GILGAMESH by Stephen Mitchell

Read this book for class Gilgamesh what a great read this was. Did not really expect to enjoy reading this but have to say that I'm in love with this book. Set like a poem to be read and a pretty fast read at that.
Gilgamesh a man who believes he can have everything he wants, especially with the women, the people of the village do not like this one bit and ask the GODS to send some help to stop him, send someone they do, his equal. Enkidu turns out to be his equal, his best friend, and his brother.
Together they are unstoppable they take care of things that need to be taking care of and when they take care of a situation they upset the GODS and that was something they should not have done.  So they take something very dear to Gilgamesh and now he is at a loss, a loss that sends him searching for answers. HOW DOES ONE DEAL WITH DEATH? This is what Gilgamesh is on a search for. 
What do you think of Gilgamesh?

Halloween

HALLOWEEN, man can remember when this day used to be fun, couldn't wait to go trick or treating, but now I love passing out the candy to the little one's. But these past couple of years have not seen that many costumes on these kids. A couple of years ago I had a bunch of kids that I seen with cool costumes, but last night I had more high school kids then I did little ones, not that I mind having these high school kids but love seeing what the little one's are wearing. 
Taking my niece out last night to go get candy did not really see that many homes passing out the candy, we probably went to maybe seven homes while she was with me. Then where her mom and boyfriend came and took over I went home to pass out candy, because I love passing out these things. We didn't get a lot of kids around seven-thirty was when we got more trick o treat kids to the house.
Why can't people celebrate this holiday anymore?



Been Awhile

So it has been a while since I have been on here, well not a while but a couple of years since I was on here, been busy with other pages. But since I am here now, I will try and post some stuff at least once a week if I can. A lot has been going on since I last posted, just have to say that I am happy in the direction of life I am heading towards and look forward to  a bigger life, a happier life, a life of change.
