What the (ok I'm gonna say it) SPQR?

I'm fired! I'm taking an attorney with me to go get em!
They are so smug and self confident. HmmHmmHmm...
I'm not sure if I will prevail.
But if the attorney feels that I have a leg to stand on
he will work on a contingency basis.
They must have thought I would take whatever they dished out.
So, to them I say, "SPQR!"

sometimes strangers are nicer than the people you know, but not always

I like to make comments to people in line at the store.
We have a little something in common. We're both shopping.
These little interactions are very enjoyable for me.
It reinforces for me that we are all more alike than different.
People are interested in being around other people that are happy, nice and friendly.
I know how much I like it. I have superficial relationships with
many people at cash registers around town. Sometimes those people
become someone that I know in some other capacity. Those people know me
as someone with a sense of humor that is encouraging and positive.
That is a way in which I would be happy to be characterized.
Those are the people I seek out in life.
I will miss Mark Grall.
He is that sort of person.
I look forward to finding out how he flourishes in his new place
on the east coast.
My best wishes and friendship go with you Mark!!

Sunday Evening

I had an idea for a story.
It's called Friday Night in Heaven, Saturday Night in Hell.
It is about all the fun the people/angels in heaven miss out on
when it is Friday night. They are jealous of the humans
and wish they could go dancing and get drunk
and get laid or go to the movies and eat candy, popcorn and drink pop.
What about going out on a date at a fancy restaurant
or to the prom or have a sleepover at your friends house and tell ghost stories
and talk about certain people and how horny you get when you are around them.
Then there is Saturday Night in Hell.
All the people/devils in there are wishing they could go to church.
They wish they could sit through a long boring sermon
or sing an off key version of a religious song.
How about having that person behind you that has the 3 year old
that they are constantly shushing while he/she asks why that old lady smells funny?
Don't forget to bow your head and pray.
Anyway, that is my idea. If any of you out there steal my idea,
may your days on earth be filled with joy and harmony.
You might be hoping to go to church someday for eternity.

PS. I don't believe in heaven or hell. However, I know some of you do.

Saturday Morning

Remember cartoons and sugary cereal?
Remember playing outside in the open air with your friends?
Remember having almost nothing to do except whatever you wanted?
Remember when the hardest thing you had to do was clean your room?
Even though I have a whole bunch of things to do do I kind of feel that way today.
I can get things done at home. I don't have to go to work.
The sun is shining and it's not too hot or too cold.
I got to sleep in until 7:30(woo hoo)(big deal huh?)(Well, 7:30 felt REALLY good)
I've had my coffee and I am about to have some breakfast.
Then I get to do whatever I want to do.
I hope you are having a great day.
My antidepressants must be working!
Good morning Lorie, and Mark and colie.doll, and Sunny, and all the people in China and
all the people everywhere else and all the "whatever you are" on other planets out there.
Maybe I need less coffee...

The first week of Gruel...I mean School

Last week was the first week of school for Alex and Sunny.
After that we had to go to a wedding in Seattle.
So, to say the least, we've been very busy.
The wedding was way over the top expensive.
Sunny and I got married by a JP.
It cost $35.
That's not to say that people shouldn't pay a lot for a wedding.
It's not the wedding that's important.
It's the marriage.
Even with that, there are no guarantees in life.
Do you know of one?

What would you change?

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would change my vision so I could get rid of my glasses.
If you could change one thing you did in your life, what would it be?
I would have taken journalism classes in high school or college.
If you could do one thing that you have never done, what would it be?
I would travel to the Azores and learn to surf.
What about you?

Feel like blogin' but don't know what to say

So, what? Should I not say anything?
I might try saying nothing with as many words as I can string together.
Maybe in the saying of nothing something will emerge without my knowing it.
I may accidentally express the quantum equation for the description of a black hole
or a white hole. Are there white holes? (no, not that kind you nasty trollop)
Maybe I will say nothing so perfectly that it will cause Monks in China to weep and ask their government to send them to meet the great Zen master.
Ok, here goes...
