Idle ramblings from deep in the cheap seats

Well ,here's the latest meme...



( another meme... )

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

 

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Now, everyone who knows of me, 
knows of my introduction to this forum.
I present to all a photo!
To all who have known me from my past, I have been of a liquid sort. 

I like beer.
I have no shame.
I can accept anyone, drinker or not.
I will not look down on anyone, imbiber ir not.
I will not feel shame for the beverage I may or may not choose at the end of the day.
Everyone here is my friend.
I accept anyone who reads my posts with open arms.

I did something today, not done since my days of teen.  I purchased a backpack.







Now to the average reader, it's not much.

But to okoshun , it's something I want you to know.
I'm never going to knowingly put my life in danger .
 
I love you.

There have been times in my life where my priorities have been misplaced.

You are my love, and my heart,and body are yours to n to share (except for battalion games...a guy's gotta have something)

I love you.

Here it is folks, what I look like cleaned up after participating in a viloent blood-sport.

I know you're all dying to see it, but for those who arent, I'll hide it.( Look if you dare... )I know.  I need a shave.  Tomorrows friday.

Ok, here are my answers.  Yes, I was bored.  Now, I'm bored again.  Can I do the survey over?


( Anyone interested? )

 Well, as long as everyone else is doing this:

Due to popular demand, Here is my list.  I didn't add anything, because I can't think of anything to add.

Hope this doesn't freak anyone out.

01) Bold what is true about you.
02) Underline what is half true.
03) Italicize what you wish was true about you.
04) Add one true thing about you to the end of the list.
05) Tag five LJ friends, if you want.
06) Ask me anything about any of my answers, if you want.

Hey all!

I just got home from the best trip ever.  Just a few things I learned, and questions I have, after all was said and done.

1.  I never want to fly so much that it looses it's novelty.  Flying twice in 2 days, as opposed to 3 times over the previous 34 years, showed me how much fun it can be to sit there,and cover 400 miles in just over an hour.  JetBlue is basically a Greyhound bus with wings, But I had a blast.

2.  How does that Naked Cowboy in Times square make a living.

3.  If I keep staying at these posh joints, I will be ruined.  Motel 6 will miss me.

4.  Skydome (now named for a maniacal Cable TV miser who isn't Ted Turner), is a glorified hole in the ground, and should be reduced to a parking lot post-haste.  Over the past 3 years, I have visited 2 of baseballs cathedrals: Wrigley Field in Chicago (stay away from Cubby Bears unless you are in a Cub's jersey or very brave) and Yankee Stadium last night.  See #3.

5.  okoshun, this one is just between us.  You know what I mean.

6.  theycallmebeth, stop calling me a lurker.  I found something I wanted to share.  Are you happy?

Thanks for reading.  More from the cheap seats at a later date.

 Ok all you pervs out there.  This is my first blog post.  Ever.  Anywhere.

I just want to say hi to all who added me as a friend.  Guilt by association I guess.  Hi to all, and another big hi to O.
