Dismantled

I have always heard it said that life gets in the way and if I am completely honest I truly was too young to understand that, until now.

If it's not one thing it's another, something will get in the way of doing the things you love. It's like that for most people that live in the real world. Most people can't just drop everything and pursue their passions and make a living that way. There are a handful of people who have gone down in history for doing the things they loved. Whether it be a leader, an artist or fighting for something they believe will make the world a better place.

Although history is not always kind to those it deems are on the "wrong side". The winners will always be the ones to write history and the losers will be deemed evil. It is the way it works and the way it will continue to work for the foreseeable future.

And in case you didn't know what a "train of thought" was, here is a perfect example. I started out saying life gets in the way and ended up talking about the writers of our history.

Whatever, rant over. Case in point, I'm back.

Boredom

The first use of the word boredom in print was in 1852 by the great Charles Dickens. He gave that feeling we get from time to time when all of our surroundings no longer stimulate us a name. I don't know if it's because of what we have available to us today but I could see how someone over a hundred and fifty years ago could quickly grow bored with what is in their immediate surroundings.
But now?

Extremists

To believe in something with all your heart and soul is usually not considered a negative thing. Not unless you take it to extremes.

Titanic 103rd Anniversary

On April 16th, 1912 the headlines would read "Titanic Sinks," because in the early morning of this day, 103 years ago the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic. I hope that my readers knew the Titanic was a real ship that launched in 1911 and sank a year later on its maiden voyage, because believe it or not there are many that did not.

Yeah, this is a thing apparently.

Well at the time of this writing there was nothing more to add than what we already knew from research and recreations of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Speaking of recreations, the people above know of the Titanic as a movie, a movie of which the general consensus is a great love story. Well I'm here to say otherwise.

News Bits number 3

Today is the Spring Equinox, marking it the first day of spring, and here in Delaware it is snowing... Now, I don't know about you, but when I think of Spring snowfall isn't the first thing to pop in my mind. Maybe melting snow, sure that's acceptable, but fresh big chunks of snow falling and making the roads slippery is a whole other story. Well, it is what it is here in Delaware.

Another day, another week, another News Bits.

2022 World Cup

Wednesday Update - Mars

If you hadn't yet heard, there is a private organization, Mars One, looking to send the first colonists to Mars in just ten years time. Think about that. In 2025 four people out of 200,000 that applied will be sent to colonize Mars for the human race. What makes it intriguing or horrifying, depending on your stance, is that it is a one way trip. They will live out the rest of their lives on this planet that is 140 million miles away. They will never see their loved ones again or have a chance to raise a family - yeah didn't you hear? There is no sex allowed between these pioneers of space.

Delaware, Oh Delaware

Maybe you've heard about the epic amounts of snow in New England, the northwest part of the country, maybe you haven't. Either way, now you know that these past few weeks there have been people literally digging out their cars from the snow.

Not an exaggeration

Downhill Hollywood

Reboots, Remakes and Sequels to decades old movies. That's pretty much all Hollywood is churning out these days, and what's worse - people are actually spending money on these franchises.

New Year Rant

I must be more diligent in posting on here, I must resume my workout schedule, carbs must again be the enemy and I have to get my s#!t together overall. There is a lot to accomplish in this ever fading year. With each day that passes there is less time to accomplish everything I would like to. Writing, music, my car, all of it must be balanced and with work and the time managed properly with priorities set. Adult life is not like my seven year old self believed, things rarely are.

2015

It is a new year. Many new and exciting, as well as somber, things will occur this year. No one really knows what the future holds for anyone of us but we can sure try and make this a year to remember. Just keep in mind that sitting and waiting for life to happen is a great way to make your life go by without a single memorable thing happening.

Are you spontaneous? Or do you like making plans and knowing where your future is headed? Which ever you are, just keep in mind that sometimes life happens as you make plans. And sometimes making rash decisions isn't the best choice. Just live each day to its fullest as best you can and make everyday count.

Last of the Year 2014

This will probably be the last post of this year. I did not post as much as I would've liked to this year, but here's to the new year!

How about taking a look at what this year brought us.

The World Cup

Rainy Day

Today is a cold day. I haven't seen the sun in a couple of days and, if the weatherman is to be believed, I won't until the next weekend. I also have the flu and all the pleasures that go along with it.

But it's not all bad.
