"We should live everyday as if it were everyone elses last." Courage of Fear

This Nickelback song came to me through a beautiful friend on myspace. A friend who has indeed read my novel Courage of Fear and whom recently suffered such losses of her own we had a prayer chain going for quite some time begging God to spare her life and bring her back to us… oh, this beautiful young lady touched so many lives without ever really knowing it… how could she? She was in a coma. Yet thousands of us on myspace banned and rallied together, for one cause… and she was it. Oh, it...

Rest in hell, my torment friends…

I have a secret to share.

I know… whoat whoa.

I think we have gotten to know each other well enough I can confide in all of you. So are you ready? Here goes.

I murdered some close friends this weekend.

Gasp!

I know.

Why is she telling us such things?

I know.

Should we call the authorities?

Grab your coffee and take a seat and I will share my weekend tale.

Ready?

Okay then…

…The weekend started out like any other weekend. The normal boring stuff we never wish to see our favorite author doing… laundry...

From the mouth of babes…

Okay… it is monday. . . yepper, monday.

Some of you are probably already wondering, hey Barbara, where did all your blogs go?

Well, I am glad you asked… as some may already be aware I have another blog that centers around politics. It is case sensitive and I will post it here:

www.beboyer.com/Poliblog

This blog is not listed anywhere else… so if you like the politic blogs… you can now find them there. In the future I will announce when a new blog gets put up and on which site … or you can...

For that One moment…

The last couple days you would think I left seed out! I swear, not only on the bedpost… they are circling too. So many thoughts. So here we go… lets see what comes out, yes?

Yesterday my cyber-friend, Denny, left me a message on facebook that said:

"And WHERE is the new BLOG entry Lazy ?? d;-)"

Now of course first thing I did was smiled. I thought, ah, Denny missed my post… Then that little voice chirped… ah, no. He said you are lazy… then I went back to oh, shut the hell up… I choose to see t...

This time the vultures were right

How was every one's weekend? Grand I hope.

Mine was packed full of mostly boring stuff. That was until I got this ingenious idea to make a change. Come on ladies we all know what that means… probably even some men who have had any kind of long term relationships have yelled it out already. What is the top thing we do when we get bored or tired of ourselves (or realized all the time at the gym is paying off so well we have actually gained 7 pounds in a month) and decide to make a change? The...

On this day I choose love

I sat in thought for a long time this morning with my head down. Not due to the vultures, yet indeed a gnawing.

Last night could only have been more peaceful if I was stretched out under the night's star spangled sky on Palomar Mountain next to the grandfather cedar. There was no apparent reason for it. It just was. I accepted it and welcomed it.  It was a bit odd really. The past few day's blogs incited so much political debate and yesterday morning began with such political rage. . . and it ...

Bottom line? Our Govt has bankrupted itself. Period.

I know. I know. I know… you know… I am homicidal, again.

I am not sure about the rest of you but last night's Address to the Congress … wasn't that the President flipping many Americans off?

What little trust I had in this administration went straight down the stool with that speech. I did not see a coming together Commander in Chief… I saw if you think like I think and if you don't get your act together now.

For those that haven't been keeping up or for those that haven't been paying...

Drink up before you fire

I once read a book on Quentin Tarantino where one of his friends remarked that one had to be careful in a conversation around him… it may end up in one of his movies!…………. you know where I am going, don't you?

That's right my little crazies, and some of you may already know, if you are part of my circle (and obviously some who are not–stay with me. It will be clear soon) and we interact, you may very well make it into one of my blogs…………. Like this girl did today.

Now as an intro, let me share ...

America, home of the Free… you betcha!

K, I am late, late, late. I had a hard time with what I should share.

I know.

Can you believe that?

Here is what I finally settled on…

There was a point in time in our Country, prior to 1935, when folks came to this country for its greatness. My grandmother on one side and my great grandfather on the other side were two of those people. Now I don't know much about my great grandfather, I do know that my grandmother arrived on an over crowded boat from Ireland. The year of her arrival was 1910...

Paint day, just for fun

Okay, Okay I know it is a holiday. So, for all of you… do be safe and have fun and if you are one of those folks whose boss is a shit and you are working… well, have fun anyway.

I promised my friend Michael I would help him paint an apartment today… I know, I know, the life of a writer!… how glamorous, how exciting. I think he said the folks opted for green and brown (Michael is a contractor.) … having a hard time picturing that… heck, I will try to take pics and post them for you all later...
