    Vacation Time!

    By Valkyrie

    I just spent two wonderful weeks in the south of England, seeing everything from the Cerne Giant (Google it if you're not familiar...  )  to Stonehenge at sunset.  I could write an entire story about all the sights and experiences from the trip, but at the moment, will have to settle with two prompts based of actual things I experienced during my adventures.  PT Prompt #217 After travelling for over 24 hours with pretty much no sleep and lots of Dramamine (motion sickness med that make

Tim the nuisance

Sometimes I feel like a nuisance. I guess that's life, but I wonder if I'm just poisonous to people, almost like I can't do anything right at all. It makes me wonder why I even bother, because all I ever seem to do is upset people in one way or another. Maybe I should just give up and not bother trying. I may have reached a point where I cannot afford to care anymore. Even when I have the best of intentions, I end up on someone's shit list. It's entirely depressing, and I sometimes feel as thoug

Why don't I condone drug use?

The title says it all about the message of this blog. Why don't I condone drug use? Because its an escapist route to hide form the problems that are bothering you consciously or subconsciously.   I gave a little story in the soapbox on why I don't do drugs anymore (with the exception of smoking, yes i started again). My reason is that I tried to hide from many issues that I was facing at the time. Whenever I was clubbing, I always had a drink in my hand and it took me not drinking one night at

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

"Home", WA

I can't use Home without quotes because there is a Home, WA, and I don't live there, although I have been there. It's a nice, little community on Key Peninsula. If you're interested, check out the interesting Wiki entry on Home.   I'm home for only two days because, well, I was getting tired out there having to find a lab to have my blood tested. The last place was the county hospital in Rawlins, WY, because they don't have medical clinics. They're probably going to bill me a horrendous amount

A thought....

Have you ever listened to a cd or a radio station where a song comes on and your met with an onslaught of emotions and memories? Well, with me it does, and i'm pretty sure it does with you as well. It doesn't even have to be a certain song, but an album or a genre. With me, to give you one example, I can listen to Hung Up by Madonna and remember back to the first club I went to, Stonewall in Allentown PA, and remember the first guy I kissed there while this song was playing. Another random examp

A small town with a big promise

Today is like most days in Red Bank. It's filled with tourists, locals, and the eye candy. Needless to say, I love it. Red Bank is like most small towns in America, but to me, it's starting to become my second home. Not only do I work here, but it where I come to relax and to shop when the mood strikes me. If you wander down Broad Street, the main stretch, you're greeted by little boutiques, Starbucks, a few pubs and sports bars, and lots of nice little restaurants. At night, there's something

Labor Day Weekend

I'm really glad we've got a long weekend coming up. This past week has been crazy busy, and one of my project managers has been on vacation all week, so I've had to pick up about half of her workload, in addition to my own. To make matters worse, on Wednesday, our whole network went down, and I was stuck at the office until after 9 PM supervising our IT guy as he troubleshooted the issue. We finally figured out that it was a problem with the firewall. It's never pleasant when our network goes do

Election 2008- I've made a decision

I am now solidly in support of Barack Obama. I have no doubt that he is a much better candidate than John McCain, and I know he will be a better leader. All McCain wants to do is promote the same failed policies of George W. Bush. That is not simply unacceptable. It is reprehenisible. George W. Bush is a disgrace to the office of the President of the United States. He should go on trial for treason, and the asshole should be sent to Leavenworth (federal prison) where he belongs. If McCain is goi

Californians

So I saw this the other day, and several of these are actally quite accutate, anyway it was amusing in some ways and horrifying in others... check it out, dude!   I am a "CALIFORNIAN." That means that.........   -Texting while driving is becoming a Major issue...

S.L. Lewis Many Thoughts and Updates

Updates on my stories and future plans

Alright, some quick information on what's going on, what I'm working on and future plans. Let's start with the current and already written stuff first.   The Campers Nightmare: My first horror story! I was so proud of this story and yet...not a single review. Pleanty of reads but no reviews. Makes me feel sad. I have been asked else where and by Beastie if I'm going to continue this story. It's a possiblity. I did leave the ending open so I can continue it if the urge strikes me. For now.

The public restroom.

Okay... so I have a problem... and it is a purely mental problem.   I hate public restrooms. First of all, people go to the bathroom and then they do NOT wash their hands, which is very disgusting, so if you are one of those people WASH YOUR HANDS SICKO! Then, they leave the room, and touch the door handle. Ew. Then when I go into the bathroom and I wash my hands (With soap! Just putting here hands under water for a second does NOT clean your hands, SICKO!) and when I leave the room, I touch

the luckeist girl in AMERICA!

So, I'm sitting here this morning and my Sweetie messages me from his snazzy new cell phone. He's away on a business trip and when he travels we resort to any means necessary to communicate, even if it means getting himself invited over to an employees house for a beer and stealing their internet   So he messgaes to say hello and to tell me his tinyplane landed safely, but not before plunging 500 feet and giving him a severe headache Anyway, we're talking and then all of a sudden my cell pho

Seriously?

I don't get why some people feel they have to add commentary on every little thing that happens. No matter how many times they are told basically if it doesn't involve them in any way to stay the hell out of it.   perhaps I am the odd one, I have always maintained the idea that if anything I was thinking of saying didn't add anything of merit to what was happening it was best to keep my mouth shut, less i look like a dumb ass. I still really don't get it. My boss hired a new employee. They we

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

Breezewood, PA

Sounds kind of idyllic such that you might expect to see Clark Gable or William Powell driving by in a 1934 Oldsmobile L-34 convertible with Mirna Loy or Claudette Colbert sitting in the passenger seat. Actually, it's a lot of neon and tourists.   I got my load going west, but it doesn't pick up until Monday afternoon. So I drove over here to sit until tomorrow morning when I also need a blood test. According to the AT&T online Yellow Pages, there's a diagnostic lab in Greensburg where I c

Work, work, work

Busy, busy, busy   A few weeks ago I got a call from a headhunter who was looking for field engineers in my area for a big project.   Well I did one site which turned out to be an audition and was offered a contract.   Long story short- I got a contract with a major national bank to do network upgrades for Mississippi branches and it looks like I'm going to be super busy at least through November.   I won't be around as much as I usually am and some of my projects are going to have to wa

Clearly, I've not been watching enough movies

My back brain has decided that I've not been watching enough monster movies, and has seen fit to provide them for me. Nearly every day for the last week has come with a monster or horror driven nightmare. Today, I was a dimension-skipper, trying with my cousin and some guy we picked up along the way to stay ahead of an alien race that seeks to devour the human race. Apparently, we really do taste good with ketchup. The dream even saw to providing standard movie tropes, such as the burgeoning lov

Manchester, PA

Seriously folks, I thought I had this thing beat. I thought everything was going to be peachy again, you know, like it was when I was simply delusional or before that when I was too scared to open my closet door. It been down hill since then.   I was feeling pretty good last weekend and earlier this week. I was doing pretty good, too. Everything was coming up roses.   Well, somebody has to fertilize the roses if they're going to look good so we're in for some heavy shit.   I'm down; there

I'm not getting better...just older

Warning: self-pitying, whiny post ahead     So it's almost my birthday and I've been trying to forget it...isn't easy though, I told one friend months ago when it was during a time when I wasn't stressed out about it and damn if they don't all know now!   I keep getting that, "So what are we doing for your birthday?" question.   Don't get me wrong; I appreciate the sentiment, but I'll be honest, here's what I want to do on my birthday: I want people to send me a nice text, or a brief, c

LLWS Semi-finals - 21 Aug 2008

I just finished watching the last of the semi-finals in the Little League World Series tournament. I was really pulling for the Florida and Maryland teams, but they both got defeated by Louisiana, and Louisiana will now be going to the U.S. championship game on Saturday, facing the team from Hawaii. The Louisiana team is very impressive, and their ace pitcher reminds me a lot of Grady, mainly in that he throws over 80 mph. That's very impressive for a 12 year old kid, and is the equivalent of 10

blogligent = negligent blogging?

UGH! I had a HELLUVA week at work... I may have mostly recovered now. Although, I'm still trying to figure out if dealing with crappy people is part of what I get paid for, and if those crappy people should include my coworkers. Luckily, most of the people I work with don't suck too bad, and I have some great friends there.   Let's see if I can sum up my week... Someone dumped several live catfish in our parking lot and all the stray cats in the area came to feast on their flopping around bod

insomniac heart

You know that feeling you get when you're sleeping alone... and no matter how hard you try, you can't trick your arms into believing the pillow in your arms is who you dream it to be?   Thats the feeling I've got tonight.   Well... thats all i had to say.

New classes are starting

My new classes start tomorrow. I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited too. Some of the classes I'm going to be taking later will be interesting. For now I'm just taking a couple of introductory classes until around November. After that, I will take a web design class, and that's the one I really want to take. I know some HTML, but I want to learn some of the other stuff, because there's only so much that HTML can do. Now that I don't have the severe depression holding me back, I'm ready to move f
