*sigh*

i'm tired. And i'm not really diggin' my classes at school at the moment. They bore me to tears. The one class i really enjoy is once a week for half an hour. Bah.

in other news, i might get to go to the rodeo on Monday! Yeah! ok, so to be honest... i care less for the rodeo, and more for the carnival rides.

i. love. carnival rides. with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. Nay, TWO thousand.

Seriously.

i always have, i hope i always will.

Especially The Zipper. i'd have one in my backyard if'n i could. It might be my soulmate.

i think my adoration for carnival rides stems from the fact that my brother and i used to ride them together. it was one of those things we had in common. damn. i miss him a lot sometimes.

i remember, the very first time i rode one of the "big" rides. My parents didn't take me, oh no. It was Jack. He took me on what i believe is called The Spider. it's got all these arms, see, and each arm has cars on it and the arms go up and down and spin and the cars spin independently. the cars were neon green. lots of lights on the arms. it was terrifying and exhilarating. (it was prolly lame for my bro as he was a good 5.5 years older and wiser than i. But you'd never know from his face. He screamed and acted just as thrilled and excited as i was. he didn't cheapen the thrill by acting bored. i love him for that.) it's a memory. and it's mine.

the day i rode The Zipper for the first time...

well. it was a little bit of magic my friends.

The Zipper was the Ultimate of Ultimates when it came to the Galveston County Fair and Rodeo. Every year it was there, at the end of the thoroughfare, looming over the carnival in it's terrifying majesty. Only the bravest dared ride. Little kids weren't. Even. Allowed.

You'd think i'd graduated College the day i was tall enough to ride. It was such a special moment, Jack made me wait until night fell. Because rides are scarier and more magical at night. All day i walked through and around the fair with the knowledge that tonight was The Night. The anticipation drove me crazy, none of the other rides were enough for me (i rode them anyways of course!) The Zipper was there. Waiting for me. Daring me to turn away. To make excuses. Not i. I rode it. As soon as the lights came on, i was in line. I don't think i had butterflies in my stomach, i'm fairly sure i had pterodactyls. And i rode. Jack rode with me. He hugged me. We had so much fun. I don't think we fought at all that day. I rode that ride repeatedly. And to this day, whenever i see it, and especially when i get to ride it... i'm right back in that little cage with my big brother, and he's teaching me to rock so that we'll flip more, and we're laughing, and things are good.

So that is why i love carnivals. The smells, the sounds, the rides...

There's a magic at a Fair that you just don't really find anywhere else, isn't there?

Miss you Jack. Every friggin' day dude.

The Zipper

*blink blink*

ohhai

i totally forgot about you blogger.

welcome back?

eh... whatev. So here we are in a new chapter of life. Things are... interesting? to say the least.

i am separated from ol' Zelph for many MANY reasons which i honestly do not feel like going into at the moment because i am in a lovely mood.

i just got tired. We'll leave it at that. For now.

The Bug is 5 years old now. And a hoot. Love that kid.

i'm... ok. I've been better, but i've also been worse. I have good friends that keep me going when i start to get down. In fact, i just got off the phone from a three hour phone call. With a friend i've already talked to twice today, and texted almost non-stop. I haven't done that since... well... jeez. I don't know that i've EVER had that much to say to someone. We can just talk. it's... nice. we've been friends for around a decade, but we're really becoming a lot closer these days. it's good, i've missed having someone to talk to who really listens and is interested and who has things of their own to talk about. But enough about that.

i miss my dog. He is living with a friends mom at the moment. I miss my cat, he ran away from home in a fit of pique and has not been heard from since. I can only hope he made it to NYC to pursue that stage career he's been talking about since kittendom. Skimbleshanks indeed. He's CLEARLY a RumTumTugger.

My other cat is fat and needs to have the mats shaved off her butt. Eew.

My pajama pants keep falling off, they're too big. i've lost somewhere in the vicinity of 30lbs.

i would very much like some vino.

i'm going to Sherwood this weekend. As a pirate. With a small group of friends. It shall be good.

Can't really advertise the trip too much, or stalky mcstalkerson will send his spies after me.

*grumble*

Maybe i should just sleep with someone so he can have something real to be paranoid about. But then he'll use that against me to talk The Bug away. Blast.

On a positive note...

i am alive. i am healthy. i am moving home ASAP.

yep. Things are alright.

i'm gonna go tuck myself into bed while i'm still on the happy high of the phone call that just ended. Lurv.

Story time kiddos

She sat, in her favorite little black dress. Well, her only little dress, black or otherwise truth to tell... Regardless, there she sat, at the bar. She stared into the half melted ice, as if all her questions could be answered if it just melted fast enough... or slow enough... or whatever. What was the Big Deal, she wondered idly, why was everyone on her case these days? Sure, she could admit that most people waited until after work to pop into the bar for a drink... But she didn't do that every day. Hell, it was after work right now wasn't it? So really, she didn't see a problem there at all. Besides, she was always to work on time... ish. Reports, pie charts (freakin' pie charts...), layouts, outlines, they all got done on time, or at least before the final deadline. That counts technically as "on time". Hell, she even rode the bus like a good little "concerned citizen" so going home afterwards from the bar wasn't really a safety issue. Not really. Responsible Adult. That was her to a T. What right, what damn right did anyone, anyone have, telling her how to live HER life? None! No right at all. Nosy, self righteous Bastards. Incensed, she flagged the bartender down and ordered another drink. Straight liquor for her. None of that fruity froufrou shit her co-workers were all so gaga over. Flighty twits, all of them. Concerned with shoes and hair (removal, extension, color, straighten, curl-who gives a flying rats ass?) and of course Celebrities and those ridiculous little purse dogs. Seriously, why anyone would want dog shit deposited right on top of their car keys, was beyond her. Dumbasses. No worrying about daycare or mortgages or damned yard work. Another refill, please and thank you. How the hell had she ended up like this? Her whole life the world had been hers. Comfortable family life, no money problems, tons of friends, even High school had been a breeze. Dance classes, Straight A's guaranteed with minimal effort required (couldn't have the Team Captain with low marks now could they? she was looked up to... Ha!) Anyways, she blew through it. College was pretty much the same, with a bit more effort required. Tutors were expensive, especially when you paid them a little extra to "finish up" the assignment. Needless to say, she graduated with a Masters Degree in Business Administration. Good enough to get her into a corner office that was slightly smaller than her standard suburban issue SUV. Fortunately, she had a superb view, of the building next door and the fetid alley that slithered between the dingy "stucco" walls. Living the regular American dream, she was. All that and a storybook romance too. The story about the dead end marriage between the fairy princess and her college roommate’s older brother. Remember that one? Didn’t think so. What a mess that had been. Still was really. Oh and her children... her lovely spoiled rotten ungrateful children. She loved them almost as much as she resented them. 9 and 7 years old and already, the only time they wanted anything to do with her was when they wanted, something. Money, clothes, toys... Some thanks for that whole "gift of life" business. Sighing, she ordered another drink. Probably should get home soon. Someone had to make dinner; Lord knows her husband wasn't going to do it. The man could probably burn water. 11 years of marriage and she could count on one hand the number of times he had attempted to cook dinner. Those few and, thankfully, far between times had been mostly inedible. Housework was the same story, yard work as well. Christ the man was useless. He wasn't even good enough in the sack to make it worth her time. Where the Hell was the bartender? Ah...there...at the other end of the bar. Flirting for tips, figures. All she wanted was a damned refill. Another 5 minutes and she'd get out of there. A little time to unwind was all she needed, was that SO much to ask? A few minutes to herself each day to gather her thoughts so that she could face what passed for her home and family life without setting fire to something. Home. Ha-ha. Two and a half stories of gray brick piled up into a cookie cutter house that had a look alike every fourth house on every street in the neighborhood. Nothing, absolutely nothing distinguished it from any of those other houses. Even the fucking plants looked like they came from a mould. Another drink. How did they even do that? Get bushes and trees and flowers to grow like that? Well behaved. Polished. Perfect. Boring as hell. Story of her life. Giggling she looked down into an empty glass. Hmm, she frowned; bartender must be stiffing her on the liquor. Drinks were going down easier and faster. She toyed with the idea of going to another bar, (had to do that a couple of times before), then glanced down at her watch. The face came slowly into focus with the help of some very determined blinking. Damn. She'd stayed later than expected. No time to cook now. Have to pick something up on the way home from the park and ride. Only a 10 minute drive from there to her house. One of the rare beauties of Suburbia, there managed to be at least 8 fast food joints between the spot her car was parked and her driveway. She paid with cash, no sense paying with a card and causing questions to be raised. Now, where did she put her jacket? Did she bring a jacket? Oh well, she had more jackets. On the way to the bus stop she had to laugh. Probably 30 jackets hanging in her walk in closet, and she only had one dress. Just wear the dress or a skirt or slacks with a different jacket and blouse. Voila! Instant wardrobe! Dress was her favorite though. One of the only things she had that made her feel feminine and sexy. Wore it at least once a week. Settling into the bus seat, she considered going out and buying a new dress. Maybe some strappy little heels to go with it. Purse too, and some earrings. Hell! Why not make an event of it and get her hair and nails done also. Find herself a hard bodied, vacant minded younger man and have a steamy affair. Seemed to have been working out for her husband for the last 5 or 6 years. Funny she thought, as the bus reached her stop, she wasn't even mad about it anymore; just a sort of vague, detached amusement. He thought he hid it VERY well. Ha-ha! Still chuckling she spotted her car, one of the only ones still standing in the lot. Just as well, she'd never be able to find it otherwise. Damn thing looked just like about 30 some odd others that used the same lot. That horrid metallic tan. Champagne they called it. Looked nothing like champagne far as she could tell. Sure wouldn't drink any champagne THAT color she mused as she fumbled for her keys. More like stained, dirty sheets in some cheap ass motel room. She hated it. Laughing again as she carefully pulled into the street, she wondered, didn't she have anything she loved? Without resentment or strings or guilt? Pure, simple, love. Thinking about it she fiddled with her cell phone. Pizza sounded good. Better than stopping anywhere. She figured a straight shot home was the best bet. 6 different pizza joints were programmed in so she just punched the button in for the first one she came to. Looking down at the phone she wasn't paying attention to the road as she flew through not one but three red lights. She did not notice the stop signs in between either. Miraculously, she didn't hit anyone. In her inebriated state she never even noticed the squealing tires or the drawn out horn blasts of the other vehicles. By the time she remembered to look up at the road, it was too late to avoid the UPS truck stopped in front of her. Oh shit, she thought, or was it shouted? The last coherent thought she had was how funny it was that her jacket was sitting in the passenger seat. She hadn't lost it after all. In shock she watched as the hood of her SUV she so loathed crumpled as she yanked the wheel with all her weight to the left. The SUV flipped into oncoming traffic. Slowly, it seemed to her, the windshield spider webbed. It was a mercy that she couldn't see out. The windshield lit up, the shattered glass causing the light to refract and it glowed in a glorious nimbus. It was beautiful. She smiled as the light went out.

I Love This Man!!!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (In Arizona) who created the "Tent City Jail":

He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for
them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their
weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and
city projects.

Then He Started Chain Gangs ForWomen So He Wouldn't Get Sued For
Discrimination.

He took away cable TV Until he found out there was A Federal Court Order
That Required Cable TV For Jails.
So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again
Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel.

When asked why the weather channel He Replied, So They Will Know

How Hot It's Gonna Be While They Are Working ON My Chain Gangs.

He Cut Off Coffee Since It Has Zero Nutritional Value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, "This Isn't The Ritz/Carlton.
If You Don't Like It, Don't Come Back."

He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into
the jails.

When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he
replied that a Democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the
inmates were in his jails in the first place.

More On The Arizona Sheriff:
With Temperatures Being Even Hotter
Than Usual In Phoenix (116 Degrees Just Set A New Record), the
Associated Press Reports:

About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment
At The Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To
Their Government-Issued Pink Boxer Shorts.
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on
their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 Degrees
Inside The Week Before.

Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their
Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS.

"It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace," Said James Zanzot, An Inmate Who
Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year. "It's Inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long
ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches,
is not one bit sympathetic.

He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates:
"It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too,And
They Have To Wear Full Battle Gear, But They Didn't Commit Any Crimes,
So Shut Your Damned Mouths!"

Way To Go, Sheriff!

Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime
and/or repeat offenders.

Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until
it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so
they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things
taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.

How Many Monkeys???

so have you ever had to do a home improvement project? well if you haven't, be thankful. (You Jerk.) And if you have, tell me... did you have the same issues we are having? let me explain...yes?
So we are getting our humble (oh so VERY humble) abode all prettified and ready to be presented to the world and all those in it as a piece of real estate that they should probably be maiming each other over, JUST for the CHANCE of putting in an offer to purchase, and yes a death match IS a rather small price to pay for the honor of actually living there. So you see what we have in mind yes? 1300 sq ft of pure brick bliss. ANYWAYS...we have some things to do repairwise... and it seems that there is a price you must pay to the universe for the dubious honor of ACTUALLY completing a repair. And that price seems to be...if you fix a small problem, then during the process of the repair you are required by universal law to find a bigger problem. This "bigger problem" MAY seem relatively simple upon first sighting...but IN FACT it WILL without question cost no less than TWICE what the original issue would have cost. And this is assuming that you are trying to fix the original issue the cheesy way. Or as my Da calls it "Jerry rigging" (duct tape and wire, yes?). Now if you are being a good and honest individual as Zelph and i try to be...you will inevitably and up paying at least 3x as much because, well you are fixing both problems the "right way". PLUS it will naturally take 5x longer than the cheesy way. This seems to me to be rather unfair. So needless to say, we have many days of spending money on things we don't want to spend money on, so that OTHER people can enjoy the newly tiled bathroom floor or the working (for the first time in 2 years) kitchen light. They had better make it a good ass death match. I expect to be entertained for all my trouble.
So to sum up.... Home repairs are shite, Death Matches rock my socks, and there are 7 monkeys.
meh.

a 3 day trip

i have no idea how i can be packing for a thee day trip and already i have an entire LARGE suitcase already filled. And that's without diapers, wipes, sippy cups and toys...thats JUST CLOTHES and makeup/accessories... oh god...it must be true...I'M TURNING BACK INTO A GIRL AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats the only explanation i can come up with. HOWEVEER, in my defense....i am packing the belongings of three people into one bag...so you guys all just chill. (who am i even talking to?)
so tomorrow i have to get up, shower and do the hair thing, get The Bug up and situated, finish packing, take out the trash, get Zelph up and going, fill animal food containers, clean out the car, change the oil and air filter in the car and get everyone loaded into said car and ready to go and then get to MD by 6pm. *woof* i think i will set my alarm for 6:30....something i haven't done since my EAS. the only thing that gets me out of bed any earlier than noon is The Bug, she like to get up around 8:30ish...
ok y'all no time to goof off on a blog no-one reads..
Later!
-the staff

so....wednesday....shmeangh...

so i'm heading to MD this weekend, but not for fun or anything, one of my Best Friends lost his father yesterday, no he didn't like leave him in the park or anything like that you smart asses. He passed on, fini, he is gone. He has been sick off and on since before i met him, cancer and bouts of Pneumonia and whatnot...but man, i tell you what, He's one of the coolest, most down to earth and Hilarious men i have ever met...Seriously, and he reminds me so much of my dad too. He will be greatly missed, and i prefer not to refer to him in the "past tense" as it were, because to me that is like forgetting him, shoving him into the past...And as long as we who love him cherish our memories, whether we have known him for Decades, months or days... he will NOT be a part of our past but a part of our present. And that is my take on things.... So we are headed up for the funeral Saturday...i'm even going to wear a dress. ok well, meh i'm off to do some things, wish me luck!

oh yeah by theway

If anyone reads this and is confused...
Zelphy-Poo is my Loving lovely Husband and The Bug is my Daughter. She is currently 17 months old.
meh.

The NEWEST bullshit to come up the drainpipe...

regarding the whole "video game addiction" issue...

i think pretty soon they will be making an excuse for ANY type of behavior that people display. For instance: a 9 year old has too much energy and is bouncing off the walls, people automatically jump to ADD or ADHD, but yet they continue to pour sodas and junk foods and whatnot down his throat right along with the ritalin. now it's "oh my kid plays video games too much", instead of unplugging the damn machine and telling the kid "ok, OUTSIDE." like my 'rents did, they say "oh! my poor baby has a Mental Disorder, My poor baby is ADDICTED to the game, please medicate them and oh by the way now my insurance can pay for it" parents need to step up to the plate and take a more active role in their kids, instead of being glad for the t.v. and and movies and games that keep our kids "out of our hair for an hour or two" hey we've all done it and i'll admit it is DAMN nice to sit the Bug down in front of a Baby Einstein video and lay on the couch and catch an extra 30 minutes of sleep or catch up on my book. But it does NOT substitute for getting down on the floor and really REALLY looking at your child, Watching the Bug learn and discover the world around her every day is like a daily miracle for me. Last week she learned to spin in a circle and walk backwards (we're so proud) , this week she is learning to say "eat" when she is hungry. Imagine what these people are missing out on who don't know their own children... but i digress, (don't judge me Monkey!) what i am saying is people will spend so much time trying to find a way to shift the blame of their failings. For the kids it's "my parents didn't hug me enough" maybe they didn't, but you know what? There are MILLIONS of people out there who don't get enough "hugs" but they would GLADLY take your place in society, and they wouldn't spew all this mindless drivel about who's fault it is when they screw up. And for the record, i Do believe in mental disorders and addictions, but i think people are WAY to quick to jump to a LABEL or an EXCUSE as i like to call it. I'm fat because i'm not happy, i'm not happy 'cause i'm fat. I'm Dyslexic so i CAN'T do well in school. I like to have a glass of wine with dinner every night so i MUST be an Alcoholic! I'm addicted to Nicotine so i CAN'T quit smoking, i'm addicted to Nicotine BECAUSE i smoke. My child shot and killed another child, it must be because he played a violent video game.
Certainly it's not MY fault!!! i couldn't have educated my child about guns and gun safety.
i can't simply put the cigarettes down and trust to a little thing called willpower to not buy another pack or to throw away the pack i have.
Am i the ONLY person who sees where this is going? if people don't start taking responsibility for there own actions again, we are going to end up in a very pathetic state of affairs.
Child molesters let go because they "can't help it, they are addicted to sex with children, it's a mental disorder, not their fault at all." People not being drug/disease tested at work any more because it's "discrimination" or some B.S. like that.
whatever it's getting late and i need to call Zelphy-poo before i go curl up with a good book. i should make more entries into this thing it are make me feel better to vent a bit, hehe
meh.

The law of the Jungle

NOW this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back—
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip; drink deeply, but never too deep;
And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep.

The jackal may follow the Tiger, but, Cub, when thy whiskers are grown,
Remember the Wolf is a hunter—go forth and get food of thine own.

Keep peace with the Lords of the Jungle—the Tiger, the Panther, the Bear;
And trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock not the Boar in his lair.

When Pack meets with Pack in the Jungle, and neither will go from the trail,
Lie down till the leaders have spoken—it may be fair words shall prevail.

When ye fight with a Wolf of the Pack, ye must fight him alone and afar,
Lest others take part in the quarrel, and the Pack be diminished by war.

The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, and where he has made him his home,
Not even the Head Wolf may enter, not even the Council may come.

The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, but where he has digged it too plain,
The Council shall send him a message, and so he shall change it again.

If ye kill before midnight, be silent, and wake not the woods with your bay,
Lest ye frighten the deer from the crops, and the brothers go empty away.

Ye may kill for yourselves, and your mates, and your cubs as they need, and ye can;
But kill not for pleasure of killing, and seven times never kill Man!

If ye plunder his Kill from a weaker, devour not all in thy pride;
Pack-Right is the right of the meanest; so leave him the head and the hide.

The Kill of the Pack is the meat of the Pack. Ye must eat where it lies;
And no one may carry away of that meat to his lair, or he dies.

The Kill of the Wolf is the meat of the Wolf. He may do what he will,
But, till he has given permission, the Pack may not eat of that Kill.

Cub-Right is the right of the Yearling. From all of his Pack he may claim
Full-gorge when the killer has eaten; and none may refuse him the same.

Lair-Right is the right of the Mother. From all of her year she may claim
One haunch of each kill for her litter; and none may deny her the same.

Cave-Right is the right of the Father—to hunt by himself for his own:
He is freed of all calls to the Pack; he is judged by the Council alone.

Because of his age and his cunning, because of his gripe and his paw,
In all that the Law leaveth open, the word of the Head Wolf is Law.

Now these are the Laws of the jungle, and many and mighty are they;
But the head and the hoof of the Law and the haunch and the hump is—Obey!

numero uno

And so she shall blog and it will be good. what are these things for anyways? well regardless, here i am and so it shall be. why did i start this thing? it's 9:45 and i am SADLY, bored out of my mind. i considered going to sleep, but i am not tired yet and doubtless i would end up simply lying there. thinking. i hate doing that. nothing good ever comes from it. i should be packing, i leave for 6 weeks on tues day, and so far i have packed very little and the house is not yet clean. but you know what they say..."hardwork pays off in the end, laziness pays off now."
and so with those words of...wisdom? i shall leave you. it's a 50/50 chance that i will ever come back to this thing...i will or i won't. we shall see....
