Hey y'all

I just wanted to say hey and let everyone know, that's interested, T&T is still being worked on as I type this. I am on vacation in sunny Florida, but I haven't stopped working on it. I would like to be able to get back on a weekly schedule, but that would take gettting a few chapters ahead. I just don't have the time to pump out a chapter a week AND write good chapters. So I hope everyone will bear with me as I get my life back into order (most of you know the other issues I'm dealing with

Life is a never-ending.

It seems our fate is written somewhere (in the stars or in our genes) and whatever you do, we are conditioned by the qualities and defects inherited from our ancestors. Most ancient religions remind us that we are the sum of the experiences of those who came before us.   Karma means "deed", "action", "rite". This is a Sanskrit term used in many Eastern religions. For these religions, the concept of karma is commonly referred to the cycle of causes and consequences of the existence of sentient

Cruel Summer

Although the weather is something we don't like to discuss, as its the only topic we can really turn to in an awkward silence, or when trying to be polite to a stranger, I can't help but spend a little time thinking about the glorious summer that's arrived this year!   We are meant to look forward to summer. The sun's back! It's happy time. School's out. Fun, Fun, Fun. Down to the beach, everyone's off on holiday, the sun is shining, and its hot. We can get out of the house, the flowers are in

Firefly Festival

I'm going to the Firefly Festival where I'll get to see the play! I'm so excited!  I signed up as a volunteer, so in exchange for three 6-hour shifts, I get to go the event for free. Unfortunately I'll have to work when the Killers are playing, but I'll get to see Jack White on Friday night and the Black Keys Sunday night.   It's going to be so much fun. I've never been to a big concert before. I can't wait!

So I cooked today ....

I'm finally feeling better today so I did some cooking. Some people know I am on weight watchers so trying to be very careful with food. I love lemon chicken but so many recipes I came across called for all sorts of stuff I normally don't have in the house or would push the points I use right through the roof. Then I came across this chicken recipe that is easy and low cal. Basically all I have to count it is the chicken itself. lol.   Ingredients   3 - 4 pounds of Chicken. (Originally they

Early Metal- Black Sabbath & Ozzy

In 1970 Black Sabbath released their self-titled album, established Ozzy Osborn as an artist and became one of metals premier and most influential bands.     During its time, Black Sabbath was highly controversial because of its dark imagery. Their music was widely criticized by evangelicals of all sorts on several continents. When asked about this Ozzy said, "It's not about evil love. It's about selling albums,"   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCjspyo-_aI   http://www.youtube.com/

So July begins

It wasn't how I wanted to start the month. I missed the chance to go to Connecticut and see my friends. Instead i was home dealing with the heat and (fingers crossed) getting over being sick. I hate that. Oh well.   This month my brother has his birthday. Not much else to worry about other than my monthly cards to let my friends know I'm thinking of them. Hope everyone had a good day.   My thought for the day is this -   Being sick I can deal with, besides it beats being dead.

What Defines Love

There is one thing in each of our lives that affects us in some fashion regardless of how we might try to avoid it, fail to understand it, or seek to find it.   It can be illusive, it can be mystifying, it can be frustrating, it can creep up on you unexpected. It amazes us, it brings us great happiness and unbearable heart ache. This wonderful, powerful, thing is not a person, it's not physical, it's certainly not something you'll see or meet, yet it lives in each of us, can be very physically

Summer heat is not my friend

Alright I admit it, as heavy person summer isn't my friend. The good news is the weight is still coming off so hopefully that will help.   The problem however is tonight. I came home from work, hot and not feeling well. I took a shower but that hasn't helped my head or my stomach, both of which ache. I took an aspirin and plan to get bed shortly. Still wasn't sure why I felt so miserable, so i also took my temp which is reading 101 degrees at the moment. Lucky me. Summer time and running a tem

Early Metal: Rush 2112

Rush's breakout album came in 1976. 2112 was the paragon of the power trio. Inspired by Anthem, a novella by Ayn Rand, 2112 explored a dystopian future where collectivism had run amok and individuality was so dangerous that there was no word for "I" or "me".   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQEgZNqa8jE

My "What The Hell" June.

What a month.   So, i started using a dating website. And it worked   There was one guy, but he was just after fun so i was like 'thanks but no thanks'.   Then there was Gary. He turned out to be a douche. He is from my town but still a total douche.   But then at the end of last week, I started talking to a new guy. He seemed pretty nice and kept complimenting me. His name was Ben.   So i responded and then we added each other on skype.   When i added him we sat there and spoke for

Early Metal: Deep Purple

1972 marked the breakout year for the band Deep Purple. Their album Machinehead became something of the beginning of the metal genre. Their contemporaries Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin continued to add the power, volume and edge that defines metal.     The following songs became the noise that drove a generation of parents to drink.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ-lSTlUnfA

Moving On

Occasionally you become compliant in life. It happens. Whether from comfort or just lack of interest, and you let life happen instead of trying to get things done.   I find I don't like how my life is going so it is time to make some changes. I learned long ago to take the blame for my own choices and mistakes. So while I can't change the past, I can make some new changes to bring me into the future. Wish me luck.

Is Bisexual The New Cool

I got to thinking about sexuality again today, specifically about how trends seem to change with how we present our sexuality, even as fashion or social trends change. It got me really wondering, is the latest trend of seeing so many people describe themselves as BiSexual now a new reality or just a cop out that gives a new generation an ounce of credibility in the eyes of their peers.   My pondering should not be taken as an attack on people that are truly BiSexual or anyone who identifies th

But I Always Followed the Rules - The Question is Why?

I'm having one of those days. There is no other way to put it. I hate it, but that is life.   I had a miserable day at work. Add to that I'm feeling lonely and life hasn't gone nearly anything like I wanted it to.   I am the poster boy for following directions.I've always done all my homework, I never cut school, I don't call out of work for a day at the beach, or anything else. I balance the checkbook, give up treating myself to make ends meet, and worry about how I can help others. I gradu

First Times

That very first time you try something new is always a little bit daunting, a little bit exciting, a whole lot of nerves, a nice burst of adrenaline and the amazing feeling of achievement afterwards.   It also makes for some wonderful memories, even if the very first time you tried something was not the best experience you ever had.   Take for example the first time you ever rode on a roller coaster. Now see for me as a kid, I grew up in a part of the world that 'Big' rides were just unheard

Yes - the Yes Album

The first giant hit from Yes was the Yes Album in Feb. 1971. It hit no. 4 on the UK charts, #40 on the Billboard 200 and certified platinum.     The Yes Album was so unique and different from what was being done that it would stop people in their tracks. It's rare when a new sound comes along and even rarer still when its allowed to flourish by an industry that is traditionally known for me-too sound-a-like whoredom.

Age has its merits.

We take pleasure in a vintage wine, in a well matured single malt, in a seasoned and well cured cigar or even a well aged cheese. These are all things that through nature improve with age.   Its a well known formula. If its old and well established it has value. A painting by a famous painter, or a medal with a tangible provenance becomes valuable or a building with history becomes a protected/listed building. All these things are improved or enhanced with age, be it their value, the experienc

Nothing happened today, my birthday blog

Seriously, nothing happened today.   I woke up, checked my emails, thanked people for wishing me happy birthday, then I watched a movie.   No special party, no drinking games, no surprise inside a cake (I'd love to have that happen with a hot male stripper), and no real thrills. It was just me by my lonesome. Everyone is busy with their own lives, careers, and stuff. I am grateful to get happy birthdays, but I miss the old birthdays with actual parties and games.,   I guess I have grown up
