A decision was made without looking at consequence.
Life changed tonight
Selfishness took over sacrifice
Life Changed Tonight.
Experience was so unkind longing for the hurt of others to be numbed.
Life changed tonight.
A guardian angel watched over and provided protection from harms way
Life changed tonight.
That lesson needed to be learned to avoid permanent pain, suffering and loss
Life Changed tonight.
Tears have been cried, anger fills up inside and humiliation does not escape the mind.
Life Changed Tonight.
Respect and integrity stripped away and the question remains .
Do I deserve to get this back?
Each day passes regret and remorse are carried in my being. That cold winter image embedded in my mind for a life time.
My Angel I am happy that I am here talking to you. Every morning I awake I will look up to you and thank you for protecting me and being my guiding light.
Forever and Always you will be my shining star.

Goodbye to Romance
As I say goodbye to Romance for now and travel on a new path
where it will lead me at this point I don't know. Perhaps a new beginning or great adventure.
I leave romance and say thank you for the knowledge I have gained. Hopefully this will take me on a better path and make me a more stronger person than I already was to begin with.
Sometimes we let our expectations rule our outlook on love and create pressures on ourselves to find a complete bond.
Things go bad for whatever reason there are too many scenarios that lead us to contemplate, reflect and say how come or what if. When we should ask what have I gained? Where am I going to let this take me? I guess we never know why or how but one thing I can say is that in all the bad that travels in our constant quest for "The One" there is good to be gained.
The best lesson learned is to take things slow and let love flow...Don't go looking for love let it find you. Don't allow pressures or fears clogged your image of what love is the best guidance to love is through your soul.
Nobody wants to be lonely in life....Sometimes there is no choice but we all control who we let in our lives...Some are lovers and some are beautiful experiences. Others are valuable lessons.
To all my single Guys and Gals take your time it will happen and when it does ever essence of your being will tell you.
Before your know it your quest for love is found let is blossom into a unity for a lifetime.

The Encounter......
The Encounter Began as I sat alone trying to unwind after another routine filled day . Today the routine was broken. You came, with your smile and warm personality. As time moved on we talked, shared, laughed and the next thing I knew a repor was being built.
Time ticked by so quickly that night amazingly it felt like I had known you forever then it would come the time to part ways. Restoration filled my heart . A genuine soul has arrived.
The Encounter Continued I took that chance we talked about and left it up to Karma for guideance of where this path would lead . Never did it cross my mind that it would lead to a beautiful world that you had created. We opened our hearts, removed our guards and created an unbreakable bond.
My mind was silenced from asking Why? How? What if?. Day by Day I felt my connection with you stronger and my heart opening. Thinking of why you came into my life? What would happen if I let you walk away? The distance didn't matter as we were bound together by something more stronger than miles. A connection of two genuine souls hearts of gold shining with so much inside to give.
Time ticked away, days passed by......
The Encounter ended the day we had to say goodbye. You had an obligation to yourself and pride began to tear us apart. I could not bear the pain of seeing you face the challenges of life alone but respected you enough to understand and let you go.
Each day passes I wonder Why? How and What if? I am consoled with the memory of a beautiful being that blessed my life. Karma has decided that it is best for you to leave my world. Now, I try to create a new journey through life. Your guiding light still shines so bright and helps me through the long days and lonely nights.
It will be "Me and You against the world" like we always said.
Our worlds now divided when once they united.

Office or Trailer Park?
Another weekend has passed and here I am preparing for another long week at the office. The good thing about this week is that I am going to go and see Aerosmith and Lenny Kravitz what a way to end the week. So Monday can't come sooner.......
I work in the corporate filed and like any organization we have to follow corporate ethics. In fact our company has designed a code of ethics that one must follow.
There is nothing ethical in the department that I am embrased to be a part of. I may sound a little dramatic but as the story unfolds you will see where I am coming from. We all work with a variety of people some we tolerate others we run to avoid.
Lets talk about the liaison in my department ( catchy job title isn't it). Your thinking demanding high profile person. Yeah right!
This is the person assinged to represent our area to our outside and internal clients.
This person spends the work day coming in for a work day of 6 and a half hours during that time she runs around the office looking for any gossip she can get her hands on and when there is a dry spell in the department of gossip she spends her day cursing, swearing and passing gas( yes passing gas LITERALLY) no matter who is around she makes Trailer Park Boys look like The Lawrence whelk Show. Some are amused others are just repulsed by such piggish behavior.
I have decided to rename the role as The cackling Hen from the Trailer Park.
So the next question is why does management allow such inappropriate behavior. I will tell you why cause we are lead by a feeble weak unrespected person. The feeble Weak Minded Engine That Could who looks to the Trailer Park Hen for Shelter.
Our leader spends the day airing out her dirty laundry to anyone that will listen and in my opinion is failing as her role as a leader any normal operation would have shuffled her off by now. Myself and others spend the day running back and forth trying to catch a moment of her time in between her personal phone calls so we can discuss business afterall that is what I am paid to do. Which makes me raise the obvious question what is is that she does again?
So you can see why the Hen from The Trailer Park is allowed to carry on with her tactics. Maybe our company wants to maintain an equal opportunity workplace in that case they should hand her a all access pass to the looney bin.
That would be an equal opportunity for her to get a real life.
It makes me sick to be linked to people who have no respect for themselves or anyone around them.
Until something better comes along I have to sit back and laugh.....
The time will come when the Hen and The Little Engine are taken back to the trailer park with a one way ticket out the door.
That's The Real Deal

Relationship Rollercoasters
The Relationship Rollercoaster is a ride that we have all been on in our life from one time to another. This can be a really fast ride for some and for others it is a ride that people stay on for the rest of there life.
For some it starts off really fast and firery, and for others it can be a very bumpy journey in the world of relationships.
We can look at this ride from several angles
Expectations: For some we want so bad to find Mr. or Mrs. Right and tend to confuse goals of the relationship with expectations and build a mould for a perfect relationship. Don't get me wrong it is ok to have goals and direction it keeps things going forward which keeps this at a healthy sate but sometimes we self create fantasies of the perfect relationship and try to live them through our partners and when it does not happen frustration anger and resentment takeover. This can lead to controlling dominating situations that can infest a relationship with toxic venom due to self created expectations that lead to even bigger problems if it is not taken care of early in the relationship. With a goal the difference is you and your partner discuss your goals of where you are and where you want to be. As a team afterall that is one of the defining traits of being in a relationship.
Commitment Some of us may ask these questions when is the right time to commit? If I do not commit will I loose the person? No of course you wont but if you commit to something that you are not ready for the sake of keeping the relationship going then inevitably you will end up resenting yourself and your partner and it can scare your significant other off because of the pressure of commitment. It should come naturally and not seem like a task.
When the moment is right it will happen there is no set time line on when someone should or should not commit. This should simply be left up to timing, chemistry, connection, and ones future goals. It is very easy to overlook this due to pressures from family, society and friends they tend to cloud our judgment and the focus shifts from the two people involved in the relationship to fufling society and family expectations. For example you know that feeling at Christmas when grandma or mom says when are you going to settle down......Get married and give me some great grand kids....... Then the panic button goes on cause you have heard this for four Christmas straight.
Just smile and tell mom and grandma all in good time and then think long and hard do I want to spend the rest of my life with this person or do I really want to date one person and only one and if there is even a bit of hesitation don't do it cause you are only going to give into temptation and hurt yourself, your partner and family.
Lust and Love: Some of us confuse these two and think they are the same thing but really they are so different. So the question is when do I know I am in love
the way you can test yourself is by asking: when I wake up do I think of that person, when I have a bad day do I think of that person, when I am sad do I look for that shoulder, when I want to tell a joke do I pick up the phone and call and when that person is not around do you feel less whole if you are answering yes to most of these questions then yes you are feeling the true signs of love and really the true test is if you can't give yourself 100% to the one who gives you 100% then you have to love them enough to let them go.......There is no point in giving half when the other is givin you 100%
Lust on the other hand is that feeling of being in love, desired and the fear of being alone you create a vision and scope out people that have the same vision as you it really is a craving of desire to try and feel love, wanted and appreciated because there is a huge void in your heart and nobody has come along to fill . Some create images of the ideal mate which is not the problem. The problem is this is a fictional feeling that we dream up. If it is love everything in your soul and being will guide you to it
We have been ont his ride from one time or another just think of it as planting a tree set the roots, keep it watered see it grow and fill it with passion love and honesty and watch it blossom into a something naturally beautiful. Once you reach this point the relationship rollercoaster comes to and end and you come off it and go on another journey.

Lessons in Optimism
Given the most recent events happening in our world today. I thought we needed some optimism.
Lets look at the blessing of life. Each day we all rise in the morning with a roof on our head, clothes on our back and food on the table then off we go and take on our routine tasks....Some may not be a routine and yet when you take a look around each morning hardly anyone is smiling, laughing or even alert. Perhaps it is mental, physical, or emotional exhaustion.
Is it that we as human exhaust our minds and bodies to replace or avoid a more serious problem lying beneath the surface?
The problem being perspective and how we deal with it.
Why is it that we can make decsions in our careers but when it comes to a personal level we tend to complicate things by dwelling on what should have been and what could of been and what we don't have.
Perhaps it is ambition that drives us to some of these complications, pressures, to be the best or even personal fufilment in some cases.
To me it is a choice you can choose to allow tensions, disappointments and heartache infect your attitude. In no way am I saying that we should not feel pain and hurt....They are all a part of human healing but some of us tend to hold on to it and resent the blessing of life. Some use that typical cliche that life SUCKS! It is the negativity and resent that makes some parts of life suck.
Everyday we are faced with choices and I myself will be the first to admit that I have never made the best choices and as life goes on I have taken each bad choice and experience and looked at it as a mini lesson in life another chapter in the storybook of life.
While we go throught the animosity, hurt, disappointments or even excitement in some cases it should not go un noticed that the turmoil's life throws at us are really lessons that we can learn from if we allow ourselves to accept the lesson.
It is all about perspective if we program our minds that life is bad it will be as people carry the thought of what could have should have been. Instead why not focus on where you can go and how the lesson impacted you. Accept the knowledge as a positive and you will see how quick you begin to heal.
It is good therapy and think there are people worse off in the world who only wish they can have a piece of what has been given to us.
The simple gift of life has been given to us lets unwrap each day with warmth compassion and optimism. If you let yourself it can lead to a more treasured way of life.
That's the real deal!

Summer Sandals Do's and Dont's
Well Ladies and Gents the summer weather is here in full force and all of us have dipped into are new and old summer threads.
Just as a lot of people do I like to walk and enjoy the scenery around me and appreciate every last moment of this weather inspite of the MASSIVE heat we have been experiencing. Whether I am walking, biking, blading or driving. I enjoy people watching.
Amongst my travels I have noticed people have made the move from sneakers to sandals and who can blame anyone for that.
You have your slingbacks, thong, clogs and slip on's to name a few. But folks we have some sandals do's and dont's to address for the next time you decide to dawn the sandals.
LADIES:
DON'T.....I REPEAT DO NOT wear nylons with sandals it looks ridiculous and defeats the purpose of wearing open toe shoes. There is nothing worse than looking at a pair of feet with renforcement on the toe and ladies don't be fooled by the sandalfoot stockings they are just as ridiculous and don't think we are not laughing at the one line going across you toe. IT IS HILARIOUS
Do get a nice pedicure- the most repulsing thing to see is a nice pair of shoes with feet looking like something you would see on the X-Files. EWWWW!!!!
The average cost for a pedicure is $30.00 which may be a lot these days ladies you do have options:
Option 1 you can walk around with that hang nail coming off you BIG toe with the toe jam not to far or you can walk into walmart and pick up a pair of clippers and get rid of that for $1.49
Option 2 you can walk around with your heels looking like the skin of a lizard and sounding like sandpaper or you can walk into your local drug store and pick up a pumice stone and some cream. $2.49 for both.
Option 3 Nailpolish if you are going to wear pretty shoes how about a nice pretty color to accent your new shoes. The worse thing is looking at a nice pair of shoes with a plain pair of feet can head to the dollarstore and pick out a nice color for $1.00.
Finally if you are painting your toes- STAY IN THE LINES.
There you have it a pedicure for dummies under $10.00
Next we move on to buying the right type of sandals. If you are going to buy a pair of shoes please make sure your toes are not hanging from the edge and if they are it mean the shoe is not fitting. The same rule applys to the heel dragging at the back. If the shoe FITS wear it if not keep your sneakers on.
Ok Guys don't think you are getting off that easy!
Guys if you are going to breakout the burkinstocks put away the SOCKS!!!
If you are going to wear sandals make sure you borrow your mates $1.49 cream there is nothing worse that walking behind you thinking it is a stone in my shoe when it is just layers of your deadskin coming off. YUCK.
For some of you more daring men go ahead and use my guide and give yourself the pedicure for dummies It is ok really. Nobody is going to know if that is your beef. How many guys really sit on a patio and say DUDE nice toes.
Well folks there you have it Just some helpful tips for the next time you want to put on those flip flops.
So go ahead strut your stuff.....and please clean em up your feet will thank you
and so will the on lookers

Sloppy Sleepers
Many of us have several means of getting to work mine is the Go Train this is a 30 min commute everyday so that I can make it into work at a reasonable time
7:00 am to be percise. Call it executive hours but it is worth every bit of deprived sleep that I get. :)
So on my daily commute I have my designated Go Train Car that I sit in I get my morning paper and see what is happening in our world today and I think why do I even need a paper to when there is so much entertainment right before my eyes. In 30min I observe so many interesting things. It is like a mini Soap Opera.
One typical thing that happens on the train is quite often people fall asleeep perhaps it is the motion of the train, a long day staring at a PC or just plain tiredness.
I have noticed that Go Train Sleeping comes in many forms.
You have your typical sleeping passenger- head tilted to one side but then all of a sudden kurplunk the head goes forward at a really quick rate and the passenger is suddenley awaken and looking around to see who has noticed. Then there is me trying so hard not to laugh.
Next you have the sleeping Go Train passenger who has there head right back and mouth WIDE open and I feel inspired to have a game of spit ball.........
Next you have the Go Train Passenger who reads to aviod sleeping and by page 2 BOOM the head is forward with the book wide open almost falling out of the hands and EYES glued shut and there I am dying to GRAB that book and YELL GET UP!!!
Next you have the sleeping passenger who is wearing a walkman but yet manages to still sleep. I am ok with that as long as I can hear the song playing and it is a good one.
Another amusing passenger is the one that takes there shoes and socks off and feet up on the seat. What is this your living room? Please put those shoes back on you are making me GAG!
So that is my take on all the sloppy sleepers.......that I have to see on a daily basis and all I have to say is go to BED early you all look ridiculous.
That's the real deal

Save The Music
Led Zeplin
The Who
The Rolling Stones
Tina Turner
Madonna
Aretha Frankin
The Beatles
Prince
All of these musicians have been around form the 1960's to the present and each one has been a pioneer in music history.
So I ask you this question Where are the pioneers of today?
Rare to find because they do not exist. Why because the face of music has changed from keeping it real to a mass media marketing ploy that does not foucs on the talent but all the BLING BLING and ways to keep the Bling coming into the pockets of these stars at the expense of the fans.
We have the fans who spend there hard earned cash buying concert tickets and expecting a live performance from there favorite icon.
Only to be manipulated by a mic that is off and lots of costumes and a huge stage set. If that is what I want I will go and see a play at least I know the actors are real.
How can we buy into this? It sends a message that we are willing to settle for less when our minds and ears and wallets should be opened for people who really earn it.
So if you hear a CD you like get out there buy it and if you feel inspired for a second do not give up on your dream. Create it and get it out there you never know who you will touch and inspire call me a dreamer but you may even be the next pioneer that changes the face of music.
Otherwise we are going to be stuck watching syndicated episodes of Nick and Jessica, Brittany and Kevin, Carem and Dave. Pimp my ride The Osbournes( but you gotta love OZZY)
KEEP IT REAL! Open your mind and EARS!
That's The Real DEAL
The Who
The Rolling Stones
Tina Turner
Madonna
Aretha Frankin
The Beatles
Prince
All of these musicians have been around form the 1960's to the present and each one has been a pioneer in music history.
So I ask you this question Where are the pioneers of today?
Rare to find because they do not exist. Why because the face of music has changed from keeping it real to a mass media marketing ploy that does not foucs on the talent but all the BLING BLING and ways to keep the Bling coming into the pockets of these stars at the expense of the fans.
We have the fans who spend there hard earned cash buying concert tickets and expecting a live performance from there favorite icon.
Only to be manipulated by a mic that is off and lots of costumes and a huge stage set. If that is what I want I will go and see a play at least I know the actors are real.

Corporate Venom
Sorry I have been gone for a while......
I am here to talk about a highly contagious illness that has been spreading and infecting our work force on a daily basis it is called CORPORATE VENOM. This is all the Snakes slithering around the corportate workplace wating to release there venom.
Now that I have your attention you may have a few questions....
Q)What are the symptoms of corporate venom?
A) It starts with a simple hello, how are you? Then it is followed by lets do coffee this is in the week one phase.
Week 2 it becomes Lets Do lunch?
Week 3 Do you need some help with that report you are working on? It is no problem really?
Week 3 Lets go for Drinks afterwork?
Week 4 So how long have you been married? How long have you been dating? Where did you go to school? Where did you get that dress? Lets go Shopping.
So what do you think about the new girl? Can you belive she did that?
While in week 4 these all may seem like harmless questions BE WARE!!!
Then before you know it here they come trying fish for information about your personal life and once they get a hook. Look out! You are reeled in.
Q) How Can I been sure that I have the illness?
A) On Monday morning you will be the discussion at the Water Cooler and by lunch time the whole office will have the latest eddtion on what you do who you do it with...Along with there personal fabrications things you did not say will become things you did say with various fictional twists.
and.... There you have it you are now Infected with Corporate Venom
Q) What is the best treatment for this illness?
A) Avoid the nosey Nancy's and say as little as possible about your business unless it is work business. If that makes you a social outcast so be it. It is better to be protected then infected. Otherwise this will lead to a non productive workday infected by lies and fabrication and you will find youself blending into the same world of Slithering Snakes.
Q) What if someone really is trying to be nice to me how can I be sure this is not Corporate venom?
A) Don' be fooled this type of infection comes in many different disguises for example you have the eager beaver always wanting to help and not wanting anything in return ( ya right?). The Calm and Quiet this is a hard one to see right away it may seem like they do not say a lot but believe me they hear everything and are typing an email as you speak. Then you have the one who is hard to put a finger on....The best finger to point is in the opposite direction.
Q) Why would my life be of interest to someone that does not know me?
A) A person(s) who is unfufiled desiered or acknowledged in there own life gets sufficient pleasure in interfering with issues that are not there concern
Q)Why?
A) For 10min of acknowledgement it is worth every last fabricated word and Now finally someone is listening or paying attention to them even though it is based on a lie. This is pretty sad but a harsh reality
So there you have it folks a brief overview of corporate venom and how it can be a toxicity your system and create serious hazardsto your mental state of mind.
The best thing to do is to say as little as possible about your personal life and keep your circle of friends outside of the workforce. Seems a little drastic but if you want peace of mind and calm working environment then really this is the only choice you have. Unless you choose to conform and be a carrier of corporate venom which means
"YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A LIFE"
That's The Real Deal

Music My Real Friend
Well folks here I am with my first blog. I thought well I should make this really bubbly and cheerly welcoming me to my new sense of expression. Frankly I would be lying to you all.
So what is the REAL deal you ask? I feel like crap...down in the dumps you know like that piece of gum on the ground that has been walked over so many times it is now part of the sidewalk.
Why? Because I allow myself to be taken advantage of by people. They take take and then take some more so I have come to a conclusion in a sinical kind of way we are all here for a purpose to live learn suceed laugh cry and at the end of the day the only person I can really count on is ME Myself and I.
I had a hard time today and decided like most people how about I call a "friend" they will listen and pick up my spirits so I went ahead and did just that only to have the whole conversation turned around and the next thing you know we are talking about my friends issues. Why do people act like they are listening when really they are waiting for you to fininsh?
So I got off the phone and thought wow that was a waste of an hour......and I still feel like crap.
Next I thought well the TV would be a good way to escape my thoughts so I decide to stop at the NEWS Channel only to hear about all the bad going on in the world today ya that helped thanks a lot GORD MARTINEAU.
So my next outlet was music and here I am feeling muchbetter
Why is it that a musician(s) know me so well and read my mind better than my so called friends......and I use that term loosely that is why I choose to fly solo and be on my own and keep acquaintances. FRIENDS is a nice word someone has made up for exusing people for being users, manipulator, and opportunist once they get what they want they are out of here. As the song says NOTHIN lasts forever
No matter how down I am Music will always be my REAL FRIEND it does not cut you off judge you finger point, use abuse and hurt you besides it costs less than a shrink.
That's THE REAL DEAL
