My uncle and I were traveling along in a pickup truck to his parent's (deceased) house. 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 don't remember who, but one of us rushed over and recovered

Wizard/Warrior Fight:Me and my girlfriend were rope climbing through people's houses. It was as if each house had a tree in the middle, the ropes would circle the upper branches but we would still be inside. We had been moving from house to house through these inside trees when we came to one of an elderly couple. My girlfriend suddenly was having problems in the tree so I went to try to help her

I wonder sometimes if the things in life are entirely by our own design and choices. 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 '

The 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 are still working on maintaining some

Okay, so I am trying to get started on my exercises, again. 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. By

I have been having dreams on and off again. More off, as usual, than on, but that is normal.Of the couple of dreams I have had since my last blog post regarding it, nothing is remembered except that I did dream.

Another Christmas. 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. Of the celebrations that I attended with her, she did not receive this toy a single

Dream 10/31/08: FamilyI was at my grandparents house and my grandpa was remembering that he wanted to give me a cordless drill he had no further use of. He reached atop the refrigerator and brought down a sprinkler head for a garden hose. I told him that was not a drill. He ‘oh’ed and then went back to searching.

Dream: 10/30/08Had a dream again last night/this morning. Very story like in its nature, but I remember so very little of it from waking.I know there were children in it. Like they had some purpose born unto them.There were violent animals and I believe even a child from a different dimension that I wrestled with.As seems to be the case lately. I was in a defensive state, but I was an aggressive

Dream: 10/26/08I was leaving Walgreen’s late after work at night. 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. She had apparently noticed me as well but did not

Dream: 10/23/08 – Knight of the ShieldI had attained a knighthood in the Order of the Shield. 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. I felt like I was in a school building I had been previously familiar with. I had a long tube with a wad in it that looked like

It is in my understanding that when a person prays, performs ritual, hopes, and/or dreams, that they are in effect attempting to cause a change in conformity with their will. 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.

Words to the wise: "If a friend invites you to see their new pool, make sure it was NOT just filled up...after the sun was in the later part of the day." We greatly enjoyed the invite, as we deepened newer friendships and spread the joy. :)My son, despite the coldness of the water really enjoyed himself, once he figured that if Daddy can get in the water, so can I. As it is, the pool was just

We had our semi-occasional 'fun' party this night. 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. Typically, the party consists of a LOT of alcohol,

I acquired a couple of items over the weekend of which I am quite excited. The first is the book, "Chaos: The Making of a New Science" *ad pimp alert* which can be found in the Amazon list to the right *end ad pimp alert*. The other book is Liber Null & Psychonaut (which I have yet to scratch the surface of). The last thing I bought was a new deck of cards of Shaman cards (I do not remember the

Just a few bits of this dream remembered.I recall seeing outside a number of times into a backyard much larger than my real backyard. 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. Like the one I saw the clearest the front half was very developed and yet compact,

Well, up to today, I had been keeping to my small exercise routine. 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 know it sounds weird, but I never liked having to stop

Today I started back on my exercise regimen. 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

We had the annual family crayfish cookout today. This is a grand party held by the family where many friends, family, and others are invited to the house to eat, drink, and be merry.For me and my small part of the family, we have attended this gathering since its inception. My girlfriend was first introduced to crayfish after the second party. She was a stubborn non-eater of the little delicacies

Tommy Chong was chasing me with a pistol. 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.

As I was surfing around the internet today at Entrecard.com I found myself peering into various blogs that I was wondering just what the overall purpose was. Admittedly, I don't particularly have a direct purpose for this blog ( I pretend I know what I am doing ), but some of these blogs were so choked with advertisements and link exchangers that I could not find what the person writing the blog

Well things have been pretty slow around the house and at work lately. I have not had much energy to do much exploring of the internet or much else. I really am starting to hate being sick like this. It has only been a month or so, but the constant cough and sinus problems are really starting to wear thin. The antibiotics I am on are giving me the runs, so keeping myself well hydrated is more

Well, my year of work on the Domani School has come to an end. I have studied, drafted, erased, and pulled more than a few hairs out over the course of the year. At the end of all that, progress has been minimal.The most I can say I actually did is modify the school motto.Regenerate the website (did a lot better this time. :) .Pared down the course list and generated a rough idea of what the

A strange night this night.I awoke at 1:30'ish in the morning to a fit of coughing. I had taken some Robitussin to control the cough not an hour earlier, but it didn't seem to have the punch to knock it out. So, I was left wondering what I would do about this situation. I felt a bit sore from the coughing so I figured what I needed was a good warm bath. Perhaps the vapors from the hot water would

I had been transferred to Chancery Court. I found myself seated near the middle of the office (similar to where I am now) facing the front doors and I could see a small marble topped counter ahead of me where filings were taken in. I heard a dot matrix printer begin printing, and thinking to myself that someone had printed a label for a court jacket. I looked about to see where the printer was or

It particularly irritates me at the absolute laziness of some people in the business world. Granted, there are some jobs that just by their very existance makes you wonder what they are there for since there are no duties actually assigned to such a position. But, it is the labor force of our society that I am talking about. The grunts in the foxholes on the front lines of retail. I have tried

So me and the girlfriend drove to Jonesboro this day. Boring. We did manage to keep ourselves conscious be talking, but there was not much to look at.

Yep, I have been slacking off at my blogging. Truth be told, there is not really much to talk about. The only real article of semi-interest is my girlfriend's mother. As it is, they ran her to the emergency room over the weekend and ran her through the gears a few times, a real guinea pig routine. They at first thought that she had a cancerous growth, but now that is questionable. There are

The "links I like/use" has been changed to "Whims of Chaos" because typically these are things that I just came across without really looking for them, so the name seems more fitting. I have also added a "Shop-A-Holics" section of internet

Well now, Easter time again. I hope everyone had a nice holiday, and those of us that got a three-day weekend, it just didn't seem long enough, did it? Oh well, back to the daily grind.We were a bit heavier in the company department this year with the addition of my uncle, aunt and cousin from Texas coming up for the holiday. It's been quite a while since we have seen any of these family members,

Ok, as if looking for Wiccan things and finding a Protestant message board isn't bad enough.So I was browsing through ask.com 's blog engine for 'chaote' and what do I find? A Baptist message board, weird, yeah? The Landover Baptist Church Forum. Once again I wonder what in the Chaos the Chaos is doing giving me this place, so I dive in and start reading. In honesty, I can't recall a forum where

Please give a moment of silence for my friend, Aradiana and her family. Today they have lost a dear loved one after many months of struggle.Author's note: I have invited a couple of my dear friends to join me in blogging here, hopefully you will see some of their work in the near future. In the meantime, I will continue to blog here as best I can and hope that Lord Darkfyre and Lady Aradiana join

Well, today was a pain in the bud. Sinuses had kicked up to high gear apparently and left me weak and not doing so well. After trying to convince myself I did not have a temperature, I broke down and took it; 102F...yeah, ok, so I'm sick. I figure the only way to get myself back up and running is to take the day and drug myself up so much that I just sleep the day away and let the body do its

Today was a day of family and friends. We started the day by having one of our friends drop off her son for a few hours while she went to work. This is a good thing, as it gives my son someone his own age to play with. I admit that he is not often able to have time with those of his age group in that my neighborhood is mostly older couples whose grandchildren are all older than him. I can not, at

Ok, so when things go wrong, they usually do so at the worst possible time. Take for example my now deceased washing machine. While I am working Saturday, I get this cryptic call from the house saying that the "washing machine is making a funny sound." Now, guys, if you've dealt with a lot of women in this department, you know what this means. So, I say that there isn't much to be done about it

I have once again been carried by the winds of Chaos into unknown and unfamiliar territory. This time, in the effort to research one thing, I was delivered to another.This site is what I refer to: http://bibleforums.org/forum/index.phpThis site is a Protestant Christian bulletin board system. If you were ever curious about this branch of Christianity, I would have you read here as these

Ok, so it has been a few days since my last post. Admittedly, there just really hasn't been anything of any note worth talking about. I haven't had much time to read, been sick to a point where my mental processes are just working enough to keep me mobile, and, well, it's a dull ride sometimes. :)However, with that said, I did have an interesting consideration today. I found myself questioning, "

Ok, still not much of anything going on.Work is still work. Though job #2 became more difficult as the night went on. We started off short-handed, as one of our girls called in. Normally, this isn't much of a problem, but, an hour into my shift, another girl said she had to go home for being sick. Ok, bigger problem now. So, with just a cosmetician on the front register, and me in the photo lab

Been kind of a slow few days for me. I have spent some of my time perusing various online comics, which I have added links to the ones I liked at the bottom of this page. To say there is a lot of unknown talent out there is an understatement. I makes me wonder how these artists and creative forces are so underutilized. I look at Hollywood and the movie and tv companies and think of how little

Party time at the house. We had worked hard to scrub and polish the last few items in the house for the baby shower. The meat tray, vegetable tray, ice cream punch, bite-size little wieners, and other drinks were all assembled and laid out for the guests to begin arriving. We had been told to expect 30 or so people. Now, I don't know who learned how to count where, but we had maybe 8 show. 30...8

Rearranging day! Ok, after having the den in its configuration for a few years now, we felt the need to open it up a bit. I freely admit, I am not a decorator. But, courtesy of a friend of ours, we managed to rearrange the furniture and what nots into a workable space. At first impression, the room does feel like it has a little more foot space to it. Only time will tell if it holds up. I have it

Strange day today. I was busy, but not busy, at the same time. Of course, I think I mostly felt that way because work was interrupting my reading. My focus on my studies has increased as I have continued to navigate through the internet. For the past two, or so, days, I have been slowly advancing through a file regarding CyberCraft. I have been taking my time with this file as I hit a reference

Well, nothing much to report about lately. It has been a number of days of just routine work and sleep. Of any research I've done, I have been online reading various web pages on Chaos Magic practice and theory. To see some of my travels, I have added a new page feature of links that I find useful and care to share. It is right below the RSS feeds for other blogs on the right-hand side of the

It never ceases to amaze me at how many people wait until the last minute to make purchases around various holidays. In this instance, Valentine's Day. This day, at the store, we were nearly mobbed. I am curious as to how so many people can wait until the 11th hour when they know that a certain day is approaching they can, in good conscious, purchase things that are supposed to have a meaningful

My mood seemed to darken somewhat today. I don't know if it is just a depression from dealing with different facets of my life as it is now, or just boredom. Probably a little of both. I guess at some point, someone would say I was depressed. Oh well, it is something that I have dealt with before. Time is on my side this time, too. Sure, things may look bad, but at least I can have some faith

While at work, I found myself musing over an odd subject. IF one product is supposedly better than any others, then WHY are there a million and one types of it? Sprays, creams, lotions, gels, ovules, spray gels, spray creams, etc. I can understand why there are normally different brands, but for one brand to have one product in 30 different varieties (and I'm not just meaning flavors, colors, or

Having taken up the path of Chaos Magick, I have found chaos in my life in many strange ways. I do have to note, that I have to remind myself that just because I have an energy to call upon for help, does not mean to call on it every second of every day. I mention this because I have on occassion called upon Chaos to help me in some way that I probably should be doing on my own. Or, that it was

Ok, being sick isn't really much fun. Oral and anal diarrhea don't always combine well. If you're not praying to the porcelain god, your sitting on 'im. I am not quite sure of the reason for my illness, though I suspect my sinuses have a lot to do with it. So, I took most of the day off work. Come about 5 p.m. I was feeling a bit better so I took my chances and went in to job #2. In hindsight, I

More study today for me. This time, I was spending time online to find out about various Norse (viking) hol(y)days. As most information regarding the ancient Norse religion has been obscured or corrupted or forgotten over the years, there is much variation and variety to be found. Some days I found were claiming ancient origin, even to preclude recognized Christian holidays. These earlier days

I was at work. It had just turned lunch time so I headed out of the building to find my father. I thought him to be at an apartment building nearby called "Energy Tower". I felt familiar in this building, but 'edgy', as if I hadn't been in the building for a while. I stepped into the elevator to check the different floors for a 'potty' (restroom, why I used 'potty' I don't know right now). Odd

Of today, it was a strange day. I followed pretty much my normal routine for a typical work day, but as I went through the minutes of my job, there was something 'odd'. People around me seemed different. Their actions and words and 'feel' were off, different, almost alien.I had a couple of magickal friends do a check on me, because I was feeling a bit different as well. Turns out that my aura was

This day is my one day of the week that I don't have to work. Momma picked up her new glasses (see Day: 1/26/08 for the full story on that) and was amazed that the old prescription was actually worse than she thought. Everything was peachy. Yes, I said 'peachy'.Later this day, we met with the main core of my mother's side of the family for a belated/early birthday dinner at her place. Belated for

This day proved to be a rather trying day.As is our usual routine, we had stayed up late the previous night, and were enjoying sleeping in late this morning. However, this proved to be the catalyst for the remainder of the day. My son, at 2 1/2 years of age, has finally learned how to operate a doorknob. Well, he isn't one for sleeping in. He decided that he would occupy himself while we were

This day appeared to begin as any typical day for me. There was a brief bright spot, as a couple of suggestions/ideas proposed to upper management received some notice after a number of days of no word regarding them. Things are moving forward, it would appear. The rest of the first part of the day was relatively uneventful.The second job held new (old hat) surprises in that one person called in
