Internet friends past & present

You know...it's kind of funny how close one can get to another person via real time on the web...you may not ever even meet in person...but build a friendship and bond and sometimes even love for someone. I've been online for several years now and have come to know so many. I have also lost many for various reasons and that's when it hits home. Lost several due to the fact that they passed away and that effected me profoundly..Others..we just grew apart through time.

Some I still keep in touch with and am very fond of them. Perhaps I will always stay in touch with them and even meet some on down the road..hopefully so

Just recently I had left a forum that I had been going to for many many years...got to know many people and make many friends..but there was also some forms of negativity there and mean spirited people which I disliked..as a good friend of mine had suggested..it could have something to do with the current sad state of affairs in our beloved Country, the USA. People not posting much...having little to say or just plain busy..so many possibilities.

I think I just burned out on it...perhaps just for a little while..one thing is for sure though..my feelings for the people that I left behind will never falter and I will miss them dearly...perhaps going back to see them one day.

Anyone whom wants to stay in touch can do so easily anyway

Funny thing..these Internet friendships

Wild & Fun Memorial Day Weekend and one bad hair day

I wanted to have one great 3 day weekend so I started early..on Thursday, I went out to Mexican food then went to see Shun Yen dancers, which was interesting and worth seeing.

Friday I went to the Casino and won $280.00..I rarely gamble and never go with more than $50..play the slots (pennies)

Bad Hair day is a great metaphor for the next 24 hours:

Saturday..I got up and went for a long bike ride on the Centennial trail..that was a blast! Had lunch in a nice place close to the river..all the trees are in bloom and the wildflowers were all about. Later that afternoon I went to a tailgate party for our local AF2 football team..drank some beers and threw a football around etc. When we arrived in the parking lot and removed the chairs and cooler...my friend had hit the electronic door lock switch and also had left his keys on the seat..my door was still open so I grabbed some pretzels then closed the door..uh ohhhh..car locked!

So he called AAA and they had a locksmith right out to open his rig. So if that wasn't bad enough...he put out chairs with side trays and didn't lock them..when I went to put our food on them, they collapsed..spilling everything on the ground...partial my fault as well for not checking them..

We get inside and I almost go over the upper rail when someone accidentally tripped me..I had to clear the 4 rows of seats otherwise I would have been really hurt..I landed right in front of a 4 foot wall with a rail and went half way over it..spilling the full beer in my hand on the heads of about 10 people below..Security came and asked me what happened....it was all good.

So what a night that was .. Made it home safely


Sunday I went on another long bike ride..went out to dinner...rented some movies and made popcorn

Monday I lounged around the house..worked on the garden..mowed the lawn and watered it...then had an awesome barbecue of marinated pork ribs smoked in apple-wood..potato salad and smoked beans...yummmm

so that was my holiday..rather enjoyable wouldn't you say? and let's not forget unusual

What movie can you watch over and over again?

My Preciousssssssssss...popcorn

Lord of the Rings deserves to be watch over and over through the years

All around good movie to snuggle up and munch some popcorn etc...

Martha will love my Barbequed food

Martha Stewart is coming over for dinner tonight. What do you serve to impress her?

My barbequed food

Steaks..sausages...and so on...I'm sure she would enjoy any of my barbeque

My heart and my music

Connotations of love in music...waxing poetic..a muse of the heart..a flick of a string..where a melody speaks as if it is the heart...if it could speak it would be singing..it feels right..the first time you hear a song that moves you..takes your breath away..like being in love for the first...it's what makes us breathe irregularly and captures us...listening to that riff...a reason we all search for..a feeling so untouched. No matter the genre, no matter the time...no bad connotation belongs in music..for all it does and gives us

Never let that die in your heart

Blue Mondays

Today Seem to be a particular bitch of a Monday..I so did not want to get out of bed this morning. The alarm went off and all I wanted to do is stay there..snuggled in my blanket..sleeping perhaps a few more hours. but I knew I had to get up for yet another daily grind..make a living and pay the bills etc...I had such a relaxing weekend which was far too short. I woke up this morning and went out and fought that bear called society..mad it through unscathed and tired...and feeling optimistic

After Monday passes..I feel somewhat relieved. The worst part is over..Then comes hump day and once that is over with I feel the weekend is right around the corner...

Next week repeat...and so on

tis a life..a good one for the most part

it's just some days I don't want to go out into the concrete jungle and bust my ass to earn a buck...the alternative isn't even an option.

on Monday morning I am dedicated to the proposition that life will only be good if I rise up out of the covers and do what I've always done..live

Good person or?

Am I a good person?....perhaps..but who knows what evil lies within the hearts of many...we all have skeletons in our closet...just another memory..where perhaps the shame is gone of something I did in which I regret...but I'm still a good person I hope, but after all a person is really only as good as their heart and word, everything else is just the outer dressing...

The walls might move in closer and time may lead me to the end of another day...I controlled little of it...it swept by so fast...hopefully my heart can glow like a candle....show the light for others to follow...control of anything seems kind of redundant though...I'll work at it...be a good person as far as I can tell and be good to others and wish them well...no need to tell me who you are or who I am...we'll both figure that out...no need to put a spell on anyone...lives are books to be read and so are people to some extent...it takes awhile to read any epic novel.

I'll wish everyone well in the mean time

What my shoes say about me

If the shoes make the man (or woman), what do your shoes say about you right now?



I wear very light shoes...I'm a martial artist and like to wear shoes that don't inhibit my ability to kick if need be.

Validation

Validation of a wayward life searching for answers..A skeptic and optimistic dogma that surrounds my awakening mind's eye...my perception of myself..the epiphany that validation is a feeling, perhaps a high above realization that all your hard work in life is not just another day...not shame or reward....just believing then letting it go...destiny and shadows and an occasional smile for just another day which I made it through...a memory and a melody played out real time...let it go paddle upstream..fight for another day..achieve what you can, then let it go It's really just another day and another thing...validation

I believe

Meanwhile validate my parking will ya?

A warm Mother's day

It was a nice sunny day today...nice and warm..I got outside and mowed my lawn, trimmed some foilage and rode my mountain bike around the neighborhood for an hour or so...nice to have my door open. I just let my dogs run in and out all day when they wanted to..they love that..now they are sleeping...tired and content.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mothers! Thank you for being there through all the highs and lows and such! You've made our lives so enriched and deserve all the best! ;)

Which movie's characters would you befriend in real life?

I'd fit in well with the last Emperor

He was the Lord of Ten Thousand Years, the absolute monarch of China. He was born to rule a world of ancient tradition. Nothing prepared him for our world of change. I would love to spend days talking with him about how he percieves everything. I teach Martial Arts and love Chinese philosophy etc...find it very interesting.
