Seriously?

I don't get why some people feel they have to add commentary on every little thing that happens. No matter how many times they are told basically if it doesn't involve them in any way to stay the hell out of it.   perhaps I am the odd one, I have always maintained the idea that if anything I was thinking of saying didn't add anything of merit to what was happening it was best to keep my mouth shut, less i look like a dumb ass. I still really don't get it. My boss hired a new employee. They we

Breezewood, PA

Sounds kind of idyllic such that you might expect to see Clark Gable or William Powell driving by in a 1934 Oldsmobile L-34 convertible with Mirna Loy or Claudette Colbert sitting in the passenger seat. Actually, it's a lot of neon and tourists.   I got my load going west, but it doesn't pick up until Monday afternoon. So I drove over here to sit until tomorrow morning when I also need a blood test. According to the AT&T online Yellow Pages, there's a diagnostic lab in Greensburg where I c

Work, work, work

Busy, busy, busy   A few weeks ago I got a call from a headhunter who was looking for field engineers in my area for a big project.   Well I did one site which turned out to be an audition and was offered a contract.   Long story short- I got a contract with a major national bank to do network upgrades for Mississippi branches and it looks like I'm going to be super busy at least through November.   I won't be around as much as I usually am and some of my projects are going to have to wa

Clearly, I've not been watching enough movies

My back brain has decided that I've not been watching enough monster movies, and has seen fit to provide them for me. Nearly every day for the last week has come with a monster or horror driven nightmare. Today, I was a dimension-skipper, trying with my cousin and some guy we picked up along the way to stay ahead of an alien race that seeks to devour the human race. Apparently, we really do taste good with ketchup. The dream even saw to providing standard movie tropes, such as the burgeoning lov

Manchester, PA

Seriously folks, I thought I had this thing beat. I thought everything was going to be peachy again, you know, like it was when I was simply delusional or before that when I was too scared to open my closet door. It been down hill since then.   I was feeling pretty good last weekend and earlier this week. I was doing pretty good, too. Everything was coming up roses.   Well, somebody has to fertilize the roses if they're going to look good so we're in for some heavy shit.   I'm down; there

I'm not getting better...just older

Warning: self-pitying, whiny post ahead     So it's almost my birthday and I've been trying to forget it...isn't easy though, I told one friend months ago when it was during a time when I wasn't stressed out about it and damn if they don't all know now!   I keep getting that, "So what are we doing for your birthday?" question.   Don't get me wrong; I appreciate the sentiment, but I'll be honest, here's what I want to do on my birthday: I want people to send me a nice text, or a brief, c

LLWS Semi-finals - 21 Aug 2008

I just finished watching the last of the semi-finals in the Little League World Series tournament. I was really pulling for the Florida and Maryland teams, but they both got defeated by Louisiana, and Louisiana will now be going to the U.S. championship game on Saturday, facing the team from Hawaii. The Louisiana team is very impressive, and their ace pitcher reminds me a lot of Grady, mainly in that he throws over 80 mph. That's very impressive for a 12 year old kid, and is the equivalent of 10

blogligent = negligent blogging?

UGH! I had a HELLUVA week at work... I may have mostly recovered now. Although, I'm still trying to figure out if dealing with crappy people is part of what I get paid for, and if those crappy people should include my coworkers. Luckily, most of the people I work with don't suck too bad, and I have some great friends there.   Let's see if I can sum up my week... Someone dumped several live catfish in our parking lot and all the stray cats in the area came to feast on their flopping around bod

New classes are starting

My new classes start tomorrow. I'm a little nervous, but I'm excited too. Some of the classes I'm going to be taking later will be interesting. For now I'm just taking a couple of introductory classes until around November. After that, I will take a web design class, and that's the one I really want to take. I know some HTML, but I want to learn some of the other stuff, because there's only so much that HTML can do. Now that I don't have the severe depression holding me back, I'm ready to move f

West of Fargo, ND

I'm not quite certain how far west because it was late last night and I was too tired to venture into that wonderful city. I have to venture in this morning because I need a blood test. I've picked out a clinic and hopefully they'll be willing to help a trucker in need. What I really hope is there'll be parking for the big rig somewhere close to the clinic. I don't have a lot of time to drive all over Fargo looking for a place to park the big rig so I can get some blood drawn.   Last night as

Cutey Honey The Live 1st episode

This is a show called Cutey Honey The Live. It's got a lot of martial arts action. For those who are into it, there is a young Asian woman who wears a really tight outfit.   This is the first episode in 3 parts. Did I mention the gratuitous violence and the fact that it's live-action anime?   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvMwXlONhJU   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnXRjhqePXA   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FB94cQ4PjT4

Tiger's Jungle Clearing (new name)

I'm always looking for a name for my blog, believe it or not. I haven't found the perfect one, but this one will do for now. If anyone has any interesting ideas, I would love to hear them. I guess I'm just picky about for some reason, as though it's difficult for me to figure out what I really want. Hmmmm... that seems to be a repeating theme for me. It always gets me into trouble. I guess it could be worse.

Egotistical Snobs and Power Hungry Losers

Don't those two types of people just annoy the f**k out of you? I'm just so tired of coming across those people. Sure, everyone is a bit snobby in their own way. But there's a difference between actually meaning it or half-meaning it and joking about it in a funny, endearing way. When someone is a snob, and a serious one at that, I just want to punch them! Hardcore! Yes, I have anger issues. I have a punching bag to remedy that. I refused my mom's offer of anger management or some new program ca

Moses Lake, WA

Moses Lake is an odd little city in the middle of the Columbia Basin. It is also an actual lake; technically a reservoir when Crab Creek was damned in 1900 for irrigation purposes. That original reservoir is much bigger today because of the Columbia Basin Reclamation Project. I spent the night here and will be heading east within the hour. Back in the mid-Eighties I applied for a typesetting position here with a small webpress, but didn't get it because they hired a guy from Wenatchee. It was a

frustrated...

That about sums everything up in a nutshell. I've been hella frustrated as of late, my writing is at a stand still. I spend weekends mired in Family crap, and the week over burdened at work, because three people assumed the middle of August was high time to quit with out giving any notice. I want to scream but realize that is counter productive. to top everything off my F'n libido has chosen now to kick into high drive.   The most difficult thing is I have been so set in my ways for the last

Happy Birthday!

I've always considered 13 to be a lucky number for me mostly because I was born at 11:30 p.m. Another thirty minutes and I'd have been an August 14th baby, but that was not to be as my mother had been in labor since the 10th of August. I've heard labor in an agonizing experience and I'm glad I didn't have to go through it. Depositing my seed in the proper recepticle was a lot more fun, even though at the time I was probably imagining it was Robert Redford who was the receiver.   Don't ask me w

I hate cops

Alright, I'm normally not one to blog, as you can tell by my last blog date. But my mind is jumbled and I need to get some thoughts out.   Ok, the blog title is a bit unfair. I don't hate ALL cops. Far from it. Cops do have their duties and so many cops have risked their lives trying to help and save people. And by God, I love Law and Order shows, but those detectives, no men in uniform, work on real hard cases. Nevertheless, even uniform cops have their purposes. They're the first line of de

Disappointment in the color of silver

Call me crazy, but I thought the US Women's Gymnastics Team basically gave away the gold medal last night. One of the women fell off the balance beam. The same one fell during the floor exercise. It was definitely a disappointment. They could have won if not for the fact that they made so many mistakes. I will say, however, that I am at least relieved that they won silver and did not do so poorly as not to medal at all. With huge mistakes like that, it could have been much worse. I was just hopi

Love is...yeah, about that

Wanted to get this down before I went to bed for the morning.   A few weeks ago, a friend asked me how I could tell I was in love. Or, rather, how he could tell he was in love, but whatever. I demurred; said I'd only been in love the once for real, and it was quite one-sided, so my experiences can't exactly be considered definitive, but he pressed. So the best I came up with was "when he was cut, I bled."   Since then, I've been trying to find a better way to sum up my thoughts on love, the

ack!

I'm so bad! I haven't posted here in so long! I'm so sorry everyone.   As most know, I've been sick, or very, very busy. One extreme or the other, never somewhere inbetween. I have been writing, having posted more chapters of A Butterfly's Dream, a couple more one shots, including my pride and joy A Campers Nightmare. My mother has also sprained her foot (ouch), so I've been taking care of her for the past few days. I do plan on continuing to write, but I've also discovered a few new bunnie
