Strife and Harmony

Perspective

I have always thought that learning from our own mistakes of the past can help us move forward. For me, there's always been a tendency to be too dependent of other people. I have never truly allowed myself to stand alone. This has led to a lot of problems for me, and I realize I must stop doing this if I ever want a good life for myself, one where I live free of guilt. At the same time, I've also tried to be an appeaser. I have put others' needs above my own. I can't do that anymore either. Basi

Taking some time

Every once in a while we lose sight of what is most important in life. Chief among these important things is taking care of one's self. That is something I had forgotten for a while. I had allowed myself to get caught up in something that just isn't needed right now. The only way to fix it is to distance myself for a while. I would like to personally thank Trebs for the advice he has given me. I have gained new perspective where a lot of things are concerned. I was at a point where I wanted to b

Fired, rehired, fired, rehired...all in one day

So yesterday was interesting. As most of you know, I work for a golf course not too far from my house working on golf carts. I repair the ones that are down and I maintain the rest of them. Part of my job is keeping the shop in order. I organize and hang belts, hoses, and tools. I also order replacement parts and keep track of inventory. Well, until March I was the only one doing the job, but since I've been getting more and more yard maintenance work, I've really cut back at the golf course, s

HAVE A PENIS! HOLY EFF!   So, it's Rich's birthday today! Funny story... I brought home stuff to make him a birthday cake, German Chocolate, cause I have mad skills like that, and he totally didn't know, so after I got home from work, I baked it and while it was cooling, I took a shower and chatted some with my Angel, and then I went to put the icing on it. I'm working away furiously with my spatula and some coconut pecan icing and of course my cell phone rings, so I tell my daughter to answe

Chronicles of My Life

Dates, Tickets, Counciling, and Parties

A brief recount of my weekend and week thus far:   All last week Luke kept pestering me about not spending enough time with him (he's clingy...and I occasionally make long posts). So we agree to meet up Friday night. So I'm tired Friday night, but I fix myself up and get ready anyway, wouldn't be fair to cancel on him right? WELL, I call him, right on time mind you, and he announces that he's gone off to the movies with Scott, John, and another guy. Based on the way he explained it, I read

I must be a total freak

My mind plays tricks on me. There's no way around it. I wish it would stop, but it doesn't seem to be. I find myself questioning people's intentions and misunderstanding some things people say. It's like I've been in my own little world where reality is bent. I have to get to a point where this is no longer the case. I need a sense of clarity and a sense of direction and purpose. I think I'm figuring out that depression creates an alternative reality where you don't always see the good in people

Nathan and David Part 3 on the way

Okay, I admit, its been ages sinces I've posted a new chapter of... anything >__<   However, I do have a new chapter of Nathan and David on the way, it just needs a bit of editing to polish it offf... the problem is... If you've talked with me before, you've always heard it referred to as the final part of Nathan and David.   This is no longer the case as I now have some insidious, explosive, boiling hot plans for our boys and their honeymoon.   In any case, be on the lookout for so

Procrastination Extrodinare

Beh, I have a boatload - it seems- of stuff to do and no motivation to get them done. To compound matters, if I do have the motivation to get them done other things simply get in the way.   On the lacking motivation side -   I want to get a general redesign of my site here at GA done, coupled with a redesign of my personal website. I'd even like to get my writing up on my personal site, replace some of the older out-date. The GA redesign is mostly going to be behind the scenes stuff, as I am

Why not?

I've decided to take a couple computer classes in the fall. It seems like a good idea. I've an interesting relationship with technology. Like all other things, I'm neither fish nor fowl when it comes to technical literacy. By the standards of most of my coworkers (particularly with my last job, marginally less so with my current job) and those I grew up with, I'm a techno-wizard. To most of my age peers, I'm a howling technophobe, mostly because I dislike using text messages. Silly I suppose, bu

One of those surveys that starts on Viv's blog and eventually makes its way to mine

Are you tan? Goodness no! I'm naturally a very fair-skinned person and I'm obsessive about skin care/health. Tanning is a really bad thing for someone like me to do to their skin.   I occasionally use moisturizer with a subtle tanner in it, and I think I have a decent 'glow/colour' thing going on (I'm in good health), so I don't have the pale goth look either.   Do you use proactive? Nope, like I said, I take good care of my skin and I'm lucky to have nice skin anyway. Do you own chan

Concentration... or should I say, "Lack thereof,"

I recently started taking Wellbutrin. It seems like ever since I started taking it, I have a hard time concentrating for any length of time. I can't write very much, and reading seems to be just as difficult. It's really frustrating too. I like to get lost in a story whether I'm a reader or an author. It's like Wellbutrin does something in my brain that makes it difficult to focus. It does seem to improve my moods though. Hopefully I will adjust soon and my brain will be able to function. I'm al

Silly Survey #372... and a PS...

Are you tan? I have more tan lines in different places and shapes... I even have a flip-flop tan line...   Do you use proactive? Nope, thankfully I have fairly nice skin and always have.   Do you own chanel perfume? NO! I own Romance by Ralph Lauren which I rarely wear, and a bunch of Victoria Secret stuff, but the one I wear most is called Pure Seduction.   Do you shower daily? Mmhmm, sometimes twice.   Do you go to the tanning bed? NEVER! I think that's like scary and totally pit

Death wish? I think so...

With Luck A Rocky Landing   I wasn't sure where this should go, so I opted for my blog. Anyway, these people have lost their minds and they jump from rock to rock. It's enough to make even C James cringe with fear. I mean, they could break their bones doing this. I don't care how drunk I get, I could never do this. The locals cite some kind of adrenaline rush as the reason for doing this. I watched the video, and I was wondering why anyone would want to do this. It scares the shit out of me ju

The Day I've Been Waiting For....

This past few weeks have been very crazy... So Today was our famous Family Night we do every year for the parent's. Each of our groups do a dance for their parent's, then as an entire group we all dance together. Let's just say the thing takes a LOT more time to prepare and get everything ready, then it lasts itself. We spent the last two weeks, teaching our kids their dances, having them practice hard, then we had to figure out a little skit, make our 7x10 ft posters for each group, and still b

Cancer

Its a devastating thing. It grows silently, using your own resources against you. Masquerading as other maladies until it is finally discovered. When it is found, it is almost universally cut out. Some people are resilient to it's removal, even though the cancer takes some of them along with it. Others, are just not strong enough: the disease is wound too tightly into their bones; into their foundations. Still the best option is to get rid of it before it has a chance to spread further and infec

The New Face of our Galaxy

The good people working with the Spitzer space telescope have made a huge discovery. Spitzer sees in a number of bands of the infrared spectra some of which have never been possible to explore before. Our atmosphere absorbs a large chunk of the infrared spectra- specifically microwaves.   Spitzers position high above our atmosphere allows it to see and explore things that human eyes simply can not and have only now begun to have the ability to explore.   Our understanding of our own home ga

Beach, ND

As I've said in previous blogs, there's no beach in Beach, ND. Other than the sky blue water tower, there's no substantial body of water to have a beach. I suspect it was someone named Beach who designated this little bit of America's Siberia to be a beach. It's been reported that some winters in ND are so cold diesel fuel gels and the trains stop running. I believe that because just across the border to the north is Canada and everyone knows how cold Canadians are. You'd be cold too if it never

The Righteous One's...Thank You Shadow God :)

Steve's reference to Bone Thugs and Harmony made me bust out with some of their stuff...here's one of my favorite songs by BT~n~H     http://youtube.com/watch?v=-L5Gkv03HaY     Oh yeah, and here's my answers to Kevin's living will question, too.   Living Will: I don't see why anyone wouldn't have one. I guess I can't have one yet, but in 6 months, it seems like it only makes sense.   Life Support: Not for me, thank you   Do not Resuscitate: I can see this if I'm already terminal

Questioning Sincerity

I generally tend not to trust people or believe everything they say for quite a while. This is one of my defense mechanisms as I have been burned a lot in the past. Generally speaking, I'm not to the point where I think every word is a lie. However, it does take me a while before I believe all or most of what a person says to me. I make it a habit to look for certain patterns before I make a judgment call. This tends to save me from a lot of undue drama and even pain in some cases. While most pe

When the time comes....

In life, everyone comes to a crossroad and have to make a decision, and right now I have about three major ones.   School Everyone says that the best way to get ahead in the world is through school. Well in my case, it's coming to the point of where am I going to go finish my school. The school by my house is offering ASL courses and Criminal Justice courses that transfer to anywhere in NJ, but the thing is, I don't want to spend my life in NJ getting my education, I auctually want to get out

My Contribution To The Enviroment

Ok, so as most people know, I'm not much of an environmentalist. I believe that global warming is a hoax and that we need to industrialize Africa so that the people of that continent can enjoy the fruits of a thriving economy. I also believe that relaxing environmental standards on industry will benefit the entire world in the long run. But I'm not completely void of environmental stewardship. I stopped eating red meat, pork and chicken almost a month ago and I'm working on my pesky addiction
