Ramblings of Silver Blue

Stolen from Dawn’s. 1. I’ve come to realize that my last kiss was… completely unexpected. 2. I am listening to… my favourite playlist on my ipod with Scissor Sisters, BT, Maroon 5, P!nk, Roxette, Annie Lennox, and Donna Summer. 3. I talk… far too much. 4. I love… listening to music. 5. My best friends… [...]

…you don’t really want to mess with me tonight…. I’m in a weird mood tonight as the rain and storm and lightning passes through the area. It’s been a good day, all things considered. It was the end of our fiscal year, and I had to sit through a butt numbing meeting telling me nothing. [...]

Finally, the end of the week. Woo Hoo. We’ve got a big line of storms headed this way for this afternoon; I still have afternoon coffee planned with Coffeemate — there’s a problem, though, guy. Starbucks closes at 3:45 — want to meet at the one on 21st street or in Ghent? Let me know. [...]

Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked Long ago in the sweet used to be And the flowers still grow, but they dont smell as sweet As they did when you picked them for me And when I think of you and the love we once knew How I wish we could [...]

That’s the number of pounds I need to lose — 1.1, to be below 220 for the first time in nearly seven years. All without the help of weight loss pills, laxatives, enemas, or barfing my brains out. Pray for me. This is an important milestone for me, at least psychologically.

There’s a rant I have building about something I call Industrial Terrorism. Of course, the government will claim this doesn’t occur, and that we need to focus on Homeland Security to keep America Safe. I say we need to focus on it to keep America EMPLOYED. The government seems to be so worried about attacks [...]

Well, there’s a lot of backstory to why I haven’t been blogging up a storm, but I really don’t feel like getting into it. I’ll simply allude to a situation that includes depression, a pulled chest muscle that makes it feel like a heart attack in progress, heat, and general apathy. I’ve caught up with [...]

Three month check up. Left picture, taken March 25, 2007, where I weighed in at (shudder) 270, with a 42 inch waist. The photo on the right, taken June 24, 2007, when I weighed in at 223, and have a 37 inch waist. 3 months down, 47 pounds gone, 5 inches off my waist. Miles [...]

I’m alive, I didn’t forget about you, and yes, I haven’t given up blogging. Just a lot of stuff going on, schedules being revamped, and stuff like that. Not much to talk about; thanks for the couple of you who sent an email to make sure I was ok and hadn’t drowned. I haven’t; at [...]

Rejected title: This post has to last until Tuesday Well…today is going to be stressful, to say the least. I will be sining two new songs at church today, one’s a duet, one’s a solo. The duet is a reinterpretation of Amy Grant’s song “Fat Baby” (from the Age to Age album), the second is [...]

Well…. life’s not fair, and we learn to live with that. The idea is to not let it get you down. As they say: Cheer up…the chicken feels worse. It’s almost lunch time around here, but, I’ve a few things on my mind that need to be blogged. I remember being leaving my second real [...]

I just received my copy of Bosson’s latest CD, “Future’s gone tomorrow, Life is here Today” and, well, IT’S AUTOGRAPHED!

Keep Bone Collector’s father in your prayers, as he is on his way back to the hospital (albeit this time to Sentara Leigh and not Chesapeake General) because of complications with his Gall Bladder. Pray for Eleanor because she really REALLY needs to find a different job. Her current supervisor is unbearable, and her love [...]

Yesterday ended up being busier than I could have thought about being. It was good, however, and the retail gods smiled upon me, allowing me to find a copy of the Digital Travel Photography Digital Field Guide brand new for $4.24. I’d run across a copy of the book about six months ago, but the [...]

I’m not sure exactly where this post is going to go, but I feel the need to get some things off my chest. I started writing the introduction to what I think I’ve decided on naming the 2009 supplement: “The Heart And Soul of Silver Blue” (which may not even be a supplement, but may [...]

Still, it made me laugh. Think “manscape”. Legitimate.

Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. Always remember that you’re unique. Just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not in the best of mood this morning. Not because it’s 67 degrees outside (Hell, yesterday, it was 76, so the cool-down is appreciated), but because the popularity of the blog is once again on the wane. 16 visitors for the day as of right now. Mind [...]

I’ve posted on her blog the info I know. Please continue to keep her and her family in your prayers.

Johnny sent me the most awesome closeup of a seahorse! It’s amazing that nature can create such beauty.

G’morning everyone. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not going to be going to my 20th high school reunion, even if it does happen. The cost of $120 seems to be, to me, exuberant (there’s an hors d’oeuvre mixer, a picnic, and a dinner — we’d get a t-shirt. Woo.). Besides the fact that [...]

Bone Collector’s dad is in the hospital as they attempt to determine what is wrong, whether it’s pancreatis or something else. She spent most of the day with her family in the emergency room today; they’ve managed to get his vomiting under control, but they don’t know what’s caused it. Please keep EVERYONE in that [...]

Forwarded on by Carol. These 16 Police comments were purportedly taken off actual police car videos from around the country: #16 “You know, stop lights don’t come any redder that the one you just went through.” #15 “Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch after you wear them a while.” #14 “If [...]

…but since I want to play, I’m butting in. (Besides, my friend Pisco was tagged, so maybe they won’t be too upset for an outsider getting in on some of the fun.) 1.I have to post these rules before I give you the facts. 2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 3. [...]
