Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Conversations With Me

Some people don’t know what to think about me when having a conversation. My way of looking at the world is kinda unconventional and it catches people off guard. I can be in a room and no one seems to want to talk to me. Maybe it’s a bad vibe I give off or something.

Status Update

Memorial Day has come and gone. I had to work today because of needs of the business. I’m glad to have gotten Monday behind me.

I hope you all had a great day.

My Memorial Day Blood Donation At Blood Assurance #Chattanooga #blooddonor

It’s been awhile since my last blood donation due to my iron not being at what it needed to be. Donating on Memorial Day in the USA seems like the right thing to do. If you can donate blood in your area please do so because there is a shortage nearly everywhere.

Funny Personal Description

Luxurious, fluffy and white…two of these things describe me.

The Sea of Social

It just struck me how much of a sea it is in the social networking community. In all the social sites there have to be millions of posts going on daily. How you find something is pretty amazing. Just think about how much there is to keep up with. Filters aren’t just for Snapchat in this case. Let’s not get drowned shall we.

Pre-Memorial Day Reflection

Monday is Memorial Day in the USA where those who served and sacrificed everything in the military are remembered and honored. A solemn and serious time of reflection and honor to those who are no longer with us because they died for their nation.

APTOPIX Memorial Day California

It is my hope that those who have served and sacrificed over the past few years have done so for all Americans. Freedom and liberty are two words used a lot in the USA and it doesn’t seem everyone has access to those ideals that many people hold fast to their heart and soul.

Yes, I am a liberal but I respect those who chose to wear the uniform of this nation. Not everyone can or will make that choice and its an individual decision. Also not everyone is suited for this type of service. For those who serve who are also a part of the LGBTQ community thank you for being on the wall, on the front lines and doing so even though many in this country hates you just for being who you were born to be.

Let’s remember those who gave all but strive to make that sacrifice worth it for everyone. It’s the American way isn’t it?
