And then one day, it all changed. I saw you like how they saw you – maybe even more so. I wanted to be with you all the time. I couldn’t get enough of you. You stole my heart.

More of you
When we first met I was unsure of you. You looked good but I didn’t know you well enough. Others were drawn to you and I was hesitant - our first encounter wasn’t memorable. I didn’t want you like how much everybody else seemed to. I heard people talk about you, the desire, the passion they had for you. They were excited, deliriously happy and couldn’t wait for more of you. Praising you...longing for you...captivated by you. You won competitions without even saying a word. One look at you and the prize was yours.
And then one day, it all changed. I saw you like how they saw you – maybe even more so. I wanted to be with you all the time. I couldn’t get enough of you. You stole my heart.

The Golden Arches of Greatness
Have you ever thought about why a hamburger is called a ‘hamburger’ when it doesn’t have ham in it? It’s strange, it’s puzzling and I’m curious. Sure it could be because the first hamburger was made in Hamburg, Germany. But I like to make up my own wild stories.....
The Hamburger Story
The guy who invented ‘hamburgers’ was named Ham Burg. He was bent on taking over the world. His latest invention for success was a re-make on the ordinary, staple sandwich. Instead of ham and cheese or chicken and avocado – a toasted sesame seed bun with flame grilled beef, layered with cheese, bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato – called “Hamburger” after himself. Thinking this tasty, irresistible treat would addict millions if not billions, visions of his name posted on every major billboard with followers pledging their allegiance flashed before him. His flock would give up everything else for him - tacos, nachos, rice, pasta - Pfft! What are those? Little by little they’d be consuming him, enjoying him, craving him, taking late night drives to him - a following of people bent for more…more… and moreeee!!! HAM-BURGER!!! HE'S TAKEN OVER THE WORLD!!! And you didn't even realise.
Maccas caught wind of the idea, stole it, re-branded it, up-sized it, put a clown to it... and now available in every major city – less then a 10 minute drive to satisfaction.
Ham Burg - one tasty mad genius!

Choice
The world today is fascinated with superheroes, vampires and magic. We see it on TV, read it in books and dream about which superpower we would choose to possess if we had the opportunity – ok maybe that’s just me then.
It’s all so intriguing, enthralling, captivating and thrilling!!! The world would be such a different place if only I had one of these superpowers. It’s a question I like to ask people to see what they would choose and why. So I can choose wisely. For saying it out-loud may possibly, potentially, maybe, make my wish come true.
The sheer possibilities are endless.
Telekinesis like Jean Grey – having the ability to manipulate and control objects with my mind – think of it, I’d never have to get up! Every action just thought out would happen. Gone are the days of getting up to find the remote when I’ve settled comfortably on the couch.
Superhuman strength like Hulk. Challenging beefy guys and having a small Asian girl whoop their ass. Priceless. And if I bet on myself – Gold.
Weather manipulation like Storm. Sunshine today, rain tomorrow, tornado on that guys house that cut in line – the weather at my fingertips. Never having to Google the weather forecast to schedule my laundry.
Time manipulation like Hiro Nakamura – affecting time by slowing, accelerating, reversing or stopping it and the added bonus of time traveling. Seeing the future, going back to the past - never being late again.
Teleportation like Nightcrawler - moving from one place to another instantly. Saving time and money. No more overpriced airfares. Hello holidays!
Power absorption like Rogue. Cheating to get every power so no decision has to be made. This is perfect! Except what if I’m the only one in the world with a power? That would render my power useless.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about or who I’m talking about, SHAME on you. Get educated!
Today I’ve finally decided. Decided on which power would be best for me.

Dreaming big
There are times in life I realise I'm wired differently from everybody else. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just, different. I'm reminiscing on the delirious excitement of owning your first home. Walking in, knowing this is all mine. It’s a rush, its exhilarating. Not because you know you have somehow made it in life in terms of society’s standards of career, home, car, family checklist (Of which I’m at 2 out of 4). Instead it’s the sheer excitement of No Rules and utter Freedom!
I walked into my brother's new place last week and since then I've been excited. A blank canvas. My mind has been in over-drive on what he needs or what I like and think will be spectacular at his new place. Ashamedly I've even flicked through catalogues to check out what is on sale and how to make my Magic plastic swipey card purchase these wonderful pieces without the bank account depleting and most importantly without the husband finding out. With the minor detail of convincing my brother his new place came furnished in tasteful decor that screams out Naomi. But what I’m most excited about is the camping out my brother will have in his new place. Sleeping on the floor for the first few weeks. Eating off a make shift table erected with bricks and a plank of wood.
Most people dream of having a home filled with coordinating modern furniture. And I, dream of eating breakfast over the sink and keeping my perishables inside an esky with a block of ice. Perhaps I should give my furniture to my brother and experience the joys he's soon to experience?
For I was robbed of the opportunity of roughing it.

My first post in the blogging world
I'm by far not a novice, for I spend many hours being entertained by other blogs I frequent. This will be a platform for my ramblings as I spend my days in quiet alone-ness and this will be my way of staying connected to society. Although I must admit, I have a short attention span and will one day be tired of blogging and give it up altogether. (note: one semi-assembled bbq in the garage and one partially assembled buffet table strewn across the entrance of the house. Now I'm trapped as the front door is boarded up).
So we should take a bet on how long it takes me to move onto a new and wonderful past time. But this is me getting ahead of myself in assuming I will have avid followers. Although one can only hope through this 'bet' I can retire for good.
