Kids are cute. Went to my nieces pre-k graduation today. What a big production! They sang 2 songs and did the whole cap & gown thing. Walked up and got their 'diplomas'.... kind of silly really. But it's fun I guess. 

I got to hang with my sister. (technically my ex step-sister, but fuck all that.) Also got to play a Wii! those things are a trip! My niece just wings her arm in a seemingly haphazard fashion while not really paying attention to what she's doing .....and punishes! what the f? getting pwnd by a little kid sux. *folds arms*

At one point, mum called. mum...she's seemed pretty needy the past several weeks. I fear she expects me to be her social outlet. She refuses to get involved with any social activities or groups. She really should.... wow *rant* ...all she called for was a cord for a monitor but I always cringe when she calls. "OK, great. I'll just kiss this next half hour good bye." heh... ok i know, I sound like an asshole but I DID take the cord over to her when we got back this evening, so :P

Ugh, anyway most of my precious saturday was spent on things NOT revolving around ME! which sux cos I'M the pretty princess!!! dammit....

Woke up to Glenn Beck. I know, 'Dude? Conservative talk radio? What the F?' But he cracks me up! I guess I agree with some of the points he makes and disagree with others. Overall, to me, it's just entertainment.

Worked out while scanning my CAD Cert after swaping out perphs. Have to REswap cos 'all-in-one' is a FUCKING LIE!!! LIES! *runs outside and murders the first person he sees* ....whoa. Too much coffee.

I have to update my resume with new data and start looking into getting some experience in this line of work. I'm not sure where the river will take me but I know where I want it to take me. Best I can do is try to guide this little raft that is my soul towards the light I see on the horizon. 

Now that there IS a light on the horizon....

Hmmm..... I should prolly trim these nose hairs. Yeah, that's nasty. Hey! I'm only human!

I should trim my feenger nails too. My band MIGHT actually practice tonight! What a concept....

*wanders off*

At first I wanted to say that it's not the same as it was back in WWII. But....i'm not sure. I have doubts about what our gov't is/was up to. Some may say "pssh DUH?!?!?" but I'm lazy and just don't seek out facts and data to support any pros or cons.

Lazy.

Say there IS shaddy shit going down. What's being done about it? My being lazy is just part of my generations apathy to the world. I'm not trying to speak for ALL 36yr olds but we're not gathering and taking up arms very well are we?  OK fine, a few get together and some punk throws a newspaper stand through a window of The GAP. grrr. That'll show em. Too few. Too easliy stifled. The way they wan't it. It looks like we have freedom but we're all too busy to really fight back If we're not happy with this that or the other. Keep the Bees busy. Get em in debt and have them pump out a kid or two. Yeah, go risk arrest by protesting now yuppie!

And the kids now. Pssh.... seems like they're too busy fucking each other over. Or posting a blog about how mad they are....(grin, yeah yeah, shut it)...and not going out and DOING anything.

Lazy.

I shouldn't be up and typing.....  My intenent here is to say I respect those who have died but I'm pretty damn sure most of them shouldn't have and no one is going to DO anything about the ones who will die in the future. I know i'm not. I have to go to work in a few hours.

Lazy.

Hi. I'm insane.

OK. 5/23. A Friday. 

I woke up. 

Rolled around.

The Bishop wouldn't go away so I roughed him up a bit. 

I hadn't received a text with my marching orders so I called the bank to see if my check went in. OK. i'm not fired. So I txt the sales rep with "I guess I have the day off?" No luck. He fired back with a list of stores to hit.

Got dressed. Noticed I need new Dr Scholls. But I think I noticed that yesterday. And the day before... anyway. Brushed my teeth and out the do'.

Got Coffee, smokes, water and a narsty egg/cheese/ham...thing. 

Work was work. Actually it was cool. Short, easy day. Several of the stores I went to and just signed in,  moved a few things around in the back freezer and left. Easy breezy cover girl! 

At the last store however, I ran into Mum. I love her to death but the gal is a crisis MAGNET! She tells me how she dropped her lappy and the screen is basically jacked. I've been waiting for that. She puts (put) it in all these 'umm, no, wrong!' positions. Precariously teetering on a table designed for a tea cup and MAYBE a napkin. A paper napkin. One of those cloth joints would topple it for sure. Anyway, she was bent out of shape and i don't blame her but...she asks for it. I feel bad but what can one do? I was bummed...

THEN! I stroll in the door and see a Jesus approved package on the table! AH! I know what that is! Sweet, awesome, pretty Bekka said she was sending me a copy of JTHM. I still have a post-it note in my wallet demanding I enter a comic shop and purchase it. Her recommendation from months ago. But I kept seeing the note at all the wrong times. Sooo she VERY generously hooked a brotha up.

On emptying the contents of the envelope I see she ALSO sent a copy of Kudzu. A book her old college put out with written writings from righteous writers in which she is ALL OVER cos of rad!. She said she would send a copy of it but I found out earlier that she only received two copies. Both her and her mum should have had a copy to read, enjoy and keep for all time. But I got a copy... and she signed it to me.... no way I could try and send it back. Not that I would want to but....signed. to ME! I still feel beyond special. I'm just too damn lucky!

Does it end there? oooooh hell no.... tucked in Kudzus table of contents is a pic with 4 pics of her visit to Florida. I have all these pics on the comp. I look at them regularly. But THIS was awesome and sweet and actually saved me from my verklempt state at being a recipient of her first published works. Her face will always save me. I went out and got a frame for it to sit right in front of me at my desk thing/ cd holder/ black hole of lost items. i can also look over at her perched atop my TV area, looking toward the Gulf of Mexico.

I miss her. I love her.

I was feeling so 'on top of the world', I did something I hadn't done for many moons. I went for a bike ride. My normal route along the water to downtown and back. Felt good.

OK, I have din din cooling down. Cheekon geeewd. No practice tonight as the drummer got tix to some sports team/ thing/ event.  Quality time with his son. Good deal.

That was my day. One of my better ones.
