I am feeling very existential and Zen this afternoon. I had a reminder of a past relationship today. It was a relationship that ended poorly and without truth or dignity and with me being the victim. This reminder came like a well swung baseball bat and cracked me right between the eyes. It came unexpectedly, out of the blue, and from an unlikely source. Pow!...

The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies! The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!

The cycle swap meet in Chicago was a blast. It ended up being just me and my buddy going over together but that was kool. I picked up a new (used) oil tank for the Sportster. My old one worked fine, but it had a dent in the side of it from some jackass many, many years ago before I bought it. I also picked...

There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love

Chorus:
How will I know (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know
How will I know (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know
How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is all bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking, wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love

So, once again, I just got back home. I'm actually kinda drunk. I met a friend of mine at the grocery store tonight while I was shopping so I ended up going over to her place and shooting the shit all evening. She's got all sorts of issues, her mom just died of cancer on New Years, her boyfriend is a real piece of work...

I typically update everyday, just haven't been around today and not sure I have much to say. Anyway, I don't mind that you hog so much space. blush

Pictures next time, I'll hold you to it.

Just got back in tonight. Went out with friends for dinner tonight, haven't seen them in a while so it was nice to hang with them for a while. They're all getting old, glad that only happens to other people and not me!

I haven't been out in quite a while actually. I kinda took the winter off and focused on working on my house...

How did you know If i never told
You found out I've got a crush on you
No more sharades,
My hearts been displayed
You found out I've got a crush on you

Maybe I was the one who left the trace
Was there a message written on my face
One little emotion so easily read
That you would know my love before a word was said...
Was it my eyes that let you know you had control
Because the way you move
It was so self-assured
You knew I would surrender!

Damn all day without lyrics... frown

Ugh! I had to pay bills tonight. I've been putting it off for quite a while now. Just when you think your getting a leg up on things...Wham!....reality comes and kicks you in the nuts. Ouch.

I can't wait for this weekend to get here, not that I have any plans, but I just don't want to go to work any more this week.

I...

I believe in miracles
Where you from
You sexy thing
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing

Miracles right before my eyes
You sexy thing got me hypnotised
Don't stop what ya' doing
What ya' doing to me
My angel from above lying next to me
How did ya' know that I'd be the one
Been a long time coming only just begun
Doing all the things that makes my heart sing
Keep doing what you're doing you sexy thing

You kick ass! You've caused me to have a cheesy ass grin on my face all day!

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

The jumps went great. Got 6 lifts in all. The winds on the DZ were questionable on our last drop and I took a digger and got dragged for a while, but that's what the man pays me to do, so, hoo ya... whatever

Depending on what kind of jump we're doing, we usually pull at 3500. You have to remember, we're not sporting, we're trying to get 16 guys with 200lbs of gear to all land within a couple hundred yards of each other with huge, sluggish, slow canopies. We usually jump at 13000 because that's where our 02 regulations start kicking in. We have jumped from over 29,000 before, but it takes a LOT of working up to, and a lot of time sitting there pre-breathing oxygen - like 4 hours sucking on a tube - to purge all your residual nitrogen from your body so you don't black out. It's some scary shit. When the ramp goes down at that altitude, and you get a good panoramic view, you can see the curvature of the earth.
We can also pull high right after exit, everyone on O2, stack on the low man that has a compass/gps and use the winds upstairs to push us many, many miles. It's tricky, and sometimes, even requires a bit of luck, but it works well when you can't get an aircraft near the desired landing zone.

I had to go through "diversity" training today at work. Standard corporate boilerplate. Blah, blah, blah. There was one pretty cool video though. It was an old news report from the late sixties on a grade school class out in an all white, small town in Iowa (I think). It was rather interesting, Mrs. Elliot, the third grade teacher divided up the class of kids...

I live in Virginia Beach. I am deployed right now. Not sure when I will be home.
The photo in my profile, is in my "pics" area, larger and in more detail. It's a photo from a re-enlistment jump. There are a couple more photos in there from the same jump that are pretty cool.
So, you're jumping a handkererchief? What's that like... confused
I'm not sure what I'll do when I pull a toggle and the chute actually turns... Guess I'll have to learn to flare by then too... biggrin

Who teaches handicapped people how to park? They get these big wide easy to get to primo parking spaces all to themselves and not a single one of them can park straight in them. It's all they can do to to even stay in between the lines, and they've got to be twice as wide as a normal space! What the hell!

Do you think...

Oh, and in answer to your question up there, I think, perhaps a bit of both.
People who park in handicapped spaces that aren't handicapped: I don't have a problem with. Maybe they didn't see the paint or didn't see the sign... Whatever...
My problem is: When handicapped people park in the fucking healthy people spots... What the fuck? They know they're handicapped, right? They have the tag and everything... biggrin
horsehead12:
hey dude how are you settling in here?
props to your rob halford pic... where did you meet him?
nothing delights me more to read about the handicapped parking skew-whiff. as it is a kind of fuck off to society who generally treat them like 3rd class citizens. note "generally".
i am neurologically untypical (h/c) and have to deal with fucking strangers laughing at me just because i walk in a slightly unorthodox fashion. so basically those that park like that do it deliberately to wind the general unhandicapped public up. hee hee it's working wink smile biggrin

Just wanted to thank you for the fashion advice, it's much appreciated!
crftony:
Hey man, Make-over's stalled 'til I can get in for a haircut (Thursday). Decided to go with short/spikey. I'm not bold enough to carry off bald. Waiting to drop another 20 or so pounds before I buy some new clothes. Besides, the cool Spring clothes aren't out yet here anyway. biggrin Thanks again for the help and keep in touch.
