Mostly, just 3 impatient dudes who don't want to wait for AAA to arrive because they, eh-hem, "know how to fix this.."
Greaaaaat.
The good news is, they got the door unlocked? Is that really 'good' news? What level of 'good' is it when you realize you can break into a Toyota Tundra with the bare hands and brute pulling strength of 2 guys, and the careful jimmying with the Tundra's very own antenna. Go figure.
And this... Is what it looks like.

This is the scene right now for me. YAY, right? Darknite is all excited to get his new upgraded iPhone, so I'm here supporting him... And his childlike enthusiasm. ;) I'm pretty happy with my iPhone, and I'm anxious to see what quirks these new models come with. We'll see, I suppose. If they dont have what he wants we'll get one on Tuesday. The line is long and the supply is short...
(this is the first time I'm using this tool called "ClipMarks" so I'm testing it out right now)

I've been thinking about my Vox blog for a while now, but I've rarely been afforded the time to actually get on here and put something down in the way I wanted. Well, today... I write. No bones about it, today I have the time and today I'm doing it. <--- notice my "resolve", and, notice that I'm here... writing. (My writing lacks substance, I realize this, however, at least I have follow-through. That has to count for something, doesn't it?)
Ok, so "where am I" today... Where am I in terms of... personal space and my connection to the world. It's all very deep, and delicate so I'll spare you the inner philosophies I'm carrying and post this video instead. It's total "nostalgia" and I make no apologies for it. Boy bands, pop groups, whatever, I could care less. When I was a kid the NKOTB were "d'$hit" were they not? 1990 wasn't so long ago. I spent summers cruising the town with my friends, hanging out at the local ice cream shop, traveling with sports teams, and just... being a teen, y'know? You ever get those days where the smell of freshly rained-on tar brings you back to high school? A hot day when the air is hot and there's not a breeze in sight... brings me back deserted beaches and fishing a pond with a tiny hole in the boat. Heck, we didn't care, we could pump water back into the pond all day long so long we weren't stuck inside with nothing to do. Man... those were the days.
You "dig"?
I was thinking about this earlier, figured I'd blog it right now just because it's on my mind again. Do you ever think about when you were younger and how you used to look forward to your life as an adult and you'd say things like "When I'm older I'm gonna ...." Who knows what you said, "...be a broadway dancer" ... or something crazy like that. Unless, of course, you actually are a broadway dancer, then I apologize. But really, I mean... when you were a kid they told you you could be anything you wanted. Were they right?
Let loose
Hey everyone, sorry it's been so long since my last blog. I swear I've been thinking about this place, and all of you. I've made some random drive-by's to many of your pages and profiles, but I just didn't have much time to stop and chat. I've been kind of busy as of late, but it looks like I finally get somewhat of a little reprieve.
Ok, so... totally random thought. "Am I the only person of the face of the Earth who can...not....stand iTunes?" Am I? Because if I am, then... I just don't know what to say. I love this fricken' iPod. I love it, but this iTunes has got to go! If I could drop kick a piece of software this would be the one. Almost every other piece of software installed on my iMac makes me feel like a blessed-freakin'-GENIUS... except iTunes. If there were bumper stickers that said "I hate iTunes I wouldn't be sitting here writing this, but ... there aren't, and so here I am... I don't find it user-friendly, in the least. It's probably the main (sole) reason standing between me and total %100 immersion into the Apple cult. I long to bask in the soft glow of digital happiness, but alas, iTunes won't let me. Stupid iTunes.
So anyway, :) I don't know why, but as of this morning I've felt really antsy about something. I feel like I'm waiting for something but I can't put my finger on what, exactly, it is. I think something awesome might be headed my way. I'm gonna fall on my intuition for this one and just take it as it comes. I hope I didn't just "forget" something, and that's why I feel so anxious, lol, that would be awful! I'd have to admit a total "!doh!" moment, and tell me, does anyone really, truly enjoy "!doh!" moments at their own expense? Nnnnaw, didn't think so.
Ok, let's do a quick 10 minute blog entry starting right now.
Dinner last night: Vegetarian Cheeseburgers, fresh tomatoes and cukes, caramelized onions, corn on the cob.
Dinner tonight: Barbecued oversized Portobello mushroom cap "burgers" (the mushroom cap IS the burger!)
TV last night: A history channel presentation of "Angels, friend or foe" or something like that. Very interesting.
Book I'm reading: iPod & iTunes for Dummies (I'll know if you laughed, so don't)
Starbucks: Last had starbucks on Sunday and I've survived without going insane! Yayy!
Next "project" for me: Frank's Box... we shall see
Next "project" for "family": hooking up a device that fuels the truck with gas and water. (Oughta be interesting)
Animals: Teaguean's frisky, Mick and Rollie are blowing their coats & Beans now calls a shoebox her favorite place to sleep.
A psychic last said to me: "You hear things..."
The last thing I said to a psychic: "...I ignore them... on purpose..."
My new toy: L-Rod dowsing tools - big ones!
Political Statement of the day: go vegetarian and help save the planet.
Eco-fact of the day: a Humvee driving vegetarian has less negative impact on the planet than a Prius driving meat-eater.
Intuitive thought of the day: It'll wind up ok, don't worry 'bout it.
Interesting discovery of the day: Necromancy. ? Who knew ? (oh, wait, apparently... the Necromancers did!)
I tried and failed: My drum set. What... the ... HECK? I never knew a drum set came with left & right foot peddles!
Word of the day: "YO"
Ok, so... in closing I wanna say that the video link isn't the greatest, but I have to also say that it ain't half bad. (I never get to use the word "ain't" in real life. Why is that?) For a live performance? I thought the video turned out to be great, especially since it seems to have been captured by a cell phone camera.
The whole performance, right there, brought perspective to me... to stand in the presence of role model and protege, both appreciating each other for the gifts they offer, and both appreciating the art for the purity of the thing... y'know? It's not about the lead singer, the flashiest performer, or the ego trip that comes with anything else... it's about the music. Tom Petty has been making a name for himself, for me anyway, ever since I saw him in "The Postman". Rock on Tom... this one's for you.
Apparently my text didn't make it through to Vox. Wonderful. Anyway, this is what it looks like when I take a "quick trip" into town for some mundane task like hitting the store for a brush for RocketBoy. I wind up stranded in the parking lot with a juiced out battery, only to be told by the very helpful auto mechanics over yonder, that my battery is officially "dead". Hah... great! Well, at least I was in the parking lot of the Auto Mechanics!
Hey, it's Maine weather I'm dealing with here. I figured I'd better take a picture of the sunlight while it lasts.
I'm mobloggin', so I kinda flubbed up the last post, but here I am, making up for it! A late nite last night deserves a caffeine punch first thing in the morning, and a trip outdoors to welcome the day. And what a beautiful day it is starting out to be! Enjoy it local folks. Maine is very Spring-ish today. =:D
