I'm goin' fishing, I'm goin' fishing! Ok, so it's not for everyone, but you shouldn't knock it till you try it. No, I'm not a nasty bait fisher (so no master-baiter jokes you!) Only fly fishing for me (unless I'm on the ocean.) Hopefully I'll be going to northern New Mexico/ southern Colorado for about a week! I can't wait. I may have...

I didn't go to a theatre all by myself - I don't do that sillytongue I just sat here all alone (which really isn't much better come to think of it) confused

Usually it is myself and my co workers but they all took of camping for the weekend and lets face it - when you are in the army you could be "camping" at any time so why volunteer to go do "work" confused No thanks! I like to be the "pet sitter" for those occassionsbiggrin

How did your fishing go? That is one thing I just don't have the patients to do. I would probably give up after 10 minuts, jump into the water and catch the fish by hand just to get it all over withtongue Guess thats why I don't do it huh?wink

And yes - being alone sucks.frown My sister is all worried about that when she comes down to California too about being (the third wheel)eeek

I've got a couple tapped beverage containers, on 2.5 gallon (for green tea) and 2 one gallon ones (crystal light) that I keep cool, and I'm refilling my arrow head 1 gallon jugs. As far as containers go I've got a few (3) Nalgine bottles that I use. They're the best thing in the world. I use one at work for water or tea, and at home I've got one for tea or what ever. I need to kick the soda habbit, but I love carbonation, I'm a bit of a diet coke fiend. The US needs to take a long hard look at what Japan does as far as recycling goes, I think that they are the world leaders in recycling. I know when we put out our trash for collection everything had to be bagged in a specific type of recyclable bag that was see through so on platics day the trash man could see that there was nothing but plastics in the bag, or on can day nothing but cans (all cans had to be washed before being put into the bag), same goes for paper. I feel really guilty since there isn't recycling bins out in back of the apartment for trash, just one big dumpster. I try and do my part, but its kind of hard to take stuff down to the recycling place when I'm on a bike, thus the need for something other then the bike. Some how I feel that may be defeting the purpose, I'll just have to be more concious of what it is that I'm buying.

Oh yeah update your journal I'm tired of seeing stuff about fishing tongue

I keep trying to remind myself to focus on the positive instead of the negative, afterall things really could be alot worse! So why do I feel so glum? Well, it has to do with how boring and mundane my life is right now. I've...

Wow, talk about an exercise in futility... (Kind of reminds me of a Woody Allen movie - .Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex* *But Were Afraid To Ask. It was pretty a pretty corny movie spoofing a book by the same name. Despite it's cornyness, it had it's "mamorable" *ahem* memorable moments (especially for a kid) like being chased by giant boobs...

Here's an all time favorite of mine (and my Brother's too I think). It's kind of timely too even if it was recorded over 20 years ago (1984 to be exact, hmm... )

OH CRAP!!!!!! NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!!

Now I'm going to have to dig out that little ditty and see if I can learn the bass line to it biggrin

La La La Loonie too!

I actually wrote my first song this evening, I haven't decided what I'm going to call it, and I don't have any words to it, but it's kind of a kids marching song if that makes any sense confused I use part of When the Saint's Go Marching In for the intro and then switch it up for a lot quicker up beat sound. i don't know how it would sound on a "normal" guitar but it sounds pretty damn good on the bass. biggrin I think that I'm going to make it something like The March of the Ants or something that kids would like. HOLY CRAP I'M WRITING KIDS SONGS!!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME???? eeek

Nah it's all good biggrin

Hasta Bro!

Finally. (I just figured out how to post a new journal entry. I must have been lucky before...) Well, another end to a perfectly terrible week... On a good note, I made it out for another night-time excursion to Vail, only this time we went up the wrong "trail". Lots of time and energy wasted trying to ride up a sandy wash, I mean "trail"....

Amen to that... I think that Bush-Microsoft Inc. have infiltrated all the anti-establishmentary, civilly disobedient, conscientious objecting persons' computers. Through the process of fishing, tapping and recording, they have determined such individuals to be criminally subversive and unpatriotic. Deemed enemies of the state they must be silenced before they can corrupt and influence the minds of others through the use of commie-terrorist tactics like reason and discourse. The first step is to block all electronic transmissions by infecting the operating system (Microtrash) with a targeted virus (a devices unique MAC), rendering the computer completely inoperable after the infection has taken place. Before the computer displays the inevitable blue screen, the virus sends itself to all known associates and contacts known or believed to have communicated with the target. The next step is to limit their cellular and phone service so that calls will be missed or dropped, or have telemarketers calling constantly (regardless of the "do-not-call" list...) Soon you will be contacted by two men in white coats wielding a big butterfly net and a clean new coat with extra-long sleeves. You'll have yourself a oneway ticket to the funny farm where you will undergo electroshock "therapy" until you become a gibbering mess and confess against everything and everyone you love, and then finally admit your strong admiration, loyalty and yes, even love of our nations duly selected leader George W. Bush.

On a side note, ruddersteering! That's exactly it, with your ass on the tiller! (You're such a dirty sailor) ARRR!!! Lot's of whoa, whoop, whoa-oa-oa, YEAH! (If you make it all the way through that is). BTW, how's gas where you're at? Good thing you don't drive, it's becomming ridiculous with the prices. (But hey, a billionaire has got to eat, right?) About time to introduce hydro when gas prices continue to grow...

Gas is so expensive that it's not even worth fixing the Jeep right now because it will cost me more money to fill it up then it's really worth. Damn 1950's inefficiant designs eeek I honestly think that one trip to Lone Pine would cost me more money then it would cost to fix the Jeep right now. Last I looked (and since I don't buy gas don't quote me on this) gas was $3.25 a gallon for the (laugh) cheap stuff. At this rate I don't think that I will ever be able to afford to drive it again. frown Too bad since it's such a kick in the pants too. Maybe somewhere down the line I'll figure out a way to convert it to electricty and stick a Honda generator under the hood to keep the batteries charged.

Aaah, A nice free day. No School, No Work, No Boss. It was a beautiful day. I rode my bike through a meadow of tall grass undulating like waves in the soft breeze. It felt like I was in heaven.

Yeah, it's really gone to hell with a handgrenade. I just had a moment of realization today at the gas pump. I spent over $40 for the first time ever filling it up @ around $3.30/gal. (I remember grumbling about $30 with the same vehicle a few years back...) But that's besides the point. I have to use my vehicle to drive to school, but not to work. Hmm, bike anyone? Oh yea!!! Screw convenience, that's what got us (Americans) oink here in the first place (sitting our duffs in the lazy-boy drinking Bud (or Miller) gettin' fat while our muscles and brains atrophe and we (Americans) oink develop asthma from underdeveloped lungs and smog... Soon Americans oink will just rollover and die skull (taking everyone out with us "Steam-Roller! Steam-Roller!" -Ha had to get a Strange Brew line in there). What this country needs a real kick in the pants. I'm sick of all the rhetoric, how about some action. mad If the rest of the world can do it, so can we, it's just that the powers that be wanna make more money! (Hey, that rhymed, cool.) Then again, we could "just let it happen" and then it will be Mad Max, Water World and Disneyland all rolled into one. ARRR!!!

Mad Max, and Water World with Disneyland all rolled into one.... Hmm..... You know what, I can hardly wait. It sounds like the best theme park ever! biggrin I know that if it ever does get that bad the first thing I'm going to do is go to Walmart, they have everything I could ever need for this kind of event. Of course you know that the whole Mad Max, Waterworld and Disney idea only works for the high budget people, the rest of us will be stuck in the forbiden zone where fleshy headed mutants roam about....

In your last journal, you said you went on a night bike ride at Vail Lake. Were you part of that 24 hour bike ride they were having there? My friend lives acrossed Hwy 79 from Vail Lake and we were watching the lights from the bikes going up and down the hill all night. I've ridden those hills on horseback but I can't imagine going up them on a bike.
