The facts of life... and death

I'm sitting in the hospital ... my mom is ICU... she is in the worst shape I've ever seen.. dad is beside himself with worry... I saw him kiss my mom for the first time ever.  He rarely shows affection.. I guess we all have our limits to put us out of character. I got a call earlier that she wanted to see me.. so I called in work and told them I wouldn't be in tomorrow.. gathered up my spouse and daughters.. and 2 hours later.. I'm at vanderbuilt hospital.  They all slept on the way down... my mom told me that she didn't want to be put on life support.. she has a button for pain... she's on her way downhill.. I would love to see her recover.. but I have my doubts.. at least she knows I was here.. her bp is bottoming out... and it doesn't look good.. I would do anything to give her a longer time.. but she has so many tubes in her... and is in such pain.. it might be best for her to go..  she even says she is ready to go... I will miss her... but it is like everyone else.. they leave.. I just have to accept the facts of life... and death

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...

Everyone has an agenda.

How do we know how what repercussions will arise tomorrow from our actions.  I am atop my tower... watching the world from up here.. I see so much lies and deceit from up here.. I honestly do trust a few people now.. to a varying degree.. I just don't know when they can be sucked into a situation.. or do things they wouldn't normally do... based on misinformation.. or their perception.. I see so many people get tricked.. into making poor decisions.. People are gullible. The world is full of traps and deception. I think sometimes people get the idea that life is a game.. that dating requires intimacy... I see people start into online relationships.. and they figure that the first thing on the agenda is to explore the sexual chemistry... online relationships.. if they're truely ever going to mean anything.. need to be treated like real life.. you don't just jump into bed with someone you are just getting to know..  the online world.. moves at a much slower pace.. as far a...

Words are powerful instruments... the ones we use.. the way we say them... we can use words to hurt.. help.. or even distance ourselves from others.... My two least favorite words are fine... and whatever. VERY passive aggressive words... When I hear these words.. I almost always go defensive.. and get somewhat irritated... People say "fine"... when they mean... "no.. it's not ok... but I'm too pissed to argue.. but you better figure it out because I'm going to stay pissed"  ...and  "whatever" ...the meaning... pretty much the same... but just slightly more active... meaning.... I'm so pissed off right now at it that I can't think of a good argument.. but just the same.. you'll hear about this later.  I heard these words in some of my past relationships... but only when someone wanted me to know that ...I was wrong but they weren't going to argue it at that point.  Now.. I'm to the point.. if you tell me "whatever"...
