It has been over a year since I posted last. Not much has changed. The grandkids are growing up, as children often do. My wife's pit bull had a litter of six pups back in November. I have aquired a new little kitty, to keep my large house-cat company. They seem to have a great old time playing together. Well, that is about all for now...see you in the funny papers!

New News

Ok, so I haven't been here in a while. I have been busy, that's all! My youngest now has two children, a little girl and a new little boy. His name is Tony Eugene Hopkins III. My daughter calls him "Trey". I just call him "Trip". (Trip, short for "triple", the third). Get it now? Good, don't let me have to explain it again! Just as with his big sister before him, my wife and I are buying diapers and other materials for him. It is easy for some to say "just tell her NO, we will not raise him also." It isn't so easy when that child cries because he needs a dry diaper, or because he is hungry. It's not the child's fault, he never asked to be born into this shitty world.

          I could never face myself if I knowingly let either of my grandbabies go without, and I posess the means to help them. That includes, but is not limited to, stealing if need be. On a lighter note, as of December 3, 2013, I have been quit smoking for ten years! That includes ANY USE of tobacco AT ALL!!! I have patted myself on the back already, so hold your applause!

          Well, I need to get off of here, I have some things to do, and I am still recovering from the last week of being sick. I could barely get out of bed...if it had not been for the diarhea, i would not have gotten out of bed! And the medicine I had to take for it stated that it made you sleepy!! People in Vegas get better odds than that! Ok, see you later!

I know, I know, it has been too long since I was here. Not much has changed. Time drags inexorably on, and I am here to witness it. My first wife's dad died a few days back. He was an ok sort of guy. No reason to hold it against him for his daughter's faults! I will forego any ex-wife jokes at this point...it just seems too easy.


        My youngest  daughter is pregnant again. She says it is  a boy. Just what my wife and I need, ANOTHER baby to raise, feed, clothe, and keep in diapers! She (my daughter) needs to make it clear to her husband that he will be raising this child, not us! I have never met another white man that is as worthless as the one she married!


          I guess I will stop there...I have probably done enough damage for today!

Hey There!

It has been awhile since I was here...sorry about that, I got caught up in Facebook games! I am still addicted to them, so just bear with me. Thanksgiving and Christmas went off without a hitch. Also, the world didn't end on December 21st! What a crock of shit!


         Little Gracie is now two (2) years old, and learning to speak better every day. She still just jabbers a lot, but she is finding her way! Rozie was invited to go to Washington, D.C. this summer. It is gonna cost her parents about three thousand dollars for a six day tour of our nation's capitol. Her little brother Vinny is grounded right now...he gets into a lot of trouble. Nothing serious, just being a boy, I guess!


       Everyone went through several rounds of  having a cold. A BAD cold! I am just now getting over my last bout. Well, that is all for now, I will try to get here more often!

Life Is Good

Things are going well here. I still need to write to my Uncle. Nothing important, I  just like to keep him up to date on whatever is happening in my life. No special reason for this course of action, just fun, I guess. Since I last wrote here, I have purchased a special turntable for putting my records onto my computer. I have listened to cd's for far too long. I had forgotten about the hissing and popping on records!!! I guess that is two of the reasons for switching to cd's!


        My youngest daughter has aquired a job at the local K-Mart! This is her first real job, and so far she loves it! I hope she continues to do well at it. My oldest daughter continues to vex me. She clearly has something wrong with her health, but refuses to see a doctor! I have spoken to her repeatedly about this issue. She just shines me on, and says "ok daddy". This course of action is getting her nowhere! I can only hope she does something before it is too late for her...


          Well, I just cranked up some Lenny Kravitz...Later dayzzzzz kiddies! Remember, He who dares, wins!

New News!

Welcome back to this train wreck that is my life! Good news, bitches! I lost 19 pounds on my last trip to the doctor's  office! That is about all of the good news, except that my blood-sugar was down, also! I guess losing weight caused it to go down a little. The doctor was excited for me, as was I.

       If there is anymore good news I will post it here. Also, the kids started back to school today...I bet I know two grandkids who were not happy about that news! Later...

Heroes or Not?

I am sick to death about hearing that all cops are heroes! The majority of them are PIGS! They are scum, and not worthy to be called "hero". Cops do illegal shit, and then lie for each other. Hell, they don't even deserve the time I am devoting writing this!

          On a more positive note, I am trying to alter some of my eating habits. Because of the diabetes, and whatnot. I tried tofu for the first time today. I think the liners in my shoes have a better taste! It was worth trying, so I will try to stick to it for now.

        Everyone is doing well. I recently bought a Kinnect motion sensor for my XBOX 360. I am actually surprised at how well it works! Vinny and Roze just love it. I am glad to see them playing with it! Till later, folks!

Having a Low Day

Hi, guys and girls, the old dragonmaster is back once again! I have a love for Dragons that stretches as far back as my early childhood. I used to make my mom put on Peter Paul and Mary singing "Puff the Magic Dragon" every damn night when I went to bed! Even though my mother was afflicted with a mental illness, there were some good times every now and then.

          I, unfortunately, inherited that same mental illness. I am Bi-Polar, and suffer from depression. I don't think I have ever posted it that plainly here before. So, there it is...the eight hundred pound gorilla in the room! Sometimes it is hard to overlook it; sometimes I can get by. Sometimes not. Imagine a large dump truck parked on your chest...that is how it feels sometimes. Oh! I haven't even mentioned the panic attacks that spring up at the worst times!!!

             Add to the fact that I live in Mississippi. The WORST STATE for trying to get help with a mental illness. Aside from other "normal" people making fun of you and laughing at what is arguably a real problem! I just say "fuck 'em". They will never know the pain in my heart, and the voices in my head telling me to harm them! I can go from a slow boil to a seething rage in an instant. I just want to destroy everything in sight. Imagine trying to control that with no help. Ok, enough crying about something that cannot be fixed. You guys and girls keep your shit together...maybe tomorrow will be better!


                                                       Holla' If You Hear Me!!!

What are We?

What are we? We are living, breathing organisms. But what about the whole Universe? Could it actually be just a very complex living organism? A single entity, a life force existing solely on it's own? I just think about these things from time to time. Maybe I am wrong about the whole deal...but what if I am right? What if the Universe IS just a single, living entity? Food for thought, huh?

Good Day to You

Well, I am back, and not with much to say. The days are quiet, and kind of boring. I will continue to publish here, even though I am the only one still reading here!

Long Time No See!

Well, it is several months into the future...Christmas went off without a hitch, and the baby is now running everywhere! I haven't been here because of Facebook. I have wasted a lot of time there. I don't post there, I just read what others post, and play a couple of the games! Vinny and Roze had a great year at school. Roze took home six awards for exellence, and Vinny took home five. He says this is the last time his sister beats him! He vows to get more awards next year. I am pulling for him. he has finally settled down to the work it takes to excell in school.

          Otherwise, things are quiet around here. Take care, and I will try to not take so long getting back here.

A New Day

Hello, and welcome to all...both of you who still read here!!!!!!! I am happy because my new video game comes out Friday...and I pre-ordered it ahead of time. The game is "The Elder Scrolls V; Skyrim". From the tv ads I have seen, it will by far be the best in the series to date! I will be glad to have it.

My youngest daughter is living with us for right now...maybe forever. Her husband cannot seem to keep the lights on at their house. The baby cannot stay where there is no electricity! So, for now, mother and child are here. My wife cannot stand the hubby. As for me? I am not too fond of him, either. I would love to go buck wild on him for a bit. Anyway...

Not too much else to say. I seem to not be counted as "normal"...I come here with my problems, not Facebook. I like a couple of the games over there, but the rest is just a collosal waste of time. I am listening to Elton John. Isn't he Knighted? I should say "Sir" Elton John. Well, holla if you want to, or not, it's no snot out of my nose!!!!!!

Free and Easy

That's me, free and easy right now. As I sit here with my speakers filled with music, and a little hope in my heart. I have a new on-line friend, her name is "Boink"! She is a beautiful little doggy from the great nation of Canada! She(her owner) is a great personality, and I love her posts on Facebook.

I am all alone, and sort of digging it today! I have no way of knowing just WHY I am enjoying it more than usual, I just am. Things are quiet for now, and except for the music which is deafening me right now, not much is going on here in the heart of "The Dirty South". You know what people say..."American by birth, Southern by the grace of God".

Next month marks the eigth year of my beautiful friend Jean quitting smoking. We lost Jean a couple years back due to COPD. I still miss you Miss Jean, I really do! Well, time for me to go dig in my freezer for my booze! I will "see" all of you later.

The Old Dragon Master

Recent Events

...There aren't any!!! Everything is flowing smoothly. The new grandbaby is growing nicely. She is almost seven months, and can already crawl anywhere she wants to go. She is nineteen pounds in weight, and can eat whatever she wants...(within reason). My older grandchildren are doing fine in school, and otherwise. They both seem to be gifted at school.

I am about the same as before. Change seems to come slowly for me if at all. That is good, as I hate change! The days and nights are a lot cooler now, and that is a relief! We had too many days of the temperature being over 100 degrees, and the nights in the nineties! Well, enough for now, I will be back later!

Sad News

It is with mixed emotions that I post here today. I got two calls yesterday, Saturday, July 09, that my biological dad died at 12:00 pm(that is noon if you are wondering). I say mixed emotions because the man just didn't know me. The last time he saw me was when I was 17, and then only for a few minutes.

I hate the loss of any life, but this one even moreso than any other at this time. There was never any one time that he wanted to know me or my two brothers. How do you deal with someone like that? I chose to just leave him alone, and let him be. It seemed to be what he wanted. But that just makes me feel like less of a person. Maybe I didn't try hard enough? Maybe HE didn't try hard enough? Who knows, I have just about quit beating myself up about it...

On a more positive note, I had my new granddaughter for most of the day Saturday! We had a great time of it. She is growing by leaps and bounds! You can actually get her to laugh for you now! She just laughs and squeals so much. I love playing with her. My wife took her Friday evening to see our oldest girl. She was over-joyed to play with her! I guess you could say that she is being spoiled!

Well, that is about it for me. I think I will go and dig in my freezer and see what I can come up with! Later Dayzzzzzzzzz!

Hot Days Ahead!

Hello, and welcome! Hey, sit down in the back and shut up...I'll get to you in a minute! Well, the youngest girl of mine finally graduated from school! It was an uphill fight for me and her mother to get her to finish. She lost too much time having the baby, and the last two weeks were just a pure fight to make her finish. We had to convince her each morning to go to school. She just knew she was wasting her time, and would never make up all of the work she missed! Well, she did, but it was a battle. When she got her diploma, I finally let my breath out! My God, she finally made it!

She also got married to the baby's daddy. I will spare you the details of how we felt about that..........suffice it to say that she could do better; much better. She moved out about three weeks ago. Now the baby is in the hospital with pnuemonia. She has been in since last Friday, and may get to go home on Monday, maybe.

Well, summer is definetly here! Temps of 100 and more are here! Don't worry, it is normal for here. I am going to find something cold to drink. Have I told you that I keep whiskey in the freezer to keep it cold? Try it, it doesn't freeze, so you have nothing to worry about. Beer doesn't work, so don't try that, and blame me for a mess in your freezer!

Later dayz, boys and girls!

Finally Back!

So, here I am late at night, Journey playing through the speakers (quietly, because of the baby), and I finally realize..."I have a few minutes to blog out 'cause the baby is asleep!" Seems like every time I sit down, someone hands me the baby! Don't get me wrong, she is totally spoiled by me. If I sit with her on a blanket on my couch, she has picked up the habit of propping one leg up on my stomach. Cool, ain't it?


Since you saw me here last, I have had a birthday (April 10)! I am now 51 years old. There is still a little tread on the old tires, if you know what I mean...Ok, the ol' lady had a birthday also(April 17). She is 49 years old. What can I say, it has been a strange couple of months since the baby was born! Having to re-learn all of the things you need to know about babies. Seems like that knowledge just stays buried in the back of your brain untill you need to access it!


There is not much else to say. I have been busy with the baby, as has everyone else. I forgot just how much attention babies need! I am trying to think of something to say here. I have started to baby-sit the two oldest grandchildren, Roze and Vinnie. Those two are a blast! You just never know what they will come up with next. Today they were banging on pots and pans...and the baby just slept right through it all!


I will say that I have been reading a lot of posts on facebook from a friend in Canada. Rock on girl! She was off the 'net for awhile, but it looks like she is back, and doing ok. I just want to wish her all of the luck in the world, and may she find peace wherever she may be.


Well, that is all of the news for now...I am outta here!

New Picture of Baby

I thought I would place a picture of the new grandbaby! Baby and mother are well, and doing fine. Baby is spoiled already, so my wife and I are doing our part!

We finally have a baby girl! She was born Friday night, the 11th of March 2011. She weighed 6pounds 8ounces. She was 19 inches long. Mother and child are now at home. Her name is Shianne Grace. She is already taking as much as four two ounce bottles at night! She is fine as far as we can tell.


Now, for other news. As of my last visit we now have high speed broadband internet! Surfing the web with high speed is a whole new experience, believe me. My blood-sugar levels are drastically DOWN as of late. Things seem to be on the up-swing for once! I think I will end on that note...

Hello, folks! Still no baby as of yet...any day now. It could be as much as two weeks before we get a baby! The doctor seems to think this will be a long pregnancy. Ok, more news on my doctor. I am back on insulin, and I am on something to help me lose weight also. I hope it works. Actually, I hope both work.


Ok, not much to talk about, we are all just waiting, and hoping we are well prepared when the time comes. I will let you know more when I know more. Hey, how did you like my picture that I put up? Pretty cool, huh?
