Haiku...

Feelings that don't fit,
Leak out of the box sideways,
Unless we break it.

Playing with pictures....

Something that I used to do...

Something that I used to do was to take and post process pictures.  Here is today's try.  Taken with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 MarkII.  I bought this camera about a year ago and thought that I would get much more use out of it.  Unfortunately that wasn't the case. 

So, maybe as a weekly thing I'll take and post a picture that I find interesting.  They'll be post processed.  I use many different programs. Adobe's Creative Cloud, Corel's Paintshop Pro,  GIMP and Olympus's Workspace software to achieve effects that help.  

I'm trying to gain some consistency it my Life.  Hopefully, this is one of many things that'll help.

Love for all y'all.....

Maybe someone can title this....in the comments section please.

Way too long to be silent....

             It's been a very long time....




It's been a very very long time since I've posted anything to Road Rash.

I'm not a consistent person on the best days and many things had happened once I stopped drinking.  Many of these things were beyond my wildest dreams.
Starting with a major heart operation I became much more aware of my health.

What started out as a healing from the inside out I became much aware of my dysphoria.  Feeling feminine in a masculine body was starting to have disastrous effects on me.
And suicide became much more a real option.  I couldn't think of much else.  I stayed sober regardless and pulled back from posting to many of my old haunts.  i.e. blogger, twitter

I used to have a few steady followers.  I think that my coming out may have affected their feelings about me.  I'm not going to apologize or say sorry.  I will wish them well and will always have a moment to share with them if they wish.

So, why now?  Why return to a place I haven't been to in a long time.  Well, Facebook is a mess.
It's as bad as traditional network television.  I find that my addictive nature continues.  Stuck in the click happy world of Facebook is hell.  I'm probably the worst transgressor of reposting memes.

So, maybe it's time to just post those things I create here.  Leave FB to links and silly memes and
events.

Looking forward to some new pictures and anecdotes for all y'all.

With love and life!
