#TRUTH

Tripthelight10
I avoid engaging in political discourse here - and will continue to do so. It's pointless. I have very strong opinions on our current state of affairs, I'm borderline obsessive frankly. But reality is, you don't care who or what I support, and, no matter...I can't change what you think…

RISE

Tripthelight10
All true - those meandering drafts, with an initial point of view and topic, but ultimately unworthy of share to the 4 or 5 of you who actually visit this site and read any of this shit. At last count twenty eight thoughts unfinished. Twenty eight goals un-achieved. Twenty eight…

FINISH

Tripthelight10
I'm at that point where I've got 28 posts sitting as drafts.  I can't seem to finish like I could when I was younger.  Doesn't even matter if it's not Sunday - I can't get it done any longer. For years I've been working on meandering observations, topical essays, I've…

MY SUPER HERO

Tripthelight10
It may surprise you to know that the Mrs. and I (well, mainly the Mrs.) are a couple of nerds.  Oh sure, I know...most of you see us as trend setting party hoppers but the reality is, more often than not we can be found spending our leisure time watching…

THE CURLY SHUFFLE

Tripthelight10
So the other night yet another news story featuring the remaining Republican candidates for the "Presidential" nomination was blaring on the TV in the background while Chrissy scrolled endlessly on her iPhone and I was Googling effective ways to get the IRS off my ass.  Naturally, it got us talking…

FALLING DOWN

Tripthelight10
FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 2011 FALLING DOWN With the looming influence of the tea-baggers of the extreme right of the GOP poised to further destroy the remaining embers of this shattered nation, I hope that a few of the fringe might take just a moment to research more of what the…

REPOST

Tripthelight10
SATURDAY, JULY 23, 2011 REPOST I'm not a fan of following trends in social media. Don't get me wrong, I Tweet, I You Tube and I Facebook.  I used to MySpace but I don't tell too many people that.  I even used to use AOL chat back in the day…

BOWLING

Tripthelight10
SATURDAY, JULY 16, 2011 BOWLING There are plenty more times when I simply leave a pending article in draft mode than I actually post.  Indicates a very short attention span, in addition to the fact that I can't complete a thought.  Every once in a while I meander back through…

STING

Tripthelight10
SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2011 STING The sting stops. But the pain is always there, although that too does quiet over time. This date, for the past 33 years has always sucked and always will. What's always baffled me is how a simple number on a calendar can immediately toss one…

TWO

Tripthelight10
FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2011 TWO There's plenty of reasons why we're selling Giddyland.  Not the least of which is that we feel we can cut our work in half.  Maybe it's me, but I think it's the house.   You see I have to do everything twice.   Sometimes three…

AMAZING

Tripthelight10
FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2011 AMAZING Ever capture a moment of realization? Glanced quickly out of the bedroom window early this evening.  The view overlooks the front yard with a nice catch of the horizon as it bleeds into the dusk. The sky was that mix of pending storm with some…

REMEMBER

Tripthelight10
TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2011 REMEMBER I've been told I have a big ego. Although outwardly I often react by denying it, shuffling my feet in some imaginary sand and offering a trite reply such as "Aw Shucks no I don't ma'am" or some other lame retort. Facts are facts -…

LOST IN REALITY

Tripthelight10
MONDAY, MAY 23, 2011 LOST IN REALITY I've spent the better part of the past week and a half attempting to escape my version of reality. A strategic self imposed torment designed in part to cleanse my mind of the dogma I found myself nearly being swallowed by. Today I…

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN

Tripthelight10
SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 2011 NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN There's very few things more uncomfortable than a wake.  What with an indiscriminate assortment of people all wondering the same thing about you that you are of them - what's your relationship to the deceased and are you appearing appropriately sad? …

MATURITY

Tripthelight10
TUESDAY, JULY 27, 2010 MATURITY So, there's lots going on.  I'm sure that it's the same for you, whether you know it or not.  Sometimes it's just what's in your head.  Other times it's physically right in front of you in your own perception of a reality. Let me paint…

LIFE’S MEASUREMENT

Tripthelight10
MONDAY, MAY 24, 2010 LIFE'S MEASUREMENT We attended a funeral Friday morning for a friends sister who passed away at only forty two years of age. Not nearly enough time for her to do everything she wanted to no doubt. Very sad indeed. Yet the service, attended by literally hundreds…

THE WATCHER

Tripthelight10
TUESDAY, MAY 18, 2010 THE WATCHER There are so many things you can learn - you just have to be open to it.  In my life I've learned that it's just better to be accepting of others opinions, even though I may disagree.  I enjoy a spirited debate on pretty…
