As you read in my last post I dabble a bit in fine art photography. I also paint abstract paintings. Abstract expressionism for me is a way to "exercise the demons" that come with an eighteen month deployment. I am currently doing a body of work Titled "Coping through Creativity" I paint at least... Sign in to see full entry.

People are surprised to learn that I dabble in fine art photography. I always tell them it is a bit of hobby that has run amuck. A few weeks ago I told someone that and they said "that's no hobby Sugah, you are an Arteeeest." I enjoy photography and primarily take landscape pictures. A gentleman who...

Do you remember the days of grade school when getting caught chewing gum in class was an offense worthy of the electric chair? Well, I had a science teacher in the seventh grade that I am sure missed his calling as a "PSY OPS" officer. On the first day of class, as most children do, we had to test...

It seems she was out carousing the bars in my old home town and ran across my first crush. On and on she went about how they talked forever and he bought her a drink. Imagine my surprise to be told that of all the things happening in the world... Sign in to see full entry.

In everyone's family tree lurks a list of family expressions that the rest of the world probably isn't up to speed on. Although, I am sure that some of these are not original, they have made their rounds in our family conversations for years. Most of these quotes stem from days prior to political...
