http://write-read-live.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
He ramblings of a freelance writer, novelist and avid reader. Saturday, June 4, 2011. So why am I joyously fanatical this evening? Because tomorrow morning at 8:00 am central time one of those moments will unfold on my living room television: The 2011 French Open Men's Final. Seriously, if at any point tomorrow or later on YouTube you want to see poetry in motion (wow, I really just said that) watch 5 or 10 minutes of this final. Why do I know it will be amazing? I have no idea. I’m not even su...Shelfar...

He ramblings of a freelance writer, novelist and avid reader. Monday, February 7, 2011. Learning to Love Disappointment. You’re in the air and it’s above you and it’s heavy. Gravity tells me what goes up must come down…and in this case a big, angry machine will inevitably come down on your head? The ski jump is a literal leap of faith the first time you do it – and then again each consecutive time. How do you practice that? 8220;I’m sorry, who is this eagle person? 8221; I asked. Well of course he was ri...

He ramblings of a freelance writer, novelist and avid reader. Tuesday, October 2, 2012. Blind Faith Fandom Payoff. I’ve finally gotten around to posting this video from YouTube as a follow up to my Learning to Love Disappointment. Post from February 2011. The final moments of the US Open Men’s Final – known by me as the day our lad did indeed get there – as seen through the eyes of a pub full of Scots. Yes, it did make me cry and I did watch it more than once. O Flower of Scotland,. When will we see.

Write. Read. Live.: A Difficult Conversation
http://write-read-live.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-difficult-conversation.html
He ramblings of a freelance writer, novelist and avid reader. Wednesday, May 22, 2013. No excuses. I haven’t been in the mood or frame of mind to blog at all recently. Obviously I’m getting around that obstacle and moving into a place where I need to vent through writing. And here’s the thing:. There are things that no one talks about. At least not loudly—and I’m not sure why. Yes, absolutely personal. And here’s the other thing:. Speech I’ve received from most women I talk to about miscarriage. Or, R...

A variety of topics and opinions by a 23 year old from Rogers, MN. Monday, June 30, 2014. With 4th of July coming on Friday and the World Cup a little over halfway done, we as a country have been surrounded by Patriotism. The amount of USA outfits for support of the Soccer team along with the amount of USA stuff in the stores for the 4th is enough for us to believe that Red, White, and Blue are actually the only colors that exist. Have a great 4th of July weekend from my family to yours,. June 24, 2016.
