this year was easy which mean I"ll prob go nuts next November... OR THE EDITING WILL DO ME IN...

I want to thank Team Calliope for the support and for another fun year.. Hopefully see you next year minus my hospital visits

It's been a wonderful year this year.. and the itch to submit to clean up and take chances is still fresh I hope for all.

For all those who have won I hope you try for that submission push.
For those that fall short Don't give up just because November is over doesn't mean we have to stop... Reach for the stars.

My final total for I doubt I'll write anymore tomorrow, depends on how early the voices in my head wake me up.

Excerpt from Rise of the Unpure

"I wanted to check on you, yeah I'm fine, are you okay?"
Kari nodded crossing her arms across her chest, "Yeah, worried if I was going be called to ID your body." She headed back toward the safety of her building. "Those men you saved me from, something killed them."
"Something?" Flaray questioned as he followed her. "Why do you say something?"
"They had been mauled and one had his throat ripped out, the coroner tried to hide it but…" Kari shrugged. "The police think I knew them."
"But you didn’t?" Flaray entered the building with her.
"No, but once the police get an idea in their heads its hard to get it out." She stopped in front of her apartment. "How did you know where I lived?"
"It's a long story." Flaray stated, he didn’t think of how to explain that part. "I just wanted to be sure you were safe." A howl in the distant made him tense. "You have wolves here?"
Kari chuckled taking Flaray's question as one of fear. "I wish, no, it's a stray I take care he must be hungry." She walked down the hall. "He's a gorgeous husky, but he comes around every so often, I think he wants a break from his owner."
"Owner?" Flaray questioned.
"Yeah, he's well groomed, and has a collar but no tags. He stays for a while then leaves." She looked out over the parking lot. "Strange if he's hungry he's usually right here." Shrugging her shoulders she turned to look at the stranger. "You didn't answer my question, how did you know I lived here?"

not done yet

My Theme Song... thanks to Theory of a Dead man

Hate My Life lyrics

So sick of the hobos always begging for change
I don't like how I gotta work and
They just sit around and get paid
I hate all of the people who can't drive their cars.
Bitch you better get outta the way
Before I start falling apart

I hate how my wife is always up my ass
She always wants to buy brand new things
But I don't have the cash.

I hate my job, all of my rich friends
I hate everyone to the bitter end.
Nothing turns out right There's no end in sight
I hate my life!

How come I never get laid nice guys always lose.
How could she have another headache
There's always some kind of excuse
I still hate my job, my boss is a dick
"I don't get paid nearly enough
To put up with all of your shit"

I hate my job, all of my rich friends
I hate everyone to the bitter end.
Nothing turns out right There's no end in sight
I hate my life!

I hate that I can't tell when a girl's underage,
You know, I tell her she's a nice piece of ass,
Then her daddy punches me in the face

So if you're pissed like me
Bitches, here's what you gotta do
Put your middle fingers up in the air
Go on and say "Fuck you!"

I hate my job, all of my rich friends
I hate everyone to the bitter end.
Nothing turns out right There's no end in sight
I hate my life!

So much at stake, can't catch a break
I hate my life
No, it's nothing new hear "it sucks to be you"
I fuckin hate my life

Okay, Ron is home from the hospital.. Has to have Oxygen and then follow up with 3 specialists. Talk about bills wracking up.. I don't see how anyone can pay for medical care.

Only 2 hours and 10 min to go until NANO starts....

Notes, yes..
Thumb drive yes....
ideas and plot.... mmmmmm maybe

Okay where I am diet wise I have no idea. Was in hospital all last week and was on a low fat, low chol diet. Diddn't bother me since I don't use salt that much anyway.

Blood Clots in the lungs.... go figure, no idea how they got there nothing. Could be there from a long time ago and just now causing trouble since I thought I was coming down with a cold. Scanned legs no clots there. So at this time they have no clue why I have them in my lungs. So... now I'm giving myself shots of Lovenox this weekend.. (Can we say ouch)... and at the same time I have to take 1 Coumadin every night . Was suppose to get blood drawn yesterday, but the place closed at 11 and not noon. Should have called but didn't.. Oh well one mistake won't kill me...

My blood pressure at doc's office was 160/102... never saw someone pale when they took my blood pressure, but I think she did. Then my oxygen was mid/low 80's. So off to the hospital I went and in an ambulance yet. Haven't been in one of those since I was 7? 8? the paramedics were so nice but I still felt guilty I didn't feel sick, and felt I was taking up their precious time. Too much conditioning from Adam 12 and Emergency from my younger days.

So now I'm on Blood Pressure meds too.. In a way I'm looking forward to my trip to my reg doc tomorrow to see what she says.. and to get a release to go back to work.

Will have to wear compression socks too (you know the ones, when you're 7-10 years of age you go.. Old Lady Socks. And find yourself staring at Yep I get to wear those)

Have to watch any future chest pains, they didn't run the tests, but I could have some blockage of the heart valves, but right now they think it's all to do with the clots..

Good thing is I'm still breathing, I'm alive but to quote Chekov "I won't enjoy it"... Just kidding... Every day above ground is good..( unless I run into a real life vampire)

Went to the NANO kick off here in toledo at the Claddaugh's it was great seeing old and new faces.. Missed some but will catch them on Thursdays. :-) Let NANO begin.......

Will prob put my experience into my story and see how I can interweave vampires into it.

Mentioned some of my ideas of my one vampire Kara and the girl next to me mentioned oh its Kenyonisk.. Yeah it could be deals with Hades and a B rated movie I saw called Persephone. And gave a different view point on how vampires came into this world. So yeah Kenyonisk in the fact I use the Greek Gods.. Well one or two and Amazons. If that comes forth who knows. But its in the back of my mind and NANO is all about writing your ideas and making them a story.

hehehe Reminds me of Here's Your Sign

Why, Why, Why,

Why do we press harder on a remote
control when we know the batteries are almost dead?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Why do banks charge a fee on
'Insufficient funds' when they already know there is
not enough money?

--------------------------------------------------------------



Why does someone believe you when you say there are four

billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?

--------------------------------------------------------------


Why does Superman stop bullets with his
chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

--------------------------------------------------------------

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes
that something new to eat will have materialized?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Why do people keep running over a string
a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down,
pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum
one more chance?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Why is it that no plastic bag will open
from the end on your first try?

--------------------------------------------------------------

How do those dead bugs get into those
enclosed light fixtures?

--------------------------------------------------------------

When we are in the supermarket and
someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes
for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?'
Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say,
'That really hurt, why don't you watch where
you're going?'

--------------------------------------------------------------

Why is it that whenever you attempt to
catch something that's falling off the table you always
manage to knock something else over?

--------------------------------------------------------------

In winter why do we try to keep the house
as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the
heat?

--------------------------------------------------------------

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

--------------------------------------------------------------

And my FAVORITE.......

The statistics on sanity is that one out
of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental
illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're
okay, then it's you.
