Autumn Equinox... It's Always Darkest before Dawn!

Lately I have embraced the pains, first and foremost, as well as the harvest joy of Onion cultivation. This is something that I get a real charge from which makes me feel positive despite all the "negative's" of painstaking work that most would shy away from. In a time honored tradition, I along with a select group of my siblings have been blessed with the priveledge to be the family heirs and executors of the family fortune. The farm has passed down from my great-great grandfather, to his son, down through the chain, from one generations to the next. My blood line has always been of good stock, yet we have always produced large family's. My father along with a select group of his brothers were chosen as the sons of heir by thier father and so it must be with my generation. It has been a tradition is my family to only pass on the reign's of the family farm to the sons who deserve the priviledge which can never be a gift, but only be earned on the proving groungs out in fields. For this reason, it is the humble honor of a select few of us to grow into this responsibility through our steadfast display of character, integrity, work ethic, honor, morality, and peace loving humility. Learning to run the farm has brought on it's own gamet of challenges, to say the least. While wisdom is a mentally developed attribute, character often comes from busting tail (pardon my French). Both of which have contributed to the solvency and perpetual strength of our farm for well over 100 years. As recent as 1965 my grandfather vested our assets into the Williamson Act andwe are looking forward to a bright future with the possitive effect is poses to the bottom line. This decision is one that will bring a measure of prosperity to both the timeless legacy of our estate as well as those chosen and entrusted to run it. Talk is cheap and with us, you have to walk the walk. We must be quality individuals and sow seeds of quality in order to reap the quality we desire. For this reason we have a stringent prcurement process and run a balanced budget without any slack. All of our equipment as well as our long-term investments are considered with forsight and prudent application in the foreseeable future. For this reason, we expect a good return on good investments. The Autumn Harvest is upon us as we approach thie Merry time of the year. From the professional positioned GPS guided tractors to the cutting edge DNA hydrids, we make sure that all our crops and even the pigeons on our farm exhibit healthy reproduction cycles. to me by mythe many ways the autumn harvest has been celebrated by ancient cultures around the world. We operate on what is called a Cycle 3 Autumn Harvest for Onions which comes after the Autumn Equinox. From ancient Europeans, Chinese, Pilgrims, Iroquois, and the Yoruba of Nigeria to modern day Indians, North Americans, Jews and the children of Angola, the autumn harvest is rich with stories of celebration and tradition. Some of the Biblical Truths found engrained in our company policies and ways of life are: Luke 12:48 Principle (To whom much is given, much is required); Matthew 20:16 ("So the first shall be last, and the last shall be first"); and Proverbs 8:13 ("The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate"). I've always had "something to prove", but after this harvest... I've got something to give. Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless each and every one of you.

Testing, testing, one, two three... I am alergic to the metal in my braces... definately braces... me... for sure. I don't see how I and everyone else couldn't have seen that in the first place. All along the braces have been under a wax coating and you could not see them or the results of thier interaction with the surrounding tissues. I don't know why nobody thought of this before. I mean we were digging, and digging, and digging for something but we just couldn't find it... until one day my doctor came out and straight out asked me... braces, do you have 'em... and I just had to admit it... I fucking have braces. I've been hiding them since I was born... they've been invisible until just now... so here they are in all thier multicolored glorry... my braces! Oh me, oh my... just my braces and I!

Oh, I've been dying to let that out... one more left, I just got to come out and say what the other one is... I'm gay and I'm black... and I'm a lesbian... I hate grey people! Don't know why anyone cant see that. Stay of my braces everyone tells me.. then they push me and shove me, bump me, and hit and rattle my braces... oh wait... I don't have any! Ha.

Now as for the 6 month thing... recording in the music studio takes time.. ya I know and I don't care. Whatever, whatever. I don't have a wish to detroy my contract with my label or end the life of my personal company. No, it's just that whatever is out of the bag is out and I'm not going ot worry about anything... it's in God's hand... like he hasn't protected me before! Ha, got that one right didn't I. Praise you My Lord, I commit my life and soul into your hand Jesus, may your will be done with my sinful self. Now, back to business... if there is a issue brewing, is "possible" but highly unlikely as most of my big mistakes in my career are over a year ago. In fact if you go to my website and check out my Holliday Music Collection, the lifeblood of my royalty revenue, CD-4 to be exact, you will surely find that I am an up and coming artist who has just began thier life. However, I am not perfect, need continous voice lessons and am always ready to drag my sorry ass to sound check when the tech's are ready to calibrate the sound boards. I understand that with me and the band there that they can perform many tasks in the background without requiring my time, atention, or without even my knowledge. I think this is FABULOUS and am not sure why I didn't think of it earlier. Over sampling, preventing feedback, looping, synthasizing, multi-tracking, gain setting, all of it can be done with one little visit from me... best part is I don't even have to pay, the producers got it covered. Perhaps tomorrow or a day soon... I think I need a 24 hour notice if I am correct... to empty my schedule and prepare mentally (if I am not mistaken)... once again the assholes in engineering just called me... but yes they got my atention and they do a good job at what they do. After all, I just show up, they do the magic on mixing boards and workstations.

Neighborhood Fire!?!?!

A littel girl in the neighborhood's curiousity may have cost her family everything. Previously she had been told not to play with matches, cigarette lighters, fire ingeneral... to not even go there. But her curiousity may have "killed the cat" this time. A observing nieghbor had tried to talk her out of such activities on prior occasion, by taking away her lighter and matches may have effectively "forced" a much worse ending... turning the little girl to eventuially play with a torch instead. Trying to prevent, prevent, prevent and eventually mitigate and squelch the issue permanently... he may have aided her in playing with the torch that may have cost her... EVERYTHING but her life. Local authorities are investing for possible arsen charges, and will determine if this was an isolated case or if it was linked to other past, and possible future fires. One thing that must be established is the "whole" of the situation considering people's atempts at adverting the situation, criminal intent, and weather the little girl has "accidently" taught herself and her entire family a lesson... that they may or may not bounce back from. The insurance claim's investigator is on scene and will soon submit his report which will decide is the family has or does not have a future, in thier reconstructed home. The whole issue is holding on by a thread, at best... and the family throws theremselves at the emrcy of the hearing committe, of which they have respectfully requested a review considering all of the facts and thier contributions to both the community and the insurance company via thier life-long premium payments.. past, present, and future. Time will tell...

What to bank on?

I have always wanted to start my own bank, or Credit Union actually becasue I am really into the members have a finacnail steak in it the whole thing looking forward to retirement, etc. I do understand that the whole thing must follow the same guidelines of a bank, the Department of Commerce, and be FDIC insured. Stuff like this must be done responsibily and for the benefit of members and society in general. I just wonder if I should include these plans in my immediate future or if it's just a pipe dream that needs to go in a diary somewhere until later. I understand the industry pretty good, now I need to decide if I want to concentrate on the technical aspects or on the general banking philosophy as far as customer service goes. Who knows, both may be necessary to run a successful finacnial institution of my own someday. So much in my head... yet I'm way behind considering the downturn in the market with the shole mortgage crisis and all. It is a dream of mine, now I just need a little direction... the plathora of information out there has made things a bit foggy. I do know this, that there is little to be said when you consider the picture of things that have just transpired... time will tell.

Watching Media with Cup Half Full or Half Emty?

Do you like to watch major media news even though they are ALL way too liberal? I do because I'm a raging liberal myself and my glass of lomonade is half full right now. Tonight I only get to watch half of the major media news because when my lemondae is gone, I'm going to bed. Speaking of Media, well multi-media anwhow, I'm listening to Trent Resnor right now. What quisling of a man! I wonder what street he lives on other than easy street. He has no loyalty in him, not a drop, nor honor, nor valor... what a piece of shit! HA. :P If he reads this, I bet I get his attention... "Hey Trent, you pansy ass, don't take it personal you fag!" He's the kind of guy that I wish would crawl back in his shell... but alas, I missed the Price Is Right this time while worrying about Much Ado About Nothing and of course TRENT. I love to ponder on that play. My fault for not being more alert to the TV Guide showing times for my favorite game show... missed it all while soaking in the warmth of the hot tub... but next time, I'm gona watch ol' Bob Parker sexualy assult those bimbo's... like we all would. ;) Till next time, Audios Amigos!

Hearts on Fire, a Diamond... cut Perfectly!

I went with my loved one to check out the Hearts on Fire Diamond... and a gem it was. They say a diamond is for ever... a diamond is one of the toughest substances on earth, something that really holds up under heat and preasure. I expect no less from my diamonds and I'm sure everybody else feels the same about thier gems, new and old alike. All 58 facets are highly polished under 100x magnification, they say that's 10x's the industry standard... I'd say they probably use an even better microscope than that. The display they had was an inspiration and gave me an emotional renewel of my vows. I plan to be the real deal with my partner and this was just what I needed. Everybody goes through the same thing: "For better or worse, in sickness and in health", but I went with something a little different... "I Gary, take you Anna to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live." It's a subtle but distinctively better little twist. "TRUST"... a big one. "I will cherish our union"... and cherish our union I shall... cherish what I have made with you, in fiath, trust, and good will, in a mutual agreement together, an immortal bond which will live forever, beyond our death. The overwhelming feeling of life and the distractions of the "little things" can often get in the way of the big picture of our future, but one day at a time, one short little day, one after another, steps, adding up to what seemed impossible in the beginning. I really needed to see this viewing of the Hearts of Fire Diamonds... tonight my love and I will share a large box of Penguin Chocolate Mints. At least one box, there is much love to make and tonight is a perfect night to "light that fire". Like anybody, there have been times when I had my doubts, not weather "it" would work, but weather I had "it" in me. If I had what it took. The ability to read a woman, to know what she really wants from you, and most of all to actually deliver after discovering... how elusive and impossible of a task at the onset, yet I find myself over an emotional hump and re-engergized for the challenege in my labor of love. I know in the future things can, and will get worse, as they will better in the cycles of challenges and victories that we will go through together as I learn to read her mind and produce, as she will take care of me in the ways that only she can. Life is just a bunch of bumps, lessons, trials by fire and when it comes to fires, my heart's aflame and I'm in this one... the Hearts on Fire Diamon, The World's Most Perfefctly Cut Diamond... made one step at a time! And Yes, I still love her ;)
