I See You

so I saw Avatar in 3D this afternoon. a way kewl effect. if you haven't seen this movie yet, it's a MUST see. enjoyed it just as much in 3D as in regular movie. I recommend either. I just LOVE this movie as I'm sure many people do. can't wait until it's on DVD for sale. maybe I'll even purchase a poster for this movie which I usually don't purchase such things. I still had sum tears this time around. knot as many as the first, but still a few flowed. such a heart warming and wrenching story. well worth it no matter how many times I see it. haven't loved a movie this much since The Lord of the Rings. it takes a lot for a movie to totally capture me. anyways, go see this movie. several times if you enjoy it as much as I do....
....in the meantime, I"m chillin' at home this night with a glass of wine. a little tipsy from one glass but that was on an empty stomach. I'm home and only do this at home. so all is good. I'm watching the Bronze Medal game of men's hockey. NBC seems to be recapturing the previous 2 weeks, so I'd rather do something Live at the moment. tomorrow I anxiously await the Gold Medal game between USA vs Canada. come hell or high water I'm watching that game. we've done pretty damn good this year at the Winter Olympics, I think with setting a new medals count. I've thoroughly enjoyed them this time. usually knot much into the Winter Olympics, but it has captured me this time. once it's done tomorrow, it's back to focusing on class. hurry up class!!!! ode to the journey of a Practitioner-Spiritual Counselor at church.....a couple days ago I finished a book, Faith, by Susan Salzburg...good book. different perspective about Faith than I'm accustomed. will engage in conversation with our minister about this book. within this past year, until now, I've read a significant amount of Buddhism related material. good stuff yet different. in time, I'll see how much I embrace it. it's all good. Life is Good. counting my blessings as I journey each day.....

going 4 the gold!

at the moment, i sit @ work passing the time keeping up with the Olympics via internet. all my cleaning is done but i wait for karoake to be done so i can set up for sunday services in the social hall. knot too many people here tonight so hopefully they'll leave early. i didn't think to bring homework with me to kill the dead time i have on my hands. i got so enthralled with the USA Men's Hockey game this afternoon, i rushed out the door knot thinking ahead of me. so. USA's hockey team will be going for the gold again on sunday. the women's team loss to Canada earning the silver last night. now we wait patiently to see if we face Canada again in the men's final. by the time i'm outta here tonight, we should know our challenger for sunday. now come sunday it'll be interesting if i can skoot out of here b4 the Gold Medal game begins. will see. i really got wrapped up in the Olympics this time but it's been a nice change from class. just finished a book for class yesterday. a little over 10 weeks to go and we'll be finished with this class. but then it's the written exam, eventually the oral exam should we pass the written. i sure hope this class and accomplishment is worth it once i'm done. only time will tell. i continue to meet up with discouragement but i persevere. a friend suggested that in lieu of paddling upstream to turn around and go with the flow. that may be an idea, but i like the paddling so i have sum control of my destiny. time will tell with that too....in the meantime, it's been a beautiful day today. lots of sunshine which always puts a smile on my face. March is just around the corner and temps should start to rise a bit. i can hardly wait. but 4 now, one day at a time. one step in front of another. Life is Good today....

Enough already!

I was wondering.....




When the hell is spring coming?

this came via email a few days ago. it's really how i'm feelin' at the moment. the sun poked her head out yesterday but i woke to more snow and a cold day despite the sunshine. i'm ready for winter to be over. ready for a new season to begin anew. where i don't know. i'm feelin' lost in my journey especially my spiritual journey at the moment. paddling upstream but don't know where i'm going. maybe the journey is now all the Unknown? i have no clue really, but i think i should have sum control over my destiny? or do i...maybe it's Spirit who really does the leading. only time will tell...

Color Carnival #38

I wonder where Blonde's Diner really is?.....anyways, it's a gloomy winter day. I'd like to stay home all day, but work calls me tonight. I also need to go get baseball tickets for April when 2 pro teams come to town and face off. haven't seen a pro game of sorts since I was a kid. should be fun especially with Ken Griffey Jr coming to town. .....anyways, went to coffee with a friend the other night and we were talking bikes. I'm soooo ready for another motorcycle and to be on the road. If I wasn't going to KY this year, I'd see about getting another used bike. maybe next spring. anyways, my friend has a Harley and has invite to ride with her. so that'll compensate for now. I think she'll even let me ride it by myself. I'm itchin' 2 ride 4 sure. no regrets in giving mine up. it accomplished what I needed 2 do. but somehow, someway, I'll get another bike next year......Ride!

Where's the Hockey????

so I continue to watch The Olympics, but my question is WHERE'S THE HOCKEY???? figure skating seems to be dominating the network it isn't one of my favs. although there was a time I enjoyed figure skating, I threw it out with the bath water a very long time ago..decades ago I think. I just feel the judging is to subjective and it is knot fairly judged. I think there are favorites that usually win based on history and many different reasons. also why I through out gymnastics in the Olympics as well with the bath water. so I enjoy Hockey, knot that I watch it often. but when it comes time for The Olympics I do watch it ever since the 1980's game when we beat Russia. maybe I should find me a pro team to route for and enjoy it then. I did get to see it live watching a minor team in Spokane WA years ago in my 20s. That was more exciting than on TV. Ok, I call myself a retired Jock. I like living on the edge and the Olympics always gives me that thrill. my edge has slowed down a bit since aging, but it's still very much there. the Halfpipe reminded me. so enough of the figure skating!!! BRING ON THE HOCKEY!!!!

the Olympics!...GO USA!!!

so I've been watchin' sum of the Olympics. yesterday was a GREAT day for the USA. it was a pleasant evening to watch last night although I knew 2 of the Gold Medals won b4 seeing it on TV. my only complaint in watching the Olympics is it's a delayed broadcast. I'd rather watch it LIVE!!! makes for more intensity and excitement. but b4 I knew the Halfpipe was a delayed broadcast, I really got into watching it. for years I heard about the hype surrounding Shaun White (pictured above), but had yet to see him in action. OMG!! after his first run, I immediately saw why he is the BEST!!!! God not only did he nail his event, he topped it off with a victory run which was even better. he was soooooo HIGH above that halfpipe while doing his stunts, I swear he was going to fall, but he didn't. these snowboarders who do this halfpipe are tremendous athletes for all the twists and turns and speed and height for which they compel themselves to do. I was totally amazed. so now Shaun White is my new hero knot just because of his awesome talent but I absolutely LOVE his RED hair. red long hair. so I'm using his visuals to get my hair grown that long.....lol...one month down, another 11 months to go I presume that will be how long it takes me to get it there. wish me luck. and enjoy the Olympics. it's been nice to revisit them this year although I usually forgo the Winter Olympics. this time it's very refreshing for me. it's a blast! I'm lovin' it.....

happy valentine's day!
