The Dark what?
Nite? Night? oh you said Knight..Saw the movie. Own it. I was thinking lately about the character in that movie. The Joker. I was watching the role, played by an awesome actor who apparently is no longer with us. I was musing over the face painted on that 'joker'. The red smile which emphasis' the scars.
I was sitting here thinking about how that relates to some things in life. How whether its a job, position or other role we play there are times we must wear our 'painted smile' and present ourselves in a light of 'respectability' for better lack of words. When inside we are aching to say what we REALLY think or feel about something or someone. Society puts this restriction on us and we have to hold back. I had to laugh as perhaps even that role may drive some to the brink of? Makes me wonder what it was like to play that character in the movie. Having to throw ones self into character and act out this raging insanity yet wear the painted smile. Daily life for some?
Many times I want to take my "smile" off and say what I truly think. I want to look at someone and say things like 'are you REALLY that crazy that you cant see 'that' or 'this'? "What in the world were you thinking or not thinking?" You cant fix stupid.....
So many times I have to bite my tongue and just walk away. I ramble the things in my head until there seems no way to get off the merry-go-round. I just finally have to let it go and walk on. Gritting my teeth the whole way.
Have you ever had those situations? Those times esp when it comes to something very close to your heart, your mind, your being that you have to stop and just 'let go'... How do you handle those times?
How do we handle those times when someone does something to a horse that makes you grit your teeth? Makes you stare in disbelief?

RT, I am neither a very good actor, nor a very good poker player just because I can't put on the "painted smile."
I am blessed with several close friends and a patient husband, because I am emotional and need to vent. And, vent, I do!
Especially if it is something related to cruelty to elders, to children, to animals, and especially horses, I vent, and rage, cry and scream, until I find some way to act. Action helps me feel I have taken some control in the situation.
Love all you guys,
Betty

Yeah... Well its been one of those months. Esp. when you have to deal with certain people who's emails go into the "idiots" folder.. Sometimes I think people assume that just because I do what I do that I have to just roll over and let them say or do what they want.
