Pedophile's Dream

First, let me catch you up on happenings. I finally got my new air conditioning installed and up and running (well, I didn’t, but you know what I mean…)

I came home on a Friday to find my house on the cold side. “Okay” I thought to myself “maybe I’m just not used to it and the temperature will even out”. A 3am, when I couldn’t turn off the air at the thermostat, I had to kill the new system at the electric panel. It was SO cold. The thermostat said it was 60 degrees on it’s way to 67. HA! If it was anything it was 40 degrees in my house. I could almost see my breath.

So I called the company that installed it and they sent a technician. He was at my house for 3 hours. The thermostat that was installed was so new he didn’t know how to work it correctly. He ended up installing one that he knew would work – and it did before he left. He said that someone would be out on Monday to fix the real one.

So, thankfully, they were out on Monday and the problem has been resolved. My house is now a comfortable 74 degrees with 50 percent humidity. Works for me. Certainly better than 96 degrees with 102 percent humidity.

That’s right – I said 102 percent. The water droplets had water droplets.

So I get home from work and there’s a car parked out front. It’s not a car I recognize nor does it appear to be one of the neighbor’s. At this point I’ll tell you I don’t have a problem with cars being parked out front as long as they don’t block my driveway.

There’s somebody sitting in the front seat so I get a quick look at him in case the Police ask, “What did he look like?”

As I’m getting settled in the house over the next half hour to 45 minutes I notice several more cars parking out front. As you recall there’s a school in the lot across from my house.

What appears to be happening is that a girl’s volleyball team has come for practice. Like I said, a pedophile’s dream. These girls are 14 to 15 years old, wearing shorts and tank tops, jumping up and down.

I don’t know why, but I always have this fear that someone is going to find out that I’m a single, unattached man living in a school zone. “Is this man a pervert or something?” I don’t have a good explanation – especially if they find the porn on my computer (no kiddee porn, I swear).

I also worry about having some medical ‘issue’ while I’m here by myself. If something happened on a Friday, it would probably be Tuesday before anyone became suspicious. I’d probably be dead by then.

Whenever you see the ‘neighbor’ being interviewed on TV about the serial killer living right next door, they basically describe me: “Oh, yea… he was real quiet, kept to himself, didn’t have many visitors and kept strange hours”.

See? These are things I think about.

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...

Ending in "O"

I happened to see two movies today with no apparent link until I noticed that they both ended with the letter “O”. I didn’t plan that. First up, Superman and I went to see “Juno”. Every year around this time Superman makes a flight of fancy to see every picture nominated for Best Picture of the Oscars. I don’t have a problem with it, I just think it’s interesting. “Juno” is basically about a 16 year old, high school junior who has gotten herself pregnant. She immediately decides the best thing to do is to give the baby up for adoption. So she and her stereotypical air-headed, cheerleader friend check the ‘Penny Saver’ for a good couple to give the baby to. (yeah, that's where *I'd* go...) So they find a well off couple that lives in a nice neighborhood, with a nice house and nice furniture. Nice, right? Well, Juno falls hook-line-and-sinker for the couple and even feels the need to try and connect with them. I guess, for me, it wasn’t about what was seen in the movie but what ...

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...
