It's one of those nights
where I just can’t seem to keep a hold of myself emotionally.  I’m usually quite good at it, but something about today just wore me down.  Nothing particularly good or bad happened, just a bunch of small annoying things and a few bigger annoying things and a few things have been nagging at the back of my mind for a while.  My temper is significantly shorter than normal, which just...

A few days ago
I got stung by a bee.  And I felt guilty because the little fellah was going to die.  I think this means that I am a little too caring about nature.  What particularly bugged me about getting stung by this bee was that it was a native species.  I’m not sure which species specifically, but it was not an invasive, I mean, introduced.  Its not invasive if we put it here for a purpose, right? ...

Sea Fever
I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be...

All Things Considered
its going pretty good right now.  The next few days are shaping up to be absolutely beautiful, not only weather wise, but for other reasons as well.  This is cause for celebration.  TO DO: Go hug a tree Donate food to a food bank (they could really use it right now, especially breakfast foods.  Send boxes of cereal to church outreach programs or food banks.  They would be forever grateful) Go...

Initial Ramblings
This isn’t a place for me to sound smart or to complain about what’s going on.  This is just a place for me to talk out some of the stuff that’s going on and hopefully figure some things out.  I tend to, when I am extremely stressed or confused, just start to write and see what my subconscious spits out.  I then read through it all and try to make sense of my ramblings.  As such,...
