Happy Fourth of July to All!


Happy 4th, of July 2013 to all! I hope all remember what our forefathers fought for-religious freedom, the right to bear arms for self-protection, equality and no taxation without representation! As you PIcnic, Swim, Barbecue, and Celebrate with Fireworks, reminisce some about the USA’s past and why we needed these rights and what it means to be Free! Think about the men and women who died to keep us free and to help the world stay free the best we can, for without the USA there would be no shining beacon of light to want to be like. So, keep us number one and lead don’t trail behind or lag, show em, Americans are the Best!.

 

Remembering, Holiday and Heros


     The 3rd of July 2013 has arrived,  a day which was my mom’s birthday in 1932. So, Happy Birthday Mom, May you Rest in Peace!

In my family, we were not a very close-knit bunch, at least in the core unit I grew up in. There was many reasons for this and all were associated with the parents I grew up with. Mom, married twice, and had two of us by her first, and then three by her second. There was always a dividing line between the two sets of kids, which I tried to bridge in many ways, but never fully did, except with my sister whom I love dearly. I will never  allow anyone to hurt my sister and I love her dearly and she loves me. We made our relationship work and always will Mom. I can’t change the brothers, or the fact one of us died at 30, but I can hold to my sister and her to me.

That said and done, I don’t know if mom or dad, or my step-father would recognize America as it is today. They came from the we generation and it was always one for all and all for one with them. Like I said, in their final years, all dying of cancer America began to change to what I call the Me, Me Generation of today.  Back in the old days people helped their neighbors, or stopped to help someone on the street with a flat or car problems. Today they will run ya over before they will help ya, and everyone fear, everyone else. It’s really a sad thing.

As we all get ready to celebrate America’s Annual Celebration of the Date of Independence, I want to wish all a Happy Holiday with family and friends to keep close by. For all Veterans who served and were either injured  or served in times of war or peace, I wish all a peaceful joyful day, pain free and with those you love, we served not for our sakes, but to protect the virtues, dreams and rights of the people we love and care about, and all Veterans deserve respect. 

With the Holiday in mind and the celebration too, I will give you now a link to a story I wrote, that bring a little humility to the Holiday and Celebration: Tells talk real Heros: “National Guard Heros”—-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CIH88HU

As you throw fireworks to the skies and picnic and swim, think of those who gave their health, mentally and physically or those lifes to protect this country with the greatest freedoms in the world.

       

 

Remembering Mom, Her birthday is Tomorrow!


       In 1932 on July 3rd, my mother was born. She wasn’t perfect no person is, but she did do one job for all of her kids, she taught us right from wrong and kept us alive. I miss her at times for she could be smarter than an owl, and wiser than a king. But in the end, her emotions would get the better of her, and not everything would come out right in the end. But in the end, she was still mom and all I ever had in my life that was steady, and I give that to her. She died in October of 1991 of cancer of the lungs, one year and one day after her second husband died of the same thing. So, for her and my step-father, after all their love and fighting together, their giving and taking and more, my sister and I paid to bury them together. They deserved eternity together, for it was when they were together alone, that they loved best and were happiest. So, as July 2nd rolls on and the 3rd approaches, I just want to wish my mom eternal peace on her birthday. Loved ya Mom, even if none of us knew how to show it while you lived!

Talking about mom and her birthday and such I give you the link to my story about mom and I called:

 “Confrontations With Mom”—-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DC3BQK0

It explains why we were always at loggerheads and fighting and why things ended up the way they did. Hope  other mothers and children will read it and not let it happen between them .Image

Welcome to July & Tick Tock My Story


Welcome to July 2013 and the beginning 4Th of July Holiday! The Fireworks will go crazy again like every year but be constrained mostly to backyard and park venues. Money is tight folks and so are the laws now a days, lets not hurt ourselves or anyone else. be careful!  While you are  resting try my short story;     “Tick, Tock The Infernal Clock”

Sickness/4Th Of July Holiday/ Romance Stories


     June 30th, 2013,  begins with a  cup of coffee, a hacking cough and some rest from the day before from sickness. I hack, my lungs are filled with fluid at times, my throat tickles and drives me to cough more. It’s like an endless cycle that one can’t escape. A Trip to the Doctor the day before brought antibiotics for the next ten days at 100 mgs. per shot, twice a day. The fever broke on its own, but the cough doesn’t let up easily and affects my sleeping some. Ah well, one thing at a time is all I can do.

     As the 4th of July is now one day closer, Americans minds are going out to wild weekends, barbecues, families and parties. As we set ourselves up for the celebration of the birth of Independence and becoming our own nation. As the fireworks go off all over our land soon with the night skies filled with colors, the beaches filled people in bathing suits, and children frolicking around, be careful of sunburns, skin cancer, eating too much and poison ivy and more out there. Lets stay healthy and have clean good fun folks and hurt no one, peace is now why we still exist today. Remember our Forefathers fought for our freedoms, our right to practice our own faiths in peace. our right to bear arms and protect ourselves, and against taxation without representation. We won folks so we now tax ourselves with our own government, and we have our rights, all because our forefathers believed we deserved to be a nation under god of our own. Enjoy it.

As June 2013 passes this year and July comes in tomorrow we have reached the second half of 2013, will it be poor or better, I wish I knew. I hope for the best and make plans to hang on through the worst, and recommend the same for all Americans out here. The world is a cruel, harsh place when it comes to money, jobs, economies and living period. We fight for survival doing all we can to save for ourselves and our children and theirs too. It’s what mankind is supposed to do to survive and we do it well. But at what expense to our planet, as we deplete its resources, and pollute our waters and pollute the air we breath too. How long do we think planet earth will take being stripped, mined, polluted and destroyed by mankind, before it has no more to give and dies as a husk taking us with it?

My ranting is over now for if I continue on I won’t leave myself room for tomorrows blog in my mind. In the meantime, I have taken up writing as many who read this now know, because you have either read about it here, stopped by my works and tried one, or heard it through other means such as Facebook, MySpace, Myyearbook, etc. I spread it around using this blog of course and hope to sell some short stories I used Amazon Kindle to make into short books. Many of mine are based on real life, and they are about my life and how I grew up. Some are Military in nature and yet to come too, I did some Murder Mysteries also as well as a few romantic stories. So, I can only offer so many here at a time:

“Angie’s Folly” —-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPMGIAC
“My Maria”——-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CS3BTOS
“The House on Phoenix Avenue”—–http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D910XBSXBS

Child Rearing, discipline, and Stories


Lets talk child rearing and what’s wrong in America today, versus what was right in America at one time. When I say this, I say it because I see it in today’s children, being raised by the parents of today and the tears since the 1980s’  

When I grew up you spoke back to a parent you got a smack across the face or smack on the ass and ya learned to behave, Do it today and a cop is called because you hit your kid, that’s bullshit folks.  Sometimes it takes a good smack or swat to fix a child’s attitude, or behavior in a major way. The old rule of  a smack a day wasn’t good either, but sometimes it is necessary to make them realize they did wrong.

When I grew up if you lied you got a mouth full of soap to taste. Today they get away with it boldly and no one says a word to them. Why? I believe in proper punishment for proper crimes so to say. No I do not condone child abuse in any manner, means or way, but there is a time when you have to make a child listen and behave, they have to learn somehow and talking to them as Bill Cosby said in the 1980s, doesn’t always work either. Parents must walk a thin line on any physical punishment whether it be a spank or a smack, not go wild and destroy your child’s mental state for life.

Next, I see tons of advice and articles up on the internet regarding Hyperactive and attention deficit disorder children. I read the articles to find how in today’s society and medical practices how these children are being handled. In my days as a child many were misdiagnosed as emotionally unstable children and institutionalized. Sadly it was wrong than and no one realized what they were doing, so these children got exposed to others who were really emotionally damage and unstable and live with it as a sort of PTSD today. Other I have seen were medicated with drugs like Ritalin and slowly weaned off as they got older, but found out to have never overcome the disorder.  Drugs disguise the symptoms but they don’t remove them folks. and most children born with hyperactivity and attention deficit grown out of it as they get older, their minds and bodies adjust. Of course like any other medical problem, it sometimes take time for the balance to happen in the human mind and body. But the doesn’t mean your child is not normal. it means they more at a faster pace than most and know more than they should about life.

       That said and done, which is one of my pet peeves and rants, I can now move on to my favorite things to do. I will give you a link today to a few of my personal stories i call them because they are based on my real life. I hope some will read and understand, why and how I can say what I did above.

Weather, Murders/ and Stories


       Friday has arrived and that leaves us two more days to June in 2013, time flies indeed. In Connecticut here where I live we have so far lived through a summer of rain, and more rain, I am tempted to build an ark these days, due to it all.

   Immigration Reform seems the ho topic right now in Congress, both Houses. The Senate ran up a bill for it, and of course The House has to approve it also, but will they I doubt it. The Republicans want to be the ones to write the bill for immigration, but they want to do it on their own so Obama and the Democrats can have it to brag on. Stupid shit ya ask me!.

        Lets talk Murders and why there seem to be more and more of them in America, and Why? It seems our society always had murders yes, but the sudden increase in them is unbelievable. Seems every day you turn on CNN, or your local News or look in the paper someone is killing another person why? America’s society in the 1950s, 1960s. and 1970s, was based on and ran well on the spirit of all for one and one for all. We would stop and help a stranger on the side of the road or hurt and not think twice about it.  The 1980s and 1990s we became a society of me, me, and all me, and the hell with you! Sad isn’t it, I think so, but thats life now, and is it any good for the nation or the world, no, yet we still do it. Murderers come in both sexes and from all walks of life it seems, they kill for fun, to make a point, or some other wild and weird reason. Then suddenly they get their televised trial and then they disappear into the prison system forever or to await death sentences. But the reasons for them killing is never really found out, were the mentally unbalanced, were the mad and rageful or something else. No one will know, but we have to blame our own society for it all, don’t we?

       Next, I attached links to my stories on Amazon’s Kindle E-Books and hope some will buy them and help an old veteran who is disabled make some bucks and survive. So Today I will give ya a few more to check out that I write and Published: “The Northern Woods Murders”—-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CGMRXDC

Humankind, The Planet/Story


    Thursday has arrived and the 4th, of July is closer now, as well as what may be the first time one of my daughters comes to visit me at my home. I live each day with the knowledge of not doing everything correct in my younger days, but the divorce I went through had nothing to do with me. It was caused by my ex-wife’s family problems that went back to her father and his bullshit he pulled. Anyway, that is another story in and of itself. Sadly, the only one that could recover did and that is me.

    As June of 2013 rolls towards it’s end, the weather here on the east coast has been more like the weather in Seattle, Washington then Connecticut. They say no such thing as Global Warming well someone is full of shit. It does exist, humankind are the only species on the planet that destroys the atmosphere and land resources we have, to live on it. One day we shall destroy both and have nowhere to run to. Mankind is killing itself, as well as the planet, it doesn’t have unlimited resources to burn and give up anymore than a human body does. Someday, Mankind will realize it, and when they do, I think it will be too late.

I see NFL Stars become murders, I see people in panics over stock markets rising and falling and I see health problems ahead for all too. I see job markets thin and barely moving and money so tight it is being squeezed red from the green it was printed with. Sadly America, needs to turn it all around by exporting more, importing less, changing the game plan and getting creative, if not, it could be the end is near for the Great American Civilization in history, and we may go the route of prior ones.

      My Closing today is a link to my story I wrote; This one is a Murder Mystery with a surprise twist ending: The Project Murders, in Broad-View Acres http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D3QZZU8  I hope some will try it!
