Nothing But Fluff

Life can be a serious affair. It feels good now and then to talk fluff. There are simple pleasures that are worth mentioning. Here you can read funny stories, happy thoughts, favorite recipes, and any other fluff that I dream up. (Some posts were originally published on MySpace).

Shallow, I'm not. I ponder almost everything. Every book I read or movie I watch evokes something to discuss. I thrive on learning and growing to be a better example. Uncaring, I'm not. I'm a sincere friend, a loving mom, and a caring daughter. Apathetic, I'm not. I'm extremely passionate, especially about doing the right thing. I speak up in classes, tutor others, talk to strangers in stores, and love deeply. Boring, I'm not. I write essays, letters, poetry, and some fiction; take classes; cook from scratch; ride horses; ice skate; play with my dogs; go to the beach for a picnic; go out for Sushi; watch classic movies; read non-fiction, autobiographies, classic literature, and young adult novels; and get to know people on the inside. Reserved, I'm not. I speak openly about my past, candidly about my present, and enthusiastically about my deepest dreams for the future. Because I ask an enormous amount of questions, have an excellent memory, and listen well, not a day goes by that I don't learn something. Yet, I'll never claim to know it all.

MYSPACE: [Apr. 10, 2007] NOT AT ALL FLATTERING!

To think, it took something like THIS, to make me write my first post on my MySpace blog. I'm surfing MySpace this morning and I find one of those Celebrity Collage devices on someone's page. It's a face recognition program that matches your likeness with that of celebrity photos. I uploaded my photo to see just whom the face recognition program would say I looked like. I assumed it went by cheek bone structure, nose and eyes. Wrong! Right away, it placed a box around my head in the photo and analyzed it. I thought, so far so good. I think, I chose a rather nice likeness to upload. I looked good in the picture. I was happy. I had a nice smile. My hair looked good. Up came the results. Both men and women likeness matches appeared.

Now, I knew who most of the celebrities were. And I was NOT amused!

Granted, nothing matched higher than a 70%. BUT...matching almost completely bald Ron Howard and ALICE COOPER! was too much. I was screaming.

So, I selected women only of their grouping and got Joni Mitchell, Beyonce and J.K. Rowling. BEYONCE! What does Joni Mitchell and BEYONCE have in common; I'd like to know?

I've decided to go with J.K. Rowling. I have English heritiage and I write. We might have the same hair color. I can't tell if she dyes hers.

After pondering this program a bit, I decided to upload an unflattering picture. Just as I suspected. I matched with Naomi Watts. Considering this lovely actress was King Kong's main squeeze, it all made sense now.

Some big hairy ape made the program.
