What was your first car or your favorite?

Stop hogging the covers

There is no light for me to see with
Darkness, though seemingly lifeless, is not always silent
The drone of the environment subtly distracts
Not here and not gone
Dreams tiptoe in and out
Sudden warmth felt
An embrace to free the grasp of the dreams
Sounds grow stronger overcoming the drone
Even with eyes closed, radiance removes the darkness
Now there is just one complete feeling from two

World in my eyes

This space was to be my outlet for me. I envisioned it as the secret little book, in the tin box, wrapped in plastic bags, buried near some ugly bush in the back yard. That one I would dig back up to see who I was, how I felt at certain times in my life, how others made me feel and finally allowed me to just vent if needed.

I am happy to now have kindren souls who through this storage meduim on a SQL server find my feelings and thoughts interesting enough to leave a part of their own thoughts here. Their thoughts and words sometimes tie in so well that it almost feels as if they are my own.

However, sometimes their comments are just spooky...

"I don't know why, but I'm surprised to hear your wife doesn't know about your blog. Not that that's a bad thing -- or good either, I guess -- just surprising." -Kay

Kay, about 30 minutes after I made the comment to you, I was trying to figure out how to save my creation from the Donald Indigo Trump take over. I was sitting in bed with my wife tapping away moving fake stocks around and explaining this game to her. The game is based on blog value. She asked if I had a blog and I answered yes. I then asked if she would like to read it. She said only if I wanted her to. So from the sanctuary of our bed, I handed the laptop to her to read my blog. A few smiles, a few giggles and some questions on how to read it all as I moved from the bed to the chair to just walking around the room - rinse repeat. I have known my wife for close to 20 years, I should have known that she would be supportive of this effort as she has always been of me. She is the inspiration to change my jaded look on life.

Plus the sex is great. ;)

The landscape is changing

Lately it has been hard for me to concentrate at work. This new world of blogs has drawn me in, allowing me to go beyond my office and meet new people, to learn of their lives and make friendly connections. This world is so different than real life though, more compassionate and supportive. It could be that in the blog world things are not as fast paced. We are allowed to say what we want without interruption. Giving the reader a chance to hear the whole story/thought/gripe and having more time to let it settle in before they comment. I wanted this blog to be a place for me to journal the feelings I had so that I could maybe reflect on them in the future to see if I had changed in any way. Now though, I can see this blog growing into a place where I can communicate with my new friends that I have yet to meet.

I want it all

I see a river
It's oceans that I wan
tYou have to give me everything
But everything's not enough

It's my desire
To give myself to you
Sometimes

Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die it's true
Somewhere I'll find something that's kind in you

And I've crossed the line again
A line I drew in sand
And still you give me everything
But everything's not enough

I'm ready but not willing
To give myself to you
Sometimes

Come on over lay down beside me
And I'll try
Come on over lay down beside me
And I'll try
And I'll try

I want it all

Dear Miss Blog Manners

Being a relative newcomer to the blog scene I was wondering if there were some guidelines for me to follow.

I sometimes get asked questions in my comment section(I do enjoy the comments) and wanted to know, should I answer the questions in my comment section? I feel if I do this I am just padding my own blog.
Should I answer on the commenter's blog on their current post? I feel this is a kind way to repay the comment left for me. But at the same time leaving an almost cryptic comment on a different post.
Should I just do it in a separate blog entry?

Not what I normally talk about...

Last night was Halloween and if you copuldn't tell from the pictures my 4 kids were dress as characters from Star Wars. Today I will running out to buy Star Wars Episode III on dvd to complete their collection.
