What Next?!

Hello again.

So it's been a long while since I last graced the web with another rendition of "what is he thinking now". Or as I like to call it, a.d.d. So let's try diving in and try not to hit the rocks below.

Here we are in July, middle of the month, and we have had 11 days of rain so far! I am so sick of this already I am secretly wishing for a minor drought. Just enough that perhaps I can get outside and enjoy what little time we actually get without that white crap and the cold that comes with it. On the other hand, it's good for the garden and my grass hasn't looked this good and green in years! Thanks Ma Nature, even though you piss me off enough too.

Since we last met a lot has changed. I have met new faces, added new f/b friends, seen co-workers come and go fast enough that a revolving door seems to be needed at times, found a new favorite band (and actually can stay focused on that) (http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-GASLIGHT-ANTHEM/384408923304?ref=ts&v=wall), bought and learned (legally) how to ride a motorcycle, got the chance to drive a stock car again (on dirt this time), and so many other things I lose track (hence forth my a.d.d.).

I guess the first thing is the motorcycle. Thanks Big Eddie for helping me on this one. Thanks also to Shelby for kinda pushing me to get this done. Yeah, it's not a big deal to most, but hey, it's mine, it's paid for, and damnit it seems to be a lot of fun! As long as I don't die, been quite a few reports of such events lately. Please watch out for me and the rest of us bulls-eyes on the roads, thanks. I went with a friend, let's call him Shelby on a ride last Sunday. We covered 100 miles and to me, that was cool! Great to get some serious seat time and just see the sights. Again, the anger sets in regarding that whore Ma Nature, Thanks again! Oh well, I may not win, but it's the little victories that matter in this particular event. I digress.

As long as it's about speed and fun, how about that stock car. Well, it may be short lived, but, another special thanks to Ma "the weather whore" Nature for raining 5 of the 7 Fridays they have had a program scheduled! I apologize to the car owner Big M for putting it in the wash machine last time and coming out with some serious repair action. Don't know know it is going to be since again, RAIN every Friday since the said wash machine incident. There really isn't a feeling like looping it and seeing nothing but other cars coming straight for you! Now I know how Ricky Bobby and Tom Cruise (and others) must have felt :-). Woo Hoo. On a side note, it really is a lot of fun and I hope to get to do it again yet this summer.

Queen and I watched Shutter Island last evening. Eh, it was ok. Hard to follow along sometimes, kept you thinking though so that was neat. I won't say anymore for those of you who have not had the "pleasure" yet.

Had a few sad notes in the last few months. Don't really wanna talk about those but i hope those who have left are watching us and laughing right along.

Well, that's about it for now, time to get off this thing and do something productive. Yeah right. Talk to you all again soon (i hope).

Oh yeah, thanks to Mrs. Jack for reminding me to get this done. Even though I'm sure she didn't mean it that way.

Love and Peace!
