The Morning After... Again

As I mentioned here, I'm working on a straight forward very long article or very short novella sized story on suicide. The concept is based on me talking with a suicide victim wanna-be. I intend it to be as brutally frank, honest, abrupt, and uplifting as I can possibly make it. I think it has to be... Sign in to see full entry.

The Morning After...

This isn't mine. I've worked a few suicide prevention centers and I've talked for a few thousand hours with those considering it. I had a fairly decent sized section of my second paper back that dealt with it but yet, it keeps happening. I'm working on another story that deals with it. Vincent Van... Sign in to see full entry.

Those Darn Commas

Thank you for the input on my last post here. As luck would have it, I got tied up helping a new user set up their ad system for a live football game tonight just outside of Chicago. While the struggle to see the error causing him the grief was a nuisance, it helped me focus and i finally found a... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow!

It's funny when you think about it. You spend weeks keeping the same pattern, the same routine, and the same resolve, writing at the same time everyday. One thing comes up and you find yourself hard pressed to get back into the routine. It has been a week since I last wrote in my stories and despite... Sign in to see full entry.

Life Is For Learning

Not the best start to a day. I wake up to find a long time friend is in the hospital in Grand Rapids with a possible stroke, a cousin I just recently spoke with has died, another friend has lost a father, and a man I barely knew has also died. I know that sounds like a strange combination of people... Sign in to see full entry.

Home

A weird few days is behind me and I'm just getting home. I went into a string of PVC's (premature ventricular contractions), something I've had a problem with the past ten years or so but this time, they didn't want to stop. A long story is I've had an internal defibrillator installed and it seems... Sign in to see full entry.

An Unintentional Break

I think somewhere along the way I've mentioned I needed to have some surgery done on my heart. Well, an incident early Friday set off a chain of events that find me scheduled for the first of three cardiac surgeries at 10AM Monday, September 14th. I am not frightened or worried about this but... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Been A Long Day!

Whew. An off day for sure. While i don't feel bad, I sure in heck don't feel good. I suppose that it being 62 one day, then in the low 90's the next three and then dropping back into the upper 50's and low 60's didn't help. Oddly enough, I got a lot done in my writings. I added about 975 words to... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not sure how this will work for some of you but this is an incar camera from one of those big "boarded" outlaw late mdoels I wrote about last time. These cars are hitting about 115 to 125 mph. https://www.facebook.com/derrick.hilliker/videos/981200861930368/?pnref=story Sign in to see full entry.

Fast and Female!

Just a driveby splattering of photos from the weekend. The first two are what they call "Outlaw Late Models," racecars with huge 4'x8' boards to help them corner MUCH faster than normal. The blue 21 car was clocked at 120+ mph during time trials. We also have one of the largest contingent of female... Sign in to see full entry.
