Bring back the draft!!

Before anyone freaks out...I don't mean the military draft. I'm talking about an entirely different type of draft. I think people spend far too much time living in the same place....near where they were born...and never venturing too far away from there. If it makes you happy, then its totally fine. BUT....the problem with this is that you start to think...

My iPad's travels!

So I bought an iPad. I probably didn't really NEED an iPad and could have spent the money on other, more useful things. But....the 'cool factor' can totally suck me in and once I played with one at an Apple store, I was hooked. So I ordered online thinking that it would arrive in a day or so. It totally sucked when...

Spiritual people versus the spirit within a person

I'm always a little nervous around people who call themselves 'spiritual'. I think being in touch with the spirit within you is an awesome thing but I really wonder if that is the reason that people call themselves 'spiritual'. I guess the difference is that when someone says they are spiritual its a bit like saying 'this...

Senseless killings

I really have a problem with the idea of 'senseless killings'. You hear it on the news almost everyday...either that or some version of the concept. I understand what is meant by 'senseless killings', but what troubles me is the existence of them. Let me explain. I'm self aware enough to know that I am capable of many things. I am capable of...

Halloween whining!!

My wife and I live in a pretty nice house...in a nice neighborhood. I know that bad things happen everywhere...both good and bad neighborhoods....but I think most people wander around here without feeling at risk of anything.

So every year, we put up some decorations for halloween and look forward to trick-or-treaters. We don't get a ton of them because the houses are...

Floating dream

Does anyone else ever have that dream where you are lighter than air?? I recall that this is a pretty common dream with some common cause but I forget what it is (and I'm too lazy to goggle it...hehe). The problem with this dream is that the situations I get into a painfully boring and annoying!! If I could actually float in RL,...

Funny Memories.

I don't think of myself as old....but I realize that I now have memories of things that younger people would think of as being ancient history. Thinks like 8-track players....or computer punch cards....or even 7 1/2 inch floppies (if you don't know what these things are, PLEASE don't tell me or I will feel even MORE ancient!!...hehe). But some changes are more cultural...

Positive Energy

A friend reminded me of this little thought and I wish to share it. More and more I try to avoid people with negative energy. I think I had a hard time seeing it when I was younger. But now, I can get a sense very quickly if somebody is blending with my own energy....or sucking the life out of me. There is...

My first nude picture!

Before I start....No...you aren't going to see any nude pictures of me (and you should thank me for that!!). I'm going a much different direction with this blog....read on....

My wife and I went to a spa resort in the Big Sur region of California a few years ago. They had a regular pool and a clothing optional pool and since...
