Hey,

How are you? A lots been happening I see. My Lord Phoenix and his Lady wife are about to embark on the next stage of their lives together. The Hook is still WOWING us with his wit. Woman, has recovered from her meeting with …. well, you know. and friend, mentor, poet, artist, UK guru and all around good person continues to inspire.

When I first started this, I was listening to, (I’m sorry, I was #Soundtracking) …
A Fine Frenzy – Come On, Come Out from One Cell in the Sea

I’ve told you about the mirror universe blog, haven’t I? It is primarily a blog consisting of my “artistic” endeavours. I place art in quotes, because I DO NOT pretend to be anything but an amateur.

We walked along a crowded street…..Almost Lover

I like to take photographs and I have this device that just when I’m plugged into it and the Muse, I feel like an artist.

So with that said, that’s what’s gonna go there. Photos, sketches, doodles, drawings, stuff like that.

Here, I will still explore those things that make me go, hummmmm. WTFrak???

I think I’m also gonna just go with the flow…..who knows where it will take me, you, us.

There is life in here…..I wonder what.

QUERY how does one “ensure” original content if you maintain multiple blogs? That’s what I am finding difficult, making sure that I’ve original content in all areas. I mean, do you really want to read the same stuff on separate sites?

Luke Bryan, that’s who I’m #soundtracking now.

Well, I’m done for now.

Thanks as usual for follow, comments, likes and stuff. You guys and gals are da best!

Really? Are you really going to go there?

How lame is the excuse of, “I lost your number so I couldn’t get in touch with you” in today’s techno/electro world?

I’ve had the same phone number, that I JUST gave you a few months ago. Look in your chat history.

I’ve had the same e-mail address for at least 20 years. You know it. Look in your old mail.

You’ve followed my tweets, blogs, vlogs, soundtrackings….. so that just doesn’t wash!

Oh well, Whatever.

I wish you well.

Got the Sandalwood burning…

Had a delightful dinner with some really good people. And I behaved myself. I had the fruit bowl.

changing the subject

The discussion of legalising marijuana in the Commonwealth of Virginia has or is rearing its head again……

Of course, the nay Sayers use as their “drive the nail home point” that they wouldn’t want buzzed people on the roads. I started to wonder…..

We probably pass (on our respective highways 100s if not 1000s of people, already high on….

. just sayin’

My next topic…..

I have discovered that if I am to avoid hurting the feeling of a few of those closest to me; I’ve discovered that I must cease and desist all authentic communication with them and basically lie to them. Wait a mo..not lie, but interpret the “facts” of a moment based on their world view and then agree with that skewed (notice,I didn’t say warped, fucked up, idiotic, just where the hell do you live) point of view. I’m up for the challenge.

It’s the year of the Dragon….

This is what my “horoscope” says. (I found this on the web somewhere.)
Thank goodness for open spaces, because the Horse needs plenty of room to roam! true
Energetic, good with money and very fond of travel, Horses are the nomads of the Chinese Zodiac, roaming from one place or project to the next. yes, ok, yes
All of this Sign’s incessant activity and searching may be to satisfy a deep-rooted desire to fit in. don’t know about this
Paradoxically, Horses feel a simultaneous yearning for independence and freedom. true
Horses crave love and intimacy, which is a double-edged sword since it often leads them to feel trapped. don’t know about “crave.”
Love connections tend to come easily to Horses, since they exude the kind of raw sex appeal that is a magnet to others. oh really now? REALLY?
This Sign tends to come on very strong in the beginning of the relationship, having an almost innate sense of romance and seduction. Horses are seducers in general; check out any A-list party and you’re bound to find the Horse in attendance. This Sign possesses a sharp wit and a scintillating presence; it really knows how to work a crowd. ok, yeah
Surprisingly, Horses tend to feel a bit inferior to their peers, a misconception that causes them to drift from group to group out of an irrational fear of being exposed as a fraud. inferior re: how to handle social situations where strong emotions are involved, yeah
An impatient streak can lead Horses to be less than sensitive to others’ needs. I am probably the MOST patient man on the planetThese colts would rather take a situation firmly in hand as opposed to waiting for others to weigh in or come to terms with it. OK
The lone wolf inside the Horse can at times push others away, but this also makes this Sign stronger and is a key to its success. most time I manage to push people into the arms of another. A story for another day.
Horses are self-reliant and, though they might lose interest fast in a tedious, nine-to-five day job, are willing to do the work necessary to get ahead. true
Horses tend not to look much at the big picture; instead they just follow their whims, which can result in a trail of prematurely ended relationships, jobs, projects and so on. nyet! I always take the “big picture” into consideration
This Sign really knows how to motivate others, though, and get a lot accomplished.
Once they find some peace within themselves my never ending search, they can curb their wandering tendencies and learn to appreciate what’s in their own backyard.

Ok….really?

Well, I’m outta here like spit through a trumpet!

My last day in Hinesville, Ga.

So I’m listening to Skye (Edwards) since 06:45 am and we’re still going strong! Her voice calms me in ways that surprise even me.

SOLITARY

You said the thing you said and you twisted me up
I don’t feel any different but there it is in my head
Stuck like glue, like a molecule
Like my brain, a speeding train
I’ll never be the same
Will we always be the same

You did the thing you did, and it twisted me up
Now I’m wrestling with reality
Waiting for the bell to ring
And you kill me, you still me
Come find me, don’t loose me
That is all I want, that is all I want

The sky, the rising sun… Solitary
And you my only one… Solitary

And in the morning when I wash my face
I see happy, I see hired
I see ugly, I see peaceful
I’m waiting, running, I’m not angry or wired
I just get a little worried simetimes

Then I do the things I do, but they still twist me up
I’m wrestling with my sanity
Listening for the bell to ring
And I kill me, I fool me
Can’t find me, don’t loose me
That is all I want, that is all I want

The sky, the rising sun… Solitary
And you my only only one… Solitary
No time, no end believe… Solitary

You did the thing you did, and it twisted me up
Now I’m wrestling with reality
Waiting for the bell to ring
And you kill me, you still me
Come find me, don’t loose me
That is all I want, that is all I want

The sky, the rising sun… Solitary
And you my only one… Solitary
The shore is to the sea… Solitary
And in the end we’ll be… Solitary

Ok, I’ve moved to Sleepthief

👽👍✌

Is it the same?

… to bring…

logic to emotion instead of bringing emotion to logic?

Wow, it’s almost the end…

Ok, one way to make up for lost blogging days….post your “drafts.”
Yeah, I think I’ve posted four or five blogs left on or is it “in” “draft” status. Of course, I believe that most of the were combined in another blog, but as I said in one, “oh well.”

I’m just pleased “TO BE.”.

Now off to read some statistical analyses. Type to you next year. 👽👽👽👽😜

“you should be more like…”

…insert name.

Do you know HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HEARD THAT?

TOO FUCKING MANY!!!!!!! sorry for the pay channel language.

I grow so weary of people telling me how to behave and how I should be and what I should do.

You know what? I think I’m a rather nice guy. I am aware of my flaws. In fact, I embrace them with open arms! I realise that I am not the easiest person to get to know. Hell, sometimes I can’t stand myself. LOL! But it may be worth a moment of your time to try. After all, I’ve made an effort to try to get to know you. (and if you know me you know that for me to extend myself, to put it out there, is a big step….)

Phunny thing. Morcheeba’s “Be yourself” just started playing on the pod!

Let’s shuck this to the cob. If I need to be more like (Jimmy, Ray, Don, Bob) for you to “like” me, then, don’t, because I won’t.

After all, YOU invited yourself into MY space (not the site, my personal sphere). I did not seek you out. Something to think about.

Oh by the bye, those people you want me to be more like….well, because folk tend to forget I’m around, I see and hear their dirty little secrets. Believe me, you really don’t want me to be more like them……believe me

Hey! Well, I was going to…

…gripe about something. But now I can’t remember.

…share a thought or two about some things that have been knocking about in my head. But, I’ve realised that those thoughts need a little more knocking before I can share.

…finish a vlog that “needs” to be finished, but I just don’t feel like it.

…move, delete, compress even more files. How in the blue hades does one fill a t.b. so quickly? What’s after a terabyte?

Oh well…a pui tardi!

✌

perhaps, today I should just unplug…

another of those “lost posts”

Like that could ever happen. It’s odd. I can not remember the last time I was COMPLETELY disconnected from the inter-webs. by choice I should probably say.

I say ^^^ because with the recent set up app updates, many of them just don’t work anymore…including FACEBOOK, my photo storage app, my texting app…those apps I use frequently. Oh well. My only major concern is the photo storage app. I’ve some really neat personal sentimental stuff in there.

What else? Ahhh, we’ve started counting carbs (how many consumed in each meal) in the house now. Surprisingly, the portion sizes are amazing and often times MORE than I am able to consume.

I’ve resumed my “home” workouts. Basically, as many sit-ups as I can do, then take my bike out for a few miles (min 5, max 12), more sit-ups (total 100 before bed), incline pushups (as many as I can do). I haven’t the strength to do standard ones….yet.

Qualche considerazione prima di alzarsi dal letto — A few thoughts before getting out of bed

Just something that has come to mind. No rhyme or reason to this.

I am sure that you’ve heard this before. “If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?”

What is it with the youth, not just kids, but young adults today? What makes a person, in the prime of their life…. HATE EVERYTHING? Now, we are going to remove depression/mental illness from the equation from the start.

Now where am I going next? Just because you don’t get the girl (or boy) you want; you give up “hope?” now that’s crazy talk. Why in the name of the gods would anyone want to be saddled, chained, bound to anyone when you’re 18, 19 or even 20? What do you HONESTLY have to offer yourself, let alone anyone else at that age? LIVE LIFE.
