IMAGINATION-
the process of reviving the mind, to open and free ones thoughts and desires. A child is whats thought to be the best creator in the mind with the ability to connect both reality with fantasy.
So, you're probably curious why I chose to blog Imagination well here it goes.....
I was serving at this local restaurant I have been working at a few years now ( might I add gets painfully annoying to always let the customer be right. Thats customer service for you... ) anyways I was standing at the service computer when I noticed across the packed restaurant a small curley blonde hair boy maybe about the age of 4. He was dancing in circles, humming a jingle to himself, sword fighting to.. nothing? At first I thought WHOES CHILD IS THIS GET A HOLD OF YOUR LITTLE MONSTER!... then I stopped and thought back what it was like to be that young again. No cares in the world, the ability to make the rock you found on the ground amongst the leaves an expansive piece of gold right before your eyes.. you'd run over to show your parents this amazing object you found, and at that point your parents too encouraged the growth of your playful mind. But at what age are imagination and fantasy no longer accepted?
When did we decide to perceive imagination as a fib or a lie? If I took a rock and walked up to my parents at the age of 22... and tell them with wide eyes filled with wonder that this rock was a chunk of gold... my mom would probably question if I had been taking drugs or been boozing to the point of black out. ( I got lost wondering about all this standing at the sercive station, that I had completely forgot about my tables I was serving.. hah woops.... filled a couple waters took an order and settled a bill ) Now back to where I left off... So here I am pondering the sanity of human kind, When your a kid its acceptable to mentally stimulate your mind with the false, when your a teen / adult its not acceptable ( your considered a liar! ),and once you hit that elderly age your so confused whats right and wrong by now, your labeled as senile!
Anyways, so ya I maybe over thought the whole situation just a little bit... but seriously, I miss the ability to join reality and fantasy, and not be thought of as a nut. Maybe the nutty people are the only smart ones out there, they want to sit on a purple cloud and they do it, if they want to be the best football player in the world and they are (to themselves) haha that made me think of the movie Ace Ventura pet dective when hes wearing a tutu playing football in disguise

Back on a serious note, now that I have your attention the real reason why I have started this blog in the first place is my love for fashion, creation, music and arts of all sorts. So If you are the type to close your mind and not accept the most wondeful invention at all ( imagination ) just in case you didnt catch on... then reading my Bubble Gum Blog will be no good to you.And so today I leave you with this,
Peter Pan : I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.....
