Is Curiosity a Disease?

  An author by the name William Eamon wrote an  article called, "The Disease Called Curiosity". If you look above, or how you simply manage to find my blog in the first place, you will notice that Curiosity is kind of what it's all about and of course a few confessions here and there.
       
       The human mind is such an amazing thing and human topics/ opinions just amaze me. I seen it and just had to read the whole article on well.... my mind. l.o.l I'll admit that I had to reread the article a few time to understand where he was going with the topic. Mr. Eamon explains that a man named Augustine says, "Curiosity is a sin in 3 different ways lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and ambition of the world. (Eamon 2010)" Just from reading that far I'm like ok its official we all suffer from the disease. You see your spouse or someone you want as a spouse and the idea to be near/ touch them crosses your mind. The fact you cant take your mind off of something you find beautiful. The fact you have to know more about a topic or study a topic. The list could go on for days on ways a person could fall into those three categories. So I had to know what he was talking about. Could it be really possible that so many inventors, reporters, and authors all have a disease simply because they want to know more?

   "Without curiosity, there can be no scientific discovery, and without discovery, there can be no knowledge. (Eamon 2010)" Over time we as people evolve and our ways of thinking change for the better. It's safe to say that the author simply wanted to express the history of "Curiosity" rather than actually believing that someone like me has a disease and needs medication to check my want for more knowledge.

    After reading the article I wanted to know more about what this authors style of writing and his interest and as it turns out I was correct. Most of the articles and books I came across were all on how the older days functioned. Something about the early modern days of Europe, Renaissance Italy held his interest long enough to write a few books on the topic.

California King

Most people think or better yet listen to music as a way of expressing themselves. If  you had to listen to the music that someone likes or even plays over and over there is a message in it. I've slept on a California king bed before and it takes up the whole room leaving enough room for a dresser. If you have ever seen this bed you would know that four adults could sleep side by side with no problem. Rihanna choose to make a song using this bed as a mental image as to how far apart her and her spouse have grown apart.
Unfortunately this song happens to be the song that my boyfriend chooses to play over and over on his guitar hero. If you are in a relationship this is not a song you want your spouse to play over and over when their drunk. He tells me that depending on how our night has gone determines how he feels about the song. Other night he just likes her voice and the melody. Just to give you a idea of how often the song is played, his current score on guitar hero live is 107,001. I refuse to believe that I was being annoying that night, he had three too many shots and replayed the song 11 times. If you think I'm kidding sorry to say I'm not, Hell I counted! In that moment I chose to tell myself that he wanted a easier song to master. Crazy thing tho is after playing a song more than two times the colors start to blend and one hand stops moving causing me to miss keys.
The song to my boyfriend however is his way of telling me that we don't click like we use to. He loves me but I don't understand him or what he was trying to say. A solution to this is to let him explain to me what he meant or even better take the guitar and play a different song myself lol.  A relationship is not easy, it takes time (a lot) and understanding. The music that a person listens to explains so much. Either the music explains how they currently feel or a fantasy world they wish they could disappear too.
Lets be honest I'm a work in progress when it comes to trying to understand better.

GLUTTONY

Because of you

Because of you I have found love when all I did was hate....
Because of you I am able to see the things that I was blind to....
Because of you I was able to grow up at a time when all I wanted was to be a child...
Because of you I know there is a calm to my storm...
Because of you I know working hard pays off.

I love you and I wanted to say thank you for sticking by me even when I lose my mind. I slip away and feel so lost at times. It's nice to be able to roll over and find you at my side. I gave you hell and I know I still do ,and I'm sorry sometimes I get overwhelmed with life and forget to breath. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry I'm mean to you, I'm sorry that I snap on what appears to be nothing. Thank you honey-bunny, my baby, my love, my pooter!!!

Ask Me Again

The truth is I don't know and I don't think I ever have. It's a big mixture of things that kinda just hit you all at once. It's an anchor that holds you in one place, a warm feeling that takes over your whole body, a goofy look you just can't whip off your face.
Being with you became the best part of my day. You have always been the last person on my mind and the first person on my mind. It's almost scary ,but I'd do anything for you, making sure your ok, and what you need became a priority. I want everyone to know how much I love and can't breath without you. Your flaws aren't imperfections yet things that made you human. Do I dare bring up the fact that I've been dreaming for years about our daughter (Lilly) and watching you two swim while I rock our other child. You became my best friend and I became a smarter, better person because of you. On our worst days I couldn't stomach the idea of losing you. Ask Me again why I love you, ask me again why I'm with you, ask me again... on a different day, on another hour I'd tell you something different or something even new. So Ask Me!

Scramble

Pen to paper, how many times I've wanted to get lost in the lines. Endless amount of words come to mind, so many that I become suffocated and trapped in my own thoughts and emotions. Most days I want to catch ghost, not an act of suicide but to simply disappear out of everyones lives. It's not like it would be a loss on their end. No one keeps in contact with me anyway. If it weren't for me bugging them my phone wouldn't even ring.
You see when you work for a company you must become flawless and keep up with the updates/changes or you become out dated and slow. You simply are a piece in their machine that operates their whole store. Just like any other piece tho you can be replaced. The thing about being flawless in a company tho is the fact you start to loss yourself.
Hmmm my pen hasn't stopped moving but I cant find the words to make every other word to start with matter. The funny thing is thats how thoughts are. One moment you think about this and that in hopes to make sense of a event in your life or a question. In the end its all just a scramble.

Girlfriend

Quick someone grab a freaking dictionary because I have no idea what the hell a girlfriend is or how to be one! So these two people have a baby and they attempt to teach this baby about life, have morals, goals, standard. " You are never to good for something, they say. Sky is the limit, if you put your mind to it you can achieve anything, they say." My dad spent my whole life couching me to be the best person I can be all so in the end I can get that nice, fancy ring guys spend thousands on.
" No man will marry a whore, You must keep a clean house, you must cook, make money but not to much money, not to much sassy, no man wants to argue, he would say."  That's all fine but no one has ever told me how to be a girlfriend first. If you think the same rules apply well let me be the first to tell you that you are wrong. That's the simple shit that people just do on their own. It takes so much more or does it.
