nice quiet thanksgiving weekend

hi all, i was able to make food for some family members for the Thanksgiving Fall holiday this year. It was a nice few days off of work and we were also able to travel some to a small town Sopchoppy Florida and visit with a local pottery artist George Griffin. I hope your weekend has been nice wherever you are.

the holidays are mostly sad for me, i do not look forward to them much, but doing things not in the traditional way and getting out and about helps keep the mind of sad memories.

have a good reminder of the fall and winter holiday season and please continue to support local artists and poets!

alone is and November already!

hi all,
yes, the year is flying by. if you haven't noticed yet, its already November. November and December always go by so quickly with the holidays for me. Happy Holiday season to you all. Also of note as the year has gone by, after many months i now feel that my writers block is lifting. with the help of a 30 dollar ukalai, i feel like what ever 8 month long feeling that i had to work thru is finally coming to an end. we will see.

a haiku for you...

alone is color
cool and warm breezes blow now
alone is a time

lost in FLA.... it is kinda Space like here

hi all, Fall continues, temps are still not quite Fall like but a least turning nicer. Hope everyone is doing well!

So the post title, lost in Florida (and most places, i know the grass is not more greener for the most part) is a dig at the overall tone, feel, people you interact with on a daily basis. I say 2 in 10 seem real, while the other 8 act like they from another planet.
Stay positive everyone if you can and stay informed at whats going on around you.

a new month, a new direction?

hi all,

October has arrived and well... so far everything is about the same. No news is good news they say so I guess that's something. I was able to complete one video blog a day over at my docrobphotostop youtube channel in September. It was a neat experiment. have a great month and who knows, maybe I will have more news this month. fingers crossed its good news!

hello September, have I ever told you how I don't like August!

hi all,
my writers block continues so another short post today but I want to mention that I am keeping the plan and doing 30 vlog posts in 30 days over at my YouTube docrobphotostop channel. hope everyone is doing great and happy September to you finally! that August is always an interesting(not in a good kind of way) month and i am always glad to say good bye to it!

summer time pond, still need more rain in Tallahassee!

two years already?! time goes by

Hi,
well, i made it two years in my current assignment and looks like a third year will have to be attempted after not getting any of the jobs i interviewed for a few months ago... but who knows, maybe a job i fit with will announce soon.  if you would have asked me a few years ago if i would be in Tallahassee now at this time in my life i would have thought you were crazy. but life is like that sometimes, things don't go as planned.

blah blah blah blah blah

one more month of heat?!

hi all, a few afternoon showers and clouds have returned to the Cap City Fla area breaking up the very warm temps supplying some relief from the heat, but looking forward to September all the same. hope everyone is OK and maybe i will say more this month. writers block continues but a few things should be posted in vlogged about on my YouTube channel if i can get out of this lazy mode.

weather man vs mother nature

the battle of the weather man vs mother nature continues and mother nature with her womanly unpredictability continues to win. the rain was nice while it lasted, we needed every drop. sorry for anyone to suffer damage but this is Florida and start paying attention to mother nature and not weather man! -z-

neat old ship, why with almost 50 percent unemployment for young people we don't have night watch positions for all these historic museum ships is beyond me. most museum ships treasuries can afford this. -z-

insomnia vs writers block

hi all. i had a thought, perhaps my recent few nights of little sleep will help with haiku and other writing projects (blog, e-mail, tweets and tumblr)

just a thought
