Giving thanks

     Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, D-generation X proudly brings to you, the bloggy blog of bloggy goodness, and it's filled with plenty of delicious morsels of yummy thoughts, feelings and words.

     Today is Thanksgiving day 2012, and I've seen many people doing a "countdown" of sorts, til Thanksgiving, and my homie dawgy dawg Steve wrote a blog and well, I was kinda thinking I'd do the same.

     First and foremost, I'm thankful for my freedom, brought to me by the US service men and women, who, lay their lives on the line every single day.

      I'm thankful for my family. My mom who for no reason whatsoever still believes I can do anything, and so, I believe I can do anything(still trying to fly without a plane), my brother who still looks up to me like I'm something special and my sister who is still learning the difference between what is right and what is easy. My niece who grows every day it seems, and has the innocence of childhood in her eyes. My soon to be sister-in-law who offers me good conversation when no one else is available, keeping me sane since losing my job.

     When I was young, and I wished that I had an older brother, which would be impossible, I could never have known that my wish would be granted in the form of the best and truest friend that I have ever had. Steve came into my life when my life wasn't the most, erm...coherent, wasn't the best, I had just lost the girl that I had thought was the love of my life, and we bonded over time, and trips to Virginia.

     I'm thankful for my friends, the old and the new. I've met a few great people over the last year and while we don't always get to talk a lot, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

     I'm thankful for my health. I'm slowly getting better in everything, and while it might not be enough for some people, it's good enough for me.

     I'm thankful for my animal friends, even though some of them can be pains, they love me unconditionally, and that's all that matters.

     I'm thankful for technology, without it, I wouldn't be able to connect with new and exciting people, or the people who I've known forever.

     I'm thankful for life. This great and wonderful roller coaster, filled with good experiences, bad ones, chaos and order, without it all, life would cease to be, and we can't have that.

     I just want to wrap this up by saying, thank you for reading, and to those I know, I love you all. My life is brighter and better because of each and every one of you.

     And as always, IF you're NOT DOWN WITH THAT, WE'VE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA!
Happy THANKSGIVING!

Ghost Hunting.....

    Ok, ok, so I'm a day late and a dollar short so sue me..no please don't...anyway I promised a debut to a regular "blog" yesterday and obviously I didn't get it done in time..There's a surprise right.. Alright on with the show babay!!

                                           Rumbling Ranting
    
      Just because today is the first I'm going to let you know what each section is about. This section ^ is where I "rant" about some of the current events happening in my life and the world...so...without further ado...
    
     Who would have thought it? No, not me I tell you...not that I mind, but I don't think anyone would have thought that in our lifetime would there be a black American president. I sincerely hope that President elect Obama makes the detractors eat their words and that he can truly lead. A lot of My friends wanted McCain. I was the "maverick" who wanted Obama...and My boy Steve...he was hoping for Obama too.     
     
     God there are so many ignorant people around it's pathetic, example: the other day I was within earshot of a person criticizing blacks..he said quote "When have you ever seen a black guy keep a job for four years?" I was appalled and offended. He was referencing the fact that Obama will be our next president.

                                     Picture This!
    
     This is an interesting time. When people say the word "ghost", there is usually one of two reactions, one of unabashed skepticism, or one of intense belief. With the continuation of science probing every facet of life and death, there seems to be irrefutable proof that ghosts do not exist, and there is no other world but the physical one...but is there? Science may be alot of things but, first and foremost like everything else science is flawed.

      There is a show on the Scifi network called "Ghost Hunters". I am an avid fan of the show, and while I do believe in the supernatural and the spirit world, I can't help but think on the same lines as the founders of T.A.P.S. or The Atlantic Paranormal Society, and the philosophy they employ is this, while we believe that there are true events of paranormal phenomenon, there are reports that are really not associated with the paranormal what so ever, and can be debunked.

      I bring up the show because it inspired me and Steve to try doing a little ghost hunting ourselves. Now, I don't know what the legalities of it are so I will not be including names of places we have visited. Steve and I were with a friend ghost hunting in a cemetery, we have done this a few times and it's been fun, but it's also been very intense. Cemeteries are not the most comfortable place to be at night, the slightest sounds can have you freaking out like a little school girl, I have proof of that.

       We've went ghost hunting a few times now, each time gleaning a little insight into the afterlife. We have had genuine experiences and have caught some voices and even words while doing E.V.P.'s. E.V.P. stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena (in case you didn't know). We haven't been able to really catch anything else due to us not having money for things like, EMF(Electro Magnetic Field)meter, or a thermal imaging camera.

      There can be truly hair raising moments, once while exploring a cemetery Steve started feeling as though he were possessed, I felt it too and it was not a nice feeling. It was as though I was drained of all my natural energy, I couldn't speak, I felt like I was a statue I couldn't move. I felt unspeakable anger rolling off in waves from Steve. It was intense. After that happened Steve and I took a break from ghost hunting to clear our heads and have since resumed our evil evil ways...

      

     I know that this is kinda short and I just want you to know that I will be increasing my length..or if you think it is perfect length just let me know...feedback is always welcome...you can leave me a comment here or you can hit me up by email at: Eros.helios@yahoo.com Thank you all for reading.
