More time
More time has slipped through my fingers yet again and here it is almost the end of the year. Today is the Eve to Christmas Eve. Not even so sure it really feels like it. Though my phone's ring tone is festive I will be changing it here in a matter of days. Yes time just keeps slipping me by. And I am not quite sure just how I feel about it.

The pen
"Literally, it's the power to control the pen, and the power to control what the pen perpetuates," Sanders said. "People's interest in this debate about cursive handwriting, typing, texting and other incarnations of the language -- this is proof that these things still have the power to move us. It's the surest evidence you need for the importance of handwriting to the culture."

The Navajo
The Navajo
Beauty is before me and beauty is behind me
Above and below me hovers beautiful
I am surrounded by it. I am immersed in it.
In my youth I am aware of it, and in my old age
I shall walk quietly the beautiful trail
(I’m not the author of this poem, but it touched me, it is from the Navajo and so I share this with you)

Fail
Admitting that I have gained weight after having surgery only two years ago, shows how big of a loser I really am. – And not in a good kind of way.

Why do I feel that I have this internal drive to write something down, but then have no clue just what that something is suppose to be that I am to write down. Yes this leaves me quite perplexed. Then it also leaves me feeling like this i just that one more thing that i desire greatly in my life and yet lack the discipline to create my own reality of such a desire.
Write, write all the time, when ever you can, maybe that is just going to have to be the approach that I take in order to make my dream this reality. To have written work put into place, something i have put together, of my thoughts to page. Be it some sort of story, or just my ramblings of an insomniac. funny I think, that it is at night when my mind really gets to thinking that I have left things to do. When it should be at night that the mind is to go idle, and rest. Just likeI wish to condition myself into writing more,i probably need to also work on conditioning myself into going to sleep at a time that is better for me health wise.
There are times that I try but then I just can't seem to quiet the chaos. hm i suppose that is one way of looking at things.
As i write this I am staring at a clock that is reminding me it is such a time that the mind requires silence, and so with that I say Good Night.

Perform this Way
I will not admit to how many times I have seen this, but I have had lots of laugh on the behalf of this video.
Perform this way = Parody of Born this way
If you want the lyrics, here is the video from Al Directly to you:
Parodies–LOVE them
Many Moons ago, there was the most annoying song ever – ok there are many But this one was made for a great parody.
Billy Ray Cyrus – “Achy Breaky Heart” Oh to live on in memories, tried forgotten for the artist.
Al Yankovic – “Don’t Play that Song” Expressed my thoughts exactly. “The most annoying song I know…. “ There isn’t an official video I could find of this song.
Well, flashing forward to today, Billy’s kid created a song. OH, I’ve heard it far to many times to be enjoyable. “Party in the U.S.A.” So to bring back the enjoyment, Al brought along his own flavor of entertainment and brought along this video.
Weird Al Party in the CIA
Its not the greatest parody, but it brought back memories of the parody created on the “father’s” song, to be repeated again with the “kid’s” song. 
Alright, write!
Alright, write!
Ok I'm sitting down making an effort to put another entry onto my blog. I should at least try to get one weekly published. I have to help others in their insomnia, my own personal public service.
So, the other day I was sitting some where sipping my drink of choice, one that doesn't cost 5 bucks. LOL Many folks come here to use their electronic devices. I don't know what they are doing, but would be interesting to lean over their shoulders to see what they are doing. Just because I am snoopy that way. During this electronic day and age, you have to learn how to type. Just can't get away with not learning the place on a keyboard. Even young kids learn how to use keyboards. Though many have to use their thumbs when they are using a keyboard, all that texting and what not. But when you are using a full size keyboard, (and probably not so much a touch screen, though I type on a full size touch screen relatively well) You need to learn how to use all your fingers. I think its rather funny that you are here writing something but you hunt and peck with just your index fingers. I suppose some folks can get rather fast in that method of typing.
I grew up on computers, and it was something i had to learn was to touch type. I didn't sit down with a typing book, I found that too tedious, but i wrote. I would write a lot of stuff, where did it all go I don't know. But that practice allowed me to learn how to touch type.
I like the fact that I can do that. When I am really in a zone and the words are flowing out freely, I find myself just zoning out. I will stair off in to space and just allow my fingers to put the words I'm thinking onto the page. I hope that my fingers never lose their position for then how one aery would I ever find my way back and correct the words I just wrote. I don't know. this is rambling. But I suppose right now the words are flowing. i guess it would be a good time to put the ideas onto the page instead of worrying about how someone types.
But that simple idea of thinking about how someone was typing got me to write. And just getting the time to sit down, shut down the overly active portion of my brain and allow written words to flow, just need an idea to expound upon. A muse if you will. And this writing session is brought to you by my fellow coffee drinker, and his typing on his laptop with just two index fingers, hunting and pecking. So don't blame me, I point the finger in that direction ---; (Good thing he was on the right, more dramatic effect that way)

Been thinking about writing. But that's s out all that has happened. Might think about it but I never sit down to do it. Got myself lots of gadgets that should help facilitate my writing, but do I do it? Guess you already know the answer to that question by looking at the dates in my blog here. Though I suppose that if I am ever going to get anywhere with the idea to write, I am going to have to sit down and do it. So for this very moment in time I am writing. The is no direction I am planning to take. Just putting the words to screen.
Because that's where I have to start again, by putting the words down. Not to be afraid of what I write, just practice the art of writing.
Putting away the distractions of house work, yes there are times that is hard to do. Guess it's mostly out of guilt thinking I should do chores more so than writing. Do I feel that guilt when I watch TV? I should for that is time I could do chores, or even gasp, write! This very moment I am outside, the wind is blowing, that is not unusual. The is shade in the spot that I occupy, but if I ,over over a foot then I would be in the sun. Glare would hinder me from writing in the sun so I sit in the shade and even here glare is a contention.
Typing on a touch screen with out any type of feedback is something else as well. When I really get into the zone I love to just let my fingers fly and stare off into what ever. Can't do that so much when you have to watch where the fingers are o a touch screen.
Wonder with more practice I will get better with it. I have been a touch typist since high school, if not even before that. I mean I did grow up with a computer since I was ten years old. This day in age that isn't so unusual but it was when I was a kid, ok, I will age myself here. That's almost thirty years behind a computer screen. Then to thin of it that way, would wonder why aren't there more words written. I have a hang up, or lack of discipline. But I think a lot of it is also fear. Crazy to think that, but then I know no one reads this blog, but then why would anyone, I don't ever post often enough to bring folks to this place.

Write!!!
Taken from an interview listed online and I lost that link, but wanted to share this
From Anne Rice
My advice to aspiring writers is write. Write and write and write. Save what you write. If you stop, start again. Ignore criticism. Cherish your own voice, your own story and your own characters. Do not listen to people who do not "get it." If you find your story interesting, other people will too. Critics are a dime a dozen. Writers are priceless. A writer's life is a great life. It's worth the effort. Don't be discourged. Keep going. Think of yourself as a writer, and move through the world as a writer, and ask of the world what a writer needs. ------ Remember, there are no rules. If what I say does not inspire, ignore me.

Success–Failure–or just Reality
I'm a year and a half post op - I stopped loosing at 13 mos. Which means i have not lost anything in the last 6 mos. (ok since September 23rd. I reached 235 the very next day 240.) For a long time I teetered between 240 and 243 right now its more like 244 to 246. So am I a success or a failure?
At 235 that had me down 132 pounds. That's pretty great in a year.
But dang it I should of lost more - should of had something to show for the last 6 months.
Suppose that is just the way it is. I wanted to reach 200 but that was expecting way too much.
Would of thought that after loosing so much weight that i would be feeling so great. Honestly, not so much.
I can move more, have more stamina. Oh such a blessing to go grocery shopping and not be so dang winded. I can tie my shoes in the front vs on the side. I can cross my legs (ok gentlemen style but still couldn't do that before)
But i am still tired all the time. ALL THE TIME.
Yup, I am a type1 diabetic, I have sleep apnea - still using my machine. Labs are all normal. (OK for the most part)
Found out a week or so ago that I have lupus, what does that mean to my general health? I haven't a clue to be honest. Still wrapping my brain around it, and waiting to see what a doctor will say - but that won't be for two more months or so.
I'm glad i had the surgery - I never had issues with dumping or vomiting or any other adversities. (early post op I had issues from the incision site because I got the privilege of having an open RNY vs lap) but all in all no real issues.
But I can't help but feel that I have failed at this weight loss attempt. Sort of like my mind is yeah ok your 100 pounds Plus lighter than you used to be. Life is better in so many ways. And yet there is still that voice in my brain that keeps sticking it to me, that I'll always be a weight loss failure.
