Same……

…..as it ever was.

Nothing really changes. The world spins as it circles around the sun. The sun and the planets swirl around in the galaxy. The galaxy swirls around the universe in a dance with other galaxies.

You and I shall shuffle about this mortal coil, and then carry on to whatever next awaits in our journey. We- most of us –  will be forgotten by those whom linger in this place as but rubes led about by unscrupulous leaders more concerned with their power than with their obligations.

What then, do we make of ourselves? Woe and be morose? Lament and play victim? Or stand tall and take comfort that we lived this life to the best of our abilities? Be confident in our values? Our morals? Know that we put every effort in living in what we believe to be right and avoid walking the path that is wrong?

In the end there is but one thing for certain: I was here, I lived, and I experienced the life meant for me.

Oh, and one last thing – God trusted me enough to give me my soul. He didn’t give it to someone else. He gave it to me. To those whom claim I am making the wrong choices; what makes you know better than God?

Tina Is Up!

Okay, I managed to get in a run, and make me some breakfast before Tina got out of bed. She’s having her morning coffee and once awake is going to start cleaning. As we have two different approaches to cleaning, it’s best I get out of the house and out of her way. She bulldozes through cleaning where as I take many breaks.

We compromise though. I’ll do the laundry later on today after she’s done her cleaning. So, I’m going to take my MacBook Air, head to Beaner’s Central, and do classwork. Well, first I have to finish breakfast, and take a shower.

Beautiful Morning

It is just too damn beautiful this morning for me to sit at this computer and type. I’m going for a run. You all behave while I’m gone. Yes, even you in the back of the room. I expect everyone to be on the best behavior.

And So It Begins!

All sorts of wonderful information came my way this morning. First, the web page for my class finally came online. I’ve got quite a bit of reading ahead of me today. Second, my bill came due for the class. I wanted to look into the details of when it’s due, and the means by which I can pay the bill off, but the University shuts down parts of its system on Sundays, 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Sigh.

Still, I’m hoping to learn what I have to do to be able to successfully complete this class. Since Tina is going to kick me out of the house so she can clean I’ll just take the old MacBook Air with me and do some reading at a local coffee shop.

New Addon for Firefox

I have a new grammar, spell check, and punctuation addon for Firefox. It proofs as I write, giving me all sorts of suggestions and corrections. So far I’m liking it! Hoping it will help improve my posts.

Huh. It appears I’ve got several “Advanced Issues” that don’t get corrected unless I upgrade. Honestly, with school fast approaching it wouldn’t hurt to have an advanced proof writing app.

East Coast, My Thoughts Are With You

Based on the current forecasts, Post-Tropical Cyclone Hermine is a storm without a good historical comparison. Originally Hermine was once a tropical cyclone that made landfall in Florida, but that seems like ages ago. It has now transitioned to its post-tropical stage after moving northeast across land, off the coast of North Carolina, where it’s…

But before we get to how weird and rare of a storm Hermine is, let’s highlight its forecast. Hermine won’t be as big or as powerful as 2012’s Hurricane Sandy, but its impact might be worse for some communities for a simple reason: It’s supposed to spend most of a week in roughly the same spot, just off the Mid-Atlantic coast.

It sounds like a rough holiday weekend for the East Coast.

It Was Never Bill

It was Hillary they always were afraid of. So much so they threw millions of dollars into countless investigations and false stories about her, going all the way back to her days on a Watergate Committee. Yet, in the end, not one iota of proof existed to charge her.

Yup!

And she’s currently sleeping soundly on the couch.

Heart Rate

So here it is 5 hours after my run and my heart rate is still hovering around 100. I think I’m going to need to do a bit of Mindful Meditation. Could you all just keep the noise down to a dull roar while I’m practicing being mindful.

Tell you what, watch the Taco Truck invasion. It’ll help you to calm down.

Except you, there in the back. Yeah, you. No, don’t act all naive. It just doesn’t play on your face.
