FEROCIOUS FRENZIED~~~PASSION!!!

In light of the recent, somewhat bizarre, occurence of the Merc The Berzerk lovefest on the forum I realized Merc actually had a few
things to say........about that now infamous hat.

Berserker Warrior ~ ~ ~

"The most feared Viking warrior was called berserker or berserk.
Some believe they were frenzied madmen. Others think they were
*normal* people who became wild and *passionately fearless*
after eating certain mushrooms or other foods that contained drugs."

Well in my case I became *wildly passionate* about the creation of
this dang hat without the use of any a those funny mushrooms or any other type of mind altering(not Alti)drug. The key word here is PASSION....

PASSIONATELY FEARLESS!!!!!!!....this is what my hat's all about.

Do you ever get those..sometimes whisphers inside..that scream out
"YOU MUST!!!!". I get 'em all the time...and no they're not *little
voices*. Ever since I was a little girl I've had the ability to
listen to the internal rumbles of my passion. Whether they're
small or they're all encompassing....each nudge wants to be
listened to no matter how big or how small....Each is important.
You never know where that *silly* little inkling of a desire will
lead you. I've had the smallest of tugs lead to major life changes.

NOTHING that truly SPARKS you should be denied....just one of my
rules to live by.....DO NOT BE AFRAID TO FOLLOW YOUR SPARK!!!!!
YOUR PASSION!!!!...BE FEARLESS!!!!!

Of all the lines Lucy and Renee have delivered throughout the years
two stand out:

Xena in OAAA - "There are always choices."
and in Forgiven - "You are what you do. You can re-create yourself
every second of your life."

These lines brought to life for me the power I really do hold to
live my life ferociously fearless when it comes to trusting those
nudges...however big or small...to follow my passion. It always
has led me to a deeper understanding of who I am....

Ooookaaayyy..I feel my closest buds chompin' at the bit.
"A deeper understandin' of who you are??!!?!!.....why you're
friggin' BERZERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"....*VBG

Yep...and I love my hat with alllllll my heart!!!!!!!!
