Writer's Block: Untimely Passing
This answer seems to be predicated on the age (or generation) of the person affected. People who are now older liberals seem to be naming John Lennon as the most grievous loss. Younger people are naming those who died when they were young and impressionable- whatever time that age was for them. Thus, someone in their early twenties when Princess Di ( Read more... ) -

Random stuff- with pics!
This week seems to be flying by already. An artic cold front has blown into Georgia making record lows for this time of year. It's been down to 22 degrees- before Thankgiving! I know it doesn't sound like much to my Northern friends, but it's rough on us off-grid savages! I did go to the Sports Academy job interview on Monday. It was very ( Read more... ) -
About Korak
I wrote this summary about myself to explain a bit about my personality and beliefs to my internet friends. I hope that it will clarify things for those who've never met me in person, and for those who have, but didn't get a chance to learn more about my background. I'm leaving this Entry public, unlike most of my more personal posts, and I've ( Read more... ) -
Beyond disgusted
Can I rant a little? Well, I'm gonna anyway- fair warning up front.
I am totally ashamed of and disgusted with the so-called government of America.
When a president dances to the tune of oil interests and big money, and even regardless of his complicity in the 9/11 "new Pearl Harbor," the endless lies he's told the American taxpayers to pull us into ( Read more... ) -

But I get pretty miffed when I catch derogatory references to certain activities -things I like or feel are worthy- in popular media, particularly television. It's such a powerful tool, and I really doubt people who regularly watch TV realize just how much it affects them. You have to either ( Read more... ) -
Brief Notes on the Storm and the Aftermath
For those not able to see my Friends-Only posts, yes, I am still alive and well. Despite all of Mother Nature's fury.
The storms that hit my area of Georgia on Mother's Day were terrible. Many large and beautiful old trees were smashed and the whole Macon area is under a state of emergency. My uncle's other house (not on my large property) lost ( Read more... ) -
Briefly...
Since my last Entry, I've been rather ill. I stayed in bed most of the weekend and I'm still sleeping long hours. It's been like a kidney infection combined with severe back strain and a bad congested cold. I had 101 fever at one point. (That's like 102 for me, since my average is a whole degree lower than 98.6!) When I recovered enough to get ( Read more... )
