Have you have thought about...
Posted On 01/29/2010 13:17:51 by dring
Have you ever thought about the direction your life has taken and asked “What the hell happened?”   Do you ever think about the dreams and goals you had as a child and wondered why you gave up on them?  And then wonder, “Is it too late?”   Do you ever think “when do I get my life back?”   I find it interesting that we grow up with dreams and goals and very rarely achieve them…why?   I have often wondered about my choices and wonder if the opportunities th...

(In the Works)
Posted On 09/19/2009 22:30:00 by Scott
The movement and attitude of mainstream society disgusts me. Unwilling and unable to face realities associated with life, people in general have become increasingly selfish and taken up this idea that they should be allowed to do what they please in order to be "happy". Although this seems reasonable on the surface, I question how legitimate and practical this idea is. People tend to take this thought too far, disregarding other people's own happiness, health, and safety in order to further prop... Read More



Escape
Posted On 08/27/2009 22:35:33 by Scott
           My vision blurred, my breathing became irregular. Those thoughts... MY thoughts were racing, incomplete and demeaning. The lights became spotted, the music turned erratic, and the small world around me expanded before dimming.  Trembling with an array of emotions, I found myself having to run and escape. Even away from Them, I was lost and crippled. I was alone. I had nothing. Focus, just focus on something, anything. I was power... Read More



Acceptance
Posted On 08/21/2009 01:16:23 by Scott
Since I can remember, my mom and dad have always embraced the idea of accepting others for who they are. Whether the person in particular was an asshole, simply stubborn or even conceded, I was taught to at least respect them as a human being. Everyone has suffered or been molded to the person they are today through what they have seen and been through in their own lives. It's all relative and interpted individually.            As Individuals, peopl... Read More



Random Thoughts of Beauty

            Some believe that you could look into someones eyes and gain an understanding of their lives in regards to pain, joy, restlessness, ambitions, etc. Even if miniscule, that slight view of their emotions can gain you endless amounts of information. Are they sincere? Do they hurt? Are they judgemental or even scared to gaze back into yours? Instantly it forces you to question your actions towards them or even cause you to rethink the w...

Susan Boyle and the Invisible Woman
Did you cry the first time you watched Susan Boyle? The mega You Tube star has so far racked up over one million hits total on the video showing her unexpected unveiling in front of a live British audience in Simon Cowell's show, Britain's Got Talent 2009.   If you have not seen it go HERE:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY   Amazing. But how many Susan Boyles are out there? Is she part of a contingent called by soc... Read More

Charles de Gaulle airport
Posted On 09/08/2008 19:35:59 by Domenic
I'd like to talk about one of the most frightening things in travel today--a tight connection at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG).

I know better than to try, but on my recent trip home from Venice to Boston, I tried anyway.

The only other connection would have required my family to wake up at 3:30am, leave our cruise ship for the airport at 4:30am and lay over for five hours at CDG. I decided to live on the edge.

I took the connection offered by the airline... Read More



Just the way I am.
Posted On 07/11/2008 22:58:40 by vinekeeper
It,s great to live in rural Idaho. This is an irrigated area along the Snake river. I live at the edge of the irrigated land and the desert or seeding is only a half a mile away. This is the best of both worlds. I can ride from the pasture/corrals to the desert on my riding mule and roam vast stretches.  Those that do not live in areas with government lands miss the opportunities to use them. Idaho is almost half government lands and it is open for use to the public. We (my wife and I and u... Read More
