Blue Skies Ahead.

Sometimes life gets difficult... but most of the time... we just perceive it as being difficult because it's not what we want or expect.  But no matter how we look at it... we're just passengers in this vehicle and need to enjoy the ride as it traverses the road of life. The road today was pretty smooth. It was the first day back for the students where I teach. My throat is still a bit sore... I'm hoping it gets better this weekend.... I was going to Baltimore to visit some old friends... but I think I'll have to postpone that until their next visit... I'm sure they'll have plenty to keep themselves busy without me. No hinting at sympathy there... I just want to spend a quiet weekend alone... I didn't get much of a break after my dad left. I am hoping to roll with whatever punches 2017 throws at me... but I'm still looking for it to be a pretty good year. I am certain a surprise or two lies just around the corner... and I'm going to welcome each new thing unless it tries to push me down... even then... I'll just ride it out. Hopefully that won't be the case. If I can muster enough positive energy, I'm certain any "difficult" issue will be a blessing to build my character. I've been told at times I'm quite a character already... I love my interaction with almost everyone since I've moved to this new area... that's been 2 years now... and I'm happier now than I've ever been. I see nothing but blue skies ahead...

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

Stay Out Of Things Where I Don't Belong.

I am starting to get used to the hours... I think... who knows.. one day I feel like I was drug out of my bed kicking and screaming... other days I feel like I've been poured full of coffee and energy drinks... I've cut down on my morning coffee by the way... Oh... I didn't blog about that... after first moving here, I started drinking flavored coffee in the mornings... but I've decided I don't want to get dependent on that.... I still have the occasional coffee... but as I've said before... too much of anything is a bad idea... so I cut back.  I also decided to give up something for Lent... I might have blogged about it... but I tried to think of something that would be a sacrifice.. so I gave up masturbation.  I know that's not really in the spirit of Lent... as far as giving up something like that... but hey... I can't think of many other things I enjoy more... especially with my sex life as it is... I sorta don't have the inspiration at this poi...
