...so much for relaxing...Nyquil hasn't kicked in like these past few nights...just watched "SIDEWAYS". Interesting movie, kinda depressing, kinda funny..just have to be in the mood for it, I guess.
...speaking of, I found a copy of "TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING...JULIE NEWMAR"...a favorite of mine. Now if you happen to be homophobic, too bad (get over it...some straight people I've met ain't that great)..it's a great story. Amazing seeing Wesley Snipes as Blade (love those long coats) in one role, then as a drag queen in another.
...the I-love-firecrackers dick is at it again...maybe I'll get lucky one night and hear him screaming because he was too stupid to let go if one...just once....oh please, oh please...just once....
...please "meet" some people who've been stopping by...I'll be asking Britt to link them thru here, but until then, read the last post's comments and check out Seamus and Ron...
...one more thing...check this out...it's really warped and sometimes sick...just our kind of thing....

...this freakin' cold is driving me nuts...seems to have stopped it's route thru here and wants to stay awhile. I hope it's gone by next weekend because I'm taking the killer dog and we're going camping...Starved Rock..I've already got my reservation...confirmation...sounds so official...then hiking thru Matthison (sp) State Park. How 'bout we possibly meet for a campout later this summer, Nik? I just needed to get away for awhile...
...as usual...mostly boring stuff..so everyone have a great weekend...stay safe...I'm getting a craveing for something, not sure what...but I'm gonna figure it out, go get what ever it is I want, then it's back here to hole up with a good movie, eat some food that is probably bad for me, drink some more Nyquil, and relax....

...maybe it's because I'm home with a cold and sipping on Nyquil all day...but I feel a weirdness in the air...people seem to be...touchy...rude (more so than usual)...I've seen a lot of the police (not in a personal way...just everywhere)...ya know how you meet someone and they look and seem like normal people...polite...good looking...etc....but for some reason they give you the creeps?
...this town has had it's share of badness in the past (for such a small town, a lot of badness)...I have no idea why I feel like this...I just do...which makes me glad I'm at home...inside...I just hope all it is is a feeling...

..is it just me, or is that giant king from the Burger King commercials creepy? Some guy opens his curtains and there's this guy...dressed as a king...with a giant smiling plastic head...he gives the guy in the window a breakfast sandwich...and this guy happily eats the sandwich...and all the little birdies sit on the king....as he smiles.....~shudder~
...there's also the one where a guy wakes up and finds the king in bed next to him...smiling.....
...and I swear I heard this on another commercial..."are you not happy with the tampon you're in?"



.......are you kidding?

...so...what's with the weather...I was enjoying the 70 degree weather...NOT the 80 degree and certainly NOT the 50 degree...
...I got called into my boss' office today...apparently I had too much overtime...I worked too long on Friday..it doesn't make any difference that I got dumped on with all these water samples that HAD to be done by Saturday...nor does it matter that my other boss, after looking up something while I was at lunch, saved most of my work in another file, thus making us think I didn't keep track of anything all day...(of course, I had to reenter all of it.) What is it about being in charge that turns some people into a tyrant? Sure, some employees you have to get tough with...those are usually the lazy asses that never seem to get into trouble...but no need to bitch at me because I come in early...I do my work...I am an entertaining individual most of the time because, if you have fun at work it goes better...besides...my motto is..."it's either laugh or cry" and I'd rather laugh until it's absolutely necessary to cry...

...still, it's good to be a peon....

...I saw something that kind of bothered me today. It's another cool day, but it being a Saturday, kids are out of school. I noticed a boy of about ten walking towards the park, a fishing pole in his backpack. We have a big lagoon in the park where you can go for a paddleboat ride or fish off the side from the sidewalk. People bring lawn chairs or just sit on the ground, so I'd guess he was on his way there. Now this kid was not a scrawny runt, nor was he a heavy child. He looked like your average ten year old walking down the street. He was alone.
...I know of only two times that there have been missing children...one I believe they found in a box car (dead), and the other was never found at all (probably dead). A friend of mine lost her only son to a friend's (allegedly) knife...he stabbed him (also allegedly) over drugs, then left him in a field in the middle of July to die. It gets very hot here. He wasn't found until two weeks after he disappeared. Of course they can't prove it...Once a guy killed his girlfriend then tried to dump her body in the country...actually down the other side of the road that Nik used to live on. She said she saw the police cars and a commotion from her window.
...so why would some parent allow their child to walk down to the park alone? Even if he was outside his own front door when I saw him, he was still about four blocks away from the park. I'm assuming that, like all of us, this boy wasn't paying too much to what was around him. It's a Saturday, there's no school, and he's going fishing. If someone wanted him bad enough, he could esaily be taken off that street.
...you may say you can't smother kids too much...let them play and be kids. That doesn't mean you trust someone else to leave them alone. I read this back and it sounds like I'm paranoid. Hell, I don't even have kids...but working retail I also saw where parents "lost" their children.
...sometimes I would think about my friend's son in that field that hot July...two weeks...he probably heard cars go by...people talking...then the animals that must have come along and sniffed around...the bugs...how long did he feel all this?
...unfortunately some people don't realize until it's too late. I just hope there's no headline in the paper tomorrow...BOY MISSING...

...it feels more like Fall than Spring...it's cold outside, and a light rain has been falling for the last few hours. I would prefer it being warmer...you can open windows and enjoy the birdsong...not to mention the fledgelings that always seem to be around...hungry and afraid to take off on their own...one year I saw a male cardinal trying to keep up with two offspring...mouths always open and begging for food, while he was in constant motion. It's nice to look outside and see different birds around here, even when they are considered parasites (I believe I had a brown headed cowbird at one of my feeders). Yes, I feed everybody.

...I've decided that I am NOT very funny...witty...whatever you want to call it...Britt should write for television...Lewis and (I believe his name is Randall) Harley Writer should write books*...Nikki is just plain cute (and I miss her)...Diana has a way about her that makes reading her blog (when she decides to post) a joy...Alex is one of the most interesting people I've met...Troy should be famous in about five years...and Norm, who is one of the smartest people I've sorta met, is still gone...

~sigh~

...time to change the cat litter....

...took the rest of the day off since it was so damn slow AND it will definately get busy later in the week...Fed and I are taking a long, relaxing walk...maybe get some ice cream later...a couple of dvds...isn't it amazing how an ice cream on a warm day can make everything better?
...going to the midnight showing of Star Wars next month....I used to work at the drive in...um...a few years back when the original came out...I loved it. But I'm afraid that, to me, the only good movies are the first two...sorry, ya'll...but the third one was just STUPID and the next two weren't exactly the greatest. This new one should be interesting, not to mention watching all the gee..um..er...people dressed up and pretending...

...time to book.....hope for some rain....

...c'mon someone, please kick my ass...I'm so damn lazy lately it's becoming a problem. I don't know why I can't get it together...while I was sick, I told myself if I get out of this, I will be better...I will do the things I want to do...well, I actually found a used violin about a month ago...nothing wrong with it except I had to restring it...which I did...and now it sits...I even ordered sheet music, with the idea that with a little something to strive for, I'd be good at it...but still it sits. I'll listen to Alison Krauss and imagine what it would be like to play like she does...or Vivaldi...I ordered two of my favorites of his for the violin...and still it sits...

...I'm pathetic....

....I could be writing this from a jail cell...but I was let off easy....Fed and I almost became. fugitives. of the law...
...it would have been easy to just laugh it off...pretend the officer was just being friendly...but I knew as he was looking at the front of my truck AND talking into his radio...that I had a problem.
...looking behind me I see Fed doing what he loves to do on a beautiful day in a big field...he was pooping...and this park officer was walking towards me...(why do they always insist on calling me ma'am?)
...didn't I see the signs..."KEEP DOGS ON LEASH" and "NO PARKING HERE"?
...apparently not..."there's a big dog training area over there that's twice as big" and "it's a five hundred dollar fine"...damn...I didn't know that rampant unleashed dogs were so prevailant...amazing how no one cares if they run in my neighborhood...besides...I hate taking him where everyone else is...can you believe there are some who don't LIKE dogs? But he was a nice guy and wasn't going to give me a ticket...he likes it when "people cooperate"...that's me...very cooperative...so poor Fed had his run cut short...and we came home..
.....so close to a life of crime...


...so what's with the guys who have a car that used to be a cop car? You can tell it used to be a cop car because they leave the search light that always blinds you if you happen to pass a cop car that's stopped someone at night...the cops have a certain type of license plate...plus the fact you see all those antennas all over it...does having this car with the big ass light still attached help get you a woman...or do you like to shine it on people? Also...what's with the shirts that say FBI or EMT or POLICE...when the person wearing it obviously isn't any of these? What if I need help...and I go up to some guy wearing one of these...how would he feel if he had to tell me it was just a fake(I know how I'd feel....shit out of luck)...isn't that impersonating an officer? Isn't that ILLEGAL?? Don't get me wrong...I like cops...most of them around here are good guys...I know because I've needed them several times and they were usually right there...but how can you pretend...and get away with it?
...I just wondered...

...and by the way...I rode on a Harley for the first time ever this afternoon! A guy I used to work with (who happens to be quite handsome) came by to say hello and show off his new ride...then asked if I wanted a ride. It was cool...I told him he was my first time........on a Harley, I mean....

...I must plan one of many camping trips for this year...I hope Federal's around long enough to go with me...poor old guy's really showing his age...that's the bad thing about a pet...they don't live very long....

...it's a beautiful Spring evening...dusk to be more precise...and the weather is perfect...but what's that I hear? The dick down the street who just HAS to light some firecrackers...if there is any justice one day he will forget to let go of one and we'll hear a different sound...I'm sorry if that sounds bad...especially if you are a firecracker lover...but I value my quiet...firecrackers are for 4th of July and New Years...so knock it off, ass****...I enjoy the birds...the crickets in the Summer...when I go camping, I'm going there to get away from everyone else...I don't want to hear a radio blaring next to me...so turn it off...
...to continue my bitch mode...I was surfing the blogs...some are interesting...and came across the "I-want-to-be-a-porn-magazine-tycoon"...some guy posted pictures of some women...all blonde and beautiful and naked...(I assume he types with just one hand most of the time)...I also assume these are from somewhere else because they look professional AND I doubt any of the women he meets look like they do...so go ahead...call me jealous...I don't share...and any guy who does...ewwwwww....

...some bimbo who left work last Friday and moved to St Louis called today and asked someone else to possibly take her dog that she left in the back yard to the pound...WTF?? This idiot then called back about 20 minutes later and said she actually had two dogs...when a coworker and I met animal control (they would only leave a warning for 24 hours if no one was there to sign for the dogs) the officer was waiting and took them away. The older dog was obviously malnourished and had one of those choke chains that have spikes in them...the bitch left it on him...I feel even better knowing this dumbass is about to have twins....what a woman...
