<rant> I promise that I won’t be posting much over something that I am seriously annoyed about, but I cannot keep my fingers to myself on this one because I am so annoyed.
I am sick and tired of all of the fucking games that people play, especially in the online dating world. I am a [...]

What’s with all of the mass hysteria?
Posted in People are Strange on July 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I don’t know about what everyone else sees, hears, feels, thinks, and experiences, but there sure seems to be a lot of angry people out there in the world these days, who are acting out in some very strange way. From what I see, aggressive driving has escalated exponentially. Many more people in other areas [...]
Zen & The Art of Deck Building

I love being outside. I love camping, and when at home, I like hanging out in my backyard. I am not a fan of the screaming neighbors that obviously know all of the four letter words that I know and some that I don’t (but I do now), but nevertheless, it can be peaceful out [...]
On Gas Prices
Posted in Activities, In the News, On my mind on July 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I remember when I was a little kid riding in the passenger seat of my mothers Corvair. Gas then was like 30 cents a gallon. As teens, my friends and I would come up with a dollar or two to contribute to my friend’s gas tank and cruise around all night long. When I was [...]
OK! I’m Ready.

Well, after some thought and discussion with another friend, I have decided to go ahead a give the book about my life (my memoirs as another friend put it) a shot. I am just going to start writing and see where it leads me. It could end up as a published memoir, or just stay [...]
My Life; but a Book?

I had a couple of friends over for a cookout last night. Good food, good drink, and good company and conversation make for a wonderful evening. My next door neighbor stayed drinking beer and talking until about 11pm last night.
I shared some details of my past experiences with him during our conversation. Like many of [...]
An “AH HA!” Moment that I Forgot
Posted in Experiences on July 10, 2008 | 1 Comment »
On the Sunday prior to our camping trip, I gave a presentation/sermon at the ALUUC. The sermon was on my “AH HA!” moments, and there was one super significant moment that I can’t believe I forgot to add.
About five or six years ago, I was really down. Marriage number four was failing completely and it [...]
Belt Tightening

I applied for a $30,000 personal loan to purchase a used motor home. I sat and contemplated in my new back yard (I set up the canopy, with some comfortable chairs and a picnic table. My neighbor called it a party paviliion…lol). I got out the checkbook and calculator. There is no doubt that I [...]
Ways to Save
Posted in Notes to Self on July 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
1. Eat breakfast at home
2. Go back to bringing your lunch to work.
3. Stop smoking
4. Check grocery items (i.e. stop buying 12 packs of coke, and just by a 16oz bottle or two when needed for mixed drinks).
5. Ride my bike when able and weather permitting.
2008 Vacation: Day 6, Home & Recap
Posted in Activities, On my mind, Relationships on July 5, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Well, as a result of my very first camping trip since I was a kid, and the first of my life to last 5 full days, I have confirmed what I want to do with the rest of my life: be a full-time RVer and travel. This has been a dream of mine for at [...]
