What a difference a day makes



Sandra and I only got to spend a couple days at the beach, but it was great. Tons of fun pictures, plus the SPURS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP! This is a big deal to a san antonian. I love the ocean. I think we will be negotiating a move there in the soon future.

To the end ofthe earth




No one will follow you with such blind faith as your dog. She trusts completely, even on the edge of something brand new. She plodded right along with me into the waves on the island this week. I am so happy I got a dog, she's great. Olive the super chihuahua was not to be out done though, head long in the water with me. Dogs are funny companions. I have always been a cat person, don't get me wrong, I love my Lola, but the girls are right there, always want to be in my business. It's really cool how much they trust me to lead them. I'm really glad I waited 20 years to get another dog.

Good morning tree



It ain't no thing but a chicken wing. Another pretty south texas storm deposited a tree on my roof friday night. I thinkit was struck by lightining, plenty of fire wood either way (I bought beer). Crushed the shrubs and landscaping, just another day. Insureance man soon to follow. I think the roof was spared. It's the small things, right?

Lay your money down


Well, I put money down to reserve a day for my tatoo. July friday the 13th. Seems somehow fitting. Jeremy and I are both getting them the same day, we had to book cuz the guy is almost a month out on work. Element tatoo. Check it out, they seem pretty nice, down to earth. I'm excited. The tree is the tatoo he is working up for me, and a black and grey piece , same tree for Jeremy. Sweet!!!!!!!!

Peace with the past


It's dark now,
but the memory of sun still stings my face.
It's quiet now,
but the sound of laughter still fills this place.
I'm older now,
horsing around takes a toll on my bones.
You're older now,
playtime is replaced with calls on the phone.
The wind is blowing,
if you listen it sings songs of the past.
The moon is fading quickly,
summer days just are not meant to last.
It's dark now,
silence echoes deep in my soul.
It's quiet now,
I do think I shall like this growing old.

A sign?



If you look close, it says objects in mirror are closer than they appear. I think this might be a sign that the beach is closer than appears. I see a trip to the gulf in my near future...yes, a little beach bum weekend.

Mess with the bull...


When you mess with the bull, you get the horns. I guess I was sufficiantly pissed off the other day , this morning when the little turd head showed up, the owner met him at the gate and told him to take a hike. I must say I didn't even bat an eye, this kid was truly a piece of shit. Second chances are for people that deserve them, and he deserves a good swift kick in the ass. That ends that chapter in Shitty employees weekly.

Bring on the rain...




Can I just say today sucked? I guess I can since I just did. I don't like negative energy, it wraps me up like a blanket. I don't like people that thrive on the need to be negative. Today one of the new punks at work started spouting off shit he knew nothing about. Long story short, you better have a damned tall ladder if you plan to get high enough to jump down my throat. He's one of those charming boys, the product greasing his hair down hides the horns. He thinks he can flash a smile and the world including me will fall to his beck and call. Can you here me now...FUCK YOU. I worked damn hard to get where I am in life, and I sure as he won't let some probation officer seeing, piss in a cup weekly, married woman dating piece of shit kid, tell me how to do my job. So, I jerked his ass up and tore him a new asshole in front of the owner, left him standing with his mouth open.
It sucked. I don't like getting that angry. It's like a storm. You see the roof shake, but you can keep it on the building. It does bad things to my spirit. Makes me feel like shit even when I am in the right. What part of a person just enjoys spurring someone else on to anger. What kind of person allows someone to anger them so much. When I was little, we never had much, and I always had to work hard for the things I got. Sometimes I would let myself get so angry as a kid that I would break whatever was most important to me at the time. Weird, not something of the person that angered me, something of my own. Once a radio, once I ripped the ear off of my teddy bear. I cried so hard and my mom sewed so fast to fix it that she didn't allow for the hem, today that bear is still here with me, one ear bigger than the other, and stitches in his neck. Today felt alot like that, I let someone get under my skin, someone that owns no stock in me, someone that I care nothing about. Hours later, I am still thinking about how angry it made me. The picture is from this spring near Holly Beach Louisiana. Several years after Katrina, much of the town still looks like this, a house was standing here. One violent uncontrolled episode from mother nature, and the land there is scarred for decades. I can't help but think about being better. So many people get angry, hurt, sad, and broken down by things outside of their control. It's not really a big deal, more just a rambling thought that was on my mind... It just took so much energy to be that angry. It didn't last that long, and sure I calmed down and went on with my day, Hell, I'm not even sure where I was going anymore. Just like a storm, comes fast and goes fast, but when they are big enough, everybody remembers...

The life of a ...


I stumbled across this poem I wrote in 2005, decided to post it again...

toes on the edge...
wait for it...
wait for it....
the build up is electric...
wait for it...
nothing between you and the ground...
wait for it....
in a moment you will know...
feel...
be...
EVERYTHING
wait for it...
static arcs...
wait for it...
lean in...
the air is the only thing holding you in place...
wait for it...
inhale...
wait for it...
let go...
let go...
let go...
sweet release...
fall...
Fall...
FAll...
FALLLLL...
THE WAIT IS OVER...
fall...
fall...
fall...
contact...
impact...
no more wait...
you disperse into a million places...
pieces...
things...
energies...
moments...
you are...
you know...
you thrive...
i think this is how a raindrop feels. i want to be a raindrop.
