Vampires: Glamouring Humans for Centuries
I must admit, I have turned into one…a vampire enthusiast that is. Vampires (V’s) have been written about since the 1700′s and myths about these fascinating creatures exist in most cultures. In 1746 Benedictine monk Antoine Augustin Calmet (whose Biblical writings established him as a leading scholar of his time) wrote “Treatise on Vampires and Revenants” The revelations he proclaimed in his writings sent waves of shock and hysteria throughout Europe. Several years later, in 1897 Bram Stoker’s book “Dracula” was published. This was the beginning of a fear/love fascination that us humans have had with V’s for many years.
Murder, Life & Choice
I in no way condone abortion, in fact I believe it to be murder and scarring to women around the world. That being said, I have friends who have chose to go through this procedure and I supported them regardless of my beliefs. A woman should have the right to make decisions about her own [...]
Music Is…
…a beautiful and artistic expression which has been used for centuries to entertain, communicate and express feelings. Growing up in a very conservative Christian home meant that my parents listened to gospel music exclusively, not to say that’s bad but like many others I knew, I didn’t grow up with parents who were musically diverse.

Blue Tuesday
Attempting to explain a personal situation/problem to someone who has never dealt with that particular issue is both frustrating and difficult. Since the other person hasn’t dealt with the same thing they are truly incapable of understanding the situation. We’ve all had people tell us they know how we’ll feel and all that silver lining [...]
Thank You India
For showing me the beauty of God’s creation unlike anything I have ever seen For teaching me that beauty has many forms and can be found in the most unlikely places For reminding me to be thankful for my life and the many things I take for granted For allowing me to step out of [...]
Dreams of Octopuses
I have strange, detailed and often disturbing dreams, I always have. Last night’s dream was definitely odd. I bought 2 exotic fish and a small octopus to put in a salt water tank in my house. I got home, put the aquatic life in the aquarium and sat back to watch. At first the octopus [...]
The Many Faces of Injustice
I have always fancied myself to be somewhat of a rebel, but as the saying goes, I was without a justifiable cause. The America of the 1960’s was both complex and fascinating for many reasons, one of them was the mass of young people who spoke out against social and economical injustice. Today, we (self [...]
Hello Blog, I Missed You
It feels good to have a blog again. I quit blogging about two years ago and have recently been writing for tulsafoodblog.com, and decided to do some personal blogging again. Since T and I are sharing a blog the contents should be a combination of amusing, geeky, informative and random. Should be interesting…
