Childsplay…

Namaste! Salaam! Howdeedoo! And bonjour to you!
I am so grateful to, and for, ALL of you Lovelies!!! Thabk you for all your kind advice and suggestions and for sharing parts of your selves, especially in regard to my potential seeking-a-brother-or-sister-sentient-being-of-some-type for my Nicklasbabydog! Bless you!! Om Hare YOU GUYS!!!! *hugs*
I’m still waffling. Hand-wringing a bit as I must consider my senior-citizen-dog’s feelings before my own. He is The Boss of Me. LOL!
I will keep you posted. :)
Beautiful Friends, I have a confession.
I am twelve.
LOL! What I MEAN is, I am twelve years old inside, most of the time. In truth- I’m a moron. In a good way. (Hopefully)
They say “you are born with your character”. And, they say “your character is your destiny”. (Whoever “they” are)
I believe both of these sayings to be true. Don’t you?
Our psyche, our personality, forms early in our development. (That’s how cops know bad people get their starts…..and that’s how kids kinda always indicate how they will turn out) I’m no psychologist (big shocker!) But I will bet its rooted in fact.
I’m glad. I’m happy that our “inner child” thang exists and I’m always aware of mine. I’m okay with it.
When I was twelve:
I thought poop was funny.
I ate hotdogs covered in macaroni+cheeze.
I believed in God.
I wanted to kiss boys a lot.
And girls.
I wished I looked like SammyJo from Dynasty (Heather Locklear).
I liked Iron Maiden.
I played soccer.
I smoked.
I hid bad secrets about predatory adults.
I loved ballet class.
I loved poetry and reading.
I liked wearing lots of makeup.
I thought armpit farts were hysterical.
I liked The Muppet Show.
I hated camping.
I got a lot of scrapes+cuts.
I had constant stomachaches.
I told my mommyji and daddyji I loved them daily.
I loved perfume.
I liked learning Francais.
I couldn’t understand “war” or “hostage taking”.
I was The Class Clown.
I wanted to be EddieMurphy.
I wore Levi’s jeans.
I didn’t make the Champion Cheerleading Team.
I hated horseriding lessons.
I knew the HareKrishna song.
I loved dogs more than people.
I shaved my legs.
I lip-synched in front of the mirror.
I liked chocolate.
I slept very little, every night.
I didn’t like horseradish.
I had “Hello Kitty” hair barettes.
I read “Seventeen” and “Vogue” magazines.
I was cast in school plays.
I excelled at talking.
I liked GrandMasterFlash.
I had more than five pairs of “high heeled” shoes.
I liked my sisters.
I drew a lot and painted pictures.
I had a skateboard.
I hated swimming but had all my lessons.
I loved eating popcorn with my dad every Sunday.
I was a leadfoot driver.
And manymanymanymany other things…..
And, I STILL am, do, and feel ALL of these.
‘Cept hotdogs+cheeze+smoking.
I kept it all. It all stayed with me.
Immature? Perhaps, but these are some of the Fundamentals, the Core Beliefs and AttacHments.
I like em all.
I like being twelve inside.
Don’t you?
It’s what will keep us “seeing the World through the eyes of a child”. And that is integral to our Happy Existence here on this planet. Non?
Have tHe heart of a child.
But with all the “wisdom” you have from your experiences. Hopefully, right? LOL!
And I hope you all have a Blessed, wonderful week. I hope that for you AND the child-version of you. Your Inner Child needs your attention.
Nurture yourself- your truest self.
The whole week will fall into place.
Pinky swear.
Om Nama Shivaya.
Big love and big fun and big HareKrishna Energy,
Biffy
Xoxo

when I was 12 it was 1966. i had been addicted to drugs a year by then – speed / downers / acid / pot – but NO ALCOHOL! i swore i would never be drunks like my parents! by 13 i was drunk a lot.
mom and dad didn’t make it out sober and it makes me a bit sad. me, i got my head back in 1986. no drugs – no booze – 23 years now. i have my scars and my body lets me know every day what i did to it. but for some reason, i still wake up – i still go to work – i still listen to music and i still like what i hear. i like that i can hear at all! one thing has changed – i eat a banana a day.
thanks Bif.

I was a lot like that when I was 12 too! Except I was a total tomboy and I hated makeup. I only wore T-shirts and jeans. I ate a lot of junkfood but I was always skinny cuz I also got lots of tummyaches. I should have eaten more veggies.
I used to make comic books, and I still have the first comic book I ever made! :)
I also used to listen to your music, and lipsync to it in the mirror <3
I got your album "I Bificus" for Christmas and I still have it in perfect condition. It was my favorite CD when I was 12. :D :D :D

haha I too am still 12; or so :p.
but “hated horseriding lessons”!?!? Sacre bleu!!
I *loved* my riding lessons (even though I fell off a lot! ;) )
Growing up is over-rated anyway :p.
p.s. I still love my riding lessons and they are now much more complicated! ;)

I love this blog.
I dunno, I’ve never felt older than 13.
And I hope that I never do either.
There’s plenty of time to grow up while you’re dead so why waste your youth while your alive?

I did most of that. Even the driving part. Growing up on a farm was great. Laying on my back in the mature fields, no sound but the wind, the golden stalks waving at a clear blue sky. 12 was pretty good there.

Are you kidding?? I’m 23 years old–I still do half that stuff! Especially lip-sync in front of the mirror! XD
I hated being 12, however. It wasn’t exactly the highlight of my childhood. No worries, nothing extremely bad happened…just nothing good happened either.
I do think everybody should be a bit childish inside, otherwise life would just not be any fun anymore.

12, yeah me too, helps me connect with my daughter (13) who is awesome.
12:
– Scooby Doo
- Laugh Olympics
- Fussing on rainy days when Dad smoked in the car
- Playing cards with my parents
- Yahtzee with my Parents
- Grandma telling me stories of her beating up Grandpa using – Karate
- Grandma growing pot in her basement (instant street cred for me)
- Dad bringing me Hardy Boys Books when I was sick
- Flat Ginger Ale and Crakers
- Spaghettios with meatballs (wouldn’t even think of those now, LOL!)
- Wanting to kiss girls a lot, but alas! :)
- Lost in Space reruns
- M.A.S.H.
- Skateboarding
- BMX Bikes
- Banana seat Bikes
- Playing guitar until my fingers were bruised
- Mowing the lawn
- Summers spent at the creek
- Knowing I was going to be the next Jaques Cousteau
- Knowing I was going to be an Astronaut
- Knowing I was actually meant to have been born a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…. That’s probably still pretty much true.
Yeah, I agree, we need to be true to who we really are. We have tremendous power to change our circumstances through the choices we make, but there is that core bit, that person we were, are, that we sometimes loose track of. We should be more than just acquaintances with that person, we should be best friends. Make it happen! :)

I’ve always said that I’m stuck on 17 – and perfectly happy with that. :P Love blogs like this one Biffy, it’s all about the mental attitude and your tweets help me to remember that everyday. :D

Well to tell you the truth, I think I am holding onto excitements from multiple ages:
I still get excited when:
- visiting with friends that have known me since pre-school!!
- opening a new cd and studying every single part of all the liner notes
- finding anything in a coat pocket that I haven’t worn in awhile – latest find, bubble gum lip gloss!!!
- chewing grape bubblicious gum
- I see the roadsign for my hometown
- I get to go skating
- the moments when the lights go dim and before a band takes the stage
- eating puffed wheat squares!!!
- going on roadtrips!!!
Hang onto what makes you happy and excited inside!!!!
