Go

.... So that took a little longer than I expected but here it is revised and ready for whatever it is that I occupy this corner (and not even that much) of the internet.

    I know that I promised this a while ago, and to be honest I was just about to edit this when my more recent blog took precedence. (If you read it, then you will catch the hilarity.... and yeah, I am defending my most recent excuse with an excuse..... making sense yet).  Alright enough chitter chatter, oh wait that is all there is... most of the time. That and periods, why?

    Let me explain to you why I use so many periods, short version, I like to pause.  It is the only time conscious way I can communicate to you the way that I want you to read this.  I have always imagined this blog to be a typed version of my vocalized brain, without having to muddle through it with words that are out loud.  To be frank you guys don't mind that the actual pauses that take place where the previously mentioned periods are far more vast then what you might take when reading.

    So take what you can get... not that you have a choice, this blog is obviously for my benefit and not yours. So even if you wanted to give suggestions on how I should conduct it, I would probably not listen... that is right, completely selfish.  (and now for a shameless advertisement for my other blog) If you want to read a blog that is not selfish check out my other project....

PS. you can spend your time on the internet however you

wish... as I once misheard "give or go nuts"

PPS. Squirrels in need will thank you 

Preface for the Preface

No, you are not reading a book, I know right... Heaven forbid... actually I wish I read more books, but maybe not textbooks.  This is anything but a textbook... or have I tricked you yet further.

This is one of my infamously famous great ideas that never come to anything, so I am going to learn from history and not make any claims or promises.  However I will tell you what this is about, hence the title.  I want to have several themed posts (I don't know how many or how long) and I know it might seem like this is not my style... and I think you are right, and s(just a heads up I literally just edited the title from Preface to Preface for the Preface)o I might/will start a new blog.  I will try to update both of them, but for the time being that second one might get a little more attention.

Why? Well let me tell you.  I have had a desire to talk about something that is near and dear to my heart and that is "The Art of Being Pleasant" (please excuse the lame cliche "The Art..." phrase for now, until you are telling your friends about me, then you can criticize to them about my lack of originality).  I have been struggling with the concept for a while, and I think it is an area that needs explaining to this isociety.  I am the furthest thing from an expert on the matter so everyone can feel free to input, I more or less want to get your brains turning.

PS. at the same time I find that having a blog that is not all about

ranting and complaining about life is a small detail and part of being

pleasant. So that is to say, I hope to continue typing pointless chatter

for sometime yet, don't worry you haven't lost me... Yet.

PPS. here it is I just finished the first post

Coffee Tour

The only relevance that this title has is it is the most recent thing that I have taken part in.

On to other news, I don't know if you know, but I now live in Winkler... and I know that doesn't mean a lot to any of you but it means that I now work a new job which is more or less the same as my old job, and Herman is no more... I therefore replaced his elderly grandness with Flo... she's pretty nice... sure she doesn't have the wisdom of my previous ride, but hey she has a little more energy which isn't all bad.

Okay so that's the life update and now time for some classic gibberish, and that just might look and sound more like this... (what you hear is nothing because you are probably not reading this out loud... and that should account for the fact that there is not all that much gibberish to be spoken tonight)

I know some of you might be disappointing by the sounds of that, because there is finally a new post and there really isn't anything there... and not only that there isn't the usual ramblings.  Yet more I keep typing less this paragraph is adding up, besides physically because it is currently adding up to more and more as we go.

Ha I am tired, and you should see the look on your face... and to really "mess with your stones" I am not leaving a ps (Post Script)

PPS. I will however leave a Post Post Script... I know right leaving

a post script to a non existent Post Script is unheard of... mainly

because it is utterly ridiculous because it is merely an incorrectly

titled Post Script

PPS.  So now it makes sense to have a double post script so I hope

you catch my meaning... now I just asked myself will I post this?

If your wondering I'll answer that question next week

Did I actually wait a week to Post this?

Nope

I answered that one just now if you missed it... well actually both questions

Complete?

Not really... this is the first time in a long time Summer didn't have a definite end... instead it just lingers on and slowly merges into fall.  Nothing is really finding any satisfaction as I continue "normal" life.

Onto something totally unrelated to that thought... for a guy that says, knows, and can testify that by getting his thoughts out into a tangible form helps him... he sure doesn't make time for it in the business of life.

Well here I am... which if you didn't know is know not where I was before... now I am in Winkler MB living with 3 other guys.  Does that mean life is different... no... rather it is strangely the same, and that is the part that is catching me off guard.  The fact that life isn't shifting this fall is so unfamiliar to me th... (I really don't know how to finish the thought without confusing myself).

In essence the lack of change this fall is one of the biggest changes I have gone through in my short life.. which is slowly becoming a longer life... imagine that

PS.  maybe it is slacking of the local readers, due 

to the fact that I haven't posted anything of late, 

regardless, my hat is off to those readers who 

don't know me... thanks for the support  

(but to be honest I don't wear hats)

PPS.  Life update one week ago I became involved in a

 race with another guy to 1 000 000 push ups... 

I know... crazy soup... if you want to know how long 

that will take I'm sure you can do the math... 

or get a calculator to do that for you 

It's about that Time

Time for what you ask, and that's the point, nobody has time for anything, OKA, ain't nobody got time for that... see what I mean, everybody is busy doing whatever the heck they want, too busy to do anything else. (don't feel outta the loop, OKA Otherwise Known As, I am hoping this abbreviation catches on a little better then SQS... though I personal still use that).

Basically it was time that I take a little of my time and spend it typing out another post, but this is not wasted time, this is time thoroughly enjoyed, and essential to my sanity.

So what is on the agenda for today (this is how I think now that I am working again) well let me see... not a whole lot of sense and a 80 percent chance of 10 lines of nonsense.  This is a reference to a little thing that has caught my attention and is a little annoying. This is when a whether prediction claims a percentage chance of 0 millimeters of rain. Does that mean that the left over is the chance of all the millimeters of rain.

Whatever the case, I am glad to type this out for you guys, why? I can't rightly say, or type for that matter.  In other news, sports.............. (I hope you took your time over those excessive periods)  if not, well this post might have been a bit of a short read, and not all that worth it.... well at least not for you (don't worry I spent a little time contemplating posting this... and still am, but I think it just makes the grade for post worthy... ya)

PS. Put it up Jeevs

that's code for post it

PPS.  My computer's name is not Jeevs, he's just my

imaginary buttler and personal assistant that does not 

actually do anything for me, but that doesn't stop my

string of commands for him that I have... daily

I know right...

... Three post in what is it, two weeks (and now your thinking, 'this guy is just trying to build off the momentum') and I'll tell you, life has to be crazy, or it gets boring.

Sorry I just left to wash some dishes... and when you just write exactly whatever you want it is hard to keep track of the thought that I had when I finished the last sentence...  Regardless the show must go on.......

You don't know how tempted I was to end the post there... but you guys are worth more than that to me (if you couldn't tell, that is me selling out to the momentum).  There was once a day I would blog how I wanted to blog, and I didn't care how much momentum I had or rather didn't have... but now that a little is building I guess I don't want to waste it....... . . . . at least not yet.

Not to say that I'll sell out.... at least not for money.... well I guess everybody has their price, I won't deny that.

Well back to dishes... but not really, I all of a sudden was hit with a wave of intelligence so I will type for a bit more (I know who would even give me an offer to sell out with).  Yet I sold out to the momentum, and now you are left with this rubbish of force posting (not a licensed force power).  Yet if you calculate worth of post by how many times I had to explain using brackets (like I do.... if you couldn't tell) this post has been a raging success.

ps. If you know anyone else who just types whatever

they want like what you read here, you should let me know

pps. Brackets are my most accurate measure of greatness 

(yes, even for people... take Einstein)

pps.  If you just double blinked and said what... 

I get a point for sure... that is if your reading this... 

you know who you are 

ha, I needed that... (prior) and I did (post)

That title was written before typing this post, so it is a little presumptuous saying that this will be good.  Good in what way you may ask, and to be honest I don't have the foggiest clue.  Except for the fact that this will be a good bit of therapy for a blogger's mind... namely mine.  (I had to come back and add a little humor to this post so this seemed like a good place)  Despite my best plans to make this funny, my typical random thoughts betray me to reality.

If that did not make sense, I am preparing you to buckle up, this won't be funny, it also doesn't make sense (I can say that because this short blurb was written after the fact)  Basically you could refer to this, what you are reading currently, as the prequel, or preface.

That out of the way let us begin with the basics... I am baffled by almost every aspect of life... not to say that I am going insane, rather all the little details are doing (pirouettes) circles in my head.

The main one is competition... and it all of a sudden doesn't sound like a small detail.  Rather it is riddled with it's own small details.  What makes us want to win, and what makes it okay to lose?  At what point does a casual game become an important game... and should it ever be that way... does competition help increase the amount of enjoyment?  Why is competition enjoyable?

This sounds like an odd thing to think of, but it is just one example of how all the small pieces of larger pies have infiltrated my brain this weekend, and more or less this is just a way to say something.  Which is what I needed to do... write something down.  (To be totally honest, I could have written anything down and been satisfied... well at least that is how it feels).  Basically I have to wonder, why do I have the desire to win and why do I feel like life is a competition, because my worth is not based on the abilities of others.

ps. pirouettes of thought can sure make a guy dizzy,

you might just agree if this post had the same effect on

you.  If so, you understand how my thought process

has gone so far this week.

pps.  I don't know if I can promise better but I hope something more

natural will come together next week, but if not so be it.

take it down a notch

It's been a while... No.... It's been far too long.  I haven't written to you guys in ages... and I apologize for that.  It has been a stretch of craziness until recently, and it is finally hitting a groove again. To give you a bit of an update of what has happened that has kept me so busy.  Let me tell you....

Lets start with the fact that I finished all my schooling as far as I can see.  Three years of Bible College has flown by and I thank God for that marvelous opportunity that he allowed me.  Well in all honesty that is mainly it... but along with that came a lot of work and running around finishing everything off.  Then summer started, and by summer I mean the rest of my life.  So I have been figuring out what I really want to do and how that fits into remaining faithful to the Lord.  As of now I am working a temporary job in construction trying to make a little money to pay off debts and set up for the next step.

I just thought I would write to let you know what I have been occupying myself with.  I know it has not been that funny, but hey that will come in time.  (to be honest I don't know if any of my posts are actually funny, but I have a blast writing them)

ps. Classic 

Unexpected Challenge

Ever heard of going in blind... No... well now you have, your welcome

I use that expression because that is exactly what I am doing currently (and your like, I wonder what life experience he is going through that he has no idea what he is about to do, and I am like nope, just talking about this post currently).  Now to reference the content in the brackets, your right this could get a little crazy, that or it could get no where at all... most likely the second option, but whatever.

So far I have erased two different questions to start this content with and now realize opened ended questions are ridiculous because regardless of your answer I'll continue, and it probably could be said, no body would even give an answer.  Now I made this either really frustrating or open ended... as I now have just come up with my first blog challenge ever.  I challenge you, as readers to comment with the best answer to the question that I did not ask, and in the next post I will probably not even mention a winner but I might make some comment someplace on the result.  Mind you, I am sure you can view the comments and questions that go down.  (I never knew I could actually be less purposeless than I used to be, but here is... the epitome of useless)  That all being bracketedly said (new word = bracketedly - an adverb describing the action of speaking outside the direction of what is actually being said, yet describing what has or will be said).  If people actually responded with answers to this challenge to answer a non existent question I would be very impressed and this could be overly interesting.  Mind you despite my bursts of fame, many to most of the comments have ever only been from my family, so I have to be honest, I am not expecting a whole host of responses, but who knows it could be good.

ps. I am astonished at how weird that was

I am not sure if I hit a new low, or if this is

a good thing, I am sure I'll find out soon

pps. If you did not believe that statement of going

in blind I am sure you do now 

Evening Officer

A creative license is not something to take lightly, as a matter of fact that is why this line will be the only one on the topic visible to the reader (feel free to ask me questions, mind you most of you know me and can do that)  

So frustrated I bet you are, as you should be, yet it had to be done because it was just a vicious rant that would end up just being the exact thing I was ranting about...  and that's a long story.

I remember the Gold Days (Good + Old = Gold) when I was able to type care free about whatever and it always came out in a way that made me laugh.  However now that I started to actually record my thoughts the humor and useless nature of this blog has decreased.  (and your like what... except for that one guy that misses the old way... and he's like oh yes... good thing I did not give up hope)  

That's right, I guess you could say, I am back, and more confusing than ever... maybe.  The possibility exists that I just might write down a few key thoughts every once and a while again, but that was not helping my positive outlook (or lack there of) (definitely lacking outlook).  

Quick update of life, the third and finale snow fort is coming along well, things are literally shaping up and success is the right word.  Potential is even too mild to be used in this case.  

PS. It is good to be back

PPS. I am not sure if I ever left

PPPS. Even if I did not go anywhere I am definitely back

(just look at how many posts I used before this last script)

Right this is a Title

Well I thought I would post a little of my recent Art Work

This is a picture I did up for somebody's album art but it did not make the cut.

This particular image is one I just finished for a friend of mine.
