Old Appalachia is deep in his veins,

engrained in his DNA

People call him hillbilly, but you know what? That's okay, he doesn't mind it,

he's not ashamed

He knows if he ever needs anything he doesn't have to go far to find it

His community is the best, thanks to the ties that bind it

I'll never fully get used to Idaho Winter storms

They get so deep in the bones sometimes

Even though it's insane,

it might cross one's mind, to set themselves ablaze just trying to keep warm

Last night I had a weird dream. In the dream I rescued a woman who was hiding (or trapped) in a cabinet beneath a sink.

Throughout the dream I got clues on how to find her, though why she was hiding (or trapped) to begin with was never made clear.

Have you ever been nostalgic for a decade you didn't even exist in?

Don't get me wrong, I generally love the decades I've lived in, 1980s through now, but if time travel were a thing, I can't say I would be against visiting 1975-78, or even the 1950s when Sun Records was fresh.

I am a firm believer that a person should be remembered more for their successes than their sins.

What Is Your Fashion Preference?

In High School I wore jet black, often.

Combat boots and a worn out leather trench coat I found in a second hand shop.

I even colored my nails black with a Sharpie, I can't really explain that particular choice other than I thought it was cool at the time.

I Love You (Poem)

The words "I Love You"

can feel like razors when they're hollow,

but when they're honest,

oh when they're honest,

they're the most healing salve on earth.

A change of heart isn't hypocrisy, hypocrisy is feigning beliefs and standards you don't actually hold.

I mentioned that because so many words get thrown around and manipulated, and this is one of the most abused in that regard.

Don't just be with someone so you don't have to be alone. Be with someone who sees your worth and adores your soul.

Funny thing happened, got a new follower on a social network, he liked a couple of my posts then I saw literally a few minutes later I had been blocked by that same person.

My only thought was how strange that is.

I wasn't even offended, just wonder who whizzed in his Cheerios. Has this happened to anyone else?

Being able to maintain friendships even in disagreement seems to be a dying art.

From an early age,Nathon had an obsession.

Music grabbed him by the soul, true story don't you know,

and even though he still hasn't made it down to music row,

His lyrics free as water flow every time he lifts his pen,or logs in,

He can't wait to share them again every chance he gets

He's got no regrets about the direction his dreams went, all in all it's been time well spent.

Good morning everyone,

I'm going to be looking for photography opportunities throughout the week. Any shots I get will be posted on my primary blog.

I am looking forward to sharing with the community here as always. If anyone has suggestions for the types of shots they want to see (nature, architecture, etc) I welcome those.

Caffeine is one of the most highly consumed energy boosting substances in the world.

A lethal dose of caffeine for most healthy people would be around 10 grams, though I've read (during my research for this post) that individual sensitivity may vary and underlying conditions can be a factor.

My point is, while caffeine can be greatly beneficial,it warrants careful moderation. I've read case studies of individuals who have overdosed.

It's rare, but my thinking is even one overdose is one too many.
