You know yer growing up when...

1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
6. You watch the Weather Channel.
7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and breakup.
8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."
10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.
12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.
14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.
15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM.
17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.
18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach.
19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.
20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."
21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again."
23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.
24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.
25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one, to save your sorry old ass....
26. You start posting lame shit from emails instead of shit from yer own head...

Ahem....

Dear Sirs,
I have the solution for the prevention of hijackings, while at the same time getting our airline industry back on its feet.
Since men of the Muslim religion are not allowed to look at naked women, we should replace all of our female flight attendants with strippers.
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of
seeing a naked woman, and of course, every businessman in this
country would start flying again in hope of seeing a naked woman. We would have no more hijackings and the airline industry
would have record sales.
Now why didn't Bush think of this?
Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

That is all...

In my defense...

It was either that (the next post) or a great big, twisted up thing (which may still happen) starting with another thing Charles Manson said that makes sense (there WERE so few of them...lol) and going into my aversion to dealing with people and all that.
Shits bigger than Bret's biceps. (And, ooooh what biceps they are...lol)
Anyhow....I'm still trying to figure out just how many things Mr. Manson can say that can make sense to me, before it goes from me being smart enough to figure out what he means to me being as fuckin' nutso as he is. It's only two so far, but it's making me nervous.

Not to even mention the fact that I've been getting more done in my comments lately than anywhere else.

If ya really wanna know...

How completely bent-headed I really am...
I like Pauly Shore.

I know...I know he's a total retard, but I think he's kinda cute and funny as hell.
I just got done watching "Son-in-Law" and I also have "BioDome" taped.

I think he'd be cool to hang with.
Just hearing him giggle makes me giggle.
The boy is fried and so am I.

I think we'd get along great.

Awright! Questions!!!

I found these over at Dawn's, who found them over here.


1. WHAT TIME DID YOU GO TO BED LAST NIGHT?
About 8:30/9:00 this morning.

2. IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOURSELF WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Who my mother was.

3. PAPER OR PLASTIC?
Normally, plastic is fine. My cats like to play with the bags. If it's a lot of cans or heavy shit, both.

4. WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK/MAGAZINE YOU READ?
I'm currently reading four books...all 'again'. They are "Fatal Justice: Reinvestigating the MacDonald murders", "Country Confidential", " Manson: In His Own Words" and "Deadly Relations: A True Story of Murder in a Suburban Family".

5. A TV SHOW YOU CAN’T STAND TO WATCH?
Wrestling. Vince McMahon should get face cancer and live.

6. WHAT DID YOU EAT FOR LUNCH TODAY?
Nothing yet. I haven't been awake long enough to be hungry.

7. DO YOU LIKE TO BE SURPRISED?
Surprised by nice things, yeah. Horrified and shocked by life as usual...no.

8. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR TOOTHBRUSH?
White and dark blue.

9. WHAT BRAND OF DEODORANT DO YOU WEAR?
Old Spice High Endurance Pure Sport. Women's shit is too...foo-foo. And, it usually stinks.

10. YOUR FAVORITE STORE TO SHOP?
Walden Books or the Bourbon Street food place in the Court at Deptford Mall.

11. WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER OR FALL?
Spring. It should never, ever be anything, EVER, except spring.

12. FAVORITE DESSERT?
Cheesecake with strawberry jelly on it is good, but I don't usually 'do' dessert.

13. WHICH ONE WOULD YOU PREFER - MAID OR PERSONAL CHEF?
Agador from "The Birdcage". I'll also take one Armand and two Alberts. I friggin' love that movie and those people.

14. FAVORITE CANDY?
Reese's Peanut Butter cups.

15. REGULAR OR DECAF?
Let me answer that question with a question....WHY DOES DECAF EVEN EXIST!?! The only thing stupider than that is non-alcoholic beer. What IS the fuckin' point? Folgers...everytime...regular, normal Folgers, in copious amounts.

16. FAVORITE RESTAURANT?
McDonalds.

17. CHARACTERISTICS YOU MOST ADMIRE?
The one most people can't handle...brutal honesty. Because in reality, lies are much more brutal than any truths.

18. FAVORITE HOLIDAY?
Easter, because I love those dumb Cadbury commercials with the Barry White rabbit with the DEEEP voice "Bawk, bawk" and because SPRING is close then.

19. FAVORITE TIME OF DAY?
Night...when the rest of the world goes the fuck away for a while.

20. FRUIT OR FRUIT SMOOTHIE?
Plain fruit. I've dated enough 'fruit smoothies" (emphasis on 'smoothie') in my life, thanks.

21. HOW MANY RINGS ARE YOU WEARING?
One. It's the twin to the one Eric wears. They're Irish wedding bands.

22. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR MEAT PREPARED?
If yer talkin' steak, just scrape the hair off and run it thru a warm room. Everything else, hamburger, chicken and shit...well done.

23. WHAT WAS THE LAST CARD YOU SENT SOMEONE?
The last FIVE were yesterday...Eric's Valentines cards.

24. WHAT RADIO STATION IS ON WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW?
None. The movie "Duel" is playing. But, if I were listening to the radio, it'd be a Classic Rock station.

25. ONION RINGS OR FRENCH FRIES?
Either, or both. Only one? French fries with tons of ketchup. Or Russian dressing...now that's goooood.

26. DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY CARDS OR BOARD GAMES?
Both, but I never get to.

27. NAILS POLISHED OR UNPOLISHED?
Please. I go thru the bullshit to sculpt my own nails, but I don't have time or a cushy enough life to be paintin' 'em. Even if I did, it'd get all smudged and scraped off before it was even dry. And, I have never and WILL never paint toenails. My mom did that and, frankly, I think it looks totally stupid. Just proves how fucked in the head women really are. Believe me, NOBODY cares about that shit...except YOU. Jesus. That's being just a tad bit too self-involved for me. I'd rather use that time for something good...like doing something for Eric, ya know?

28. DO YOU LIKE NUTS ON YOUR SUNDAES?
Depends on whose they are.

29. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SODA?
Mountain Dew. I don't even know why other kinds exist. Mountain Dew is da shit.

30. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH ON TV?
Equestrian stuff or dog agility stuff only. You know...the kind with minimal human involvement. Even that I hafta mute because of the brain-dead announcers...sheesh. I used to like to watch hockey, til the Flyers fucked it all up by trading Dave Schultz. Now, I wouldn't look if they were playing in the driveway. Dorks.

Well, damn. Is that it? Hell. This is fun. I could answer questions like this all day long. In fact, the only questions I will never answer again without a lawyer present are those asked by people with guns and a badge. That's never fun and it never comes to any good end, either.
You have the absolute right to remain silent and with those people, that IS the best (only, really) course of action.


(Oh my Gawd...there goes the truck and car over the cliff. The noises this thing makes give me goosebumps. It's sounds like the truck is PISSED because it lost...Jeezus. Steven Spielberg is a friggin' genius. Hmm. Think I'll throw JAWS in next, maybe....)
Which reminds me of a question I never have gotten an answer to...Why is it, everytime there's a 'bad' truck on the road on TV, it's always a Peterbilt? This movie, some stupid commercial against double and triple-trailers, Pet Sematary...it's endless and it's always a Pete. That is such bullshit. Pete's are the best damn trucks there are.

Oh, oh...a truck joke...What do ya get when ya cross a Peterbilt, a Kenworth and a Freightshaker? A peter worth shakin'. (Still, ya do it more than three times....heh, heh, heh...)

Okay...I'm outta here.
For now.
Peace

(No, I still haven't found the kitten, damn it ta hell...)

I have been posting....

It's just been in the comments to the previous post.

I want my cat back, damn it.
Hell, while I'm at it, I'd also like to be forgiven for every animal I let down, didn't own til they died or who got killed somehow while they were mine.
I remember all of you and I simply loathe myself that you're not still here with me, where you belong.
I miss all of you and I'll never forget you guys. I loved you then and I still do now.
I am sooo sorry for letting you all down.
I know exactly how big of a piece of shit I am because of it.
I'm so very sorry you guys.
Y'all are gone and can't forgive me and I just cannot forgive myself, either...so know that I know that, okay? You guys were the good ones, not me.
Christ, my heart hurts.

You'll force me to kill you.

Um-hmm. Makes sense.

And the shit goes on...

(Sung to the tune of "And the Beat Goes On" by Sonny & Cher...)

He's at it again. Lair Guy just added the latest chapter about the horseS, now.
Yeah. Now there are alleged to be two. Both Paints crossed with Tennessee Walkers. They were (allegedly) raised together, so this Renee chick wants to know if we'll take both of them.
Yeah.
What I wish Eric had said was "Why, yes...we can handle having two horses. Can she handle dialing a fucking phone?"

Now, we're going thru the whole "She'll call you, or you call me and I'll call some other person and get her number so you can call her yourself" shit. Again.

I don't even know what to say this time. Probably because the only thing I can think is "This asshole really must die, now." If I even cared enough, that is.

Next to the missing cat, this shit is almost laughable.

Only thing I really wanna know is the one thing I can't even BEGIN to figure out...why, why, whywhywhy?

Jeezus.

P.S. My cat is gone...

One of my cats is missing. He's a baby, less than a year old and has breathing problems. I'm fuckin' losin' it, here.
If he's in this house, he's dead, because I don't hear him breathing and you literally can. Especially when he's sleeping. He snores like a man.
He was here last night...or this morning-whatever-when I went to bed. I got up around 10:00 and when I fed the kittens, he wasn't here. When he got out, I do not know.
I've searched the house and under it, the barns, the shop, the parlor, the driveway, the lawns...even the damned dog house.
Can't find him anywhere.
I'm so scared he's gone.
I want my cat back.

Nobody's here, either. I, of course, have to try to deal with this alone. Eric is at some cow meeting and he was supposed to be back at 1:00....well, he ain't.

Naturally.

I just want Snuffles back.
Now.

'Kay, God?
My cat.
Back.
Now.

Ya know...I am trying, here. I'm trying to not just go off. First, even before the rabbit, was the goat. Bad.
Then, the rabbit and the horse, both in about a week. Worse.
Then Jon's shit about the non-existant horse. Worst. (or so I thought...)
Now this.
If I don't find my cat and quit with this 'shit-luck' streak RIGHT NOW....I quit.
Fuck being philosophical.
Fuck rational, too, while yer at it.
I have had EXACTLY ENOUGH of this shit.

I can feel something in me changing, turning...breaking off and dying.
And...ya know what?
Right now...I just don't care.

I may as well become evil.
Being, or trying to be, a good person means shit.
I can see that, now.

No.
I'm not pissed.
I passed pissed hours ago.

With what I feel going on inside of me, depression is gonna seem like skipping through the park.
I want my fucking cat back.
That's all.

Ya know...there really IS a limit as to how much a person can stand.

Still here....

The biggest thing I did today was move my rat-boy.
He was in the livingroom. Now, he's on top of this computer desk. It was pretty intricate.
First of all, the livingroom is heated by a fireplace, which is charming and cool the first winter, winter and a half. Then, it gets old....fast.
Secondly, since I brought this computer desk thing in here, we now have the diningroom table back, which the guys seem to spend quite a bit of time sitting around. Mind you, the satellite TV service is in the livingroom and out here, I mostly run tapes of older movies or sitcoms which make the guys brains bleed, but...they're still out here. Must be the heat.
Anyhoot, the poor rat was in there with no heat and, pretty much, no company. So, I wanted him out here with me.
BUT...I do not need his shavings and crumbs and shit all over and in the computer, so...I hadda get creative.
I found a box both wider and longer than his cage. It was a little deep, but I solved that, too. First, I cut off all the flaps and laid them inside the bottom. Then, I used Christmas wrapping paper (plain, very dark blue) and covered the outside of the box. It had 'Tootsie-Pops' written all around it and it looked stupid, so now....it's pretty.
Then, to give him some viewing height, but not make him so high as to negate the box's whole purpose, I put a huge old dictionary in there and set the cage on top of that.
Nearly perfect. My idea and execution were good. It's just that now he's so high up, I have to stand on a chair to reach into the cage to get his food bowl.
Like I care.

So, yeah...you read that right. Me, the Christmas dreading, whole-thing-avoiding little shit that I am...I spend part of my day 'gift wrapping' a rat cage box. Hey...made sense to me. And, he seems to like it.

The only other thing I did was go back out into that old trailer and swipe three metal heater grates to replace the el-cheap-o, accidentally-step-on-'em-and-lose-a-pedal-extremity plastic ones. Stupid little pieces of shit. They don't stay closed fer shit, either.

Getting ready to run to the store. Hope ta hell I make those Peanut Butter cookies when I get back...lol. We'll see. (If not then, then tomorrow.....maybe.)

Gotta run.
I'll be back....

Peace

Another Of Our Body's Little Quirks
While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it!

Fuckin' weird, but cool.

(a few minutes later.....)
WHY CAN'T I DO THIS?!?
(lmao)

By the way...I don't normally lift people's posts, but it being Blogspot, I didn't really have much choice...couldn't even get a 'permalink' (or what ever the hell it's called) by clicking on the time/date. I do, however, want to be perfectly clear that it was Larry who found this. His name at the bottom of his post is the link.

(I still can't do this shit...)
Thanks for the new obsession, Larry....

Waylon nails it...

If there is any one song by a country artist that fits me to the nth degree it's this one:

I've Always Been Crazy

I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say I’m proud of all of the things that I’ve done
But I can say I’ve never intentionally hurt anyone

I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Wonderful Cowboy are you sure that you understand
The chances your taking loving a free living chick?
Are you really sure you really want what you see?
Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be

I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame
So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane


I don't know if I can come up with just one rock song that gets it so right on so many levels, but I'll think about it.
In the meantime, with a tiny three word change, this one is IT.

Thanks, Waylon.
R.I.P. , man and say 'Hi'
to Buddy for me, okay?

He scored big....

I was out walking along the stream earlier. I stopped at one point and just leaned back against a tree and was listening to the Bee Gees while I was lookin' around.
I happened to look down just in time to see the cutest, coolest thing I've ever watched a wild animal do....
I see, floating by in the stream, a muskrat floating a full ear of corn in front of himself. I just stared. He took it down to this little 'island' (in the stream...cool...lmao) and carried it out of the water and to his house, I guess.
Pretty cool.

Men....

Ya gotta love 'em.
If ya didn't, you'd either be driven insane or beat the hell outta one.
Sometimes they say most astounding things. The kinda things that make you turn and just look at 'em, with eyes slitted, mouth open and brain whirring....
Like this guy.

Or Eric.

We've been 'discussing' recently his....gift/talent/irritating habit of tuning me out, right? Yeah. And, by 'discussing', I mean I've been discussing, he's obviously been zoned out....still.
I know this by the signs. He either has a completely blank look on his face when I'm done, doesn't hear a question, or he just jumps right into the middle of what I'm saying and says something totally off-topic.
With the 'blank-face effect', I know what to do. I just ask him a coupla questions to see if he heard any of it. Then, did he comprehend any of it. (Believe it or not, that IS two different things...still. It does NOT end with the advent of adulthood. At least not for guys, anyway.)
As annoying as this can be, sometimes Eric adds a lil twist that changes everything...like yesterday.
I was saying some stupid shit...Hell, I can't even remember what it was because of what he said...I think it was something about the Firebird....anyhow, he not only wasn't listening to me and interrupted me with a completely off-the-wall statement...it was the statement itself that just floored me. I mean, it's a goooood thing I know him as well as I do...
He said (keep in mind, I'm talking CARS with a GUY)...and I quote:

"Hey....I just found a gross group that reminds me of you...."

I had so many looks of confusion and consternation cross my face in the space of those first thirty seconds....

(me)
"Do what?"
"You interrupted me (again) to say THAT?!"
"Are you high?"

While he's busy swallowing his face over there, let me explain...he loves those Yahoo groups. The more strange they are the better. So, he found this one that made him remember my spit-phobia and felt compelled to share that with me at that precise moment. Why, I still don't know....*shaking head and laughing*

He stuttered for about 17 minutes straight, turned shades of red I've never seen in nature and backpeddled like a mo-fackey tryin' to 'fix' this one....it was fuckin' funny, man...(rotflmao again)

"I...you...They...But, but, but....See, it....shit, man...What I meant...You...But....sigh....."

He is sooo good at bein' too cute to be pissed at....

Men.
Ya just gotta love 'em.
(Right?)
(lmao)

Peace.
