By Kiki Keane and Rachel Womek
Well. Here we are again. It's goal time. Maybe this week we will actually accomplish something! (Kiki is trying to be positive, here.)
I think it's obvious that I accomplished nothing the last two weeks. Unless you count watching four seasons of Psych and two movies an accomplishment, in which case I would be golden!
1) Finish a book. Any book. 2) Read some trip related literature 3) Cut down on TV watching (except the news) 4) Figure out that Visa thing 5) Smile once a day. A real smile.
I read The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest and I watched a ton of movies this weekend, well three movies and one 10 hour mini series which I think counts as a movie since mini series are basically really long movies and are usually put out on DVD as such. Other than that I have been useless.
1) Finish a book…after finishing The Girl With The DragonTattoo trilogy I have been in a reading slump 2) Watch a movie 3) Be of general good cheer 4) Leave prank messages on the topic of hairy balls on various friend's phones
Joint Goals
1) Don't be depressed 2) Study Arabic
Other Stuff:
As you probably know, Egypt elected it's very first president the other day. Morsi (and the Muslim Brotherhood) is the Big Man now. We hope it doesn't impact our trip in a negative way. Here and here is the latest from MSNBC. Also, here and here is some analysis on what it means for Egypt and for America and the world.
In Iraq news, 43 news outlets have been forced to close due to issues with broadcast licensing.
There is a new Anna Karenina coming out soon. Kiki is super excited. They better not mess it up. In preparation for this, we and our friend, Dulce, will be reading (or rereading) the book. Wish us luck.
We also discovered that Odd Thomas will be made into a movie soon. Kiki is moderately excited about this piece of information.
Also exciting: Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider plan to make an announcement regarding the search for the Higg's Boson at the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Australia! Rachel is very excited about this, Kiki on the other hand doesn't give a crap.

Before I started writing this post I was sourcing murder scene images and oh boy – I wish I hadn't.
When you write murder mystery fiction you want it to be real, hard and gritty. NOT – "he gently placed the cushion on her face and rested his weight upon it" –
I personally have never even seen a crime scene of any description and although I have an imagination that would shock you, looking at said images and following the links to the stories is disturbing. As is much of my research.
In The Lavender Field, the targets are children and in the real world the young are not spared from gruesome atrocities – are they?
But how far is far enough?
Obviously I don't want to reveal the methods my killer is using before the book is published but reading back over some of it I am starting to wonder if parts of it are just too much.
I know, and so do you, that Detective Inspector Victoria MacPherson is a figment of my overworked brain but the motivation that carries her forward is a reality for some people.
And. I really do not know how it is possible to show respect for their losses and suffering and write the book I have written.
Anyway enough of that or I will delete the whole thing.
If you write crime, particularly murder then please do hook up with me because I so need a sounding board and despite searching I have found very few blogs dedicated to the topic.
For the sake of our sanity – basic crime scene images – From Google.

"The Postwar Filipino Novel in English": Guest talk with P.J. Nadal
"Two Paths for the Filipino Novel After Import-Substitution"
What is the relation between the movement to strengthen the Philippine peso and the search for "the Great Filipino Novel" in the 1950s? How did notions of "sovereignty" and "equilibrium" in the economic sphere inform notions of "aesthetic autonomy" and "organic unity" in the literary sphere? Join the Filipino & Philippine Studies Working Group for P.J. Nadal's talk, which focuses on the influence of New Criticism in N. V. M. Gonzalez's The Bamboo Dancers (1959) and Nick Joaquin's The Woman Who Had Two Navels(1961). Nadal argues that Gonzalez and Joaquin exemplify two novelistic responses to the rapid, but short-lived, postwar industrialization of the Philippines. His talk will demonstrate how these authors' contrasting prose styles issue from an artistic effort to redirect the Filipino anglophone novel's social referent from the previously dominant hacienda agricultural system to the middle class-empowered industrial economy that consolidated itself under import-substituting industrialization.
Paul Nadal is a doctoral candidate in Rhetoric at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is completing his dissertation, "Remittance Fiction: Human Labor Export, Realism, and the Filipino Novel in English." He is also a visiting faculty member at The New School's Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts in New York City.

An Easy Bake Oven! He loves it. He is on the phone sharing his news, he gets that from me.
Hey, he looks like his dad, walks like his dad, and acts like his dad. He has to get something from me. Well......... actually, he does not like to talk on the phone. He keeps his conversations very brief. This one was something like, "I got an Easy Bake oven, I got to go cook, love you, bye".
Maybe one day I will get a glimpse of something he gets from me.
Oh wait.....
A little funniness mixed in with quirkiness and drama, yea, he does get that from me. He is mine. Yea, and I have a scar to prove it too.
Between mud fights and mutton bustin', I am going to do everything I can to cultivate his love of cooking. I plan to turn all cooking over to him when he turns 10. Now, if I can teach Little Buckaroo to do laundry, I am going to have some time on my hands.
I must also point out how impressed I am with my rough, tough gun-toting park ranger for stepping out and getting the Easy Bake Oven for him. I know he picked it up and put it down about 20 times before biting the bullet and buying his son an oven. He said at least it is blue and not pink. Yea honey, whatever you need to think to make yourself feel better.
Going to look up child labor laws,
The Park Wife

Transfer news: AZ sign Muamer Tankovic on free transfer
Last Updated: 26/06/14 2:40pm
AZ have signed Muamer Tankovic on a free transfer after the forward's contract with Fulham ran out at the end of last season.

The 19-year-old Swede featured in three Premier League games for Fulham, but was not offered a new contract when his original deal ran out.
Dutch club AZ have now recruited Tankovic on a contract that runs until June 2019.
AZ have also signed Guus Hupperts from Roda JC, who suffered relegation from the Eredivisie at the end of last season.
The 22-year-old winger cost the Alkmaar-based club for approximately €1million and has signed a contract that runs until June 2018.

FDIC Board Approves Appraisal Threshold Increase for CRE Transactions
Posted on 3/21/2018
The FDIC board of directors yesterday approved a final rule to raise the appraisal thresholds for commercial real estate transactions from $250,000 to $500,000 -- an increase from the original proposal, which called for the appraisal threshold to be raised to $400,000. The threshold for loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties will remain at $250,000; however, residential construction loans secured by multiple one-to-four residential properties would be considered CRE transactions. The final rule must now be approved by the Federal Reserve and the OCC; once approved by the agencies, it will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
Progress is slow and incremental, but we do want to recognize FDIC for actually listening to commentators, including NDBA and bankers, who asserted the proposed relief at $400,000 was insufficient. FDIC's positive movement also demonstrates the value of a late fall, Bismarck meeting among NDBA, North Dakota bankers, the department of financial institutions and other mortgage lenders and senior officials from FDIC, and other bank regulators. There, mortgage lenders spoke frankly about the need for relief from overly burdensome appraisal requirements and how the rules hurt potential borrowers. It is not enjoyable to write comment letters but it is good to know that sometimes, at least, our input does improve the result.

"Paranormalice" was pure fucking genius and a surprise to a critic that hasn't been this impressed with a film in quite some time. I have some favorites but this film came out of nowhere with unique vision and some pretty good stories that were told well.
This Anthology is about a Writer that travels to Mosswood, Alabama in to learn more about a story that has peaked his interest. He stops at a motel and begins asking the desk clerk about the story, the desk clerk pretty much tells the Writer that he won't get far asking the people about anything other than a few particular subjects and they all have nothing to do with what the Writer wanted to know.
The clerk goes on telling 4 tales, and each of these tales has their own unique points about them that make them all really fucking awesome! The writing is done with some serious thought and you can tell it was planned out well and executed in a way that grabbed my attention! I figure I will give you a brief description of each of the stories told without giving anything away..
1: A guy walks into a bar……
2: New neighbors are fucking awesome…..
4: The beauty just may be the beast…
To close, I just want to say this was an amazing job and it has definitely been my pleasure being able to review this film! The writing and acting were all on point and I couldn't have asked for anything to have been done any differently! – I highly recommend this film!!!

the love letter series: number four
One year for Valentine's Day we decided to treat ourselves. We got a hotel room in Century City and ate nacho cheese Doritos and drank champagne in our underwear. We abandoned our garage and air mattress in Venice for clean sheets and a king bed and a shower without spiders. We listened to your new mixes in your old car and we laughed like kids without a thought of our nonexistent future.
This Valentine's Day, I'm treating us to forgiveness. I forgive you for selling all my furniture on Craigslist then trying to abandon me 3 days later - when I had already quit my job and booked a one-way plane ticket to move with you across the country. I forgive you for staying out all night with your toxic friends abusing your body and our relationship and never standing up for me. I forgive you for blaming me for the downfall of your career. I forgive you for using me to have a roof over your head and for validation because your insecurities would have eaten you alive without me. I forgive you for exploiting our relationship through heartbreaking lyrics when I never got to explain my side of the story in a public setting. I forgive you for lying about your secret life in the desert – while you claimed to be in the depths of creation, you were doing many, many other things. I know what all of those things are now - believe me. I forgive you talking down to me, for being emotionally abusive, and for manipulating me to become dependent on you because it made you feel good. I forgive you for ditching me in random cities to talk to other girls because you knew I'd be there no matter what. I forgive you dragging me along for years because you didn't have enough courage to end things when you wanted freedom. I forgive you for sabotaging our chance at a friendship for a 19 year-old set of tits that smoked cigarettes. I forgive you for still thinking about me and for looking me up on social media because you are always going to think about me and how I was the best thing that had ever happened to you.
I forgive you because love was enough for me.
I forgive you because I've finally moved on.
The Love Letter Series is a personal tribute to people that hold a little piece of my heart. These letters aren't necessarily about love; they're dedicated to long relationships, short encounters, romanticized memories, heartbreaking losses, longing, and forgiveness - all without a name mentioned. Vulnerability is a feeling I've long avoided, so these letters are an intimate look inside my highly guarded heart.

Most of these require only a few common ingredients:
Baking Soda
Lemon Juice
Hydrogen Peroxide
Microwave and Slow Cooker Cleaner
Cut a lemon in half and squeeze a little juice into a large microwave safe bowl (or slow cooker).
Add the lemon halves and a few cups of water.
For Microwave, just zap it for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Everything should wipe effortlessly outathere.
For slow cooker, turn on high for a good bit (I just left it for a couple hours which was probably longer than necessary). This is great especially you have an older slow cooker which doesn't have a removable bowl.
Frontloader Washer Cleaner
Between the two adults, one cloth diaper-wearing child, and two big old dogs in this house,
I found this great post on maintenance and a cleaning solution using baking soda and vinegar.
I didn't use bleach on mine, although that is recommended if you have a lot of mold build up... ick. I hate even typing that.
Bathroom Cleaner
A lot of shower and tub cleaner can be pretty caustic... not a fan.
So here is the miracle recipe to avoid bleach and other fumey products...
Are you ready? 2 parts baking soda, 1 part hydrogen peroxide.
Yeah, I know. Complicated.
|Is my tub new, you ask? No! just really REALLY clean. :)
Scrub (honestly, I barely had to even scrub mine), rinse, done.
This got my tub cleaner than soft scrub. Cleaner than bleach. Cleaner than anything!
No joke. Looks like new.
Grout Cleaner
Our kitchen and bathrooms are all tiled with ridiculously wide grout lines. The kitchen is also the path for people and dogs from the back yard, so my grout gets pretty gross.
I found this recipe, and gave it a whirl. And yes, it worked better than the expensive fancy special grout cleaner that I got from the home improvement store, using only baking soda, vinegar, water, and lemon juice.
*you can also use ammonia, but that makes me sick even when I use all the necessary precautions.
So there you have it. Those are some of my favorites so far.
I'll let you know if I find any more gems.
There are more on my Pinterest board "natural cleaning" (please note that I haven't tried all of them out)
Anyone out there have a fav? Please share!

1 Corinthians 16:2 ESV / 18 helpful votes
On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.
2 Corinthians 9:6 ESV / 13 helpful votes
The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
In the last episode of Potential Millionaire, I not only discussed the importance of saving money, but also exactly how much money to save and where to save it. Let's be certain to understand that we save money not to hoard it or lord it over others, but actually to act as good stewards and thankful recipients of God's bounty. There are a number of Biblical Scripture passages that support my point. First, let's take 1 Corinthians 16:2, which states that "On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come." 1 Corinthians is advocating exactly what I discussed last week- that we must diligently set aside money to save each and every time we have income. No matter the size of the amount saved- it is the action of retaining that piece of our income before we do our spending that really allows us to accumulate wealth. The Bible instructs us to live by conserving what we have, not only in times of distress, but every day. When we save daily and weekly, we grow our savings so that in our times of need we can rely on ourselves. We can help ourselves because we have an emergency fund, and we can enjoy life to a fuller extent because we can save for our goals and attain them. Would you like to go on vacation? Buy a new car? A television? These are things that can be saved for too- so that when the day comes that we have enough, we can proudly purchase these items using God's bounty- and not the credit of a lender.
2 Corinthians has more to instruct us with about saving. 2 Corinthians 9:6 states, "The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." The Bible is telling us that we must make a conscious effort to care for, save, and then yes, use, God's bountiful gifts. But only those who put in the time and effort will see the fruit of their labors. There is no get rich quick scheme that is sustaining- there is no magic pill for success. Friends, what I am advocating is nothing more than good, honest work both outside and inside your household. It takes work to make a budget and follow it. It takes work to work to save money. It takes effort and discipline to do these things. Yes, everyone has millionaire potential, and the Bible provides us with the directions on how to achieve it: Carefully saving, diligently working, and gratefully watching over our households and money. These are the keys for unlocking our millionaire potential.

|So the holidays have come and passed. Kaleb is 8, Karis is 6, Eliseo is five. FIVE. And Emilio is 2 1/2. Let us not forget the 1/2, else he'll turn into a "mean alligator" again and bite my boob.
I've been gone awhile. But I've got myself moved into a new house, with a new puppy, new inspiration, and a lot of new shoes.
Yes; things are good.
The photo is me and Mealy on Christmas, ft. one of his many motorcycles - they're his fav. Although he much prefers to call them "mexicos."
Why? because he can, that's how he rolls, and with a name like Emilio you'd just better be crossing your fingers, toes, and ankles in hopes that he isn't packing heat.
The holidays gave me a ton of time to think and observe all of the things that were/are important to me. Family, friends, things I've lost and things I've recovered.
See, I love my life right now. But I definitely miss the way things used to be.
Some things at least.
(my uncle Jamie carries on an innocent conversation with my grandma, Christmas '09.)
(he's about to find out what I've been doing.)
If you're reading this, I love you.
And if you're still hanging around, I miss you.
If you haven't given up, I'm still here.
And if you're sorry, I am too.
But if you're happy, I'm happy.
So happy.
Hope everyone is well!

As a tip, why not go through your clothes. Get rid of things you aren't wearing any more and look at the condition of the rest. Press a collar or two, mend a tear and do a bit of shopping as needed. Looking pretty is good for the self image and for our sweet husbands.
A dress that zips up the back will bring a husband and wife together.

Ah, three exams down two to go, and I can't say how well I've done if I'm honest. I'm beyond terrible in exam conditions, with my mind suddenly blanking not registering that the entire year has been leading up to this moment. I doubt the examiners will take this into account unfortunately.
Anyway, enough about exams as I realise I have rambled on about this non stop.
Here are some of my recent favourite lookbook looks:

Not to go on about this, but I absolutely have to share these amazing bikes from Holland's Van Hulsteijn.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure about the history of this frame style; it's like a more, um, pornographic version of a Y-Foil. (Similarly, I'd been meaning to write-up Ian Sutton's seat tube-less "Leviathan" frame for a while now.)
I'm particularly curious about the standover height of the convex top tube—i.e., shouldn't the seatposts be higher to compensate? (This also means it won't work with the TiGr lock...)
Van Hulsteijn's Bob Waardenburg tells the legend (paraphrased by yours truly):Locally, Herman van Hulsteijn is already known for his cyclone bikes. Herman sometimes even has a difficult time sitting in a bar because everyone wants to know about the bike. Of course, the upshot of all this attention is that Herman has met a lot of people who knew a lot of things he didn't know. He's been asking these people if they wanted to do some stuff for him—first for free, with the promise that he would pay for them one day...
This way, Herman surrounded himself with a lot of highly motivated knowledge and craftsmanship... resulting in a business evolving around a creative mastermind who has surrounded himself with cunning hard working people. You can imagine that we all worked as hard as possible to make Vanhulsteijn a successful company with high quality bicycles, otherwise we would have never would have been able to repay all our collaborators.
The photos are beautiful, yet they somehow suggest that a .jpg doesn't do it justice. Any chance a Core reader has had the pleasure of riding—or even seeing—one of these?
It goes without saying that the components—vintage or otherwise—are also top-of-the-line.
Watching this automated candy bar packaging machine made by Bosch, I was struck by how much it was like watching parts of a Formula 1 race:It also makes me think superhighways would be cool to drive on if you could shut the car off entirely, and the highway itself—in the...
Congratulations to New Jersey-based bike enthusiast John Loughlin, whose "TiGr" bike lock just crossed the threshold for funding on Kickstarter.It's a simple concept: the TiGr is a titanium bow that is secured with a pick-resistant cylinder to form a closed loop around the wheels and lower part of the frame...

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Supreme Court says the government can't refuse to register trademarks that are considered offensive.
The ruling Monday is a win for an Asian-American rock band called the Slants and it gives a major boost to the Washington Redskins in a separate legal fight over the team name.
The justices said part of a law that bars the government from registering disparaging trademarks violates free speech rights.
The Slants tried to trademark the name in 2011, but the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office denied the request on the ground that the name disparages Asians. A federal appeals court in Washington later said the law barring offensive trademarks is unconstitutional.
The Redskins made similar arguments after the trademark office canceled the team's trademark in 2015.

Howdy folks. Wow I'm a sucky blogger, huh? I swear I've been meaning to write something up since October. I was planning this post about how my brother's cat had kittens and I was going to be bringing two of the kittens home with me. Why two? Well, supposedly, it's been suggested to get cats in pairs when you can so they will have each other when you are not around. So, anyway, I did that. What follows is pretty much what I wanted to post back then. Following that, I will catch you all up with what's going on right about now.
In October I was cleaning up my apartment, getting it ready for the arrival of the kittens. Since my divorce in 2005, I moved into a smaller apartment in the same apartment complex in Midtown where Leah and I lived. I'm a packrat, and having owned a house in West Virginia once upon a time, I have a lot of stuff. This is a studio apartment, albeit a somewhat bigger studio than your regular studio. It is just barely big enough to contain me and my stuff.
Prior to this cleanup effort, I had all of my moving boxes broken down and stuffed under my bed. I had all the Styrofoam packing for all my electronic equipment stacked in a corner in what is basically the living room. I always keep as many boxes as I can between moves so I don't have to go looking for boxes the next time I move. I'm just practical that way. I keep all the packing for my equipment so I can safely move it the next time I move. Again, I believe that is just forward thinking at work there. Hehe
Anyway, I knew I had to get that stuff out of here and into the closet so that the cats wouldn't destroy it all. So that meant I had to completely re-organize the closet. This closet is supposedly a walk-in closet, but there really isn't much walking space in it even when it's empty. (It's approximately 10 feet by 4 feet.) That's okay, though, because I'm not a chick with a ridiculous amount of clothes / shoes that I might only wear one time in the entire span of my lifetime. However, like I said, I have a lot of stuff.
So I started collecting stuff in trash bags that I didn't really need, and collecting clothes that I couldn't or didn't want to wear anymore so I could donate them. In the process of doing this, I came across a bag that is stuffed full of handwritten poetry that I have done over the years. I used to write poetry all the time, but usually only when I was sad or pissed off. So most of it is 'woe is me' kind of stuff, but a lot of it I still like. Looking over it all, I've decided to post some of it on the site here. Be looking for that – when it happens there will be a "Poetry" link in the "Pages" list on the right.
Also in this bag I found other pieces of memorabilia. I like to keep things, like ticket stubs, that I feel like I will represent a cool memory that I will want to revisit in the future. I also keep other things that represent cool memories to me as well.
I have my ticket stub for Game 6 of the 1992 National League Championship Series – Braves vs Pittsburg. Why did I keep this stub when in this game the Pirates beat the Braves 13 to 4 to tie the series at 3 games all? It's simple – because the next night the Braves won in spectacularly dramatic fashion in one of the greatest moments in Braves history. Sid Bream slides in at home plate and Braves Win, Braves Win, Braves Win, Braves Win, Braves Win…. That was awesome. Me and a friend of mine were watching it on TV, and we heard that people were storming Peachtree Street in Buckhead. So we drove downtown and danced in the street, literally, until 3 in the morning. There were thousands of people there. Somehow people got a hold of a HUGE wooden tomahawk, it had to be 12 feet in length at least, and we were "surfing" it around the crowd. I will never forget that. The cops blocked off the street so there was no traffic as if we were some kind of Parade, and we danced in the most famous street in Atlanta until the wee hours. That's a life experience right there. You can't really appreciate it unless you were there. We did the same thing when the Braves won the World Series in 1995…but it just wasn't the same. At least not to me. There was just something magical about that night in 1992, and I will never forget it.
There are other tickets stubs in this bag. Very special to me is my first ever Van Halen concert – Friday, August 16, 1991. Just $22.50 a ticket LOL. Crazy. There is also a stub for the one and only time I've been to see Pearl Jam – October 4th, 1996. Most important of all, though, is the ticket stub that lead to a series of events that drove me to move to Atlanta for good: Atlanta Falcons vs Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, December 30th, 1990. Here is the story behind that.
I have moved to Atlanta twice. The first time I moved was a spur of the moment kind of thing. But in order to tell this story properly, I have to start at the real beginning.
In the fall of 1987, I went off to college at West Virginia University. Being the young, crazy person I was I didn't do much learning during that time. Instead, I did a considerable amount of partying and beer drinking. I think I just let myself get overwhelmed with how huge that place seemed to me after spending my entire life in little Princeton. WVU has its own mini mass transit rail system, ok? Sort of like a mini-MARTA. That's how huge the campus is. Anyway, I failed all my classes and decided to drop out after the first semester. I returned home to my infuriated parents.
I wanted to take the winter and spring off, and not go back to college until the fall of 88. I was all set to do that when one day my Dad took me to the movies, but on the way there had decided to chat with me about how important he felt it was for me to get back on the horse, so to speak, and continue my education. He had never finished college, and therefore had a difficult life professionally, and he didn't want that for me. My Dad and I were very close, and I wanted nothing more, really, than for him to be proud of me. So I relented and decided to enroll at a local college closer to home: Concord College (now Concord University) in Athens, WV. I didn't want to go back to WVU because I was afraid the same thing would happen. I felt it was better for me to take baby steps into the world at large.
During my first semester at Concord I met a lot of awesome people, and also actually went to classes and learned stuff (haha). Most importantly a former high school acquaintance invited me to pledge in the frat he was a member of: TKE. TKE had just recently come back from being suspended at Concord, so this pledge class was really small…just me and one other dude, Ron. Ron and I went through so much shite that semester pledging that we became close friends. Winter and Spring came and went, Ron and I became full members of TKE, and summer vacation was upon us.
Ron and I hung out a lot over that summer, and we were like true brothers. That fact is really only important for one reason, and it will become apparent later. It was a great summer, but that is another story for another time. Like all good things it must come to an end, and fall of 88 arrived soon enough. It was time to go back to college.
In October of 1988, my life changed forever. One afternoon some of my TKE brothers and I decided to have lunch together. We were all hanging out on the library steps, and I was grilling one of the new pledges about the greek alphabet. He was trying to get me to sign his pledge book, and I was enjoying making it difficult for him. We were all waiting for Dennis and his mysterious new girlfriend to meet us. I remember hearing some of the brothers whispering around me and the new pledge about Dennis' girlfriend, and how beautiful she was. So I was curious to see her. Just as I let the pledge off the hook and signed his book, around the corner came Dennis and one of the most beautiful women I've ever met in real life.
All time stopped for me. I'm about to detail another life experience that I hope everyone has gone through at least once in their life. I fell in love with her – Christine Price – right at that moment when I first saw her. It was like everyone else around us suddenly disappeared, and there was only me and her. You can't hold time back forever, so things started moving again – but in slow motion. She was coming to me, and the sun was glinting all around. Her hair danced in the gentle breeze of her movement. I was hammered with what felt like at least one lifetime of emotion all at once. It was overwhelming to say the least.
I'm not going to go into the whole me and Christine story here. That is also another story for another day. Three days after we met, I found out that Dennis had broken up with her so I went to see her. We kissed for the first time that night while the Beatles sang, "All you need is love", and the rest is history.
Now me, still being really young and crazy, was way over my head being so completely in love with this girl. I totally lost my sense of self. I smothered poor Christine with demands of every moment of her free time until she just couldn't take it anymore. She lived in Manassas Park, Virginia, and so when the summer of 89 arrived she left for home and we kept in touch via letter and phone calls. As she rediscovered what it was like to not have me hanging on her every move during the summer, she came back to college in the fall of 89 not wanting to date any longer. She wanted some space.
She had to come back to Concord a little earlier than other students for band camp. We hung out a little, but she was usually too busy, or exhausted, with band stuff for us to spend too much time together. However, that wasn't the whole story. During band camp she had met a drum major and they had struck up a romance, so that was the end of our primary relationship. I was completely, totally, and in all other ways crushed.
I don't remember much about college in the fall of 89. I continued to go to class, and I'm sure I learned some stuff. But I saw Christine all the time, and she wanted to be friendly with me as if everything was the same. I just couldn't do it. Everywhere I went reminded me of her, if I wasn't running into her where ever I went. I think the primary problem was that she and I continually hooked up on various occasions after her new relationship ended.
I had other friends who were in the band, so I would be in the music department from time to time, and I would sit down at a piano and start playing. Not being a good musician at the time, and pretty much playing the same songs over and over, she would know when it was me playing and would come find me. We would spend that day together, and usually that night too, and the next day she would want to go back to not being together anymore. It was really frustrating for me because I've always been a one girl guy, and I wasn't used to being with a girl who wanted to have singular nights of passion and then walk away. (hehe) Sounds like most guys wet dream, eh? It was driving me insane. I mean…seriously.
In the meantime, my frat bother Ron had moved to Atlanta. He was continually calling me and telling me that I needed to move to Atlanta. December of 89 rolled around and I decided that I needed to make a change in my life. I was losing interest in myself, my life, and everything in the world that's me and that's truly important. I needed to get out of Princeton, away from Christine, and put myself back together. One Thursday Ron called, asked me to move to Atlanta, and I told him that if he could get up to Princeton and pick me up, I would do it. Any day, any time, just let me know. He said, "How about tomorrow?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I was living with my grandmother at the time, so after that call I went up to her and told her I was moving. I explained that I had to get away because I had lost myself to Christine, and needed to rediscover Brian. Granny and I were pretty much best friends, so it was really hard on us both. But I think she understood where I was coming from. Then I got on the phone with Mom and Dad and let them know I was moving to Atlanta…tomorrow. That was a shocker as you might imagine.
So that's how I initially moved to Atlanta. I was here for 4 months before Granny passed away. She left me her car, her house, and the land the house was on. I had done a lot of healing in that 4 months, and given this opportunity to own my own place, I decided to move back. As it turned out I didn't have much of a choice because my "brother" Ron, while I was in WV for my grandmother's funeral, had stolen my computer, VCR, and pretty much everything I had of value and disappeared. When I went back to GA it was all gone. I would have moved back to WV at that time anyway, but hey…it wasn't a great time in my life as you can imagine.
As an aside, I'd like to point out that I'm not sure I would have made it through the loss of my grandmother, and Ron's betrayal, had it not been for Christine. She stayed with me pretty much constantly for the rest of that semester and just took care of me. I just want to make it clear that I don't think she ever fell out of love with me any more than I fell out of love with her. At least not back then. It wasn't meant to be, obviously, but we had a connection that you don't achieve very often in life. Some people you "click" with more than others, yes. And very, very few seem like just another part of you. I've had that with my best friend Sheila, and then with Christine. When you have that, you gotta appreciate it. We're lucky that it happens at all, I think. I just wish I could feel that way again about someone. I think I could have had a chance with some of the other women I've known between now and then, but circumstances prevented us from really getting close. I just miss that sense of completion. Ah blah I'm getting away from the point of this post. I just don't want to paint Chris in a negative light. Yeah we didn't work out, but she is in the top three of the most awesome human beings I have ever known. I will miss her for the rest of my life.
Anyway, while I was living in GA I met a lot of awesome folks, but never got involved in any relationship with anyone. The whole point was for me to be away from all that and rediscover me. But I met some awesome ladies, one of them being Deana (pronounced Dee-na) Crisp. When I moved back to WV, I kept in touch with everyone via letters and phone calls.
So now we come to the ticket stub. December of 1990. I grew up a Dallas Cowboys fan, and a lot of my friends in Princeton are also Cowboys fans. A bunch of us decided that we would take a road trip and go to Atlanta to see the Cowboys play. At the time, I didn't have a lot of money so I drove to Atlanta without enough money to rent a room for the weekend…even if I was splitting a room with the guys. But I had my Atlanta friends, so when I got into town I started calling everyone to see if I could crash for the weekend. Some folks turned me down, but I got in touch with Deana and she was happy to offer me a place to stay for the weekend. She was just moving into an apartment with another girl we both knew (we all had worked together when I lived in GA), so I helped them move in for letting me stay.
During that weekend, Deana and I started some innocent flirting. It was clear that we were attracted to one other, but we never hooked up during that time. After the football game, I went back to WV, but Deana and I spoke with each other almost every day. We wrote to each other often. I went back to visit her in February for Valentine's and we just hit it off. I decided to move back and move in with her. I did so in March of 1991, and I've been here ever since.
So here is this ticket stub. Not only was it my ticket to that game, but it was, in many ways, the ticket to my future. It was a big part of what had led me to where I am now. But I like to do this…I like to look back on my life and sort of observe how the things that happened to me led me to where I am.
Me and Deana didn't last long, although she was the first girl I got engaged to. But I was a jerk to her. She was wonderful to me, and I wasn't totally over Christine yet. I took her for granted and was basically an asshole to her. I wish I could tell her that I'm sorry. I'm thankful for her, though, because if she hadn't given me a place to crash that weekend, I might not be here right now. So all thanks to Deana! 🙂
I wonder if I had never met Christine if I would have felt compelled to move away from Princeton. I think I would have eventually, but certainly the path of my life would be different. So…wow…every little thing moved me along the path of life from there to here. My craziness at WVU. Dad convincing me to enroll at Concord right away instead of waiting. That invitation to rush TKE. Dennis being with Christine to introduce me to her. The rise and fall of love. Ron introducing me to Atlanta. The ticket to the football game. Deana inviting me to crash with her for that weekend. A blossoming romance leading me to move back. So…wow..it's been a wild, crazy, wonderful time from then through the path of my life until now. But that was the beginning of what I consider who I am now.
This ticket to a football game…I'm so glad I kept it. I will want to get it out and look back on everything from time to time. I think it's good to remain mindful of where you've been. I hope I will always………………………………………………………….…remember.
So eventually I straightened up my closet. I got the things out of the other rooms that I didn't want the kittens to attack. Between then and now I have acquired the cats – they are named Buffy and Faith after my love for the TV shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel". They both are just awesome cats. I will be posting pictures of them soon as well.
Between October and now I turned 39 (craziness), spent a week in WV for the holidays where I had a great time with my actual family and my "second" family (Sheila, Rob, Kris, Jordan, and Trey), concluded another fantasy football season where I won the point championship but missed the fantasy bowl again, and spent New Year's Eve and the first week and a half of January sick just like last year (really bad cold that led to a sinus infection). I still feel a little off, but I'm getting better. I'm still enjoying my work with Turner Broadcasting. Life is more or less good. I'm happy that I'm here, that's for sure.
I'm getting tired and I want to post this, but here are some quick things that I was going to write a lot about but will just touch on right now:
1) For what it's worth, I am endorsing Mike Huckabee for President in 2008. I am doing this primarily because he supports the Fair Tax plan. (Even though I absolutely abhor the word 'fair'. I don't think there's any such thing as 'fair', but that is, again, a story for another day. It should be called The Common Sense Tax, or the Better Tax, or something like that.) The mainstream media is going to more or less misinform you about the Fair Tax, so I want to encourage everyone reading this to please seek all information you can. Read, learn, and think for yourself. People like to use creative accounting to try to discount the concept of the Fair Tax. Don't allow yourself to be fooled. Please make use of the links below.
2) http://www.mikehuckabee.com/
3) http://www.fairtax.org/
4) http://www.factcheck.org/taxes/unspinning_the_fairtax.html — yeah even read what others have to say about it even though they, in my opinion, don't get it.
5) http://www.fairtaxcalculator.org
6) http://boortz.com/ — especially read Neal's Nuze every day.
7) http://www.amazon.com/FairTax-Book-Neal-Boortz/dp/0060875410
8 ) http://www.amazon.com/FairTax-Answering-Critics-Neal-Boortz/dp/0061540463/ref=pd_sim_b_title_2/105-5353101-9129208
9) http://www.fairtaxblog.com/
10) On to other things – I'm hoping that the Jaguars beat the Patriots on Saturday. Go Jags!
11) I can't decide if I'd like to see the Cowboys go to the Super Bowl, or Brett Favre and his Packers. Favre really deserves it, though. I'd love to see him make it back. I hope one of them makes it because I will be pulling for them to win it all.
12) I will post my poetry and pics of the cats at some point in the future – be on the lookout!
13) I can't wait for Saturday and the NFL Playoffs to start up again!
14) I'm really tired…should have gone to bed hours ago….
Until next time,
I hate the world today
Insane or stupid people
Always in my way
Though there are my selected few
You know who you are
You're each a shining star
Yesterday I lied
Said I love her
But God knows that I've tried
It's just that she is such a bitch
She always wants her way
She never scratches my itch
And she wants me made of clay
But I kick ass
Indeed I rock
They're not worthy
To suck my cock
I am all that they will seek
With my tongue here in my cheek
I'm the dude; I'm the king
They wish they had my ring
Because I know they know what they cannot replace
What is left to say
Through the ups and downs
Life is but a play
I try to share the marquee
Here on my center stage
Was this their cage?
I just wish that they would try
To use their brains
But that assumes a lie
They cannot use what just isn't there
Mediocrity feels fine
Instead of better they seek fair
And the fault is always mine
But I kick ass
I'm too cool
They're not worthy
To eat my stool
I am all that they will seek
With my tongue here in my cheek
Yes I rule; I'm the king
Their bitch ass gets nothing
Of all I am just get the hell out of my face!
We all keep asking ourselves why, but the reasons don't even matter
If you don't believe in yourself, then no one else ever will
I'm the one
To answer their prayer
But they're not worthy
To breathe my air
I am all that they will seek
With my tongue here in my cheek
I'm their dream; I'm the king
They had my sweet something
They let it go and now it's gone without a trace
Don't you
Forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
As if you could
Forget about me

So often pain is activated by a busy life and stressful issues. Coming to Dynamic Physical Therapy provided a time to relax, address the problem and let the therapist guide me through exercises and helpful advice that helped me cope. Such an encouragement - I hate to leave! But I am so much better to handle and/or eliminate my pain.

These conditions may include dizziness with specific movements of the head or body or problems with balance or walking. Problems with dizziness, balance or walking can have many causes and contributing factors. Some common causes of dizziness include dysfunctions of the inner ear that could be caused by infections (viral, upper respiratory, sinus), trauma to the head or medication interactions. Dizziness may also be related to problems with the central nervous system.
A common cause of dizziness is called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). In layman's terms, small crystals called "otoconia" in the anatomy of the inner ear have become displaced within one of the 3 canals. These crystals cause stimulation of the inner ear with specific head movements that cause dizziness. Many people "put up" with this disabling condition by avoiding the movements that make them dizzy. What many people don't know is that with proper evaluation, treatment for BPPV usually involves a quick and painless maneuver done in the office to re-position the crystals causing the problem.
Balance is a complex interaction between various systems of the body. It is influenced by the vestibular system (your equilibrium or position sense of your head), visual system (what your eyes tell your brain about your environment and your motion), somatosensory system (muscles in the body that give information to the brain about where your body and head are in space) and central nervous system (integrates all sensory input and produces motor control response). As balance is a function of several systems functioning together in the body, problems with dizziness and balance can also occur due to a combination of different physical impairments causing "multifactorial" balance problems. For example, someone with peripheral neuropathy of the feet may not be able to feel what they are standing on or what position their feet are in due to nerve damage. If that person also has problems with their vision and a very painful arthritic knee at the same time, their balance will be impaired significantly. As specially trained physical therapists in both orthopedic injuries and in balance/dizziness disorders, we are well prepared to treat these problems. Based on the evaluation, we can best select your appropriate treatment. Certain balance problems require formal vestibular rehabilitation including specific exercises. Adaptation exercises can help the body adapt to activities that provoke dizziness or imbalance. Substitution exercises are designed to help weakened systems to return to function by challenging remaining ones. Depending on the case, a person may need a combination of these treatments to get the best results.
At Dynamic Physical Therapy we use standardized testing procedures to determine specific problems that need our attention. We track progress through the rehabilitation process and communicate this to your physician. We will make recommendations on using walking aids such as canes and walkers; we will also ensure whether a person should refrain from using a walking aid due to a risk of falling. We will determine when a patient has demonstrated that he or she is able to do without a walking aid as they progress in their treatment.
Vestibular and balance problems can be complex problems that require a comprehensive treatment plan. At Dynamic Physical Therapy we are trained to deal with these complex problems and we posses the expertise to develop customized and effective treatment plans for individuals with balance and vestibular problems.
Dynamic Physical Therapy proudly serves the Northern Michigan region including Buckley, Cadillac, Gaylord, Manistee, Marion, Traverse City, and surrounding areas.

well sadly it seems that we are horrible fish owners. okay, particularly me.
gage was at school yesterday when i decided to do something nice and change the fish's water.
everything seemed to be going well. Boat {as that was his name for the morning} was spinning circles in a cup whilst i was tidying up his bowl. i refilled it with fresh clean water, poured the little guy back in and set it back on top of the fridge.
i stepped back to admire the sparkling new look and i'm pretty sure Boat even gave me a wink. or was that a "this water is too freakin' warm! get me out of her pronto." kind of look? i'm still not entirely sure.
what i am sure of however is that when Gage got off the bus yesterday afternoon and bee-lined to the fish bowl, there was no happy fish swimming around.
no. he was lying lifeless at the bottom of his bowl. {which surprised me because i totally thought they go belly up and float.} you can imagine how i felt.
someone occupying space in the back of my head whispered "fish killer."
i told gage that Boat was dead. he reminded me that his name was no longer Boat, but Fishy, and continued to stare at him like "come on already. aren't you glad to see me?"
that same someone whispered again. "dream squasher."
i finally convinced gage that Fishy would no longer be found swimming around in his bowl. he was now swimming around in a perfectly temped, shiny new fish bowl in heaven. Gage seemed to accept that happy thought and went on to his next favorite after school activity- loving on his brother.

We all know that Dubai is a city where the rich gather to spend their money. We also know that the country is immensely rich thanks to oil industry. They probably have so much money scattered around that they decided to give the police, several supercars.
I will try to keep it short. The Dubai Police now has a Chevrolet Camaro SS, a Dodge Charger, a Ferrari FF (they call it the FV), a Mercedes SLS AMG, a Aston Martin One 77, a Bentley Continental GT, and the most recent acquisition is a Lamborghini Aventador.
What is next? Bugatti Veyron? Ferrari LaFerrari? McLaren P1? In my opinion, this is a waste of money. Spend it with those you need it.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank (ECB) has no plans to end its business relations with U.S. telecoms firm Verizon Communications Inc, ECB President Mario Draghi said in response to a query from a member of the European parliament on Thursday.
The German government said in June it had canceled a contract with Verizon as part of an overhaul of its internal communications, prompted by revelations last year of U.S. government spying.
In the letter to Fabio De Masi, Draghi wrote that the ECB "takes the threat of economic espionage very seriously".
He said the ECB has two arrangements with Verizon: a framework agreement on the provision of certain internet-related services, and a contract related to the provision of certain business continuity services.
Verizon does not provide any telephone-related services to the ECB, he said. "Following a re-assessment of these arrangements and in view of its interactions with the provider, the ECB sees no need to terminate these arrangements," Draghi said in the letter.
The letter comes two weeks after the ECB said its website had been hacked and some email addresses and other contact information stolen, but insisted no market-sensitive data had been affected.

Happy New Year Everyone!
For awhile I had been cooking fish for husband and i on a regular basis and somehow had fallen out of habit – so back to fish we go. this was really good. the original recipe called for snap peas which i didn't have so i substituted green beans. I used a salmon filet for husband and tilapia for me.

Patient had cystoscopy done and was told by his urologist that the cancer had recurred in his bladder, he had lots of scar tissue and was told he needed to have another procedure done. Patient came to see me for low back pains and was offered a series of ten ONDAMED treatments twice a week to see whether it would relieve his low back pains. After the sixth treatment the patient reported that his frequency of urination had deceased from six to eight times a night to three to four times a night.
