Stay the Course? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I usually try to stay away from political commentary,and focus on world events from my own spiritual perspective.BUT! This mid-term election campaign is driving me upthe frickin' wall! The candidates here in New Mexico have gotten really mean, nasty, and vindictive, which makes me wonder why anyone would vote for ANY of them in the first place!AND!!!Would somebody, by all that's holy, right, and true,PLEASE explain to me what all these candidates, campaigners, and pundits mean when they say things like:"Stay the course: America wins!Don't stay the course: America loses!"WHAT THE FRAK DOES THAT MEAN?!! WHAT exactly do we (America) win by staying the course? Or, WHAT do we lose by not? Is there a prize waiting in the wings somewhere that we haven't been informed about?Sheesh! Who comes up with this crap?!And who really wins that prize, if there is one?! Think about it, before you answer. Don't give me the pre-programmed answers everyone else has been brain-washedwith by popula
Halloween? But, It's November! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Man! It's November
already! Yep, that's right, I said "November". In fact, it was November for me a week ago. Sacrilege!Yeah. Yeah, I know...whatever! It's October 31st. Halloween
. But,Halloween just doesn't do it for me. It's not even a REAL holiday (IN MY WORLD!!) And, here's a "heads-up" to all you wonderful Halloweener's out there: Don't send me comments/emails trying to convince me otherwise. It ain't gonna work! LOL! Yeah. She's real stubborn like that.I usually just skip the end of October, and go straight for the "real" holidays! You know the ones I mean. Those holidays where you're "dashing through the snow", while your "chestnuts are roasting on an open fire", and "Jack Frost is nipping at your nose",if ya' get mah drift. Although, Jack may have a hard time if you happen to live in warm climate like Hawaii, but I'm sure he'll find a way. What-the-Figgy-Puddin' is she talkin' about now?!WOOOOHOOO! Three weeks til "turkey day"! Then...ON WITH THE SHOW!
Thanksgiving Day is Mine! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Hallelujah! My Thanksgiving
Day meal is done a day early!I cooked and cleaned all day today. Tomorrow I have nothing to do 'cept veg out, watch movies, and nibble onthe wonderful meal I fixed... for me! Yes, that's right, I said "for me"! Almost sad, but true. The reason I say "almost", is because this is the time of year when most people - in this country - gather 'round their family and friends, eat, drink, reminisce, fight, overeat, make-up, overeat, vow never to eat that much ever again, fix a HUGE doggie bag, go home, OR! realize they've committedto spending the whole weekend with people they barely know.I, on the other hand, as a single person, learned several years ago, that I can bypass a lot of the "traditional" chaos - asexciting as it can be - by not being "guilted" into spending Thanksgiving Day outside the comfort of my own home.It took some doing, but I stood my ground and VOILA! Thanksgiving Day is Mine! Mine! All mine!My friends didn't grok it right away, especial
The Monday After Turkey Day! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY IT'S MONDAY!!Never thought I'd say that in a million years, but thenagain, I never thought I'd be suffering from 'food overload'! Aaaaare yyou okay?!Don't get me wrong. I had a wonderfully peaceful holidayand weekend, just like I'd planned, BUT! I never counted onall the goodies and treats my friends/neighbors would 'send'my way, IN ADDITION to the food I prepared for myself.SHEEESH!! That does it! As thankful as I am to be blessedwith a cornucopia of holiday food on my table, there isNO WAY on earth I'm doing that again. EVER!!I kept thinking of all the folk in the world who are struggling at this time in history just to survive, ANDthe all the animals it takes to keep our holiday traditions going, and fat on our holiday arses.I can't do this anymore!! I won't! Noooo! Say it ain't so!!As I've said before, we've got Chrismahanukwanzakah and New Year's coming up in a few weeks; I've decided I'm going to have a non-gluttonous holiday. Well, this shou Read more:Monday

It's Snowing...Again 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dang it! Dang it! Dang it!It's snowing. It's snowing again. It's snowing a lot.Seems like it's snowing more than we've had in the past 9 years. It started around 8:30 this morning, and hasn'tstopped.The new year post I made a few days ago, with the "GOT SNOW?" link showed images of the big snowfall in Albuquerque. That affected us in the Alien City (Roswell) too, but not like Albuquerque, and not like today.If only I hadn't opened my big mouth during a discussion with my friend Rosie, about how Roswell hadn't had a major snow since 1998 when it snowed 26 inchs within 24 hours, AND! that we were due to have another 'big snow' soon, because I was told that kind of snow-fall happens here about every 10 years, blah, blah, blah...Hopefully, this won't turn out to be it:WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM MST SATURDAY Yep! If I had only kept my mouth shut. I was quite happy with the itty bitty amount of snow we got the other day, which lasted a whole a split second. But na Read more:Snowing

Super Bowl Sunday! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ok, back to reality, sorta... It's Super
Bowl Sunday
! Super Bowl
Sunday!I have HUGE plans! I never thought I would go allout like I have for this game, but I got caught upin all the hoopla, and just couldn't help myself.There was no way out! I went to my bank Friday; the bank employees were wearing football jerseys, andserving punch and popcorn to all who came throughtheir doors. How can you compete with that?!So, this is what I plan to do in honor of today'sevents: I am going to shut down this machine forthe day, order a really great pizza from my favoritepizzeria, make a vat of iced tea, sit down in frontof the TV, and watch the Friends marathon on TBS.Yep! That's right. I said the "Friends" marathon.Wha'd you expect?! You didn't REALLY think I wasgonna watch the game, did you? C'MON!! I'm notTHAT far gone!The Bears and the Colts have more than enough fans to watch them play; they don't need my brain cells'undivided attention.Besides, we all know who's gonna win, don't Read more:Super Bowl Sunday
Roswell UFO Festival 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ok! Back to the mundane, Â at least for a minute:The 2006 Roswell
UFO Festival
begins tomorrow (Friday, June 30th - Monday, July 3rd).I have one thing to say: DANG IT!!  DANG IT!!  DANG IT!!(Ok... three things!)Yep! Our tourist season has officially started. This is the time of year - during the UFO festival - most of the locals, who are not in the tourist trade, run and hide. And, yes, I'll be hidin' right along with 'em!  I've lived in Roswell over twelve years, and I barely remember what my original hometown (Dayton, Ohio) was like.  I've even acquired a slight New Mexico/Texas twang in my speech.  SO,  Ahm a 'local' now, ahhh reckon!  Oh, don't get me wrong.  If folk want to visit our town; walk the streets dressed like aliens; swill green alien beer; dance at free street concerts; visit on-going panel discussions about the UFO phenomenon; then "by cranky!' go for it!BUT! If you're really brave, come to Roswell and hang out
Life Begins...Again! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 You're born. Life begins. Remember: Introduce yourself; say whatcha gotta say; do whatcha gotta do; give thanks; then get the *h* out! --- LifesingerHi! My name is Lifesingerâ„¢. It's a name given to me longago, for reasons you'll soon see. But, you can call me Life, or Lifey, as most of my friends on and offline do. I'm avisual artist and non-traditional educator. No, I'm NOT the "lifesinger" from"lifesinger.3322.org", or any other "lifesinger" you might see popping up when you Google. While I'm sure they may be wonderful folk,I'm the original from Roswell, and have been for years. Then again, it's not the name, but the character that counts, right? *wink*Anywho... I am writing to you from Roswell, New Mexico. Yep! Roswell, New Mexico: The UFO Capitol of the World... alledgedly.Folk constantly ask me: " Do ya' ever see any aliens?". My answer: "YES! every wonderful God-filled day! They come in all shapes, sizes, races, creeds, and colors. They have names like, Henry, Alphon Read more:Again

Glorious Days! Negative Attitudes. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The last few days have been absolutely glorious!Sunshine. Warm. Spring is definitely in the air!Now, you wouldn't know that from the neighbors I'vevisited over the last couple days. They all seem to have taken a 'negative attitude' pill or something.Then again, mayhaps they've always been that way, and I'm just now realizing it.Yikes! Ya' know what that means don't cha?It means: If I've never noticed their negativity beforenow, I must've been radiating that same negativity onsome level, or I wouldn't have attracted this experience into my life.Actually, I knew that about myself sometime ago. And, Ididn't like what I was allowing myself to become: A harpie! You know: Harping' on this! Griping' about that! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! HEAVEN FORBID!!!That's just NOT me!However, it becomes very easy when you're living in acommunity of basically good people, who unfortunately,for whatever reason, have allowed themselves to evolveinto chronic complainers. That kind of ne Read more:Negative
