ways. Two more that come to mind are Crabby and her sense of humor and how creative she is with what she puts together and then there is BTExpress who puts together some of the most entertaining posts. I love it when he takes us step by step on a repair project or cooking something or mixing a drink.


Of course there are so many more that are special in their own ways, some extremely creative, some just super people who are always there for people but now this feels like I am turning this into a who’s who list and I really did not intend that to happen because you always leave people off (waves at Sign Gurl and G-man).

OK, I knew it, I hate this post. Let me just copy the list of people over on my links and paste them here. I think it is time to revisit something I did a little while back and feature someone that I really appreciate out there in the blog world. Maybe that will make me feel a little better about this post.

Happy hump day everyone.
