I feel like a very lucky individual. I grew up in a nice house and have great parents and a wonderfully supportive extended family. My mother was my cub scout den mother and dad built me a club house. In the summer time I’d sit in the back yard with my sister spit watermelon seeds or catch fireflys or play freeze tag.

Thankfully I have precious little to complain about. Like I said…lucky.

..but unfortunately I’m not the norm.

I have friends that have serious abuse histories from verbal to overtly physically abusive relationships between family members, spouses, friends.

I’ve seen some one try to kick heroin. He said the methadone made the marrow of his bones hurt.

I had a friend that faced deportation due to a crack abuse problem. He spent a year in NA and went back to using immediately after his probation was up.

I lived next door to a really nice guy that drank a fifth of really cheap rum every single night.

I had a friend nearly die of a methamphetamine overdose in a bath tub.

But me… I have a good job, a new car and a nice place to call home in a quaint town. Again I’ve been lucky, but I know not everyone has.

So I was having a hard time coming up with my topic for Bloggers Unite. After a little brainstorming I came up with this resource that I’ll continue to add to.

Great job folks! Keep up the good work.

Michael C. Hall of Six Feet Under fame plays Dexter Morgan a blood pathologist and blood spatter specialist who just happens to be a serial killer. As he helps decipher bloody crime scenes he’s acutely aware of how to get away with murder.

In season 1 we see how Dexter became the man he is. See he’s a serial killer that only kills other serial killers and murderers. His father instills a code in him so his son isn’t discovered. A code that he lives by faithfully. A code that helps him seem normal though he has no emotions. His life is a constant act where he tries to blend in with people so they don’t see him for the true monster he is.

Season 1 ends with an interesting twist when Dexter actually discovers who is who he refers to as his, “playmate”, the Ice Truck Killer. You’ll be morbidly surprised to find out just who he is. Dexter’s contacted by the fellow serial killer and admirer. He’s meticulous, intelligent and leaves no details over looked.

Dexter is my new guilty pleasure. Great cast, great concepts and funny yet graphically violent. Check it out if this sounds good to you.

This off the wall looking character has got some magic fingers. His name is Ronald Jenkees and he makes beats. He’s a comical dude that has some mad skills on the 88 keys. If you like the music you can buy his tunes here. I started following Jenkees on YouTube about a month ago and was immediately impressed. He’s a very talented individual! < -- (hence the exclamation point)
