Your own path

 Walk the unbeaten path

Forge your own way

Don't do things

Just because everyone else does 

Stand up

Step out of line

Decide who you are and who you whish to be

Live life on your own terms

Don't let others control you

Do not conform 

You are not a drone

Strike away fro. The crowd

You have a voice

Let it be heard

Donut Ideas

 Here is a couple of thoughts that have ran through my mind the last couple of weeks.  Yes they have to di with donuts. 

1.  Make a donut, cover it with peanutbutter,  and fill it with grape or strawberry jelly

2.  Take a donut cover it with chocolate icing and crushed gram crakers, fill it with toasted Marshmallow fluff

3.  Take a donut and cover it with German Chocolate icing

4.  Mix crushed walnuts and pecans into some honey.   Then spread on donut

5.  Cover the top of the donut in orange and black stripes

6. Cover half of the top of a donut in chocolate icing, the other half with vanilla icing

7. I wonder what it would taste like to take a whole bag of BBQ potato chips, crush them up, then add then to your donut dough.  If those donuts came out well.  Think of all the other potato chip options you could try

8.  I wonder if it would taste good if you added dry ranch or Italian dressing to the donut batter

9. Take a donut,  top it with vanilla icing,  and chocolate and peanutbutter chips

10.  Take a donut fill it with the middle of an OREO cookie, crush up the cookie part and put it on top

11.  Take a donut,  cover it with chocolate,  then cover that with shaved coconut 

12.  I wander if you can make a donut using beer in the batter

i wander if you can make a donut using cornmeal in the batter

14.  Take a donut put it in the bottom of a dish, top it with ice cream. Chocolate syrup,  whipped cream,  and nuts

15. Plain cake donut covered with melted butter and maple syrup 

16.  A cake donut filled with cream cheese and topped with strawberry or cherry jelly

17.  A cake donut filled with French onion dip.

18.  A plain donut, covered in vanilla icing,  with chocolate and peanutbutter chips on top

19 a donut covered in brown sugar and filled with apple jelly

20.  A donut filled with whipped cream and topped with chocolate syrup and sprinkles

21.  I wander if you can make donut dough using apple cider 

22.  Crush up potato chips and add them to the donut batter 

23.  Donut topped with cookie dough

24.  Donut topped with glaze and crushed chocolate chip cookies 

Maybe they sound better than they would taste.  But I thought I would share them

Set you free

 Come with me

Let me set you free

To new wonders and joy

To new experiences and emotions 

Come take my hand

We shall travel to a magical land

Of pure imagination and delight 

Of amazing creatures 

Of amazing sights 

Your imagination is the only limitation 

You hold the key

All you wish is

All you want can be

So take my hand

Come with me

Let me ser you free

Peace

 Let the bell of freedom ring

Let it be heard long and far

May the rythm of peace

Enchant you and feel you with joy

Spread it to all you encounter 

May they hear the rythm and spread the peace

Sponge

 I can see you are feeling sad my friend 

Come give me a big bear hug

Let me be the sponge that absorbs 

All your sadness

Donut Pirates

 Two donut pirates meet upon a sea of icing.  Long John Chocolate in one boat. Long John Caramel in the other.  As their shops meet, cannons start glazing as they fire donut holes at each other.  Soon Long John Caramel tells is crew to prepare for they are about to confront the enemy.   Caramel and his crew swing over to the other ship on liquorice ropes.  They draw their pretzel sticks and begin fighting the enemy.   Donuts fall on both sides, covering the deck with the dead and much cream filling.   Caramel and Chocolate engage each other in combat.  The fight seems to last forever and is fought all over the ship.  Finally chocolate knocks the pretzel stick out of Caramel's hand, stabing him with his own.  Strawberry filling oozes from the wound, and Caramel falls dead upon the deck of the ship.  Long John Chocolate stands over his fallen victim in Victor.

When the donut shop opens

 Here's one for after when the donuts shop opens.   Sang yo the tune of "Yesterday" by The Beatles 

Yesterday, all the donuts seemed so far away

Now they are here to stay

Oh, I belive in Yesterday

Hippie

 

They preform on the street corner

One on a guitar 

One on a conga drum

They preform for the people passing by

Their voices sing songs of peace

A sweet melody 

A welcome sound among the chaos of the world

People stop to listen 

Some might even pitch a few bucks into the guitar case

Some even talk with the duo

Two people

Souls from a lost Era

Reaching out to those around them

Saying it's not to late

Stop the hate

Live in peace

Be free

Rain or shine

Heat of the day

Or chilly winter

They are there in the hippy clothes

Playing and singing their song

Their message of love and peace

Their message of a better world

Apartment memories

 At the apartment I lived in, in Springfield.   Every year they had a cook out ( really everyone sat in the commons area on the first floor.  While someone cooked the burgers on the grill outside.)  One year I got picked to do the grilling.  So I took the box of pre-made patties out to the grill.  My friends Matt Roystone and Janine Walley were out there with me, to keep me company and to take patties inside when the plate was full.  We laughed, we joked, and we drank soda.  When all the patties were made.  I opened a package of hamburger and grilled three patties,  one for myself and the other two for them.  While the patties cooked, I sliced open some rolls to eat them on.

Another thing I remember from that time.  One evening Matt and I went to the store next to our building, and bought a pint of ice cream each.  Them we went back to the building, sat on the bench across the driveway and ate our ice cream and talked.  When our pints were finished, we continued to talk until the sun went down

My friends Mark and Elisa West had just had a baby girl.   One day I met them in the hall on my way outside.  Elisa asked if I wanted to hold her baby. ( Now before this time, I had no thoughts about having kids, or had I ever held a baby)  When Elisa placed her child in my arms.  I just melted, it was like a wall inside me fell, or maybe a dam burst.  From that moment on I wanted to be a dad
