Well, it's been a good run.  But I've decided to discontinue this blog. 
There are those that I'll miss a lot.  But between work being crazy and not being on the computer when I'm home, I just don't have time for it.

I'll keep the account for about a week if you want to send me a PM, and I have a FB account, so if you want to keep in touch with me, there are ways. 

Keep listening to good music; love yourself and others fully and completely; keep living life without apology.  It's too short to be miserable or for regret.

Peace.

But I had done this one back in March.
I think my favorite is still
time is never wasted being me

Hey...everyone who hasn't done it yet - tag, you're it.  ;)
 

How do you feel about your birthday?  Do you look forward to it and remind all your friends, or do you dread it and try to keep it a secret?

I used to care a lot about my birthday.  My family would celebrate birthdays for a month or more and it was a big deal.  I still enjoy the day - I don't dread any of them (and was, in fact, honestly carded when I bought a beer tonight - not bad for 36 almost 37) and think it's just a number.  Age is what I feel, and, to quote Bob Dylan, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."

Presents are nice, but I, in line with my life philosophy, expect nothing from anyone.

I'm fucking, totally, absolutely, completely fucking done.

That is all.

Respect has room for secrets but not for lies.
- Diana Gabaldon

Well, I'm rereading one of my favorite books, Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.  It is, for the most part, brain candy, and then, every so often, like the bubblegum in a blow pop, a gem shows up.  This one, while not outstanding writing, is an idea that I've never heard or seen, but is one so basic that I had to reread it several times. 

One of the things I've learned about myself is that I used to want to know everything about someone.  If I let you in to my world, I wanted to be your complete confidant, the person to whom you told everything.  Now, I didn't necessarily tell you everything about me; actually there was no way I was telling you everything, you know, my walls. 

I've come to understand that secrets are ok.  That no one needs to know everything about anyone.  (say that sentence three times fast) That as long as there's respect, secrets are expected and accepted. 

But it took brain candy to put it into words.
Go figure.

Show us your favorite winter activity.

Hmmmm...these are too easy.  I wonder what HP is setting us up for.  As for showing you my favourite winter activity.  I think I'll keep the public side of this blog PG-13 thankyewverymuch.

What's on your holiday wishlist?

Same thing that was on last year:  to be divorced and sell the house.

What are your irrational fears? 
Submitted by Dan Culhane.  

Hmmm....aren't most fears irrational?  I mean, most fear death, many fear life, all fear loss of all kinds.  And there's not a whole lot we can do about any of that.  We live - and if you're unafraid of it, life is pretty damn good.  We all die - so there's no point to being afraid of it.  And to live well, we are all going to experience loss.  So to be afraid of any of that is kind of pointless.  Accept it and as long as you grow from it, then it's nothing to be afraid of.

Ok.  Now.  That said, I am paralytically afraid of tornadoes.  Go figure.
