Get Out

Get out today, it's a great day outside again. I went out yesterday and enjoyed a great afternoon of sun and fun; it was good for me. We've had so much winter weather lately, you may have wondered if the sun would ever come out again.

Well it's here and enjoy it! Tomorrow is back to the old grindstone at work.

Tip of the day: GO GET SOMEONE YOU KNOW OUT OF THE HOUSE AND TAKE THEM WITH YOU TODAY; IT'S MORE FUN TO ENJOY THE SUN WITH SOME COMPANY!

You Ready for the Sunshine

Ready or not, it's here today; a bright beautiful sunny day! Get out and enjoy it. Soak up as much as you can; the sun is a great energy booster and promotes a healthy body.

Tip of the day: SUN IS TO THE BODY LIKE WATER IS TO A FISH, WITHOUT THEM, NEITHER COULD SURVIVE!

Hey

It's Friday, thank God! I'm ready for the weekend and some down time; maybe I'll take in a movie with my significant other, he's had a long week as well.

What are your weekend plans?

Tip of the day: ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND TO THE FULLEST, YOU DESERVE IT!

Going Forward

I realize what my slowdown in the progress of my book is attributed to. The recent chapters have really brought back memories of some difficult times in my life that I felt I'd recovered from. It appears my shell wasn't hard enough; the memories are still taking a toll on my emotions more than ever imagined.

Though difficult, I'm continuing on no matter what and feel I'll only become a stronger individual by completing my book.

Tip of the day: SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT!

Writer's Block

I'm experiencing writer's block at the moment. At a point in my book where I'm nearing completion, but I'm stuck at a stand still. Maybe it's because I'm too concerned about making sure I'm ending it properly or something like that.

Hopefully I'll be able to get past this soon.

Tip of the day: DO YOUR BEST, THAT'S ALL ANYONE CAN EXPECT, EVEN YOU!

Getting Closer

Getting so close to finishing my book I can see the end. It's been an extremely long process that's had its ups and downs.

You'll see the end result once the publishing process is complete.

Tip of the day: GETTING CLOSE IS GREAT, BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH; YOU MUST GO TO COMPLETION TO REAP THE TRUE BENEFITS!

Cold Day in Oklahoma City

It's cold today. Need to warm up so I can get creative and get some work accomplished on my book today.

It's nearing completion and these last couple of chapters are proving somewhat a challenge.

Tip of the day: LIFE IS FULL OF CHALLENGES, IT'S THOSE OF US WHO RISE TO THE OCCASION THAT WILL REAP THE BENEFITS!

Olympic Mania

What about the Russian skater! He flat out lost the gold for no reason other than he wasn't as good as the American; it's as simple as that. His sportsmanship was terrible.

What do you think?

Tip of the day: BE GRACIOUS IF YOU DON'T ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP, IT'S THOSE TIMES OTHERS REALLY SEE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE!

Book Progress

Hey everyone. Want to have some fun? I'm starting a contest to help me with my illustrations for the book. If interested let me hear from you. There're so many subjects in the book I want to illustrate with drawings I need some help in picking out which ones I'll include in my book.

Let me hear from you and I'll give you some of the ones I'm considering and then you can help me come up with the right illustration for the various subject matters.

It can be a lot of fun and you'll get some recognition along the way.

Tip of the day: JUMP RIGHT IN AND BE A PART OF SOMETHING; WHO KNOWS, IT COULD LEAD TO AN INTERESTING AND MEMORABLE PERIOD IN YOUR LIFE!

Progress

I made a lot of progress yesterday on my book. Most of the progress was on a chapter dealing with a lot of hurt feelings from the way certain family members were treating me throughout many ordeals.

It was difficult working on the chapter because it brought back many unpleasant memories.

Tip of the Day: SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LET GO OF THE HURT, IF YOU DON'T ONE MAY NEVER HEAL PROPERLY!

Time for a Change

You know I started this blog with the intention of promoting my book about to get published. I'm about 80% finished with the manuscript and can't wait for the finished product to come out. It'll probably be the first book of its' kind dealing with an individuals realization of his difference virtually from the beginning of existence and how that realization was dealt with throughout his life.

It's a book to benefit and inform everyone, gay or straight, and a book that will entertain and entice the reader to continue reading to the end. It's a book that will leave one with wanting more and I've built into the book an opportunity for upcoming sequels.

I've kind of strayed away from my book in this blog and am going to again make it the subject of most postings.

Tip of the day: WHEN ONE STRAYS FROM THE COURSE, THERE'S USUALLY A PURPOSE; GETTING BACK ON COURSE IS SOMEWHAT A CHALLENGE, BUT WORTH THE EFFORT!

New Work Week

I felt like staying in bed this morning; it's very cold outside and snuggling in bed with my significant other and our dog sure sounded great, but I didn't do it. I went to work like a good employee should; oh well, maybe the next cold day I'll just do it.

Tip of the day: SOMETIMES JUST DOING SOMETHING AT THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT CAN BE GOOD FOR YOU; I NEED TO TAKE MY OWN ADVICE AND TRY IT MORE OFTEN!

Tip of the day: VALENTINE'S DAY COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR; DON'T LET THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW SOMEONE YOUR LOVE PASS YOU BY!

Sunny Saturday

We have sun today. I was beginning to wonder if it'd ever show itself again. I'm going to spend some time outdoors today to take in the sun and take my dog for a long walk.

Get out today and do something fun. Don't forget while you're out to get your significant other something special for Valentine's day.

Great Day

Hey everyone, it's a great day. Make the most of your day. I know the following tip is somewhat the same as the other day, but it's so important to make the most out of every day and this tip is just another way of reminding you. Making the most out of every day can mean many different things. If you need to do nothing that day it's ok every now and then, you probably have a good reason and deserve a day of rest, just make the most out of your day of rest; if you want to get a lot accomplished and stay busy all day, that's great too, take advantage of the moment. Each day is yours to do as you please!

Tip of the day: MAKING THE MOST OUT OF EACH DAY WILL ONLY MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF; THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY DAYS IN YOUR LIFE SPAN, ONCE THE DAY IS OVER, IT'S GONE FOREVER!

Special Tip of the Day

I don't have anything to share with you today other than my tip of the day and today it's a special one.

Special tip of the day: ALWAYS KNOW YOU ARE AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INDIVIDUAL BOTH TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS, NEVER THINK LESS OF YOURSELF BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T AND HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOU; FOLLOW HIS PLAN IN YOUR HEART, MIND, AND SOUL AND YOU'LL BE REWARDED. ALWAYS REMEMBER, LIVING LIFE GOD'S WAY WILL BE LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST!

Nice Day

Not only is the sun shining, but it'd also be a good day to do something nice for someone you know; someone who may need a little lift in their life.

Tip of the day: DOING FOR OTHERS IS AS MUCH OF A GIFT AS RECEIVING FROM OTHERS!

The Day After

I bet most of you would've enjoyed being off today to rest up from the Super Bowl. Did your team win? Mine did.

Don't worry if you don't get much done today other than rehash the game, that's what today is for.

Tip of the day: ENJOY YOUR DAY NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, YOU MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY IT AS YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO RECAPTURE THE DAY!

Lazy Day

It's Sunday and I'm being lazy today. Slept late and missed church.

May go look at a couple of open houses today, don't know. I'm just going to do whatever I feel like doing.

Tip of the day: INDECISIVENESS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BAD THING, UNLESS IT'S A DAILY OCCURRENCE AND RULES YOUR LIFE!

It disappeared, the sun disappeared today. Yesterday it was bright and sunny and today it's cloudy and dreary.

Going downtown to look at the Brownstones again; getting real serious about possibly purchasing one of them.

Drizzly Day

I hate days like this when you need your windshield wipers but you can't adjust the speed to match the fall of the drizzle. It's like you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Anyway, how is everyone today?

Tip of the day: GO THROUGH YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND CLEAN OUT THE MOLD, YOU'LL BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH FRESHER EVERYTHING IN THERE WILL APPEAR AND TASTE!

Change of Title

I made a huge decision within the past 24 hours; I've decided to change the title of my book before it goes to publication.

Other than that, the past 24 hours have been fairly normal.

Tip of the day: NO MATTER WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS, IT DOES MATTER TO SOME!
