The spider will be so happy

It has been a while since I’ve written part of that is intentional and part of it is because I’ve not taken the time to sort out my thoughts, such that they are thoughts it’s a big mess in my head and I’m partially amazed that I make it out the door with my head together most days and then sitting down to try to put all of that out on paper…well it looks like a sheet of paper hanging there on the computer screen and the words magical appears as I strike the keys under my fingers. Part of the unintentional delay is that I find it hard to start some times. Come up with a title or just write.

Seriously coming up with the titles to these things are quite the puzzler, you try it just sit down come up with a title and then write… yeah that’s what I thought.

Then if you just start writing what direction do you go in with out a map or title if you will. As you can probably discern I chose to go with out a title today and things are a bit scattered.

You think anyone comes up with the perfect title and then starts out to write exactly that thing, hardly …however the process is not what I’m here to talk about today. I’m not sure exactly what I’m here to talk about it part of the problem still, listening to music I’m not familiar with doesn’t help with the ADD either.

It isn’t that I think what I have to say is particularly important and it isn’t really all that unimportant either, who is to say that somehow the printed versions of this stuff isn’t the last bits of the English language left for some far off generation. I know, right.

The idea that something is ultimately more important than another thing is all relative and probably speculative as well. Sure two things laid beside each other on a given day a certain significance can be put upon one over another but what about in 100 years or a 1000 years.

I think we lose sight of things that are right within our reach by looking too far ahead, behind or to our own perceived importance.

However I wonder about effort and luck and how much the two are completely unrelated but tied together. Vince said that to have luck you have to put in a shit ton of effort, he said it better but don’t know how to spell his name correctly and I’m not looking it up and therefore I’m not doing an exact quote either. Effort, yeah I get it there is the difference.

But really what does it matter because do you know Vince? Did you know Vince? Did you ever meet Vince? I’m willing to bet my customary nickel that it is no to all of those so pay up. But the thing is if I say he said something that perhaps he didn’t say but enough people believed that he did then it could become fact or at least a commonly held truth, just like ships captains can’t really marry people just because they are the captain of a ship. Most people believe that they can, doesn’t make it so. However they are likely to ask you to prove it.

So the intentional part of my delay is that I issued a challenge in the last entry and if you utter a challenge it should be left up for a bit to give people a chance to weight it out in their mind to see if they want to accept a challenge or not. If you are not familiar with said challenge, it is simply to have an intimate relationship via words only never meeting the other person and to so via the written word, ie snail mail.

Well, it seems that I have a willing participant in this venture I’m willing to accept others as well the one benefit to written intimacy is that communication is not bound by exclusivity.

However the responder to the challenge has issued a challenge as it were. I noticed that awhile back that someone had been reading a lot of this from this area. For those not here the area is about 350,000 people, so finding exactly who isn’t really that easy. The site meter gives me all sorts of information, like one time someone from the white house was reading my blog, back in the very early days every day for like a month.

So the challenge back is the offer of a written relationship open to someone who could in fact be standing in line right behind me at the store, in the car next to me watching me sing (badly) to the radio, or any number of place around the area that I might happen to find myself in the company of strangers but one of them wouldn’t be completely unknown to me.

I did have an experience of seeing someone reading my page on a lap top in public once, which was odd. That I could have walked up to them and said hey btw I wrote that, would they believe me or would I have to prove what I wrote was what I wrote. So I didn’t say a thing.

Am I willing to dance on the razors edge, close to the fire and risk that someone may be a bit more in the know about me than I think.

It isn’t a one way street though so I would know things about someone that could be standing right next to me, it adds a heightened sense of wonder to the whole experiment. Admittedly I figure that any one who responded would be from further away like my post card senders from here there and everywhere but not ever from the same town.

So Ms. Red Shoes, I won’t explain the name and only that person will know why they are Ms. Red Shoes I am willing to stand close to that fire. I look forward to your reply in my PO Box.

Again if anyone else wants to write to me in snail mail form the address is below of if you just want to send a post card from your town, your favorite place in the whole wide world or just a photo of your bedroom ceiling (got one of those once) I’ll reply if I have a return address and if you don’t want anything back you can just send what you want with no return address. The spider will be so happy if you do and I will be too.

The Adventures of Invisible Don and Real Life Super Hero Guy

Recently Real Life Super Hero Guy became a dad. Now he is not without some knowledge of how to take care of a child but like all new dads there is a bit of wishful thinking and it’s not as bad as everyone says.

Now either RLSHG is just blowing sunshine or it hasn’t really hit the fan yet because well2 month olds really only sleep eat and poop. 80 percent of the time the smile on their faces is gas, it just is and you know that it is but you convince yourself that it is a smile and that the child loves you.

That child has no more concept of love than a middle school kid who is just going to die if their true love doesn’t call them in the next 5 seconds.

However, RLSHG does seem to be just having the best time ever being a brand new dad.

I do some times lay some reality on him from the sacred halls of been there done that dad

In truth, I have great kids who didn’t cause a lot of stress as children …well you tend to color it differently as you get some distance from it but when you are up at 3 a.m. because your child won’t sleep and the only way he will is to drive him around the block 43 times not 42 or 44 but 43 it isn’t really fun in the moment. However, nostalgia takes over and you really do miss those times, not for the 3 in the morning screaming but that they need you more then than they do when they are older.

Both Doodle and Stunt boy did this one thing and I’m sure a ton of other kids do it too. When ever we had to talk to them when they were small under 4 years, there wasn’t a recognition of son, daughter, boy, girl or any other label we put on them aside from their name which is a label as well but not the point.

Saying who is my big girl, Doodle would reply I’m not a girl I’m Doodle of course she said her real name and not doodle.

Same with Stunt boy, I Stunt Boy not your son. He did shorten it to the most simplest form thought and said I Stunt Boy, but at least he didn’t say Me Stunt boy so he was a more evolved than Tarzan. I miss those days but I’m proud of Doodle and Stunt boy.

And if you are reading this stuff for the very first time I did not really name my kids Doodle and Stunt boy, but I have a really mouthful for the next kid I have, which I’m not sure would get approved on a birth certificate Punk Ass Muther F*cker.

It’s better than that Adolf Hitler kid in New Jersey …true story.

Can you imagine Punk Ass’s first day in school and the teacher looks down and sees the name… Oh so priceless… the kid would know it was him or her, because I think that is a gender neutral name and can go either way. But he or she would know it was them because they would be used to that long silence when some hears or sees their name in print and that look of wondering do I say this aloud or not.

And of course when the teacher decided to acronym it to PAMF I would empower the child to say their name loudly and proudly I’m not PAMF I’m Punk Ass Muther F*cker.

So any ladies out there want to have Punk Ass Muther F*cker for me? I’m a good dad ask anyone and it is the best job I’ve ever had and still have, the pay sucks, the hours are long, I’m always on call but it still makes me smile every day, without fail and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

You may or may not be who you say you are

Perspective really depends on so much. If I mentioned a person of note or in the public arena most of you would know that person and perhaps why they are known. The other day prior to the last pro football game of the year or the very expensive advert TV special Stunt Boy says I don’t know who Madonna is. I said seriously

He said, well I do now because I had to look it up.

Really? I said.

He said, Yeah, how old is she anyway? They should probably have someone better do the halftime thing.

Wow, I think but said something about how most people watching the game are older and know who she is and will enjoy the performance.

He said something like yeah I guess

I said we only watch for the commercials anyway

He said yeah that’s true.

So no matter how big you think you are there is someone out there who doesn’t give a rats hind bits who you are and doesn’t know what you do at all.

The gods of electronics seriously do not like me or I have done something to earn their disfavor. The latest list of devices to add to the list of victims is a microwave. It is dead.

I don’t have the money for a microwave.

And mean while mother nature hates me too, not too mention several other lord and deities and perhaps a few other worldly beings have decided like Karma that I should be their whipping boy too.

Hold up, look I understand you all wanting to jump me like a narc at a biker rally, I’m not sure why exactly but sure why not let it be me, but can we take turns please. Perhaps let me get my head above water from time to time because isn’t it more fun to prolong the agony because if you muck it up and kill me to quickly the fun is over then

It’s like batting a balloon around with a bunch of friends it’s simple yet just so much darn fun… until the balloon pops and then everyone including the bystanders go …Awe… and have a look on their faces as if all fun has died. You know the look.

So Karma, and other former persons of note in the pantheon of forgotten lords and what have you all … if it isn’t too much to ask, and I know that it is but I’m asking anyway take your pent up aggression because no one believes in you guys anymore out on some else for a bit and perhaps realize that if it were not for me you wouldn’t be getting any press at all because some kid somewhere is saying who the hell is Karma anyway.

And their dad is saying oh that is who messes with Invisible don

Invisible who?

Ew, Seriously, So Gross

Every time I miss a few days of writing I feel like I should explain why I haven’t been writing. Which I’m not really sure why I feel like this, it isn’t like I get paid to do this thing still just have the urge to explain.

Truth is there isn’t really a reason, I have been feeling just as self deprecating as usual and have had as many completely random things and off track observations running around in my thoughts as always. They just didn’t make it to the blog and off the little bits of paper.

I even have a WTF / WTH thing to write but that will have to wait until next week.

Then too when I stop writing the idea start to back up and get all clogged and when I sit down to write I get all confused as which thing should come first.

Then too the MFL wasn’t there the other day and no it is certainly not what you may think that it may mean however hopefully things will swing back to normal now.

Happy Ground Hog Day, I was in Punxsutawney PA several years ago but not on 2/2 and it isn’t a terribly exciting little town but the main public library has a ground hog zoo. Hey if you were close enough to the town you would go as well and that is what we did.

Even went up to Gobblers Knob and stood where Phil would be if it were 2/2 when I was there. It was a fun little trip and I can say I’ve been there now. Have you?

Doodle seems to be enjoying her self at go away college and Stunt boy is gearing up for summer already and may get is dental bling removed soonish.

I know not much of a blog but hopefully newer editions will be more interesting or at least I’ll bag on myself a bit more to keep the reading flowing along. Getting new things for the SOFUCT so it is a double slam I am particularly excited that now instead of insulting myself 6 different ways I’ll be doing it 12 different ways. If I can make it a trifecta, well that is just too much to hope for but I can dream or more to the point shatter my dreams with the verbal thrashing worthy of royalty, I am king of the bastards after all.

The Ew, Seriously, So Gross Geico ad is currently my favorite thing on mass media right now.

Is this compass broken?

So I have a friend, I know shocking stuff … and this friend has a deficiency of sorts. It isn’t a medical condition or anything like so there isn’t really a need to send cards or prayer requests … well … no, none of that will really help much.

Well come to think of it a family member also has the same thing going on so who knows it might be genetic. But whether it is genetic or not isn’t the point.

This friend and I were talking recently and it came up well what do you, do for me because I had asked them to do something for me.

Now my request wasn’t really a huge deal just find out some information. E-zee P-zee stuff not even difficult at all.

Well I though what do I do for them, and my response was I make you feel better about your “bad” choices. Bad is in quotations because there badness is really relative to how you view the world. Now to some my friend may be morally depraved, I knew I couldn’t spell it, looking it up, hold on … ok it’s fixed but you know that already. So the depravity of my friend depends entirely where you stand on certain issues.

Now, just so we’re clear no one gets hurt in these things. So how depraved is it really. To some this friend is certainly going to burn in hell. Which isn’t something you hear people say too much these days but when they do say it, they mean it and there is no explaining yourself to that person. You just have to hang your head in shame and nod and accept that what they are saying is probably true, according to the world in their perspective.

For me it is entertaining because I’m not a part of any of the choices and there really isn’t any impact for me and I don’t really see that the things this friend is doing are wrong. They are just things people do. I also know that once this friend has things in their life going in a direction that is clearer and more clearly defined by the other involved in the direction then I really believe that this friend will adjust and be more conformist to “acceptable social norms” whatever those are, the quotes again are really relative to how you want to live your life.

So I make them feel good about their moral depravity, that’s a good thing to be right? I don’t think I’ll get the information I want but I’ll still try to make that person feel good about there bad choices when I know about them.

I don’t get to make bad choices anymore. Well I suppose I could but I don’t have the money or the right tools anymore. SOFUCT.

In other news.

A different friend of mine, Real Life Super Hero Guy and I were taking the other day. Well he is going to be a dad soon. Like really soon-ish… well not any minute soon that still weeks away but soon. Anyway he was looking at things to buy for his kid. Things that the kids won’t be using anytime soon but it’s good to be prepared.

One such thing that made the hey lets have a look at this was a sit and spin. Oh yeah, I think these are manufactured in the vicinity of hell. Not because they are evil but because you can’t resist them. As a kid it is just fun to spin as fast as you can and then lay there an watch the world slowly spin back into focus… and you giggle for hours. Now I’m sure you are thinking what does this have to do with hell it sounds like fun. Well it is, for kids but that same can’t resist them doesn’t go away with age and you’ll see one as an adult and you’ll sit on one and spin your stupid ass around and then you feel it …oh… I’m standing too close to hell feeling and then you lay there on the ground wishing the world wasn’t spinning and it doesn’t appear to be coming to a stop any time soon and then when it does finally stop and you decide to sit up it starts again and then the wave of nausea hits you and you may get to see what you’ve even for the last few meals again in a less appealing visual and aromatic presentation.

Now you know you’ve done this once, and that will keep you from ever doing it again but every time you see a sit and spin you still want to sit on it and spin. You may even on closer inspection see that they are made in the vicinity of hell.

In other, other news.

Well… I was going to say something about CPG being a pain in the ass but I’m just tired of it. I may rant about it in a later edition of WTF Wednesday but for now I’ll just going to let it go, she’s makes Kyle’s mom from South Park seem like a nice lady.

Wow, this certainly was not intentional

Day one of the new year has had a familiar start for me as it has for the past few years. I’m not sure why it has become a couples holiday or event. Because the year changes over just the same for all of us single people too.

Yet, every party or event is couples only or it’s a family event and if you aren’t with your family that particular day there you are alone in a sea of people. That is a strange feeling.

My intention was not to write something blah, but I just sat down and this is what flowed from the stream. I’m also not sure why it is that the auto correct is telling me that the new and year together need to be capitalized. It is correct the way it is without the capital letters. Yeah we need to do more things by computer. They are only as smart as we want them to be and they are only as efficient as the programmers.

One of the programs we use at work requires 8 different page openings before you can do anything that is of course after you go through the 6 step process to get to that page. It goes down a lot too, not as much as oh lets say trashy girls but a lot.

While we are on the subject of trashy girls, I’m not sure what it is about them that is so darn appealing. Le sigh. I also know to stay away from them too. One because they will steal your stuff, two they usually have an ex who is currently incarcerated and soon to be released or has just recently been released from incarceration. Three, in addition to the property crimes things, they do tend to be a wee bit violent, with that they prefer knives. Think a gun helps a person with a knife can close a 30 foot distance before you can draw a pistol. Where in your house will you be more than 30 feet from this person when they snap in to deranged mode. Four, related to the latter snap is the high percentage for mental health issues. Five, related to mental health issue is usually some form of substance abuse in an attempt to self medicate.

But when you see them walking around in the tattered jeans and the wife beater… well everyone has their Achilles heel, it’s better to know than not know so you can avoid the pit falls of this sort of thing. Think this is not a good look, ladies pop in the movie The Town or just ask your man what he thought of Blake Lively in that movie and you will know if your man is attracted to trashy girls or not. While her part isn’t very big in that movie she nailed that role.

In other news

I know you are so glad that the ode to the trashy girl is over. We have a new captain for the ship and the hammer is about to fall. Not sure what exactly is going to happen but things will happen. Anytime, there is a change of captains there are always new orders or a new priority on how things get done. The private sector doesn’t like change and I’m as guilty of disliking change as much as the next person but I grumble when I can but do it the new way. Not because it’s easier it’s just the way I was trained.

The military does that to you or for you. Change can happen very quickly in the military and you’ll be taking orders from a new somebody in the blink of an eye which is why they change your commanders frequently enough so you get used to change but not so frequently as to make thing chaotic. If they can’t change the commanders they change the mission and if they can’t change the mission they exercise you. Change happens, change is necessary to remain productive, viable and effective. In the military you change and if you don’t like it bitch about it on your own time. Which technically is when your enlistment is over but there is off duty time when you are free to gripe bitch and or complain in a respectful fashion. You just don’t blindly follow orders, if the orders are wrong you don’t follow them and the UCMJ allows you to do this without repercussion. The private sector doesn’t really prepare people to same way. The new captain hasn’t done anything for several months but lay low and see what is going on. Which is worse in some cases than the person who comes in and on day one has a new game plan and says this is what I want and you will conform.

So we have a meeting and the general pulse of things is that heads will roll. Happy New Year, see computer it is appropriate here you dumb firetrucking machine. I probably won’t be letting you all know the content of said meeting because the trend lately here I the good ol’ US of A is to squash your free speech and fire anyone who says disparaging things about their place of employment and in an economy which has taken up residency at the south pole it’s not a good idea to rock the boat or fly above radar.

In other, other news.

The USAS automatic shotgun RAWKS … hells yeah and stuff. However, freaking kill count whores who want to rush through the co-op missions are fucking annoying the crap out of me. The job of a sniper is to be silent and accurate … one shot one muther fucking kill you stupid noob… Sorry it is just very frustrating to me that these people are the very definition of insanity … doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result over and over and over again. If it didn’t work the way you did it, it means the programming doesn’t like your solution…ie you fail. Be smarter than the firetrucking machine.


Oh and if you are new what starts with F and ends in UCK, that’s right Firetruck.

Happy New Year, hope you don’t have a hang over and if you do well probably best to avoid the sun for a bit, drink lots of water and take some meds you’ll live, you may not wish you had right now but you’ll be happy about it later, unless you hooked up with a trashy girl in which case you may be missing some thing and or suffering from some injuries. In which case, sorry I’m your year will get better because starting off on such a low point where else is there to go but up. See the silver lining but don’t say that to the trashy girl because she’ll beat you for the silver.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

I swear to Bob

Burp, excuse me I was trying to think and then the burp happened and I thought I would share it with you. What… don’t roll your eyes at me, I said excuse me. That’s right take your mean muggin’ else where.

So the other day my BS meter was full. I had exceeded my annual quota for the year and lucky for me it has occurred very close to the end of the year. I know to set it just a bit higher for next year with an annual increase.

The formula I use is take the number of lies I know people told me, times that by .25 because I’m sure I bought a few that were plausible and gave people the benefit of the doubt. Then take 20 percent of that number and add to it the increase percent of inflation, population growth and the number of years without a raise. This gives me a pretty fair guess about how much I’ll be lied to in the year. Then I set my expectations accordingly.

This is helpful because it keeps me from saying to people with whom I’m speaking really you are going to sell me that story. I don’t even know you and could come up with a story that is more plausible than that crap.

Which, if I did go ballistic on someone I could loose my job and that would be a bad thing.

But the other day the person was telling me a whooper and I said well you know I just don’t believe what you are telling me. They looked at me like well why not and then started the story over. I said at the end of the second verse same as the first, that is what you just told me, I still don’t believe that is true. The person wasn’t sure what to do then but start the same story again for the third time. With no new details or even a change of words. Even when telling the truth you’ll change it up a little but the main facts are consistent.

Now I’m not a human lie detector and I don’t think polygraphs are anything more than a way to measure someone’s discomfort with saying certain things. Certainly some people are uncomfortable telling a lie, but some people are not even a little uncomfortable with a lie.

Hook most women up to the machine and have them say the word Moist and you’ll get a detection for a lie, ask a little kid if they believe in Santa and you’ll see a truthful statement.

And there is one of the things about polygraphs that make them useless as truth or lie detectors. If you believe what you are saying is the truth and you aren’t nervous about being locked in a room with a detective or agent then you’ll pass.

But if you are an introvert, have some social anxiety issues, you might have the person thinking you are lying about your own name even with 20 people saying yes that is that person. Well the machine says it’s not. Sorry the computer says, “No”.

The thing is without any physical evidence you simply do not know what a person is telling is true. Not even if they tell you it is true, even when the information is damaging to the persons reputation, because you don’t know maybe the person wants to be disreputable.

You can certainly guess that things are true or not and little pieces of evidence help to support your guess one way or the other.

My eyes hurt and I need coffee.

Christmas eve day

It is Christmas Eve, early as in still day light and it will probably still be about 24 hours before the slashing into paper fury begins. The oohs and awes and OMG thanks that is just want I wanted are heard. Well that’s what you want to hear anyway, so hopefully it will be … or heads will roll. Just kidding putting heads of people on spikes is more a Valentines day tradition than it is a Christmas sport.

Doodle did that one year, but not on Christmas and not real people just several of her Barbie dolls were decapitated and their heads put on spikes in the front yard, you know so as to ward off barbarians.

Stuntboy hasn’t ever decapitated anything that I know of at least and is a very good child. Not that doodle is not a good child, but good would be the word most people think of when they think of stuntboy. That said he has had more run ins with the police asking him what he is up to than any other kid that I can think of. Doodle never had any, well that she told me about.

That will be for Christmases in the future, when stunt boy is 18 and the statue of limitations for punishments is over for everyone. Oh hey dad did you know that we did that or this thing when were 15. Some of it you do know about and then some of it you don’t.

I know this is coming because we played that game with the alpha and beta unit once we were all beyond the 18 year old barrier. I don’t think they knew everything we told them we had done.

I think they knew about the other one stabbing me in the leg, but I’m not certain. There was no hiding the machete wound to the other ones face he got they other time we were fighting with real machetes, yes that implies more than once. Although there wasn’t much that the other one and I ever got away with. The peacemaker however got away with all sorts of stuff and even if we told on him, I know how un brotherly he still got away with it. The units would say it does not compute the peacemaker wouldn’t do that and he would look at us and be like “fug u enz guys” which without the southern accent is fuck you guys, which he seemed to pick up and the other one and I did not. Go figure?

An example of the peacemaker getting over on the units was this, they believed he was allergic to grass, but he could mow anyone’s yard around ours for money and no effect if he tried to mow ours his eyes by a miracle would swell shut. How did this miracle occur? He would rub handfuls of grass in his eyes, yup. Then of course they would swell shut and tear up and the units would be you boy will have to do all of his yard work. WTF??? He would be like I don’t work for free but you fuckers can. He likes to use the work fuck too, not poetic license he says it more than a military unit and that is a lot. He dropped that information bomb on them years after the other one and I were saying he isn’t allergic to grass only the kind that you rub in his eyes.

However Stunt boy is just a pup still and it will be a few more Christmases before the enlightenment bombs start falling in the invisible fortress but I don’t think there are as many as my brothers and I dropped on our parents.

In other news

Doodle goes away to go away college soon and there will be much sadness in the land.

Stunt boy has suggested that December 23 be a new holiday Christmas Eve, Eve. I think most of the working world and school children would agree that such a thing should be a holiday. So, President Obama if you are reading my blog, what I really want for Christmas is for you to make my son’s idea a reality and declare December 23 as Christmas Eve, Eve and that it is a national holiday. (fingers crossed)

Hey the OE.gov has been to my blog before, the office of the executive that’s the big B so you never know. Although it was during W’s time in office and there was a bikini issue that day so it might have been for other reasons.

Merry Happy Whatever Days to all of you and to all a good day or good night that you celebrate.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely, but probably not as it will be Christmas day and the beta unit will be here and that is time for visiting. So Happy Birthday if it’s your birthday and a very merry un birthday if it isn’t your birthday

Adventures in Shopping

Last Saturday Doodle and I went shopping for the holidays. Now you may be thinking have you finished all your shopping for her yet? The answer to your general inquiry is, No. See the way the whole shopping for Doodle for the holidays works is that she will do one of the following

One, She will just go shopping with you and just wander around and put things in the cart she likes which is what we did Saturday

Two she will email you a list of all the stuff she wants complete with links to where on the internet you will find said items. Which is very helpful.

The last way is that she will buy all the things she wants and gives you the receipt and the items for wrapping or if she really wants the item right now the receipt so it can be wrapped. Which she opens and then goes oh yeah I love that present.

I like the last two options but the first one is my favorite because we get to spend time together. She says the same thing.

This last adventure of shopping was event filled. I saw lots of co-workers out doing their shopping. We had a horrible time in one store finding anyone to help us.

Doodle is one to speak her mind and in one place she wanted one thing which they did not have in the store, and once we were able to find a person to help us they told her the thing she wanted was only available on line. To which she said something like well nice that you put a sign up.

Which played out with me looking at the sign for said thing and the particular style she wanted said on line only but very faintly but it was there.

Then Doodle was like Oh, well then I guess you are right. Which I’m not sure if she was flirting with the sales boy or not. I mean he wasn’t unattractive but I just don’t like to think about her mac-ing on boys in front of me, and I don’t like seeing boys mac-ing on her… it’s a Dad thing. To us they are always little girls and no matter how old she gets there is always a part of me that sees her in the little white cowboy boots, Jeans shorts and pink shirt and that oversized backpack off to her first day of school.

So we soon left that store and on to the next one, the mac-ing part is important for this part of the story.

We are making good progress in this store and I got to hang out in parts of stores that I don’t usually go into. Yup the girl sections, now I’m an adult about this and when I’m in a relationship and the partner says oh hey you need to pick up this or that girl product I’ll do it and don’t think twice about it. Not sure why some guys won’t buy that stuff. But make up and that stuff is confusing and they generally don’t ask you to do that shopping. I just figured it magically replenished at the house because I never saw it being bought.

However, this store ended up having another shopper who was enthralled with Doodle and would not take her eyes off of her. I was like wow who knew. This particular stalker was a girl who was perhaps 16 maybe 17 and she literally could not keep from staring at Doodle. Doodle was completely oblivious to the whole thing until I said I think you have a fan. And she looked over and saw the girl staring. At first she said no, she isn’t looking at me until 15 minutes later and she is still gawking. Doodle is like do they think you can’t see them looking at you?

When we were leaving that area we had to walk right toward Doodles fan girl and she stared hard the whole time until the fast two feet when she turned 180 degrees so she could watch her walk away. Of course she was burning holes into Doodles back. I know this because I looked over from the register and she was still looking.

Hopefully she gets this whole stare down thing under control and isn’t so obvious about checking people out. I mean looking if ok but really take a picture it does last a little longer and in this day and age you can do that with a ton of devices and then you can walk around the corner and decide if you have a good photo or not and if you do stare to your hearts content.

In case you are keeping count that would be Doodle 2, invisible don 0…Yup nobody was stalking me at any of the stores. Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I’ll go eat worms.

In other news.

Stunt boy and I were at his dental appointment yesterday and they were all amazed at how tall he is getting these days. Which he is, so next year the Jay and Silent Bob thing might work as a Halloween thing. Hopefully by then I won’t fit my part as well


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Just a bunch of random stuff

So I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and the topic came up that I may not be normal.

This came up via a statement, “Have you tried being normal, it might help.”

To which I replied, “No”

But I really I don’t consider myself as not normal. I think I am more on the opposite fringe but certainly not in the middle of conventional but not un conventional either.

Lost is more likely a better classification. Although I’m right in the middle of a crowd.

Then I wonder, what is it that makes people perceive me as not normal. I mean I don’t think I look all that odd, and I certainly have a very conservative wardrobe, I don’t even have exotic pets. You know just the regular dogs and cats.

Still there must be something that stands out because it’s a pretty common theme that people who know me will say, dude you are not right.

(insert me shrugging with a chagrin)

In other super happy fun time news

I will be bringing back the WTF Wednesday segments so that should be fun.

In other just ordinary normal type news

I am about a third to perhaps 40 percent complete on all of my holiday shopping, so yay for that.

I finished watching the whole series of Caprica, which I really liked and I’m not sure if they are doing more of those … I hope they do.

I also finished watching all of the Jericho series. I’ll talk more about that one later and see if I get any NSA hits

I think I’m going to start watching the Stargate SGU series

I love netflix if you didn’t catch on but now I think I’m going to go kill some avatars or have people kill my avatar. The latter is usually how that goes.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

baby fever

So recently there has been baby fever going around the work place.

People having babies like it is a contagion … seriously

Everybody is having babies… well not everybody but a lot

Which generally brings about the whole men are such wimps humanity would have gone extinct long ago if it were up to men to have the babies.

I really don’t like this thinking, A… because it is sexist and I don’t deal it out so I don’t expect to take any B… it is simply not true. And before you wheel out the femi-nazi torture wagon I’ll explain.

First and I know you women will agree. Men are just stupid. It is true we just aren’t smart when it comes to this sort of stuff. We won’t buy the very simplest form of birth control and use it now. Do you think we would remember to take a pill everyday? Hell do you think we would ever get to the doctor to have them prescribed? Yeah, we don’t go to doctors and we wouldn’t start just because we got pregnant.

Second, we like sex too much and coupled with not being on birth control means lots of getting pregnant. We just would and we wouldn’t get better even with counseling. We will have sex if we are dying… getting a little pregnant isn’t going to be a real turn off.

Third men will make a game out of everything. Do you really think getting knocked up would be any different? No, lots of men already consider sex a game, getting pregnant would just go right along with that. I got pregnant within 5 minutes of my ovulation. I bet I can do it in three. You’re on. Sad thing is, you know it’s true.

Not only would we be making a game out of who could get pregnant the fastest. We would see who could have the most kids, the biggest kid, fastest birth, longest birth, longest pregnancy

Men would be bragging oh hell I was pregnant for 11 months, just held that little bastard in there and wouldn’t let him out. OH yeah My kid was in me so long he could walk when he came out.

Yes we are big wimps when we get sick or pass a kidney stone but if there is pride on the line we will suck up all sorts of pain and not utter a sound

Simply put we are not a responsible bunch and if the baby making bit was up to us the world would be so over populated it wouldn’t be funny and the humans would become extinct not because we just died out due to dwindling numbers. It would because there just wasn’t enough food on the planet to feed all the people.

So see it is probably for the best that you are the ones having the babies and not us.




Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

One step beyond

The dead have a way of remaining a mystery to us. We know what we know about those who have been with us and no longer share this level of existence.

This time of year has been a time when the death circles nearer for me, reminders of what was once and exists now only in that place between.

They say cats are half in and half out of the world of the dead, probably where the whole 9 lives things comes from, odd too that they are one of the few animals that will and are equipped to fight back even before they can see.

Why give that ability to any creature, unless there is a need for it.

What lies beyond? No one really can tell you until you’ve gone but we dismiss those who say they have.

Is the light they see the light of the after life or is it the light of the next life beginning of a rebirth.

Recently, I had a conversation with my father, which doesn’t seem an odd thing to say, unless you consider that he has been dead for the last 8 years.

This was as real a conversation that I have ever had awake in every respect. I woke from that conversation with a sense that things between my father and I were more settled than they have been.

We were getting along when he died, but to say we were close as father and son would not have been something anyone would have ever said of us. However, we were getting there.

Then he died.

There were things left unsaid between us as there are with any one who has lost someone. However I know that our last words were words of kindness.

In our recent conversation it was a continuation of where things were going in our time here if there were more time here.

Who knows, maybe it was just all the cold medicine, but I don’t think it was. This was real or at least it was for me. I can’t prove it to anyone else and the thing is I don’t need to prove it to anyone. Maybe it was just a collection of memories blending together and forming a dream conversation fulfilling some gap or void in that relationship. Maybe it was really a visit from his energy that remains in this world and we are just more willing to allow that energy to interact with us while we are asleep.


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Nap Attack

Ever notice that napping and sleeping are completely different

I mean apart for the whole length thing because a nap can certainly be longer than you intended it to be.

I just woke from a nap the began much like a computer popping up and saying a threat has been found on your computer an emergency power down will begin in 5 …4…3…2…1

OFF

The screen fades to black before you can stammer out wait what?

So I was feeling better when I woke up today but I suppose that my internal scans were like nope we found a nest we need to divert all energy to combat mode

The germ fighting part of me asks, What is the alert human doing?
The brains responds, Nothing critical.
The germ fighting part says, Good, shut him off
The brain says that may take a bit
The germ fighting parts says, Shut him off now and stares at the brain
Then the brain says Ok, never breaks eye contact with the germ fighting part and reaches back and hits the emergency shut off. Whirrrrrrrrr blip power gone.

This was the kind of nap when you wake up, it feels like you have to pull your head back out of some hole in sleep land

Apart from being sick naps are different that sleep.

Naps you can fall out in a three piece suit with a tie, try to sleep like that, not happening unless you are Barney Stinson. Sleep requires a delicate balance of clothing based on the temperature, bed clothing, atmospheric pressure and the tilt of the earth.

During naps you can sleep face down on concrete, try to intentionally sleep there, you’ll walk around in a circle more times than a dog trying to mash down grass that doesn’t exist in your living room trying to make that seem a bit softer before committing to a lay down.

Naps really require no preparation at all, while getting ready to go to sleep is full of ritual and prepping and primping it’s like you are getting ready to give it up the first time. We all know that didn’t go as planned. And if it did good for you, nice work I mean that really most sincerely that takes effort to resist urges…ok wait off topic

Naps don’t require you to empty your brain of your troubles. You can have a million things on your mind and still be able to get your nap on. Have one little thing bothering you come time to sleep. I’ll be in to ask about the shadows, lines, cracks, holes in the ceiling later.

So times naps even turn in to sleep. You know that ones where you fell into a nap than wake up look at the clock and realize that is now past your regular time to go to sleep but too early to get up and call it an early start to the day. You have to avoid making the statement I’ll just go to sleep because you’ll lay there awake for an hour or more before drifting back off, but if you just say I’ll just nap a while longer then get up you’ll be back out faster than you can do math when you decide to hit the snooze button in the morning.

Mostly you don’t have that pressing need to pee after a nap like you do after you’ve been down for a sleep.


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

The telephone is ringing, is that my_______ on the phone

They say that the more things change the more they stay the same. Seems that there is some saying for just about any situation and there is also generally counter argument too boot.

However waiting by the phone hasn’t really got the same meaning any more. Not that I’m waiting by the phone for anyone to call, because there isn’t anyone wanting to call me. More of the OFUCT but not the point.

Kids today don’t know the meaning of waiting by the phone. You had to stay at home to get a call and as soon as you left was when you were likely to get that call you were expecting. Le sigh.

But now you can go out, go here go there and everywhere and you can get that call most anywhere you go. Some places should be off limits but I’ve seen people take people into the public restroom talking away on the phone. Does the person on the other end of that line really want to hear you pee or drop a deuce? Well whether that person does or not they are about to be a part of that transaction.

I suppose the good thing is that it isn’t Skype

The anxiety isn’t really less though, once upon a time if you left your phone you could forget that you were expecting a call. But when it’s with you it’s a constant reminder that the person you are expecting to call you hasn’t called. Oh and they still haven’t called. Nope not yet, it can become maddening, add a bit of OCD and that is a recipe for a panic attack and some alcohol and you may have a reality break or at least a breakdown with sobbing for sure possibly some wailing and gnashing of teeth too. That last bit usually happens when someone say, it will be alright to sooth the sobbing and wailing and is greeted with WTF do you know (gnash, gnash) OMG and such

So try to live 24 hours without your phone just put it some where that you’ll remember where you put it. It was sort of hard to loose those wall mounted phones so the scramble to answer that expected phone call always went to the same spot.

Now you have to do the self body search to find the phone.

Side note I get a lot of women’s fashions don’t include pocket but is the bra the best place to keep the phone? Sure I don’t mind seeing the sometimes dip and retrieve but isn’t that asking for a possible wardrobe malfunction.

I am off work for the next four days as is most of country but I do not plan on shopping anywhere. Now I’m off to slay some video game bad guys.

stumble and fall...

If you are reading this you may have an addiction.

No not to me, I’m rather not addicting … I think my current status in the relationship realm speaks volumes on that particular topic.

However the internet and the things on it are rather addicting.

But is it really an addiction or more a curiosity of our species to see what else is out there

Could be a lack of being content with things

Perhaps nothing better to do

or

Procrastination… nothing like tooling around the web to avoid doing what ever mundane task you had planned for the day

There is a vast amount of stuff out there in the world and the internet does serve to allow people to see, speak to, hear and learn from so many sources around the world

My current web addiction is stumble upon … thanks to Doodle I know about this site and to quote her it is like crack

So if you are tired of just finding all the things we usually use the net for that being primarily porn, posting videos of some poor schmuck getting blasted in the junk and for other inane things

Stumble upon asks you what you like and then you find it … who knew … well they did actually, I sort of suspected it but never really paid it much mind.

This is can be a good thing even with the addictive quality and the negative stuff and trolls and h8rs

The world has become smaller because of the internet. Perhaps even a little closer

That if we can see the world and the people in it are not all that different from me or you. Maybe we can all just get along some day … or at least laugh at the same dumbass stuff long enough to forget what is was that makes us not get along

Despite all the dumb stuff on the internet there is a lot of good out there

People who do amazing things, helpful things and caring things.

Why are you on the net? Me, … I just do this stuff because I already paid for it and I don’t have money to do anything else

That and I sort of need to empty the thought basket in my head now and then to make room for more stuff.

In other news

I learned that peppers aren’t really hot the body just reacts like they are hot.
Mint isn’t actually cooling either … same thing body just reacts like it is cold

And that the air around us has so much junk in it that there are more particles in one cubic centimeter of air than there are people on the planet.

I also learned people will photograph themselves doing almost everything I’m sure it is everything there are just some things I don’t want to see.

I have no idea what to call this one...

I have found out a few things recently that I didn’t know and a few that I did know.

Well there really are a lot of things that I do not know but these were wow really things.

One – I didn’t know I sort of had a person watching my back. I can’t say who or why but I was surprised

Two – some of the minions get withdrawal symptoms when I don’t write. Sorry didn’t mean to cause the shakes for you all I’ll try to do better about posting again

Three – there was this other thing that I didn’t know today and it was really pretty cool but I’ve already forgotten it, I know it’s that bad.

There are an infinite number of things that I do not know but we all have other things to do rather than read an on going list of things I do not know.

In other news

The hippy mower is too much fun and by fun I mean really fun, I like it, My yard isn’t really level though and I want more clover. But clover brings bees and I’m sort of a feared of the bees because they bite and by bite I mean sting. The stinging hurts like a lot but the clover is fun to mow because it’s like green confetti and that makes me smile and I like to smile so I mow the clover and I want to mow more clover. I need to buy some clover seed. Yup yup.

There is this other grass in my yard too in one spot that is really cool too but I have no idea what it is but it’s like standing on Astroturf it’s so densely packed. So if you know what kind of grass that would be let me know and I’ll buy more of that too. But that doesn’t really solve the level problem. I’m working on that too by making dirt.

Yeah I’m one of those. I’m still on the fence about the goat but I’m thinking the goat would hurt the fence.

In still other news

I have a friend who likes to poke bears with a stick it’s more detailed than that but for now it will do… I may make it a WTF entry

Litter box thought of the day.

I really need a note for this chore. You would think every day scoop the poop, scoop the poop, I just don’t look forward too it.

Be like the squirrel ... or not it doesn't really mean anything it's just a title

So I was busy being healthy this morning. I know ugh… but before all of that I did wake up before my alarm again and I ignored it when it finally did go off and listened to the rain hitting the roof of the house. Part of my roof is metal so it’s a very different sound than other types of roofs. I find it to be rather soothing just hearing the rain falling.

Lots of thoughts swimming around in the brain in the rain and remembering something a friend told me about thinking and mornings. Trying to figure out things and stay within the confines of today and letting Aldo do his bit too. Some days it is really easy to just follow Aldo along the path and paired with where I’ve been sights, sounds and feels are all there and it is very easy to want to stay there but it’s one sided. So I come back.

The rain very nearly lulled me back to slumber but I want to get things done so I got up and got into the healthy mode. And then one of the lyrics from Jack wails out something about a cigarette and there I am thinking mmm … a cigarette would be really good.

What the hell, it never goes away and that thought will just randomly pop up in my head, you know what would be good right now a cigarette. Usually there is a trigger that is pretty identifiable now and it’s not a craving. This time it was the mention of them in a lyric but in a way that connected to my experience with smoking. In case you were worried I did not smoke anything.

Oddly I still have the pack of smokes in the freezer from when I quit. I’m sure they simply awful and possibly even unhealthier than they were two and half years ago when they were put into the freezer.

In other news

There is so much spinning around in the back of my mind and at the front part of the time. I know what I want I’m not exactly sure how to get there.

Random thought

I like sad songs even when I’m not sad, they don’t make me sad either … well mostly

Some how there used to be more time in the day.

I’m not sure exactly where it has all gone but I don’t seem to have it any more. I would normally blame the whole daylight savings time thing but this seems to be a lot more time than that hour.

However at other times there just seems to be too much time.

Why is it that when you are having the most amazing time, time seems to slip away all to quickly.

Then when we want time to move more quickly, it goes too slowly

Don’t call me little b@$tard …

April 5th was barefoot day … I didn’t know but found out when there were a ton of bare foot pictures on the inter webs.

I asked around and a lot of people didn’t know too.

The thing is this guy Tom, makes shoes. Then he sells shoes. Then for every pair of shoes he sells, he gives a pair away. Which I did know prior to barefoot day, but I’ve never seen his shoes anywhere.

Now every girl I asked about said oh cool two pairs of shoes for the price of one or a BOGO

I had to burst a lot of bubbles by saying, No he gives them to poor people who don’t have shoes. So it is a BOGO but two people get the shoes for the price of one instead of one person getting two pairs of shoes.

The guys weren’t really interested.

I might have gone bare foot if I knew.

I'm not sure I found the right picture... I did not

So today was a little strange even for me.

It started out a little off kilter. I think my body is trying to make me a morning person and I don’t like it.

So I’m rebelling a little bit and I hit the snooze button even though I was already awake lying there in the bed asking why are you doing this to me body, why? We had this agreement about sleeping. That sleep is good now the rules are changing and it’s just not fair. The upside of this is that I’m not a peppy morning person so it’s only slightly good news I’m still up early but thankfully there aren’t any high gears installed with morning person me so it is a low speed and quiet. So the low impact me I can handle I think, because bright lights and peppy in the morning are bad.

Other times of the day both are acceptable with abandon even, just not in the morning





So I share my whole new twist about the one snooze button with Hoover. He says, Ah look at you all grown up now. HURTFUL (insert aghast and a pitiful look)

So I hang my head and what was a happy little low speed morning just been popped like a mean kid killing a happy little balloon animal, Thanks I would like just one little win but no you have to crush it like a bug.

Oh and no matter what Hoover says, I’m not a girl. I’m not and you can’t prove anything.

What ocean smell? I don’t smell the ocean we are hundreds of miles from the ocean. Are you sure you smell the ocean? Couldn’t be you must me wrong. OH look, a nickel.

Anyway the whole day sort of progressed slightly askew.

Everything I was feeling all happy about someone was there to pop my balloon. It’s like a test or something just how fragile is your self esteem there invisible boy. It was like the world was saying I think we can make it cry, poke it with a stick again, yeah it will cry now.

Ouch and what not.

Then as if popping my menagerie of balloon animals was not enough, then I was told I look at the world funny, to which I still say, Nope I think I look at the world just fine.

Which I was talking to about that the other day with the dancing rabbit that sometimes things just get in the way of how we see the world. I don’t really think it’s a matter of cleaning our lens but just looking at the world and the people in it from a place of excitement and not of routine.

You can see the same person everyday for the rest of your life and have that person bring a smile to your face every day that you see them. Now that smile will sometimes be beaming and others just a warm feeling inside of familiarity.

All those things we let build up just get in the way and all the supposed conversations we have rather than actually having the conversations.

We let all the things of the world and all the days blind us to what is really there. So I still say I see the world just fine.

In other news

As I mentioned Doodle came over last evening for dinner and a movie. She is so fun to watch a movie with because she invests in what is going on in the story. So we are watching Despicable Me last night and near the end during the rescue and the last one is ready to go and then that thing happens

Doodle goes… oh… no… and throws her hands up and is very worried for the character

Now I mean this in the best way possible because she does enjoy the movies she enjoys and it is good to spend time with her and while she is a young woman she can still be just into a movie with her dad and brother.

Litter box thought

Isn’t when you least expect it right after someone says, I’ll get you when you least expect it. I mean really because you are distracted by when will they get me certainly not now because they are telling me it will be some other time when I don’t expect it, but then you’ll always expect it from then on except right then.


That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow
