Okay, this is where I get jealous!!!

Sarah Palin (you know…the pit bull that associates herself with hockey-moms..<- TYPO!…*snicker*) will be getting a meeting with Henry Kissinger, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili, Ukrainian President Viktor Yuschenko, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh this week.

I don’t honestly know where to begin.

Let me start with this…I am utterly positive I would be more damn productive in meetings with these leaders.

Kissinger first, because he is THE guy. He’s like a living Confucius. Known to have one of the most eloquent and heavy hitting vocabularies, combined with rubbing shoulders with almost very world leader in the last half century. If you needed to to mentally prepare for arguments, debates, and conversations with the above list of leaders, Kissinger will always be on your top five most wanted advisers. The meeting with Kissing is a BOLD and very strong move. Kissinger is a liberal Republican, and could possibly be the foundation for all liberal republicans (sounds weird saying that). Anyhow, this guy is more likely to save the world than most presidents, and is documented historically as a peacemaker.

The leaders appearing following her meeting with Kissinger are at the center of a significant amount of political and humanitarian turbulence in the world. I am honestly not sure that woman is mentally prepared for meeting a group of men, of whom almost every one come from societies in the midst of socio-political upheaval…no small part of which is centered around feminist and religious (r)evolution. Add to this the fact that she is a US governor with zero experience in foreign relations. I am almost positive she’s going to have them autograph something.

I may start griping more…but for now…for your reading enjoyment:

and tragedy strikes

So many of my friends assumed that all these very old circle of friends started with Amtgard…nope…we were pretty tight long before…
…when they remember Micah, a brutal slaying…they remember those who committed that vile act…so many blame Amtgard, more specifically a few within the game…they were utterly wrong…place blame at the feet of insobriety and reckless indifference to self-control…the entire circle swam in it…and most of the circlewere barely able to doggie-paddle. When 30-40 people dismiss responsibility with themselves…with each other…collateral damage is a certainty…that collateral damage comes in the form of wounded and ruined lives.

Unfortunately…I never would have thought to have heard what I’ve heard and read what I’ve read.
That very large circle of old friends is again burdened with unfathomable tragedy…as I read about this I am just speechless.
On Monday June 23rd, an old friend I haven’t seen or heard from since Micah left us…this is just crazy…I just cant seem to wrap my brain around it…
…the news says the police saw the children laying in a bed covered in blood and when they kicked in the front door were forced to shoot Scott (he charged them). The blood all over the children was their fathers, not their own…and the cause of death in the children is likely being withheld. A lot of people are drawing conclusions about Scott where information about his children simply isnt forthcoming from the police.

My roomate is dating someone from the gang…she had forgotten that we had the same circles at one time, and was seeming a bit stressed and then realized I might have known Scott. Thats when she just let it rip…”Scott Montgomery commited suicide after killing both his children.” I dont think I’ve been sucker-punched so swiftly…I was kindof speechless. I had to think back on it. Scott?! “Bullshit” I thought…no way he did it. I read a couple articles(links below) and then realized that this was fucked up. I have (still) so many questions. How did the children die? How did the children die? and how the FUCK did the children die? I’ve never thought of Scott as being aggressive…HELL…he used to date one of my best friends back in the RHPS days.

I read another one of the gang’s blogs…this is just…god it’s weird. I think I am just going to do some heavy linking and stop now…I need a drink.

My Trusty Pair of Uzi’s

The title says it all. What?! Tony?! with….guns?!

Yes.

This pair of Uzi’s are as dear to me as my Sabres Cap. Why? Well…that’s the cool part. They are the means to an end. To what end?

They keep my dreams from getting too far out of hand.

When I was younger, I had serious night-terror problems. If you don’t know what they are, easiest to say that they are dreams that cause a person to go into a panic attack. They cause insomnia, schizophrenia, and loads of other stress related issues in people a lot more often than most realize.

Most people actually grow out of the problem, however with assistance the resolution to the problem is realized far far faster that without. What kind of assistance? Simple. Dream coaching. You may laugh now, but since learning the how-to’s, I haven’t had a night terror that put me even remotely out of sorts. Now, I am not talking about the removal of all nightmares ever. It doesn’t work that way. What the process does is either provide a medium for immediate resolution within the dream or reinforces the subconscious and stop scenarios that would cause panic altogether.

We’re talking about YOUR dreams. Your imagination, your fears, your ambitions. Your id. Your sub-conscious. You have to simply understand yourself a little and build on it. The process begins with finding an anchor. When you dream you’re going to try and find yourself wearing a certain piece of jewelry, certain clothes, a watch, a lucky rock…whatever…what it is doesn’t matter. Seriously, it should be something that doesn’t matter at all and wouldn’t help you in the least…even if you had MacGyver with you to get out of the situation. Something that just happens to be part of the picture you’re painting in your dreams.

From here, the foundation comes into being. You mind already knows it can create at a whim in the dream now. The next step is to simply make what you want in the dream. Learning control in your dreams is liberating. You can do what you want, when you want, where you want…and even with who you want **winkwink**. Your fears will always present themselves in your dreams, but now you’re capable of resolving your issues without therapy 😉

I know…it sounds hokey, but it worked for me, and a lot of others I’ve worked with on it. Questions? Give me a call and we can go over simple exercises to build on self control. They aren’t hard. Take care!
