My Mind

Because I have nothing better to write about right now, an evolution of me, in pictures, from the past few years. Get a good laugh from some of the older ones LOL.

Does it always seem like Fridays are the longest days of the damned week? Today seems to have been dragging on FOREVER!!!!! This weekend looks like it might be a bit of a bust. I know that I have massive amounts of laundry to do, take Murphy to the vet for her shots, and get my vehicle sticker, but other than that, I really have no business. Maybe I will take the opportunity to just rest! That would be something totally different!

You Should Be A Gemini

What's good about you: witty and energetic, you're simply the most fun to be around What's bad about you: you're flighty - losing interest in people and projects quickly In love: you enjoy the "honeymoon phase," but after that it's hard for you to stick around In friendship, you're: likely to have many groups of friends, with many different interests Your ideal job: mime, guru, or cartoonist Your sense of fashion: casual and simple You like to pig out on: fast food, especially burritos

Ok, enough of the woe is me from Monday. The plubing issues have been repaired, and things on that front are back to normal. Thankfully I had the financial abitily to resolve the situation. Now I will just play "Rob Peter to pay Paul" but everything will work out fine.

Things are still progressing with the training of puppyliscious ( I should just rename her that), and she goes back to the vet on Saturday for her follow up shots.

The dating things is still going well. Joe and I are just about at the two month mark, and other than the typical ups and downs of any situation, things seem to be going well. The only issue is our schedules getting a little bit in the way, but hopefully (fingers crossed) I will be able to remedy some of that shortly.

Well, that is all for now. Check back later to see if I have anything new to report........

Film at 11 LOL

Sorry it has been a few, but Murphy's Law (no, not the puppy) has been kicking my ever loving ass!!

The visit from my friend from NY went well. That has been about all that has gone well. Well, the house training of puppyliscious is going along ok. She is still having the ocassional accident, but she is getting the hang of it.

Saturday night, went to Marquise's birthday event at Carsons. I don't think I will be going back there after the horrible service we received. The waiter was practically throwing things on the table, and was so inattentive, that when I ordered a glass of shiraz, he instead brought out 3 straws. Asshole! After that, we went to Big Chicks, but I opted to not stay too long, as the crowd was just too much to handle. If I feel like I am pinned to a wall, and not in a nice way, it is time to go.

Then there was yesterday. The sewer in the house completely backed up, spewing forth the fouls from the depths. Today, the plumbers are digging up my yard, and taking thousands out of my wallet, all because the weeping willow burst through the pipe. I should be the one weeping, not the damned tree!! Oh well, she may need to be chopped down, and made into firewood........We shall see.

Things will get better, and if they don't, there is always Klonopin :-)

You will be missed!

18 August 1920 - 14 January 2006

There is actually a group called The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.

Now perhaps it is me, but why is fat acceptable? It is a health condition that can lead to cardiovascular problems, strokes, diabetes, etc. Now I am not saying you have to be cruel to the overweight amongst us, but you should hardly be promoting a fat lifestyle! If anything, they should be assisting overweight people to overcome their obesity.

Marilyn Wann, board member of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, said fat people are the target of a witch hunt in a fitness-obsessed nation.

"Everyone thinks it's OK to make fun of fatties," said Wann, who won't use the word "overweight" because she says it's judgmental.

This is an example of just how out of control Political Correctness has gone. The word overweight is NOT judgemental, it is an accurate description of the situation. If you are above your healthy weight, you are by definition OVERWEIGHT!!! We need to stop coddling people, and start helping them! There is no implicit right to not be offended, and modifying the wording used to describe something does not negate what it actually is.

Two thirds of Americans are now considered overweight. It is time to start actively promoting healthier lifestyles, and stop simply saying "Big is beautiful" and moving on. People's health, and very lives are at stake!

(Please note: I myself was overweight several years ago, after having a few surgeries that left me temporarily unable to be as physically active as I normally would be. I in no way expected people to accept my condition, because I didn't accept it as a tolerable situation. I am glad to say that once able, I took off those extra 50 pounds, not through deprivation or starvation, but by actively resuming my healthy level of activity, and maintaining a healthy diet.)

Moving on.....

This weekend has been......different. Went out last night, after spending the whole day just bumming around the house. I must have missed the busted drag queen memo, because there seemed to be a convention. Now, I have no prblem with dragons, but babies, if you are going to step out to a place, please put some grace in your face! Or at the very least, shave!

Heinekens and tequila shots did not even come close to making them look good!

Not much going on otherwise. Still waiting to hear back from the hospital in Sacramento regarding the recruiting letter they sent me. I spoke with the recruiter on Friday, and he said they were going through the responses and resumes, and would be picking the top six for interviews. I am truly keeping my fingers crossed!!!! Wish me luck!

This man really ought to be the one begging for the forgiveness of God!

Now, his ire has been turned towards Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The following are quotes by Pat Robertson*:

Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine punishment for "dividing God's land."

{Sharon} "was dividing God's land and I would say woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the EU (European Union), the United Nations, or the United States of America,"

This further goes to show just how deranged this man, and those of his ilk are. Ariel Sharon has worked to find peace in the Middle East, and all Pat Robertson can do is say, basically, you deserved your stroke. This is only a few months after he (Robertson) suggested we assasinate the democratically elected president of Venezuela. For some reason, I think it is Mr. Robertson who has some illness of the brain!

A very warm welcome to Matthew on finally beginning his blog!! You can find it at http://matthew.houseofdrama.net

Check him out!!!!!!!!!

Hell, make the rest up yourself!

Sorry I have been so lax in updating the way I used to, but a bitch is busy, and stressed!

Add to that, there really hasn't been much in my life to write about. It has become a hum drum existence of blah blah blah!

I'm still having mixed feelings about ever buying the house. On one hand, it is good to own property and all that, but on the other, it is just sucking the life out of me! In a way, I would rather just rent and have the disposable income I once enjoyed. I miss my frequent travels and adventures, but now everything seems to go into fixing, repairing or updating the damned house. Ok, so I AM over it! Ironically, the symptoms of depression, and home ownership seem to be about the same.

Symptoms of Clinical Depression:

- Persistent sad, anxious or “empty” mood
- Sleeping too much or too little, middle of the night or early morning waking
- Reduced appetite and weight loss, or increased appetite and weight gain
- Loss of pleasure and interest in activities once enjoyed, including sex
- Restlessness, irritability
- Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment (such as chronic pain or digestive disorders)
-Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions
-Fatigue or loss of energy
-Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless
-Thoughts of suicide or death
