This is a very intresting and cool video.It shows our known universe...every thing we have mapped or observed...and it shows the earth and our place in the universe.It is humbling and overwhelming .It is also a way for us to think about how we treat this world in which we live...a diamond in a rough,so to speak, the precious commodity that we take for granted.Either that or its just plainly a really COOL vid!!!! take your pick LOL

OK...my next new adventure! The weekend of Feb.5-7 will be a carving competition near here.I am going to go and enter and hopefully get some ribbons,will be good to have some ribbons as will add to credibility for my future success I will also put up a table there and see if I can sell anything .......as I have plenty left over LMAO .

Well the New Year is coming up very fast.Time for a little reflection and to look to the future as well.The past year has been one of so many ups and downs for me.As many of you already know.The show was a bust,but I am looking to the future and that looks good for me there.I lost a member in my family this year...but gained contact with some family again after a couple years of isolation because of that.So that is a good outcome.My creativity is at an all time high!! I am now a buisness owner that makes enough in his buisness that I need a full time job else where LMFAO!!!I have met a lady....lets see what happens there.The circumstances of our relationship are quite complex....only a few know what that means on here.Just let it be known I want a long term....I'm ready for it again.
All in all I think the oast year has been one of my best for quite sometime.I am thankful that things have gone the way they have for the most part.Now onto the next year......
My biggest resolution will be to quit smoking.I plan on doing that January 1.I am preparing myself and getting ready for it.It will happen!!!!!....damn I want a cig right now thinking about it.jeeeeeeeeez
I also resolve to get more focused on my art and carvings.I have this buisness and I intend on making it work(thru my hard work of course) I am no Donald Trump....so my success will be thru the sweat of my brow.I WILL figure out a better marketting plan for my artwork.
The next and last resolution will be to loose a little more weight and tone up.I am determined to do this as well.

I want to wish all my friends on here a Happy New Year.You all have special meaning to me and some I consider my greatest friends .Be safe and enjoy things while you can!!!!

luv,txn xxxxxx

I don't know if everyone knows the history of the NORAD Santa. I find it very encouraging and gives me a warm fuzzy when I read it.Enjoy!! And as Tiny Tim observed,"Merry Christmas ,everyone!"

In 1956, a Colorado Springs-based Sears store ran an advertisement encouraging people to call Santa Claus on a special kind of telephone hotline. Due to a printing error, the phone number that was printed was the hotline was actually for Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD). Then-Colonel Harry Shoup received the first call on Christmas Eve of 1955, from a six-year old boy who began reciting his Christmas list. Shoup then didn't find the call funny, but after asking the mother of the second caller what was happening, then realizing the mistake that had occurred, he told his staff to give Santa's position to any child who called in. Three years on, the government of the United States and Canada combined their respective national domestic air defenses into the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), but the tradition continued.Now major media outlets as well as children call in to inquire on Santa's location. NORAD relies on volunteers to help make Santa tracking possible.Many employees at Cheyenne Mountain and Peterson Air Force Base spend part of their Christmas Eve with their families and friends at NORAD's Santa Tracking Operations Center, in order to answer phones and provide Santa updates to thousands of callers. In 1997, Canadian Major Jamie Robertson took over the program and expanded it to the Web, where corporation-donated services have given the tradition global accessibility.In 2004, NORAD received more than 35,000 e-mails, 55,000 calls and 912 million hits on the Santa-tracking website from 181 countries. In 2005, more than 500 volunteers answered questions.In 2006 half a million calls and over 12,500 e-mails were handled from 210 territories.The site now gets well over 1 billion hits.

Failure is always an option.

Just got in from my front porch,where I built a fire in my firepit.Dark and chilly out.The warmth from the fire sootheing the body.The sheets of flames wrapping around the wood sootheing the mind.A time for contemplation.A time for reflection.A time for thoughts of past,present and future.Was anything answered? Were my troubled thoughts and fears cured though the meditation within the flames?No....but something about the primitivness and basic comfort that a fire has ,has a way of making things in one's life seem far less troubling.If only for a moment in time.
As some may know I have many things going on in my life right now.Some are fantastic .Others are scary,and still others are quite depressing.But my spirit always shines thru the darkness....and I will always remain on top.
I am looking forward to my show right now and it occupies virtually every thought!!!!Thank you to all my friends for their words of encouragement and all the crossed fingers throughtout the world on my behalf!!!!LOL
I was able to do 2 carvings today and they are awesome!!!!!!! I am loving this!!!!

luv,txn

I hate the fucking holidays!!!!
