A Pen, 3 Cigarettes and 2 bottles of Guinness

Pen
Through sickness and health, I give you my love.  Until you need a new soul, only then will I love you again, after that moment of anger dissipates and you have a new soul.

It takes a lot to frustrate me to the point where I need a cigarette and Guinness.  Job & Texas, you've managed to do it yet again, in only a matter of days.  The crazy thing is I don't like cigarettes that much at all, but when the stress and anger come in, my god you are so sweet, perfect, soothing, calming; you are a sheep in wolves clothing.  You are the incarnation of love.  And Guinness, you are the incarnation of beauty.  If you were a living breathing soul, I would declare my love for you without a moments hesitation (I'd do that any time.  Not due to stress or anger).  Then, I turn on old Rolling Stones, not the crap they only play on the radio.  The stuff that doesn't get played.  I calm down and now that the anger and stress have left, I feel the dirty taste on my tongue of that cigarettes.  My head is light.  I take another sip of Guinness.

Treehouse

Wondering around a bookstore, waiting for someone, I wondered into the architecture section.  Wait!  Let me say I have a love hate relationship with bookstores.  I have to limit myself from going into them once a month, or every two weeks.  The thing is, I won't stop buying books if I go.
So, back to the point, I wondered into the architecture section and found this book, "Treehouses of the World."
My god, how amazing these treehouses are.  Just looking at them made me feel like a kid again.  I felt was remembering a time that doesn't exist.

Interesting Fact 1: Eskimo Man Milk

It is not widely known that Eskimo men lactate, but it is very true.  In fact, interesting fact, if you visit an Eskimo diner or restaurant you can order your coffee, cocoa, a slice of pie, cake, or cereal with either dairy milk, goat, soy, rice, almond, or Eskimo man milk.  
In fact, interesting fact, it isn't widely know, but it decreases and slows down the aging process.  The famous Palin is actually 113 years old, but she began drinking Eskimo milk a the age of 30.  Imagine how youthful she would look if she started at such a younger age.
So, if you visit an Eskimo diner or restaurant, don't be bashful, order a warm tall glass of Eskimo milk.  They will actually go to your table, put the glass out and pump away right in front of you, to show that it's fresh!
So, that is my interesting fact for this week.  Make sure you share it at dinner parties or cocktail parties.  It's a great conversation starter.  "So, did you know Eskimo men lactate?"  You'll be the most interesting person in the room.




Please be patient and stick around for next weeks interesting fact.  You'll be amazed that you didn't know it.

No, Maybe Not

I was going over past competitions, and seems 2nd and down do not get published on the website.  The grand prize winner and 1st do, I think.  I'm not that concerned about it.  In fact, I am a little disappointed now that my excitement has worn away.  I didn't think I would win anything, so I re-wrote the short story that won 4th place.  I think the story is much better, and it makes me wonder if I had sent this version in, would I have maybe won 2nd or 1st.  There's nothing I can do about that, but submit it somewhere else.  If it does or doesn't get published on the website, I'll still submit it to another magazine or and online magazine.  Something.

Also, I've decided I'm going to begin a search for interesting facts.  I'll try to come up with some interesting facts weekly for my, as of right now, 2 readers.  So, here it goes....

A Letter From the Past

I was digging in my chest for a pouch, which I use to hold pennies.  I save all of my change to do my laundry.  As I was digging through the chest I found a letter.  I had written this letter to myself on October 21, 1999.  I've seen it from time to time, but left it alone in keeping the promise not to open it until the date on the envelope: October 21, 2010.
Today, I found it by accident, and opened it.  Holy crap, was I crazy!  I was expecting things to read something along the lines of: "I hope to have traveled the world."  "I want to be a photographer."   Something along those lines seemed to be far from what I was thinking at the time.
I'm not going to be type what was written in the letter, but it's pretty insane to see how different I am from then.  I see it as a better than worse off.  The letter must be destroyed!

This isn't that new to me.  This isn't old to me either.  I was blogging on myspace, until I only had one follower.  Now that follower seems to have jumped over on the other side.  I figure this page will hold, when the inevitable happens and the other site is forgotten, joining the ranks of friendster and others.  I hope I gather a following here.

Eventually I'll try to post pieces of my work, as they become published.  I hope I'm not getting too ahead of myself with that comment, but lately things seem somewhat safe to type that.

I'll leave this as my first blog.  Adios.
