I'm Not a Joiner

Are we ready for a rant?  Okay, so, I am a member of a whole-lotta Facebook groups, this much is true.  Though some may consider this egregious, I love each and every one one of them.  They are made up of, mostly, like-minded individuals who enjoy metal detecting. While I certainly cannot engage in every single group daily on any grand scale--I depend 100% on my news feed and Facebook notifications to keep me involved.--On each page I post one or two video links a month, a meme, or blog here and there.  Beyond that I'm frequently scrolling, commenting where I can, liking posts I enjoy, and in that way I am differentiating by individual people not the groups themselves.

To me, Facebook is a gathering place, much like the city center.  There are a ton of shops, businesses, bars (or pubs if you will) downtown. While I can go inside any one of these establishments, I generally prefer to be outdoors, lounging on some cafe sidewalk chair sipping a glass of wine.  I sit and observe...watch the people go about their business, petting someone's dog as they walk by, complimenting someone's shoes, or just nodding a friendly hello.  Sometimes I'll pop in a place, sing a song, then drop the mic and walk out the door (proverbially speaking of course).

In this analogy, if I'm in your group and I don't always engage--If I simply wish to "walk in and sing my song" and I decline a game of pool or darts; are you going to ask me to leave?  Truth of the matter is, maybe your patrons ENJOY my brand of "music".  Or maybe my version of Ballroom Blitz filtered out into the street intriguing a few people to stop by.  Or, hell, maybe I'm simply background noise, adding to the over all atmosphere.  Regardless of the role, it is all part of the spirit isn't it?  

As I've said before, I'm an introvert. So, by nature I am not a "joiner".  I have friends and family who get aggravated on a regular basis because they don't hear from me enough. So maybe you can appreciate that I put my heart into everything I create and am giving a little bit of myself with each new video, blog, meme, or what have you.  This IS my form of participation. So if you're telling me, the introvert, how I should interact within your group, and if you enlist nothing more than individuals who are being threatened with removal if they do not frequently comment, I'm best left out anyway.

Do Not Mourn the Darkness


The once dark and comforting night,
Is now but an echo of what shone in the light.
A foggy reminder of past things...
Miscellaneous happenings.

Where there used to be a soothing song,
The quiet gives rise to an eerie calm.
With much room for feelings to recklessly wander,
Imagination roams as thoughts do conjure.

The stars still sparkle, this much is true,
And from way down here it’s quite the view.
Take peace within its utter starkness.
Please do not mourn the darkness.

As nighttime comes to revive and reflect,
It cradles in stillness, it soothes and protects.
So rest now in sweet and dreamless sleep,
And trust your heart to twilight's keep.

Music


Music is not just a bunch of notes strung together.
It's not simply rhyming a few words or set patterns.
Music is more than undulating rhythms.  
It is an extension of the soul.
Music is emotion, it is spirituality, and it is healing.
It is a celebration as well as grieving.

Music transcends time and space—a vehicle for the mind, body, and soul.
It goes beyond artistic creativity—something to be experienced.
Music is a living, breathing thing…evocative…provocative.
It is the purest form of expression.
Music is love, hate, forgiveness, submission, lust, strength, anger, power, joy, truth, passion...


Music is the very essence of life.

Wine is Life

Stress weighs heavy on a tired soul. 
Dragging down. Her shoulders strain against the days tension as if preparing for impact. 

 The cork extracts from the bottle with a swift pop before the almost-black liquid gently flows into the glass. 

 Her hands cup the bowl, protectively embracing the large vessel as if any moment this joy will be stolen. 

 Eagerly the glass is raised to her mouth with a deep, slow breath before drawing the heady substance across her delighted tongue. 

 A tingling sensation tempts while the slightly-fruity but dry libation is eagerly swallowed down.  

 Pink hues flush her face in response to the burning warmth. The corners of a once frowning mouth begin to pull upward in an involuntary smile.  The kind of smile that seems to be hiding a delicious secret. 

 Sighing contentedly she raises the glass to her lips for another deep draw of the intoxicating substance. 

 Heat begins to flow down, reaching into her core, then traveling through every inch of her body. 

 Shoulders drop in a sweet surrender.  The fight has ended.

Red wine, you win! You know my mind and understand precisely what I need.

Muddy Glasses

The past is the past,
You can't go back,
Just look trough muddy glasses.
It's shaded with pain,
And a dose of mundane,
As you gaze though the unwashed masses.
Simplistic at best.
You'll romanticize the rest.
Realize it's essentially pointless.
To hang on to what was,
With a fresh wine buzz,
Is the basis of so much madness.

Siren Kimmie Banned!!!

I was posting links to my latest video recently, as ya do when you make videos; and I noticed I was no longer subscribed to a particular group. In other words, I was KICKED OFF!!! This isn't the first time some ban-hammer-happy admin has decided the way I choose to share my passion for metal detecting did not fit into their idea of participation. Clearly they felt my video links were irrelevant and even a detriment to their community, so I was unceremoniously ejected.

I must confess, I am utterly confused as to why anyone would be removed or banned from a metal detecting group for posting metal detecting videos (or metal detecting related links of any sort). Seems counter intuitive if you ask me. Keep in mind I post maybe one or two links a month (because it takes me that long to get these videos together). So It's not as if I was over-posting my links on any particular group. And I'm not cramming my videos down anyone's throat. More curious is the fact that other Youtubers post links to the group yet seem to be immune from this blacklisting. What gives?

As an obsessed metal detectorist you can well imagine I belong to a lot of groups (some of which I've been added to without being asked). I love scrolling through my news feed filled with finds, videos, jokes and family pics. I don't mind seeing what everyone had for dinner, candids of your pets, your baby, your vacation... even if it is not on topic. It's Facebook...a place to share and be social.

Meanwhile with the number of hours I work, my other responsibilities, and my spare time spent digging and creating videos, there is no earthly way I could possibly comment every day in every single group. Instead, when I see things in my news feed which interest me, I like and/or comment. And I share my videos with each group as A MEANS OF PARTICIPATION.

The thing is, we all have various ways of expressing ourselves. I choose to pen blog posts and produce videos. This is how I share my finds, my passion for detecting, and my creativity. I'm not out there hawking for Youtube subscribers. I'm not trying to sell anything or "make a living" off my channel. I create the videos because I like to share my experience and finds with my groups and friends. Plus it's FUN and a great way to keep a diary and documentation of my finds!

So, boot me if you must. I'm going to continue to do what I do and we'll just have to agree to disagree!
