The Dream

It’s no secret that I’m on FaceBook, like many, many other people. I joined a little while ago, mainly for networking with family and friends, some of which I’ve not seen or heard from in quite a while. Friends come and go on the contact lists there, usually for [...]

Taking the vow

This blog entry is dedicated to one thing: vowing for peace in this violent world of which we live (assuming you’re not a visiting alien from another planet – to those people I say, Welcome, and if you want to blow something up, go next door, thanks! *grin*). To continue, I am taking my own [...]

Signs you might be a Twitterholic

I’m not sure why, and I’m sure it’s been done before, but I feel like blogging about Twitter tonight. I came up with this list off the top of my head and just felt compelled to share. For better or worse…here we go!Signs you might be a Tweet-a-holic / Twitter-holic / Addicted to Twitter…you know [...]

The Path from Weekend Wordsmith

OMG, I’m writing poetry again, thanks to one of regular inspirational sources, the Weekend Wordsmith. This week, Rich posted a picture of a Path. I’m not sure why, but here’s where my mind conjured at first look…okay, maybe second look (first look, I thought, “dirty stones” – hah!):

Stroll down memory lane

No surprise to people that know me, but I was a bit of a tomboy growing up. It’s not that I don’t like pretty things, dolls, dressing up, etc. (shoes are still good accessories absolutely-necessary-goods to get if one has the cash), so I still was a girlie-girl [tee-hee]. But, I also have liked playing [...]

All about the nonsense

Bow-chicka-wow-wow! It’s Limericks Day! It’s a day to write/read/say “fun” poems in honor of Edward Lear’s birthday [May 12th], whom wrote all sorts of nonsense. I’ve enjoyed his writings since before I could analyze them to death [for various literature classes]. So, to celebrate the day, I’ve written some more of [...]

Another season opens!

It’s the start of another season! [Major League] Baseball, of course. Opening Day is today, Monday, April 6th, and hopes are high for another interesting year, maybe without a steroid dabacle even. Dare we dream? Indeed, it’s the stuff the Houston Astros are made of…dreams (for we have little else at the moment, but who [...]

Play on, musicians

Being a musician, it seems a rare moment when I don’t fully analyze the music of which I’m listening and just enjoy what I hear. Thanks to Marco Mazzini for providing one of those moments.

The good, the bad, and the wtf

Wow, another week is gone, and another round of random thoughts have been added to fritter around in my fricasseed brain. I’d blog more about them, but they tend to pop in at random intervals, so we just have to wait for “poppage”.
Good news of the week: a mystery has been solved! Awhile ago, [...]
