Writing has always been my Passion, and I am sure with not a stain of self-doubt that I was actually born to write! So much so that I recently published a book based upon this blog: [http://www.lulu.com/content/398935|Blook with Bloopers to Cook] It's about writing and creating, editing AND... Publishing! I simply point out the "HOW NOT" rather than "HOW TO" in my approach of the publishing media, for I'd rather not dictate while trying to erradicate errors, but simply bring some principles from having learned a lot in the past few years. My Book has freshly come out of the oven, and like all the others it also comes in high temperature. So, please, be careful, 'cause It's hoT, hOT, HOT!;o)

__R__ight in the middle of a forest,
__I__n the meadow, a lass and a lad
__C__ouldn't restrain; their affection they plead:
__H__os and Has, they just couldn't rest.
"__F__abulous, such a fabulous night!",
__U__rged the lass, so glad.
"__R__ight!" said, unimpressed the lad.
__Y__et his eyebrows quirked tight.
__W__ith caress, on the grass, they lied.
"__O__h, such a fur... bull... a wolf!!," she said.
"__R__eally, there's no wolf, but a lad!"
__E__nervated, in fury(!) he replied.

Celebrating Life... Dancing As One!
Famous were my Teens&Twenties, when I used to appear in many magazines and on TV and even on Cinema! And even though some people on the "buzy-ness" said I was fat(?) and short, I had made a dozen TV commercials and had appeared in too many magazines and TV programmes already to care about what others would think. Like the comedian/actor (and friend(:mrgreen:)) Jon Lovitz once said, "Here's what I've learned. Whenever they tell you you are too short, tall , fat, thin, young, old, etc. Well, it means you don't fit into a specific character type. WHICH IS GOOD! The one phrase they are leaving out is UNIQUE!!! You are obviously unique, which will make you stand out and have a career in the long run." And although now I'm just another raindrop on this vast ocean of publications, so misty and hard to navigate, and where a GPS is so in need, so virtually impossible to anchor, I won't give up. And as a Ballet teacher once said to another colleague of mine about her complaint of a difficult step that required balance, "Nothing is impossible for a Ballet dancer." Maybe that's when I really decided to become a ballerina, if nothing is impossible for them...

Just Be The Letter B!
The letter B is Beautiful!! How many words that starts with B are just such a Blessing: Beach, Birth, Ball, Bis, Brazil... Maybe because to pronounce it we need two opposed forces, the higher and lower lips touching each other. Or is it the sound of it that reminds us of a Bee, a Busy Bug, or a Blowing Bubble? I got a friend who recently told me by looking at one of my photos where I impersonated a hula dancer, "I like your Bump!" A Blinding Bidding that Burned Bravely my Blood Blushing me, But that also Bashed my Body, Bit By Bit, By Breaking in so Briefly, Blanching and Banishing unto my Bones. It Bounded me from Bright Blue to Bleach Boo, Bro... Blah! I thought to myself, "What did he imply by that??" Was it a compliment or a way of saying, "you are a little chubby, just for the record?" For the Bump could mean one of the three (or altogether) B-options or Biopsies: Belly, Butt, Boobs (or Brests:o) A Boost in various medias, and a Boom so aBundantly displayed on Movies and Music Videos nowadays. But it could also mean the Bump I have on my Brain, that makes me analize things, usually in an unusual way. For they are all Bountiful, Big and Brilliant, not as a tumour, but more like a Bombon Bit (or Bite, or Beef!;o). But with a B-shape you can also have a Book in your hands, or a Bambino, a Baby (which someday I will hope to accomplish that too;o)
Naturally, I'm no BB as in Brigitte Bardot, but a BBB: Bold Blond Blend, more like a Ballerina in Bain-marie without her Ballet shoes, barely boasting with her often Blurbs and Ballyhooes... B-sides, Being Bearably Bounced Brings a Brazilian Bragger Bunny to Bell the cat, Bill the Bet and Blow off (Not as a Bimbo, But Better than a Bombshell!;o) I Beg you, then, to play a Banjo, dance a mambo (or try a Tango), Bang the Bongo, Bonk the Mango, dump the Dumbo, jingle the Bungle, or jump the mumbo jumbo. But, by all means, don't Bump a lump or a Blimp. Beat the Bearings or B-ring the Belle! But if your Brewing Belly causes your Beard to Buzz, By all means, take the Beer Bus. Have a Blast... and B-well!
P.S. Funny enough, I just found out that a B movie is on production, I mean the movie title is "Bee Movie" out to be released next year, about a buzy bee, Barry B. Benson, an animated character played by Mr. Seinfeld. I can't wait to watch that one!! Awesome... oh I mean... Blossomed!!
