F the news

He may be "important," but I hate fox news and he aint (good wt grammar) gettin' any of this.

Does he have a submissive brother?

Kick Off

Saw a dude on the metro with a John Deere shirt that said, "Been there, cut that." Not overly insightful or side splitting, but it made me smile.

This whole marathon thing is a bit crazy. I'm not sure why I signed up. The meeting today was supposed to be brief. They handed me a four hour agenda. Sign of things to come? Training starts Monday and fortunately works nicely with my current physical health routine. Perhaps I'll be beautiful some day. Pretty shallow to train for a charity marathon in the endless search for the 22 year old body. It will limit my choices...force me into a certain behavior ( My four month religion?) Probably a good time to stop smoking.

Did you know the President names the metro stops and they change every four or eight years? Tourists - they plague me.

Choices

Friday I spent 20+ minutes deciding whether to drive, ride, or take the train to work. I checked my calendar to see what time I'd be coming home, checked the weather to see if it would rain and how warm it would be, and I thought about how much gas was in each vehicle. In fact I grabbed my helmet and different keys twice. I became very frustrated making this simply irrelevant decision. If I had to rely on one form or another, my life would be simpler.

Choices in life. Religion comes to mind. Why do people surrender their lives to pre-set / pre-planned choices? Is it for salvation? Is it because they don't have to make up their mind and need the roadmap highlighted for them like a pre-Interweb AAA TripTik? Don't do this 'act' because it is a sin and will delay your trip by three hours. Stop at this little triangle to camp and this picnic table to pee. 14 hours and we'll be home.

Is religion a crutch or way to cling on to something of value; an excuse for a miserable existance to explain problems away. Instead of working to make a better life, do people reach out to the teaching of Jesus, Muhammed, or whoever to worship any one or group of gods? This may have an impact, but it really comes down to limiting the confusion of choices; how we want to get from life to death. Have you bought the Nav for your life? It's pretty difficult to remove it if you did / leaves a giant hole in the dashboard. Now try putting one from a Lexus into a Mercedes...

Hmmm.

Uneventful

Worked late and played like good domesticated folks - went to the grocery. Sleepy time.

OK...so there are only four sinks. My math was off earlier.

Drunk. Again.

There are lots of people, but M & S are the best.

This is occasionally expressed through the nipple kiss.

put the gun down, put the gun, put the gun down...

The intent may not be the same, but the words take the day full circle. He did mention $50 bills later. Is that for powder room money?

I'm fine with the urinal situation - there usually aren't many options when there's a line. I used to be pee shy, but now I can just take a peek at any line; crack, tile, corner, caulk line or whatever. I am very trained. However, when you make your way to the sink and take the last open one of five, why would the next person come past three others to wash their hands at the one next to you? Some privacy when there are options? If you want to flirt with me that's one thing, but if you are there for personal business, give me some space.

The show starts soon. The first act was talented but mediocre.

Pop Pop Pop Pop

The sound of construction in the neighborhood while I was getting ready this morning - so I thought. Apparently 4 idiots shot some dude. He died. Perhaps related to his industry? Drugs? Who can say. They shot him in the back so I guess they weren't man enough to look him in the eye. There will be teddy bears and flowers on the spot for weeks no doubt.

Coming home from work an oversized file cabinet fell of a truck and slid across the road. I was right behind it on the G-ride; I effectively swerved. If I died, would it be blamed on my form of transportation or the truck driver's inability to learn to tie a knot when he was a cub scout? I barely escape the stress of the office, would be a bit ironic if a file cabinet from someone else's did me in. My industry...

I think I'll take the train tomorrow. A martini is in order tonight.

Wild Thing #1

*name removed* was the first wild thing. Perhaps, well certainly not the first, but the first for sure in this life. This life is 98 months and a few days old.

(metrobus 52 smells wretchedly of urine today)

Should I have followed *name removed* and wrecked this life or would that define me as a wild thing too? Do people really belong to people? Why have I spent 15.3 percent of this life debating this question?

You can't love the wild things.

Genesis

This is my first post on my first blog. I thought you would like to know that so your expectations can be properly aligned with the content. I really don't know why I picked today to start a blog, but it is raining outside and I really want to go out and do something, but can't bring myself to do it. As I sit on the sofa randomly clicking in the neverending search for the end of the interweb I began to think about my thoughts. Frightening. There is so much pounding inside me and it too wants to get out, but fears the rain. I decided to blog. Funny. I don't even read blogs except for the 'best of the blogs' excerpts in the daily paper. I suppose there is some irony to using the oldest printed form of communication and 'news' to read bits and pieces of well written and inspiring blogs. I have no such aspirations of being published and re-published. I merely intend to free up space in my pounding head. I should have named this outside the district to properly identify to this nonsense that it is released and free from my mind. I suppose I truly never want to lose the nonsense, well...not most of it, but it needs to be released to let the memories settle down. This is like buying an external hard drive for my mind as a place to store these things. You will either be shocked and appalled by the madness or think my life is boring. I guess it depends what you know. I know there is enough madness inside this district to go around. Enjoy the truth.
