I know I have asked this question before and posted on it, my Past even tho I don't want it to has chained me up in so many ways. Well I am trying to start a new, I have moved in to an apartment that si supposed to help me express myself even more. I am going to be able to grill again something I have loved to do , Iam going to do some more research into it to, for I might be getting a smoker/grill . But I keep thinking other than that who am I I mean really ?
Well I am person who loves music yes as I had stated in my first blog about myself. I am using it even more now than ever. Mostly powerful music that creates a type of anger one which can gear you up for a battle not a fight. To explain it more I guess I have to say that I also love to play with swords and feel I was born in the wrong era . If I could get away with it I would kill, but not just to kill, to change things in the world today. If it is good for everyone I would do it, not for my own gain. I do live with anger right under my skin, and feel that I need to find someway to get it out of my system. I know goto a gym etc. well I am working on that a bit. It is still hard for me tho with not liking to be in groups, I really need support in that.
I still feel unwanted at times, and lonely even when I am around people who love me ( or at least claim they do ) .I could cry and say "why does Life have to be so had ! " but it is no good to just turn over and die. I will continue to fight. no I do not have nay close friends near me , but I have some wonderful friends out in cyber land lol . And someday hope to meet up with one or two of them. So am I better off than I was the first time I asked myself this question ? Yes I believe so , it is a slow but sire path I am taking and I have to say that I am ok with that as long as I keep it going forward and not backward.
So do I dream ? Yes I do , I day dream as well ;-) . I love to be the hero who helps out and puts the bad guy in their place. Mostly I use my dreams to blow off steam and control my anger. I used to go off so easy before , but now I take my time and will choose my form of expression. I am quiet, but when you get to know me I will do my best to make you laugh. I always bend over back wards for friends and do my best for them with what I can . I am weird yes but sometimes you need to be in order to survive. I am me and hope the real me will keep coming out day by day. So there you have it a little more on me lol . Only time will tell how well life goes for us all and for me how well I can become the person I need to be which in the long run is the person I want to be.

The Protector Chapter 1
1
Chapter 1
"Where's my protector?" kept echoing through his head as he patrolled the given area in his stinger. The year was 3028 and the world was no better off than it was when the countries formed the unity of the world. They thought that if the police forces had one law for the planet that crime would slow down, they were wrong.
You see by doing this it took awhile for the WPF ( World Police Force ) To make up their minds. Giving them the power to become universal made them into politicians, and that of course meant elections and rule voting. "rule voting ha!" he thought as he continued to ponder how in this world he could help the unfortunate, being the government still hadn't. While the WPF was counseling on the problem of world security they quickly passed a law which help ex-military men gain wealth and power for themselves.
The law stated that any military personnel who left the forces with honorable discharges could start a personal police force, and charge for their services. This of course meant that the wealthy would be well watch over, but the common man had to work hard for his safety. These men were called "Protectors."
Ruke was one such protector who worked for a sector in the United States. He was just leaving a capture site in the slums of a small city when he heard the child say that fraze. It stuck in his head and wondered how he would answer next time. Ruke had just started in the organization and didn't have the money to start his own for the underprivileged. He was only sixteen when the Protectors were introduced as a crime deterrent, and remembers seeing a young man ask for help in an armed robbery. As he watch the young man get shot the protector stood by and watch.
When the media got involved they asked the protector why he didn't help? he said" I wasn't on his payroll." That stuck in Ruke's mind all the time , and he vowed to do right by those who could not afford the protector and were slipping through the cracks of the normal police force. Every protector owned his own stinger from the start, and Ruke was no exception to the rule. His stinger was an old model 3020 death marcher, it was called that because of the symbol of the grim reaper on the hood. Ruke made his into a 3d image and installed a 312 tommy to it for his power dives in the middle of the gang wars. He became well known as the grim one because of it and knocked down gang crime in his sector fast.
"Grim one this is the ghost, are you by your com?""Yea I'm here." The ghost was Slater, Ruke's best friend, and a believer in what Ruke wanted to see happen for the less fortunate."Are we going to get together at Bill's Babes or not?""I'll be there with bells on." "If you go in that way Bill will throw you out!"Always taking things to literal thought Ruke, But he wouldn't do a thing with out Slater who is one of the best wing man in the business. When there is a bomb scare you want him by your side. Funny thing is when there is a riot he always wants Ruke by his.
2
Bill's Babes was the local hang out of the protectors who worked for the big wig retired officers. Ruke liked it because everyone there was hard working like him, there were the few exceptions to the rule who slacked off but they kept their mouths shut in there and never spoke out of turn in fear they might get thrown out, and Bill who was a retired protector would not have them in there again. What made it real special were of course the "Babes", beautiful women who if you didn't treat with respect you lost your chances of ever going back in and seeing them again."ok, let's see who I can recruit tonight " Ruke thought as he enter the establishment. Just as he got thru the doors he heard a yell " Ruke! get over here!" It was Slater, who had found the most beautiful women in the place and was at a table waiting.
Ruke sat down and looked at Slater with his usual face as if Slater was calling all the shots and should not be. "Well are you going to introduce us Slater?" Said one of the women sitting down with him. " Oh yeah , Ruke this is Patti and Mandy, they are new at Bill's." Ruke smiled and said "Hi" Patti was a looker, she was 5'6" tall, blonde hair and crystal blue eyes that would cause anyone to lose their mind. Mandy was also very nice to look at she was shorter and had blonde hair as well. " Hey guess what Ruke! They are twins!" "Really?" " yes" the women said in unison and both laughed. Slater and Ruke looked at each other and laughed as well. "You know Ruke I think Mandy will go far! She seems to have all the right stuff to make it in this world today." When Slater says something like that Ruke knows he has picked her out of the two of course.
"Well Patti how long have you been here at Bill's?" Ruke asked her. He was glad Slater chose Mandy because he wanted Patti anyway, to at least get to know." Not long" she replied with a smile as she sipped her drink." Why did you decide to work here?"" Well, I have known Bill for quite a while and believe in the protectors, so I figured why not work for Bill." "hmmm you believe in the protectors?" " Yes at least those who want to help everyone and are not in it just for a paycheck." (Oh) thought Ruke and he looked towards Bill at the bar, Bill caught the look out of the corner of his eye and turned to Ruke and smiled as if he knew what was going on." Well is this your only job?" Ruke asked Patti. " For the moment unless someone asks me to do something worthwhile ."
"Enough business talk!" Shouted Slater." We are here to have fun so let's have fun!" Patti turned to Ruke and said " why not? I am not working tonight anyway." So they talked and drank and danced. Ruke will never forget that night and made a point not to forget Patti, and she in turn made sure Ruke would not forget her, for before the night was over she gave him her phone number and told him if he can think of something worthwhile to call her, even if he didn't. Because of that night's events he did not get to try and recruit anymore protectors to help him start his own station, but figured there would be other nights.
3
The next day Ruke went on patrol as usual and could not stop thinking about Patti, he vowed when his station was opened he would hire her as his communications officer, you don't have to have military training for that, just a six week course. The section of city Ruke was given was always a bad place and when they saw his stinger the people thinking of causing trouble stayed away. You see Ruke didn't care if the people he saw in trouble were on their payroll or not he would help, even tho it has gotten him in trouble a couple of times with his boss. "You are out there to help our customers! If you get hurt helping one of them I am out of money!" Ruke didn't care and picked his interference, and made sure people didn't know he got into trouble for it.
The radio rang out "Ruke you there?" "yeah what you got?" " A panic button at the Watson place, can you handle it?" " Yup on my way." It didn't take him long to get there, and when he did he saw Mr. Watson on the ground in front of his house, bloody and dazed." Are you ok sir?" Ruke asked, " yes I will be alright" " what happened?" " I don't know really, I was walking up to my house when bam! Someone hit me from behind then in the front as I fell down." " Did they get anything?" " Just my money in my pockets, oh and my pride" Mr. Watson said with a little smile trying to make sure Ruke understood he was ok. " well you should have that looked at, shall I call the medics?" "No, I will be alright, I just need some help inside." " I should try to find the person or people involved in this." Ruke said with concern trying to get Mr. Watson to go to the Hospital. " Don't worry ten to one it was someone who needed the money for his or her family."" Mr. Watson you sure you don't need treatment?" "yes I am sure, I will sign whatever you need me to ok ?" "Well I will call this in anyway." Ruke picked up his mic, " Base, Ruke here." " go ahead" " found Mr. Watson down, he is refusing treatment will have him fill out the proper forms and will also be here to monitor him for a while." " received, over and out." as Ruke turned to Mr. Watson he found him smiling, "Good we can talk then, we haven't talked in awhile."
Mr. Watson brought Ruke into his home, He was a kind old man who loved to hear about adventures in law enforcement and remembers stories about Policemen and how it used to be. He would tell Ruke about the old days and Ruke would tell him about his adventures. "Well now how goes the station?" " Not as fast as I would like sir." " oh why is that?" " Well funds are hard to come by and I have to ask my fellow protectors just right in order to convince any of them to turn to me when I am ready, I don't know what I will be able to pay them and most of them are here for the bucks" "really?" "Don't get me wrong they are good at what they do and most believe in what I believe in, but they want and need money to survive, some have families." "Well we can always start collecting funds you know?" "we?" "well I know a lot of people like me who believe very strong in what you want to do, and could consider it an allowable tax to help those unfortunate."
4
Mr. Watson knew what he was talking about his home was in a very bad part of town and for the most part people who live there left him alone because he tried to help them himself. Every weekend he had a huge cook out or cook in depending on the weather and had the people from his area come to it, the unfortunate who did not have enough to make ends meet. Many a time Ruke would show up to help serve people. His home was full of old beautiful things and he stated a long time ago he would not leave because he grew up there and this was a family home and his people needed him." Well Mr. Watson if you want to help who am I to stop you" He said with a smile for he knew Mr. Watson's reply. " That is right young man you can't stop me, I am your elder and you have to respect me!" They sat and talked about the old days over some tea and biscuits.
Later that day on a break Ruke desided to call Patti, "hello?" "Hi Patti it is Ruke" "Ruke how are you?" " I am good, are you working tonight?" " Yes." " Oh I thought maybe we could go out some time?" " Well Ruke why don't we talk about that tonight on my break." " Ok I will see you at Bill's then. " " Ok bye." " Bye." Ruke felt happy that Patti wanted to see him tonight and talk about going out. He hoped that it wouldn't be too busy so they could talk.
Ruke showed up at Bill's to be greeted by a warm smile, It wasn't Patti or even Bill, but Kathy, Bill's lady who help him run the bar and patched up the protectors who came in after a brawl or battle during the tour. Kathy was retired like Bill, but she was a doctor instead of a protector, that is how Bill and Kathy met, he had just stormed a building where he found out a gang had just killed their hostages and without a care in the world he went in blazing! Bill was one of the old school protectors who acted more like the police of old, caring about people more than a pay check. When he went to the hospital he was met by a doctor who told him off for running in like he did, when the doctor found out why she went up to him and kissed him, ever since they had been together.
Kathy was a beautiful woman, about six or seven years younger than Bill but beautiful eyes that steal your soul, and she holds the caring of the world in her heart. " Hello Ruke, looking for Patti?" "Hello you sweet thing you, yes I am " Ruke repiles with a wink in his eyes. "Now darling don't let Bill hear you he just might come out of retirement and take you on!" Kathy laughs as she says this, Ruke loves to flirt with Kathy because of her good nature and kindness, and he knows Bill well enough to know that it is ok for him, but many a protector has tried and gone to far and Bill has put them in their place! " Well Patti is out back, but I will get her for you." "Thank you Kathy."

As she leaves Bill comes out from the storage room with a case of beer." Ruke ! how the hell are ya!" I am fine Bill and you?" "Well if it wasn't for Kathy I probly would be six feet under! but she takes very good care of me so I am still kicking!" Just then Patti comes out from the back room. " Hello Ruke, I have a break in about ten mins can you wait?" " Sure" Bill watches the two exchange looks, just then Kathy comes up and puts her arms around Bill and smiles as she too watches the young couple. " Oh hell Patti, Take your break now, and take as long as you need." "Thank you Bill!" Patti says with a smile.
As the couple sit down at a table Kathy comes over with a bottle of wine and some glasses. " complaments of Bill" They smile and poured the wine. Ruke Told Patti how he wanted to start up his own protection angency and how it would help the under privledge. Patti seemed to be quiet interested, after explaining all the details Ruke asked the question he had wanted to ask of her, "Patti, would you come work for me as a communicator?" " I would love to Ruke, is that all?" "Well no,..... would you... what I mean is could we..... start seeing each other as well?" " I thought you'd never ask! Yes Ruke I want that!" " I am very glad Patti" Ruke says with a smile.
" You know Ruke Bill said we would make a good couple." Both of them look at Bill who has a very big smile on his face and they laugh." This means I want to help you with the angency more, more than just a commincator, I want to help you build it from the ground up!" " I would love that Patti, with you at my side I feel I can begin right now!" "Then lets do it!" " ok you're on!" They toast their decition and start to plan putting the agency together.

This means I want to help you with the angency more, more than just a commincator, I want to help you build it from the ground up!" " I would love that Patti, with you at my side I feel I can begin right now!" "Then lets do it!" " ok you're on!" They toast their decition and start to plan putting the agency together.

We also can't forget that some people try harder than others.

My Little Project
Ok I am going to see if I can do this lol , I am going to try and add some pics to this blog. Hopefully you have read my blog titled "Is This A Sign ?" if not this is where it is
http://oldmanbill.blogspot.com/2013/09/is-this-sign.html
Well as I said in it I would blog about what I have gotten with the money. Ok I decided that I would buy two pieces of wood to do some burning on, but first I needed to ask my father in law what his favorite old car and old truck is. You see I wanted to make an x-mass gift for him out of these two pieces of wood ! Ok so he tells me a 1956 Chevy ( I believe he was talking about a Bel - air ) and a 1936 Stewart Truck. So I go on the internet and find two pics
the 1956 Chevy.
I love working with wood and will have a blog later on about the woodshop I used to run out of my house years ago. I hope to have one again some day. But I am starting to get off the subject lol. So now that I have these nice two wood burnings I take it one step further and paint them. The 56' Chevy I used two mediums , one was acrylic paint and the other was ink, the ink was actually what you could call preset, in other words what I did was took some ink and let it start to separate so I had a thick base to work with and used a brush instead of a pen. It is called "sun - up blue" and the paints where just white and a metallic color called gun metal grey. It was supposed to be metallic silver but it was put in the wrong spot at the store and I didn't realize right away until the brush had already hit the wood. Yes I was not paying much attention at the time.
The 36' Truck I just used the paints and at this time I left the grill with the wood color instead of filling it in. I don't know for sure if I want to go all the way and fill it or not. Once I am done with both of them I will be putting on a couple of coats of polyurethane. Then placing some eye screws with fishing line so they can be hung up on the wall.
Now I know that my father in law won't see this because one; he does not have a facebook account. And two; he only goes on the internet to look up car parts lol so anyone connected with him I do ask that you please do not say anything to him! remember this is for x-mas ! I hope you enjoyed reading this blog as much as I did making it and the wood burnings !

and the 1936 Stewart Truck
Now all I need to do is make a template to use from these pics and transfer it to the wood with carbon paper. So I carefully trace them out and do the transfer. After that I get to the fun part ! The burning !

So The Goverment Is Shut Down
Well here it is 12:19 am and I am listening to C-SPAN. And what do I hear ? A lot of double talk from everyone of the people in our government. One blaming the other for the shutdown . Gee what should we do ? Well first off everyone of them should be voted out as soon as possible! While we are in shutdown everyone of them should be docked pay for everyday there is no government. It is their job and they are not doing it.
The more I think about it there should be a law where we can impeach each and every one of them for non-performance. Let's start to go one further, Let's start to bring jobs back to the USA and stop giving other countries our money. Also we need to remind these people in government they work for us ! They are not our bosses ! They are only there because we the people voted them in office.
Now with a lot of this said why will we never see any of this happening ? Because there are too many greedy people who make too much money and will do anything they can to keep making as much money as they can and leave the rest of us in the dust. I can see why the rest of the world sees us as money grubbing fat lazy people . Not enough of us have gotten up and done anything to change anything , Yes I am just as bad most of the time. I have my demons that force me into situations that can cause me to hide from my duties. I know that can be looked at as a no excuse reason.
So what do I do ? Well this is the only thing I can think of at this time to do is just blog and hope I can get enough people to think and maybe start a change. Bottom line who do I think is at fault for this Shutdown? All of them , both sides, and yes you can add all those big wig company owners who want to stay greedy and make as much money as they can. My biggest question when is enough, enough ?

Is This A Sign ?
I was going to write a blog about used too, I think I had written one already , as in used to play guitar, used to do artwork, etc. Well Today I got a nice surprise. You see a long time ago we used to have a bank account with BOA ( Bank Of America) . And they had a funny system of making huge overdraft fees by taking a list of payouts and instead of taking them by date, they took them by size. So if you had three for $25.00 and one for $75.00, they would take the $75.00 first then the $25.00 afterwards, which meant of for some reason you only had $75.00 in your Account then you would get hit with three overdrafts instead of one. This caused a lot of people to have accounts way into the negative.
Well they finally got taken to court about this over a year ago , and they lost. We thought that because our account was left in the negative that we would not get any money from them. But low and behold today in the mail we got a check ! Ok now let me drop back a bit lol I guess I got carried away with this lol. For a little over a week I have had my facebook deactivated and those who know the wife have not said anything as in where am I . Well for the past couple of nights I have been thinking about what can I do to get out of this huge slump I am in? I mean I am trying to reinvent myself so I can feel better about me. I know I am the only one who can do that.
One night I went on a drinking binge ( not a good idea ) . It did help me get some of my feelings out tho. I am realizing that I have to do things for myself to feel better even tho there are some things I can not change. I was thinking of dying my hair pitch black , going monotone again ( expressing no feelings what so ever I have done that before) . And of course when you have a racing mind it can think of all sorts of things. I realize in my marriage I might not have the passion I need but I do have love. So I guess that is going to be a hard road still for me, but if I can put that on the back burner somehow and just keep going forward with other things I used to like to do maybe I can start to finally do better !
Ok back to here and now ! I am looking at this check ( which was for $182.00 ) as a good sign, an omen to go for it ! We decided to split it right down the middle so I have $91.00 in which to do what I want ! And I think I am going to write about each purchase and why as well ! I haven't bought anything yet, but will be soon, maybe tomorrow or tonight, but like I said I will be writing about it when I do. I feel good about it too, all our bills are up to date and I am ready to start fresh ! One thing I will tell you I am buy from some money I had saved before ( because I can lol ) Is a rock hammer, I am going to start a new hobby of collecting certain kinds of rocks. More on that in future blogs as well :-)

My Trip To Walmart
Ok I am writing a little differently today. I thought I would try and do a period piece lol. Well tomorrow I have a birthday party to go to ( my granddaughter's ) so I needed to pick up a card. I also have a three gallon fish tank at home waiting for some fish! I have decided to go back to my old way of relaxing by having some of those enjoy full creatures around. Well the closest place to go here is Walmart.
My Son needed to get a birthday gift as well so I went by Burger King where he works to pick him up. I got there a little early and decided to try their new fries called "Sater", now I don't know if it was the fries or the sprite I had but one of them played havoc with my intestines! You see I only drink water, sometimes milk but have cut soda out for a long time. So I don't know if that is what hit me wrong of those new fries. I will have to try them again without soda to be sure.
We get to Walmart and I figure I would go to the pet department first and what do I see but the same sign I had seen for three days "At This Time We Can Not Sell Any Fish" . Well I decided to go to the service desk and find out what is going on . I asked a person there and they did not know so I had them ask a store manager. Well come to find out all of their fish are sick and they are waiting on medicine for them. I tell you that is not good business. I know what probably happen. They probably got some sick fish and only used one net for all the tanks and now all the fish are sick. Having helped build the live animal department in the Berkshire Museum and then worked in there for a year even I know you should use separate nets for each tank you have.
Ok so that idea was shot down. I went and got a card for my granddaughter which I think she would like and ended up bumping into my other daughter and her daughter as well. I love my grandkids and always love to see them. My granddaughter came running up to me and gave me a big hug. That is one of the best feelings in the world to have a little one give you a sincere hug. I told her about the fish and what I thought happened and she agreed with me ( my daughter that is ). As we were walking thru the store my daughter ended up tripping on the floor, it had bubbled up. This is a Walmart which is being expanded to a super center! I am just glad she did not fall and hurt herself.
So I guess some time this week it will be time to go to another store to get some fish ( maybe petco? ) I will not get any fish from Walmart now that is for sure.
