    Its been years....
    .... years since I been here it seems. Changing computers and favorites don't get transferred and many sites I was regular at become lost. Well, I imported a bunch of favs to this Mac, so we'll see if I come by here much. Looking at the activity of my friends, I see only one update by Ky. Myself, of the social sites I've been primarily on Facebook. I got a twitter to keep up with my son, but he seemed to have quit posting there. MySpace has a few bands I follow updating alot, but my MySpacian-only friends seemed to have lost interest and quit posting, and even answering my messages there. Facebook drives me nuts with all the crap apps people throw at me, but the hide button is my friend I can hide the app and not my friends!

    Anyway, here I be, and I have email alerts for updates and posts to my stuff to let me know, and the fact I'm a bit of a last century guy, I'm on a couple message boards still.

    Cheers all!

    Immigration
    Its such a pain in the ass to try and cross borders to live legally. In the states the joke is you just need to go to mexico, learn a bit of Spanish, and walk north. Here in Australia, being surrounded by water, its a bit harder.

    So last week I filled out and turned in about 10 centimeters of paperwork to the immigration office for a temporary visa. I still have to get some other stuff in to them, but it takes time to get files and reports from the states and such. Anyway, lots of hoops to jump when doing something like this, and this is between two 'allied' western countries. When I was in line at the immi office, I wondered if they would deny me simply because I'm 'too white'. I'll update as events and news and such occur.

    Yes, beer, that lovely mix of barley malt, hops, water, & yeast with maybe other stuff mixed in! Be it the great mega-brews of Anhauser Busch or home brew, I like the good ones. Since I like beer so much, I have quite a list of fine brewries of which I've enjoyed at least one of their fare... which I will share...

    Breweries

    http://www.3ravens.com.au
    3 Ravens Brewing - a Microbrewery in Melbourne Australia that puts out a great line of ales. I've had their 'Blonde', but hope to procure some 'Dark' as I seem to like that style.

    http://www.alaskanbeer.com/
    Alaska Brewing - Their 'Amber' is quite good and is a good choice if its on tap and I'm undecided, but its their 'Winter' ale that first drew me to their products.

    http://www.anchorbrewing.com
    Anchor Brewing - Steam. A quality brew that is hoppy yet quite quaffable!

    http://www.bigskybrew.com
    Big Sky Brewery - Moose Drool Brown Ale is what I like of theirs.

    http://www.bbaybrewery.com
    Boundary Bay Brewing - IPA (India Pale Ale) is what I first tried quite by accident when the first two brews I tried to order at the Taphouse blew out. A refreshing 'dry-hopped' ale! Yum!

    http://www.coopers.com.au/
    Coopers Brewing - Dark, and Pale Ale are what satisfies my thirst here (if I can find it here in Queensland). I like their Pale Ale as well, and have found a local that serves it!

    http://www.deschutesbrewery.com
    Deschutes Brewery - Twilight Ale is a great summertime ale, but I haven't had a Deschutes brew I didn't like. Their Black Butte Porter & Obsdiian Stout is tops as well.

    Fish Tale Organic Ales - Their 'Blind Pig' porter warms me up when I go to Leavenworth for the Christmas tree lighting. Afterward I walk next door to Gustav's[/url] where I have Sleeping Maiden Porter (which I found out is brewed by Hale's in their old way, before they started nitro-charging their theirs for a more creamy pour).

    http://www.greatdivide.com
    Great Divide Brewing - Yeti Stout! All I can say is make sure you ain't driving if you have one of these.

    Hale's Ales - I used to like their porter, but of late they have gone into nitrogen fortifying which really 'creams' the product. I find they make Gustav's house porter I mentioned earlier the old way, so I prefer that.

    Iron Horse Brewery - It was the only beer available at the Ellensburg rodeo on Labor Day, and their dark is a worthy brew!

    http://www.boags.com.au
    J. Boag & Son Brewing - Honey Porter! I found a six pack of this hard to find seasonal in a national park store last April and could only get 2 bottles due to the extreme price. I have to say it was worth it!

    http://www.lostcoast.com
    Lost Coast Brewing - Indica IPA! Brewed in northern California, I have to wonder if they throw some in with the hops...

    http://www.macandjacks.com
    Mac n Jack's Brewery - African Amber! Unfiltered and unpastuerized, it has a good warming taste. Quite popular at the local tavern by my folks, mainly I'm thinking because the 'African' bit appeals to the hood locals, and its this or one of the industrials. If you have too many, the consequence is usually discovered about a day and a half later. :|

    http://www.maltshovel.com.au/
    Malt Shovel Brewing - James Squire[/url] Golden Ale. Refreshing, lighter ale that has more to it than the typical Aussie lagar (they being Victoria Bitter, Carlton, XXXX, Cascade... No Americans, not Fosters.)

    http://www.matildabay.com
    Matilda Bay Brewing - Beez Neez! A honey wheat beer that is very refreshing on those hot afternoons!

    url=http://www.goatbeer.com.au
    Mountain Goat Brewing - Totally organic brew which I had only recently discovered! Bottle conditioned and has to be stored in the fridge upright as the yeast settles to the bottom. Good full bodied ale!

    Nimbus Brewing - A nice refresher after trekking the Arizona desert.

    http://www.pikebrewing.com
    Pike Brewing - I love the Kilt-Lifter Scottish ale, and their Naughtie Nellie's IPA is good too! If you ever visit Seattle and go to the Pike Place Market, instead of going to the original Starbucks store, go south down 1st Ave a few paces and stop here!

    http://www.redhook.com
    Red Hook Brewery - My original microbrew! Their original red ale was tops, but they changed the recipe a bit and it became ESB (Extra Special Bitter). Always a good choice when one is undecided.

    http://www.rogue.com
    Rogue Ales - Arrogant B@stard and Dead Guy ales are what they are known for. Good, strong, and heavy! Lovwe their tagline too... Yellow fizzy beer is for wussies!

    http://www.roslynbrewery.com
    Roslyn Brewing - My local choice when visiting the Brick Tavern in Roslyn, where the TV show Northern Exposure was filmed. A pint of this and an order of their beer-batter prawns set me for lunch many times! If its a weekend, then wal kdown the street to the brewery.

    Samuel Adams Brewing - Boston Lagar! A good beer when you want a full flavor but dont want a heavy one. I point to this one when Aussies deride American beers because all they had was Miller and Bud. Most who try this like it!

    http://www.snowymountainsbrewery.com.au
    Snowy Mountain Brewing - Razorback Red Ale! Another recent discovery since returning down under! Can't get it at the bottle shops so I mail ordered me some! Ai also got their Charlotte's Hefeweizen, and its a good brew as well.

    http://www.goodbeer.com
    Speakeasy Ales & Lagars - IPA! The Eyes have it! I was first drawn to try this at the Taphouse when I was ordering a sampler, and the eyes on the tap-handle kept looking at me. I was not sorry!

    http://www.tooheys.com.au/index.html
    Tooheys - Of all the Australian lagars, I like Tooheys New the best when its on tap [i]superchilled[/i] where they have a thermometer on the tap reading -1 to -3 degrees C! Poured into a frosted glass on one of these hot muggy Queensland days, its fun to see the ice forms on the outside of the glass! MMMMmmmmm! I like their ad for this as well, touted as "The poms worst nightmare" :lol:

    I have to say I'm a regular buyer of their bottled Tooheys Old, a smooth black ale.

    Let me know some of your favorite brews!

    Write Santa...
    Dear Santa...

    Dear Santa,

    This year I've been busy!

    Last Friday I farted in an elevator (-6 points). In November I broke [info]kyizi's X-Box (-12 points). Last Saturday [info]alqualisse and I robbed a bank (-50 points). In January I ruled Canada as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). Last Thursday I invaded Iraq, broke it, and couldn't glue it back together before Mom got home (-1012 points).

    Overall, I've been naughty (-380 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich!

    Sincerely,
    Hanasian

    A Half Century...
    Yes, on Monday I will have ridden this earth for 50 complete orbits. Many reach this point and lament that their life s half over, but me, I am of the mind that life has only gotten started. I look back and see the path I've taken through the years to get here, and see the twists and turns that made me who I am today, and I have no regrets. Yes, maybe I spent too long in the hippy-stoner years, and maybe I went too far into a certain Christian mindset for a time, and made some not-so-well-thought-out life-changing decisions during both those times, but in retrospect I would not change anything. The one thing I think I would change back in 1981 would have changed my path, and though I'm sure it would have been a good path, it would have been a different path. So here, at 50, I look at life a lot different than I once did. I no longer feel the push to live to make others happier by doing things a certain pre-conceived way, but to will live life for my enjoyment. Yes, my decisions will affect others who are dear to me, but one has to live life, and if some of the decisions made goes contrary to that which they want them to be, they will have to cope. I still love them.

    Since I'm now free of my self-imposed censorship as to what I would post on the internet (divorce was final October 22nd), I will try and post more of my thoughts, rants, observations, etc here, and keep folk outside the Twilight of Arnor message board apprised as to what this guy is up to.

    Jeff, I hardly knew ye. You left way too soon...
    You were too young to leave us, but it was time to go. Jeffery Iseminger was a guy I met exactly once. It was my longest day, April 28th 2007. I got up in Tamworth New South Wales, made my way to Sydney, then from there to San Francisco, then to Seattle. I then proceeded to go to a Seattle Mariners baseball game with mu brother Jim, and we had many a pint of ale before and during the game. Afterward, Jim tells me his good friend Jeff's band, Surgical Chaos, was playing at El Corizon (Which I remember as 'The Offramp') and we should go see them. So we found a bus to get us half way there, then we walked about 9 blocks up the hills of Seattle to get there. A bit thirsty, we get an ale and sit down with Jeff and his lovely lady Shelly. He went and played a set of grinder rock before returning for more drinks. We had a good evening, and he was tripping that I was totally drunk and jet lagged, and I was happy to meet one of my brothers best friends.

    So it was the other day he called the house and left a bit of a message on the phone, and my brother talked to him for an hour. The next morning Shelly called Jim in tears as Jeff had passed away in his sleep. He was 34. This stuff happens to old people, and now that I'm approaching 50 years myself, some my age are falling with more frequency. But for a young man of 34 having heart failure in his sleep? To young... Too many gigs left unplayed.

    Rest in peace now Jeff

    A meme I swiped from Elentari... Its a good one for recalling life's events.

    20 Years Ago, I...
    1) Quit doing contraband intoxicants.
    2) Quit drinking for the most part.
    3) Quit listening to satanic rock n roll as I dove headlong into Jesus freakdom.

    15 Years Ago, I...
    1) Had a house I had to pay for and it needed things fixed.
    2) Had two husky pups to contend with.
    3) Thought I was in love, was getting lots of sex, and was a father to two toddlers, while my newly teen son forced the issue with his mom and came to live with me.

    10 Years Ago, I...
    1) Was working, raising two young kids and one old one was a senior in high school.
    2) Enjoyed playing with my two husky dogs (both who passed away this year at age 14 and 15).
    3) Was getting no sex from the wife.

    5 Years Ago, I...
    1) Realized there was no communication with my wife.
    2) Started down the road to an affair.

    2) Was still working at a job that was good in the fact I could goof off and still get work done.
    3) Spent a lot of July with my dearest friend!

    1 Year Ago, I...
    1) Tried to take care of a lot of financial stuff to make thing easier on everyone... I should have done it differently.
    2) Had the hike of my life to a remote place on the Pacific Ocean.

    Yesterday, I...
    1) Went to mediation on a divorce settlement with my soon to be ex wife.
    2) Drank several ales at the Taphouse when mom called my mobile to inform me dad was taken to the hospital in the ambulance. I went next door to the Rock Bottom Brewery before riding transit to hometown, there had two more pints with my bro.

    New Books...
    So a new "Tolkien" book is out... Children of Hurin. I think I look forward to Alan Lee's artwork since the overall story is just a re-edited re-hash of the Turin Turambar chapter in the Silmarillion, and the alternate Narn i Hîn Húrin chapter in Unfinished Tales. I had hoped Christopher tTolkien would have used a slight bit of artistic license to fill in some of the rough spots. Still, I'm sure it will be good reading for any Tolkien fan.

    I hav ebeen meaning to read Glen Cook's Tyranny of the Night, Book one of the Instrumenalities of the Night series, but got a little busy and such. I could read it now, except my copy is in the states and I'm in Australia. Anyway, book two is out, Lord of the Silent Kingdom. Guess I better get busy and start reading!

    One of my rambles....
    Yeah I know, all 3 friends wonder why I dont update this regular. Well, I don't know. All I know is I hope to be going to see the most beautiful girl in the world this coming february. Thats right, after meeting online in 2001, and in real life in 2003, I am going to go see alqualisse! I'm in love with this amazing woman and Im working to get things sussed here so I will be free to be with her for the rest of my days, or as long as she will have me. I havent felt like this since before my first heartbreak at age 17.

    Lots to do though to make this happen. This hillbilly finally got his passport, and I am now working the inns and outs of international travel. More soon.. I promise!

    Wow... I'm going onto y third month of not working and I have to say its been some of the most relaxing time in my life. Yeah sure I know I will have to go back to work sometime, but getting so much done in the mean time so I can enjoy the rest of my life has been awesome!

    Now I know I'm falling out of the accepted norm where you work for much/most of your life and save money for your 'retirement'. But what good is the saved money when you are near death at retirement? Or worse yet, die before retirement like two of my co-workers at Medtronic did. No, The opportunity to enjoy life and make some changes in my life to get to where I want to be is worth every cent.

    I've been raining posts all over Elentari's LJ today as I hadn't been on it much of late. Hope all is wekk with my friends.

    The Month of May...
    ...it always seems to be a month of change and growth for me. Like the double digit years, May seems to be the time when courses change in this river of life of mine.

    I was laid off from my last job in May of 1981.

    I left my 1st wife on May 30th 1983 and filed for divorce shortly thereafter.

    I moved out from living with a lover I was infatuated with in May 2003.

    I "retired" from a job I had for 25 years in May, and I have moved forward on a long-coming divorce to wife#2.

    I'm rather enjoying, maybe too much, being unemployed heading into summer for the first time since 1981. Yes, with the new fiscal year at the company (May 1st) they decided to do some "cost-cutting". I had a heads up as I left on Friday, April 28 as the supervisor said she "had to talk to me" before I leave. That walk and talk was joined by one of the catberts from HR. They couldn't say anything as it wasn't going to be announced until Tuesday May 2nd, but I was off for a (so I thought) 2 week vacation. I got on my mobile and gave a co-worker a heads up about 2 minutes later, so goes the rumor mill. Anyway, I called them on Tuesday as I wasn't going to show up in the midst of my vacation, and I got the "official" notice.

    I was paid 25 weeks severance, my outstanding vacation time, paid medical benefits until the end of July, the services of an outplacement company, plus one week pay for my 25th year anniversary with the company. Also, I should be getting a bonus check for last fiscal year sometime in June, which is ironic since I and about 80 others were let go as a cost-cutting measure. Welcome to the new business plan of the new mellinium! Its the bottom line and job mobility that they want! People don't work for the same company for a whole working career anymore, and hense that was why they wanted to change the retiremnent packages a couple years back. They touted the fact the new one was more "portable" but most of the folk vested in the old one didn't change. But that was the writing on the wall warning of future events and after that we expected such treatment to come along. The old original corporation used to see after their people, but they were bought out in 1997, and the suceeding 8 years was like a slow assimulation by the Borg... resistance was futile and they now are slowly remove the old vestages of folk who remember "the old days". Basicly they wanted younger, cheaper people. So for now I'm getting about $400 a week from the state in exchange for looking for three jobs a week. I can live with this for now. Of course there are a couple places I'm not going to apply at yet as I know they will give me a job and ruin it. Maybe in July or August...

    The first two weeks of this month I was enjoying hiking and the company of my ladyfriend whom I love, and when I had to take her finally to the airport I was seriously bummed. That day we had 3 points of ale to drown our sorrows of parting, and after getting to the airport we had a tussle with the airline because we arrived in barely enough time by pre 9/11 standards to make an international flight. After some bitching out by one of the airline counter supervisors, she was able to make the plane, and her bags even made it. I on the other hand was bumming and so returned to the alehouse and had 7 more pints! I was well wrecked by the time they closed, and I managed to navigate the 2 miles to my folks place to crash. I had a thick head for three days afterward!

    Ah yes... May.

    The Wikipedia birthday Meme: put your birthday into Wiki, then select three events that happened on that date, two celebrities born on that date and one celebrity who died on that date.

    November 12:

    Events-
    764 - Tibetan troops occupy Chang'an, the capital of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, for fifteen days.

    1927 - Leon Trotsky is expelled from the Soviet Communist Party, leaving Joseph Stalin with undisputed control of the Soviet Union.

    Death-
    1595 - John Hawkins, English shipbuilder and trader (b. 1532)



    I really had a hard time picking anyone who died on my birthday as they didn't mean anything to me. I picked John Hawkins because I have a friend with the same name :)

    Tobacco Smoking...
    Reading Elentari's journal brought this to mind again. Its the whole mandated smoking ban in public places. I though tit was pretty much a local liberal nanny-state initiative that passed in Washington state. Yes, here in Washington State, the voters passed an initiative that banned cigarette, I mean tobacco smoking from public places, and within 25 feet of the doors of public places.

    So the answer is to make tobacco illegal I guess. What this initiative has done other than kill alot of small bars business is to create a giant ashtray out of anything along the street, and the street itself. Also, in rural areas, it is widely ignored which puts the business owner in the line of fire with the state health department, which can in theory have the state liquer control board suspend their alcohol license. There are more than a few court challenges going on at this time.

    Now I don't smoke cigarettes, and am glad I gave up that filthy and expensive habit 30 years ago, but I am of the beliefe that it is the business owners decision to allow smoking of legal substances in their establishment. If they choose to cater to smokers, then fine. If you don't smoke and like the place, you put up with it, otherwise go to a similar business that caters to non-smokers. Fortunately here in Washington state there are plenty of good non-smoking bars, like the Dog & Pony in renton, or the 2R Bar and Grill in Roslyn. But now that all places are suposedly non-smoking, it has begun to lead to a rebellious streak among the persecuted smokers who will more often than not light up wherever they want and challenge the enforcement of such ordinances by the owners of their former smoking hangouts.

    So, if the smoke is so damm bad (which it is) and all these laws are going to be enacted to increasingly restrict where a smoker can smoke, then just make it illegal already! You just know that the whole 'protect the kid's air' inside the home and car ordinance is coming...

    But the conundrum is this.... If tobacco is made illegal, then ALOT of tax revenue will be kissed goodbye.... Can't have that because of all the tax load that has been put on tobacco over the years... yes, such a conundrum.... we need the smokers to buy tobacco so we can get the tax money, but we don't want them smoking it anywhere...

    Doing a three sixty
    I want to say it here for you my love that most the stuff I post on Yahoo 360 under Ranger of Ithilien is BS. I only do it to bug the slut princess since she has this thing about keeping an eye on it.

    I don't have any other places where I put it, but I'm sure she is spending tons of time searching... ;)

    What am I talking about here my friends ask?

    In 2003 I had a fling with a pretty but definitely strange girl from St Louis. She seems to have a thing for balling married guys, and she tried her best to entrap me and get me out of my marriage. Now things were not good at home, so I was susceptable to the attention of this 28 year old who plied me with lots of communication first by email starting in October 2002, then by telephone in November 2002. She flooded me with sexy pics in this time, emailing them regularly to me. But soon after we actually met in January 2003, she worked a scheme to move to Seattle, and in February she did. We shacked up together for a couple months, but it became apparent that it wasn't a good thing. I left in May 2003 and went back home, and was genuinely on a path of re-concilliation. But that did not work, and with every passing day I felt my feelings for another grow.
