Gratitude

It isn't often that I look back at my past. I am much too busy racing toward the future. Though when I do pause in the present, joy overwhelms me. I love my life, for the people who have kept it a full and rich place to live.

Thank you

Sojourn

Thinking back I must have bought this house in 2007. Coming up on four years now. Random gust of wind swept me up, spun me around and in it's fading fury breezed me right on back to where I began. Arkansas, the soil generous, fertile, and warm gave way, effortlessly welcoming my world worn roots.

Drama fo yo Mama

I am gonna start tweeting broad sweeping accusations directed directly at no one....just to see what comes of it.  I can't see why I should be left out of all the online drama that people are participating in these days.  Since I really don't want to share any real issues I will manufacture some.  Reality TV does it constantly.  Silliness is fun.

Man's World?

Men are very basic creatures. We need food and sex. Shelter is nice but if we can have sex without, it comes in a distant third. Even the best food we hunt down would easily be traded for the worst sex. That puts pleasing our penises pretty high in our priorities. In a civilized society (though fading fast, is currently where we reside) women control the honey hole.  Some of them can even prepare food.  Now, I ain't no math genius but you tell me who is running the show.

Phil Jackson

Gonna sideline the magic dragon for a hot one and see how the team does without him. It will be hard at first seeing as we have grown to depend so heavily on his fire. Though we were in this game long before he got drafted. So I think we are gonna make the necessary adjustments and will be stronger for it. Ole Puff is a bad bad man but his presence seems to make the rest of the team a bit complacent. We are gonna need all hands sharp and steady to make it to the play-offs and they are close at hand.

Weed that taste like blueberries?! Now I am gonna wanna get stoned every time I get a sweet tooth....from getting stoned....

Rebirth

Most of my new years resolutions have not panned out. Instead of losing the baby in the bath water, I have decide to offer that inner child another chance to breathe. And on what better occasion than a birthday to trust myself to a new Life. A clean life.
First, in order to be reborn, I must first straighten up the mess the first 35 year have produced. No time like the present. After all it has become painfully obvious, I ain't getting any younger.

Funny

I would normally just erase the number and move on. This time I had the misfortune of memorizing the number. May actually have to momentarily step into adulthood and restrain myself. Let's hope this works....

Birthday Bucketlist

     I have never done this before and it may not be a good idea to do it now but if I am already writing this then it is a bit late to turn back now.  Besides how often does a birthday fall on a Friday?!  I am sure there is a mathematical answer to that though it was meant to be rhetorical.  If in fact I were looking for a reply it would be this, "Your are half way from 30 to 40 today with a whole bright sunny weekend ahead of you.  Make the best of it.  Self indulgence is only bad as a lifestyle choice.  GO FOR IT!".  To that I say, "Who is that goat legged fellow cooing so temptingly into my ear?".  I really like the cut of his jib.  With that assessment the shoulder devil and I bid farewell to the white robed halo glad chap who previously purched so proudly in opposition and set sail on the rapid waters of uncertainty.  Wild times await, TALLY HO!!

Paper Scraps

The Angel Ruth

Last night I slept, and I slept well.
Into the dark I blindly fell.
A dream was there to break my fall.
And angel eyes to watch over all.
There were no words, she did not speak.
Though her loving smile, still left me weak.
A beautiful presence carried me to the dawn
Now, awake, the sun is up, and she is gone
I pray. Lord I pray for the dream to come again
Restlessly, I count the moments,
From now till then.
