ok.. so I'm taking a next step in my life. I'm improving on myself. I'm going down this path i am on, thanks to God. I now attend a church regularly, and I like its small confines in a church building i attended nearly 40 years ago. To me it is surreal. Do i know whats ahead, or even where I am going? no, not at all. to be honest it scares me, but I need to step out of my fear and take charge of my life, and live it the way I and God want me to be. where ever this path goes, I'm sticking it out to the end. I feel it is a testament to who I am. I am learning more and more everyday about myself. and improving, also trying to make amends for past mistakes. But one can only make amends for mistakes where there was mistakes to begin with, if people don't want to listen then that is their fault, and their loss. I wont go where im not wanted and I know I am a good man, if you don't.. well that's too bad so sad for you... |
| DAY 2224: March 22, 2016 Winter and summer are two seasons that have songs clearly associated with the time period. But are there any songs that remind you of spring? Share with us a song with a YouTube link in your blog. Not much for the video thing.... but I will say that there are a lot of song associated with those two seasons. They are both my favorites. summer comes from me being a child... summer meant no school, some of my favorite tv programs like" Ultraman" and " Gomer pyle usmc" and the like. while winter, brought Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas and new years. and since I am from the north east it always meant snow and all the fun that came with that. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| DAY 2223: March 21, 2016 Prompt: What is the best thing about spring? what is the best thing about spring? well for one thing, usually it marks the end of winter, and the awakening of life once again. or rather a rebirth, as you will, of what was already there and sleeping. It usually signals planting seas for those of us with green thumbs, or red thumbs if you are involved in writing horror and fantasy. it usually signals the rebirth of my writing. but this years seems to be different than most springs. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| DAY 1218: March 16, 2016 Prompt: You look out your front door and see a strange blue light hovering above your front yard or over the street in front of your house. Write a story about the light and what happens next. I stood there in amazement as the floating blue ball hovered in its spot. I could feel the energy it put into the air. It was energetic, and being brave, I approached the ball of energy. Inch by inch I crept up to it. I glanced around and saw all the neighbors watching me from the safety of their front windows. None decided to wander outside to see what was happening; I was the only one who seemed interested in this thing. As I crept towards the sphere, it seemed to become more energized the closer I got to it. It took me all of ten minutes to get within three feet of this thing. I reached out and was almost in contact with this thing, when a peal of thunder came rolling across the sky, shaking the very foundations of the neighborhood. Once the shaking had stopped I restarted my quest to touch the sphere before me. Suddenly, Sarah , my wife charged out of the house towards me as fast as her legs could carry her. “Stop! Charlie,” she called out,” Don’t touch that thing.” As she approached me, the sphere shot a bolt of blue lightning out of itself and struck her in the dead center of her chest knocking her ten feet across the lawn before dropping her to the ground. She was definitely alive, but in pain, and essentially rolled around on the ground in pain. I watched her roll around on the ground, unable to go and assist her, pain ripping through her body; I then resumed the march towards the sphere. I placed my hand gently on the surface of it. It was warm to the touch, but solid, not what I was expecting, the hairs on my arm started to stand on end, a very energetic feeling started coursing through my body. The next thing I remember is waking up in my bed, in the middle of the day. Sarah came in with some folded clean clothes, looked at me. “Good morning dear,” she said as she darted from the room. Unsure of what was going on, I slowly got out of bed. I grabbed clean clothes and threw them on and slowly made my way downstairs. “Sarah?” I called out because after the travel down the stairs I felt a bit weak in the knees and because I heard no sounds at all in the house. I received no response to me calling to her, so I decided to go and look for her. Slowly and steadily, I made my way room to room throughout the house, and found no trace of her. Now I was puzzled, as I know I just saw her upstairs in the bedroom, I know she is here, but I cannot find her. After about ten minutes of looking through the house in silence, I was about to give up when I heard this voice in my head. “Donald?” this voice said,” Are you there? Can you speak to me?” “Yes, “I answered, “Yes on both questions.” “Good.” It answered. “Who are you?” “Who do you want me to be?” “Who can you be?” “Anybody… anybody you want.” I glanced down at my hands and saw that they were bright blue, only where I touched the sphere earlier, and the blue was spreading so I kind of freaked out. “I’m turning blue?” I stated as I was now getting upset with the whole situation. “Yes, You are.” The voice answered. “Why?” “I don’t know.” Suddenly my body jerked as if it was being electrocuted and I woke up laying on the floor in my own house, with everybody standing around me. It took me several seconds to clear my head enough to even know where I was. I was in my own bed and to my surprise, everyone was there with smiles on their faces. They were all happy I was awake. It wasn’t until I looked down and saw my blue hands, that I began to worry. Just as I noticed I heard a laughter in the back of my head. “Welcome back,” it said. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| DAY 1216: March 14, 2016 “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” - Albert Einstein As a writer, poet, or artist what do you have to say about this statement. As a writer, and as a good thinker, self-proclamation, I actually agree with this statement. After all knowledge is definitely limited, as one can only learn so much in one lifetime, but the imagination can truly encircle the world. I always have thought that the saying is true," Science fiction produces science thought". I have thought about life in the early 1900's when people stood and looked at the moon in the sky and wondered, what it was like to be up there, and look back at us and think what was it like down here? then someone wrote a story, made a movie about it. Sometime later were were there. it is truly amazing what an imagination can dream up. after all it is why I became a writer in the first place. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| DAY 1213 March 11, 2016 Do vacations help you relax or stress you out? I sometimes have a tendency to stress out, especially if I do the vacation planning... mainly because I want things to go just the way I plan, which almost never happens.. If it is not my planning than I will be ok with this... and it will not be stressful. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
Day 1206 March 4, 2016 I was reading blogs again, thought you might find this topic interesting to discuss. Jealousy, how do we cope with our feelings when it comes to our passion, writing? As far as jealousy in my writing goes... I truly don't have much, if any, truthfully. Although I celebrate it when an author puts out a new book, story, or poem I don't let it get me jealous of their success. It just drives me harder to make my success bigger than theirs. I find that with jealousy come anger, and hatred. Lord knows I've had a lot of anger thrown my way, even a little bit of hatred, I don't return it, I turn it inward and use it to make me better. So I say let my have everything you've got, I'll use it to make me better.... Thank you very much ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| DAY 1203 March 1, 2016 Let's talk about our blogs.... Do you have commenting guidelines for your readers? Today is a great time to let them know the commenting policy for your blog (or set some new expectations).Would you read a personal blog without a comment section? How do you feel when a comment section is closed? I don't take offense to the comment section being closed, after all it is the writers blog under every single circumstance, and the blog covers what they want to say, whether it needs a comment or not. Does it make sense? not really, because if you didn't want the comments why would you make it a public thing? In all honesty, it really doesn't bother me, any more than people putting stories or writing up without giving people a star system to rate them with. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
DAY 1199 February 26,2016 Tell me what you think by using one or more of the details in a story, poem or a rant. It's your blog knock yourself out *Rolling* Comets ,and meteors for that matter, have long since been considered harbingers of evil. In peoples minds, comets have brought them bad luck, but sometimes good luck! but is the fear about them justified and real? In this writers humble opinion, no they are not. It is not any more real than the "luck" brought to you by a good luck charm (ei a lucky rabbits foot, which by the way wasn't so lucky for the rabbit, or even a 4 leaf clover). Or maybe it could even be a psychosomatic response, in other words your mind has a thought about it, and unknowingly your mind makes it happen, or in the case of games of chance it may be just random luck that you win a game. Is there any scientific proof that they are harbingers of doom, or even good luck? I would think that there isn't, I'm not even sure how you would even begin to test that theory? after all in order to test it one would have to set up and experiment, that would mean controlling everything about the test and being able to run the same test with differing scenarios, which, when we talk about comets, is kind of impossible. right? Now it is less than a month till St Patrick's day, which by the way is 2 days after the 'ides of march', on March 17. we all know what happened on the Ides of march, don't wee? how lucky was it for Caesar? or even Brutus, when he had to kill his friend? and with that I will end this rant.... for now! as it is a new day to enjoy.... good luck! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| DAY 1188: February 15, 2016 February 15 is Singles Awareness Day. Write a story, poem, or rant that begins with "Being single..." Be creative and have fun. Singles awareness day? ha, that's a new one to me. I've been with the person I'm with for 12 years, and that long of a time can change memories... I forget what it is like to be single. Which I assume is about the same thing as I'm doing now, working, then going home eating, watching tv , then to bed to get up and do it again. oh yes! the exception being is now I have someone watching over me, and before I was all alone.... not really any different. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
DAY 1184 February 12, 2016 Prompt: It's said that the cover-up is worse than the crime. Do you agree or disagree? I agree whole heartedly, and I truly do understand why. For example look at The JFK assassination, because of the cover-up people have made their own minds up about it, and it has lasted over 50 years past the actual event, and doesn't seem like it will be stopping any time soon. That is the best example I could come up with today! ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
