It Takes A Village
I sit here alone. My wife and daughter at the doctor’s office. My brother at work. My folks both taking a nap. Temps dropping into the tolerable range outside. Windows open. Breeze blowing in. Mine is a life and house at peace.
My mind wanders. I look up from my laptop and stare out the window at my neighbors tree. The wind and neighborhood voices rustle it’s leaves and I...
On The Inside Looking Out
It is my growing personal opinion that the end-result of prolonged introspection is depression. Maybe that explains the angst that is the daily fodder of many blogs.
How often do we fail to live up to our own internal, predetermined expectations? The reality is life seldom turns out as we imagined it would in our youth.
The irony of this opinion is not lost on me. I’m...
Homeless On Your Lunch Hour
Originally uploaded by Doublep1 What if I don’t care about people or their pain. Does that make me bad? Is it wrong of me to be this indifferent? Some would say it is but what can I do when faced with such misery but just keep walking? © 2007 Mark Cross (via Who I Was Then)
The Way Tuesdays Were Meant To Be
I spent the entire day with my wife and soulmate Missy.
She had a rough morning and since we were both off today I packed her up and the two of us made a day of it.
We went to the library and picked up some new reading material then headed to the nearby lake where we sat reading our books and soaking up the sun (i.e., did a lot of sweating) all afternoon.
Then we headed over to one of our...

Watchjumping spider mating behaviour - This is just weird. Be sure your sound is up because the sound is a huge part of the mating ritual… and the truly weird part.
Do you have any regrets?
I don’t believe in regret because I don’t think you can ever know how things would have really gone I’d you made another choice. We tend to imagine that if we hadn’t made that mistake, life would have been perfect, but that’s not true. We can’t see what would have happened… another thing could have gone “wrong,” another worse mistake. ...

He’s become so isolated and insulated that he won’t even listen to his own party any more. The man is a megalomaniac and a far greater threat to our nation than any foreign entity or ideology.

Some early Mac Envy love
So far, including myself and David, the man behind Tumblr himself, I count 5 (10%) of my followers using Mac Envy. You can download it here. You did good with this one Cameron.

Mac Envy
This is Cameron’s newest Tumblr theme, Mac Envy. Just giving it a spin to see how it looks and works in real world application. If you like/dislike/whatever give Cameron some feedback. Creative types like that sort of thing. But I’ve got my recent Polar Bear theme safely backed up just in case I want to switch back.
Dearest Tumblr
Yes it’s true. I’ve had affairs, most recently with Twitter and Pownce. But they didn’t mean anything. I didn’t love them. I was just having a good time. I always come home to you because it’s you that I truly love. - m

Oh!
One last thing regarding my new Polar Bear theme by Cameron then I’ll shut up about it. I love the wider layout utilizing more of the screen real estate. Ok I’m done. - m
