Virginia Breeze

Today the weather turned hot and humid so I guess play time is over. We had a nice run but now it’s time for some real Virginia weather. I came home and made a drink. The flipped the switch on the AC unit recently installed and sat down to see what was happening here.

I have more time now to go out and read blogs and meet people. My blogs are running (more or less) and it really is fun and interesting to meet other bloggers. Robin Easton is a jewel. And Evita of Evolving Wellness is another very special person. I read her posts and the hair on my neck starts to tingle.

What?!!

Oh no. That’s a good thing actually. It’s not something that my wife minds because it’s a thought process more than anything else based on my fascination with the sincerity and single mindedness of her approach to health and our wellbeing.

So I was reading her post about alcohol and the fact that it is poison while I was enjoying my rum and coke. The big old rum bottle was sitting there. Empty. And I had planned to go out and get another one.

But then I decided not too. I need all my remaining brain cells.

Pretty desperately in fact at this point.

And then Robin and I were talking about fear and dying. I think we agreed that being dead is not really a problem. Because after all we can fly when we are in our spirit bodies. And we all want to do that.

I mean if we could buy tickets to do it there would be long lines out to the sidewalk every day.

Not to die but just to fly. And then we were talking about the hard part actually being PAIN. I fear pain. And I was watching Henry last night on Showtime (The Tudors) go ballistic and start torturing all these poor guys who had done nothing.

Because he thought they had slept with Ann. And by the time he got done with them they all said “Well yes. I did sleep with her” even though they hadn’t. Because you know you will say anything if someone tortures you.

They wouldn’t even have to torture me. I would be like “Please just let me know what you think I did. I’m pretty sure I did it. Just remind me if you would about the details. I’m a little forgetful”.

Torture is so stupid. You want the truth? Forget it. You want someone to agree with you. NO PROBLEM.

They put the poor fiddle player on the rack and pulled him apart. I was very upset even though I know he is an actor and can hit that high C note without being stretched if he wants to do it.

I couldn’t sleep. I’m still upset about it. How can one human being do these things to another human being?

“I was just doing my job mister. I work here in the Tower of London. I’ve got five kids at home to feed. And I just turn the wheel. Somebody else brings em in here. Maybe they should have not gotten themselves in trouble”.

Please. I need to stop watching television. Putting torture on tv is worse than letting naked men and women have at it. And what it says about the human race is much worse.

I recently had a talk with Beth about blogging and spending time on a blog. Beth doesn’t really see why blogging is so much fun. And she’s right. Sometimes it’s not a lot of fun. But sometimes it is really fun. And that’s the part she doesn’t understand.

As I have said before my medical conditions play a part in blogging. And please don’t start looking around for a nice comfortable spot on the carpet to do some serious laughing. Guys I’m not suggesting you use this tactic unless you actually have a real condition that is helped by blogging. Probably there should be some medication involved and regular visits to your doctor. My condition is RLS or Restless Legs Syndrome. And sitting at the computer helps to keep it away. I tried playing computer games like Gothic 3 and Oblivion to deal with this issue but they became boring after awhile. So I started doing this and it does help.

So Beth and I were having this conversation about blogging and I was trying to make some good points about why blogging is good for people. It’s difficult to get it to come out right when you are an introvert as noted in past posts. So I really should have had this conversation as an email exchange over a couple of days.

But sometimes things don’t work out as you hope and we had this conversation about blogging. And I said, “You know people actually make money blogging!”. Well, that was my big mistake. Because just as surely as night follows day and controversy follows your average tweeny star the response came back “Prove it”.

So I have to do something about it. And it might be interesting to find out what is going on with this. I’m talking about the Google ad thingy that was approved for this blog. It’s out there somewhere and I have to go find it. Then I have to figure out how to put it up here. But I did the Blog Rush thingy yesterday and it seems to be working. So maybe I can install it without getting code related poison ivy. Actually this Blog Rush thingy is kind of interesting. If you click on it here and discover what is going on and do it we can start our journey to link heaven together. That might be fun! Maybe we will meet Elvis!

I am not happy about the Ad thingy however. And it may not last long. But if it keeps me here blogging I must try it. If things don’t work out I may have to try a different hobby. Like fishing……

We will be going back to Virginia Beach next month for awhile. It’s actually very nice there in September. Towards the end of the month they have the Neptune Festival. Artists come from all over and make these incredible sand sculptures. It’s very interesting watching them go about their business. And I will be sure to get some photos this year.

I need to do chapter five in Ms. Jamieson’s book Create Your Own Photo Blog. I wouldn’t call it a review. Because who am I to review her wonderful book? It’s more like reading it out loud in case somebody else is interested in this subject. The problem is that chapter five is about code. And I feel about code the way I feel about poison ivy. Maybe we will try to break the chapter down into three or four posts so each one only takes a couple of minutes.

From time to time bloggers have asked me about trading links. So I set up the Blog Catalog page to include links to different blogs of interest. And I put up a notice about it on my profile page at Blog Catalog a couple of days ago. So, of course, nobody seems interested in it now! Which is fine.

Okay, I think I have procrastinated long enough. Actually, I really should enjoy going to the cemetery to take pictures. It’s a fun place. People are dying to get in there.

Sorry.
