Well on Saturday I turn the big 4 0. I've tried to tell myself so much over the last few months that it is just a number, but... I see that if I beat the life averages just a little then my life is now half over. My life as I know it has seen so out of my control for so long I wonder if I will ever resume ownership again. I'm in a funk. ( Read more... )

I've been heavily contemplating the last few days especially since I had sugery the day after the election. It's really neat to see the US with a "black" president. When you break it down to a very mundane level it means that a good portion of our predjudice has faded. I never thought that this would be a thing I would see in my lifetime. I've ( Read more... )

Last night we met at my Mom-n-laws for the annual trick or treat fest. We were fortunate to be joined by many friends for the trek around the small neighborhood filled with candy giving hands. My little girly was Tinkerbell and was done up to a tee thanx to Mommy. My son was a werewolf, but quickly found that big hands and a cumbersome mask was ( Read more... )

We've watched Wipeout on ABC for the past 3 weeks. It is THE funniest thing out there right now. It basically has contestants, some of which may be from Jerry Springer's show, competing through obstacles that make them wipeout in every funny way possible. I can't help but laugh out loud when I watch this show and damn do I need that right now.

You know, it seems my whole life I've been one check, one raise, or one step away from having things on a level keel. Prosperity is always seeming to hang just around the corner. However, when that corner is finally reached, I seem to always run smack into a bus. I am blessed in my life to have a wonderful wife and kids, and great friends, but I ( Read more... )

Once again it seems that TV has an utter disregard for the pagan faith. I happened to be watching your puff piece on weddings with Kathie Lee and was very offended by her slander of my faith. The replay of what I'm talking about is at http://today.msnbc.msn.com/ ( Read more... )

But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be ( Read more... )

I got a call the other night from a brother of mine. It was a call I was expecting despite his assurances that it was a call I no longer had to worry about. Seems the army has offered him another deal that he can't refuse that will send him back to Baghdad Iraq. I know that he feels it's best for him and his family. This post is purely written ( Read more... )

"If you listen close at night, you will hear the creatures of the dark, all of them sacred -- the owls, the crickets, the frogs, the night birds -- and you will hear beautiful songs, songs you have never heard before. Listen with your heart. Never stop listening."
