Welcome to November

So another month has been packed away forever.
October has been an up and down roller coaster ride. Tis done!

I think I will be back at work very soon. It is time for me to get back in the game no matter whats going on in my personal world, and I really... REALLY need the distraction.

Halloween was a great time. The house partying, the Karaoke'ing, dressing up.. well, it was fun. I have pictures on Facebook for the folks who happen to be on my friends list.
I still find it humorous to watch really drunk guys trying to have a go at it. Barely standing and trying to swing rubbery arms.... makes me laugh every time. I tried to get it on film, but alas I was too slow on the uptake. Of course the 'fight' broke out at the same place it happened at last time. The venue shall remain unnamed. *scowl*

November has me house sitting for a friend.. .just a weekend though. I can't really handle being in strange places trying to sleep. I may sneak back home to sleep. Shhhh.. its a blog secret. We'll see how it goes.

Beyond all that, I realize that one of our cats is deficient somehow in the brain. She really likes to climb walls...setting my teeth on edge *shudder*. Just the thought drives me crazy. As well she has taken to attacking my bedroom door at night because she needs a place to sleep. My room is always off limits, so I don't understand her problem.. but I think she knows I hate her. Blasted animal!

Wow. This blog is lame. Lots of things I kinda wanna talk about, but this is not the time.. .and maybe not the place. So with that, I should go yell at the cat as she is climbing a wall again. argh!!!!

Spin the globe and see where you land

      Funny the difference a season can make.  My last post at the end of Spring had me gearing up for an epic European backpacking trip.  Rome, Naples, Procida Island, Bolzano, and various other stops in Italy before swinging up to Poland to visit with a friend there after staying with a gracious and patient friend in Italy.  Wroclaw was special to see for the historical side of things but more importantly to me, it was the birthplace of my dear friend Margaret.  Slawek, her brother, and I would travel the streets of their youth that they had told me all about over the course of decades... it brought Maggie back a little bit, for a short while.  A special end to a pretty special trip.  Definitely had some bittersweet moments as well but the glory of the Roman ruins, the awe inspiring mountains of the Dolomites, to the excitement of hiking up a winding hillside through dense brush and tree cover to behold the ruins of old castles, meticu...

Blogwork is Homework is Good Work

 Hello, Gentle Reader,    This blog has always been my way of sharpening my writing chops, or shaking off the rust of my laziness and trying to find my 'voice', as it were, online.  I know, Gentle Reader, that you often do not give feedback, and thats ok.  This space isn't meant as an ego-reach and any and all feedback regarding my posts is appreciated, often more than you might guess, but thats not why I write here.     Most of my drive and reasoning is the simple act of it.  Writing is healthy for the soul and great practice more than anything else, the more practice you put in, the better at it you get... or at least that's what I keep incessantly telling myself, forever hopeful that I am in fact getting 'better' as a writer, whatever that actually means.  I suppose my ability to project my voice comes down to you, Gentle Reader.  I hope you hear me and I am able to project the visuals and a sense of where I am, figuratively as w...

Fuck this place, I’m out…

I grew up poor.  Really poor. To steal a line from Chris Rock, we grew up so poor we couldn’t afford the O R at the end of the word, we were just PO. hahaha. Still accurate. But my childhood poverty isn’t the point of this post. I mention it because growing up I had to watch all my friends going on family vacations to Disneyland and the Phillipines and Mexico and wherever their families were in the world while I roamed my asphalt jungle like a half wild animal in a cage.   I always vowed that I would see the world someday. It was a fervent childhood promise full of idealism and hope, as only a child can conjure.   In my heartbreak of being left behind and alone to fend for myself all summer, I knew, in my bones…I just KNEW… I’d go out there and see the world some day. Even as those bitter tears streamed down my little cheeks, the fire to see the world, the one I only ever read about in books, burned deep in my soul.  … … … Fast forward a few decades.  I’ve ...
