nothing important to write about.  so let's be random:

i don't follow the path.  i make my own.  with that said, i took the how will you die quiz.
You scored as Disappear. Your death will be by disappearing, probably a camping trip gone wrong or an evening hike you never returned from. Always remeber that one guy who was hiking alone and got in a rock slide. He could have died, but he cut his own ( Read more... )

dear mr. catfish:

you must think i am a barbarian.  and you're probably right.  i went to the market yesterday and saw your friends and family piled up in a makeshift morgue.  i asked the grim reeper for some catfish and i assumed he would fill my order with one of your compadres from the morgue.  i knew i was wrong when i saw him pick up the net ( Read more... )

disclaimer:  by telling my story i am in no way trying to deter anyone from giving blood.  there are so many people who are "more qualified" than myself to give blood, and i encourage you to do so.  i, personally, do not view my story as a "horror" story.

i had my rest, i had my breakfast.  so i got to carter bloodcare at 9:30 saturday morning.  i ( Read more... )

my condolences to all the victims of hurricane katrina.  i cannot imagine what it's like to be there.  numerous reporters and such claim the scene to be that of a third world country.  it was about three days until my boss got word his 82 year old mother who chose to weather the storm was alive.  even if you chose to evacuate, what do you have left ( Read more... )

we are all human.  we laugh, we cry.  we feel love and we feel pain.  mistakes are made and lessons are learned.  we grow, we digress and grow again.  we are young, we are old, children and elders.  we are anything and everything, but for one thing:  we are not immortal.

sooner or later, we all get to a point where we realize we don't really know anything at all.  you come off a high in your early to mid twenties that you jumped on when you were in your very late teens when you knew everything in the world.  you've been to hell and back one too many times with the ups and downs of adolecence, so now almost anything ( Read more... )
