A Day To Recuperate

I went to the Calaveras Celtic Fair in Sonora yesterday, and had an absolute blast. After all of the drama that has unfolded in my life over the past few weeks, I needed something like that to help me gain perspective on some things. It's been tough trying to adjust to working the night shift. I've... Sign in to see full entry.

Death

A few months ago my grandfather passed away. Today, the woman he dedicated his life to followed him into eternity. After years of battling heart failure, arthritis and many other debilitating illnesses, she had lost the will to go on without him, and succumbed to the flu that had already taken the...

Random Thoughts From The Night Shift

And so I prepare to start day three out of nine in a row, and I pause to remind myself that the only reason I have a job is for the benefits and paycheck. Not so people will like me, not to make friends or meet men, but because it gets me the things I want and need. But sometimes I wonder if it's... Sign in to see full entry.

Duh....

I can get so pissed at myself sometimes. Normally I'm a fairly happy go lucky kind of person. Sure I'm a bit on the dark side of happy go lucky, but I've got a pretty good attitude over all. But one of my biggest failings in life is how easily I can misuse my gift of empathy when dealing with other... Sign in to see full entry.

Long Night

Have you ever noticed how some people can truly make a situation intolerable, simply by their negative attitude? I've encountered many such people in my lifetime. They aren't bad people, but they are the very epitome of "downer". Nothing makes them happy, everything is a disaster, and the bitching... Sign in to see full entry.

Ah Graveyard...

Well I'm not entirely sure what day it is anymore. As I've re-discovered working the graveyard shift, my days begin when everyone else's ends. My nights are days and days are nights. And everything in between is a confused mess. Unbelievably agitating for someone who likes order as much as I do, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Begin Again

It's been a long time since I worked the night shift, but I'm somewhat amazed at how quickly my body has adapted to the change. Not that my body likes it at all, but definitely adapted in a hurry. I've always been a bit of a night owl. Prefering to stay up late and sleep in early has been my modus... Sign in to see full entry.

Homecoming

HOMECOMING PLEASE READ ON - THIS IS AWESOME! Pictures at the end, do not miss. In Tennessee we really do pull off the road and stop for funerals......nobody moves until the last car has gone by. What follows is a message from Vicki Pierce about her nephew James' funeral (he was serving our country... Sign in to see full entry.

The Brave

'For who is it that is greater? The one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? As I reflect on this photograph, I see once again that not all the brave leave the 'home of the brave' to enter battle; some are required now to be the brave of the home It is said a picture is worth a thousand...

About this Blog

The force of darkness and destruction within each of us is balanced with a force of light and love for our fellow man. These forces struggle and strive within each of us. To ignore one is to ignore the other. We cannot know the light if we do not acknowledge the dark. We cannot know life if we do not acknowledge death. This blog is an attempt to explain where I came from, and how I struggle daily to find and keep that balance.
