A Note from the President to ME!

K, it's true, if you contribute to a campaign, the candidate will harass you by e-mail (even after they win) and make you feel all connected and shit to keep the cash river flowin'.

I have to admit, though, it's kind of funny to think we live in a time where you can wake to find an email from your President, which is why I never tag it as spam...it makes me smile.

So here's the Prez' public response to his winning the Nobel… Continue

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT....

There was a time in my life when I was a prolific writer. I was awash in ideas and images that I couldn't wait to put down on paper...(yes, it was so long ago that paper was actually written on). I wrote poems, short stories and even some times, with the help of my sister, lyrics. Were they great? I don't know. I think I had some raw talent, I think I could have been a good if not great writer.

I always dreamed of writing a book, my life story if you will. In fact, I've been writing… Continue

I DID MY TIME

Sorry I have not been around, but I was doing some hard time. Paying back the man with no eyes. What can I say. You disrespect me, you get cut. That's the way I roll. Could use some female company ladies. Randy does not describe it. Got a knew prison tattoo. It's Master of the control dressed up as a clown with one tear coming out one eye. Katballou! You better not have cheated on me, or I'll kill your puppy. Xfashionfacist! I made a bracelet for ya out of my hair. Can't wait to put it on ya.… Continue

gotta love the elderly

this was passed onto me by a friend.......

This letter was sent to the Lions Bay School Principal's office after the school had Sponsored a luncheon for seniors. An elderly lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door prize and was writing to say thank you. This story is a credit to all humankind.

Dear Lions Bay School , God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent Senior Citizens luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the West Vancouver Home… Continue

Like I'm Gonna Burst

I really want to make a video. More than that I want to be inspired to make a video. After all, all the effort in the world won't matter if you're not inspired.

The desire is there but the motivation isn't. Like a second hand jigsaw, I'm missing pieces.

I'm missing the comment streams that would come about as people commented and replied to those comments on videos. The banter.

I'm missing the days when people would make videos that would be visually stunning… Continue

Breakfast Bytes Brought to You By My RSS Feeder

I'm addicted to my RSS feed.

Every morning, while sippin' the joe, I click through the titles and hit a few that sound like they promise something of interest, mostly having to do with local stuff, education, technology, social media, or the humanities in general.

So I decided this morning, out of curiosity to see what it might look like, to keep a blog edit open and just type in the random stuff I find. Of course, it's always fun to get feedback, too.

Don't… Continue

We're #37?!

That's right, the USA is number 37 in the world in healthcare. Pretty pathetic.

Playing real good for free

Whenever I enter my BART* station, morning or evening, I’m treated to someone’s musical performance. I can think of more than a dozen musicians or groups who play my BART plaza with regularity. Most of them are pretty decent, some are embarrassingly bad, and a couple of them are superb.

One who falls in the superb category is a man who plays classical guitar. His guitar is almost as beaten up as Willie Nelson’s. He is disheveled, his clothes are very worn, and he doesn’t have a chair… Continue

I don't do forwards, but.....

This did make me laugh a little :-)

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back… Continue

A Response To Nobodyschild99's Blog

"Community, Sensitivity and the Leaving Concept"

When I read your excellent blog it brought back so many memories and thoughts of my time on social networking sites these past two years. It has been an amazing journey.

These days it is difficult for me to communicate my thoughts through speech or the

written word, so please bear with me.

Most of my time was spent on LV, this is how I envision it, looking back.

"When I opened my door in the morning and… Continue

A VISIT WITH A FRIEND

This weekend we had a wonderful visit with a friend that I met right here on the ARK.

Some of you know him as DOK, but I prefer to just call him Daniel. Daniel and I met here last November and we hit it off immediately, but then he left the ARK for personal reasons and I thought it would end there. But it didn't. He was the person I called in the middle of the night (aside from Syd) when I couldn't sleep or I thought I was just going to lose it and he has always been a willing shoulder for… Continue

The Night Before the Day That Came After

In September of the year 2000, My brother died under very mysterious circumstances in New Orleans.

He was an expert commercial diver who trained for years at his craft. His specialty was dry-suit diving, where the depths were so deep that he would have to spend hours, sometimes days in a decompression chamber before being able to safely enter the normal land atmosphere again. He died face down in 3 inches of water on the side of a road. The police would not allow us to see his body, even… Continue

RESPONSE TO "Community and the Leaving Concept - Response"

Nobodyschild99,

I would have left a comment on your blog, but you have it so that nobody can comment..LOL

People are weird. They are weird in real life and they are weird online.

I am also tired of expending energy on people who think its ok to just pop in and out of my life on a whim without a thought to how it might effect me. I have been online and part of different "online communities" for a very long time and I have seen this happen time and time… Continue

Four... closure.

Sunday, August 30th, 9:30 pm.

Ruby laid on the floor near the kitchen side entrance. Ann laid next to her, listening to Ruby’s rapid breathing. It was time for bed soon for those of us who have to go to start another work week in the morning. I knelt down noticing that Ruby’s rapid breathing appears to look as though she has a slight spasm in her abdomen. “I thought the Theophylline would reduce any tendancy to spasm.”, I muttered to Ann as I laid my hand on Ruby’s side. Ann… Continue

Shout Out

I hope this is cool to do, but if not, it wil be deleted.

I found Mysti Mayhem doing live concerts on a site called
blogtv.com. She plays guitar and sings and is amazing !

I believe she is giving another concert tomorrow night, (Monday, Labor Day).

She also takes requests. This is an unsolicited shout-out.
