Suicide rates are up and so are divorce filings. Why people feel the need to hurt themselves or others especially during this time of year is beyond me. Yes, I know all about how loneliness plays into it. People are depressed because they miss their families, however if they hadn’t alienated them in the first place they wouldn’t be depressed. Now before you get your panties in a bundle understand that I too suffer from chronic depression and have many reasons to end my life, but I have many more reasons to keep going, like my wife and kids and the fact that whatever is causing things to be bad tomorrow it WILL be better. This season should be a time to mend differences and put aside those reasons you hate your family. Forget the fights with uncles, dads, brothers, sisters...etc. Just let the past go living there only stops you from looking forward! Someone said once you can’t go forward by always looking behind you. As always I’ll write again soon. Oh!

The work is getting more intense and there is more to do. I'm finding I actually have a knack for running political campaigns, and I like it. Today I went to meetings and set up advertising. Planning for a meet and greet for my candidate. There is alot to say but not sure on how to get it in and where to start. This blog has become my outlet for stress.

The kids were out of school yesterday and today. plus is was cold and raining here today and yesterday. Couping up the kids because of bad weather is not cool. But they did get to go over to grandma's and play awhile. Next week grandpa and Aunth Jean are coming to visit and they are excited about that. Zach has spent a good part of the day drawing and the other two were watching movies. We watched X-Men The Final Stand and Fast and The Furious...Tokyo Drift. Both movies were pretty good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we had to put plastic on the windows on the house. It's getting colder and colder here. Winter is coming fast. The campaigns are winding down and would you believe after all these months some jerk stole one of my signs from my front yard. The good news is I know who did it so I turned him over to the police...lol Good night for now!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36418559-116200527934033935?l=deadwritersociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deadwritersociety.blogspot.com/feeds/116200527934033935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36418559&amp;postID=116200527934033935' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36418559/posts/default/116200527934033935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36418559/posts/default/116200527934033935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deadwritersociety.blogspot.com/2006/10/crazy-days.html' title='Crazy Days'/><author><name>Rick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10584503055707191009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418559.post-116182360816766054</id><published>2006-10-25T19:40:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-11-12T19:28:34.799-06:00</updated><title type='text'>A regular day</title><content type='html'>Today started out okay! But my blood sugar kept dropping which is a problem. Nevertheless I kept working at keeping it higher and kept working on the things I needed to do. The campaigns are winding down and up for the end. Even though my list of tasks are becoming less, the list is intense for what has to be done. My first candidate is doing what we call a meet and greet. This is like it sounds people come meet the candidate and talk with them in a casual setting. They discuss the issues and proposed policies. Well this is my post for today. I'll write again soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36418559-116182360816766054?l=deadwritersociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deadwritersociety.blogspot.com/feeds/116182360816766054/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36418559&amp;postID=116182360816766054' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36418559/posts/default/116182360816766054'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36418559/posts/default/116182360816766054'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deadwritersociety.blogspot.com/2006/10/regular-day.html' title='A regular day'/><author><name>Rick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10584503055707191009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418559.post-116149088617754263</id><published>2006-10-21T23:11:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-11-12T19:28:34.715-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome</title><content type='html'>Thanks for stopping at my blog. I'm sure you've read the desription above, so you have some idea of what I am about. I work alot so I also spend alot of time with my family it's a difficult balance at times. Currently I have a great deal of case work to do in my paralegal business. Although my writing has suffered over the past year. The writers block thing is just kicking my butt. Perhaps it's doing so because lately with my business, family time, and running two political campaigns I have little time for much else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not complaining at all just busy... in fact at times too busy. I hope the name of my blog drew you in. If so you won't be disappointed, yes I write about many things, some sci-fi, and then some fantasy. I do actually go out on ghost searches at times I find that stuff just facinating. Although I have a level head I love the supernatural as a hobby. My focus is writing, research (legal and political) and my family. Well this is my intial post so enjoy and I'll post again soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again thanks for stopping by.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36418559-116149088617754263?l=deadwritersociety.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deadwritersociety.blogspot.com/feeds/116149088617754263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36418559&amp;postID=116149088617754263' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36418559/posts/default/116149088617754263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36418559/posts/default/116149088617754263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deadwritersociety.blogspot.com/2006/10/welcome.html' title='Welcome'/><author><name>Rick</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10584503055707191009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
