https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/This is an arena in which the raw, uncensored Alf will emerge. I have deleted almost all of my other blogs...it is here, in these remaining three that you will get to know me if you look closely. I have undergone a change in life. Passed yet another milestone in my development as a human. I am not here to make friends or enemies, I am here to express myself and exchange ideas, however if friendships do occur, they are welcome. As are your comments good or bad.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/469418Fathers day was nothing special, as usual we gathered in one place and shared a meal, told stories, and sang songs as a family. My parents, siblings, and children were there. The fare was not special either, as usual it was hotdogs purchased in bulk at one of the bulk food stores. The beans and...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/468681First of all, I think I am within bounds mentioning names because when Julia wrote her post she used lines from my last post...so any small amount of detective work would yeild my identity anyway. So here I am...the scourge of blogit: Alf. Mayby I am a little thick or something...that's quite...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/468226The rarest of precious gems, long thought to be a myth Has nonetheless been the focal point of his whole life; his quest, his goal, his mission, his Holy Grail. He now stands before it, this warrior poet…at long last. Though tattered and torn from the journey, he is shaken but whole. All that is...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/466866I’m 44 years old. One would think at this age a person would not have to experience change with the same frequency they did when they were 18. However, all about me, hanging thick in the air is the pungent scent of change, I cannot escape it. Everywhere I look, everywhere I go, even in my dreams...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/466621Hello everyone, those who I remember fondly and those I have never encountered. It's me, Alf. This is the first time I have peeked in on blogit for months, it was fun catching up on what people have been writing about. I have been busy; the golf/fishing/home improvement season has replaced the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/443512This is inspired by Onetimeagains post about Sunday's. As I read her post iot struck me how the same day can be so different for different people. Because of the nature of my profession, which in a nutshell is selling things to people. I need to be available when people are not working...that...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/442392My earliest memory of Valentines Day is 3 rd grade. It was the first year of school that I knew how to write and read well enough to express myself, and the first year that my attraction for the opposite sex had become a distracting presence in my life. We all made bins or baskets out of...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/442109Hello everyone. I've not been to blogit for a few days. I have enjoyed some time today catching up on what people have been writing in my absence. No, I didn't go anywhere, not physically. I have just been absorbed with the preoccupations that life hurls at me at times. It is an interesting...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/439657I like the game of poker a lot. I am becoming quite adept at it. In doing so I can’t help but notice analogies in poker that can be related to life itself. Unlike other table games poker is not a game of chance. While luck does play a definite role you also have the ability to create your own...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/A_Norseman/438939There was a mute man who walked in a store. He wanted too buy a toothbrush so he made motions with his hand like he was brushing his teeth and the shopkeeper realized what he wanted to buy. The transaction was completed and the man left. A short while later a blind man came in who desperately...
