It's August's full moon - though, by gods, it feels as though there's been 216 full moons this year *Oi!*

it's been one helluva year, unquestionably, and I'm not just talkin' the obvious national & worldwide beatdown

Survived into another (personal) year - //shocker// I know, since it's only been, you know, a few days since my last posting ;)

my fathre called late that night ( it's his b'day today )...
'course, he humorously forgot when I was born, thinking I'd just turned 55 ( fyi :...

the strive for, to drive for, becoming a better self, a better version thereof
this is all the more omnipresent, if not outright NECESSARY, in these chaotic, disturbed days we are living in
we have seen, baldfaced & screaming, what mankind is capable of, in all-too negative fashion
BUT we must be a better example, curbing our impulsiveness, thinking before reacting, & being aware...

I could post about the Local Incident(s), being a mere 15-30mins from the area, but I'm refraining...
if you really need to know my buck-and-a-half, you can check out my fb postings - and rare bits on my twitter too

in this first half of the year, we've had EVERY opportunity to be show ourselves to be proud & steadfast Americans, intelligent & law-abiding, with integrity & honesty - disappointing us with purposeful ignorance, endangering neighbours, friends, & family, & criminal activity :(

...this overnight rioting, looting, arson, & assaults are NOT showing the state, the nation, the world, who true Americans are - it's...
