Today is Monday November 8th, the wind is gusting and blowing hard here in Connecticut and snow has hit! Amazingly, Connecticut is getting it’s first snow on November 8th early in the morning. The winds are blowing it around against the window panes of our home. Normal Weather patterns for Connecticut say we don’t get snow till the third week. Well again, like I always say, no one messes with Mother Nature except Father Time and I guess it is now time.

Monday is of course the beginning of a new work week for all who work. traffic will now be all messed up and slowed down due to the inclement weather. People won’t remember to leave earlier and drive slower and accidents will abound I am sure.

Well a closing for now is simple, a little fun goes a long way no matter whom you are. Microsoft invented the KInnect a hands free, body motion video system sensor. If you get one you can have a ball standing with in 6 to 8 feet of your television and moving about to play game and exercise.  It becomes a sensor that can produce a lot of fun and even help one lose weight if need be.

Finally, I am awaiting the last edited Assignment 8 from my Writing Course I took through Long Ridge Writers Group.  The interesting thing about the Course for me is not that you can do it, but that everyone you hand a story or poem or article to, has a different opinion on how it is to be written. Not everyone talks the same, so point blank not everyone can write the same. The biggest part of writing is not finding a story to tell its actually rewriting and revising it to sell. Edit out the bull you don’t use, find a dictionary and spell correctly and in the end make sure your punctuation and grammar are checked. Last but not least if you are writing to sell, hit the subject on the head for who ever you are going to market it to.

Happy Sunday to all!. The weekend has produced as of late Friday evening our new Governor in  Connecticut, Dan Malloy.  Not that it is settled by an good counting of the votes, a investigation should take place as to what really happened in the city of Bridgeport. The fact that a city with 69,000 registered voters only had 21,000 ballots printed leads one to think of some illegal activity having happened. I hope not, but time shall tell, for no one makes this kind of mistake to save money, so what was the real reason?

Next Sunday in many homes across the USA is for church goers and NFL fans. I grew up a fan of the NFL and I would guess I will die one too. Something about watching football on Sundays, is in my soul me thinks. I enjoy a good football game that is close and a competition. Something to drink, some munchies, and two football teams killing each other to win on my big screen TV make sit all seem fun and worth while.

Daylight Savings has hit folks as of Sunday Morning so if you have not turned the clocks back you are off an hour, If you  have congrats, you will be right with the rest of the world.

Closing Comment for a Sunday Morning- Politics has ruled the last couple of months due to Mid Term Elections. Now that they are over and it will begin to calm down I hope, the decisions of the Voters of America will go into effect in January. The sad part is not that the elections were held and decided, but, that the American people think by splitting Congress as they did, it will improve what gets done and how fast.  Sadly that is not going to be the effect folks, mark my words, all we shall get is a gridlocked congress and nothing will get done. Sometimes I wonder if Americans, at least the one born ealy enough to be in their 40s and 50’s heard train when the lord was handing out brains and they took one instead. But that is a problem, when you raise your children by using Television as a baby sitter. These days the Video gamming system or Personal Computer is now the babysitter. I still think parenting needs to go back to the 1960s, where a good cuff upside the head got kids going the right way.

November 5th has arrived for 2010, three days after the Election and Connecticut will finally have it’s Governor if all stands up to Certification by the State. Bridgeport, Connecticut, messed up in the first place by not having enough ballots for it’s 69,000 registered voters. Why a city so big would have only 21,000 ballots for 69,000 registered voters is beyond me. In the end the Democrat Daniel Malloy of Stamford now seems to be the winner. I am sure further investigation  into what happened in Bridgeport, Connecticut, someone messed up severely  for sure and will have to be the fall guy for this. So watch the news I am sure some tome official in the Office of Voter Registration will fall.

Next up, is the end of my Writers Course through a Certified school here in Connecticut. I took the short course and completed the 8 Assignments in a short time. Now the course says it will help you to get at least two items into print and published, but makes no guarantees. Well I wrote and wrote and revised and did as told and got rejected anyway .  It really doesn’t matter who is teaching you, it’s up to the editors period folks. They either like you work or they don’t and it all comes down to space in their publications and if you match what they are using in their magazines or papers.

Now that November is under way and the mid term elections are over, we can all look forward to Turkey Day. A day to celebrate all we have and share it with family and friends. As Thanksgiving approaches, everyone should sit down and pray they live in the United States, because even with all the faults and problems we have it is still the best country on the planet. God Bless America

In Connecticut two men one Governor position and both claim they won, one by 2,000 votes the other by 11,000 votes. The fact of the matter will only be served when the votes are certified by the State itself. Sadly mistakes like lack of ballots by a city the size of Bridgeport, Connecticut should also be investigated. Why would a city so big only print so little ballots? Good question is you ask me! But my final answer to this whole Governor fight/ debate or discussion, or decision is simple, both of these candidates should disappear. Two men who attacked one another viciously in ads, then denied any of what was slung against them. So who is the better man then, well in my opinion neither of the above would have been right. But since we have to have a person in office in January of 2011, I suspect that the State will certify one by Friday.

The next hangover from this election is in Washington. Our country decided to split the government between the two parties by giving the House to the Republicans and the Senate to the Democrats. What many forget and do not understand is by splitting it this way you give Congress a perfect stance and position to gridlock the country. Gridlock will indeed hit Washington in January of 2011, and when it does the economy will stall in it’s recovery and job creation will also.  Many Americans are out of work our unemployment numbers range from nine percent up to close to 12 percent in certain areas. Sadly no manufacturing has been created, and the blue collar workers in this country are floundering without work.

In closing if America continues to ship jobs overseas, fails to complete with other countries on the world market and can’t find it’s own manufacturing base, well, we shall quickly fall and end up not much better off then many so called third world countries.  Wake up America! The world spins daily, people move ahead, countries are not only catching up but surpassing us, Find a way and do it quickly or face the possibility that we may dig ourselves a hole by being too slow and never be able to climb back out again.

The American People voted on November 2nd, 2010. They decided the Republicans can control the house and gave them gains even in the Senate. By doing so The American people choose what will happen next. Do they also understand the the economy will not recover now for at least two more years and the job market will continue to suck!. I hope so, because what the American people will face now if GRIDLOCK!. The Republicans will block anything the democrats try to get thru and the vice versa also. Sadly, America is in a shape if disrepair and damaged as we go forward. Can America overcome what it has done? Time shall tell  that’s for sure!

Gridlock will hit Washington and the Congress for sure in January 2011 and the American people shot themselves in their own foot!

                              The Silent Searcher

                          She sits in silence and so shy,

                          Awaiting that one that will hold her close,

                          Aching to serve one Dom who cares,

                          Who wants her most,

                           And who, she will see eye to eye with.

                           Her silence speaks volumes of unspoken thoughts,

                           It tells of her self pride and self esteem,

                           Of what she looks for,

                           And of what she does dream.

                           Her aloneness speaks of her taste and style,

                           Of her patience and intelligence,

                           Her strength that comes from the inner her,

                           And make no mistake, it makes her very special,

                            Of that I am sure!.

                            She chooses slowly who she is with,

                            Who she may want to be with and serve,

                            How she thinks and searches for just the right one,

                            So she can be happy, content, and secure.

                            Seeking and finding is not easy, nor is it a game,

                            It is not just grab and go,

                            For more then kinks and desires and wants and needs must be met,

                            She needs the love, respect, and caring,

                            For which she knows she deserves,

                            And that has not been found yet.

                            A beautiful soul she has, filled with love and respect and loyality,

                            One so intelligent with a sense of humor and self is what she is,

                             Who seeks to be appreciated and cared for and wanted,

                             Because she is missing it in real life,

                             For she is someone’s girlfriend, mother and wife,

                             And is missing, an important part of her life.

                             All she seeks is one to fulfill those needs,

                             To care for her, to love her, to respect her,

                             To give her what she does not have at home,

                             For we all know how it is to be different,

                             And to feel so alone!.

America will choose today what path they wish to follow in this election. If they choose to turn seats in Congress over to the Republicans, then they are asking for a gridlock in Washington, that will do nothing for American jobs or the economy. It will just give some power back to the Republicans , just enough to lock up everything for two more years at least. It would be silly to do so, but the current mood in the country is Obama promised to lower the unemployment numbers and create jobs so we are going to let the other side in and see how they do. Bull Shit Really!

I would like to remind any and all who read this here and now, it took the republicans 8 years to dig this hole we are in and you have only given the democrats 2 years to try to dig us out of it? So is that is the way people are going to vote and make it go, well your not asking for help, your asking for magic.

Bush and Cheney took 8 years to bury the American Economy and destroy it. They gave cash back to the rich, and took from the middle class and lower class citizens. Bush shipped more jobs out of the country then any other president in History! he gave to his cronies and pals control for 8 years. And you want one man to change 8 years of work in a two year period and not give Obama the support he need to  do it? Sad indded!

If the republicans do get control of the house and the senate gridlock will only be worse and nothing at all will be accomplished in Washington. Sadly the American people may just do this to theirselves, because ethey have a lack of logic and understanding of the way it really works.

So In closing on this Election Day 2010, I voted and did what I thought was right, shouldn’t You? Remember if you don’t vote and get your voice heard, don’t complain when things get worse, cause you didn’t take part!

Vote folks

Election 2010 is tomorrow and I think Americans have to make a choice. If we turn over The House and The Senate then we take away any possibility of President Obama finishing anything he started. So, what I think is we should give him his full four years to complete what he said he would. Yes I know the job market sucks, but in the end, it wasn’t Obama who made that problem it was indeed Bush and The Republicans. So when you pull that lever think of the following for me, who lost your jobs in the first place for you and shipped them over seas? And who took your budget and made it in the red, the Democrats or Republicans? If you answer The Republicans then give Obama a chance in his first 4 years to turn around what BUsh and his Party did in 8 years. Remember Clinton left the country millions in the black, Bush left it in the red in the trillions!.

Why Must the Days End?

           Why do the days have to end?

           Why do the nights have to come?

            The Darkness rolls in,

           Night reminding me,

           Of, my past, my sin.

           I didn’t know what you wanted or needed,

           You refused to say,

           So now I wonder and think,

           All night and through the day.

          I go thru life, a statement reverberating in my mind,

          It’s one I carry with me,

          And shall for all time.

          My father, laid dying on his bed you see,

          And these are the words he said to me:

          My son he said my days have come and gone,

          I shall leave you before for long.

          But live you life to the fullest and enjoy,

          Do today what you love the most,

          Enjoy life to the fullest, and love those around you the deepest,

          For though I be gone and you may cry,

          Please remember these words, I give you to keep and hold.

          Live your life with honesty and truth,

          Be happy, be true, be honest and be bold.

          As I leave you now he said:

          I shall be gone and you will cry,

          But remember this is not really goodbye.

          We are all put here for a purpose, yes a plan.

          When we fulfill that purpose our time has come,

           And our life is done, and I am just a man.

           The days will pass, the weeks will come and go,

           The weeks, will turn to months, the months to years,

           And over time,  you will, have cried all of your tears.

           But live your life for each day you are here,

           For the calendar will continue to roll,

           Time will pass before you know,

            In the end my son,

            We all eventually do what we have been put here for,

             And our time is done.

            Then he rolled his head, in his bed,

            The vomit came, his eyes rolled back in his head,

            And peacefully, and in silence he was dead.

            I remember that day oh so well,

            I remember the fishing trips, the pizzas, the laughter and the tears,

            And have carried his words, with me and lived them for all my years.

 The Dare 

  I dream of her night and day,

  Her fragrance seeps in to my being,

  Her thoughts and words come back to me,

  How did this happen, from whence did she come,

  A surprise a wonder is what she may be,

  But the Lord, brought her here to me.

 Each day and night, through happiness and sadness and fright,

 I remember her words, her thoughts, her looks, her fragrance,

 They are now a part of me,

 A part she doesn’t notice or really see.

 These dreams come at night and during the day,

 They reoccur, and keep me aware,

 That out there she is, missing me as I do her,

Why neither of us can ever be sure.

Her smile, her touch,

They mean so much ,

Can she know what they really mean to me,

Is this something she can see?

I may never know,

For she darts through my life, like a mystical light,

They shinning and then gone,

As I watch and wonder and hope and ponder,

Whether she shall ever notice me or care?

Should I ask, should I speak, should I say I care,

I hesitate, in confusion and in fear,

Will I ever take the chance and say a word,

Should I, Could I, Do I Dare?
