wEEKLY cOGNITIVE rANDOMNESS
Been a while since I've had a corded phone. All I ever got on it were telemarketers and people calling trying to collect money from some loser who had my phone number before I did. But even in 2009 the corded phone does have one use, you can call your cell phone with it when you can't find your cell phone. Which...

Weeky Meandering Thought Process
It vexes me that I'm not better at more activities than I am actually good at. Most specifically music and conversation are things I wish I could do better.
It struck me yesterday that most of the things I'm good at and/or are interested in are very sensual things. I'm really great at giving massages and at sex. I like swimming...

Wasn't a good week at work, not that it ever is, but bumping into cars is real high on the list of bad things.
I've been brooding a lot about a video they showed us a truck driving school about an incident where a driver was charged with a preventable accident in a situation similar to mine. The driver was just about to back into...

What exactly was Coke's reaction? Did they relieve you of your employment?
silversurfer:
This is the incident with the Jeep that you talked about in your previous journal entry, right? Because you said the police gave the other driver a ticket. That's got to be a good sign. Yeah, you're not going to be happy that there was an accident, but it sounds like you're doing your due diligence. There's going to be some stuff that you can't control.
If you go back and look a second time, or a third time or a fourth time, they can still sneak up behind you after that, can't they?

Well, today came pretty close to being a good day.
I didn't have too many stops, or too many cases to deliver, but after I was finished with my last stop, I was tidying up the cab of the truck for a minute, and a vehicle pulled up behind me so close that I couldn't see it in either of my mirrors. I had to...

Hi all
Well, I was the very model of suck last night at open mic night. I get conflicting messages when I'm there. People ask me to play but then noone listens. Noone notices when I finish a song. Generally there will be one person listening, that individual will start to tentatively applaud when I finish a song, for fear of interrupting the conversations of...

Lets have a little YouTube of it.

The songs that I like the most often have lyrics that are not about things that I've experienced. Either the lyrics are evocative, like you said, or they're just fun, or go well with the music.
Lately I've been semi-obsessed with the New Riders of the Purple Sage. I don't know if you're familiar with them, but they're a psychedelic influenced country rock band that was started by Jerry Garcia and a couple of his musical friends. They were popular in the '70s, and they're actually still around, with two of the members from the "classic" lineup. They have one song, called "Whiskey", that's sung by a moonshiner driving a truckload of whiskey to Memphis. Not only have I never driven a truckload of moonshine whiskey to Memphis, but neither did the guy who wrote the song. In fact, I believe he went to prep school in Michigan. But there's something about the song -- the music and lyrics combined -- that's just appealing.

They say don't shit where you eat. Good advice.
You might remember the scene in Flash Gordon where Flash, Dale and Dr Zarkov are brought into Ming's audience hall where Ming's subjects are presenting their annual tributes. Ming kills one of them and Flash remarks to Dale, "This Ming's a psycho." Unfortunatey the little flying robot overheard him and repeated it aloud for Ming to...

i read this and i'm kinda floored. all the stuff that's been going on in my life really parallels yours. dealing with mean people is one of them, but i understand and relate to the way you feel afterward. it just kinda eats me inside. something happened to me a few days ago and it's been sitting in my stomach like a ball of tar-- just like you said.
anyway... you escaped by the skin of your teeth at work, and that shows that they do value you even though it was an unfortunate situation. i have a hard time containing myself in situations like that. i was on a train going to liverpool at like 5am about a week ago and since the ticket box wasn't open we had to buy our tickets on the train. well. the woman refused to take my card because it was american and didn't have a chip in it and because it said 'ask for id' instead of signing it, even though i provided id.... she just threw a total fit and i was stuck in between ripping her head off and just shutting up because she could very well kick me off the train and it was the last one i could take to get there on time. anyway. i ended up just shutting my mouth. but. i've been thinking about writing her manager with a huge complaint. same type of thing happened with the police department and me over the summer. ignorant people do ignorant things. after a week of situations like that i realized that i take for granted that i usually surround myself with normal, thoughtful people.... i don't know when i'm going to learn those necessary 'behave in public/not let it bother me' skills. maybe there's a class we can take. <3

"Knock, knock"
"Who's there?"
"Interrupting buddhanature."
"Interrupting.. . . ."
"Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
and then not explain what it means if they don't get it.
One thing about the stress of my job is that I've been breaking out with cold sores like I haven't done since high school.

Hey
I am a horrible obsessive camera freak, compulsive pixel peeper, camera test reader, that sort of thing. Ive been agonizing to a ridiculous degree and beyond lately about whether to keep saving up for a sony a900 or just take the easier route and get an a350 with a 17-50mm tamron. Now and then I feel like ive answered the question for myself one...

That's why I bought the Civic instead of the Mazda 3. Quality over price.

Hello everyone
Or maybe everyone is more people than read my blog but anyway
I kind of blew off work today. I wasn't entirely sure that I had the day off, and not wanting to be told "no" i didn't ask anyone at work that I could have asked. It was not completely ridiculous to make the assumption, I had a monster truckload of soda...

You're probably right, but I am going to give it a last chance. Some ultimatum is probably in order I'm just not sure what yet. Anyways, good to hear from you; it's nice to know the big road didn't consume you. Sorry I've been bad following people's journals, school's been a bitch as of late. I'm going to pick up an instrument too, keep you posted. Also, in so much as my usual journals are public and the one you posted in reference to was private, I axed the comment. You give good advise, don't get me wrong, i just fear the wrong person coming across it.
BtW, do you get all the coke you can drink for free?

Happy holy daze, my friend! 
ack camera horror stories- i am in the market for a new one- and being pretty cautious to the point that its been a year and I still havent chosen yet. :S
Maybe wait 'til it's a bit warmer and I'll actually use it.
Kind of expensive though. I think.
