| Sunday and i'm bored ;( |
Hi everyone,
Well it's sunday and I know I should be writing a new blog, but I have writers block :) I never was any good at doing this.
The wind has been blowing hard since last nite, (Santa Ana's as we call them in southern california). It messed up my wifes decorations she had on the door (shes not happy). I don't think any of us got a lot of sleep because of the winds. I guess that's all for now. As you can see, nothing much happens for me to write about.

| Here I am again:) |
HI to everone:)
I said I would try to write more and so here I go again. 
There is not much happening this week. I caught some kind of a bug and missed both my yoga class and my tai chi class. I hope the rest of this week goes better.
How is everyone else? I hope your week is going great. I guess thats all for now, see you soon.

| Meeting new people :) |
Hi everyone :)
Like I said, I am trying to get here as much as I can lately. 
I did manage to get to meet a group of people that share the same beliefs as I do the other evening. It was great to get out of the house for a change. 
I guess that's all for now, I'll get back on as soon as I can.

| Hi everyone |
Hi all,
I'm sorry that I have been away so long. I have not been all that well lately and it is hard to sit in front of a computer screen when you don't feel well. I will try to be here a little more often in the future.
Please be patient with me:)

| What Tarot card? |
I thought this was cute.....

You are The Sun
Happiness, Content, Joy.
The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.
Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.
The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

| The Internet |
Hi *waves*
You Are 72% Addicted to the Internet

In your opinion, life without the internet is hardly worth living.
Could be, but you probably need a bit more fresh air and sunshine to think clearly.
I have to agree with this:)

Hi all,
can't sleep so I thought I'd post this. I thought it was cute. and probably true. 
Your Power Element is Fire

Your power color: red

Like a fire, you are full of power and light.
A born leader, you easily draw people toward you.
You are full of courage and usually up for anything dangerous.
You have a huge ego and love to be the center of attention.

I just read a PM from Mistletoe about what this sick story is all about. It sickens me that in the turmoil of todays world that someone would do such a thing.
I hope it doesn't spoil the good vibes of this blog site for everyone. New Blog is one of the best places iv'e been to on the net. I hope everyone heals from this soon.
Brightest blessings and healing,

| Saturday Morning...... |
Well....
As you might have guessed I slept in late today. Several days waking up every hour or two finally got to me, but I feel much better now. (Now if I can just get to sleep tonight after sleeping so late). 
Tai Chi went better yesterday than I thought it would. (You know the walking dead). 
My instructor complemented me on my form:)
I'll try to say more tommorow , untill then, Brightest Blessings to everyone. Have a great weekend.

Hi all, 
I woke up every hour on the hour last night. I can't think of anything to say just yet. I have Tai Chi today, maybe I will be able to put two thoughts together when I get back.
Until then I wish everyone a happy and beautiful day.

| Getting slimmer....... |
Hi all,
My wife started weight watchers a couple of weeks ago. I decided to use the same diet that she was following. 
I exercise every day, stick to the diet, and she loses five pounds and I haven't lost an ounce. 
I have always lost weight faster than she has, and boy is she happy about being ahead of me this time. I guess I'll just have to exersise more this time. The race is on...
Brightest blessings, *hugs*

Hi all,
Well....I went to tai chi yesterday and it was the same form I use, however all the movements were in a different order. Now I know all the tai chi pros out there would have no problem with that. I on the other hand got trough it ok but it was very awkward. 
I guess after I do it a few more times it should get better. Other than that my day was pretty uneventful.
Today I plan to do as little as I can get away with. ( Very sore from yoga and tai chi this week). 
I wish everyone a wonderful and happy day.
*Blessings*

| Pagan and Shamanism: Celtic Horoscope..... |
You Are A Poplar Tree

People tend to look up to you, and it's a bit lonely at the top.
Inside, you are not always self confident, but you show great courage.
Mature and organized, you are reliable in any situation.
You tend to have an artistic or philosophical outlook on life.
You are very choosy in love and take partnership seriously.
I thought I'd see what this was about.

| Here I go again...... |
HI everyone,
Well... Today I start Tai Chi class. I have been doing tai chi for a number of yrs. but I have been unable to take a class for quite a while.
I do Yang 108, There really is a lot less moves than 108 because there are a lot of repeat moves. However that's what it's called. It really helps to calm me down and puts me in a meditative mood. 
I wish everyone a wonderful day.

| Back to normal:) |
Hi all,
Well, i'm back to normal, still a little sore from monday's yoga but a lot better. 
The reason I am doing a lot of exercise right now, (yoga, tai chi, a lot of walking, etc.) is, as we got older I and my wife both put on a lot of weight and this is not good.
My wife joined weight watchers and is doing tai chi with me. I want to get the weight off a little faster, so I am going at it a little harder.
We start Tai Chi friday. It won't be any trouble for me because I have been doing it every morning for the past 5 yrs. however my wife has not, and I think she might be a little sore at first. She says that she don't like tai chi but I'm hoping she gets to like it, I love it.
Well I guess that's all for now.
Brightest Blessings,

| I lived....... |
Hi everyone,
Well I made it through my first class of Yoga, all in one piece. I'm a little sore today but I expected that. 
It was a very nice class, I wasn't the only one who was straining to hold the poses. The only problem was that the class was so large that it was hard to find a place to put my mat. There were some who left early though, so maybe there won't be quite as many next time.
My wife won't take the classes with me, too bad because it's a lot of fun.
Well I guess that's all for now. I wish everyone a great day.

Hi all,
I can't write too much this morning. I am going to my first yoga class today. I am 60, as limber as an iron slab and hoping that I don't break something. It should be fun though. I'll let everyone know if I end up in traction. 
I hope everyone has a great day:-)

| Trouble |
Hi all,
My wife informed me that I failed to put up a picture of our old cat who died,(Her name was trouble), we had her for over a decade, and she was a true friend. We miss her a lot.....
No... we didn't name here trouble, a bunch of kids who had her as a kitten named her that. She did live up to her name as a kitten though.

| Saturday...... |
Hi all,
Well here it is saturday and my son still has a load of laundry in the living room..... ( I love him but he really knows how to push my buttons. ) Oh well, it's only 5:00am here and he already knocked me off dsl twice while he was messing around, tried to run the garbage disposal without running water in it and only threw a couple of small fits. ( Did I mention he's 23 yrs. old???) 
Other than that I guess my day has started off without too many hitches:) I'll try to get back here and try to write about something other than my son if he gives me a chance:)
Blessings to all,

| Another day..... |
Well another day has passed, and as you might guess there was nothing earth shattering that has happened.
Oh, wait a minute, after the house was cleaned, my son dropped a ton of clothes in the middle of the living room and decided to wash them late at night.
Now when my son decides to do something right away..... It usually takes about three to four days for him to get arround to doing it. (He is 23 yrs. old).
needless to say I wasnt happy about it.
If I have to stand over him until he washes every piece of clothes I will.
There is no reason in the world why his mother should have to wash them for him.
Oh, well I got that off my chest, so I will stop ranting now untill next time

I have never done this before so.... Here goes!
I am a 60 year old male who is into mysticism, shamanism, and the occult in general. I have made many friends in this life as well as a few enemies. I have decided to post blogs for my own pleasure as well as others who are interested.
This has been a good day so far. I'll let you know how the rest of the days and weeks go. I guess I'll stop rambling on for now, have a great day.
