Way down yonder

snippets from the odyssey thats was GA's Dallas 2008...   Cleaning ceilings is apparently passe. It shouldn't be, the strangest things end-up, up there. You only need to watch 'Something About Mary' to understand that liquids often do defy the laws of gravity. The first room I checked into did indeed have what appeared to be a trail of blood along the ceiling directly over the bed.   That coupled with the view of the u-haul rental place and the 1/2 star accommodation's flanking... well I wen

Did I ever tell you about the time...

So I've had a great many very interesting experiences in the last few months that I haven't recounted in my blog due to lack of free-time and/or poor motivation. Tonight I felt like writing up a quick blog, so I've decided to share one particularly harrowing event which occurred about a month ago.     It was a typical enough day. I was sitting in class (as teacher not student, unlike any current 'I was sitting in class' stories) and I decided that since I had so much to do it would be good

Seeking a Job....

I guess it's impossible to find a job when your former job screws you over and gives you a bad reference. I used to work at a movie theatre and I left them because I was constantly over worked and underpaid and (the last straw) was when I was told I was wrong for calling the police on a customer who decided to threaten my life by beating the crap out of me until he "smashed my head in" (needless to say the guy did have an outstanding DV charge and a warrent issued for such). I spoke today wit

hot bliggety-blog

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, 'I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed.'   She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches.   Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.   She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button.

Back from Texas

My parent's live in fear of me running away to Texas. Not so much the Teas part as the running away, though they are a bit leery of Texans too. During a certain era in US history (which at one point I could have named but now the time period escapes me), the phrase "Gone to Texas," oft shortened to "GTT," meant you had pulled stakes and gotten the f**K out of town with no intention to return. Given my past, my parents are probably quite correct to fear that I will one day do exactly that. I'm no

If Obama really wants to win in November

There's only one choice for his VP pick. Hopefully, he's smart enough to know what he has to do and who he has to run with.     I can't imagine that Obama could find a better running mate than Senator Jim Webb. There's nothing the republicans can say about Senator Webb's patriotism, his honorable military service or his executive experience. This man is a real American hero, and if there are any doubters out there, check this out.....   Webb received the Navy Cross for actions on July 10,

Remix

So yesterday I get a call from Jeremy, apologizing again and wanting to hang out because he's bored and doesn't really have much to do. What a coincidence, I'm generally bored with nothing to do too. So, I agree to hang out and when he gives me a call after work I suggest we play a game of Axis and Allies - an exceedingly complex board game that can go on for hours and hours. I also suggest he ask Aaron to come over and play as well...   It seems that between talking to Jeremy that afternoon a

Bottoming Out (and no this is not a sexual reference)

These days I am feeling profoundly depressed. I just don't know how I can take it much longer. Everything in my life seems to be a complete wreck. I feel as though I am next to nothing, as though every thing I touch just turns to sh*t. I think I really need to get to a doctor soon, or I don't know what will happen. This time seems even worse than the time when I was in my teens, but not quite as bad as the episode during my early 20's. Still, it does not seem to subside at all. Right now I don't

Weatherby, OR

Weatherby isn't much more than a Rest Area on I-84 and a siding on the UP mainline to Portland/Seattle (a mixed freight is chugging up the hill right now).   So, why am I writing this entry?   I'm supposed to leave in 15 minutes. (It's now 15 minutes ago; been writing for a bit.)   I'm goin to be home tonight. Yipee!   Bonita will pee with excitement.   The wife will get a hug and a peck on the lips. She might complain about my lack of romantic involvement. I love her, but not THAT way

Idiots who stay with possessive-obsessives

Okay, So I've been had.   I don't know what to think/believe when it comes to the veracity of Aaron's claims. I do know that I don't trust him. Amusingly enough I actually put more weight in the word of his possessive-obsessive ex at this point.   It seems that Aaron had told him he would try to work things out with him. Hence the shock when he peaked through the window and saw Aaron jacking me off. Hence the emotional outburst a few minutes later. Hence the call I received from Jeremy a lit

I Blame Comicality, CJames and ADD

So here I am chugging along in my writings when I start to browse some of the hosted authors for ideas in how to elaborate and write in detail on how characters interact when I stumble upon GFD (Gone From Daylight) written by Comicality. This was about a week or so ago. Now here I sit, writing in my blog about two things, how amazing this story is and how I have ADD when it comes to new technology.   One. This story is AMAZING in every sense of the word. It's written in such detail that I fe

Chaotic... A tiger currently without a homeland

I just deleted the entry about a hiatus. It looks like that will not be the case. I am currently out of the Land of Oz, because now the electricity at home is off completely. KCPL did come out and fix what they needed to fix. However, we cannot get into contact with the electrician at present. This means that I will be staying in Missouri for a day or two. In fact, I am there right now. Thus, I am away from my homeland. I really want this nightmare to be over. I want to be able to go home and ha

Counting Carbs

I sometimes will post some of the articles at my site The Talon House.   How good are your carb counting skills? Take this quiz and find out... more>   I took this quiz to see how well I'd do since I count carbs as part of my daily treatment.   Breakfast: 1/4 Lunch 4/4 Dinner 2/4   Try you luck and see how well you do and post your results.

Posessive-Obsessive Exes

Last night... what a trip.   I get a call from Aaron who I hadn't heard from in two weeks apologizing about not calling because he'd not had any access to a phone and the bitch of a roomate who does have a phone refused to let him use it.   He says that he and a bunch of friends, including his ex, are going to be meeting at a park to hang out for a while and he invites me to come along. So I do - this is about 10pm. By around midnight the other friends have all left and its just me, Jere

The Donor Got Jacked

My mother told me something extremely interesting and more than just a little hilarious today. As you all well know, I do not like my sperm-donor. Well, karma has bitten him squarely upon the ass, and it made me giggle.   He was robbed recently.   He was at work (offshore) and his wife was not home.   They took EVERYTHING. A few items missing:   -.45 pistol -Big screen TV -Computers -500 dollars in cash -Checks   Every drawer was up-ended. Every cabinet was raked bare. N

Wrong hard drive, you freakin' moron

Well, my writing is now at a stand-still. How I forgot about this, I am unsure. I have been using the desktop to store all my stories. While I had been backing up stories on the laptop, I had not done so recently. Recently, there have been issues at home where the electricity does not work properly because of the crazy people who once lived there. Now I have to wait for Kansas City Power and Light to fix the electricity before I can write again. So yes, the idiot would be me.

So what now?

Disclaimer: I'm writing this blog entry with about an hour's worth of sleep. One of my friends lost his dad last night, and along with the rest of our crew, I've been at his house off and on all night and morning. Please forgive me if I don't make any sense.   So Barrack Obama's the Democratic nominee for the year 2008. Hillary is out(though not technically), and everyone's wondering what's next. More specifically, everyone wants to know if Obama will pick wild Hillary to be his VP. Well gues

Damn Sex in the City!

...For making Cosmos trendy! I've never even seen a single episode of the show, and I've been drinking that drink for years. Now this movie comes along and suddenly I look like every other gay boi in Houston when I order one!   William was even drinking them the other night! That's not his drink! He's supposed to drink red bull and vodka! (mind you, given what a dangerous combo that is for one's heart I'm glad he did switch in that respect)   This simply will not do! Until further not

Anger Management: Party Of 1

Ah now everyone here and comfortable? too damn bad!!   So what can you do when you feel like a bomb thats dangerously close to exploding? I've found that well placed glares work best.   and the best part? The madder you get and hold it the more menacing the glare gets until people are struggling to get away from you.   Now before you say anything I know you shouldnt keep your anger in and its harmful to your health and all that other crap.   I just wanted to maintain my little piece(p
