As Seen on TV

Ok. Every person with a tv has seen the commercials for the new
gadget of the day.
Back in my childhood I remember the 'Ronco" products like the record
vac, and the thing that scrambled eggs in their shells. Today it's the
Sham wow and the spacebags.


My question is this, its confession time, Have you ever

Savor or Devour

Do you Savor life or do you devour life?


Do you find that when it comes to your time off you like to drink it in slowly


and be in some peaceful state, calm and recharging, or get as much done


as you can and enjoy the satisfaction of accomplishing?


Do you eat your food slowly, and enjoy every nuance of flavor, or do you

Wookies gone wild!

Completely unrelated to the vampire universe...but one of my favourite train wrecks of the past 30 years has to be The Star Wars Holiday Special, a TV special that aired only once on CBS in 1978.  For those who have seen it, and haven't scratched their eyes out, there's an interesting

Has Halloween become too commercialized?

Panelists discuss whether Halloween candy and costumes have distracted us from the "real" meaning of Halloween: placating demons to ensure a bountiful harvest.  Another gem from one of my favourite sites, The Onion.

Ugh...election day

Today in the Great White North is federal election day, a day that I never look forward to.  Maybe it's just me, but over the past decade or so, I've been less and less inspired to vote.   I have yet to be able to say that any party leader seems to have my best interests in mind...there seems to be so little positive coming out of any of the major parties.

How has it been so far?

If you got together with someone your same age and both of you began thinking about where you are in life and all that has passed so far, what would you say?


Has life been what you thought it would be like?  Is being an Adult or teenager or parent what you thought it was? Do you feel like you figured you would at your age?

Over used words

Someone once told me that if you use a word flippantly, or without regard, it will lose it's power. That is the case for some slang  or profanity that simply fails to shock anyone anymore, or for other things as well.

Blown

The cold rushes in
and knocks me from
my steady climb
and then I fall
further then ever.
There used to be a
safety net called
love, but that net
has turned to dust
and was blown as
was my strength
before and also as
was my wisdom of
long-past years,
blown from my grip
and out of my last
reach for you too.
Blown from my hope
and my love, blown
so far away just
like I'm blown out
of any's reach and
everyone's grace.

Cold as ice

Cold as ice, thou breath doth feel,


Skin ablaze in firey hell,


Mine heart crushed beyond repair.


 


Speak not the memories of past ages,


think not the cold caress of teeth to flesh,


but think always of my love for thee, tortureous.


 


Love not the way I think you dear,


nor of the way I hold you near,

Chapter 30

Silently the two men faced each other. Then Ernest hissed:


"Thief!"


Reginald shrugged his shoulders.


"Vampire!"


"So Ethel has infected you with her absurd fancies! Poor boy! I am afraid.... I have been wanting to tell you for some time.... But I think... We have reached the parting of our road!"
