King and Lionheart-Of Monsters and Men. Song meanings? (Old unposted articles #2)

Apr28

Well, I just think that perhaps she’s the one who keeps him, the King, going on. The Lionheart, the bravery that keeps him from cowering away… is he one thing that keeps him going and holds him up, her love is what keeps him going, that makes him brave, strong, a King…. She’s what he needs to be the King, his heart, his bravery, his strength, his love, none of it would be there without her… she’s always behind him whatever he does she’s always there to catch his fall, always there to keep him up and keep him strong, always there to save him, help him, keep him safe from himself.

Keep moving forward. It has been a saying for decades, that inspires us to put the past behind us, to learn from our mistakes, and to perservere through upcoming hardships.

It’s Good To Be Back! Here’s My Weekend.

Jul24

After a long time away from my blog it feels good to come back and read some of the old articles, look at the pictures, and just to say “Remember when,”.

I got a part time job working at a waterpark, not as a lifeguard, but on the maintenance crew. Which requires working odd hours through out the week. Honestly, some days all I can do is come home and fall asleep on the couch. It seems pulling me away from the things I love.

I saw my wonderful Kitty this past weekend. We cuddled, went swimming in lake, and then laid out on the dunes together. There was a beautiful sunset, then moon was out, I don’t even think she noticed it though. God, everyday I get to see her I’m so happy. It’s like a photograph, my problems fade out in the background and all that’s left is the perfect picture of her.

I wished on a star for you, love.

Goodbye, Sally Ride. Thank you for taking our dreams to the stars.

“WTH?!” Picture Dump

May1

So I was looking through all my picture folders on my computer and I saw a folder just POP up labeled “WTH?!”

(Okay, fine it was actually just sitting next to “screen-shots” and “asdfsadasd” )

As with most of the things on my computer I KINDA had a idea of what was in it, but then again I thought I KINDA had a idea of how to put up the Christmas lights a few years back and that didn’t go so well…

I slipped off the ladder shown in the foreground. After hanging upside down for roughly five minutes banging against the house, my sister came out...to take pictures.

Anyway, I (in a fit of daring) opened the folder.

This, Dear reader, is the entire contents. . .

Okay, so I was really wierded out by then.

Next time I’m going to keep better track of what I download.

My Compulsive Cleaning Rhyme

Apr27

Working 6am till 7 at night, the summer sun is not my light.

I’ve polished mirrors, mopped, cleaned and dusted, even the hinges. (they were all rusted)

I know I get my dues at the end, but I think the job’s messing with my head.

You see, I fear I’ve gone TO long on this jolly cleaning spree.

Because even when I’ve been exausted at six fifty four, someone tracks dirt on my hardwood floor, and I suddenly feel the urge to clean SOME MORE!

The NEW Face of the Writer.

Apr27

So I’ve got a couple of readers emailing me about the lack of pictures with myself in them.

Not that the panda with pistols that I have as my gravatar is to widely used but that most poeple like to attribute a face to the name.
And so here’s the new face of Murphy’s lawless.
