Here's a small taste of the book I've been working on. What do you think?
Summer days were meant for riding. Feeling the hot air flow over your skin, the smells of nature swirling around you; nothing to distract you, just you in your own head. I work a lot of things out that way. It’s peaceful, easier than talking to a shrink, and doesn’t cost nearly as much. Of course in my opinion, any day is a good day on a motorcycle: rain, snow, sunshine, heat, cold…I don’t care as long as I’m on two wheels. Yeah I’ll bitch and complain about being wet and cold, but I wouldn’t trade it for being warm and dry in a car. Even though this ride wasn’t technically a pleasure ride, I still allowed myself to relax and enjoy it. I had a few days before I had to deal with business, so why not, right?
The rumble of the pipes allowed me a sort of tranquility to melt into the bike, become one with it. I knew as long as I was on it, I could go just about anywhere I wanted, or get out of just about anywhere. In this case, I was on a job heading to Cortez, CO. I am a Runner. I make a living doing jobs reputable people don’t want to get mixed up in, or don’t have the resources to pull off. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not an assassin. I refuse any job that specifically requires me to find someone and kill them. Finding someone and bringing them back to the current employer is one thing, what that employer does to them after I deliver them is none of my business.
Since leaving Portland, the ride had been uneventful, but I knew that could change at any second. It was the nature of the beast, so to speak.
“Grey…you there?” came the voice in my ear.
“What do you want Jitters?” I replied briskly.
“You’ve got a tail. Thought you might want to know.”
“How far back?”
“A mile, maybe two. It keeps fading in and out, but it’s definitely on the ground.”
“Damn. What’s it look like ahead?”
“Let me get a closer look. Hold on a minute.”
My line of work pays well and has allowed me to make some “upgrades” to my body, one of them being implants in my head that work along the same lines as a cell phone, but without the dropped calls or the capability for someone to track me with a GPS. Jitters knows the technical stuff. It works so I don’t worry about it much…until it breaks. Jitters is one of the few people I trust, and is pretty handy with a computer, actually pretty much anything electronic. He’s been monitoring me via satellites he has hacked into, letting me know of any traffic problems or bad guys in my way. Most people don’t realize satellites can see every inch of the planet, despite what governments and mega-corporations want you to believe.
Jitters came back a minute later. “Clear the rest of the way to Green River, but looks like they have friends waiting on the other side of town. The satellite sig is identical.”
Interesting. I’ve ridden this route several times and knew there was a fueling plaza at the edge of town. If I could get there, I could figure something out.
I made my decision and replied, “Jitters, I’m going to pull in to that fueling station at the edge of town. Let me know if the other team starts moving in.”
“You got it Boss!” Jitters replied happily.
I made a mental growl and said, “Will you ever quit calling me that??”
“Probably not.”
I could hear the grin in his voice, and had a mental image of the smart ass look on his face. I couldn’t help but laugh, “Some days I wonder why I ever pulled your ass out of that fire.”
“That hurts Boss!” he replied, trying, and failing, to sound wounded by my dig at him.
I let the conversation drop and started planning my next move in my head. My peaceful ride was over, and probably would only get worse the closer I got to my destination.

Moving forward
Ever have a reality check hit you right in the face when the last vestige of something you worked so hard for is taken away? That's life telling you to let go of a "past life" and move on.
In 2006 I was finally able to buy a new (to me) vehicle with no help from anyone else. An '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I fought for over 4 years to keep it. Maintenance was always done, payments were never missed or late, and the insurance was always paid. I took pride in it. It was a symbol of my independence. It was my baby. It became like a friend. I know that sounds silly but for a long time it was the only stable and consistent thing in my life. My work took me all over the world, and I was never home more than a few days at a time, but the first thing I did when I got home was go for a drive, even if it was a short one. It was comforting.
Then I met someone who turned my world upside down (in a good way) and made me want to settle down, put some roots down, and have a real home. I left my job and moved to California. The Jeep was still my sanctuary, but slowly became less so over the years. More important things took it's place: family, work, life in general. Slowly, it became harder and harder to pay the bills and I knew the Jeep would need to go. It broke my heart.
The Jeep had sat in the drive for several months when I finally decided to go out and try to start it up. I tried for hours, doing everything I could think of to bring it back to life, but it had sat too long and the battery had died completely. I locked the doors and walked back in the house. Occasionally I would walk by and run my hand along the hood, and let the memories float in. That chapter of my life was closing. I could feel it. I just wasn't ready to let go completely.
Today, two gentleman came by to pick it up. They both made comments about how well it had been taken care of, and loved. As they drove away with my baby, I felt the last string of my old life cut away. It was hard. It still is. I feel like part of me is gone. Tears flow freely. This is hard. I want to just curl up and feel sorry for myself, hide away from everyone and everything.
Then I start thinking about it. This is the end of a past life. It's time to let it go and move forward. My home is here now. My life is here now. Maybe this is what I needed to finally come to terms with, where I am in life, and decide which direction I will take. Time to grow up just a little more. Trust me, I've fought growing up my entire life. I've tried to maintain the "I'll be a teenager forever" frame of mind. Maybe this was the little nudge (or smack in the head) I need to make me take another step forward.
All this over a vehicle? I don't think it's so much the vehicle as what it stood for to me. Maybe somebody is trying to show me I don't need it any longer. Who knows. I'm trying to take it as a good thing, a sign that it's time to make something new and better where I am, physically and in life. We'll see if it sticks, but here's to looking on the bright side.

Let's get physical
Sorry for the 80's dig there. Couldn't resist. :D
I finally got completely fed up with the weight I've put on over the past several years, more so since I had surgery in 2009, and decided it was time to do something about it. Back in late August, early September, my best friend and I started doing the Power 90 workouts. I loved it! Then, we ended up having to move at the end of September and my workouts went to the wayside. Tonight I plan to rectify that and start my workouts again. My wife has agreed to join me.
I'm going to try and keep track here, and will add recipes and cool information as I come across it. Wish us luck!

What would you do?
I've been trying to figure out a way to make a living (and make more money than I currently am) without having to work for someone else. Being that funds are not where they need to be to start my own business, I need to be a little more creative. I would like to get out of IT, but as of right now that doesn't seem possible. I've even thought about the possibility of throwing a "donate" button up to see how much I could raise. Crazy stuff, I know.
So, what are your thoughts or ideas? What would YOU do?

Music
Last week my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. I wasn't able to recover anything, including the 100+ Gigs of music I had. I was pretty upset. The only thing besides my wife that I love more than books, is music. It helps me focus, soothes and calms me. When something is bothering me, or I'm upset, or in a good mood, I want to hear music. Even at work I usually have music on. So you can imagine how I felt when I realized I'd lost it.
Being totally bummed about the loss, I started trying to figure out how I was going to replace what I had. Then I remembered I had let a friend at work borrow a bunch and asked if I could copy it back to my external drive I keep in my backpack. My friend told me he had some music there I could take if I wanted along with the stuff I had given him. Cool! I would at least get a few thousand songs back. I connected my drive and realized I had just hit the jackpot! Not only was I going to recover the 10-15 Gigs I had given him, I grabbed almost 100 Gigs of awesome music he had!
Now I'm sitting here going through the new stuff I got and some really awesome memories from my younger years are flooding back. Music is so powerful! I'm grinning ear to ear, my wife is smiling, and even our son is commenting on the awesomesauce I have added to the music library. It's a good day!

I didn't do it!
A friend sent this to me in email. Cracked me up!
NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR LIPSTICK!
Why would you even ask me that?
I am so insulted!
Every time something goes missing around here, everybody looks at me!

Since I reached the max level on my first WoW toon, I've tried to find one place with a list of ALL the dailies I could do. Yeah, it's kind of lazy but if someone else has already done the legwork, why shouldn't I take advantage of it? When Wrath of the Lich King was released, and I couldn't find a comprehensive list (at least a free one), I started keeping track of the ones I found in a spreadsheet. I'm sure I missed quite a few, but I had enough to keep me busy for the amount of time I had to play.
With Cataclysm, I was determined to get a more in-depth list, which I've put together along with links to WoWhead for further quest information on each one. The list is only for the new Cataclysm zones, and does not include the profession dailies. I think most of us have those down to an art by now. So, without further ado, here is the list I've created. Feel free to add any I've missed in the comments, and I'll get them added to the main post. Enjoy!

Trying something new
I've been thinking about this for a while and decided I wanted to do something different with my blog. I already have my more "techy" based blog, 365daysofstupidity.blogspot.com, that is my arena for ranting about funny and stupid things that happen at work, or are tech related. This blog is going to be more of the day to day variety of things that happen. I could post a story about my latest adventures in World of Warcraft on my hunter Roameeo, post a snippet from a book I'm supposed to be writing, write a personal review about a book I just finished, or just ramble about my day or thoughts. Who knows.
I just started reading a book called Storm Front (The Dresden Files)
. So far I really like it. I've been reading a lot of Young Adult books lately because most adult authors can't hold my attention. Series like the Ranger's Apprentice
have captured my imagination for 9 books so far, and I can't wait for the tenth to be released in April. Why can't more adult authors pull this off? I'm not sure, but until they figure it out, I'm going to keep reading from the Young Adult section.
Adventure, fantasy, and Sci-Fi are the genres I read the most, but I've been known to venture into other areas, depending on the subject. What do you like to read?
