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

“Women are in Charge!”—-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CLXBS4Q

“Dark Secrets Overcome”——–http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJR1OKG

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!

 

 

Hump Day, Time, Wars, Stories


      Hump day is here and it seems as my step-father said many years ago, Seconds turn into Minutes, Minutes into Hours, Hours into Days,Days into Months and Months into Years as we age and carry on whatever mission we were put on earth to do. Yes I know it doesn’t sound right to some who believe in Religion but the facts can not be argued, we come and go each at different periods of time, don’t we.

       Next subject pain, killing, wars, murders and more. can someone please tell me why human being are so violent, hateful and such killers. Is it the social world of America or the whole world that creates these people? And how did we stop it, we need some great minds to solve it.

       OK, my rants are done and for a rave or two I would like to give you a link to stories I wrote and published on Amazon.s Kindle E- Books. The stories and poem I have done, range in types from Murder Mysteries, to Poems, to Love Stories , so I cover a large spectrum of works. And before you judge me or my works, remember a few things. 1)0 I am 57 and retired. 2) I am a Disabled American veteran with six bad discs, PTSD and Sleep Apnea.  So, my spelling is not always correct, but understandable and I try to tell stories, in the order the events happen I have done, Fiction and Non-Fiction too. So, a few links for all to check out:

June, The 4th on it’s Way, Meaning


     June is running by quickly this year and we are now getting closer to summer’s biggest Holiday, The Fourth of July, in America. The skies will light up all over the place as fireworks go off, and people gather to party outside in the hot weather and night. Children will get to stay up a bit later to see the skies light up, parents will show the children the sky and smile and laugh with them. God Bless America!!!  But do any of the children today understand what the celebration is really about, do they know America fought to be independent and won? Do they understand what our Founding Fathers wrote when they gave us the COnstitution and the Bill of Rights? Do they know who George Washington was, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and Patrick Henry and Paul Revere and Ben Franklin were? If not parents it is a day to teach and let them understand why they live in the land of the free and home of the brave!

To go along with the Holiday and time of year we are in I give so warnings, about fires, the dangers of swimming, grills, and being careful when doing all of the above. Try to watch one another and keep safe through it all.

     Final for the day; I wrote a short story and posted it as a little book on Amazon’s Kindle E-Books which is appropriate for the 4th of July Holiday Celebration;“National Guard Hereos”—-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CIH88HU It’s all about two Veterans who served in Vietnam, suffered their PTSD, hid it and showed it one night at an Armory and explained it. Welcome to it, I hope you understand and like it!

 

 

 

 

Random Thoughts for Monday!


     Monday has been a bad day for the markets as it drops another 117 points today, the economy has lost a lot of money in the last week or so. Hopefully it will turn around for all and make the dollar worth more. Economically the US is doing ok, it is not blasting through the roof nor is going great guns. If ya ask me we run around a B for a Grade in my book.

As tight as the economy exists in the USA, it will be worst for other nations around the world. China is hurting, Europe is going down slowly and hurting and all of us are connected and can be driven or dragged down together it is all interconnected in the world.

Next Subject Justice in America is become warped and unreal in nature. O.J. Simpson got away with murder in my opinion, Casey Anthony  got away with whatever happened to poor Callie, Finally a charge stuck in the Jodi Areas case. So what is wrong with American Justice these days, well I can tell you one thing, lawyers and experts in fields like DNA are getting way too technical for the average juror. You can’t get too technical or you lose the average person who will man a jury. You need to simplify the data with simple statements, like it is one in a billion chance it is someone else who did it. That said next?

Next subject folks, I am hearing some decent comments regarding my latest writing work. My Dark Secrets Overcome, is being read and i am told it is a pretty good story as a non-fiction story goes. It covers the years from 1978 to present and family matters that happened regarding sexual abuse, and crimes and false accusations and recover from them. And the end results as it sits today.

I made some edits to it online on Amazon- so as soon as it is available again I will repost the link to it.

End Wars,Build Family/And Learn from Past Mistakes


      Sunday has arrived once more and life seems to go on, but the world is cruel to too many in it. At least the societies that are out here are killing each other off for what reasons I know not. I tire of Wars, I tire of hearing of killings and deaths left and right, it all depresses me big time. Why can’t mankind learn to compromise to survive and get along? Sadly mankind has been killing itself off slowly since the day of its creation, we believe we are each of us better than those who came before us, and it is not always true folks!

From an American‘s point of view, we didn’t belong in Korea, we didn’t belong in Vietnam, we didn’t belong in Iraq, or Afghanistan and now we do not belong in Syria either. Why do we get involved, simple we have to prove we are the powerhouse or strong country to watch out for and lead right? Wrong, I say to our government and to the american people. I ask that you look more closely at taking care of America and Americans first before you go fighting someone else’s argument, realize that if you took all the money for weapons, supplies, transportation of troops and weapons back and put it back into the American Economy we would be much better off than fighting wars we can’t win! Ok That is  my Rant for the day, and believe me if I had a million dollars I would use it to stop wars on earth!

Next subject, Family, Family women and gentlemen is not always who you were born next in line to, or who you grew up with for many of us. My case is simple, I grew up running from house to house with surrogate parents instead of my own caring for me. At least on an emotional basis, I had surrogate parents in many places who helped me learn life and peace. Sadly our family units are not always the best and most stable unit to grow up in, so we look for replacements.

One more thing today to put out there, I write because I have lived a life of a mixture of turmoil, pain and hope and recovery. I write of true loves, true pains, and true recoveries. Every once in awhile I throw a bit of fiction and most of the time non-fiction out there. Most of what I have written and now published on Amazon’s Kindle E-books is based on truth, verbaten from my mind and mouth to yours, to learn from and read and laugh some at. My tears, fears, years, loves and military stories will be released as I go along I am sure, each intense yet readable in their own right I hope. 

I did a short  period of time in the Army, and was never happy with my position or job there. I was young and didn’t last and it was not the Army’s fault but mine. From there I went on to The Army National Guard here in Connecticut and learned responsibility, duty, commitment from Veterans who served in wars across the globe. Then I went on to the Navy, where I served until I could not anymore, due to spinal injuries. The point being service won’t hurt anyone who wants to do it, I recommend it to all young folks. Discipline, education and honest work go a long way in the world.

The End of today’s blog is my Newest Book I put on Amazon’s Kindle E-Books; When you read it if you do, and believe me I hope some do, please remember it is real, it happened and it shows the dangers of not knowing who you may marry, what their past may be, or what happened to them before you met them. I leave you today with the link for the Little Book I wrote:
