accepting applications

for a rich husband. seriously. you can email your application and resume to moxie.sky@gmail.com



no, not seriously. what kind of person do you think I am?
I just want to never have to work again. but then again, maybe I'd miss it. haha, totally kidding. I wouldn't miss it. If I didn't have to work, my days would be filled with gardening, cooking, riding my horses, writing, practicing my Craft, and making things, like oils, soaps, and incenses. I would probably start a scrapbook, and I would never have to stress about having a messy house, because I would always have time to keep up with cleaning and laundry. And in addition to all that, I would have time to continue to discover. But instead of doing all these wonderful things, I do the following:

Sleep.
Feed horses.
Work.
Teach riding lessons.
Clean stalls.
Feed horses.
Sleep.
Repeat.

keep in mind that I do also do things like, eat, shower, and smoke plenty of cigarettes.
And I make sure to listen to music throughout as much of the day as I possibly can - even at work, where if I'm caught doing it, I could lose my job. But music is important enough to me - to my sanity and soul health - that I'd risk my job for it. Even now as I type, at almost midnight, as I lay in my bed in the dark, I'm listening to music. Currently a dubstep remix... But this specific playlist also includes artists like, Natalie Merchant, Beastie Boys, Meiko, SKSK, The Chieftains, Ani DiFranco, Blue Foundation, Royksopp, Say Anything, Enya, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Ashley Macisaac, LEO Imai, Brain Hacker, Miyavi, Alice Nine, and more... I know. It sounds very random, but all the songs are relaxing. The playlist is called "chill" and now the song I'm listening to is called Voice Of The Canyon. I just changed it, because that was totally gonna make me fall asleep. Now I'm listening to the Arabian Dance, by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. You know. From the Nutcracker.

I just got seriously sidetracked by music.

Now to get sidetracked again...

Friesians are big, beautiful, draft horses. They don't finish growing until they are 6-8 years old. Because of this, no matter how big they look when they are 2, you still can't expect to ride them until they are done growing - to put that much extra stress on their body is really hard on them while they are still growing, in fact you are risking some serious problems down the road if you put their bodies through that before they are finished developing. But you know what I had to watch today?

I had to watch someone saddlebreak and ride their 2 year old Friesian. First off, they had a seriously interesting way of teaching them that riding is no biggie. Second, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU RIDE A TWO YEAR OLD FRIESIAN?!?!

moving on.

Now I'm listening to 'Sleep' by Meiko. .... Distraction by music, again.

moving on.

actually, not moving on, because I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open.. Moral of this post?

Don't spend your whole life working to live and living to work. I understand needing to pay the bills. I understand that totally. But.

Don't live your life in a way that you will regret when you're old, and looking back at all the things you could have done. All the things you wanted to do. Do what you want to do, do what makes you happy. That's what is important.

Now I shall sleep.
