My Morning Coffee (Or Yerba Mate, Mind You) 9:38 AM
By God, I love a man with courage! I love a man with guts enough to say, "Maybe I am the last man standing. Maybe I am the last man at my post. But I am going to shoot the Enemy till I am out of bullets, then I am going to stab him till my bayonet breaks off in his heart, and then I'm going to bite him till I haven't got any teeth left." That's the kind of guts you need to win this war. May God help you to have the courage of heart to fight to the last man!—General George S. Patton (speaking from beyond) (ML 3558:83; GN 1146)

What The Future Holds 5:29 PM
It may be of interest to you to know a little about the internal workings of this website and what plans are laid out for it's future. This is not a comprehensive list, just a few projects of interest.
Firstly, I plan to upgrade this website to it's own domain and private hosting. I don't know what I'll do about the design; suffice it to say that I'm no webdesigner and it'll be pretty simple or I'll just borrow a pre-designed template.
As for my writing, I'm working on two allegorical short stories, and one narrative poem. I can't say when these will be released, as I'm researching and studying different aspects of short story composition and poetry in order to make these worth your while.
In explaining my artistic endeavors, I am reminded of a peculiar habit of a small child in my home. She waddles around collecting all sorts of objects, primarily toy dishes, and attempts to hold them all without dropping a single one. If an object is to fall from her chubby little fingers, she will drop all her other objects to the ground in frustration and then struggle to retrieve them. You see, I'm all too prone to treat my projects the same way she treats her toys.
As a side project I'm also working on writing songs for my band (we really don't have a name, but I'm calling us Five Virgins) which consists of me on guitar, some bass, and vocals (I shudder at the thought, since I can't stay on KIiiiIIIEEEee!!) and Jean "Jack" Holl on drums. So far I've got three unfinished songs, "S.O.S.", "Darkness Falls", and "Unrequited", plus other riffs and melodies I need to develop.
Friends, keep your fingers crossed. Something good has got to come out of all this.

As the title so succinctly states, this post has something to do with the number 19. Can you guess what it is?
It involves colorful handmade cards created by a group of adorable children. It includes lots of hugs, appreciative words and gestures, and a general warm feeling of knowing that you're loved and noticed on this most favored of days.
It also involves cake and ice cream.
I could never thank You, and you, and you, and all my other "yous" enough. You all make life worth living. There's 19 years and counting, and by God's grace, I'll live them all for You (and you).

Sh...not-so-nice ditty 7:57 PM
I've been humming this all day. You can say you saw it here first.
"Hey Na Na" said the little rat,
As he threw a little fit.
"Hey Na Na" said the bigger cat,
As he ate the little sh...muck!
It's terrible, I know. I need to stay away from that "creative" side of my mind.

A subtle prelude 8:39 AM
There's just something about Wednesdays.
They always make me feel a little older.
