A Strange New Paradigm
2008-02-15 23:13:00
Picture courtesy of educate-yourself.org Today is another one of those strange days, nothing really wrong, but nothing really right...I feel as if I'm in the middle of something, but I'm not quite sure what that 'something' is...I haven't been feeling all that well for the past week or so, and I was incredibly ill yesterday, so perhaps my body is trying to make a half ass come back...Who knows? I'd like to think my mind and body are always connected, but sometimes I wonder...I wonder if maybe my body has an agenda all its own, separate and apart from my mind, and every now and again it simply wanders off by itself...It rained like cats and dogs here, which is probably one reason I feel so out of sorts...Although I actually enjoy the rain, (even driving in it is fun for me), I tend to think inclement weather puts some kind of damper on my soul...Today the sun is shining brightly, but it's still raining in the back of my mind somewhere...Funny the thoughts you have when parts o...

Triple Crown Hopefuls for 2008

2008 Triple Crown hopeful - Anak NakalPhoto courtesy of z.about.comWell it's that time of year again, and a new batch of Triple Crown hopefuls have begun to strut their stuff...It will all start on the first Saturday in May, the 3rd to be exact, with the running of the Kentucky Derby...The race is one and a quarter miles, and is run at Churchill Downs Racetrack...This is what we racing fans call the 'first leg' of the Triple Crown, and it's also called "The Run for the Roses" for the blanket of roses draped over the winner...The finish line at Churchill DownsPhoto courtesy of www.chuckleavell.comThe next leg is called The Preakness Stakes, a 1 3/16 mile all out romp to the finish line held on the 3rd Saturday in May at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland...The Preakness is also known as "The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans" because a horseshoe of black-eyed susans, the state flower of Maryland, is traditionally placed around the winner's neck...If the Kentucky Derby winner...

Sometimes...

Picture courtesy of /imagecache2.allposters.comI just got off the phone with a friend of mine who constantly complains about his wife..."She's a lousy cook, a terrible housekeeper, a so-so mom, and a lazy lover." he says...Ok, fine, now I may be the only man alive who actually understands what women go through when they have husbands like him, and kids who drive them out of their minds...I've been around the two of them for a good long while now, and I'm beginning to think he doesn't have a leg to stand on...I try never to get involved, I stay neutral, if I can, because who wants to be caught in the middle of the Battling Bickersons!? Not me, that's for damned sure...But just in case some of you men feel the same way about your wives/girlfriends/significant others, here's a little reminder that women aren't necessarily the 'weaker' sex anymore...You'd better start appreciating what's waiting for you at home, cause out there?

Cosmic Connection

Picture courtesy of www.moorsgate.com'All things are woven together and the common bond is sacred, and scarcely one thing is foreign to another, for they have been arranged together in their places and together make the same ordered Universe. For there is one Universe out of all, one God through all, one substance and one law, one common reason of all intelligent creatures and one truth.Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe.We should not say 'I am an Athenian' or 'I am a Roman' but 'I am a citizen of the Universe.'Marcus AureliusI sometimes wonder if we've all lost our 'cosmic connection'...If somehow we forgot who we were and where our place was in the Universe...It certainly appears that way sometimes...The way people behave lately has me wondering if we've started climbing back 'up' into the trees instead of evolving like we're supposed to be, that perhaps Darwin was wrong after all...But then again, that's another theory I have that seem...

Thanks For The Memories

Photo courtesy of i44.photobucket.comOk folks, this is going to be a bit of a rant...I know, I know, some of you haven't really had the knee-knocking, heart pounding, full tilt boogie experience of one of my rants yet, and for those of you who haven't, you have my apologies in advance...For those of who have experienced my outrageous tirades, buckle up and hold on tight, because it's going to be a bumpy ride...This entire rant stems from a conversation I had today with a fellow smoker, ok, it wasn't a 'fell-o', it was a 'fell-a' but still, it pissed me off enough to make me have smoking flashbacks, kind of like an unintentional acid trip...And it's because of all the 'non' smoking zealots out there...Let me start out by saying that I have always been a conscientious smoker...I don't just light up in a crowd, or at the dinner table when people are still eating, or in places I shouldn't, (i.e., inside the workplace, clubs, bars, restaurants, movie theatres, bus depots, tr...

Why Does Hatred Exist?
2008-01-03 03:45:00
Picture courtesy of boles.com Why does hatred exist?What do people hate what they don't understand without even trying to see the good?And make judgements against you for things you have not done, then with blinded eyes accuse you of consorting with Satan...Why do they turn a deafened heart to your pain, while false smiles cross their lips...Is this comfort they offer or does hell lurk hidden behind concerned eyes?As they lap up your sorrow and share it amongst themselves like greedy thieves...Is their hatred of you so intense that they actually believe it is love that they offer?Why do they think it won't hurt you, when all you can see are their backsAs they turn away quickly and leave you lying there alone in your own private hell...Are their hearts so cold and frozen that not a single flame of kindness remains?Dark brooding eyes can offer no measure of pity, not an ounce of empathy,As they gaze at you with accusatory stares from under perfectly arched brows...You stretch out a ...

Well that's where I am right now...I have no idea what woke me up but up is what I am...Even so, things seem slightly off kilter this morning...I may have risen, but I flat out refuse to shine...Nothing seems to be 'caught' up inside my head or my body, as if one went off someplace without the others permission, got caught, then had to do a running tackle just to get back in again before I woke up and found myself walking up some mountain in Tibet...Freaky the things you think of at 4 in the morning isn't it?Of course the first thing I do...

Drawing courtesy of Zindy ZoneAn Angel Cried Today byNick CarltonAn angel cried today...Her wings folded inward as tears ran down her perfect face...How could I have said those awful words...How could they have ever left my lips?But you drove me to my madness didn't you? This sorrow that I keep...Deep inside where no one sees but me, A heart still bleeding in it's despair...Did you really think you could hurt me like thisAnd I would simply just forget?I loved you with every fibre of my beingAnd still you turned away...Did I not love you with everything I had? With everything that was me?Still you laughed the day I died inside Amidst accusing eyes and whispered lies...Your smile betrayed your intentions, And still I trusted you, fool that I was...I've cried these many days and wondered at your cruelty...To live alone is hell for me, But here is where you've left me to bleed...Alone amongst possessions that are no longer my own...This broken heart, this soul robbed of all happiness...

How foolish to provoke a man of suchPower, but yet, it seemed hopeless for me to intercede...Marek made no move to defend him as the other councilMembers sat in silence, seemingly in a trance and unableTo even speak. I watched with nervous tension as theySquared off, Jareth's rusty eyes locked solidly on Archer...His hands flattened out on the table as he spread hisFingers slowly, Jareth's brows knitted into a frown ofRage, or perhaps, confusion, but Archer remained still,His emerald eyes not wavering in their steady level gaze...Finally Jareth spoke, it was a voice like doom that vibratedThrough the Great Pavilion echoing off the gilded wallsAnd golden leafed ceiling, 'You have given your trueName to 'The One'!?' he asked and Archer nodded slowly...Jareth seemed to shift then in his chair, almost unsure howTo reply...

And apparently, neither can a whole lot of other Blogger victims...I just checked the 'Help' center and there are about 100 reports of the same nature...Pictures not being able to be uploaded, headers disappearing, post pictures vanishing...It's like gremlins have taken over Blogger...Oh well, apparently it's been going on for days now and I was unaware of it until it happened to me! My header on 'Strange Corridor' just got up and walked away this morning without even bothering to leave a note, and it took all the pictures from my newest post along with it...Suggestions on how to fix the problem are flying all around the 'Help' center pages, and Blogger employees are offering quick 'workaround' fixes for people until they solve the problem...Problem is, I'm a veterinarian, NOT a programmer...HTML is as alien to me as, well, aliens...So if your blog...

Another rainy day by Werner Eickenscheidt Today, it's raining...Ordinarily I'd be thrilled because I love the rain...But not so much today, and there's a good reason for my sudden dislike of it...I'm sitting here typing this blog on my laptop from a place I'd rather not be in, for a reason I'd rather not mention, and the rain outside only seems to echo the mood I'm in...Dark, sad, depressed and in pain...Today I hate the rain...Today I hate everything...But then again, I hate everything when I'm in this much pain...So it's really not all that unusual...Pain has a way of wearing you down, of making you cranky, ill tempered and impatient, even with yourself...Especially when nothing you can do will ease it up or take it away...That's when you suddenly realize you're losing your mind...Little by little in small stages, as if someone has left the facet in your mind partway open and your sanity is leaking out one drip at a time...You begin to notice things you wouldn't ordina...
