Yaaaaay! Yipppeeeee!! Its Friday night!! I feel better already.. Ok that’s B.S. actually, I still feel like a miserable piece of chit, but I don’t have to work tomorrow and that is a step in the right direction at least. So, I’m leaving work at about ten minutes before three, So I call a cab and am told that it will be a thirty or forty minute wait. (It gets better.) So I decide to walk over to the Sonic burger and get a bite to eat, so halfway there it begins to rain, now I’m either gonna get seriously soaked or I’m going to make it to sonic before that happens. It wasn’t all that bad I got there in twenty minutes from the shop so I didn’t get all that soaked. So the cab rolls in at about 3:50 pm, and I’m ready for the ride, the driver was pretty cool so we got to talkin and as we made our way down Roop street I noticed that two apartments in the Sierra Madre complex had been Gutted by a fire, I mentioned that I hadn’t noticed it before then and the driver told me that it was a middle aged white couple that he knew, who were always fighting and apparently the girlfriend wouldn’t leave the apartment when the boyfriend asked her to. instead she took off her clothes and climbed into his bed. The boyfriend then poured a bottle of whiskey over the girlfriend and the bed, (after beating her up.) and set it on fire.. She ran from the flaming apartment naked and screaming, because apparently he had a gun that he was planning to use on her as well. The cops showed up as the building was in flames and caught the guy after the smoke had driven him from the residence.. According to the cab driver who knows the woman personally, she says she still loves this homicidal lunatic.. I guess nothing says I love you like arson and attempted murder. He’s going away for awhile. Jim Morrison was right. People are strange.. Thank God its Friday.

May You Finally Know Peace.

I knew as soon a s I woke this morning that it was going to trouble, I have been battling these flu like symptoms for the last three weeks and now it has developed into a full blown cold. Stuffy head, sore throat, aching bones and the works, so as usual I toughed it out and worked my shift, I was doing UPS and the shipping desk, packaging pistons and other stuff up to be loaded on the ups truck at days end. I think I did pretty well for my first time, but we’ll have to wait and see. Long about Five o’clock or so they tell us about the next weekend we are all going to have to work strait through, that will be twelve days strait starting next Monday. So that means Not this Saturday but Next Saturday there won’t be any blog hopping for me. So I guess I will have to make up for it THIS Saturday. I ‘m gonna tough it out Sick or not. I’m gonna Rock it like there’s no Tomorrow, well maybe not but I’m going to try. Now I will keep my fingers crossed that they don’t decide to work THIS weekend instead of Next. Maybe I should just keep that thought to myself though.


Laters Kids..

Now I know that I am Supposed to be half ways to slumber town right now, but I just heard something on the ol boob tube that plumb got the ol Scratchman’s dander up. There’s this ol boy on tv tonight who said that he wanted to be a women, not for any particular reason other than according to him women have it easier than guys… Hmmmm.. No Chit Cherlock? Now Forgive me ladies, I don’t mean to patronize you in any way, but Ol Scratch here has to get this strait in the ol pumpkin. Hmmm okay now Imagine that there is a bowling ball that you can dehydrate and swallow whole, ok.. Hmmm now drink a glass of water to reconstitute it. Now you have a ten pound bowling ball in your belly.. Ok wise ass. Trying chitting THAT out of your arse.. Congratulations you just gave birth to a bouncing baby bowling Ball.. I can Imagine that that doesn’t even come close to child birth. Ouch. Ok now guys lets talk about women’s Periods.. I ain’t sure what it all entails, but it has something to do with blood.. Come to think of it.. I don’t want to talk about it after all.. I get ticked off when I cut myself shaving, I can’t imagine how irritable I would get if.. Ok never mind.. Its not a pretty picture. Not to mention Tampons..(With or without wings.) feminine itch, yeast infections and… oh my lord… Bikini waxes.. Ok guys Everybody grab a pubic hair and yank that bad boy out by the root. Yeee Haaawww!! Now there’s a good time! So… You still wanna be a woman Bullwinkle? Well there are operations that can fix that for you. Me? I like being a guy.. My testy’s may get in the way from time to time, and I may have to accommodate an itch or two during the course of my day, but they basically work okay and they’re paid for.. And they’re mine.. Chit.. This is going no where, time for bed.. See ya’s..

Sitting here tonight watching the news, looking out the window, just thinking, about people. Sane people, crazy people, funny people, sad people, happy people, people who corrupt, people who love and people who love to hate. People that confound me, amaze me, astound me, people who make the world the amazing place that it is, people who

Live in palaces.



People who live in nothing at all.



people who live in Glass houses.



people who rock our world.



And those who dare fight to change it.



People who have seen and done it all together.



And those who honor us with their memory.



peace out..

Love ya's..
