The Seeds We Sew

Hello all, Helpful Hank Here, Well another year has come and gone for me. A year that has been filled with many challenges but with much hope. Friendships hanging by a shoestring now on the mind and friendships stronger then every. Life is about change and believe me my life has changed plenty. For me this has been a time of growth. However, as the year came to a close I realized how much that I have gained and will gain as a result from this year of change. I have a birthday tradition that I… Continue

Wake Up Call

How many more musical eulogies are we going to have to endure before The Music Industry finally wakes up and again leads us out of the rut we have fallen into? The World is waiting for real change and I think The Music Industry who has taken us out of worse times than these should ignite the world in a way only they can. Our past has shown us that when times got tough, there has always been a great musical upheaval to get us through, Back in 1963, the world was caught up in the struggle between… Continue

Homosexuality

I received this comment to one of my blogs on the Gay lifestyle from someone called, “wingspan cc”. I responded to their comment. Wingspan cc: “I am against homosexuality purely because of anatomical reasons. All of our body parts are to serve a specific purpose and two people of the same sex exercising sexual intercourse can’t fulfill that principle. I agree that love has no gender. Your thoughts???” My response: I understand your concerns about the anatomical aspects of homosexuality. I sh… Continue

My Thoughts on Michael Jackson

I was reading on quite a few sites today how depressed alot of people were about the death of Michael Jackson. You may feel sorrow or sympathy, but not be depression. His life and legacy should be celebrated in all that he accomplished in his time here on earth. Michael Jackson lived his life exactly as he chose. Anything that he did were his choices. He made no excuses and really didn’t have to. His contributions to music and the world will be experienced for generations to come. It’s the kind… Continue

The Plea

Please love one another and give Hope for a better future. Forget yesterday for it is dead and gone, Today will not last as long as we would like, Tomorrow is nothing but a thought on a note pad never easily predicted. Life is Short. We all know that. We have all seen it or experienced it either by someone we know or something we heard about. Yet, we still go on as if nothing matters except our own selfish desires. Until it affects us directly, we will continue to believe it only happens to some… Continue

My Thoughts On Gay Marriage

When I think about my rights as a Gay Man and the rights of others in this country, I can’t help but wonder why there is any question or controversy about my right to marry. Everyone should be allowed to fall in love with, and in time, marry the person of their choice as opposed to a person chosen for them. Hearts don’t know gender, color, religion, or even age. All it knows is how it feels. That is the basis of any relationship. It’s a natural feeling of attraction. Yet, somehow, there are peop… Continue

Stress Management

A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I h… Continue

People Come Into Your Life For A Reason

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on… Continue

A Senior Moment In Thought

I was at work listening to a girl talk about wedding plans and she finally. Out of total frustration said, “All I want is a traditional wedding!” Those words resinated in my mind and followed me through the rest of my day. I just couldn’t let them go. I began to think of my own situation in life and what that phrase, “traditional wedding,” meant to me. The “traditional” has long been based on the notion of male-female couple (because we are supposed to procreate to maintain the human species.) G… Continue

Next Stop Iowa

Next Stop Iowa Hello All Helpful Hank Here, I would like to talk about a subject that I feel personally connected to. That is the decision just handed down in Iowa and Vermont to allow same gender marriage. The decision to allow same gender marriage in Iowa and Vermont is a victory for all. For me personally it is validating. I have to say I was a bit surprised at the out come. No offense to Iowa but I have never really thought of it as a progressive state. If Americas heartland can come to… Continue

Helpful Hanks Advice and Handy Hints, Deals and Bargians: Re-thinking our jobs Bolg Post #6

Hello all, Helpful Hank Here, Today I want to talk about Reinventing how we make our income. Here in the valley the unemployment rate has jumped to 10.3%.
