Duh!
Yes, that is me reaching out of the cage to 'pet' a shark. And I did it more than once.
How could you doubt it? ROWDY!
11th Dimension
I now know another dimension of heartache. I think I'm going to learn them all in this life. And in that, I am not unique. Which gives me comfort, strangely. Everyone has sorrow. Sadness. Loss. Emptiness.
This song. plays constantly in my head right now.....
These lyrics jump out at me initially "your faith has got to be greater than your fear" and "forgive them, even if they are not sorry" For a euro pop song, very poignant.
I feel similar to these times;
-the first time someone I cared for told me the hated me
-the first time I got divorced
-the one time I've been fired from a job
-when a girlfriend told me "you have no idea how many times I cheated on you"
-when I had to have surgery with no health insurance my last year of college with the strong possibility of not graduating
-facing one of my friends after being the reason he was arrested
-being in the hospital and having J,K,M move far away from me
-when I left for Iraq
-when I woke up with my guts outside of my body and a bag hanging off me to collect it
-getting the first contact from my biological father

Happy Birthday to me!
My motorcycle got ordered today and should arrive right near my birthday! Soo stoked. A modern version of the classic, a 2012 Triumph Bonneville SE in this navy and white scheme.
A super fun bike for "just riding around." I've had dirt bikes, scooters, supermotos, sportbikes by the dozen but this is my first standard or retro bike.
I think it is going to be tons of fun to just take it easy and enjoy the ride. Fun in a pure sense. And with less danger in adding to my horrible speeding ticket history.
Enjoy it with me.

Not totally Mother's Day....
I must be her favorite child, along with of course being the FIRST, because my mom is going to be at my house for Mother's Day. So that means I am the best kid!
But you know who doesn't get their own day? Nieces and nephews. I love my nieces and nephews. All of them. When ever I visit they all yell my name and are happy to see me. When I am sick they send me get well letters and such. Sometimes they have even sent me their own toys, to cheer me up when I've been in the hospital. Great kids!
Remember my nephew who is afraid of the 'bad chicken'? Well at one time I sent him a huge, plush, stuffed shark. A great white shark. Carcharodon Carcharias is its latin name. Which is funny, as my nephew calls this shark "CeeCee" because he lives under the sea. Or maybe he is a child shark genius and knows that latin name.
Here is my nephew and CC, at home and play.
I miss all my little friends! (and some are not so little now...) Thank for making it fun to be an uncle. 'Cause both my uncles were super fun, so I have a legacy to maintain!

Zero
I have zero musical talent. This might as well be what I am hearing and seeing the two different times I tried to learn the guitar.
The above clib is from a show that was on BBC3 a while ago. If you watched the later seasons of the IT Crowd, you'll get it. It is called Snuff Box. IT Crowd=cute, funny, nerdy humor. Good fun. Snuff Box= ribald, crude, dark humor. Not family suitable. Be forewarned. And if either of those suit you then I really suggest heading off to The Mighty Boosh.
Depending on your choice in "entertainment", you can't go wrong checking them out on Netflix. The Snuff Box theme song is an ear worm if you ask me. I watched the only 6 episodes and I still can bring it to mind.
Thank me later. I'm expanding your mind after all.

Bring it on.
If you play any of the official Scrabble games online, I have a real profile now through the EA/Origin portal. I'm playing on a nook tablet, but it works across platforms.
My name is 'rowdstar' or you can search the email 'rowdystyle@gmail.com' and find me.
I'm tired of beating everyone else online and need a new challenge. So bring it on!

Losses and Gains
Jeweled Malicious Barbie is now Jeweled Malicious Witch and will probably end up in China.
Killer is leaving for Korea in one week exactly. He'll probably stay over there for a while as well.
M Knight is plunging head first into enlisting in the Marines.
Everyone is growing, going and doing their own thing. It's hard to stay connected. To develop. It is too late for me to regret anything I've done. Have to live with it now.
I wish them all the best.

My neighbors have got to be kidding!
Their life style: Two gay dudes in their 50's, living together. Not 99% of people out there.
Their house: Having a $700,000 house with that landscaping, solarium, statuary and outdoor gas fire place is not the home of the 99%.
Their cars: Two brand new shiny sedans. Honda and Cadillac. Any one at Occupy roll up in a new car?
Their jobs: Both of them have degrees and both are Nurse Anesthetists. The US Department of Labor says that job makes about $180,000 per year in California. So being DINKs (double income, no kids) that gives them a gross household income of $360,000. Guess what, anything above $320,000 makes you one of the freaking 1%.
Their garbage can: Has big stickers on it i saying "We Are The 99%", as well as in the back window of each brand new car.
How delusional do you have to be to think you are part of the 99% when you meet all of the criteria of being a 1%-er?? You can still be part of the 1% and be loving, kind, decent, charitable and an overall boon to humanity. The noble poor is as silly and outdated an idea as the noble savage.
Accept what you are and use your position for the benefit and good of the world, your family and others. Like I heard on Gilligan's Island with Harold Heckubah, "There's just one little thing you out to do, to thine own self be true!"
