My Core Values

I am the cornerstone, and my core capacity is Inspiration. I am committed to giving and receiving inspiration in all its forms. I am constantly working to know and understand the truth about others and myself. My commitment to these capacities is so strong that I rely upon the strategies of this capacity set even when these strategies may not be the most effective. My best successes will be realized in specialized fields where the strategies of this capacity set are usually effective and are required most of the time. I am willing to risk myself in thought and action. I have the ability to help people feel hopeful and courageous. Motivating others with my visions and ideas is very satisfying. Talking with others is my way of learning and teaching. Something new and inspiring every day is the spice of my life. I seldom feel defeated; I see good potential in most situations. Free and open discussion is a major element in my leadership style. I thrive on new o...

Sitting in the waiting room ....

Yeah, yeah, I know you were all thinking of the Misfits song, but that's not what this is about. That song blasts in my head every time I sit in a waiting room. If you haven't ever heard of the Misfits, then you have truly missed out on some music history. So, I am sitting here at my local chain-owned tire shop. I have a tire on my car that keeps going down, and the monitoring system keeps yelling at me. I'm not big on places like this. I'm from a small town where I am used to knowing all the workers and the owner. I feel like I am taking my slim chances that I will get the right service I came for at these places, and I feel that the people working on your car could care less. Nobody takes any pride in what they do nowadays and consistently passes the buck onto others when the shit hits the fan. I see this all the time, even where I work. Something doesn't get done or doesn't get done right, and everybody is there to point the finger at the other person. Wh...

Time.. time....time

So here I am, back again, lol. It has been a tad longer than I had wanted to post, but I kept putting it off, and then I am the master of that. I have been and continue to put things off, and it has been pissing me off as of late. I vow to take a stand on it and fix my old habits, but I always seem to put it off till the next day.  It is a Ferris wheel of failure going on in my life because of procrastination. Horrible. On another note, I just blasted by yet another birthday and am one more day closer to being old. It was just like the last 6 of my birthdays, spent far from home and away from friends, but I did have homemade ice cream cake from an extraordinary lady and friend. It was perfect, and anything made with love is going to be good and brighten anyone's day. I have no real complaints, though; if I wanted a spectacle for my birthday, then I am fully able to create my own. I choose to relax at home and not deal with the public at large lol, to many assholes out t...

Attack of the late night 3 day weekend

So so so, we meet again, memorial day weekend and I might be the only one in America not BBQ'ing. I see peoples posts on failboook about their parties and their BBQ's and all that jazz but I ain't having it lol. I stayed home this fine Saturday messing with computer bits and trying to reinvent the wheel. I have several computer projects going on at this time and not enough ambition to do them. Today though I somehow managed to work up a bit and tackle the Apple G4 Cube mod. I got to thinking about replacing the backplate with a custom solution so it didn't look like a hillbillies front teeth. Here is some back story on this. Just over a year ago I was looking into buying a new Mac. Well we all know how much they cost and how much they have their products on lockdown. Now don't get me wrong I love me some bulletproof OS and Apple produces but I hate me a bad ass computer I cannot update the hardware in a couple years time. You basically have to buy a whole new co...

Music

So, throughout my life, I find things hard to remember and forgetful. I sometimes forget to do household chores, start a task at work that was asked of me, and, of course, the worst one yet, forget people’s names. I get introduced to somebody, and I forget a minute of the introduction.  Who knows why I am like this, but at times, it can be frustrating as shit, to say the least. I don't do it on purpose I am not day dreaming about other shit, I am actually paying attention at the time. It is just an everyday thing that, for some reason, has always been there.  As a kid, when this happened, I would get some ass beatings because something wasn't done or was left or some stupid crap like that. You would think that maybe it was an indicator of something wrong or not.  But hey, that is nothing for nothing but in the past, and I wonder, of course, a bit.  I can tell you something that I always remember, Music. New, old, older, newest, doesn't ma...

My start

So, alas, I decided to step into this silly blogging world and try to use this as my jumping point to get my writing skills going again. I used to write a lot of stuff and always had a way overactive imagination, but it has died down in the last several years. So now I worry that I have lost all that I had imagined before, all the made-up action dreams that put me to sleep and hero characters out to save worlds beyond. Those thoughts always made my days go by, put smiles on my face, warmed my heart, and made my friends laugh. A time that I thought I would be forever lost in the green hills of upstate New York, but now I am in the brown desert of Arizona. I don't smile as much anymore, there are no friends around to laugh with like before, and my heart only aches from homesickness. With this, I want to reactivate my ideas, hopes, smiles, and dreams. Let my heart feel those dreams and become warm with thoughts of good times and great stories. Though now I only have a fraction of the...
