The Return of the Syren

Goodness gracious! I had been away for quite some time from my blogging.

I was thinking last night how my life has been chronicled on the internet although mainly via MySpace in it's glory days... all those posts are now gone.

I was also talking to a good friend of mine about how I used to tell all online. Since those days the word discretion has been beat into my consciousness and I ultimately adopted the idea that it truly is nobody's business what I do and how I live my life.

Today, I had a reminder that this has nothing to do with business and all to do with inspiration and motivation. The sharing of ideas and concepts is a very important aspect to growth in all of our personal lives, and so, here I am, back to my blog.

Since my last posts, obviously, much has happened. So much, in fact, and so dramatic, that I could entertain you for moths if not years to come... in fact, it has been years - so of course I have enough to fill that time span.

Here's a few highlights:
- I fell in love in 2012, love at first sight type of thing and got married in 2013
- We had a friend live with us and relapse with his drug use
- We had a friend live with us with her boyfriend who accused her of trying to kill him.
- I won an award for best of Anaheim in Wedding Photography
- We bought a house in San Diego! A half acre lot... it's rural, it's paradise
- We were gifted an Avion trailer
- I released another album
- Now have 3 dogs and 2 cats
- We've lost two cats thus far to the wild life out here
- I performed in San Diego and they loved us
- Almost died and got my gallbladder removed
- My polyamorous nature got tested!
- Saved a friend from shooting himself by rear naked choke holding him
- I lost weight!
- I officiated my first wedding and it was same sex!- Tried helping friends and they over stayed their welcome causing drama when I asked them to leave
- I got a job at a Tribal Government Office.
- I became obsessed with dolls, repainting, collecting, and yes, playing with them

I have already posted notes from my Facebook to fill in gaps, and I am thinking it is time to enter my journal entries here on the web for all to see... although there are so many journals.

In any case, now I have more posts, and will continue to update the blog.

BFC Ink Doll Collection Complete!!

Well, if it isn't obvious, I got into doll collection, but I suppose I always was a doll collector, just not really by choice as my mom would buy me a porcelain doll every year for my birthday until I moved away for college, but even then I still got porcelain dolls as gifts from her and other members of my family. Over the years of course I have collected dolls from the 80's like the Kimberly doll by Tommy, and of course Barbie... then I got into repainting Bratz dolls the past couple of years and added Monster High to the list of dolls to look for at flea markets etc... But one day, by chance I came across the now out of production MGA Entertainment 18" BFC Ink (Best Friends Club Ink) dolls. These dolls are way cuter, in my opinion, than American Girl Dolls (which I really do not like at all actually) or Journey Girls etc... They have a hard body all the way and were made in two types. The first productions were just all vinyl bodies, much like the Wellie W...

So in my anticipation I have been day dreaming and planning, coming up with ideas like this: There are several concrete pads and they are so plain, so maybe something like this method w...

Revisiting the name "Syren"

From time to time I contemplate this name. It is a name I particularly love to see in written form and I actually love the sound of it when spoken. But what does it mean? It is a made up word or name that simply appeals to me. Syren makes me think of serene... It makes me think of the sea. Some people pronounce it see ren... others sigh ren... It was half chosen and half given. I've said this many times before. (recap) When I'd audition for singing roles, the panel would always do a double take, and onlookers would be in awe of my singing... Mainly because they didn't know what to expect until they heard it. Because of this the name was given to me. But the name Syren is derived of: siren- –noun 1. Classical Mythology . one of several sea nymphs, part woman and part bird, who lure mariners to destruction by their seductive singing. 2. a seductively beautiful or charming woman, especially one who...
