WORD O' THE DAY! ( Fair Warning Alert: I get seriously off topic )

And today's WORD O' THE DAY is..

BALDACHIN.


?1?!?

No, baldachin does not have anything to do with John Travolta ( Or Chins at all for that matter. )
But in passing, i just wanted to mention:

John Travolta's Chin = HOT.


Anyway.
Here's a real baldachin.


Definition :
(1) A cloth canopy fixed or carried over an important person or a sacred object
(2) A rich embroidered fabric of silk and gold
(3) An ornamental structure resembling a canopy used especially over an altar

CREATIVE JUICE!
(slurpslurpslurp)

This makes me think of :

Ruins. Castles. Fantasy!. Ancient Traditions. Secrets of Royalty. Ancient China. Aladdin?. Mystic Far Off Places. The Pleasure Of A Dream.
Maybe dreams are real.
Maybe there's a place where dreams literally come true.
The fate of that world is in the mind and musings of a dreamer.

Oh wait.

That's the move Inception.
( Kinda )

Random Story:
One summer when i was just a wee thing, i was reading the literary classic Arabian Nights, and i would bring it to the beach with me.
Now, on this beach, there was a large piling of rocks and things.
You could either call it a Jetty,
OR

A mystical fortress/land/hideout.
A.k.A THE BEST PLACE TO PLAY. ( Always the places that make mom worry the most )
Anyway,
Apparently, someone had randomly drilled a large hole into one of the rocks, and it was like a tube down and out the other side of the rock, and on that other side was this little nook (and cranny) where i could stash my book!
I'm probably elaborating on this times a million, but it doesn't really matter what the reality of it was because at the time i totally thought it was the coolest thing eva.
No one knew what i was doing,running all over the Jetty, sometimes with my book, sometimes not ( like a ninja! )
But i was such a happy little girl, playing with that rock with the hole drilled into it.
So thank you, person who had random desire to drill.

Ah, the mysterious forces of the universe.
They enthrall me.

People make impacts on each others lives in ways they never imagine.
And sometimes, we never get to tell people how they've affected us.

But i think whenever we do have a chance to let people know that their existence matters to us, and that they have made their mark in our world...
we should seize that chance.

One of the kindest things you can ever do is tell someone you appreciate them.

Like that guy who works at the Wawa i go to.
Totally makes me happy just that he's alive.

Hey Wawa guy..
you're the jam. :)


That's all for today ladies and gents.
I think I'll go tell someone I appreciate them today.
( And side note * I know we're just getting acquainted here but...
when I write that I'm going to do something like that.
I do it.
Look at my other blog, www.lemonbookworm.blogspot.com, for my promise to never write a lie. )

Adios!

Yours Truly,

Lemony.
