There are times when you just want to call your mom
Sat May 12, 2012 6:59 PM EDT
My mom has been on my mind a lot this past week, but it had nothing to do with Mother's Day. A week ago today I fell down a flight of steps at work. I landed hard, directly on my shoulder dislocating it. I spent several hours at the local ER with a coworker who brought me there. …

Kickstarter: A new way to pay it forward
Wed Apr 18, 2012 11:21 AM EDT
A little over a year ago a good friend of mine generously assisted me at a time I was very broke. She would not hear of letting me pay her back and even asked that I not bring up the subject again. Since then my financial situation has improved some and as I could not pay it back …

A Joyful Noise
Thu Apr 12, 2012 8:15 PM EDT
For a brief moment yesterday I was joyful. A musician I follow on Twitter, @WeeLaura, had recommended the group Alabama Shakes. As I am always looking for new music and am particularly fond of independent musicians, I checked them out. I listened and was happily transported. The …

Interview with Indie Singer/Songwriter Jennifer Haase
Wed Apr 11, 2012 11:23 PM EDT
I met Jennifer Haase on Twitter shortly before she released her second CD “No More Invitations” in July of 2011. We became friends even before I became a fan of her songs. At the time I was a little broke and couldn’t afford to buy it. When I finally h …

A Gift of Song from Jennifer Haase
Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:54 PM EDT
It was as if the music demanded my attention, first subtly and then more overtly. I stopped the game I was playing and listened… The music to which I am referring is the newest CD from “indie” singer/songwriter Jennifer Haase, “No More Invitations.” …

Five Years Later... Fresh Grief... Father's Day
Wed Jun 16, 2010 8:06 AM EDT
Every year since my Dad died I think, it will be easier this time. It’s not. The day approaches, the anniversary of his death, and I find myself getting quieter. I go inside myself and I grieve like it happened yesterday.

I miss the smell of bacon wafting up the stairs on a cold morn The scent woke me better than an alarm I would descend the stairs, still sleepy. The sight of Jesus beckoning me With an exposed heart and open arms as Mother Mary was assumed in the adjoining frame

Time slips away
Wed Dec 16, 2009 7:28 PM EST
I have been very cognizant of time these past few months. It seems to be slipping by so quickly. I wish some days that I could stop it or at least slow it down some. There is always such a rush to get somewhere or to get something done.

Book Review: "True Porn Clerk Stories" by Ali Davis
Tue Dec 15, 2009 4:24 PM EST
At some point in our lives we have all had to do a job that we may have thought was beneath us or somewhat distasteful. A job we took out of necessity rather than desire because, unfortunately, the bills don't pay themselves.

What Gives you Hope?
Wed Jul 8, 2009 2:58 PM EDT

Hope Heals: Making a difference one person at a time
Wed Jul 1, 2009 6:46 PM EDT
There is so much truth in those two words "Hope Heals." When all else is lost there is still hope, if only for a better tomorrow than today. Without hope, we would surely all sink into total despair.

Good News Wednesday: A walk on the shore of a "Great" Lake, Superior!
Wed Jun 10, 2009 7:18 PM EDT
I am a Minnesotan born and raised and am used to taking crap about the cold winter weather. Whenever there is a Vikings home game, the announcers never fail to make mention fo the cold weather. They should be here now... A perfect 68 degrees, sunshine with just a few clouds.

Good News Wednesday: I'm on Vacation!
Wed Jun 10, 2009 12:12 PM EDT
Now you are probably saying, "No big deal!" Well for me it is because I haven't taken a vacation where I actually went somewhere to relax in I don't know how many years. My time off was always spent on something that had to be done, usually for family.

It's the end of the world as we know it...
Sat May 16, 2009 12:56 AM EDT
A number of years back, in the 90's, a local radio station here in the Twin Cities one weekend played the song "It's the end of the world as we know" by REM on a continuous loop. If I recall correctly, I think it was the DJ's protest at a format change.

A Radical Notion
Mon Mar 9, 2009 11:19 AM EDT
It's been a while since I wrote. There are a lot of reasons why, but the best one is that I didn't feel I had anything new to say. I didn't just not write here, I didn't write. Some of you will understand what that's like.

Comments & Feedback
Wanted to say hi, and I hope the new year brings good things your way, azsky :)
"Fly" by Tiffany, the 80's teen singer. Though when I checked it on myspace it said, "Getting Together".
The lyrics are,
When I was young
I never had no rules
I could do anything
As long as I believed
It's been a long time
I made it through the rain
You brought back everything
And I have found my wings
I can fly again
I found my heart
Waiting with you
A love that's true
I feel so alive
I can fly again
No letting go
It's where I belong
A love that's strong
For all of my life
Remember the times
I looked for brighter days
Hoping that things would change
And turn it all around
Now that you're here
I can see everything
Ride on the joy you bring
And lift me off the ground
I can fly again
I found my heart
Waiting with you
A love that's true
I feel so alive
I can fly again
No letting go
It's where I belong
A love that's strong
For all of my life
I have not had time to read your articles, but I will. The pictures you have in your articles are amazing.
Heya Azsky13,
Hope I didn't offend you in some way on my article. I'm pretty new to writing articles and especially moderating them. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me. Again, I wasn't trying to make anyone angry or shut down the discussion I just didn't want it to get carried away like I've seen so many others get taken.
