Weekly Photo Challenge: From Above – MY WORLD

A random look from up above on my deck

I know this looks like a pool, but it’s the ocean!

But this is the view into my world from the deck!

 

“From Above. Change your perspective on something. Share a photo of a subject which you shot from directly above.”

This is a view into mine own own world – my home from up above as high as I can get without climbing up the mast. My home is a boat. My boat is called Mi Casa, because it is my home. People name their boats. They name their boats to give it an identity, a meaning. Some seek deep thoughts in their names. I may as well have called my boat The Boat, because in reality calling it Mi Casa is just that. With a touch of the love I have for the Spanish language.

It’s like calling your dawg Deeohgee. Say it out loud: Deeohgee. Funny how it sounds like you’re actually spelling D-O-G because that’s exactly what you’re doing. It’s a in-your-face to the up-nosed-snobbery.

From above.

Don’t snobs look at us from above? Snobs.

Cultural,
literary,
culinary,
artistic,
educational…
snobs bore me.

They lack creativity. They (as in they; I mean most) lack personal voice. They (as in they; I mean most) take what they think is above all. They (as in they; I mean most) borrow quotes from Goethe which nobody understands because it signifies they have read, they have learned. They (as in they; I mean most) name drop like pelican droppings on my boat. On Mi Casa.

Can you hear my voice? Can you hear the cartoons in my mimicking and sarcasm? Do you know the precise moment when I lean to the side while I write so I can… fart? Just a bit? Just a small allowance of air exchange? If we were talking face to face you’d see me do that. You’d know how I just cannot walk and fart. I need to stop to allow a slight opening for the relief to exist … “Aaaaahhhh.” Then you’d see the smile in the corner of my eyes. You’d know I couldn’t blame the smell on Deeohgee not just because I don’t have a dog but because you actually saw me. Heaven forbid you should smell me.

I am Marie and my biggest cultural influences are Bugs Bunny and Wile E Coyote and you would never guess I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Cultural Research and Influence. And how many times have I said and in that sentence?

This is a super splash combo post from two prompts hailing from the über chic peeps at the Daily Post. Firstly there is the photo challenge: FROM ABOVE. Secondly and of course lastly since there was only two from today’s daily prompt: IT’S A TEXT TEXT TEXT WORLD. Yes, I am a mad scientist.
