Things have Changed

Well, I was going to start off with Music Mondaze today but Mixpod (the site I was using for music) has shut down.
Now I have to find another site that will allow me to set up a music play list that works on blogger.  What a bummer.  If any of you have any ideas please let me know where I can find a site that lets you build a play list of music and works on blogger, I would greatly appreciate it.

Things have Changed

Mixpod closing down is not the only thing that has changed.

Blogger in the background has changed as well.  I don't know if I like that change, only time will tell.

I also had to get a new computer and Windows has changed completely to Windows 8.  The Jury is out on if it is any good.  At first glance it appears to have lots of things going on with the Apps screen.  Since the computer is so new it will take me awhile to get used to it and see how it all "Flows".  I wonder if it will make things easier or if it will just be another bunch of hog wash to deal with.

I know this isn't the best post I have made here but forgive me as I am just now getting back into the blogging life style and I have to work on new material.  At least I am giving it a go again.

Seriously, I would like to get Music Mondaze going again but need a site that I can use to build play lists on. So again any ideas would be nice if anyone out there knows of a good site.

Hope you all have a good day and a Great start to a new week.

Starting..... Again!

I haven't been on here in a long, long, LONG time and it took me forever to figure out my old password and sign in information, but I did and now I can start blogging again.  I will start off slowly and hopefully pick up steam - so to speak - and get back to my old blogging habits and come up with something fresh and new on a regular basis.

Things are finally coming to completion with Social Security and I have a hearing to find out if they will give me my benefits on March 12th.  So if you are into Prayers please say one for me to get my SS benefits.  If your not into Prayers at least cross your fingers and toes for me if you would.  Once this is all done with SS I should be getting back to a regular posting schedule here on the blog.

Thanks for stopping in to see what is new and I will do my best to come up with one of my short stories in the near future.

I truly hope all is well with you and yours and am looking forward to doing this again.

So I am "Starting........ Again!"

Something to THINK About!

Most of you that read me know that from time to time I have extra time on my hands to watch TV and Movies.

Well, watching "Legion" a couple of weeks ago and a quote was made in it I found to be a very interesting QUOTE and Question.

Personally, I am still pondering my response/answer to it.

Here is the QUOTE from "Legend" and I will share what I have come up with for myself so far, after.


"If You don't wake up tomorrow and it turns out Today is Your Last day on Earth, Would You be Proud of what You have Done in this Life?"


Hmmmmmm........
Makes you think a bit doesn't it?
I literally have been thinking about it for Weeks.
Not the Easiest of things to answer.

I have done things in my past I am DEFINITELY NOT Proud of:

1. Held a Grudge against my Parents for things they did, that they thought best at the time.  (Upon Reflection, as a Parent myself, I have to say I can understand - those choices are not EASY.)
2. As the Eldest of 3 Brothers I have allowed separation between us all.  One I know why and was not able to correct it before he passed away, but he knew I was trying to get us past it.  The other..... Well, that one I am really and truly clueless as to what happened.  I have an Idea but not even sure that is the problem.
3. I Love Pissing Off ASS Hats and making them look "Little" - basically putting them in their place, that they are NO Better than the rest of us.  (Been put there myself a few times - hard lesson to learn!
4. Proving a Professor at College Wrong in front of the entire class..... and that Cost me a 4.0 GPA  (Still feel I was right in that matter as it was Literature Interpretation and his opinion was the ONLY opinion - Interpretation is just that in my book - I can say one thing and you take it another.  Wars have been started that way!)
5. Drank like a Fish -- and could put men twice to three times my size under the table -- Quit 3 days after I got married, She was more important and I told her that -- in 15 years now I might have had a case + a 6 pack.
6. and those are just a few -- If I sat here and thought about it all night I would come up with Hundreds of things that I am NOT PROUD OF, but that would then get down to the nit picky.

Things I have Done that I am PROUD OF:

1. Married my Wife -- she is EVERYTHING to me and MORE....... (those that have read before can piece that together and WHY.)
2. My Daughters, knowing that J and I have brought them up to be BETTER than US in ALL WAYS!
3. Knowing that I have Learned from my Parents mistakes - isn't that how they are supposed to bring us up?  (NO, not all mistakes were avoided, but realizing I/We were in a similar situation and Not doing it/them the same way.  They did their job and taught me and I Learned from their experience.)
4. Stopping and helping others when they need/ed help, not because I had to but because it is/was the right thing to do.
5. Making Friends around the World and accepting the differences between themselves and myself, realizing that somewhere in there, there were similarities we could agree on and make something with it/them.
6. Teaching my Daughters to Treat All People with respect, As I Try to Treat All People with respect.  (there are times you try and try and it doesn't work, then you resort to treating them the way they treat you and others and eventually they get the idea, HOPEFULLY)
7. Having served my country not once but twice - once in the U.S. Navy on-board the USS Sierra AD-18 (during Desert Shield and Storm, two Hurricanes Hugo and Andrew), and in the U.S. Army in Bosnia.
8. Most of my writing on this Blog (call it Rose Colored Glasses on my part) is GOOD.  (Some not so Great but all writers in any format have a bad day once in awhile.... LOL)
9. and I will stop this one here as again I could go on and on.

These are Some of the responses to the QUOTE/QUESTION above.

Care to share any of yours even if it is just one or two?
and if not - At least Think about it...... Are you headed where you want to be, or....

Hope you all have a Great Day!
Danny

Changes ---- Make-Over?

Music Playlist at MixPod.com

The Song Fits the Title -- Play and Read.

I have been away from My Blogging Community and Anything at Anytime for about 2 months.

Talk about changes to the "Blogging World".  

Several of the Blogs I follow have Changed their look. (Some Big Changes -- WOW)

Some have gone so far as to Change Their Blog all together. (Now I have more work to change all of their Links - JEN!  :) LOL )

AND!!!!!!

One more of the Blogs I Follow has Become a B.O.N. (Blog of Note).

(I am really glad for that one -- The Quiet Riot has some EXCELLENT art and Poetry and Prose.  She was one of the top two of my 12 Blogs by Christmas (See I Noted and Acknowledged her Greatness before "BLOGGER" did) - Her site - Dancing on the Other Side of the Rainbow.  Not to mention I was One of her FIRST Followers and she made me a Dragon (Just for me - see Green Dragon on the Dragon N Books Page) that I truly cherish as it is an AWESOME Dragon.)

So......

Since Everything is a Changin...... I Figure it is time to give Anything at Anytime a little bit of a Make-Over.  

A Newer refreshed Look..... for a New Beginning.

Look around at the Page -- Background, Texts, Colors...... Nothing Major but it Gives it a Totally Different Look.  

Tell me what you think.  

If Any of it is difficult to "Read" or Really bugs the eyes, Please tell me as I want it to work/look smooth and inviting.

Dan

P.S.  Any Ideas on a specific song for MUSIC Mondaze tomorrow?

Dilemma - What do I DO?

A dilemma for Anything at Anytime (Me)

The medication I have been taking makes me tired all the time.  Basically what I told the Dr. is that I wanted to be knocked out or zoned out for the next few weeks before school starts for the kids.
Less time awake means less time to do things that are shall we say definitely detrimental to my health.

It is Working but now here is my dilemma:

1. I really Love 3 Musketeers candy bars 
2. I really Love Milky Way candy bars
3. I love Cinnamon hard candy 
4. and last but not least I love my Butterscotch hard candies.

Now what do I do?

Surrounded by Candies to supplement my desires.

My belly might grow.
My waist expand.
My neck disappear.

I will have to get all new clothes to fit a larger frame.  Hell, right now I can still wear clothes from High School and that was over 20 years ago.

Damn, What do I DO?

Maybe I could mix them all together into a big bowl labeled as "Dad's Mix!"

Well,  for now I will just have to wait and see what you all suggest.

But Right now,  I am going to go get me a few Mini 3 Musketeers.

Emphysema, Cigarettes OR Me?

Anything at Anytime goes in a totally out there mode.

I am going to beat Emphysema and Nicotine!

As you read this I am at least 12 hours into a triple Anti-Depressant regime my Dr. and I came up with to help me stop the thing that has slowly been Killing me for 20+ years.  It (they) will Kill me sooner rather than later if I don't Stop.  So We are trying something a tad different than the usual take this drug and see what it does and we will go from there.

You wonder or ask where I am going with this, I don't know either.  All I will ask is to just keep an eye out for what I write because if I can come up with some of the things I have with no influence...... Just Imagine what might come out with being "Doped" up.

I will do my best to try and provide good stuff for you all to read.

No matter what happens in life everyone is faced with a do or do not decision to make somewhere along the line at least once.  I have had a few.  This one wasn't even a contest.

Take the drugs and see if it helps or continue on my path of self destruction.  I will put even money that Most people will make the same choice I am.

I started my first few pills about 1 1/2 ago (as I am typing) and already I can see it is making my mind muddle a little and this all seems to make a repetitive statement over and over.

I will do whatever I have too, whenever I have too.

So wish me luck and Now might be a good time to throw ideas out for me to think about and see what this drug induced haze might bring out.  Some of it could be a blast and really get interesting.  Get the ideas out here and let us all see How Crazy I can get.

Thanks for your Patience and Understanding.
