"He smiles at someone
I can’t see
with his one missing tooth
(and three going fast.)
Says only,
“I think I believe
in ghosts,”
and continues singing
(now a bit more in tune.)"

And yet, I am happy.

I can't remember if I've ever asked this or not, but anyone interested in a free aquarium? I have two, all the fish died in the one, and it's now been empty for months. My only condition is you have to haul it.

It comes with all the pieces, you only need a new bulb and a filter insert. Maybe $10 worth of stuff.

I went out to my car this morning, only to find the driver window smashed and my stuff all over. Thankfully it was AFTER it rained. There were five cars in the lot and mine was the only one that was broken into. Does my radio look that expensive? Worse, they didn't even steal the thing! They started and then got lazy and just left. I wouldn't ( Read more... )

The vacation is almost over. We left the coast Sunday and headed to Portland. For those I've never mentioned this to, normally our trips involve going to our relatives in portland for 4 days, being bored like crazy, and then going to the coast, where we will receive news that someone in Fargo is dying, and we'll have to cut the vacation short and ( Read more... )

My sisters like to shop, I just sat on a bench and tried not to break my phone because it beat me at backgammon AGAIN.

It was a tiring week at work and I really want a drink right now, but tomorrow I'm getting the first part of my new tattoo done, and you can't drink for 24 hours before a tat. That is making me want a drink even more! It sucks ( Read more... )

I just got an Amber Alert over my office fax. It's for an "endangered runaway" age 15 with 5 piercings, two tattoos, and an ALIAS! I hate to tell you, but if at age 15 your daughter meets those criteria (the tats and alias in particular) you probably failed pretty bad as a parent. And if she has an alias, I'd consider her less "endangered" and ( Read more... )

I took a swing at a car today. I was walking across the street to my parking ramp after work, and as happens every day, a driver decided not to care about anyone in the crosswalk and blast across. Now, I've been simmering since Saturday. At first I was just concerned about my Dad, he wasn't looking good while I helped him around the house and ( Read more... )
