SWR explains, expresses, extrapolates, and explodes.

    Random Pink Floyd:

    There is no pain you are receding, A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

do you remember

Friday, June 17th, 2005

Your life can be over at any moment.

there is no

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005

My signature on WebHostingTalk has long displayed the line, “There is no ‘best’ host. There is only the host that’s best for you.”
Although, I believe it to be so true, I get bored with it and occasionally change the word, host, to something else.
Some favorites of the past include:
“There is no ‘best’ shoe. There is […]

lay witness

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

For me, the strongest piece of the book, Twenty Minutes a Day to a More Powerful Intelligence by Arbie M. Dale, was the self-evaluation section of “the witness.”
Although I used the technique more when I first learned it, I try to remember to use it on occasion still.
It involves simply watching yourself.
Imagine yourself being […]

You unspeakable bastard

Tuesday, March 8th, 2005

I am the most emotional person I know. But, you don’t need to be emotional to get emotional about September 11th 2001.
I had reprinted Leonard Pitts, Jr’s sorrowful words from 9-13-01 on my FreedomRings site and feel the need to post them here as well. Not just because I still don’t feel well. But, I […]

oh Happy oh Valentine

Tuesday, February 15th, 2005

Valentine’s Day Massacre.
Valentine’s Day 1991; I remember it well.
February 14th 1991; another wedding.
Well, isn’t this romantic? To marry on Valentine’s Day.
That lasted about three years.
I’m a Wildebeast, it seems. They only mate for three years; ya know. Which seems to be how long I was married each time.
But, this last one was the last one.
She […]

the Truth

Wednesday, January 26th, 2005

Okay. Been a couple days since blogging. Truth of the matter is, I haven’t been well lately.
I’ve always found it easier to not talk about my health. It’s been a struggle for 53 years. And I don’t envision it becoming easier any time soon.
I have a degnerative bone disease. It has been the catalyst of […]

as The Kid

Tuesday, January 18th, 2005

I was the kid ya hated in school.
The one that sat in the front of the class. Knows all the answers.
When the teacher asks a question; raises his hand to answer.
The one that always had his homework done. And always first finishing tests.
I was the kid in drama, debate, chorus, track, band, student council, and […]

Is it later yet?

Sunday, January 9th, 2005

I shillyshally.
That’s a silly word.
I am a practicing procrastinator.
I justify that by enjoying working under pressure. I can work pretty fast. And I enjoy working fast, multi-tasking, and rising up from unfortunate circumstance. So, I find that procrastinating plays into that well.
But then, there’s the evil side of procrastination.
You wait and wait and […]

on Procrastination!

More on that, later.

I don’t

like it.
I don’t like it.
I don’t like it.
So far.
Maybe it will grow on me.

Life is like a can of whoopass

Wednesday, January 5th, 2005

Ya never know what you’re gonna get.
A little pat on the rump?
Welts from a willow branch?
Whatever ya get; it could be worse.
Things could always be worse.
Be happy.
It ain’t that hard to be happy.
