2006 RESOLUTION part 4 & 5

I RESOLVE TO NO LONGER PRETEND that I am NOT a semi country fan.
Proof of my future retention of goal: I am right now...

LISTENING TO: Carrie Underwood : Jesus Take the Wheel
"...I can't do this on my own...I'm letting go...give me one more chance..."
on the Tonite show, and LOVING IT!
FYI: COUNTRY songs often have cool stories in them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I RESOLVE TO ALSO STOP PRETENDING THAT I AM NOT A HUGE SCI-FI GEEK.
Proof of my future redemtion: I am about to reveal how super excited I am about December 6th 2006
You would think it was my b-day or my wedding day or somethin' WRITE?
Well WRONG...
DEC 6TH
marks the new season of Sci-Fi Friday!!!!

DYING TO WATCH: Battlestar GALACTICA season 3
NOW TRUST ME, I'm not alone in my excitement about the up and coming season.
in fact, this past holiday weekend, myself and my siblings got together in Sunny Ft Lauderdale, and instead of fresh warm air and sun filled days on the beach, I kid you not, pretty much the entire weekend was spent BSG marathon watching and theory discussions on what to expect from the show...analyzing this and that scene...
We're ALL actually quite excited.
And so are a couple other million viewers that I've met these past few months on Science Fiction chatrooms.

Further proof of my geekdom would be my next rooftop exclamation:
I COMMAND YOU ALL TO RENT THE 1ST 2 SEASONS OF BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, then join me in my obsession with this show. Honestly though, the episodes all feel like a feature film to me.

as for the rest of sci fi Friday...
I have exremley high hopes for STARGATE SG-1 although i'm still incredibly depressed Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver) has retired off the show...he was my hero. I didn't care he was getting old. He's MACGYVER for Christs sakes.
Anyway, i'm such a dork, I can't help but stay loyal to the show and it's spin-off STARGATE ATLANTIS.

New Years Resolution 2006 part 3

Support the Homeless

Spare Change has been running poetry regularly since it began in May of 1992.
http://www.homelessempowerment.org/
My newest poem
Hum The Baseline
is in the issue of Spare Change News that will be released on December 22nd.
The poem is on page 6.
I'm glad it's in and made the cut. As you'll see they cut the poetry page down to half a page. I'm told that Spare Change used to have two pages, then they cut one, I hope this is not an attempt to eliminate the poetry because words give us hope.

2006 RESOLUTION part 2

I saw a friend on stage today/last nite. It really was a good show. It was a "Made me want to write more" type show. Made me hope I was making a difference too. Funny how I made it "about me"...I almost always manage to do that. But then again, what else is there to live for but the constant pull of trying to find new ways to make YOU better then you were yesterday, last month, LAST YEAR.

Truth: I love you. Keep making me want to be better.

2006 Resolutions part ONE

New Year is on the horizon...
Reminds me how greatful I am to have family around me.

Truth: Sometimes I want to write so bad it gets difficult to breath.

Dear 2006,
I promise to write more so I don't have anymore breathing problems.

i promise to try and not allow inconsiderate annoying customers who come into the pharmacy bother me to the point where i feel i HAVE to write about them in a blog.

I promise to say I love you more.

i promise to say I hate my day job LESS.

I promise to complete a sophmore album before 2007.

I promise to MAKE time for a TOUR.
Just tell CVS

I QUIT!

for like 3 months.

Ok, honestly... I don't mind my job that much...I mean, I do enjoy essentially "being" a pharmacist...
It's just that I know I need to allow myself to tip the balance towards more of the artistic revolutions.
So...
I promise to not allow my voice to become another drowned employee trapped in a cycle of pay checks and coorporate motivated inititives.

I promise to remind myself that we all have a purpose in this world and most of the time that purpose is not stuck on a shade of grey...
In fact, occasional splashes of COLOR have always been permitted to infiltrate the path of the monotones.
