As we rode along we didn't talk about why or where we were going. (If we said anything I don't recall it.) At a point near some train tracks we saw a group of boys tossing what appeared to be model railroad cars. Some of the cars seemed quite old.

I consider my life and think of things and choices I have made that led to where I am now. I consider each step and the clearer vision of hindsight. Some choices I remember the 'why' of those choices, and in hindsight, sometimes it was the 'better' way; sometimes it was not. So here I am now, is where I am so 'Flint Luchtainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06885273102938134899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984581114948851057.post-36322815913250257922008-12-31T23:43:00.001-06:002008-12-31T23:43:17.328-06:00Day: 12/31/08The end of another year. A time of reflection and remembrance of the previous 365 days.I didn't complete any major projects this past year. I started a number, but as always, they hit a point where my focus was drawn away in another direction.I did manage to get some of my debts paid down and one paid off. It was a painful process, but it has to be done.

We have had a beginning yoga dvd for a few months now, and have only used it once. With the holidays, everything, including exercise was pushed to the back burner. As a new year resolution (as if anyone really keeps those things) I am going to try to maintain some measure of an exercise routine. I can not keep on the way I am now.

A day for friends, family, food, and celebration. Of course, to the kids, I should add 'getting presents' but to some of us, there is a lot more to Christmas than just getting things.Case in point, my girlfriend's daughter was desperately hoping to receive a Hannah Montana guitar toy for a gift.

As I walked the parking lot towards my car, I saw a middle-aged, black woman in the lot as well. She was dirty and very unkempt, but was moving around and generally otherwise well. When I noticed her my defensive alarms came on and I kept one eye on her as I moved closer to the car.

My plate mail was of dark black color and had silver emblems on the shoulder guards and breastplate. I was in a place and it was necessary for me to attack/defend off someone.

This "to cause change in conformity with the will" to me is the basic understanding of what magick is. That we pray, or do other, to some higher power to change some aspect of our world to something else; to cause change.

For those that do not know, a 'fun' party is also known as a "dildo party". We have a company "For Girls Only" and two of their representatives come to the house and display many of their products. This is the third party we have had "For Girls Only" representatives Dawn and Kelly entertain us.

In the yard was a variety of great and small cats, and some 'odd' dog-like creatures. I say dog-like because I knew them to be dogs, but they were over-developed in certain areas.

My legs are still doing 3 sets at 20 lbs, but my arm curls have been slow going. I had thought they might be further along when I started, but I guess that was not the case. I am planning on stepping my legs up to 25 lbs, but I will keep the arms at 20 for the time being.

I am trying to keep it simple so I do not overdo it and lose interest.For starters, I have always known that my upper body strength was far behind my lower body. My lower torso, well, a beer belly does not quite cover it. So, I need to increase my upper strength, trim my middle, and tone my lower.To begin, as I said, simply, I did just two Flint Luchtainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06885273102938134899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984581114948851057.post-34770399676072110692008-05-04T11:58:00.003-05:002008-05-04T12:19:21.410-05:00Day: 5/3/08We had the annual family crayfish cookout today.

I was running in a shirt and underwear. I attempted to hide in an abandoned room and he followed not too far behind me. As I was hiding, I heard another person enter the room. This new person was toting a very, very large blue serpent. The room I was hiding in was the cage/housing for this particular serpent. I fled, with Chong beside me, from the room.
