The Old Tin Shed

Again we find ourselves at the doorstep of history.  Decisions we make now will forever shape the humanity of planet earth.  We need to say there is no price we are willing to pay, no price is to high to protect freedom. There should be no government to strong or so right that it no longer listens to the will of the people.  We the people are more informed, more educated and unfortunately more afraid than any other generation in history.  The total wealth of human knowledge doubles nearly every decade, but the rule of dictators and despots remain. We are responsible we hold a moral responsibility to defend freedom no matter the cost in lives materials and men.  We need to be able to stand with our heads held high and talk about sacrifice and duty and how both bring about a better world for mankind.  We stand on the precipice of a new epoch. an Asian century where the poorest peoples in the world move towards and standard of living that not only ...

Interesting question  hey.  What do you believe, do you believe it in its true meaning that anything is possible and I mean anything.  Or do you subscribe that there will always be some limitation to how much we as humans can do. My response to this question as per usual is not as straight forward as it sounds.  You see I need to tie another concept to this and that is one of destiny.  I believe that anything is possible anything can happen if its destined to be so.  Now I know that sounds like a cop out but its not.  You see great men have achieved the impossible but it was their destiny to do so. Winston with his V for Victory Salute. Cigar in mouth of course The Prime example was an old man, who smoked cigars and drank to much, never even looked like he was destined to power.  I  am of course talking about Winston Churchill.  He was a man of destiny, everything in his past lead him to that point.  Then he d...

Hi all, Well today is about music and insane things that i have done in the past and I would do again in a heartbeat.  As I have stated in other posts I have owned some serious muscle when it comes to cars. Don't be fooled into thinking I didn't know how to drive them.  Far from it in fact, had professional race driving instruction and did test driving for a Ford Mustang race team.  I certainly know how to handle horsepower.  Most people drive cars by what the gauges tell you they are happy to cruise along quietly. For me its more than that, I become apart of the car as my concentration levels lift, I feel everything, every bump every vibration.  I come alive.  There is nothing quite like driving through each gear with the foot flat to the floor.  Flat changing with no lift off at all, to put a car onto 2 wheels with the harness biting at your body. You are literally on the edge .  The  heat the noise the smells, its a fantastic place t...

Yeah well this was my 6 week regular visit.  I get along well with my Psychiatrist, we have an understanding about me and my illness.  You see ever since I became sick, I have been willing to go through just about anything to get better. That means a lot of med changes, lots of withdrawal periods where I felt like dog poo.   He made an interesting comment today.  He said "you have been through hell, but you have never lost sight of the single goal to get as well as you can." I appreciate that because it has allowed me to do my job." In a nutshell, that's it isn't it.  That its not just giving up expecting the medications to make you well, its about an attitude and how far are you prepared to go.  The insight I have over my illness is borne of desperation, to be normal. Yuck there's that word.  I'm not normal, but I fit the norm now. We talked about my last post also.  About gain...
