Safely Tired

I made it back safe and tired as hell, no surprise there.

I'm still wondering what driving citations cost in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. Now I'm not saying that the entire population of these states are completely awful but I ran into some of the most appalling driving manners from people that I have ever seen. Now if it was just in, or around the cities it wouldn't be such a surprise but it was the entire trip. I'll stop bitching here soon I just want to add, that if you can't drive the mountains don't pass me on them and slam on your brakes, it only serves to piss me off.

I do like to travel but I love coming home, it's wonderful to be back with the household critters, and my bed. I know the critters enjoy having us back, because they are acting normal again.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are back, I will be updating more soon, but right now I'm decompressing from the trip.

have a good one!

On my way

Well we are leaving on our trip to Arizona tonight. I probably won’t get a chance to answer any email or comments here, I will be back in about six maybe seven days.

Have a good one!

Mike inspired it!

Well, it's getting to that time for the elections. Don't worry I'm not going to start throwing my opinion out who the best candidate is. I'm not out to change or try to sway anyones opinion in fact, I'm just going to.... is bitch the right word?... Yep that's it, I'm going to bitch about politicians in general.

Now I have met politicians before, and when I say that I mean that I have seen some crap that was never publicized and probably never will be. They are human like the rest of us and get into compromising positions just as well as the general public. So what? Nobody's perfect now are they. Morals are important, I think we can all agree on that, so that's shelved.

My problems with politicians start where they are essentially bought and paid for by interests/companies/selfishness/etc. and not out to protect everyones best interest. Obviously when I say everyone I mean everyone in the nation/state/county that they wish to or are already elected to represent. Now clearly they can not accommodate everyones' wishes, but the point is to benefit the majority of people.

Here's the pessimist in me, I believe that every politician is corrupt, they have been paid for already. Bring in a new group would only lead down the same path of corruption that has always been there. I do not place any politician present or past on a pedestal, I can say that I have respected some of their decisions and directions, that's it.

There is and never has been a politician that has come into or finished his/her term with everyone liking what they have done with their time. Just as we are all human, we also can't please everyone all the time.

Now that I have said my piece on that I want to stress that I was not thinking of any politician in particular when writing this, also let it be noted that I wasn't speaking just of national, but state and county elections as well. I'm not telling you that voting is useless, in fact if you ever bitch to me about a politician then you damn well better have voted. Now go out and vote for the corrupt bastard/bitch of your choice.

Have a good one!

That's different

Did you know that yahoo messenger has an IMVironment that let's you draw pictures with or to, who you are chatting with? I didn't... until today. This is something that someone drew to me, I think it's adorable.

Some shit like that

Well here's something scary, I have been keeping an online journal for two years now. Doesn't seem like that long.

Moving on...

We had an invasion of (3)family members this week, not that it's a bad thing for people to visit. With the way that my sleep schedule is all screwed up, it made things interesting. There's also that hugging bit that shouldn't bug me but it does, not that I would refuse a hug that would be extremely rude... now if I could get them trained to hug (very little contact) like Pen does it would be perfect.

Back to the sleep schedule, right now I have been awake for alittle over twenty-four hours. Self inflicted sleep deprivation, hopefully this will knock me back into a normal schedule AGAIN. If not I do this again tomorrow, I am determined to fight my natural inclination to be nocturnal. However getting back to a "normal" schedule means that I won't get to hear the coyotes howling and yipping at 1-2 am, which is actually really neat sounding out here.

I know this is short but it's all I really have the mind for right now.

Have a good one!

Blooming Bushes

The last week or so my dreams have been just bizarre. I'm not talking nightmares, I'm talking dreams where when you wake up in the morning you laugh or shake your head at the oddness. I’m sure this is from my sleep schedule being all screwed up, plus some of the self-inflicted sleep deprivation to get back on schedule. But it's still weird!

We (my dad) brought in the rose a few weeks ago, since none of us thought that it would make it over the winter outside since it's in a large pot instead of in the ground. It's now sitting in front of the window in my room and blooming like a monster, smells quite lovely but strong... so I'm hoping that it isn't always in bloom.

It looks like my mom and I will be heading to Arizona at the end of the month to see aunt H. Driving of course, since I hate flying and it's nice to have your own vehicle to putter around with in strange towns. From the sounds of it we might even have a cousin along with us, but I'm not sure if that has been decided on. Basically I know I'm driving.

I have been getting these anti-Bush emails lately from some group, if I find out who dropped them my email address I will beat that person silly. Most people know that I don't care for the man, but I make my decisions about politicians by their records, reading the news, and gut feeling. I don't need groups emailing me telling me who the devil is this week, I'm pretty good at deciding all on my own.

Have a good one!

One of those days

So much for my sleeping schedule being back on track. Damn, damn, damn, damn! Oh well, that's just how my body works.

I haven't attacked the flamingos... It just seems wrong to attack unarmed lawn ornaments of any kind, with the exception to... well never mind, that was several years ago, I can't be held accountable. Oh yeah, and Pen's a shitty partner-in-crime.

My mom bought a lovely snoopy t-shirt for me, it's of course bigger than I really need but damn it's comfy! Of course it adorable as well, who could resist Joe Cool standing next to a bike ( I prefer to think of it as a Harley). I'm not a collector of snoopy things, I just like snoopy.

And I'm babbling.... better bring this to a close.

Nothing exceptionally interesting going on with me or in my head lately, just trying to make it through the days. I leave you with this, because this is how well my mind is working right now (I have no clue where I found this image, but it's been on my computer for over a year).



Have a good one!
