I'm the owner and operator of a very crowded and overactive noggin... My mind fleets from one
subject to the next so quickly that I can barely capture notes on the enlightening and earth shattering thoughts I have...I'm the youngest of three kids and the only girl, which as it turns out - creates a really special kind of noggin damage...
I live in a small-ish town, which also happens to be the Home of Superman... In many ways I'm like other chicks, ladies, gals and such - leaving the decade of "my 30's" and entering the decade of "my 40's"; I love to garden and drink java and go to yard sales and flea markets and ride vintage bicycles and such... but in other ways I'm unlike anyone ... at times things connect within my noggin in ways that I don't even understand...
*More here on Metropolis, Home of Superman - It will open in a new window on one of my other sites)
After a divorce, I spent many years well on my way to becoming a bitter, dried up old sea hag who lived alone in a house full of cats - Don't get me wrong, I spent a phenomenal amount of time writing, photographing and creating art work; but I didn't actively go out looking to find someone to fill a void that I had thoroughly taught myself did not need filled - and then I met Evan... Evan and I met through a friend and immediately connected... He understands ... sometimes even enjoys my weirdness and eccentricities... as I do his.. and he's an amazing cook, which just HAD to be divine intervention...
I have a lot of goals with this blog and other areas of my online presence... Foremost of which is to share things that fly about in my noggin. I want to save the world from ignorant and closed minded people... I want to encourage parents to stop raising entitled little pansies who expect to get a trophy just for participating... I want to teach people how to be brutally honest with themselves and laugh while doing it and I want to share with you the thoughts and topics that ramble around in the Nucleus of my Noggin ...

::On This Day::
You'll find my photography at KCoJax Candids
KCoJax Local Flavor is a project that began to develop one day as I was sitting at my desk and googled a nationally known local landmark only to find that they were using my photographs on their website...
Rather than become angry and try to get the photos taken down, I simply realized that I had one
more creative project that I was extremely excited to launch...
All merchandise in KCoJax Local Flavor is created using my own photos ... taken by myself during my adventures in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and more...
Flawn Ocho is my outlet for the photographs, doodles, art and such that I create... There you'll find the Peace Sun, Javarific, the Choo-Choo Collection and More!
In addition to my own projects, my online work also includes handling the behind the scenes work on my Mom's blog, LoveHomeandHealth.com (formerly and sometimes STILL Bird's Eye View of the Katydid)
