It's Not Really Me by Blythe Dunwood Pdf
Walking barefoot makes me feel the ground, and preferably on a mix of yellow and white stones in my backyard. Windy days without the sun and big white puffy clouds make me smile. I love to crochet blankets, and usually choose multicolored yarns of cotton and silk blends, creating my own unique designs. My decorative senses are aroused watching runway fashion shows as I take in the flow of the dresses, along with the unique couture designs that are displayed. I also find myself thrilled watching gymnasts on the unparallel bars and floor competitions as they do multifaceted moves against the mats. I have fun at canine agility matches, watching the dogs move through the obstacle course races. I used to spend a lot of time drawing, and found it very relaxing. When I was first introduced to classical music I thought it was passé, but fell in love with it as I aged, somewhat like a fine wine. Even though I seldom drink wine, my preference continues to be a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau. I have spent many hours listening to Broadway shows, and I have memorized many of the lines from the CD’s. I am truly mesmerized by the incredible performances directly on the Broadway stage. When I was introduced to musicals in the theater on Broadway in Manhattan, it left an indelible impression upon me. The drama and intensity of the performances are truly remarkable. Watching an acrobat at work is also fascinating, even though I have never been able to master the skill myself. Eastern philosophy and yoga interest me, my favorite author being Thich Nhat Hanh. I spent many hours at The Ark bookstore in Santa Fe, New Mexico, enthralled buy one of his books entitled “The Way of Understanding,” and loved his writing style. I never thought I could, or would, ever write a book until now. Seventeen years have passed and I have finally decided to write a book myself. I used to love danger and driving at high speeds in the left hand lane, as well as doing stunt work one time long ago, but more recently came to the realization that it is too risky, despite the fact that it excites me. I enjoy driving, love the road, particularly being outside in the open air in my 4x4 Ford F450 truck. I find it hard to contain myself whenever I take to the streets of Manhattan, and feel the urge to drive like a taxi cab driver. As a kid, and now as well, I take myself right to the edge by going to the park, climbing onto a swing and going as high as I can. Even though I get dizzy and frightened, I feel exhilarated at the same time. I am so very impulsive in thought that I can even imagine the ride on the high swing as I write this bio. Roller coaster rides at Great Adventure were once a true delight for me, but not so much anymore. Now I spend many hours reading articles about psychology, hysteria, self-care articles, all the while practicing mathematics in an effort to sharpen my mind. I am a computer geek at heart, love moving the jumpers in the towers and enjoy setting up networks with encryptions for fun. My idea of a good time is developing my creativity by painting decorative wooden boxes, displaying them around my home and offering them to others so they can share in my enjoyment. I find learning about myself to be of the utmost importance, and also enjoy learning for the mere purpose of knowledge itself. I’m on an endless quest for self actualization, which guides my search for truth, philosophical retention and metaphysical studies as I try to keep my mind stimulated as often as possible.
