The Next Right Thing
If AA has taught me any one thing it is to do the next right thing. Put one foot in front of the other, pick up that piece of trash and toss it in the garbage, pay this bill or be to work on time. So I trudge along, for the most part, doing the next right thing that may come across my path. I would think this would lead me to a life of…

Thankful
I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I successfully completed one year of school, managed to make the honor roll as well. I hit 12 years of sobriety in May (had a final exam on my AA birthday too). I moved back to DC, found a few jobs a few friends and finally got a permanent job in Takoma Park. I have only the best of friends: Pat, Brenda, Suzanne, Mark, Robert,…

So
If you’ve ever worked with me in the past, you know how I get when I get pissed off or malcontented… I hush up, quiet down, frown…. nothing gets me out of that but me. So, this is not a “healthy” way to do this, and I should find another way to take care of these feelings.

Power Games
I don’t play games at a job, I have no interest in advancing my career. Usually I am very content in whatever job I may have. However, if you want my advice Tuesday then you have to expect it on Wednesday when I offer it.I also don’t play word games. When I say “me” or “I” it doesn’t mean I’m making threatening gestures, nor does it mean I’ve made universal decisions. I cannot be a…

Elton John in Concert
I spent 2 1/2 hours listening to Elton John play oldies and the new stuff in the Hall at Atlantic City. When he first walked onto the stage tears came to my eyes; lets face it this man is a legend in any age bracket. The songs he played of yesteryear, were the ones you always expect to hear; From Bennie and the Jets to the Bitch is Back. The Captain and the Kid was…

Money and Morales
Lets sit and think about how much money is donated to the people who want to enforce morale principles of the Religious Right and Republicans… Millions if not Billions of dollars given to organizations that are morally superior to the rest of the nation. Meet some of the finer examples of church and state: Tom Foley (text messaging teen agers explicit content) Father Oliver O’Grady (pedophile that the church moved from town to town when…

Wrong Message… again
OK, so I fail to see why recent happenings ( Amish Incident, Wisconsin Principal, Colorado Sexual Assualt ) are about school violence and not about Gun Control Laws. Someone explain to me how children managed to get guns to kill a principal. Or how crazy people that are obviously in need of help, managed to get a gun to kill and or rape girls in classrooms. Mr. President (A.K.A. Monkey Boy), this isn’t about school…

Politicians in hind sight…
The first election of George W. Bush (if you can call a court decision an election), filled my very soul with a fear I could not describe at the time. I remember a discussion with my Ma at the time, and she felt pretty much the same way, an overall fear of the future if he would have won. Sadly, as you all know, he did “win” the legal battle. As I listen now to…

Why I don't Vote for Primary Elections
I find it to be a waste of time… Lets face it, these candidates have been bombarding the public for months now with pamphlets, ads, volunteers and news stories. We knew months ago who would win, and barring a last minute scandal that’s exactly what always happens. However, now they plan to sick more of their volunteers more of their ads… more of the mudslinging up to the date of the election, the real one…
