    Oh Sh** Prompts

    By Valkyrie

    We've all had moments where all we can do is say "oh, sh**" and then either brace for the inevitable or stare in disbelief as the inevitable cockily saunters past.  For example, I was driving home from work one day and was sitting in my car at a red light.  There was one car ahead of me.  The light turned green, and the car ahead of me proceeded through the intersection.  For some reason, I didn't go right away.  I hesitated and allowed a good couple of car lengths between us before proceeding.

Life bursting forth from my fingertips.

"I think we should stick to being friends," he said, his brow furrowed with fake concern, and with what little control I could get about me I smiled weakly at him, showing the fatigue in my eyes. "I'm sorry," he followed, "I hope this is okay?"   "I understand completely, and it's fine," I said, although I didn't understand, and I certainly didn't feel fine. All I wanted was for him to leave my apartment, but I still had to see him twice weekly, so I had to save face for just a little longer

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

He's gone

My roommate of the last four months left for home yesterday, deciding after being away for 15 years the snowy winters of Upstate New York are better than the ice storms in Dallas. I will and won’t miss him. It’s kind of hard living with someone who has to be right, all the time. Yet the sandwiches he smuggled into the shelter every now and then were very much appreciated.   He is the kind of guy who having earphones for his television will listen to the same appliance without the earphones at

My work is my life

During the last 4 months, I participated in the life of GA with 10 blogs, 6 of them dealing with death problems. It's horrible ! Fortunately, the last blog dealt mainly with the future.   Today, I forget the past and also the long term future. I only care what will happen in the next weeks. In exactly one week, next Friday, this will be my birthday. I do not know what my wife and my children are planning to prepare. I dont like too large family celebrations but I'll let them do what they wa

Update on Back

I spent yesterday in the hospital. Again. I went in about 10:30, got out about 2. Not to bad.   But, the nurse who was assigned to me...couldn't feed the damn pain killer into me without bursting my vein. Pretty much, shoved the IV from where it was in my vein to sitting on the muscle...after poking another hole into it.   So I have a nice big bruise and I'm still sore like you wouldn't believe. Me and my vicodin are once more having an affair.   Tomorrow, nice bright and early, I get to

Wow, Alex is ONE! etc...

Hey all,   THANK GOD THAT IT'S SUMMER NOW! I'm doing another co-op as well, since my major requires few co-ops in order to graduate. MORE $$!! Final exams were alright, and did well on them, so that's good. I've been busy and was pretty stressed at times past few months, but now, I can relax at times. April was a really tough month of the all, and this put little bit of stress on me.   April...April 11th marked three years since my friend and a classmate were killed in a worst car

So, remember all that back pain?

Yeah, the back pain that takes me out every so often more and more lately?Well, I finally found out what is causing it! Let me give you some history first, since I don't think I've ever gone over that here.   June/July 2010: My back starts to SCREAM at me. Ice pack, heating pad and some major pain killers don't work. At all. Call the ambulance, go to the nice ER and sit in a chair for somewhere near 7 hours and get a nice pain pill.   August 2010: Once more, my back is screaming at me and I

Exercise Insanity

okay, for the month of May (which ended today):     29 Runs for 191 miles (6.58/miles average) 46 Gym workouts, with 13 of those being primarily Spartacus workouts 5 Rollerbladings for 56 miles 8 Outdoor Bike Rides for 128 miles   88 total Workouts/Activities   It's a little shocking to add it all up (and that doesn't include mowing the lawn or other household/yard stuff). I'm not sure what to think about it. whether it's good or bad, whether I can maintain the pace, or actually add

Tired of Everything

I've come to the conclusion that the universe/great spirit/God/ the Source... hates me.   Yesterday I spend most of the day recovering from a hack attack. I've never been so frustrated in all my life... well until today... more of that later.   My virus protection was removed from my computer and all my accounts, except, apparently my GA account (maybe they're homophobic and that suits me fine right now) have been hacked, the passwords changed and everything has gone to hell. Fortunately I d

A little Review of "Midnight in Paris"

I know, it's odd that I watch Woody Allen movies, but even though, I am conservative and this film is very overtly anti-conservative and extremely liberal.   However, I still enjoy it despite the fact for several good reasons:   1. Few movies today have any hint of wit or satire on a level like Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. In essence, he is satirizing what we have come to see in Time Travel genre stories, a desire to live better through the past, while ignoring our future and present. A

Holiday weekend!

Four months from today is the 'Due Date' for the baby - so like 17 weeks or so and my life is over Surprisingly there's been no new baby momma drama - well not since two weeks ago when she called to complain the check the bank sent her was not drawn on a bank in her area so she had to wait 'three whole days' for the check to clear to get her money and would I call the bank to find out why they didn't send a check she could cash. Yeah, um no sorry, not doing that.   Pretty much everything

Being Back Among My College Past

At University of Delaware, there's this tradition that the graduating seniors jump into the water fountains on the last night, before graduation.   It's graduation weekend, and I'm spending my night at Kildare's. After getting a slice at Margherita's on Main Street, I walked back up to my parking space at the Trabant Parking Garage. I was ambling up Delaware, then I decided to walk on the pedestrian bridge at Gore to get to the quad between Ewing, Smith and Kirkbride. There's this water

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Barely an entry

I was trying to come up with some kind of blog entry today as tomorrow is my four month anniversary here at the Salvation Army shelter, but my mind is in a flurry of needless activity and I can't hold a straight thought for any decent period of time.   I did apply for Social Security today. Big step in the life of every American. I'm going in early because, well, with the bipolar messing up my life for probably a lot longer than originally thought, my chances of having any job more than part-t

Computer scans...

So Microsoft finally decided to come out with that "Microsoft Security Essentials" software... I decided to give it a try and see what I could complain about it... lol   I was kind of bitching at my awesome desktop for taking over 36 hours to scan my computer, but then I found out why:       Yeah... Remind me to toss some of that out...

How to imagine the future when you are 82 years old ?

The state of things being what they are, I must first take stock of the present. The experience of my life is a significant asset. I learned that you should always face, never lose heart and that every setback has also good sides.   I experienced a succession of joys, my marriage, the birth of 4 children, the support my wife gave me in the dark moments of my professional life, and also a succession of misfortunes, disease (AIDS) of my daughter and her death, the loss of my fortune as a resul

Life and commentary

Well, I am still single and searching.   The modern gay dating world is large and wide, but I feel like there really is a lack of communication and more hip grinding than actual understanding.   I also have come to the conclusion that I really need some one to balance me off; it's sad to say it, but I really need a more liberal voice in my life   My past few boyfriends have been very similar to me and we usually hit it off, but our relationship sags as time goes on. I need someone to comb

Old Stories and the need to Grow

Some people who follow my stories may notice that three of my stories are no longer available. The stories "Eternity", "Secret Admirer Revealed", and "Eternal Christmas", have been unpublished at this time. They will be back up eventually, but right now there is no timetable as that project is being done in the midst of all my other projects. The reason for their temporary removal is very simply. In going through some of my older stories, I cringe when I read them. I have grown so much as a

Our biggest problem is pain

I wish I could tell you how much I stll love you, how I still think about you everyday. I wish I could tell you everything I've been keeping inside for so long. I wish I could hold you and feel complete again. ...   But I can't, because it's more than time and distance that seperates us. You're a million miles away and I don't know how to get to where you are. ...   We don't talk like we used to and you never come around these days. You stopped caring a long time ago, and now I see th

Drop By Posting

Just thought I'd drop by and post a bit. Say hi to everyone, etc.   I'm doing well. Enjoying the time of year. I like late spring/early summer. Best weather in my opinion, and my mood is usually best around then too. Nothing in particular is going on, the boyfriend and I are doing well. Work is fine, friends and family are good.   Just a little "hi" I suppose

Getting ready to go

As someone who has fallen by the wayside on too many occasions, I do not expect to participate in the Rapture tomorrow. It’s been kind of nice in this life and I suspect the next few months (years) are going to be very interesting until God actually gets to actively destroying his Creation. I suppose if you’re the Almighty and you get bored total destruction is a whole lot better than making a few adjustments to the whole Damned mess.   Anyway, I have my Rapture suit ready just in case I am ta
