Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright.
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light.
And, somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout,
but there is no joy in Austin -
the Holy Rollers got beat out.
What a shitty day. My motorcycle sold. I was looking to console my loss with roller derby. However, the Holy Rollers...

Aww. Roller Derby....! I miss the Holy Rollers and Bel Air!
Those dirty bastards are going to try to take my baby away from me. 
They think that just because I put it up for sale, it's OK to take my motorcycle and leave me with some stupid money instead. I put my bike up on ebay and it ends about this time tomorrow. I've already had a couple people bid, a few came out to...

I just had an interesting/humbling conversation with an ex of mine in Las Vegas. This is the big ex; the one I was "technically" engaged to once. (long story)
She is a bit crazy and I've stayed on good terms with her. Both of these are true of almost all of my exes.
She was having a bit of an anxiety attack and she called...

Maybe if I ever find a responsible girl who's life is still a train wreck, I'll get engaged and actually follow through with it.
You ready to get married???
I'm kidding.
I see nothing wrong with the way that you think...
I wouldnt say that you are transparent though either...
I mean, you WERE engaged to this girl, right?...Shouldnt she know you pretty well???

Last night I saw the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on in my life. Literally! She was one of the cigarette promo girls down on 6th st. She was a goth girl with a very "Adams Family-Mortisha" type look. She was very pale with long straight dark hair and was wearing this way cool coat that went down to her ankles. The clincher...

Won't tell, but one quick question.
How are you going to find the "perfect girl" if the ones that catch your eye are "out of your league"?
How do you know if they are "out of your league"....next time, maybe you should try to hit on her. Not obnoxiously, but, you know, just strike up a conversation or something. Not say "hi" and swim off.
...Just a thought.
It's almost Friday!
Enjoy your weekend!

Yeah, I know how all you Texans feel about your Gravedigger..but I'M part of team BigFoot! And when I drive the truck again (assuming I'm still in Texas then) you aren't just invited to be there, you're OBLIGATED! So there!!!
Went to Casino and had a Buffalo Burger, a Lone Star and a shot of Powers whiskey. Stopped by Cheapo and bought me some Deadbolt (which I listened to on the way home) and some Oi Polli (which I listened to while I worked out). Saw a huge pig in the back of someone's pickup. It had to stand diagonally because it was too big...

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck! I was making preparations to get Bel Air knocked up and it all went to shyte on me. Neapolitan Mastiffs are a rare breed-so rare in fact that when Bel Air was born, the breed wasn't recognized by the AKC. Thus, Bel Air has FSS papers. The AKC recognized the breed and took over last summer. However, the original FSS...

I get to go home early tonight, and then I'm getting a four day weekend to make up for the time I spent in court on my days off last week. I'm going to bite the bullet and put the chopper up for sale today too. It's got to go if I'm going to get even cooler toys.
I'm researching potential boyfriends for Bel Air....

My second day at court was kinda fun today. I'm the only one I know of who feels this way, but I kinda like testifying at court. I enjoy the little mental fencing between myself and the defense attorney with the whole case on the line. This was a DWI case. It was an unusual circumstance because there were no sobriety tests (he refused them...

I've said how I used to like being a social worker because it made me feel important. That's probably because I WAS important. I was the only person in all five boroughs of NYC who served the deaf and hard of hearing domestic violence victims. I was a specialist with a specialty, if you know what I mean. And I also spent a lot of time in court and with the Brooklyn DA's office. I never had to testify. Instead I used to give trainings and show up as an advocate.
My favorite case was of this Iranian born deaf woman who married a hard of hearing man from a neighboring country. He spent 20 years severely beating her, causing miscarraiges and all sorts of things. Together they had three children.
By the time I met her she had left him and they had been in litigation for at least a year or more. Her own lawyers thoughts she was nuts. She had lost her home and her children just to save herself...she was now in court for visitation. It looked hopeless.
When I stepped onto the scene...I met with her lawyers and with the children's lawyer...and explained to them what it is like to be deaf, the cultural differences she had both as an Iranian and as a deaf woman. Cleared up that she was indeed NOT nuts, but when she saw her lawyer talking to her ex-husband (because he was representing himself in some matter), how it would look that everyone was conspiring against her. And no, the lawyers had never used an interpreter with her... I met with the law guardian and explained how the children also have cultural differences being children of deaf adults. Etc...
Long story short...I saved that woman's life. She received equal visitation rights and when her youngest child reaches 18 the house will be sold and she will receive half of the money from the sale.
I also met with her as a counselor...and helped her deal with the emotional strain and trauma of being so severely beaten for so many years. To see the changes that woman made, with a little help from me...I swear, it was one of the most satisfying moments of my life.
Thinking about it now makes my head swell a little bit too and that's ok. I worked my ass off for that woman.
So anyway, I'm not bored by your work stories so go ahead and keep sharing them! (and i'll keep boring you with mine!)

Oh yeah? Well... I put out over 1000 gallons of fuel yesterday in the blinding rain. 
Grrr My 57 has been in pieces for days now! It had a leaking rear end so I decided to fix it myself even though I'm not an advanced mechanic by any means. Besides being all bass ackwards and having to remove the whole front housing instead of just a plate on the back, It had a couple of strange square (not hex) bolts that...

I'm just afraid of losing nuts, washers etc. I'm almost stupid enough to try to attach the drive shaft to the brakes but not quite, so I won't lose anything like that.
The new roller derby season starts up on Feb 13! I've already gotten the day off. All i need is a cute rockabilly girl to take to it. Of course, if I weren't a big sissy, I'd ask the vet, but girls are scary, so that may not happen.
