I’ll be 69 this month,ouch!  Soon, I shall be in Sheol, awaiting my resurrection.

Living with my family now, in Mililani, and fully retired.  I had congestive heart failure as my reward for being retired.  Jolly me!

My retirement goals are simple.  Live.  Or not.

A long time since writing on this blog.  No one reads it, of course.  I've found it a futile vent to place my thoughts.

In two years, I've had little need to vent, or write my self-important thoughts. Work.  That has been my stage of performance.  Oh, for a different venue. I need help with my imagination.

Summer is about to end.  In just a few days, it will be September and summer will be gone.  It makes me feel sad, really.  It was a good summer.  I had my cousins grandkids stay with me for a month for summer school and it was nice having youngsters around.  Travis, the eldest of the two, is nearly out of high school.  The younger one, Josh, is 14 years old.  Both are such characters.

They're gone now.  Back on the Big Island.

Labor Day knocks at the door, then comes the pagan holidays, beginning with Samhain.

Thanksgiving comes soon.  Shall I take the next day, after the holiday, off?  I'd just as soon go in to work. Especially with the condo being so empty.

Saturnalia then comes.  Oh my.  Yes, my thinking has changed lately, focusing on my faith, for what it is.  None of the holidays seem all that important anymore.  There is no sparkle.  None of the stories, often repeated, will convince me they are of any worth.

Happy Birthday to me

I'm 62.  Oy vey.

A lot has happened since my last entry on this blog.  Discovering the extra weight was horrible enough.  Having to buy new clothes just so I didn't walk around looking like a stuffed sausage casing was the greatest challenge.

I ended up buying clothes through the internet.  Most of the purchases are fine, though some of them have absolutely disappointed, especially the shoes.  I now have fattened, widened feet.  Underwear is also a nightmare when you have a fat arse.

WHAT!?

I go into a blur and find myself stepping onto a scale and what do I find?  I'm weighing in at 353 lbs.

Good Lord!  What happened???  I don't eat all that much!  I watch what I eat and still, I gain weight!  Not good.  The city could use me to flatten fresh asphalt during road repairs!

Should I go on a diet?  Hahahaha.  I'm not mente insana!

At my age, gaining this much weight is like adding more stones on the back of a slave building a pyramid.  It's certainly not good for my all around good health.  What to do.  Diets don't really work.  Pills are a waste of good money.  I don't look forward to trying Atkins again.  There's got to be something else that I can do.

Sold The Condo

It's done. 

After a lot of ups and downs, I finally sold our (my) condo.  I moved into Tom's studio (closet) back in October 22nd 2011.  It was a hurried move.  I would have preferred staying at the Skytower longer, but Tom wanted the move to take place sooner.  That's fine, I thought.  The memories of losinig Dwane were so intense.  It was an extreme conflict of emotions.

Anyway, it's done.  Since then, the days have blurred.  I would blink and then realize that time had passed, usually in large chunks.

Hello 2012.

"It is an old strategy of tyrants to delude their victims into fighting their battles for them." - FDR

Civil Unions failed again. Promises of upholding our state's constitution have been compromised again and all because of a bunch of noisey, religious people who find our lives to be wrong. I know most of those people and they aren't all that holy. I hear them in the streets every day. Nasty.

Sad times for those who genuinely wish to have a recognized relationship in Hawaii. I wonder if the Christians would appreciate the Shinto, Buddhist, or Muslim shoving their religious dogma (a.k.a. crap) down their throats using government backing?

So, the political race for president is over. The Republicans are back at their old tricks of trying to make the Democrats look bad, the Dems are trying to look good, but are failing (not a new trick for any party in America).

Prez Obama has a lot on his plate, just like Bush Jr. did when he came to office. Bush Jr. had it made. The country wasn't doing too bad, though it was a downward spiral. He just made it worse after some poor decisions and with a mountain of bad advice. Obama may just end up in that same circumstance. Poor guy. I hope he doesn't.

Let us see what this play will bring. Up to now, the economy sux, not Obama's fault. The man just got in. Religionists are still pounding their temporal muscles and are failing for they are supposed to be harvesting souls for the Kingdom, and they are aleinating them instead. I'll be interested in the Messiah's words on this particular hot spot of His.

Η δική μας δύναμη

Έχω μια μεγάλη ανησυχία για τη χώρα μου. Έχουμε έναν άνθρωπο με την ευφυία και την τιμή και πολλοί ζητούν την εξαφάνιση. Πώς μπορεί να σταθεί αυτό το έθνος, όταν αρνείται να ενώσει υπό την ηγεσία ενός ανθρώπου;

Προσέξτε, o Αμερικής. Ο χαμός είναι εξασφαλισμένη αν δεν ενώσουμε τώρα όταν χρειάζεται περισσότερο.

E O Mai

Harken to me

Rick Astley - Cry For Help

Never followed him much during the 80's, but lately, I've found his music quite refreshing.
