A little black rain cloud

A few entries ago, I identified California's seasons as being: Tourist, Fire, Holiday Shopping, and Mudslide. Lo and behold, a mere week after the last throes of shopping had faded, the sky opens up and drops more rain on us in two days than we've had in the last six months.   I was supposed to go visit my parents this "weekend" (which, this week, was today and yesterday), but tmy parents live in a rural area. An area that is pristine in its natural beauty, and has roads that flood out at the

Jokes in really bad taste

Q: What was the last thing to go through Pakistani oppisition leader Benazir Bhutto's mind when she was killed by a suicide bomber?   A: Her hubcaps.     A man was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw a man eating grass by the roadside. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. "Why are you eating grass?" he asked the man.   "I don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.   "Oh, please come to my house!"   "But sir, I have a wife and four

Wish Me Luck

I'm half way through the last pack of cigarettes I have in the house. Tomorrow morning I slap on one of those nicotine patches.

The lost blog

Yesterday morning before leaving Corning, CA, I wrote a blog entry, but when I checked last night it wasn't here.   So, either I didn't hit the right button and zoned out or the entry went to that place commonly referred to by techies as, "it's not supposed to do that." When you don't know blame the machine.   Frankly, I think, due to my current state of unmind, that I destroyed the entry on my own. Things are not as they should be. I'm beginning to lose track of time. And, my decision makin

MSN, Finances, And Villainy

Okay, so how's it going, guys? My MSN list is officially a wasteland. Once upon a time, I could sign in and have wondrously meaningful and interesting or at least just random funny conversations at any time of day or night. Now... there is never a soul online. I have like five people that I ever speak to, and everyone else is just... gone. My solution: greeneyeliner39429@hotmail.com, come entertain me sometime. Yah, random, but I like having people to talk to and I like being social someti

US vs Canada

Head to head, the US can't stand on the same field as Canada.   For health care, human rights, progressive vision, a population that understands and supports the value of diversity and dismisses religious fanatics and bigotry: Canada has it all over the US.   This is one match the US had better sleaze its way out of of they'll be reminded what an embarrassment that they really are: the spoiled wretched weak children of strong parents who deserved better: trading freedom for fear, looting the

Still together but alone again

So I've been having a really wonderful few weeks!!   Incredibly awesome actually! Everything's going well and I've been having a blast!   Something interesting happened yesterday that made me feel a bit like I was in a sitcom. As I mentioned in my comments in the last blog, my best friend had kinda sorta started seeing this guy. It was confusing, and the other guy didn't really know what he wanted. Meanwhile, I'd been kinda, sorta seeing this cute Japanese boy *cues Vapors song* Actual

Too much black

I didn't get a shower last night or this morning in Corning because I planned to get one tonight or tomorrow morning at the truck stop in Wheeler Ridge.   Nice plan, except they're having a power outage here.   And, the wind is still blowing. The big truck is rocking and rolling and I'm not even listening to iTunes. Luckily, I hope, it takes about a 70 mph gust to knock over a loaded big truck.   So, it's really dark here and I'm not going to get a shower. They'd better get power by tomo

Ikaria Here I Come

whoo hoo!!!   I just got off the phone with my grandpa and he told me that he wanted to do something special for me this summer since it's going to be my last summer vacation in high school. I halfway jokingly mentioned that I wanted to go to Greece and visit the island of Ikaria (that's where our family's from) and he was all, "Okay!" So I talked to my dad and he said it was okay, so it looks like I'll be Greece bound this summer. :icon1:   The only thing that I need to worry about now is

spicy fingers, update on sucking the big one, butterscotch

Happy last day of 2007 everyone! Kay that's done...   So I just finished making home made salsa and it's SOOOOOO yummy, but now, as I'm eating it, I keep licking my fingers and they're spicy! I washed my hands three times since I made it... freakin' peppers...   So update on my 12 year-old... she managed to talk me into grounding her for a second week by being over at that same kid's house again, with those same boys, while she was grounded, and then lying about it. This is how it went

Did it!

I know this is worth about as much as the paper it's not printed on, but I just finished reading every story in the Winter Anthology.   Yeah, yeah, I know, so what?   Well, I also went to each and every forum and entered a comment about what I liked about the story. I, also, sent a PM to one of the authors with some personal comments that I felt were inappropriate for the forum. (No, it wasn't something nasty. I liked the story and felt the writer could've done a better job. So, I made a few

Not sleeping

It's midnight and I'm not sleeping. I'm not sleepy, either. I am cold, though.   I was driving south on I-5 and needed to pee, but there wasn't any parking at the rest area. So, I drove to the Love's truck stop south of Roseburg. When I came out I noticed the air hoses under the trailer were not hanging by the spring. The service line had been worn through. Of course, if it had been the other line, I'd have been up the highway with locked brakes, not a pretty scenario.   Needless to say, I w

Blah

Maybe it's a side effect of heavy THC exposure, or maybe my bf Taylor is just a moron, but just when I think he can't say anything stupider than he already has, he proves me wrong. Here's what happened.....   We have a friend Suzie who got pregnant last year and had a baby over the summer. We didn't really like the guy that got her pregnant, but nobody ever said anything bad about him to her. I think he was kinda controlling, but no one else seemed to pick up on that. For the most part, we jus

Happy Endings

I was chatting on MSN the other night and the subject of Happy Endings came up. It seems there is a trend against them. People tire of reading them, convinced that they don't exist.   Call me an idealist, but isn't that the point of a happy ending? Is it not an escape from the reality we know and see everyday? Truthfully, how many of us have personal knowledge of a sustained Happy Ending? Who is to say Cinderella and Prince charming fell into a loveless distant relationship after the whirlwind

Grope me, please.

Apparently that's the vibe I was giving off last night. I went to Club tigerheat for the first time yesterday with two of my girlfriends. We got there around 11, and had to wait in line for an hour to get in, but it was actually a lot of fun! It's only the second club I've ever been to (Rage being the first), and I have to say I really liked it. The go-go boys were really cute, and the music was fun to dance to, give or take a couple of songs.   It was fun, that is, minus the groping. I

Modesto of my dreams

I'm on the road, again. Wednesday, I picked up a trailer full of Coke and took it to Redding and Marysville, CA. Then it was down to Modesto to pick up what I'm carrying now. Hopefully, I'll drop the trailer in Portland tonight and pickup another trailer headed south. I need to maximize my on-road time for the next few weeks. It was nice being off over Christmas; well, it was mostly nice being off over Christmas.   The wife is sick. She has a cold.   "My nose burns!"   "You have a cold."

Killing me softly

I picked up today Lois McMaster Bujold's Paladin of Souls. Bujold is a favorite author of mine, so by page two I was grinning, enthralled with her words. I've been reading rapturous, for the last hour, but it just now hit me why I like this story so much.   I wanted to write it.   Well, not exactly this story, the details aren't all there, but a story I developed three years ago opens along the same premise as this. One woman, nominally mistress of her domain, feeling more like she's been cl

B-rated dreams

What does it mean when you dream about home, but the home you dream about is a house you haven't lived in for ten years?   In keeping with earlier crack-headed dreams; I had a dream last night. It was odd in the way anyone blowing their head off is odd. I was at home and there was this strange guy there. Mid 50's stocky and bald, I don't know this person. I don't know why he was in my head last night. I surely don't know why my head decided it was prudent for him to remove his.   I think he

Bummer!

The mouse pad gave out. Nothing lasts forever. We live in an era of programmed obsolescence. Use a mouse pad on a laptop too much and it stops working. Not the pad, the switches. Switch the switches, but they still wear out.   So, I bought a replacement mouse. Its lifespan was a couple years and then it gave up the ghost and died. Not, the mouse, the cord.   Plus, the USB plug-ins on the laptop are right next to the power connection. They interfere and the monitor flashes every time the lapt

Goal Setting:::: 2008

Lately I've been thinking a lot about what I want to accomplish as a writer in the year 2008, and I'm pretty sure I have it all figured out.

Doing it!

Okay, I've said this before, so if you're not interested or if you're put off by my incessant whining, you're excused from reading further.   I considered commiting the ultimate sacrifice tonight.   No, I did not consider offing myself.   Get that out of your heads right now.   I'm too F**KIN' chicken to do myself in. I can't stand the thought of experiencing a nanosecond of terminal pain.   No, I considered going away for awhile.   You see, the thing is, there might be enough money
