I know it's 3 am and I need to be asleep, but I need to get this thought down before my stream of consciousness wanders off somewhere else...
So I was having a discussion with Mom today about smart people, and I commented that some of the smartest people I've ever met work at some of the most pedestrian of jobs. A dishwasher at Huddle... Read More
I'M BACK! It looks like my on-again, off-again love affair with this website is officially back on...for the next three months, at least. So who missed me?
Apparently one of y'all did. I'm not sure who renewed my membership for me, but whoever it was....thank you.
So what have I missed?
(I shall return with a full update on all my shenanigans from the past... Read More
Update: My subscription to this website expires on January 22nd. But while I may "go grey" for a bit, I shall return. So don't delete me from your friends list just yet...
So I was screwing around on Facebook earlier, keeping track of the Richardson diaspora, and I found this gem. Maybe you, as an ordinary citizen, won't find this terribly amusing. I, as a... Read More
Well, well, well. No updates since last summer. When y'all last heard from me, I was mooching a bedroom at a friend's house on the west side of Spartanburg, driving a 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight with major cooling-system issues, and working at a gas station while moonlighting as a field organizer for a Presidential campaign....
It's amazing how much your life can change in six short... Read More
wow! you've become someone! who is bill richardson? a serious concurrent? i haveb't seen a lotof your elections right now...
good luck for your trip west, it reminds me of the time i was reading lewis and clark for classes...
Wow, that's a hell of a lot of info to take in! And yes, I would hope and expect Bill Richardson to be in the next cabinet, at least. He wouldn't be a bad Secty of State, IMO!
Headed to New Mexico! Is Gina coming with you right away? I've got your MySpace, so I'll be able to keep up.
Trivia question you may be able to answer: Did Gov. Richardson ever pardon Billy the Kid? Or is it still being deliberated?
As most of you are likely well aware, a Democratic Presidential debate was held in Charleston, SC this Monday. What you don't know is that, since I took the job as regional field coordinator for the Bill Richardson campaign, I was obliged/privileged to have been there in an actual official capacity. And what a long, bizarre trip it was....
It is my pleasure to offer you a staff position in the Richardson for President Campaign.
The most important individuals in this campaign will be those on the ground and working in the Field. My hope is that you will accept the position of Regional Field Organizer.
The salary for this position is $1250 per month. The beginning... Read More
So the other day I went out antiquing with Gina and her mom.
Yes, I said "antiquing." I visited a bunch of quaint little shops around Landrum, SC and Tryon, NC, looking at shelf after shelf of dusty old junk. Actually, it was a lot more fun than it sounds like, trust me. And I actually got some stuff, too:
i love antiquing-- i use my grandmother's antique plates as well.
also-- i'm glad SOMEONE that commented on my journal understands the barefoot cockroach stomp! time is of the essence in that situation-- there's no time to find a shoe!
I can't even ride a go-cart without risking life and limb. Here's the story...
My buddy Tim bought a second-hand "yard cart" at the flea market the weekend before last for $150. It's basically the same kind of cart you'd find at mini golf courses and fun parks all over the country...only this one has had its... Read More
Yah, we feel each other on the money issue. I've had to cancel my plans this weekend so I can work instead....so I probably won't even go to the parade.
Thanks for the b-day wishes.
