Never Surrender

This is a simple reminder to those of you who for whatever reason seem to have to eat more than you fair share of shit from those who cannot handle anything outside the little box they make for themselves to never give up! Always be true to yourself. Stick to what you believe in but have the capacity to learn, grow and self reflect.

Evolve and build your skillset. Screw the naysayers and build Brethren, build.

He Who Rules The Roost

My whole life I would guess that I have been a dog person. I love dogs and anyone who knows me would say that purebred dogs are a passion if not an obsession of mine. I have taken time over the years to understand what the purebred dog is all about. Origins, pedigrees and what is behind them are of never ending interest with me. I would dare to say I have a pretty good eye as well. I can read, understand and apply a breed standard like few others that I know. I also retain the ability to remain totally objective in my critiques. I guess you could say that I really, really dig dogs.

Well, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum, a certain cat came into my life. I had no intention on loving this animal, only to tolerate it as it lived out it's life in my company. Thinking back on it I would say that he thought the same of me. It was a classic battle of wills. He would size me up as I would him. I thought if I would just let him be that perhaps I could forget that he even existed. But alas, that was not his plan and in the end he won.

When I first met Charlie he was not accepting of anyone he didn't know getting within touching distance. He would grumble and growl and in the sense of true self preservation I would not push anything. I remember in those early days when I would stumble still sleepy from my bedroom he would be perched in the window and attempt to speak to me (or at me) and nothing would come out. Now, I think that is a very special part of our relationship.

Amidst us both doing our best to ignore one another something special happened. We connected. I remember when he decided I was worthy enough to actually touch his feet while he and I lounged on the bed together. It was as if he stated he trusted me fully. He knew that I would never hurt him and that he would never hurt me. Ever since we have an unspoken bond, an understanding and a true friendship.

I once had a little pug named Higgins, who aside from my daughter I loved more than anything. He was taken from me and ever since there has been a huge hole in my heart. Little did I know that this unassuming and aloof little orange cat would come into my life. While he has not healed the hole he sure has made it a hell of a lot smaller. I love Charlie so much, and he loves me.

That much I am 110% certain.

Welcome

This is my personal blog. While Magus Masonica is the official blog of the M.E.A.P.R.M.M. and it deals 98% of the time with official M.E.A.P.R.M.M. business, here on The Golden Ratio we will have none of that :)

This blog is about whatever I am thinking about, dealing with or not doing at any given time. While I used to do this on my MySpace page I got a little tired of that. What can I say, I'm fickle.

Occasionally you may see some Masonic content here, if it is really occupying my mind at the moment then probably so. At the same time this blog does not abide by any certain theme. This also makes it possible for me to uncensor myself and tell everyone what I personally think about anything as the only thing The Golden Ratio will represent is me in the moment.

So have fun, enjoy and welcome.

Cheers,
BC
