I just finished watching the season finale of Touch and it inspired a post of same name and tonight’s episode inspired even more. I know I was on this earth, in this Universe, to make a difference, a positive force in the world and for the last few weeks, I haven’t felt that. In all honesty, I felt like I had no purpose or need to … Continue reading Whole Again
This is a perfect home to me. I like simple living. When I moved from 418 to 470, I got ride of 70% of everything I owned. Books, furniture, clothing, knick knacks, etc. The other 30%, if I could toss it all, I would have started from scratch. I want the above. Right on or near a beach in Australia. Any beach will do. And … Continue reading Airstream Daydream

It’s be a week and some days since I posted last. May is crazy. It’s the 16th and I feel like I’ve had my ass kicked all across the month of May. I still have 15 days to go. If I can make it to next weekend without snapping, I’ll be all right. It’s crazy months like these that I can withdraw from the world … Continue reading Doing Nothing

Monday, April 23rd – 486 round trip miles Destination: Atlanta, GA I drove down with my friend JJ and his sister, Sarah to see Rammstein (one of my top 5 favorites bands).

“Missing You” by John Waite was one of my mom’s favorite songs. When I hear it or “I Can Dream About You” by Dan Hartman, I will always think of her. She’d sing along off key like it was no one’s business. She loved music just as much as I did. Now-a-days, when I hear the song, it’s almost at a moment when I need … Continue reading Missing You
I’m a Buffett fan. I wear the name Parrothead proudly. Buffett has always inspired me, told me stories through songs, etc. “12 Volt Man” is one of my favorite songs. I have always felt this song describes who I am to tee. “Sometimes I may be a little drastic, Sometimes I just let my feelings show, Sometimes I may be a bit sarcastic, most times … Continue reading 12 Volt Man
This was on my Dad’s Facebook under Favorite Quotations: “An old black man told me when I was 7 yrs old, (We called him “Mr. Sadler”) To be what you is! Don’t worry about what other people think about you. Don’t try to be something you’re not. That’s what I’ve lived by and raised my children by.” And he did. I have always remembered my … Continue reading Words to Live By
Over the last few days, weeks, months…however long it has been, I have realized that I just don’t put up with a lot of shit. I can’t stand people who are whoa-is-me, look-at-me, etc. I just have no patience for it or tolerance for it. I have a friend who’s going through a shitty part of life right now and I remember saying to her … Continue reading Happiness Is…
“Far Side of the World” by Jimmy Buffett played on my iPod and I realized, it captured the essence of why I love to travel and why I started this website and blog. I love to travel: drive, fly, cruise, walk…whatever. If I can travel, I am happy. I will travel for work, for fun, for personal reasons, and just because. There is nothing better … Continue reading Far Side of the World
