Tonight was the blind date.  It was horrible.  He was horrible.  He talked only of himself, didn't ask me any questions about myself.  At first I thought it was because he was nervous but then after an hour and a half of listening to him talk about what he'd been doing all his life and all the women, some of whom I know, he's dated and why they ( Read more... )

Brew House was an interesting place to have dinner on Friday night.  I met the Psych. group at the new Brew House on 100.  The difference in this particular Brew House and the one close to me is that this one is more of a family place.  The one close to me is a meat market with some of the most expensive "bikes" I've ever seen.  I didn't realize ( Read more... )

I've wondered for days at the corruption within the system I work for.  Not a pretty sight.  Funny how many see their own little departments and don't look to see what is happening all around them.  There are several places I'd love to march into and clean up.  10 more years with this and I'm out, if I can last that long.  Dreams of going early, ( Read more... )

Slept after work, woke up, slept some more ( Read more... )

I interviewed for the Security Officer position and got it.  The second interview was surprising with the Assistant Superintendent telling me that he didn't usually do it but wanted to offer me the job right then and there.  I had all my certificates, my years of experience within the system and various letters of recommendation.  It didn't hurt ( Read more... )

Friday night Somay Center for Fleetwood Mac.  The best time I've had in a long time.  I screamed, I danced while thinking how nice that it was dark in there and no one could really SEE me dance.  We went across to The Palm afterwards for a whole lot of not much.  The concert was great, the music took me back and made me dig out all the Fleetwood ( Read more... )

Classes on weekends, permit to carry, armed security, baton, chemical spray.  Not where I thought I'd be at this time of life but you do what you've got to do in this world.  You try not to hurt anyone and you hope they aren't trying to hurt you.  Trusting is the hard part.  I don't, much.  I thought sure by now I'd be in a permanent relationship ( Read more... )

Movie: Watchmen - a good comic book, a good movie, several violent scenes, one a rape the other retribution but the violence is nothing compared to what I've seen in my life.  Unaffected mostly, covered my eyes for the retribution.  Daniel went with me.  He's good company ( Read more... )

Low clouds and rain,
Storms brewing fast
like thoughts of you
storming through my mind
making me want to duck for cover.

Pouring all over me,
looking like little diamonds,
sparkling in the light,
hiding the lines on the street,
keeping the shadows at arms length.

Careful of the shadows,
they hide the truth,
big fat liars.

Seemed like everywhere I walked this weekend there were sticks laying around.  Edwin Warner is so full a person would never lack for firewood.  Imagine the people of Africa or Afganistan if they saw all this wood laying around.  With most of their trees long gone to warm their homes, they'd be as happy as can be to see the seemingly never ending ( Read more... )
