Life is good here this new year. 2008 ended well, as I looked back on the rest of the year this fall in preparation for January 1, 2009. I turned 33, celebrated a ton with me, close friends from all over the globe, and celebrated my complex puzzle of self. Hard to believe I have had CP for 33 years, and my DID for 30 years as of January 1, 2009. Yes, I celebrate my imperfections, because it's who I am and I keep me in line. Relationships come and go, but I have my DID always. It's like having a family on the inside of me. There are 18 of them, and 1 of me, totaling 19. And we rock. We write plays, we listen to music, view movies, watch TV, and spend time together when the rest of society can't wrap their brains around who we are. It's funny to think that even with resource books and materials, people are just too into themselves to wonder how we live. Reminds me of the book, really. Only as I write, I change the title for them. I'm Just Not That Into You Either! LOL.

Anyway, nuf said about that.....I love being me. There is never a change I can't deal with. I express me in all ways. Body and mind mostly. And people still don't get it. So, I post songs to describe what I am doing in this crazy wackadoo life.

Here's a list of songs that can get you started. There will be more......Bwa ha ha.......

Walking In My Shoes by Depeche Mode
Consume Me by DC Talk
Girl, Interrupted Soundtrack
Foxfire Soundtrack
NCIS Soundtrack
Le Roi Soleil Soundtrack
All The Best by Tina Turner (Anna Mae Bullock)

Momma Mia! by ABBA
Boomerang from Children Of A Lesser God Soundtrack

This past year, Amy Grant said something to me I will never forget at her Lead Me On Tour of 20 years. I sing for you.....and only you....people who wear blue jeans with bare feet, people who are addicts, people who are disabled, people who are different from society, and beaten down by the people in society who just don't get it. She also had this to say. Our faith saves us from ourselves. It was quite a concert.

Now, as I let her music Lead Me On......I focus on those who are different too. Those who boldly stand up for who they are, what they believe in, no matter what comes next. This to me is the meaning of life, and how change happens. Yes, We Can, and Change I Can Believe In. May President Elect Obama show the rest of America and the world he is just as imperfect, but yet, may he also try to be the best human being he can be in the four year term of service. I wish him well, and hope everyone can put aside the petty things they have to work hard at rebuilding this world we all inhabit.

He had me at Hello! :)

There is more to come later this weekend. For now, may this be enough, and I thank you for reading it. Life is up and down. You'll get it all here. After all, this is what being a human being is all about. Cheers!
