Song of the day.

Goodnight, Sweet dreams.

The last post depressed me. Have a frog.

I should have shared more with you.

When I was a young boy, the house we lived in had a long dirt driveway which was flanked on both sides by grazing pastures on each side. I hated that driveway. Not the driveway itself, but the walk down it. As I would make my way down the driveway to get on the school bus every morning, I would dread the end. Not because I was going to school. Not because I would always seems to pick up rocks in my cheap Skycity shoes and cut up my feet. But, only because I was forced to wait at my neighbors until the bus arrived. The neighbors were and still are the most redneck, uncivilized, and as I saw them, the most dangerous people in my small world at the time. The mother would blow smoke in my face as she talked to me.  The husband would often hit me in the back of the head for small annoyances that his children would impart on him. I was just another target for him to let loose his anger upon it seemed. The oldest son, Jason, would torment me every time he and I were in close proximity. The bus was extremely late one day and instead of us just waiting as we were supposed to, he decided that it would be funny to snatch my pants off in front of all the other Kitchens clan and try to jam a bandit marker in my ass. He was in his late teens and I was 9 at the time so there was no way I could have physically gotten him off of me. While kicking and hitting him as hard as I could, I screamed for help, but was only met with the laughter by the other kids. He was eventually stopped by Mr. Pete when the bus arrived. I remember seeing the old man come running across the ditch and through the yard towards us. He kick Jason off of me and sent him scrambling in the dust of the yard. Since no one was home, parent wise, at either house Mr. Pete put me on the bus and left Jason there at the curb. At school, there really wasn't much done. The Principal said that since he had not actually achieved his goal and that we were not on school grounds. There was nothing that could be done. My father was called and he took me home for the day. Jason was banned from using the bus for a while by Mr. Pete. They in all essence had swept what had happened under the rug.
I never voluntarily went over there again and still to this day do not like taking a left on Groaning Rock Rd to go past their trailer.
I never tell told you this story because I am embarrassed by it. I should have. 

Why did I wake up with this in my head.....

Buffy

No matter how bad my day has been, I will always love coming home to this.

My father sends me the weirdest crap.

 I feel like hell warmed over.....

The couch is calling and I am answering it's call. 

Not silent. But still just as deadly

I'm at Barbras Bookstore. They are selling a copy of "Atlas Shrugged for $12.99?" Why, that's positively extortionate. It's confiscation. It's legalized theft, that's what it is.

 I haven't had a single cup of coffee today. All my anxiety has been replaced by a preternatural feeling of calm and tranquility.

OK, off to Caribou. 

Friday afternoon bullet points.

• I cut my finger on the broken motion sensing faucet in an Arby's this afternoon. Thanks to the military, I'm up to date on my shots but I expect to be stricken with some exotic blood borne illness just as well. It's been nice knowing everyone. 
• The worst part of it is that I cannot scratch my _ _ _  efficiently. 
• I'm taking a 59 year old college professor and her boyfriend shooting in the morning. Neither have ever held a firearm. They want me to teach them how to be safe with a pistol.
• To teach them that firearms are safe, I have loaded up the Jeep with every single firearm I own. Fun times are going to be had by all. 
• There just may be some tannerite hidden in my range bag waiting for a suprise ending at the closing of the day. 
• From my home in Cochran to my parking spot in Atlanta is 126 miles. I drive the trip 4 times a week (Monday through Thursday). From Friday to Sunday, I am working as usual. (34 mile commute) 
• 124 each way is 248 miles a day x 4 = 992 miles a month. x 6 months = 5962 miles so far this year. 5962 miles / The Jeep's 24 Mpg = 260 gallons of gas. 260 gallons x 3.30$ = 860$ in gas costs alone. 
• The second house in Atlantic Station is looking more and more appealing. 

Life is full of balances.
The unstoppable Ebb and Flow of the Atlantic tide as it strips land away in Africa only to use that soil and build up new islands along the South American horn . The Southern summer heat melting asphalt as the Sun blazes overhead is balanced out by cold winds of Winter that come on so strong that rocks freeze and break apart from its icy grip.
Today, I had one of the absolutely worst days in quite a long time. I almost quit both my job and school in one fell swoop because of the frustration and impatience in myself. I came home, took care of  some household needs, walked my pups, then sat down and drank what was left of a bottle of port in the refrigerator just so I wouldn't have to deal with this day anymore.
Then out of the blue, a smile is placed upon my face. I know that the way it got there didn't mean anything. But as I lay here in bed trying futility to fall asleep, I am so happy.

Goodnight and Sweet Dreams.
 I hope all of you have a great day. 

Screw top port wine. For when your day has been bad enough that you give zero fucks how the rest of it goes.

He has risen.....the dough.

Will delete later just needed a mobile way to memorize

TMI Tuesday (or otherwise known as "Stupid Stuff")

Things that have happened this morning:

I called my boss as I left Caribou coffee this morning. My message went something like this...  " Hey, I need to talk to you at some point to, HEY WATCH OUT!! I JUST GOT BUM RUSHED BY A THUGGISH SQUIRREL....um, day.

While in the buildings elevator , I was joined by one other person for the ride up. As we waited for the doors to close behind us, I leaned against the back wall, drinking my Americano as I usually do. This strange asian girl waited for the doors to close, then leaned against them where she was looking straight at me without saying a word. I took it as a challenge to a staring contest and just waited for her to say something. She didn't say, utter, or even look as if she wanted to say a word for the entire ride up. When the doors opened, she just turned around and went on her way down the hallway.
Weird start to a morning.

Good night, Sweet Dreams.....
Wherever you are.

If it is patrolled so much, why do I have to remove  everything?

Sunday nights.....
