April Blog Challenge Day 7 (10 Songs You Love)

List 10 songs that you're loving right now.

1. My Name Is Ruin by Gary Numan - I am hocked on this song and play it at least 6 times a day. It's a lot different than his songs of the past, and I'm loving his newer work.

2. White Rabbit by Collide - This is a super funky sounding version of an old song I used to love as a kid. Shades of drug use, and the story of Alice in Wonderland come to life.

3. Close To Nature by Rational Youth - I been listening to this song often since the late 1980's. They are my favorite band. They recently retired, so my dream of seeing them live will never be.

4. Sex Metal Barbie by In This Moment - An electro inspired sound with a much heavier punch to it. The song is very dark and corrupt, and I really enjoy this one at times; Today very much.

5. Renegade by Styx - What can I say, it's good old classic rock at it's best. Great music and a song that paints a story in my mind. Been listening to this song for a very long time.

6. Fuck That by Skrillex - Not the newest from him, but I just love how this song sounds. The music is awesome and gets me in a good mood. The lyrics are more part of the music than saying something, and this is typical of a lot of this kind of music.

7. Venus In Furs by The Velvet Underground - This is the story of sexual domination and submission. It's literally the same title as the book of the same name and the two main characters of the book. I have to say, I found the book dull A.F. but I always loved this song. I had a kinky side to me since my teen years, and it speaks to me.

8. Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne - This tells of Alister Crowley and his dabbling into the occult. His story in reality is a hell of a lot worse than Ozzy sings about. The man I think was out of his mind and hearing voices and so on. I love the way this song starts up with the digital organ music.

9. The Final Countdown by Europe - It's not much in the lyrics department to say the least, but it's full of life and spirited energy if you ask me. I simply love this song and remember it being played often in a bar I used to hang out at in the 1990's.

10. Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Runs N' Roses - This song speaks to me on a deep level and I can feel it like I'm in church, if you know what I mean. The music and the words combine to be something more than it's parts to me. I experience this song, not just listen to it.

April Blog Challenge Day 5 (Places You Want to Visit)

Image
List five places you want to visit. 1 Yellowknife , Northwest Territories. It's on the bank of great slave lake. I've fished in that giant lake once, but never been to Yellowknife. You had to fly in at the time. It's very far north. The Dene First Nations are a big part of the city and the industry and tourism in the aria. The stunning beauty of this part of the world is something I only got 3 days to experience in a fishing camp. My entire life I've wanted to travel there and see the city. 2 Cardiff , Wales. It's their capital city and a lot of historic buildings can be seen. It's also where the mythical Torchwood was located and I'd like to visit the location they used as well. There are stunning countryside to see outside the city as well. It is home to some world class dining and amazing pubs to visit. The rich history alone is a draw for me. 3 London , England. The capital city of the UK, home to Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, and many other hi...

Two Memories Triggered By Old Photos

Image
Aug 5, 2008 me at 500 lbs. yesterday I was about 349 lbs. (Apr 02, 2025). It's literally amazing that my belly is not hanging down to my knees - it's not even covering my man bits fully. Most people who lose this kind of weight have a bin sagging loaf down to their knees. This photo was just before we found my friend dead in his apartment. I was on the 1st floor and he was on the 3rd. We did not see him for 5 days and went looking because there was a hell of a smell as soon as you opened the fire door. He had been dead for days. They said it was his heart. He was 42 at the time and I was 40. I had know him most of my life and we where close. When I found this photo, I remembered him. I also miss that hat kind of a lot. It was stolen. Jul 3, 2008 this is the Moose Jaw Co-op cafeteria. It's long gone now - instead they rend the space out to a gym. The hardware that was down there as well moved to the Agro center and it was expanded. I took Mom here for coffee every Wednesday ...

April Blog Challenge Day 4

Write about someone who inspires you. Not going to name any names, but people who know me might think it's several people, as I tend to know a lot of people who inspire me. This is going to be a bit of a cheat - it's going to be the conglomeration of several people instead of just picking one of them to write about. Not to the letter of the prompt, to to the spirit of it. We will call the person, "Tim." Time worked very hard for a long time in order to help others in need. He never left a loved one or friend go without the help they needed unless he literally could not help for some reason. Time also shared his home with relatives would could not afford to live on their own, even to the point the place became crowded. Time gave his time to food pantries and his church to help with things he was able to do for the community. Unfortunately, Tim could not help everyone that asked for his help, because things have gotten far out of hand in our economy and too many people ...
