19 years, 4 months, 11 days ago....... My first blog. Someone shoulda said, "Victor, don't do that."

Today, May 7, 2025... is blog #2,513.  The first was September 29, 2005.  With tongue (you pick) somewhat in cheek, squarely in cheek, swab his cheeks - he's gotta be nuts (haha) a buddy named David told me one time "Vic, I went back and read each and every one." SUSIE!  Good gosh gerty, SPICE THAT MAN'S LIFE UP!  (But TY David, it was impressive of you!)

I have no idea how people read it back then.  Facebook began in 2004 , penned by a group of Harvard students.  Harvard, hmmm, rings a bell.  MySpace did start in 2003 but I have no idea if I posted it there. Cobwebs, we all get 'em.  Get in the way when walking around in earlier life.

No idea why I'm sharing this today, which, generally fits this, these blogs - no idea on why.

Why do I write?  I like to.  I get bored.  Admittedly, have gotten down, writing (to me anyways) is like taking a hoe, spade, turning cruddy soil over, giving it new, more vibrant life.  (Trying to anyways.)

The road of life has potholes.  So Victor, ahm, are you thinking Pulitzer Prize for that sentence or something, that why you shared?  Ahm, no.  I simply mean there is negative, much, in every day - thus, I try to write, include a minimum of one happy snippet. As Barney would say, "NIP IT, NIP IT, NIP IT", ok, ok, I'll try a positive snippet.

The first blog is below.  Like most, it's pretty mundane, which, I consider as wonderful fodder should you have insomnia, you'll be back asleep in no time.  It was Fall, and entitled 'fall....

No idea whyinthehell I didn't capitalize it.

fall,,.

Ain't it wonderful? After months and months of coming in from outside to stand in the way of the fan - or, to catch a snippet of AC... it's a tremendous feeling to "want" a jacket.

Life's cycle continues... Clockwork... Why is it, as our eyes age and become weaker we simultaneously become more attuned and appreciative of such changes? Ya think it's because we know that day where we won't be able to do all that is beckoning? Eh, I dunno.

It's probably only because we know winter is not far behind and we better suckup the good days whilst we can. I always wanted Florida. Something about a decorated palm tree just doesn't ring true for Christmas though.. Two piece binkini's in the Piggly Wiggly - yes... Illuminated coconuts - no. Give and take huh?

So, I'm gonna let them eyeballs feast on the changing of the trees... The football lights in the distance... Finding the jacket from last year and seeing if it still grades out on today's style... Folding and putting away shorts to a place I'll remember come May... wondering if my 36" waist will still fit in them the next time. Wouldn't it be great to HAVE to buy new 34" ones next year? Yeah, right.

Daylight Savings coming to an end. Shit. Dark is depressing. Unless of course there are two to share dark. Mebbe that's why so many babies are conceived during this time.. Kinda bassackwards to athletics. When you're young, you smooch and bear the fruit of a snotnose. IE, you practice, then you have the real game. When you're older, you push 'the real game' out of the nest, then you practice! Hooray for practice. Why does 98.6 + 98.6 feel warmer?

Work beckons. Shit. Nah, I actually love work. Been the constant in my life for the last few years. Now, adding ingredients to that recipe of life. Even though I can't cook worth a crap - I'm enjoying the meal!

Have fun with your life cycle. Stick your tongue out at the little things and gasp and record the wonderful things. Save room for dessert too. Happy day.
