Rainy days and Monday

I've had a couple of days off so I probably should have written sooner but I was doin' stuff. Generally speaking, I've been getting my house in order. Figuratively, I've been "getting my house in order".

I took a good hard look at my finances and I was really surprised at what I found. I waste a lot of money. I also spend a lot of money on things that don't stick around -- like food. Good, bad or indifferent I've kept records that I should have thrown away long ago. I have every pay stub from every job I've ever had. It's too bad that some of them don't have more information on them. Sometimes it's funny to see the mistakes on the weeks that they cover. I swear I must have found 5 of them that go something like this: "This check is for dates 10/15 to 10/30" and then the next check says "This check is for dates 10/20 to 10/30". It's very strange but at least I got the money deposited correctly.

I was doing some web surfing just now, listening to some music when I heard this pervasive noise. I thought it was my air conditioning but it sounded louder. It was raining -- rather hard.

It's going to take too long to get my house the way I want it but I've made a pretty good dent in the past few days. I'm just glad I had the energy to tackle it... I was afraid I might not. A lot of times I will talk myself into doing something and then not have the energy to see it through. I don't know what's up with that.

(wow, it's really coming down out there!)

The approach. She's just standing there. She's cute. Really cute. Dark hair, petite. Her arms are folded -- is she wearing a wedding ring? She turns. Nice hair. No wedding ring. Flat-chested but I don't really care about that. Nice ass? Decent ass. She's holding her keys in her hand, doesn't plan on staying long. She's wearing all black. Do I talk to her or just let her wander? I'm in the middle of something here. I haven't shaved in the past few days so I have quite the growth. I'm not feeling overly confident about my appearance. She doesn't come any closer. She picks up something that makes some noise. Most of us at the table look at her. A few minutes later, she's gone. As she's leaving I say "come back any time". Crap! What did I do wrong? I didn't get up. But, did she want to be approached? Of course she did, she's shopping at 9:00 on a Friday night. Does she think I'm a loser because I'm playing a game at 9:00 on a Friday night? I don't know. I'll probably never know. I can't get her out of my head. Is she thinking about me? What was she looking for? She didn't really care what we were doing.

If you've ever seen "Tommy Boy" then you know where I'm coming from. When Tommy is talking to the waitress about making a sale, that's sort of where I 'net out'. It's so stupid. I know it's stupid and that's why I'm telling you.

I'm a big fat flaming idiot, that's all I can say.

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

The Memory of Lists Past

I was cleaning out a closet tonight and found a lot of papers that held some kind of memory for me. Some were newspaper articles, some were funny memos... most were written or drawn by me. I came across the following, entitled "List for 1990": 1. Reorganize your life 2. Evaluate your feelings 3. Take a risk but be smart 4. Take care of #1 (yourself!) 5. Don't do anything you don't want to do 6. Reward risk-taking 7. Don't be afraid 8. Change the way you do things 9. Go somewhere when you get bored, don't just sit around 10. Find out how to take a compliment 11. Generally be more aggressive 12. Don't worry how other people feel 13. Learn to like yourself 14. Have fun! You will note that some things never change. It's most interesting to see what I thought about myself back then. Just thought I'd share...

Only Always

Parents – You know, my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary a few Saturdays ago and I didn’t even mention anything about it. That’s quite an accomplishment. The weather held out (meaning it wasn’t overly hot) but I’m finding that I got bit all to hell by the bugs. My legs are tore up from the floor up. Date – Yea, I had a date on Saturday but it was so un-interesting I didn’t even lead off with it. She had really pretty eyes but that’s all I can say that was positive. Everything else was neutral. I don’t know that I have much else to discuss. I was thinking this was going to be longer but nothing much is happening. Workdays are going by faster because there’s SO much going on and a lot of people are out. One of the women in Accounting just left so it leaves them short-handed. To catch up it is estimated they need about 12 people in that department. Currently there are 2. The woman that reports to me is out on vacation for another week so I continue to do her job. I shoul...
