There I was, like a good sailor, ready at the beckon call,sBut life doesn’t always play fair. This I know for sure. How often can one get beat in the head in order to realize what the path is? Is it the path of least resistance?sHow long do we have to be on a detour in life, just to realize that it is simply that… a detour? Hoping back on the important things can make life more meaningful… sI forgot the simple things, such as how much I have enjoyed writing. It got away from me… but It’s coming back! And much stronger now than before. There was a time when I would spend lots of time writing in my journals, underneath the sea. I wrote about my experiences with people, and the situations that revolved around me. There is nothing like looking back in time through your own writings. You get to whisper the thoughts of the past. Unlike any novel that you could possibly ever write, this one is real… This one is you.sI know how uplifting the experience can be when you are alone and given the time to write a few pages in your journal. Just you and your thoughts, creating memories that you can relive for a lifetime, but not just you, anyone you choose.s——————————————-sSo belly up to the bar with me, and enjoy this drink on the house. It’s a smooth one, that we’ll both enjoy. You too can sit at this counter and think about the days of future past. Write your dreams, write your inspirations, write your stories of the love lorn. Inside that cranium of your is more than you can ever know. Just like a good musician can make people sing, you can make people dream.sThere is only one way to do it, just keep writing! Keep dreaming!s——————————————–sAnd now A Thought! :)sPerceptionss———-sBy JuddsLook out on the sea during a night a dark as dark can be,sWhat do you see?sNot even the sea!sLook up in the sky on a dark desert night, with no haze in the sky,sWhat do you see?sStars shining on you and me.sWhat does it mean?sWhat does it mean?sYour perceptions of things are not always as the seem,sThe sky always has stars, even if you can’t see ’em.

Well, I saw Men in Black II yesterday. It was ok, not the best movie, ie I don’t think it lived up to the hype, but I enjoyed it. I think that StarWars has been living up to the hype much better.sAnd it seems that we survived through a “post Sept 11th” 4th of July holiday with little more than a warning and a shooting in the LAX terminal at EL AL. An egyptian was shot dead ending the situation. 2 people died.sI will be walking down all the facilities today at ATLAS V – Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral AFS. I can’t wait to see this new rocket program.sI’ve decided to give the carpet folks a piece of my mind, since they screwed up the repair of my carpet. I think they need to replace it.sOh, I almost forgot, I have a job interview this wed… I might be a Systems Test Engineer, Assoc how about that!sWish me luck!s-J

Just a quick Happy Birthday America…sThe Day of Our Independence…sHope everyone gets to see fireworks.s-J

Hmmm….sThe Cursor is gone… Imagine that!sThis is the morning of our discontent, and I am ready to meet the day, since Tomorrow will be the day of our Independence!sSo Today is Hotdog day at work, and we’re giving away 24 of ’em just because we can… and that is always a good thing.sStarbucks Brew this morning: House BlendsI’ll wait until I get to work and then I’ll eat my Thomas’ Waffles. Ha!sWell, I guess I’m alone in all this, at least at this point. Well, I better run… I’ll put something else online later.s-J

I’m thinkin’ about this journal, and I wonder if I should create some sort of templated structure to it. Maybe create some certain items that are always addressed. It would be with the thought that I could see a trend over time of different things. Like maybe I could write the Main Courses of the day, or number of cups of coffee I’ve drank. sWell, I definately need to get some sleep, I know it seems early, but I’ve been up way too late the last few nights and I have some catchin’ up to do. Hopefully tomorrow will be a more productive day concerning the College Paper.sWe’ll see on that.sAnd now A PoemsThe powerful breathe of the dragonsGave Bilbo quite a scare,sThe adventures of life are all done on a dare.s Where does it begin?s And where does it end?sTravel through the mind and go to places that no one has been,sWarping all that is percieved to be right and true.s Park yourself in the recesses of your minds and find your heart.sThere is a journey, but we’re not alone.sOur friends are near when times are bad,s Thank you Ben! (Franklin)s-J

I can’t believe it’s time to go to work again. Yuck! I feel like I haven’t gotten any sleep… If you can believe that. Well, hopefully I will finish up the paper for the most part today. Editing the dang thing usually takes as long to write it. At least I have some time at work to mess with it.sBreakfast this morning will be Special K’s and Starbucks Coffee…sCatchya Later s-J

Welcome to the evening posting…sWell, the Carpet fiasco seems to be complete at the moment. They came and finished what they had to do to reseam. I’m glad about that. But it looks like it is short, and as quick as they left, I think they knew it would be short and inadequate. I’m not sure what the next thing to do is. I really don’t want to pull all the clothes and everything out of all of the closets, but you gotta do what you gotta do.sI have one last section before the conclusion to do on my report, and it is impromptu speaking. I don’t think my paper is as good as I was hoping it would be. But I think it will be adequate for a C. And all I have to do is get a passing grade, and I will have my BS degree! Woo Woo!sI just need to get it done. I think that I will have enough evidence though paperwork and other things to provide I am well knowledgeable about Public Speaking.sI’ll catch you all on the flip side… and while I’m think about it, put in that Beatles CD and listen to the song that this journal is all about…

I know we like ’em… so here they are! :)s-Js

You are 50% evil! [?]You? Evil? Half way there! You’re 50%, meaning you can’t always be trusted…well, half of the time! You’re the perfect balance between good and evil, but being that much evil isn’t always good…s

	I am strong. Almost invincibly so. To attack me physically is foolish. I am not however without my soft spots. I am quiet by nature, but am in command of great force. All I ask is a little peace, and a little solidarity. Deny me my space, and I just might get angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. What’s your superpower?

Yeppers, I’m still awake, and I have no idea why. I’m doing some laundry, and you know how exciting that is. But atleast I have a good Beatles CD to keep me company as I figure out what I want to do this evening for another 30 minutes or so, until it’s all done for the evening.sSo much to do and not much time to do it, so it seems. It would seem that the job of cleaning up things never ends. I need a break. Just to really relax. But it just doesn’t seem that I ever get one. I would just like to kick back and let some things go on occassion… but that just always present itself as a viable option.sWell, since I’ll be working on my College paper next week, I figure I should have scant daily dribblings, but there will be something here for sure. On the other hand, it will be mostly complete by next friday, so then I can concentrate on some new and exciting projects, such as my myriad websites and some stories and screenplays that I have been putting off for way too long.sWell, this is good.sI took this picture with my digital camera on a cruise to Nassau recently.s-J

Well Now, time for bed… and what are ya gonna do? I’ve been moving patio blocks all day. Over 50 of ’em, and my body is sore. I can’t wait to get a good night sleep. I know that it’s a good workout though. I’m trying to get a bit of weight lifting in, but who knew it would be from working out in the yard. Maybe I’ll post a pict of the finished patio. I can’t believe how much writing I’ve done with this LiveJournal. I’m glad to get back on track with writing. I think that this has really invigerated my creativity, and I’ll be able to move forward from this self-analysis, where I put my thoughts. The occassional voyuer is always welcome, and comments are always encouraged. After all, what is a life unexamined? :)sAnd now A PoemsSleepin’ to dreams—————-sBy JuddsThese arms are tired, and require rest,sThis body is tired and requires rest.sSleep is the fix for the pains of the day.sSleep is the answer for total exhaustion.sSleep is the refreshing solution,sIt’s seven parts deep sleep, one part REM.sAnd when I pass into the realm of dreams,sWhere I meet people that never were,sAnd see the things that never was,sI will know I have much more to reach for.sEven when you sleep with someone else,sYou still are by yourself.sYour partner can’t travel with you down,sWhere your deepest secrets lie.sThe place where you are not in control,sThe place where you know you’ve met the spirits,sAnd they communicate with you in metaphores.sAnd now it’s time to wake up.s-J
