Sunday on The Labour Day / Labor Day Weekend.

We don't want to mix up the spelling and grammar........hold on I am cooking something in the skillet and will be right back.

Well, I have been grocery shopping and I thought that this one plate would be good for two days but I think it is only good for one. It has been cold her, I am not used to it, I not used to at this time of the year getting prepared for winter, but then on the other hand there are people "over there that are within a stage 3 right now with Katrina so I think that places things into perspective.  Tomorrow will be a day and as well I think the entire weekend has been on of people getting together with those that they are married to and so on.

I was married a few years back she hailed from New York, but I know that that does not matter now as what is of worth today is what is.  If that comes across clear. I find that this weekend I have thought much about my folks. As well, I have thought much with regards to a very good friend of mine. And I understand that in some way - I have not "missed the boat" but I think about this stuff and it's something that people do with their soul mate.

I read a few blogs and I really feel that my life is not totally complete. I don't thrive on doom and gloom. But the sensation of having a partner seems to me to be the avenue of creativeness. Even if it's a risk.

I rarely write personal things but I do believe that a soul mate is something that we are and will always with to have in life. This has been a time for me that I wish I had a mutual. I once did, she was from NY, but that was then and this is now.

This is a totally avante guard post. If you were single and coming close to your middle life, would you still take that chance?  I know that a partner can be a great thing. But on the same time I am not sure how many are married (I am not looking for love online) - but would it be something worth it and where do you find it these days. Regardless of how much money or no money at hand? I wish I could cook but not I am very basic with my capabilities in doing food!

 

 

My own thoughts and within my contacts I do value your thoughts on this holiday weekend. I have to get back to making this food!

The food is done but I am just an ordinary chap thinking of really what everyone's thoughts are in an authentic manner.

Sometimes it's It Good In Having a low Profile

It's the holidays here as well, I wished that I would be with my family. That is went and visited them yet it's not something you write. But it's a holiday in which I wish I could turn the clock backwards at times but that is not possible. For life is what is about now.

To everyone in every land that is celebrating this holiday time I wish you the best for you and your families.

Within an effort to take of taking America back

Barack Obama is set to formally accept the Democratic Party's presidential nomination this evenings in a speech that will be one of the most significant addresses of what has been an intensely scrutinized U.S. election campaign. I don't know why as this campaign mechanism has cost billions of dollars. Meanwhile, you would think that a clean campaign could take place. Since the Regan era, the Bush family has played a significant role in placing money to create negative campaigning. I feel sorry for John McCain as he is a good man.

As they say a direct conversation will take place tonight with 75,000 people but as well millions within United States and millions outside of the United States. Yes we all care.

Ironically 1960, John F. Kennedy gave his acceptance speech at the Los Angeles Coliseum. It featured a circular stage that Kennedy took enormous advantage of, a young, attractive candidate on a stroll among the voters. Kennedy also opened the event to the public. Anybody could come and 80,000 did.

These are different times but in a manner "these are the times". As we walk into what is the next way of life pending several things. I will say myself that I am all for Borak. He is not perfect but I hate to use his own slogan - it's time for a global change. I believe in that and I feel that he is not the anything but the person he claims to be. This is not a push with words and as well I created a small audio on freedom.

Your choice is your choice, but think before you make that choice.  As many around the world as well are watching as they certainly did not enjoy all that came with the prior administration. I was asked regarding China. Well, what happened within the last eight years that so much was lost on so many areas? Mistakes are made and now the cards lay within one nation that was the leader and super power of the world. Peace, integrity, intelligence, difference, change,

and along with his VP - Biden and his staff indicate to me that there is a good administration in place. If there was not - how would a man from Chicago that is a mixture of ethnicity, make it from being a young man within a party to coming this far and having so many people behind him. There is something that is moving along right!

If you reside within the great United States - THESE ARE THE TIMES. And you we will never see them like this again.  I know my father would have never believe that this day would have come.

Meanwhile the world watches...

So Many Things To Do...But

Sometimes you do your own thing.

I had a call this morning with regards to my father. And I am not sure what is entirely going on with his health right now but I am leaving it up on the bookshelf. I decided to let it entirely go. Some of you may know that I live in another city now and I do have some things set up so that if I do get a call I am on a plan - not a car right away if it's what is the enevitable.

When I left where I used to live, I didn’t really realize that I was really leaving and then I have been back there two times. This last time there were things that were afforded me, I am not sure I am the youngest in the family but the main point is that I did not allow this to effect me. I took a “self day” if you will. And I thought I would just do those things to get things off my mind as with all that has taken place and I am certain some of you know – I have come to learn you handle things. I don’t look to what tomorrow brings rather I accept them for what they are worth. I thought this small tad of a write was worth it.

Things are as they are but we do move on.

However the day was good and I said hello to my Chinese neighbor’s wife whom does not speak all that much English however she is a very kind person and my neighbor hood is full of predominantly Chinese in this one area.  Most often her husband David whom is a chemical engineer is the one that I talk to and he keeps asking when I will be getting grass on this lot. Where as Ping, she is always insists that I go join the older Chinese people and do Tai Chi as you can see in my video section,as she and David know about my family they had me over one day and we talked and for some reason they understood it. I wrote with regards to the some politics that I find so interesting – in a diplomatic manner, and there was one mention with regards to the things that go on in China. It’s a country I am not too familiar with. I know it on an economical manner but I only have had a few friends that were Chinese but they were second or third generation. It would be all to interesting to see what someone from China thought of the affairs of the world.

I seized the day in the best manner that I can and as well I was emailed a book from a person that I made several calls to have a book put on the bookshelves. Here in Canada and in New York City. And I have not spoken to this colleague of mine in some time but that is not what is important it’s what one does for themselves and as well for the people that they feel in life are important to them.

My friend Gary, whom lives with me, has been off for the last week with his girl friend going through southern portion of Alberta and British Colombia.  We had one day to catch up and then he is gone off to his home town to meet see his parents in a small town called Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

When I came into Canada Gary was one of the first two friends I met. That is prior to my father sending me off to a catholic boarding school in Ontario.  That’s really about it on the personal side. I would like the few new people that made a connect to know that hey I thank you. This is a collaborative area, I do it all with a balance – and I am writing while I am in the midst of my own journey.

I have said this before but I will be taking my own holiday at some point. Where will I go I don't know but I shall...

Change May be Taking Into Account All the Aspects

It’s the dawn of a new time. Right after eating supper I periodically am watching this democratic convention that is taking place. While at the same time we have seen the end of the Olympics take place and how then came and went out. We are living with so many things going on around us while at the same time we all have our own areas
of life.

Borak along with Biden seem to be something that does represent change. The two days ago while my computer went down I had read over a few things and then I had one of those areas of writings that I wish I was able to hold onto but the computer went down and I lost one of the writes that was on Global affairs.  I am neither Democrat nor

Republican. I look at what is taking place and it’s not only something that is going to be useful to United States – that is whom comes out as being president but it’s about how we all in a way are pondering what will be best and what will give rest to so many of the things that we have watched take place from all different parts of the world. It would be obvious that these are important times.  There is no doubt on that. Certainly we all want the best in our own lives but yet there is a time to consider those things that can affect the lifestyle within our own sphere. I could write on the relationship between Canada and the United States and how important it is that we merge together in a way. Not only Canada but to think on a level that is with a regard to one's own country and yet realize how important certain decisions may be on an internal and external level. My feeling on international affairs is that education is paramount. In the manner that this time around I don't think anyone really trusts things and before any decision is made with respect to the election of a leader - it might be worth it to understand all the aspects that go along with the entire party.

Regardless of how you look at things we all are effected not only by what takes place within our own countries but as well what takes place in a variety of countries and right now if there is one great time that history is in the making. I do believe it’s now. 

I was a young teenager and there was a time I won't forget. I just came to mind here tonight while seeing the beginning of this Democratic Campaign...The family went to church for the first time.  As I have mentioned earlier I was raised catholic.  So here we went to church for the first time and the father commonly known as a priest was an older man. The priest came up to us and welcomed us. You knew he was old and probably ready to retire. Just my thoughts in retrospect I suppose. But he asked my father where he was from. My father indicated that he was originally from the town that he first retired in which was a small town in Saskatchewan. Thereafter the priest asked my father what he did. I will never forget that time. My father indicated conservatively yet proudly what he had done as he had just retired from the Air Force and it was astonishing when the father came back with a retort indicating that was a lost cause.

I am sure you can imagine as a 15 year old I was just standing there wondering what would happen. And then my father extended his hand out to the priest and said to him “Father if it was not for the people like myself that protect by way of the military, quiet possibly you wouldn’t have the ability to be doing what you do.”  The priest had no response but it was obvious that he knew what my father meant.This was during the cold war. We live in a very different time now.

Most all of us have our rights. We live by way of understanding that we are able to live the way we do. And we have seen so much that we look at things in a different manner than we did just a few years ago. It’s a precious thing and I don’t think we all really come to understand it unless we have taken the time to look at what we enjoy, what we have, what we are able to obtain. I am not pushing any politics – I just sincerely find these are very important times in which we don’t want a repeat of history where a few generations back things were much different. I do believe that the slogan that Borak uses one that is really what we are looking at from several ends of the world. For those in United States whom ever you vote for is your own choice. Within that choice when this tiresome campaign is all over with. I think that not only will the people of United States be more pleased that it’s all over with and there is a new administration but a variety of people in several nations will be as well.

Change is a fine thing.  Sometimes change is taking into account all the aspects before making a judgment or decision.

~ There is one thing I would like to mention and I know she keeps a low profile but there is a good friend of mine that resides in Ohio and she knows whom she is and I wish her a very Happy Birthday. ~

Computers can be....

A handful. I thought I had everything reinstalled on this computer and then yesterday the entire NEW MACHINE went on the blink when I came to it around supper time last night. I thought I would leave it on. But I usually always do turn it off.

I would do it right now but it's the end of the day and I will get around to it.  All this new technology has come about and here if you want to be able to fix your own computer you have to learn all new things about it. So I have a few things that I have to install on it still.

But tomorrow is Monday and it's another week. It's hard to believe that there is only one week left in August. I don't know how things seem to go by so quickly. Enjoy the week ahead and after reading a few blogs earlier. I really find it amazing of what can be done on this. Some people as I can see have this "Premium Multiply". What does it cost and is it actually that much better to the ordinary version?

 

Sundays - That's the Way

Well I have a few things to do and I am sure that you do as well. We all wake up have a coffee and get on with our day. So it is and with that said I wish you all a great day!

Everyday we don't have to make things happen, all we have to do is just flow...as that is the way love goes as well as so many things within life. One does not have to write about it as most already know this deep within.

Knowing What Counts

It’s a joy to see the various writings as I have over the past time. I have come to understand what the meaning of life is. And that meaning is all within each and every one of us. We blog and we write in a manner that only gives a portion of whom we are, we are within the era of a stream that never is complacent. We thrive to do things. We enjoy to write, and we enjoy to give our own opinions on things. This to me is what it’s about.

I have seen several people and know many from times before this multiply. And the one thing that I will never turn away from is being me. As I once mentioned within a quote – “I can’t touch you…” as your not near. But within the areas of life, this is one element of life that now and then there is something that touches someone in a meaningful manner.  Each of us has our own agendas, our own lives and yet we embark on our own thoughts or posts. Perhaps we don’t share as much but from within my contacts I can certainly say that within the balance of going my path I do share. And I have been touched by a variety of people. Regardless of gender, regardless of religion, and regardless of where we come from.

 

Being here counts. Being kind and considerate counts. Getting through each day without seriously offending anyone or hurting anyone counts.  Having the latest technology does not count as much. Sorry, I am not a downer on technology. In fact, I probably have pretty much the same amount as you. For myself I don’t rely on it, I find it interesting to write. Nothing more or less.

With all this technology doing something that is useful with one’s life does count. Regardless of what that may be. As each of us have our own way and that is something to be respected. We might not all connect in the exact same manner but that is how we learn different thoughts, tastes, and aspects of life. For myself focusing on what is important is a code of life. Making the positive changes that ensure that there is something good that can take place within this realm of technology.  We are awake we are not asleep. I am certain that we are not lucidly living. A term that is very relative to what has meaning within the balance of these times.

There are some things that are important in life and a whole lot of things that are not as important. It doesn’t take too much discrimination to work out which is which. And there are a whole lot more things in that don’t count, that are not as important. Which comes down to choices that we make in life. I’m certainly not saying we can’t have trivia within our lives. For myself I don’t find the trivia as important. Watching the latest reality show on television isn’t my cup of tea.

Nurturing thoughts in an authentic manner seems for me what counts.

As there is a gain in what we read and what we see.

Determination, Resilience, and Healthiness

I was going over my old blog of Y360 and was looking at a few things that I had wrote on and it’s funny how some thing don’t change. In reflection of it all I can see that I am very persistent in what I do. Some things have changed slightly probably in the course of one year but not all that much. For myself that is.

 

I think we all go through cycles in life in some manner. Things go up and there are areas that revolve around the things that we really don’t have much control over. But I do believe in taking heed of what I can do. Not in what I can’t do.  One that I am staying convicted to what I am doing for myself with training. I am not a trainer that trains to be really big if you know what I mean. My training is geared towards agility and cardio. As we get older we find things that come up. And in seeing what I have seen within my own family with Cancer, this was the turning point for me that took me back into something that I have done since I was a child. But as an adult it's different, you train around the areas to improve your health. Certainly when I was younger I trained without a regard to anything but just doing it. Now I do it in a certain style and manner for health's sake.  Which is not work, it's actually fun.

Health does benefit one in so many ways. And once one has embarked on something most often if they stay with it - it become a healthy routine. A few months ago I could not hardly do a thing and now I am doing it. Am I returning back to where I was before, no I might surpass that but in a slower manner. As one friend mentioned a few times "I am whom I am". And in a time in which we live in a rather “I” society, I believe that there are times that one does come first.

Where does a trail lead – I think that all depends on what each person believes in and what ever gets him or her “there” so be it. It’s a time of people maybe over thinking things and I know I have done this especially with things that I have lived with for several years – but it’s not about the time lost or the loved ones that will not be around much longer – it’s about what life has to offer in the future. And regardless of what age you are – there is always time. That is if one desires it to be so. I know I do, and I know that my path took a drastic change with cancer within my family, and I came back last week learning some things again shared between my father and myself. I am the youngest in my family and yet it seems I am the keeper of my family. But I wish to spread my wings and fly. And that does not come all in one day. But it does come.

Real Friendships are never ending

This evening I had the pleasure of speaking to another friend. I guess I am catching up with some of the people that are important and have been significant to me. Rick is a chap that I grew up with in New York. He is of Italian decent, the entire neighborhood was for that matter with the exception of a few. And I received and email from him last night.

I called him and he lives in some small area – I forget the name as he has lived in Orlando for years, but things had went wrong for him financially and he lost his house and as well his job. He moved in with Lisa his sister and we talked for nearly two hours.  We talked about so many things. Rick was born into wealth, his father owned a company called Empire Pipe Line and the only problem that happened was that his father left the family and went off with his secretary. I remember it so well as Rick was smart and we had so much fun. I came from a family that that was much more conservative in comparison. But then when my father retired and I was on my way to learning what Canada was all about as a young teenager.  I left my best friend at a time that was the worst situation. 

Years later I went back with some courses that I was taking and I met up with Rick. Saw everyone. And Rick at that time was ready to move on with life and go to Florida, which became his home.  Regardless of all that he has currently lost he has not had to file for bankruptcy but he is going through things and working them out. 

I know many people write on faith and religion. Rick like myself were raised catholic, and then we went our own ways. And for myself I don't push my thoughts on what I believe in on areas, I just go about life in my own manner. I would consider myself more spiritual where I see Ricky as much more of a participant of his faith than myself. we talked about this and then so many other things. For him, it’s the foundation of all that he does.  He said that the last two years he lost sight of what had meaning for him as he became so caught up in spending and working for a company that was privately owned by a person that ended up doing the old game of saying that they are making changes where really when it comes down to it they just wanted to cut him out of the company. It happens.

Rick actually sounded very happy. I knew when I received one email from him that something had gone wrong and I have not spoke to him in at least a year. But he is not complaining he is in the making in his own way.  This is what I find so neat. I relate in a conversation with him better than anyone. I guess in ways you could call us brothers. He always uses that word and I know that for a person that is so contagious with his enthusiasm with everything that he embarks on. There is something wish keeping a friendship as such. I know I have wrote with regards to Sid and a few other friends that I have known since my transition from the states to Canada. And there was a time long ago where I really wished to have all of my American friends meet my Canadian friends. I thought that would have been the neatest thing.

Seems I understand things more at a different time and age. I am not sure how to say it, but in a year regardless of what I am doing I am going to catch up with Rick again. It seems that he has slowed down a tad, maybe we are growing up. Growing up in a generation that has so much to offer and yet has so much that one can loose sight of what are the most important things within life. 

I will see some sights that are speaking on areas and subject of America and to be entirely honest with you, my folks came back into Canada to have me as they were very naïve with what would happen with me if I had dual citizenship. Not kidding. Ironically my father was within the Air Force and he was worried that I would be drafted down the road. I know it sounds outlandish, but it’s really the truth. But within my own mind set, I feel that if I missed being America by only two weeks, I will think as if I am a dual citizen.
Why not.  I enjoy some thoughts on where these two countries are going – Canada and the United States.

I still do believe it does not matter where you reside. As far as when it comes to the individual or person.

Mondays Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.

This is a first to say the least.  Today we have been well over 100 degree in Fahrenheit.  We never were blended into it.  I was up early and my garage would not open.  Thank god, for my neighbour who knew how to fix it.  He was in a rush but had the time.  I have been literally all over the place but I fixed my own “new computer” on my own. Yes that along with other things. I never thought I would cover so much "ground" in one day. Thank god when they invented the air conditioner for a car. Actually that's not a bad idea, I love this thing called "GPS" where it tells you where to turn and when. But I don't have that and my driving inner compass is not the same as it used to be. Shhhh, it's a sign of age don't ya know.

In addition, I went to Best Buy and almost bought Adobe Photoshop.  Then I t thought to myself needs and wants.  I don’t really need it and the one young chap working there in sales said that I could get it online by way of something called bit torrent.  I am a bit hesitant in doing that kind of thing and I have always bought my own stuff.  Yeah stuff, you know the things we like those little things that are wants and occasionally you have to say “why not”.

Overall, it was a productive day.  I wrote something last night while I was finishing off wash that I have not done since I have moved into this house.  Yes, I know it is my fault and no one else’s.  Finally, I have it done and I have winter clothes in one closet and then summer close in another.
Meanwhile there is a main air conditioner that is and has been on all day, as the roof of this home gets so hot at night last night we had lightning like you would not believe.  Moreover, right now there is a forecast for thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes.  I used to love going chasing after all of these things but in all that I have done today I feel like I have had a Monday that equated to three days and I certainly feel it.
Let me fill you in on something, I do get private emails and I have had several things happen since I wrote what I wrote in an authentic manner with regards to my health.  Yeah I am talking about me.  I am not that vain, you may feel so, but really, I am not.  I am bold but and yet I am soft.  It’s the ying and yang of life.
So here, it is on a Monday.  Finally, the day is over, and the night commences.  For most of you that live in the hot climates – I really do not know how you do it for days on end where it is over the 100F mark.  It’s one thing to have hot weather but this is called really hot, with all letters really emphasizing how it's something that everyone is buy if they don’t already have an air conditioner, hmmm - there is a "Back to School Special".  And at the same time, we never were groomed into it this year.

Yeah my best bud is out on travels with a gal, and I am changing things all around. I can tell you one thing for sure. I am not about to join up with the designer guys nor the spice girls. Hmmm, come to thing of it there was never `Ole Spice....moooove over Posh!

I have bantered but I am a healed gent without shingles, and the only thing I have to do this week medically is get my one back tooth taken care of.  Gotcha but it is the truth.

Hey but you know what – let me let you in one a secret. Life is good!

(There is more underlying things that are taking place but when I wish to share it I will - but it's good, not doomy shall we say...).

Just doing my thang...:)

The Olympics of 2008

At a time in which we have seen so many other things on the television when we turn it on. On a global level we certainly saw the good side of what can be within global events. I don't know about you but I firmly believe that these past days have been much more of what we enjoy.

There still are some things on a worldly manner that are exciting.

 

Friendship makes...

Friendship make prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

We don’t just try in life.  We live life. Today I spent a good portion of the last two hours talking to friends that I have had in my life for some time. Seemingly the majority of my friends are have gone through a bind or are in the midst of one with a relationship with health.

I just got off the phone wish a good friend of mine by the name of Sid.  Sid is the only one out of all of us that has went through things and is currently. And yet at the same time his wife has not left him.  His entire existence is based on what is and the allowance of what is practical in life. Sid owned a large bar and grill and he had to shut it down. His wife stayed with him. Her name is Michele.

He has a situation medically that he is attending too and within this month hopefully it will be rectified.  We talked for one hour and he resides in another city and I asked him what keeps him going. He said “Jack we are not rock star wannabe’s no more”. Ironically I laughed as he and I are on the same page. We know this. He was talking about Aikido and how much he has heard of a special seminar going on right now in a city called Calgary.  He mentioned to me that after his surgery, he was going to call me and look into joining into it.  We talked about so many things from the Olympics, to what we have done. His wife came on the telephone and started joking along with us and at the end of our discussion I said to Sid. You have it made. He asked why, I told him that you have the same wife from long ago and in the last year of this journey of mine I have seen more divorces taking place. He told me that regardless of what may be happening in life, life is not about image, it’s about simply life.

He is a good friend, I have yet to take a trip and see him but I can honestly say that he is one friend that I met when I was 19. And while everyone trying to be something more than what they were, we were humbly doing our own thing. I look forward to meeting Sid after he has his operation.  Yet you would never know it.

That is life. And I think that we so wish to be more than what we are at times.

Perhaps just being is worth so much in life itself. In no manner is this doom or gloom. We all, yes we all have someting that takes place in life as we age. But the most important thing is in how we deal with it. I think I am on a new wave of thinking...better yet a return of how I see things from my own vantage.

August Vantages

This morning I merely wished to get some pictures from several areas early in the morning. Some were from the Campus here as well as a few other pictures were streetscapes of an area called Strathcona.

A Quick Hello

I just arrived back yesterday and have been gone and after returning back from going for lunch with a friend I wished to say a hello to each and everyone. I have some cleaning to do, as well as I am going to take my other computer and place it upstairs.

But that all said, I am not sure what to say aside of a weekend morning hello.

Moving Along...

The first things she said when I was sitting there, "What are you here for?"  Well this is not that large of a clinic.

I have the results of my MRI and I know right now that I have the wrong doctor tending to it. Both knees have several things she went through so fast and I would try to inquire what the meaning was but she was resilient on just reading out the letter from the and then mentioning that she did not feel that there was any need for anything to be done as it was not immediate.

So right now I am a question and in no manner with my knees am I a hypochondriac. I know basically there is a lesions of some sort on my right inner leg as well as well there is degeneration that comes along with age, but the one area of my left leg - is that the spongy material that is within there is broken in half. So I know.

I have taken the time to find out and now I will handles things in a manner that is fitting.  So I will leave it be for now, see how tomorrow is, I know that from several different areas I have been held back and now I am making my way. I do have my family - my folks that I do get calls from, my mother is the main one and while she has pretty much thought that I should move back to my former city. As she sees various things that are not going so well from here. Mother's are not dumb regardless of what age they are. They are the foundation of families and usually very wise. I am going take tomorrow and see how it goes.  And then I never makes any decisions in haste 

I try to make them wise.

Determination

My Apologies

I usually have been on for a little or at the same time I have wrote to other blogs.  On last week Tuesday to be exact, I saw that I had some rash and well I developed Shingles.  I went to a local clinic and as soon as the Doctor examined me he placed me on a very high anti viral medication.

I just wished to mention this I don't wish for any telephone calls as some have as there are periods that I have to rest and then get back up this is the first day that I feel much better and the rash is nearly all gone, not going to say where it was but I can tell you I have never had something so painful in my entire life.

Hopefully over this weekend as I am finished with these 3 x per day viral infection pills I will be able to tend to what needs to be tended too.

So right now it's let these pills finish off what they are doing and then thereafter make a few decisions. I guess I have been under more stress than what I have really thought I was. However it seemed to me that all was fine. So that is the truth and I have a heater going on down her in this basement and the one thing when you have a few things taking place at the same time - it's keeping some creative or something going, I have read, I have watched more television thank I care too. And I do believe in balancing it all out. So I have shingles that were caught before they entirely took over. But where they were is the most unconfortable place they could have come to be.

But two more days and they should be over.
