An insight: I was riding my bike through a residential neighbourhood the other day. As in, virtually zero traffic, aside from me. I came to a three-way intersection and was going to turn right; on the sidewalk was a little girl, perhaps four or five, riding a bike, with her mom and two others walking on the sidewalk about fifty metres back. I came to the stop, looked at the girl, and waved her through. She smiled and started across the street. She didn't move one metre before I heard her mother scream at her over the din of my motor, and she immediately stopped and looked back. I nodded at her and rode off. What did that girl's mother just teach her? If you ask me, the girl just learned that she should always check in with what mommy or the nearest adult says in an uncertain situation instead of doing something herself. But maybe I'm reading into it a bit much. In unrelated news; this discussion of lousy weather has made me glad that we're not the only part of the continent hurting for sunshine and overrun with cold temperatures and precipitation.
I am concocting a feast for dinner: Lemon and Rosemary Roasted Chicken with a portabella and spinach stuffing, served with a light alfredo pasta and stuffed Portabella mushrooms. I clearly like fungus. I love getting stoned and wandering into the kitchen to cook, my best meals are created that way.
My high school actually had a pretty good shop. It was bought years ago off a WWII battleship, so even though everything was old as fuck it was built like a fucking tank. Every tool sat on a block of cast iron bolted to the floor.
Here's a fucked up story for all the Horse Love TiBettes around here. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=15716018" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=15716018</a> Sad. And I don't want to know how the horses got herpes in the first place.
Just another piece of evidence that men's only drive is their sex drive. You can't fuck horses and people you idiot! You're wrong Dave Chappelle, guys are just that horny, some are just that fucked up.
So my in law's new dog is either a Jew or a Pirate. We are having a yard sale over there tomorrow, and I brought over some cash and coin to make change. The dog was very interested, so I held out a roll of quarters for him to sniff. He grabbed it, ran out of the house, and buried it.
I've only finished 2 episodes of Breaking Bad but it seems like it's a badass series. I stopped because I've already...acquired...9 beers and I fear I'll miss some gold in the 3rd episode. Time to get drunk and go to the bar or a friends. Or sit at my computer.
So, there's been a commercial going around with Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain, where they say that our troops are the best our country has to offer. ...Is anyone else insulted by this? I'll be at the front of the line to admit that I'd crap my pants if put in a combat situation. But, I don't like being told that my fuckup cousin who only graduated high school because they didn't want to keep him around for another year is better than me. I know plenty of really great people who have served in the military, but I think the idea that everyone who serves in the military is great does a disservice to the people who are really worth respecting. My grandfather flew a bombing raid over Italy in WWII, he got peppered with lead, the rest of the crew of his bomber was killed, and he signed on afterward to crew a new plane. That's hardcore, and I don't want him lumped in with Jim Bob who just thought the job would shut his wife up. He was also a shitty father and only a marginally better grandfather. We should recognize the sacrifice for what it is, and not pump it. Fictionalizing something is not a tribute.
You never know! Sometimes I do this weird thing where I get really, really tired and really, really wired at the same time. It's like alcohol fueled zombie mode.
I'm surprised you remember that, but you are correct. I was a zombie mostly and my friends were alcohol fueled zombies.
I wanna make a PSA here real quick like: Swapping fridges from house to house is stupid and should never be done, regardless of how big the other fridge is.
