Lessons for life from a tale of a Haiku


A blogger that I've always found intriguing Princess Haiku tagged me for an interesting meme.

The meme was just for kicks, the rules were to list five to ten courses or lessons you would take to help improve your life then continue the meme by tagging 5 of your blog friends (or as many as you know if you don't know 5) to do the same and involve a blog friend that you would like to take along with you for one of the courses.

I've never done a meme before myself but there's a first time for everything so here it goes. . .


First off, I would take the lessons for becoming a better guitar performer, so far for a beginner I've learned a lot for teaching myself but however I'm still lacking in talent. I know talent comes over time but without the help of others and knowing better it's more difficult for the talent to come naturally while the time goes by. But I also want to learn other instruments as well other than just the guitar. During most times in my life I revolve around the sound of music and have always wanted to be able to play certain songs on instruments but everything takes time so I have to wait it out and play more and more while I watch the time fly by.


Second, I would take the lessons of learning the art of drawing. Honestly one of my most deepest desires in my life even more than playing guitar is to be able to draw. Drawing opens the mind to a new portal of photographic memory and enhances your creativity beyond what you've known.


Third would be my life long dream to learn the hardest language, Japanese. I love Japanese culture and hope some day I will happen to live in Japan. But not only does learning another language and living in another country assimilate you more culturally but it transforms your way of everyday thinking. I'd definitely take Princess Haiku with me for this class, knowing she's so culturally integrated I know she'd absolutely love it. :D


My fourth course would be to take creative writing, even though I write a lot I would love to take a creative writing course and be able to read and write more artistically. :D


Fifth, I would take piloting lessons to fly, I know I'm becoming a jet mechanic but knowing how to build planes and knowing to fly them are two completely different things.


I love insects absolutely love insects not the bad kind though like mosquitoes and roaches but almost every insect I love so my sixth course would be to take Entomology.


Seventh would be sky diving lessons, I'm not afraid of heights and would love to know the feeling of flying falling down with gravity, I can only imagine how that would feel. That would be such a rush and an experience.


Last but not least would be to take a Meteorology course, I love everything there is about weather. Whether it's sunsets, winds, clouds and most importantly thunderstorms, I cannot get enough of thunderstorms, of course I take shelter during a thunderstorm but I'll stand outside as the lightning is striking outside that's how much I love thunderstorms. As for tornadoes and hurricanes, I would love to see one and the power they have but I would not want to be in ones path and deal with the destruction and loss of lives, no thanks.


I don't know who likes to do memes so here's a few that I know that love to learn.

When a light burns out you have to light a candle only for the candle to go out later.

Keep the candles lit if you will. . . .

Sigh, I just lost a long comment I was trying to arrange. My ending ended up in the middle section and there was more to go. Isn't it always that way?

Hey Mystic,
It is a lot isn't it? I love learning new things and learning the guitar is definitely my first priority to mastering, I just know it's going to take a lot of focusing, practice, patience, and most importantly time.

I had a feeling you didn't like to do memes but thanks for doing it for me, I appreciate it a lot. :D

Take care

Howdy Haiku,
lol what happened? Well... if you can you rememeber what you wrote and rewrite it I'd love to read it, you've made me all ancy in wanting to know what you wrote to me before you lost it. LOL! Yeah it is always that way isn't it. :D


Later Haiku

Oh! I'm so glad you're back up and on screen, what happened? And how cool is this? I should've been able to guess that you'd wanna fly, to free fall, to catch it all midstream.....and then plunk it out on guitar strings....A beautiful post my friend, and I'm honored. Really, really terrible at following a time line, so don't be surprised if it takes a while, but I accept your offer and thank you!
