Its been awhile since ive been able to actually write in person on the site. I miss it and glad to see that people are really active. Ive still been writing slowly but have no internet access. I am trying to piece together a longer than average writing for my style. I am really pleased with it so far and have exciting (for me) plans for it. I dont have a tittle for it yet, still searching.

The midnight mist brings here the bagpipe’s song
among many to guide the light to an always returning sun
lonely, black, dark, and cold doesnt bring the same meaning now
not used cautiously and casually spoken
not given they full respect they deserve
Those to indulge their pain, those who find themselves in the shadow of darkness make way to the great lakes of fire, teased and tormented by the memory of love only found in the arms of angels.

The somber songs follows until your new soul is born. Here the strong wind, a broken record, always with you to remind of the Hell that consumes your heart and the peace thats never been found. The Wind, here the Wind is the only you can trust. The Wind will tell you where you are and where you could be and where your not.
“Great and powerful wind can you show me what its like? The soft touch of love. Bring me a dream of love that has no end. Tease me of what ive never had. Torment me with the dream i fight so hard to gain.”

Her name was Sarah. Its always “Sarah”. Clenching my hand, it feels as if a dark room is lit up for the first time. The feeling of warmth is always with me but the details seem to fade away Here. Not like they used to. The Wind, my blessing and my curse, the bringer of light and darkness.

So hard to pull away from you

Like giving up smoking.

My addiction overwhelms me

I wanna give in to you.

My world spins out of control

I stand still while the earth hurtles below my feet.

Rushing through a torrent of emotion, over the falls of passion

to be dashed against the rocks of desire below.

The stars are like daggers in my eyes

when I look up to the sky.

The moon is so cold, like a frozen heart.

The falling stars, tears from my eyes.

I want ro press my lips against yours

and hold you in my arms tonight.

How can I break this spell you have me under?

We called it quits

but you still call me.

What spell did  I put you under?

I was eating a bit of lunch and found a reference to a friend right on the back of this sweet ride.  Enjoy TaTonka.

If this is any type of preview for what tech toys will be like in the future, I think ourselves and generations to come will be just fine when it comes to alternative learning tools.

Pretty amazing stuff, pay careful attention to the last example he performs

So after almost a year of having Vast up and running, the email registration system has been an on again off again debacle.  After some final configurations with my good friends at GoDaddy, the tubes are now unclogged. (For those of you less technical, that means that the emails are working).  So move that cursor on over to the right and click Register.  We’d love to hear from you!

Peace, love, and mad props Al Gore for giving up the tubes that power the world

Hey everyone!

I know I haven’t posted much over the last few months and that is no one’s fault but my own, however I plan to change that trend.  I have taken some time to jaunt down some ideas and goals that I have in mind for the site and would like to see implemented in the year 2009.  These are high level with a possiblity to be updated and checked off as the year progresses.  Please comment or add suggestions as you see fit.

1.   First and foremost will be getting an Exchange server up and running so the WordPress email system works from beginning to end and everywhere in between.

2.   At least one new layout change to keep the site fresh and new.

3.   A place for all administrators and authors to go for tutorials and information that they need to successfully navigate the site and feel comfortable enough to put their pencils to the site.

4.   Work on the integration of BBpress (Forum) into the site some more and get it all set up to where we have some valuable topics to comment and discuss on.

5.   Continue to stay current on all plug-ins and WordPress releases so our administrators and authors are always working with the latest and greatest tools.

6.   This is probably my biggest goal of all, and will deem the most difficult.  Since I installed the first version of WordPress and created Vast Reality, I have either used default themes (in the beginning) or other good looking themes that I have since then modified with updated backgrounds, borders, photos, icons, and text to my liking (like the one now).  The goal for 2009 is to build my own WordPress theme entirely from scratch and implement it so I can get feedback.  This will be a great learning experience for myself and a true test of my XHTML and CSS skills.

Like I said above, please comment or throw out new suggestions you would like to see on the site, I have a great desire to really start making this a more interactive environment.   Thanks again for everyone continuing to contribute their time and talents to Vast Reality.  Keep up the great work.

I dont know what it is with me. One day i feel on top of the world, nothing could be better. The next i wake up to gagging and continue all day long. I try to stifle it, but if i half way throw up it doesnt seem as bad for awhile. I always want to get fucked up (I know im exposing myself) and seem seriously depressed and i dont know why. Thats what is bothering me the most, that i cant find the reason why this is all happening. I may be blocking something i dont want to deal with? But what? Even when i take something to calm me down i get a headache and the gagging gets worse. I find myself with me head in my hands again. And i dont know why….. I havent been able to sleep in the past coulple days, I stay up and watch movies and hope to drift into sleep. My meds have been comprimised once again. My doctor doesnt practice at the same place and has been hard to find where he is to prescribe my meds and am running out of everything. I have allready ran out of one anti-depressant and one sleeping aid. Thats probobly what my problem is. I have one more anti depressant and one more mood stablalizer and seem to have doubled my dose to try and curve my mood. But it doesnt work. It took me two years to find the right cocktail of medicines that work for me, having these pills pushed on me that make me throw up 2 hours later. That really pisses me off. And i finally found it! And theyre going to try and fuck me again. FUCK! If i cant get what im dependent on as far as my meds, my life… will spiral down to a Hell…. that makes it impossible to breath. Im so sick of this i dont want to go there again. Its so cold alone, you find yourself just wandering in the darkness…. You protect your hope under a cloak, a ball of light, to make sure that no one tries to steal your chance.
