A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in Northern Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read. One morning, the husband returns after several hours of fishing, and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book. Along comes a

What am I doing caring about politics, anyway?

2004-10-16T10:01:00.000+02:00

Gosh, just when I get all nonchalant about this stupid election and everything...something reminds me. Oh, yeah. It's my ass on the line, really. I asked someone the other day, during a discussion about Barbara Nitke and her battle against Ashcroft, why I should care if John Ashcroft is anybody's friend or not. "Because you're a hedonistic, sadomasochistic, bisexual, MILITARY promoter of porn and

To Draft or Not To Draft?

2004-10-14T14:04:00.000+02:00

You know...every time I take a peek at my entire blog, going back over some of my older posts, I wince almost painfully. I know I'm not much of a political individual and I am embarassed to say that I'm not even voting just because I can't decide upon the lesser of the two evils. And all this crap about how women should vote because of all the angst and torture and hard work women in the past

Did ya miss me?

2004-10-10T21:52:00.000+02:00

Well, hell. I've been pretty darned busy. You could even call me one busy beaver. And it's not that I haven't really thought about blogging, but...just disinterested and distracted. So many other things going on. But then I got to thinking about it. With so many other things going on...why not put them here to share? Yeah, I've got all the little communities and stuff that I'm a member of to

2004-07-15T09:43:00.000+02:00

So many strange things have been going on. I've been discussing my writing/work with someone and I think I'm on the right track now. There's just one thing that makes me nervous when I write like I am. I'm feeling very vulnerable. Yes, there's that little fear of rejection when I submit what I've done, but...I think I fear actually being accepted more. Because what I've written is VERY personal.

Okay...I appologize.

2004-07-06T10:54:00.000+02:00

I'm sorry for that rant and rave there in the last segment. I'm also sorry that I haven't been able to update on a regular basis. I want to update now to my little soul's content. It's just that I am strapped for time. Not even in a good way. lol. It doesn't even keep me out of trouble like it should. So...here's what I'm going to do. I've got several EXCELLENT days worth of blogging left to do

What the fuck?!?

I'll be going to another concert next weekend. The Wuerzburg University is hosting MTV Campus Invasion and I've just GOT to go. Unfortunately...that's the same day as the Mozart festival at the Residenz, but I can't be at both places at the same time, no matter how good I think I am. So...I'm meeting up with my friend Nicole and we're making an evening of it. Unfortunately, tomorrow night is *

Forever and a day later...

2004-06-21T15:02:00.000+02:00

Well...wow. Yeah, so much has been going on. I've got a little spare time and motivation to post a little update, so here goes. I sure did go to that ROCKamRing festival and only had to go to the Emergency Room once. Not bad considering. The drive over was uneventful UNTIL I actually got there. Sat parked in traffic for about an hour watching the already drunken party-goers pissing on the side

Just a day or so away...

2004-06-02T11:23:00.000+02:00

Oh, did I mention that I'm going to ROCKamRING? Yeah, I thought so. lol I leave tomorrow night. Wanna know what sucks, though? Rain. Yeah, you guessed it. It's supposed to be those annoyingly inconvenient scattered rain showers for the next few days, which means it'll be a muddy mess and will never really dry out. Alas, I'll just have to drink that much more to stay warm, right? And I've seen the

I absolutely despise these computer programs sometimes. I'll write and write and write, and then boom! All of my work gone when it says the damned thing encountered a problem and has to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. Argh!!! Anyway, I didn't get that DeSade record. Don't think I didn't pout to Laura personally for that one, but I did get the John Preston book and some Mercedes Lackey. Why,

And I'm still holding my breath!

2004-05-14T11:27:00.000+02:00

Oooohhh...I'm finally able to relax a little bit, having won the bidding for a copy of Laura Antoniou's "Looking For Mr. Preston" books. Why, you may be asking, did I want a copy of this book, exactly? I know, I know, I'm hardly old..er...experienced enough to have been aware of John "back in the day", and I'm not exactly a poster-child for gay-rights movements, but...I'm a writer. I write lots

Here's the generalized "scoop"...

I feel as though I've been drawn into the political mine field as of lately. Being over here in Germany, with soooo many of my friends and even relatives deployed over in Iraq right now, it's no wonder I'm scared and nervous and curious about how this year's election will go. Apparently, it's Bush/Kerry. That's it. That's it? WTF!? OK, don't get me wrong...I pulled for Bush in the last election,

Oh, I like it!

I definately like it. Ok, now...about me. Here's the scoop. I've about abandoned all things that I used to obsess myself with.

It's amazing to me how bi-polar our society seems. We're a wishy washy bunch that too easily and too soon forget. I don't know what you were all doing the day that the terrorists took over the world, but I know alot of people were crying. Sad, fearful, mournful, angry, vengeful, furious, downright pissed kind of crying going on. The world...OUR world wanted answers, action, and a solution. OK,

Oh, the Blahs.

I've been feeling very much in a rut and trampled. Nothing in particular, just an overall feeling of melancholy. I've been doing alot of serious thinking about my life and where's it's going and, well...I need to make a few little adjustments, I think. I've started my story (finally) and hope to submit bits and pieces to someone for critical analysis. That makes me nervous as hell. Why does that

"So my question would be... what the fuck do I care if gay people want to be married?" An ehowa eureka! Yes, very good question, indeed. This article is something I stumbled upon and while I can't say Im proud of the source, I'm very proud to know that there are still semi-rational people out there somewhere, some of the time. I give a gracious tip o' the hat to this guy for publically voicing

While most polls indicate that the majority of Americans oppose same-sex marriages, MTV research indicates that voters aged 18 to 24 actually support giving gay couples the right to marry. Kerry says marry? Over here in Germany, serving with our nation's army, I haven't exactly been up to date with the current events and frankly haven't has the slightest inclination towards any of the

What's wrong with me, you ask? I've got a severe case of writer's block/performance anxiety lately. I seem to be that way about everything. People, my writing, my work, and even family. I keep putting things off, thinking that I'll have a lightning-quick jolt of brilliance that will inspire me and motivate me. I'm still waiting on that. But till then, I figured there was no time like the present

2004-03-13T17:46:00.000+01:00

I'm about to do something a little (ok, alot) different with Calling Cadence here. I haven't been entirely satisfied with the way it's turning out. I had originally intended to post quips and quotes here, but it's become more of an outlet for my venting. I don't really want it to continue in that fashion, so...I'm going to do something that I've been thinking about for a while now. I write. I

Hmm...it's all in the coffee.

2004-03-13T11:33:00.000+01:00

So much of my life revolves around coffee. Is that sad? I catch the word somewhere and boom! I'm taken to another lifestyle, another time and place. So, anyway...that's probably not going to make so much sense to most, but if you're like me, then you'll just "get it". Here's the latest scoop on the tasty beverage, btw...all in my favor, too! http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/03/10/1078594430622

Yay me. *groans and rolls eyes* I, of all friggin' people, contracted one of the biggest and most harmful computer viruses out there (or at least that's what I'm told). So now I have to wait for some guy to come out and totally obliterate my computer system to eradicate it. I figure I'll lose all the files that are

I'm gonna end up dishing out the mega-money to have the fat German guy come out and hook it up for me. At least I'll have phone and internet. *sigh/shrug* But...I'm too exhausted to care at this point. The good

Kinda neat. Now we're just getting this

OK, blogging has been pretty low on my list of priorities lately. Right down there with Gang-Wars, unfortunately. The January round is just about up and then I'll hop back into action as my wunderbunny self. My life has exploded with activity the past month and if the rest of the year follows suit, it'll be over again before I know it. Friday nights at the Lab (http://www.laby.de/), I think,

http://www.colmberg.de This is a great site. Lovely place. This is to be the location of the annual winter gathering. I think I may actually attend this one. I'm not sure about an overnight hiatus, but I'm seriously thinking about it. It snowed all day yesterday, but all there is to show for it is slushiness and ick. It's been an interesting weekend, for sure. Friday was a blast, walking all

And I'm back at work. It's a bit comforting that some things just never change. lol. And it's a kaffee und joghurt auf heidelbeere morgen. :) One week-ish and all will be silence around here. :( It's off to the land of sand for so many of my friends. I heard the other day (on Christmas, no less) that one of my family was going too. My cousin (the silly bastard) had reinlisted last year after a 6

Well today was a most interesting day. Can't say if it was entirely good and wholesome, but...interesting. Let's see...I woke up (rather late, almost 9am), found food and caffeine, showered, did some laundry (so I'd have pants to wear, lol), left for my tattoo appointment, had a fantastic lunch at a popular mexican food restaurant in Kitzingen, shopped for a couple movies...books...etc, came home

Well, it is me again! I've survived another cheery holiday season with gusto and guts. I only hope that all my friends and family have done as well and from what I've heard from some so far, they've done just that. I honestly say, though...the highlight of my week has occurred within the past couple of hours. I had the most thought-provoking and challenging discussion with a friend of mine. It's

2003-12-24T10:13:00.000+01:00

I've determined that I'm just as homesick as ever, only putting on the cheerful "Happy Holiday" masque. I guess it's easy enough to fake the funk for a while. I just want to go home, though. I miss being able to communicate and explore. (I think it's the lack of personal and private time and space right now, this "mood" of mine) Sure...there's plenty to see and do over here. Till closing time.

And there was pizza. And we called it pie. And it was good. And there was much rejoicing. *crowds cheering in the background* I have no idea what to do with this blog. I got one of those nifty, thrifty templates that looks really cool when visiting its homesite. Only problem is...I'm retarded and can't figure out how to change the format/template without really screwing it up. And "IF" I get it

2003-12-23T08:50:00.000+01:00

I blog, therefore I am. *sigh* I've got a few leisurely moments here to dwell on my life and whatever consequences my existence provides hence. I got one of my Christmas presents early, cause I was complaing (well, not really complaining, but commenting lamentably) about not having any reading material. I've been picking through the "classics" lately. Why? Cause I can. I get strange looks and

2003-12-22T13:05:00.000+01:00

Oh, my god!!! The snow!! Yay! Finally! (note the childish and ecstatic delight) It's comming down in torrents (can snow really torrent, I dunno), and things are covering up quick. I'm nearly glued to my window in my office; I just love this stuff! And that's about it for now. lol. Just had to say a little something about it.

2003-12-22T09:21:00.000+01:00

Hmm...what to write about today... I'm at work, and it's yet another Monday, but things are running smoothly (so far, but it's still early). I *did* manage to get my book finished by the end of the week! Yay! I'm not a failure in that department, afterall! LOL. It had a strange ending, considering the way the story was written, and I think I missed a transition somewhere, but oh, well. It made

2003-12-16T20:09:00.000+01:00

Well, today was another day gone in a whirlwind. I did manage to get my lunch hour, which consisted of waiting for pizza and reading my book (cause remember...I *need* to finish it by the end of the week). I seem to have taken a keenly political interest in *gasp* feminism? I really don't even understand why, but I'm addicted to learning what's out there and well...who's side I need to be on. I

2003-12-15T21:44:00.000+01:00

OK, I've been browsing through...seeing what everyone else has going on with their blogs and I am finding that I really need to revamp my own. I think that in order to have it the way I truly want it, I'll end up paying for it. Just like everything else. I guess you get what you pay for. lol. Anyway...I haven't had the time to do hardly anything, as usual, but I'll get back to my journal

From someone that opened my eyes to my own life, Alain. I can't put much explanation to these here and now, but they are all so very good for me. I keep em around to remind me of when. Just when and why. *"Wherever you go, whatever you do, you will have a little smile and a thought of me." "Mean, cruel, evil, and Sir." "Do it trembling, if you must, but do it!" "A tiny box arrived.

I first started my journal (Yeah, the old-fashioned kind with real paper and the wire binding and ink and all that good stuff) with the idea that one day, when I own my little coffee shop in some quaint and comfortable nook of nostalgic eastern America, I'd have this marvelous collection of quotes from all over the place that I could have stenciled on the walls that would inspire thought and

2003-12-10T12:50:00.000+01:00

Well, hello. This is my very first Blog post and well...bear with me if I ramble or seem somewhat disorganized at first. I suppose this is where I will start keeping my ever-growing collection of thought-worthy quotes and my own meandering opinions. I even piss myself off sometimes, so if there's ever anything you don't like, please feel free to let me know. Of course, I *always* love positive
