Just a blurb. Lots of things crossing my mind, more questions than answers. I thinned out some of my groups so I could pay more attention to the ones I like to read or share with. But that's only a baby step in the grand scheme. There's so much teetering on the brink of change in my life, I think I'm spending too much time...

Oh shit, sorry. I've been pretty MIA from SG lately-->getting into the whole Zivity scene with a debut set that just came out and whatnot. But I'll send you a message about it

I'd love to chat. Some serious shit.

That was a pretty amazing, insightful and powerfully emotional blurb.

First of all, as cliche as it may be to some, thank you for your service. There is nothing easy about putting oneself out there in harms way; regardless of how much someone may or may not 'love that shit' (as some people say). Its both admirable and totally fucking John Wayne!

Its definitely hard when you feel like the present is just a pale shadow off the past and that your best times are behind you (?) I feel that way sometimes. I'm a decade older than you and I'm not aging gracefully. Perhaps it would be more effective if my mind would actually age with my body but it stopped around 32. That feeling of temporal displacement is even more difficult when you have no one to talk to about it. I truly hope that whatever you are going through now, passes in completion, and opens the the door for both an exodus of old demons and a visitation of good will and peace.

By the way.. It's a pleasure to meet you Sir.

I need to talk to someone. Like really talk. Like sit down for six hours or so and just empty out. The problem is that I need to do so outside of the cognizance of an over-bearing wife who won't even let me have ten minutes to myself to take a shit, much less anything else.

I've worked so hard to overcome everything that's been...

Damn dude... I'm sorry things are shit right now, there seems to be a lot of it going around... If you were closer I;d say let's go grab a beer

Things will get better. Not tomorrow, I;m sure, but they will!

So I'm becoming disenfranchised with zoos. Don't get me wrong, I completely approve of the conservation work they do, especially the networking between zoos to repopulate endangered species. But the concept of a zoo makes me feel even worse every time I visit one.

Let me start by saying that none of this is a direct stab at the most recent zoo I visited, being...

Man, I felt the same way when I visited the San Diego Zoo years ago; and they are supposedly the top of the tops of nice zoos. It's just sad, no matter how nice the facilities...

Thanks.

I should actually have quoted Mark Twain:

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

It is a goregous coastline!

Grrr..... I asked for one thing on this trip. Just one thing. It was even on the schedule. I wanted to shoot star trails over the tufa formations at Pyramid Lake. The thought of desert skies with no haze or humidity is pretty much a wet dream to an east coast astronomy nerd. She changed the schedule because she didn't want to have to drive...

Wandering around San Fran. Fondue Cowboys is pretty much amazing. Next up, Golden Gate park.

I read that story over on Facebook. That's crazy. What's even more crazy is that I live in Green Bay.

Why I fucking hate September, in a nutshell.

1) Weather extremes. At no other time of the year do I have to put on a winter coat and hat and scrape frost off my truck windshield, then strip down to my skivvies to keep from overheating by mid afternoon. The "crisp, cool days" that everyone seems so fond of do nothing but remind me of...

I cried while doing the processing on this photo, then I wasn't sure I liked the final product, so I did it again. I'm not generally one to spoonfeed an analysis of my own photos to viewers, but I feel like this photo, in either form, says so much about how the whole collective of Penn State fans, players, and coaches feel at this point....

Okay, friends, neighbors, and relatives, listen up. I'm only going to say this once. Seriously, though, keep reading. If my rant doesn't at least make you smile, I'll promise you something that I have absolutely no ability to provide in the greatest political fashion I can muster.

Politicians are assholes, and unless you've been living under a rock in central Tennessee, then you're quite aware...

Very nice!!! Glad to hear your weekend turned out so well.

I love cooking. And I love cookbooks! Very nice gifts to get.

My weekend was pretty good. Got out of the house for awhile yesterday which was much needed. My son was a riot this weekend, he is always a blast to hang out with. I posted pics up on Facebook, check them out.
