What drives me

The other day a friend asked me “do you just sit around and think I’m gonna do that today?” and I had without hesitation I went into a long explanation of how I must know how everything works. As I left the question stuck with me and I began to take a hard look at my life. Since I was able to walk I had a burning desire to know how stuff works. As my father bought a set of encyclopedia I fell in love with them. If I had a question or thought off the encyclopedia I went to figure it out. Never have I been one to leave stuff alone let alone not know how to fix it, make it or understand the mechanics behind it.  Often times I find myself way to deep in something before reality hits and I have to back off. I am fortunate to be surrounded by people who support and cherish my passions. The down fall is that I only buy the best and must have enough to furnish a small army. This drive has led me to creating this and my website. I know it, learn it, master it and will pass it on here!

Why they call it falling

I guess Lee Ann Womack nailed it when she belted that song out. How many times have we been there? We say we are not going to fall for someone and then out of the blue, one little smile and its all out the window. Before we know what has happened we are picking ourselves up off the floor in pieces. More times that I would like to say, I have been hurt by caring too much.   Even more times than that I have sworn that I would not care and I would be ok with this one. Yet I continue to get hurt and am a friend to many who do the same thing. Is it so bad? I would rather go through life with pain than to live with nothing. Pain reminds me I am alive and that I still care. It is a burden to bare a life lived without emotions. We are creatures of love and compassion. We live our lives trying to be a part of something and more of that time is spent trying to care. We gauge ourselves and others on how they care. We almost set ourselves up to cause and feel pain. Many even try to end thing...

Life: Is It Yours?

Life is such a beautiful gift which we often squander. Possessions, fame, notoriety and simple vain drama leads us to merely travel through life. As I stated on Facebook the other day, I fought to get into this world and my life is a constant struggle, yet I cherish every second of it. Several times I have looked into the darkness and had it look back only to awake me from my momentary lapse of reason and fight for my life. Never do we fight as hard as we do when life is involved. Be it ours, a loved one or in the line of duty we fight for life. Yet so many of us do not own the life we are given. As Americans we believe in a rich life filled with stuff and status points, sadly though many of us are not living. Life is for the living and not those merely burdened by the “status possession monster”. Sound like a load of crap? Do yourself a favor and ask yourself some questions. As you sit alone and honest with yourself be truthful and ask if you are living or surviving. I often am survi...

What Shall We Do?

In a conversation the other night I recanted my limited knowledge on dealing with “your equal”. Some love to view people as equals and place them high upon that pedestal but do they truly belong there? Equals is a term that may need to be better defined. As we take a hard look at ourselves in all our glory and flaws what do you see? Many see what they want, a few see what they hope to be and even less see that part of ourselves that others love. So now that we sized our self up and accepted it, what do we do with it? Many relationships are built on some form of dependence. I can honestly say that I am grown and don’t need a mother, cook, maid or some spineless rug for me to walk all over.  As I say all too often, that is not the skill set you are “applying for”.  In all this voyage of life sometimes we meet “ourselves in others” and then it gets interesting. Finally a true equal who is worth the title but yet we are at a loss of how to deal with this person. To many times it...
