My own thoughts part 2
The truth of the matter.
Appearance may be reflection of your mood, but attitude is a reflection of self.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
Attitude isn't simply a state of mind, its a reflection of self and what we as an individual value. Its more than just saying "I can", it's believing you can.
It requires believing before seeing, because seeing is based on circumstances, believeing is based on faith which in turn is based on ideas. And ideas are what the future is made of.
Attitude is contagious, especially when we allow it to turn our doubts of the past into passions of today and set the stage for out tomorrows.
We have total ownership of our attitude. No one else can ever gain the power to alter our attitudes without our permission. Our attitde allows us to become more empowering than money, to rise above our failures and accept others for who they are and what they say. It is more important than "giftedness" and is the fore-runner of all skills needed for happiness and success.
Our attitudes can be used to build us up or put us down . . . the choice is yours.
It also gives us the wisdom to know, that we cannot change events of the past.
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to ME, 15% what happens to others and 75% how I react to it, because nothing we do is predestined, there are many different possible futures and we are constantly choosing ones that will lead us to the ultimate end.
And it is with this state of mind that I remain in charge of not only MY life, but of my attitude aswell.

My on thoughts part one.
Coz you don't know me
And i don't know you
So don't approach me
And i won't approach you
Don't insult me
I won't insult you
Coz you don't know what i will or i won't do . . .
Okay there blogzombies, THIS is an attempt to stop the emails from you nosey lil best0rds wanting to know MORE about ME. i mean sure i know im amazing and all, but THIS is your only chance to know the truth of that which is I. enjoy. and NO MORE damn emails asking me about ME!
Hi, my names Dino A Calteaux, the spideR and DAC b'Nimble and I'm a wizard . . .
okay okay, i know that sounds rediculous but it's true. Chances are, that you're a wizard too.
First let me ask a simple rhetorical question . . . "What IS a wizard?"
A wizard is a mage, a wonder maker, a person who injects a jolt of the marvelous into the everyday. there are wizards everywhere, though these days they've traded in their magic shops and spellbooks for libraries and story books. Todays wizards wield paintbrushes or pens or typewriters or Even computers instead of wands.
Some may have LONG WHITE BEARDS, but most do not. Todays wizards come in all ages, all genders, all colors and shapes. They are the authors and artist's who work with stories of the fantastic. What they have is a vision to share with others. They enable us to see a little further, to see a little deeper.
It is NO simple gift.
Some people, recognising the power of these everyday mages, try to limit the magic. They try to keep the magic out of their lives. So they rail against the malicious influence of certain emotion brought upon by the magic of movement and literature. They denigrate it, remove it from their libraries and their lives. In other words . . . they Ban it.
The events, twists and turns that have taken place in my life could all be labled "escapalist literature". But "fantasy" is rarely as much of an escape as its detractor would have us believe. In fact, in a life, like mine for example . . . We learn many things, including the importance of keeping our sense of wonder.
Most importantly . . . these events can open us up to the pleasure and delight of the imagination.
Mage, image, imagination.
THAT is magic enough for any wizard.
Many times before, Ive taken pen in hand to record my feelings and the everyday events of my life. At the age of 7 creating my own modification of the diary concept; writing only in codes that were painstakingly memorised. To this day i continue with the tradition of writing my life and feelings, and sometimes . . Just sometimes, i share it with the world.
Now ive learned that ones life is continually changing, thins that once seemed necessary and a basic part of life, have little meaning today. Some changes are sudden. Others are slow. All, it seems . . are painful.
15 years . . . it doesn't really feel like a long time, and yet . . the young boy who first wrote that first coded diary entry seems a stranger to me now. My fantasy world has fallen down around me, to reveal a universe of wonder at the centre of a more real, scary, world.
I realise that there are many things I have yet to face . . .
Mostly about myself. Accepting them would be a challenge. Im still getting over the fact that i am not immune to the effects of change.
My life is a fairytale, but fairy tales all too oftencrumble into reality, leaving the naive disbeliever devastated.
Maybe i dont believe in Santa Claus anymore, but i am no longer dissapointed when i don't find a ton of goodies under the tree. I can truly enjoy the 2 or 3 gifts that are in my life everyday of the year.
And i don't know you
So don't approach me
And i won't approach you
Don't insult me
I won't insult you
Coz you don't know what i will or i won't do . . .

Smile [a dedicated post]
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile
through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just
Smile
and that was the smile song folks, dedicated to one person in particular but seroiously . . . how many rocket scientists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? well it depends on how short they are. that wasnt an attempt at humor.
Ladies and gents of the press it has come to my awareness as of recent that an awful amount of "down in the dumps" has been going around, and truth be told, its starting to get at me. as the Dino of Dino's, Clown of Clown's, humor king of humor king's, the upside downer of frowns, the self proclaimed fingerlicking stair falling laughter master of the pre planned accident, king of the stupid question . . . just wanted to brag, anyways, wat i was going to say is there comes a point when you realise that with all this negativity coming and going there really isnt any room for a carefree take life by the nosehairs kinda person to breath. cheering everyone else up has left me drained, but like that advertisement says i will "soldier on".
because there really isnt a dino for me, well none that are constant, im guna cheer myself up the only way i know works best, im guna sing the doom song.
anyways, im feeling a lil better, talking about ones problems are usually the best way to help you get through them, and know theres ALWAYS at least one person who loves you unconditional. well ONE who isnt family, then theres like three or 4 that just really admire and like you, 10 who consider you there best friends and 20 who are only pretending to be your friend. the worlds a very mathematical place, this one time i opend a pack of mint tic tacs and found an orange one inside. i namedit Ron. He melted. that didnt help prove watevre point i was trying to make but sharing is caring.
that said, i leave you lucky readers with this endnote,
those who do not look will never find, this much is true for all things save but for a few exceptions, happiness, love, and the perfect chicken sandwhich (you know, not too much or too little mayo, enuff chicken to fill you up but not fall out etc etc). These last three tend to lose themselves even more when one goes in search of it, so it is often better to let it come find you instead.
well anyways, im off now. was hoping by the time i got thru this someone would be on msn bt guess no luck for D. so this is Dino the spideR saying :
Till the clouds get sunburnt, spideR out.
