Not sure where to begin. I
slept 11 hours last night. I only get 5 hours or so sleep during
the week. I leave at 5:00 a.m. and get home late in the
afternoon. After a brief relaxation I try to accomplish as much
as I can before eating, bed and starting all over again.
I spent some time this morning just staring at the keyboards. I
needed to finish this song but my inspiration is as finicky as a
house cat these days. So realizing that music wasn't going to be
written, I checked my email accounts and retired to the den for
some coffee and news. You must realize by now that my life is as
exciting as yours is.
I finally pulled myself off the couch to go fill my truck and get
a wash. We have had an invasion of huge moths here in Texas.
Every morning I run into their attack forces attempting to
pulverize my truck in a failed endeavor to distract me so they
can gain control of my brain stem. It seems that either there
real stupid or very brave as their squadrons' attack in waves of
destruction. By the time I arrive at work, there is only 50%
visibility through the windshield. If their purpose was to
disable my visibility, they have succeeded, but if there were
surreptitious motives, they have yet to succeed. So after sitting
trough the "deluxe" car wash, there are still the very
noticeable remains of the suicidal moths. At least some remains
were washed away, but it looks like manual rinsing before
completely finding my full plane of view through the glass. So
I wandered into the station, picked up some beer, wrote a check
for 60 bucks for both tanks on my truck, and left.
Once I arrived back home, I watched a special on MSNBC about a
couple that had their baby stolen. Naturally the police suspected
them and went as far as fabricating evidence to try to convict
them. What happened to the world? When did I miss the
destruction of society and values? It must have been one of
those fun weekends at the lake lucking out and not killing myself
on water skis and avoiding the unseen dangers lurking below.
Now I've just come in from power spraying the pool deck. Two and
a half hours shooting 2000 P.S.I. water at concrete and coping. I
went without a shirt, as the heat was unbearable. Did I get
sun? I won't know until I hit the shower and feel the pain from
the hot water washing over scorched areas of my body. Happy happy
joy joy. Sometimes my thinking ahead process is disabled for
brief periods of time causing emotional and physical pain. Will I
ever learn? Only time holds the answer.
Now I know I should have been in the attic replacing the cat5
cable for our Ethernet network, but now I think I'm going to call
it a day and start sipping on some beer. My back hurts form
bending over spraying, my left foot hurts from accidentally
shooting it with the power sprayer and I stink.
Oh, one more thing. To top off the day, my mom calls. Seems I
forgot to call her on mothers' day. Of course I did talk to her
the day before, but as mothers are so astute to point out your
absentmindedness and subconsciously implanting feelings of
guilt and shame, it was to no avail telling her I'm sorry. So I
talked and took my licks.
I'm off for a shower, beer and a good movie. I hope you had a
wonderful Saturday.

P.S. NightShadow You sound like you have a strong grasp on your
reality. That's strength in the selection of where you want to be
later in life. If you have doubts about your direction, start
planning now and I believe you will achieve your goal.
