The stars are cruising around in the universe...shifting and changing things...strange, very strange...
It's been a good long weekend though.
The DeSoto didn't get finished to bring to the Primer Nationals on Saturday, but these things happen. Especially with the old cars, I'm beginning to realize. We're close though...
So...Saturday we took the '50 Studebaker ramp truck instead and caravaned down the hill with a...

Ah, the quiet life of a redneck...
I sleep late into the morning...
Have my coffee and cigarette under a tree in the yard...contemplating life and watching the hummingbirds with a gimpy dog at my feet...
Eventually I get into my coveralls and head out to work...sanding and banging away on this car parked under a shade tree...country music in the background...
When it gets...

Hi, I saw your post in the Long Beach group and figured I 'd say hi. I'm a newbie to Long Beach also, and do you have a pic of the desoto you worked on. I'm looking to buy somethin within the next few months!!
mrginger:
I have no luck parking under shade trees. its the birds.
Not ALL spider-webby memories are bad...
The other day Moldy had gone out to a meeting and left me working on the DeSoto on my own...
There I was, perched precariously across the rear windshield, trying not to dent anything while I was working out the dents in the roof (gotta love steel bodied cars that you can actually do that on)...when AC/DC's "thunderstruck" came...

Ahh, I love Thunderstruck. Especially a good 'ahhh-ahhhh-yaaaaah-ahhh!!' sing-a-long with mates.

We'll be looking for awhile. We have a lot of shifts to get covered and we're in desperate need of a bartender. Kick your captors in the shins then come to work!
Fear not fellow dreamers...
Not five minutes after hitting the 'post' button on that last journal did I actually pick up a guitar...
I'd been left alone in the house...a house filled with guitars and all kinds of instruments...
I'd MEANT to eat some dinner...take a bath...y'know...the regular...and yet, for some reason, as I was passing by the rows of guitars I found myself thinking...hmmm,...

Fear not, fellow travelers...there isn't anything 'wrong.'
I've just been tripping around in the spiderwebs of historical thinking...
It's funny (and annoying, quite frankly) the way one memory strings me along to another...
My health gives me shit and I'm reminded of an abusive boyfriend...and a promise to myself I didn't uphold.
The promise reminds me of the moment in my life I made it...which...

I know the feelings of not being given the chance to strive at that which you want. I'm glad I found journalism. It's allowed me to take all the things I've felt stifled in and been able to express them.
You will find your muse. I promise.
You will find your muse. I promise.
How is it I can be a muse to so many...and still have my own creative juices so stifled?

Dear R,
You'll never know how much it meant to me for you and your family to take me in for Christmas because I have no family of my own.
You'll never know how it touched this cold heart to see that you had a stocking just for me on the mantle.
How you'd refuse to let me leave to try and beat the storm....because...

wow. you crazy rebel, you. I wish I had the guts to just strike out on my own like that. I am definitely a safety-net kind of girl, so I never leave a job without another one lined up, and I've never just up and moved to a new place for myself, and not for a job or a man. I salute you, lady!
say hello to bean and shalome for me. they're two of my fave peeps in SoCal, and they live in LB, too.

I can do any thing better than you

tee hee. Speaking of Annie Get Your Gun - apparently there will be a production of it next year at the Redondo Beach Opera/Performing Art Center. They sent me a pamphlet for four plays all of which will not run until 2007.
Wait, how was the game show.

A WEEK IN REVIEW...
True...I've only been in Long Beach for a week now...but already my life is returning to normal.
No, not that sleeping on couches and being unemployed is normal...
What IS normal is that I've already gone out to dinner twice...three bars...spent time hanging out at a tattoo shop...and helped to break down a honda for parts.
I've had numerous pints of...
