It seems like forever and a day since I last posted. I don’t know what’s gotten into me in regards to my lack of posting, but over the last 6-7 years it seems like it goes in stages. Sometimes I post with the floodgates open, other times it’s somewhat of a drought. Eeeek. Alot has happened since the last time I posted. It seems like it’s all too much for my brain to comprehend. Maybe I can put pen to paper and at least start. Given I’m so tired, I’ll stick to kiss. Keep It Simple Stupid. We’ll try to put it into a summary…. here goes nothing!The Weekend Before Last.I was finally able to figure out this iMovie thing. I found that the new version of iMovie ’08 is pretty much crappy, and that iMovie ’06 was for free to download! I inserted my movie, added a bit of mojo, a great song, and here is what I came …

I needed to escape. This past week has taken it’s toll on me so I figured an escape was in order.I headed off at about 10 and have had a great time since then, up until now, right before work.So what did I do that was so fun? One word.The Mountains. Ok, so that was two, but it was a blast. The book I read regarding camping and offroading stated that Rampart Range Road was great because it connected to a ton of trailheads and that most were easy-moderate in difficulty. This road starts off in the middle of Garden of the Gods, and continues literally 20+ miles into the middle of nowhere mountains and the woodlands park area. Tons of fun things to do. Biking, hiking, fishing, boating, riding … you name it. There is a sign right by the turnoff onto the road that says it’s meant for high clearance SUV’s, although I saw a few passenger cars …

The eight hundred pound gorilla, the over sized pink elephant, the monkey on my back. All of which have been quietly and patiently in my living room for quite some time now. I assure you, I kept them all plenty fed, and gave them adequate shelter. But please, between you and I, don’t let PETA know about it. I’m sure they’d be up in arms given I had them hiding underneath my sofa. In the words of the great Genie from Aladdin, “Itty bitty living space”.From this exact moment on, my door remains open. No longer will the eight hundred pound gorilla, the over sized pink elephant, the monkey on my back be in my possession. They are free to go. So lets talk about it.For the past few months I’ve done my best to keep quiet, to keep the gorilla, the elephant and the monkey out of plain site. For an even longer time, years even, I’ve kept my …

Turn my mike up louder I got to say somethingLight weights step to the side when we come inFeel it in your chest the syllables get pumpingPeople on the street they panic and start runningBefore I even woke up this morning, I was already worked into a dither. No idea why, no rhyme or reason, just in a pissed off, grumpy, nasty, bitter, angry, dither. I thought it was at first the phone I was laying on all night, stabbing me in the back all night, or the smell of enchiladas filing my entire apartment before it was even 3am. Perhaps it was the coming drama that the day would produce that my attitude was warning me of.Whatever the cause, there I was. Me and my dither.Risk something, take back what’s yoursSay something that you know they might attack you forCause I’m sick of being treated like I have beforeLike it’s stupid standing for what I’m standing forLike this war’s …

I admit. Life is a bit of a SNAFU, and not just for me but I’m sure for everybody. Some situations leave you gasping for breathe in it’s insanity, and others leaving you gasping for breathe for reasons of the exact opposite. Regardless of it’s cause, life has a way of leaving one breathless.  When life gets turned on it’s ear, and completely flips you upside down, it’s your roots that you hold you securely in place, keeping your eyes fixated on the light at the end of the tunnel . It’s your core values and beliefs that get you through the day, that let you keep on keeping on, and ultimately bring life back to normalcy. If even for a moment.It got me thinking about how sometimes my life has been anything but normal, and that in itself is “normalcy”. Maybe it’s me and my perception. I have ways of perceiving situations far worse than they are. Most would …

Last night I made my apologies for not staying in touch with everybody like I should have, however, this time around, I’ll be saying sorry due to the lack of coherence in my last post. I think I was half asleep when I wrote that. Regardless, I’m sorry for not posting in forever, and I’m sorry for the quality(or lack thereof) in regards to my posts.Sometimes life gets so hectic and so crazy that we lose track of the important things in life. Sorry again … did I say important? I meant to say the simplest of things in life. The smallest minute details of which bring about the greatest happiness. For some that’s the thought of crawling into a warm comfortable bed next to ones significant other. For others it’s a nice mixed drink and a stogy. Maybe even blogging. Who knows ….I do know that for the past month I’ve neglected alot of things. Things that need not …

I apologize up front for my long delays in between postings, however, sometimes a break is needed, other times it’s best to use discretion. I only say that, because the last few weeks it seems like bloggers have come under attack as somewhat of a psychotic group. A group that when the things turn sour or the hint of negativity in ones life, they blog about it. This is true. I’m sure I’ve over stepped my boundaries with people in the past. I’m sure I’ve had my fair share of missteps that should never be posted to the intertubes, but all in all I think Ive done a rather decent job at keeping my private life private, and yet portraying my personal side.So what’s new with me you ask? Alot of things really … Stress. Lots of stress. Drama, even more drama. Chaos, hectic, awesome, punch to the gut, incredible, amazing, crappy, happy, sad, fun, laughs, sorrow are all …
