Today's prompt is too much for me to tackle in a day, so I'll do it when I have more time. For today, I'll do tomorrow's.

Fight or flight: when faced with a confrontation do you stay and fight or head for the hills?

I have pretty much always chosen flight. Ever since I can remember this is what I was taught to do. My mom got into a huge fight with her sister at an Embassy Suites in San Antonio, we left in the middle of the night. My mom got into a huge fight when we lived with her sister in McAllen Texas, we moved back to Albuquerque.

I am sure there are more examples that I cannot think of right now... If there are things that have happened in my past to the opposite, I cannot think of them now.

Wait, there is one. My mom was denied an increase on her Sears cad because my dad was behind on payments. My parents were divorced at this time. My mom chewed the hell out of whoever was on the phone with her. Rightfully so, too. So this is an example of fight.

So I have seen both in my childhood, but I still choose flight. I don't like confrontation. Why? Well who really likes it would be my question, and why?


Thanks for reading

Do you believe in reincarnation? That is a tough one, but very funny that it is 'assigned' on the anniversary of my first marriage... I think that there are different versions of things all through life, stages. So, there are different stages of relationships, the honeymoon, the comfort zone, and finally, using the toilet with the door open... For example. Why can't there be different phases or stages of life? I have heard one theory of reincarnation, being that you live this life to learnt, and in the next life, you learn what you didn't get in the last life. Once you have learned all you have to learn, then you go on, not sure where, but on. I have not answered the question: Yes, I believer in reincarnation. I would like to think that you kinda get to choose when you are ready to come back. Kind of like a Karmic employment office... What did you go to learn in the last life? And do you think that you did? Let's go to the film to see if you did... W

Once a scrounger, always a scrounger

Robert's last day of freshman year is next a Wednesday, that alone is crazy, but it made me remember something. The last day of my freshman year, I actually wanted to go to school. I said good bye to the teachers I liked, but after that, a friend of mine and I went through the halls, and came upon tons of lockers that people had not bothered to clean out... So there were binders and paper and more all over for the taking. I remember lots of loose leaf paper, and I took home as much as I could carry. Now, was that because I am, at heart, a scrounger? Or was it my love of school and office supplies? When I was in 6th grade, same thing, went to the last day, and came home with 'stuff'. However, this time it was supplies AND art projects people had not taken home, including GIANT dice. It was interesting getting those home, on the city bus and they didn't last long once I got them home. So, what does this say about me? I like unique objects and office supplies? Coul
