NOW AND LATER

Never Half Empty

2009-04-29T06:57:00.000-07:00

where was I when I went to sleep last night?
I dreamed of...
cobberstone streets and skies so blue that I cried,
people walking narrow streets between red, blue, and yellow colored buildings.
a restaurant of blue tile floors, furnished with mahogony tables and chairs.
lush broad leaf plants, so green and proud.
a cooling fountain in the center, that song in cascading babels.
spiced meats and vegetables promising me a good meal.
welcoming smiles of missed friends greeting my arrival.
a glass of water was placed before me half full...

Where have I been?

2009-04-28T05:53:00.000-07:00

I have been floating out in the ether...I wanted to blog (not really), but everything has been said.

My last blog was on October 22, 2008...let's see what has happened since then:

Halloween
Collapse of the world economy
Presidential Elections
An African American as President
Hope
Thanksgivings
New baby in home
Christmas
New Years
Hudson Bay crash
MLK Holiday
Washington and the country changes for the best
Angry sore losers or the collapse of the Republican Party
Valentine
A cold winter
Beach Vacation
Bailouts
St. Patrick Day
A cold spring
Death of a Friend
Finding out I have a health condition
Pirates of the Indian Ocean
Easter
Car troubles
Great TV shows on the to be cancelled list
Torture Gate
Swine Flu

These are all the things I would've blogged about over the past six months, but had no time to write about. Some of the things looks very interesting to blog about so you may see them in future blogs.

The Man Rules

2008-10-22T04:55:00.000-07:00

This was very funny and truth from a man's perspective...

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

Finally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear ' the rules'
From the female side..

Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered '1 '
ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or

motor sports

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;

But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Letter to my Congressman

2008-09-23T06:48:00.000-07:00

I am very angry about the fleecing of America by fat cats in the giantic financial institutions. I know it may pointless but atleast I said my peace.

My letter to my Congressman....

Please do not pass the financial institution bail out bill. When individuals and institutions make bad business and financial decisions, we should not bail them out carte banc.

The American people should not be the financial fall guys to Financial Giants, and special interest groups. Capitalism needs to be protected for itself...these giantic institutions should fall to the wayside for smaller, smarter, and lender institutions that care more about their country by making smart business decisions and are willing to face the music when they mess up.

Say no, to those top executives who are seeking golden parachutes on the backs and labors of the American people.

I know I may not get an answer from Washington other than the US Congress passing this bill because of the strong financial lobbyists in the halls of Congress.

I can only hope, Congressman Johnson, that you represent your district and the American people by not passing this bill.

Thank you

On a train ride to the edge of never, never land

Snap,Pop

A conversation on the electronic verb blurs out
for all the uninterested to hear

Snap,Pop

Over the smooth roar of the transit wheels
Her jaws slammed into the chewy grump of sugary fruitiness

Snap, Pop

Snapping it,
popping it like
a sound made by a frozen lake
weakened by careless footsteps

Snap, Pop

I begged for a reprieve in the sounds of Bono screaming
“Let it go” and “Fade Away” from my ipod

Snap, Pop

Yet, I could still see her jaws running
the race to chew the gum into submission

Snap, Pop

Pounding away at it,

Snap, Pop

until I

DragonBall the Movie

2008-09-03T05:32:00.000-07:00

Okay, I 'm very excited about the new Dragonball Movie...I went to Dragon Con this weekend and didn't hear anything about the movie until James Martsen mentioned he had finished filming the movie in Mexico. I nearly wet in my pants, there must be a god. DragonballZ was the 1st real anime series I cut my anime teeth on.

I have no idea what I am during....

Like so many things in today's world, blogging is new to me. I will try not to bore you with my day to day trials and tribulations, hell I've tried to not bore myself with it, but I can not avoid doing so.

Blogging to me is like giving the finger to all the bloated literary and media conglomerates like the newspapers, publishers, the entertainment industries, magazines, and english teachers who thought their way of expression was the only way.

Blogging pushes those boundries beyond the obvious to the personal self expression. I can not guarentee anything, but hopefully what I put forward will not cause my old english teachers pull out the red pens and begin to mark my mistakes.
