A First Picture

Blogging Friends.... Robert Downey Jr. was once quoted as saying--during film production of "Sherlock Holmes"--"Go for broke and exempt all clichés if possible.". Ah, eccentrics!! You have got to love them!! Apparently, I do!! If Robert Downey Jr.--and Johnny Depp for that matter!!--are any proof of this, eccentrics not only act, dress, or speak oddly, they dare to be different!! Almost fearlessly!! Who'd have guessed that, as I've struggled mightily for years with being different, learning disabled, weird, and somewhat crazy, a world-known eccentric like Robert Downey Jr. would somehow encourage the message of "it is okay to be unique, so long as you are real"? Not me.... Why is it, exactly, does society think of "weird" as negative, anyway? Robert Downey Jr. seemingly embraces it!! "Go for broke and exempt all clichés if possible.". What I love about that quote is the very fact that it could be my life motto!! I should have spoken those words!! See, I've never done things quite like everyone else. After all, I was a female "cranio baby", remember? And, my Blog, Beautifully Unique is not exempt. While most Web sites contain pictures--and I enjoy them!!--mine never has. Because I am no photographer. I'm a writer!! I have considered posting photographs, and making Beautifully Unique just like everybody else's Blogs. Especially during its early days. But, then I came to truly love my picture-less Blog!! Because it is different. However, for the time being, as I continue to work hard on my "Secretive Writing Project", I shall post photographs. Enjoy!!

This is a first picture of Rose. Just look at those colossal brown "Beagle" eyes that I love so much!! They still seemed very sad and insecure. As though her eyes alone questioned: Are you my Mama? Is this where I will spend forever? Am I going to feel happy here....?
