• Yikes! (7/16/10) [View | Hide]

  It has been forever! Between getting ready for a move, a busted down computer and work getting busy I haven't been online much. Actually, I really don't miss it too much. Computers eat up a lot of my day for work...the last thing that I need is more at home. I've been spending more time cooking, gardening, thinking things over. Removing the mind-numbing stuff really helps me. Although I do miss talking to some friends from far away...hopefully they'll want to welcome me back after my "re-evaluation and re-focus" of my life. To everyone that I've chatted with in the past...I hope that all is well, I think of you a lot and will be back...just in moderation instead of in excess. =)

• It's Been a While... (3/18/10) [View | Hide]

  It's been a while! I'm in the process of fixing up a new place and will be moving during the end of April. It'll all be worth the work when it's done. Peace, quiet and privacy. =)

• Selfish? (1/29/10) [View | Hide]

  So...say that I won the lottery...(unfortunately, I didn't)... I'd want to donate some to charity. But, I've read so much about charities that use a good majority of the donations for "administrative" reasons. Red Cross bosses getting huge salaries, etc. Paying for Make-A Wish trips, donating a skid of canned vegetables, donating clothes, giving actual items to schools instead of money...does that seem really "douche-like?" It seems to make more sense. At least I'd know that the money is used for the right reason. Is that selfish?

• A Comforting Decision (1/20/10) [View | Hide]

  I had a conversation with a co-worker yesterday regarding his wedding. He was just married on New Years Eve in a small intimate setting...nothing crazy. Finger foods, karaoke (a huge hobby for both the bride and groom). A pretty simple ceremony. He mentioned that his friend married them. I was kind of surprised by that comment. But, it seemed "right." Afterwords, I started thinking about all of my friends and their inability to be legally married. Then, I started to imagine how fantastic if would be when gay marriage is finally legal. So many gay and lesbian couples out there. So many that have been together SO much longer than a good portion of the straight marriages seem to last. Then I remember my co-worker talking about his friend. While I'm not a very religious person I do understand that ALL people have the right to believe what they want. People need to find comfort in something...that something is going to differ from person to person. Christianity, Judiasm, Islam, Wicca. Who are we to judge and decide. I believe in a higher power. But, I also believe that I have decided my life lessons with my higher power before I was born. I also believe in Karma. I also believe that our life on Earth is considered "Hell" and that we keep coming back to improve ourselves. Once we are done we "ascend" and go on to that "better place." I thought to myself that eventually gay marriage will be legal. This world will finally stop being so shallow and closed minded. And, what a better way to celebrate that than being able to join these partners together. Even if it is a commitment ceremony. The fact that I'd help others to feel closer to each other, be there to help others, enrich people's lives, enrich my own life and be able to grow closer with my higher power seemed to great to pass up. I became an ordained minister yesterday. Many will be totally offended. Why should I be ordained? I didn't go to seminary! It'll cheapen "faith." To those people...we'll have to agree to disagree. I can join couples that most religions would refuse. I can baptize. I can help people to feel closer to the God in which they believe...not the ones that organized religions demand. Most importantly...if and/or when gay marriage is legal...I will be able to help all of my friends by officiating their marriages. I can't imagine a greater feeling. This was not a decision made for "shock value." I don't plan on parading around announcing my acceptance in to the ministry. Sorry...ain't my style. (this blog doesn't count as shouting it from the rafters...I probably have 3 followers tops.) But, knowing that I'm closer to my higher power, helping others feel closer to their higher power and just being there for others in a spiritual way helps me to feel like I'm making a difference. Reverend Scott. Strange and comforting all at the same time. =)

• Evolve (1/20/10) [View | Hide]

  If you could choose any place in the world to visit where would it be? Someplace distant? Someplace close? How would you choose? How could you choose? Someplace relaxing? Someplace enriching? Choosing is the hardest thing. Everyone grows. Everyone improves. Everyone decides where to be. Everyone decided to be where they are right now. Decide on what can wait. Decide on what is right. Just make a decision, grow and evolve. Everything matters. Everything helps. Everything around you is a clue as to where you should be. Envision what can happen. Envision what can grow. Just make a decision! Grow! Evolve! If you could make any decision what would it be? Something scary? Something brave? How would you choose? How could you choose? Something difficult? Something necessary? Choosing will always be the hardest thing. Scott

• Another Night (1/15/10) [View | Hide]

  Another night. A couple glasses of wine and a keyboard to keep my company. Thinking too much. Wishing for too much. Imagining trips to far away places. Wondering what’s out there and wondering what I’d see. Seeing sights that I could never possibly dream. Seeing sights that I could never hope for more. Wondering what paths I chose to prevent me from seeing them. I’ll always imagine trips to far away places. I’ll always wonder what’s out there and wonder what I’d see. Promised that I made to myself that I’ve broken. Promises that I made to others that I need to keep. Wondering what paths I could have chosen had I kept the promises to me. I’ll always hope for trips to far away places. I’ll always hope to see what’s out there and still wonder what I’d see. Dreaming sights that I could never possibly see. Dreaming sights that I could never wish for more. Wondering what paths I need to take to see them. Another night. A few more glasses of wine and a keyboard to constantly keep me company. Wanting too much. Hoping for too much. Scott

• Happy New Year! (1/2/10) [View | Hide]

  Hi! Just wanted to wish everyone out there a very happy New Year. I'm not making resolutions...I'm making goals. They're pretty much the same thing. Resolutions seem to get thrown around a lot without much thought. They're also usually ignored after the second week of the year. Goals are taken more seriously. My goals. At least 2 complete rounds of P90X. And at least 8 drawings completed by the end of the year. What are yours?

• David Cook - Permanent (12/22/09) [View | Hide]

  Is this the moment where I look you in the eye? Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry. And everything, it will surely change even if I tell you "I won't go away today." Will you think that you're all alone when no one's there to hold your hand? And, all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary. Rest your head. I'm permanent. I know he's living in hell every single day. And, so I ask "Oh, God is there some way for me to take his place?" And, when they say "It's all touch and go" I wish I could make it go away. But still you say. Will you think that you're all alone when no one's there to hold your hand? When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head. I'm permanent. I'm permanent. Is this the moment where I look you in the eye? Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry. --------------------------------------------------------- If you'd like to hear a sample of this song feel free to click and paste this link. http://popup.lala.com/popup/504684680784471311

  Break down your pride And look at the view from both sides Make up your mind If you're going to unwind, unwind Steady the anger, steady the fear, steady the fury Steady the river out to the sea Steady the sunrise, no apology Give up this fight It makes no difference now who's right Dismantle your spite And surrender with all your might Steady the anger, steady the fear, steady the fury Steady the river out to the sea Steady the sunrise, no apology Steady the sorrow that comes over me Steady the silence, no apology Wait a beat because I can't see anything From where we're standing -------------------------------------------- If you'd like to hear a sample of this song follow the link below. http://popup.lala.com/popup/2810527664468138434

• More (12/16/09) [View | Hide]

  Taking the time to learn about someone else. Learning is good. Learning is right. Taking the time to share your emotions. Praying that they'll never leave you. They seem to run. No matter what you do. Scaring them off. You had nothing to prove! Just a desire to hear more about what makes them tick, live, love. Running on and on and on and on. They're gone. Talked too much...nothing more. Talk less, listen more. Have the ability to hold back, wait, be patient, remember your core. Your core reason for reaching out. To connect, to remember, to restore. Think of your reason. Your reason to grow. Restoring yourself in to what you really believe! Just don't push away your muse, your source, your passion. Your show of passion and dreams of life and more. Be more. Please, be more. Scott

• Mind the Fire (12/9/09) [View | Hide]

  The ease, it’s amazing. To wish for more. To hope for more. Never happy with what you have. Never cherishing what you have. Eventually forgetting what you have. Then you have a want for something different. What used to be a blaze had become an ember. Remembering could revive the past. Simply needed is a reason to stoke it again. Wanting it to rise again and fill the hole that was left after the desire burned away. Suddenly some fuel, Some oxygen. Some kindle. Something waving above the glow creating needed circulation. Pushing the air in just the right direction. Hopefully receiving just enough attention. Just enough to create a flicker that can become a flame again. A little unexpected push may be all it takes. Sometimes you only get a nudge. Wanting to be better. Wanting the encouragement. Wanting it to grow and become powerful again. Build it up. Fill the void that feels like a cave in your chest. Hope that the inspiration will never leave you. Hope that the burn from the emptiness is replaced. Traded for a fire reborn inside. Pray that the stirring that has returned will continue to live. Try not to overwhelm the source and mind the fire. Try to make it an inferno. Get excited about what you have. But, not too much! Something frightened will disappear like light and heat from a smothered candle. As quickly as it is discovered it can also be lost. Lost for any reason without explanation. The ease, it’s amazing. To wish for more. To hope for more. Be happy with what you have. Cherish what you have. Never forget what you have. Never forget what brought that fire back to life again. Scott
