Day Break

Alright, so there is this new show that I got hooked on. Thanks to a certain person (Shoom Zone; check out the site I have it listed under my links). The show is based on a cop that has to re-live what has to be the worst day of his life. The show is awesome, and if you want to check it out you can see the first few episodes by going to http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing
And for those of you that are I-Man fans Nester Carbonell; Shannon Kelly's husband, he was good in it last night. And, best of all one of the people from another favorite show of mine Mutant X is in it as well. One Victoria Pratt, she was Shalamar and I have to tell you she looks as good as ever. And if you never watched Mutant X you should check that out as well that was another good show that should have never been canned. You might be able to find re-runs in your area if you look, but you can also get the seasons on DVD from just about any site or Best Buy has them as well; that is where I got them at.
Anyway, you should check Day Break out.

Take care!

Hoping

Well, last week I decided that it was time to embark on a dream that I have had for as long as I can remember. I contact a publisher to see if they would be interested in publishing my poems. To my surprise they contacted me and asked me to send them my writtings. Although I am not going to hope for a lot. It would be nice if they wanted to publish the book of poetry that I have been working on. I am going to keep my fingers crossed and let you know what happens.

Turkey Day

Ah, so I hope everyone survived another family gather that is know throughout the land as Thanksgiving. Or as I like to refer to it as Turkey Day. A day that is spent with family and the people you love. And, of course people that you don't nessacarry love, or tolerate for that matter. It's like any other family gathering, there are people in the family that you don't like all that much. But, you put up with them at just talk about them in the car on the way home. Don't say that you don't do it; I myself have been gulity of this as well and although I am not proud of it, it has happened. And as much as I would not like it to happen I am sure that it will happen again.
So, how many of you have TONS of left-overs that will last you till Christmas dinner? I am sure that there are a lot of you out there. Thankfully, I don't have any; that is the nice thing about going to someone else's house for dinner. All the food and none of the left-overs to have to worry about. But then again, that means that I don't get to make turkey sandwichs or turkey and gravy with the left-overs. Oh well, there are ups and down to everything.
I hope you all have a happy and safe holiday. And, I will check in with you later.

Sound

Okay, so yesterday was awesome. I went to the doctor with my fiancee and we got to hear the baby's heartbeat. That had to be one of the best sounds that I have ever heard. We could also hear the baby moving around as well. I have to tell you that hearing the baby warmered my soul. And that is all I have to say for the moment. Take care, and have a great day and weekend.

Fade Away

Good day all! Here is another one of my poems. It's an orginal just wrote it today; enjoy. And have a great day.

The evening draws near
Time grows short
My time here is almost at its end
I will be leaving soon
To where I do not care
Nor do I know
I have left no marks
My soul is empty
And dieing out
I am being to leave this plain
I feel myself fading
But wait there is one
One I knew nothing about
I see them in the distance
It’s too late to stop it now
My fading continues
As I fade away
The one reaches the spot
Just in time to see me leave
All that is left is the smell that lingers

Start off the week right

Ah, welcome to another Monday morning. Lets try to start the week off right shall we? I think a good way to start the week off is with a poem. Another orginal poem by none other then SungSang. Here we go.
It's called Alone, now I want to inform you that I am not actually alone. That just happens to be the title of the poem ;)

I jolt awake
I find that once again am alone
I look around my empty room
There is some light coming in from outside
Just enough to give the room a glow
I burry my hands deep into my hands
I struggle to hold back the tears
Again am alone
No matter the time of day, am alone
I search my soul for an answer
But none I can find
My mind wonders back to being alone
I site alone in my bed wondering why
Am alone
I lay down
I try to remain calm
I cannot sleep
For my mind reminds me that am alone


Hope everyone has a good week and they spend it with the people they love. Take care.

Christmas Shopping

Well, my fiancée and me have just about gotten all our Christmas shopping done. Now the thing is that I really don't like shopping there is just something about the ritual of shopping. Dealing with all the other people that are doing the something, trying to get all there shopping done. And, the people just seem to get worse and worse every year. And, that is not all; the worse thing is that people are not all that nice this time of year. I find that a little odd; seeing how this is suppose to be the time of giving and good will towards your fellow man/woman. But, I guess in this day and age when Christmas has become the "national gift giving day" and nothing else then people must think that they can be rude and obnoxious to people as well. I guess it really does not matter what I think about how people act they are going to do what they want when they want. I guess that is part of having a mind of your own and no one can take that away from you. Till next time folks have a blessed one.

Veterans Day

Tomorrow is Veterans Day, now I don't know how many people out there is blogger world know what this day actually symbolizes. Wikopedia defines it as follows:

Veterans Day is the American name for the international day called Armistice Day. It falls on 11 November, the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War One. It is both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states. The same day is observed elsewhere as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day. All major hostilities of World War 1 were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice. Armistice Day was first commemorated in the United States by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919, and many states made it a legal holiday. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 inviting all Americans to observe the day, and made it a legal holiday nationwide in 1938. The holiday has been observed annually on November 11 since that date - first as Armistice Day, later as Veterans Day - except for a brief period when it was celebrated on the fourth Monday of October.

Veterans Day may not mean a lot to some of the people out there. But, the fighting men and women of the Armed Services it means a heck of a lot. It also means something to all the families of the Armed Services members. Now, like me when I was little I saw it as other day that I get off from school, and for sometime I did not know the meaning behind the day. As for now, I fully understand the reason behind the day. And, I am proud that there is a day that is set aside to recognize all the Veterans of the Armed Forces. I myself am a son of a father and mother that severed in the Armed Forces. My dad was in the Air Force and the Navy, all together he spent 35yrs in. My mom only did her 4yrs I believe, but it does not take away from the fact that she did her time in the service.

To all the veterans out there and the men and woman serving in the Armed Forces I want to say Thank You. Without your bravery to serve and at times fight we would not have the rights and freedom that we have.

The Feeling

I feel a presence by my side
I turn to see
But there is no one there
Must have been the wind
Again the feeling is there
Again I turn and no one is there
Possibly the wind once more?
I shrug off the feeling once more
But, I still have the nagging feeling
I hear a voice, quiet a mouse
It’s hard to make out the words
What was that? I call out
No reply
Again the voice comes; quiet as a mouse
Still I cannot make it out
What are you trying to tell me? I shout
Once again no reply
I kneel down and begin to cry
I feel a hand caress my shoulder
I turn and see….
I feel his love
The voice is loud and clear
I needed him in my heart to make it out
Again the feeling is there
But this time I know what it’s about

Warrior's Path

A warrior sits calm and surreal
His warrior heart beats at the sound of a drum
Will today be the day?
Thoughts of such things are taboo
The warrior's eyes are shut tight
Clearing his mind to concentrate on the task at hand
His weapons are cleaned and sheathed
A warrior's weapons are his best friend
Never let him down always at his side
One last breathe
The warrior stands
Eyes open wide
His path is clear
The task is at hand
He walks the warrior's path

End Of The Day

So as I sit here at home with the night starting to come to a close. I look back on the day (voting day). The day was like any other I went to work and came home. On the way home I voted like a lot of other people. When I first got there there were not a lot of people there. By the time that I was leaving, the place started to get a little more full. I think that had to do with the fact that people thought that it was a good idea to stop on the way home to vote.
My dad calls and asked me if I voted and what party I voted for. I gave him some information about that, that I will not share with all you people for the mear fact that I don't know you well enough to talk about politics. Not to mention that I am not really that much into politics and really don't talk about them much. Ah, well it's about that time to see about getting things done for the night, I hope you all have a good rest of the night and a good day tomorrow.

Tatoos

Okay, so I see this picture of this girl and she has a tattoo of her name and her boyfriends name on her arm. First thing that comes to mind is WHY? Now, the problem I see with this is that the guy who I have known for awhile has gone through 3 girlfriends within the last year. Now, I don't think that is a reflection of how is treats girls, because I know that he treats them well. From what I gather most of the women in his life leave him high and dry.
I think the main thing is that I don't think that people should put things like that on their body. I mean think about this for a moment. Unless you know for sure that you are going to be with that person for the rest of your life then you should not put something like that on your body. I mean no one knows what tomorrow will bring. Tomorrow you could break up with that person and you will be left with the everlasting memory of that person which can be stored away in your head so that you only think about it maybe once or twice in your lifetime. But, now you have this tattoo on your body that is a constant reminder that you were with this person and you know that you are no longer with that person. Now, you are blessed with the idea that you have to explain to anyone that asked what the tattoo means and you once again get to tell another person about why you got the tattoo. Or perhaps you will just write it down and keep it in your pocket or your purse so that you can just give it to the person that ask so that they can read for themselves the reason for your idiotic idea to put someone else’s name on your arm. Of course, there is always the option to get the tattoo removed. A nice option, but I would not suggest this course of action. I have a friend that is getting some removed that way and he hates it. Aside from the site allergic reaction that he had to the numbing agent that they used it seems to be going nicely. But, with all that come the cost and the treatments that you have to go through to get the tattoo removed. This is why I tell people that I choose me tattoo based on the fact that I am not going to be ashamed of it later when people ask me about them or why I got that particular one. Not to mention that I think tattoo someone’s name on your body is a little trashy, but that's just me...one man's opinion take it with a grain of salt.

News

Alright, so in April 07 I am going to marry the woman that I love. In December (24th) we will have been together 1 yr. It does not seem all that long, it seems like we have been together for a lot longer then that. Now, before you start to think that is a bad thing it's not. I have been happier this past year then I can rememeber any other time in my life. Aside from the site issues that I am having with my family which I really don't need to get into at this point...as that I don't want this post to get to the size of a small novel. And, not to mention that I am sure that no one wants to hear about all the stuff that I am going through at this point.

Ontop of all the excitement of getting married, my finacee and I are expected our first child in May of 07. When I found out that we were going to be having a baby I don't think I could have been happier. The idea of bringing a new life into this world just makes me happy. So, the next year is going to be a great ride, that I don't think that I am going to want to get off of. I will try to keep my blog updated so that everyone knows how this are going.

I-Man/Shoom Productions

Alright a little explaining is in order for the title of this blog. Back in 2000 there was this GREAT show that Sci-fi aired called Invisible Man. And let me tell you it was an AWESOME show that ended long before it's time. The show ended in 2002 and it left with it fans that were sad nah I say angry to see it go. Since that time a site was created www.imaniacs.org for all the fans to congregate to and talk about our beloved shows (I being one of them you might have noticed). Well, this site is a place were we talked about how we can get the show back or even get our cast together again for a movie or something to that regard. Well after more time past a great person named Amanda Rogers who is blessed to have meet most or the entire cast took on herself to start a dream that she had to break into the movies. She decided that she was going to make a movie with our beloved I-Man cast. To read more about this project and about Amanda please go to www.shoomzone.com. There you will find lots of information about the project and updates to said project. Please tell all your friends about the site! This is going to be a GREAT project and I don't see where anyone should miss out on this great group of people that were tore apart long before there time. I will also add the link to Shoom Productions on my links section of my blog so that you can visits as often as you like...heck bookmark it and tell other people about it in your blog, help spread the word!

__________________________

You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place because of men like him.


If only there were more men like him!

If you support your troops, re-send this to everyone you know,

If it gets to another veteran who hasn't received it yet, it will bring back memories.



Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ and the American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

This is awsome!

A New Job

Alright, so today I got an offer for a new job. Its going to be great, I get to work Monday-Friday 7am-3pm. I finally get my weekends back after 3 1/2 years. Its going to be great that I will get to out on Saturday night and not have to worry about getting home earlier so that I can go to work in the morning. Of course with my luck, now that I have Sundays off, I am not going to have anywhere to go on Saturday night. But, I am sure that is not going to be an issue I don't see where I am never not going to have anything to do on Saturday. Usually there is plently to do on Saturday night. Espically seeing that here is a couple of weeks its going to be my b-day.

Monday

What can you say about Mondays, other then the fact that its Monday. Last week, someone told me that everyday is a Monday. I never really thought about it that way, for him that made sense being that where he worked he was oncall all the time, so I could see where that would be the case. Me, I would hate that I would like the idea that once I am off work I am off work. I was working at place where I was called after I left as late as 9pm and I hated that. There were times that I just wanted to turn my phone off, but I know that would be the moment that something really bad would happen and I would need to be contacted. But anyway, Mondays usually suck...even though if you want to get down to it today is my Tuesday being that I work on Sundays. Eh, but anyway I am sure that I will soon be off that schedule. But for now back to work I go.

Inner Peace?

Now, whether or not this is the formula for inner peace or not; I just thought that was funny. I will let you decide if you think so. Other then the fact that it was said to be writen by Dr Phil...I hate him by the way.


A formula for inner peace...
I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me and we all could use more calm in our lives.
By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace.
On the show, Dr. Phil proclaimed:
"The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started."
So I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished and before leaving the house this morning,
I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's, a bottle of Kailua, a package of Oreos, the rest of the cheesecake, some saltines and a box of chocolates.
You have no idea how good I feel.Have a nice day..... I am....

The First Day

Okay, I had one of these created before and it dissapeared. So, I had to create a new one, which I don't think is a big deal being that I don't think anyone read the last one but what the heck.

Here I sit at work; I know I work Sundays and it sucks. But I hope for not too much longer. I need a job that I work M-F and have my weekends, it has been a long time since I have an actual weekend off. I have alreay know what it feels like to not be able to go anywhere and stay out late on a Saturday night cause I have to get home and get to bed for work in the morning. But anyway, such is life.

Things are going well, as you might be aware from the title of the blog I am a black belt. I study martial arts at D.H.S. Martial Arts in Fredericksburg Va. Its a great place to take martial arts and the master is awsome. And the best part is that I get to help teach the other students and learn at the sametime. It was a blessing that I had able to find something that I am so good at and love so much.

Well, off I go to work again...and no I don't whistle while I work.
