Sorry, I can't close Firefox as I have a download at 87% and am not going to stop it. Spybot can just go search and destroy for a while, while I wile away the afternoon. I'm on the new machine and I'm in love. I'm also going back to the past and the beginning to illustrate how it's come full circle

Awed By the Outreaching from Odd Strangers

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

That's meant as a hell yes, compliment. There are good people, kind people left on this world evil is trying to destroy. Not as long as they're around. I haven't ever experienced anything like what has happened to me since the first day I set self in Seattle. I had a most excellent day today. I had my mind blown so hard I heard dead people. The past chatters in Hardcore Twang from the truly cool station, KEXP. I feel very, very young hearing this.

Klonopin; The Mercedes Benzo

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I had no idea that Klonopin was addictive, extremely hard to withdraw from and that it was becoming the street drug of choice by teens all over America. Dubbed K-Pin, I read it sells for 5 to 10 bucks a pill on the streets. I am shocked! No wonder the Dr. I saw yesterday was so hesitant to prescribe it for me, but after seeing I have to been seen in a neurology clinic in a few weeks and had papers from the neurologist I have already seen, I got 14 of 1/4 the dose I'd taken for 14 years.

Outrage Over Decision to Shelve Madeleine McCann Case

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Of course the mainstream media has been heralding the closing of the case, but it's a different story in British and Portuguese blogs and comments in forums. I don't get it, either. Many have written that political pressure and foreign connections link the case to the socialist parties of both England and Portugal. That could be very true. A frequent question asks why Gordon Brown got involved. I've wondered that, too.

Soy What?

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I had to prove to both myself and a friend that Soy or Soya isn't all it's cracked up to be. We've both been vegetarians for years and read labels on products very carefully. One good thing about Seattle is all the vegan and vegetarian food available. I'd find something that looked good, only to find it contained Soy. My friend was baffled by this and I explained that it prevented the absorption of the thyroid replacement medicine I have to take because my thyroid was removed years ago.

My First Meeting With A Seattle Blogger

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I've been swapping emails with "r@d@r"and commenting on his blog, ex-liontamer for several years when I lived in Portugal. I was surprised to find he lives in Seattle, so yesterday I braved it and went to meet him. I've never done anything like this before and neither has he. What a trip! He's very cool, with a sense of humor I can understand.

It's Time to Go Back To California

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

While Seattle is a great city, it's also very conservative which I find disconcerting. I've had fun walking around drooling at shops, the best is Synapse360 in Pioneer Square and a music shop that had a dobro-looking ukulele in the window. Everything is so expensive it's crazy. Look, don't touch unless you're one of the rich. I don't like the rich as a rule.

Trying to Settle in Seattle

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Bear with me as I attempt to get around the writer's block. It may take several times and I could easily get lost. Just like I could here. This city is huge! It has drastically changed since the last time I was here. I'm staying in what a lot of people think is the ghetto, but they've never seen a real ghetto I guess, because this area is quite charming and ethnically diverse.

Both Happy and Sad to Leave Silverstrand and California

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

This place is insane. I can hardly wait to leave for Seattle tomorrow, but that also means being away from my family, hence the sadness. The pace is too fast, the place too violent, too much alcohol, too many skinheads. It was fun at first but as the days go by, I find it anything but. I have no idea what the future holds, what I'll find in Seattle, but it has to be better than here.

The Day After the 4th on Silverstrand

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

That old song, "I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter" is happening right here, right now as I finally figured out how I could write since Macs don't have notebook like PCs. "Stickies" somehow vanished, and I was going about duh until I wrote someone an email.

Mac My Itch Up

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I'm so lost. I've switched locations where I'm staying and I'm using a Mac. I just don't get it, it's so foreign I doubt I'll ever get used to it, just as I can't get used to things in California.

Scoffing at Scofflaws and the 4th of JewelEye

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT

The word "scofflaws" has been popping up, cracking me up, because I consider it an archaic word that is used by few people who are usally putting on airs. I just saw it on a Ventura County online news site in relation to people who may use illegal fireworks Friday.

Stranded and Digging It

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I don't have a clue as to where to begin describing the spin I'm in, every day it twirls faster, every day and night, new disaster if viewed in that vein. I feel like I'm in a for real movie. All that's happening couldn't be written. No way. It couldn't be cast better. I just flashed on something, something big.

What A Long Strange Trip

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

I've finally got to a computer, life in California is insane. The prices of everything have shocked me, but it's been a long time since I was here. I just wanted to get an entry in, I'm too hot, too tired and sunburned to write anything of substance.

A Temporary Goodbye

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Update..june.16 I..made..it..It's..too..hard..to..write..with..no..spacebar..I..have..many..reports..in.the..wild..wings.GGElvis..killed..it....Later...B I'm leaving this country, Friday the 13th no less, and having to go back to the states. It's the only choice I have. It's no secret I don't like America, but the thoughts of starting a new life, beginning to live again, to be with my family, to hear waves instead of traffic and sirens, to feel the water pull against my feet in wet sand, eating Mexican food, shopping at big health food stores, going to yard sales, thrift stores, being able to drive again -- all these things are going to save me. They may seem like small things, but after the life I've endured here, they're huge.
