Scooters, Vacation, Fall....

.......are suggested labels for this post.

I can't make it relevant.

-------------------------------

I've been change-of-weather-sick for almost a week, but I think I knocked it out mostly last Saturday after taking some left over medicine from when I was hellasick last winter. I really only had enough for two days, but it's mostly been some boogers and slight throaty congestion since.

It's not really gotten to me, but it's weird to think about some of the privacy I've not had over the last few weeks. I mean, by 11pm every night I would be sitting in front of the computer....ummm looking at stuff and having some 'me' time, teehee. Not in a while though. Except for one day this week when I got up and was doing it by 9am b/c I knew I had all day to myself.

You're right......there are some things you shouldn't know.

So I Just.....

Tried to make coffee without water.....then after pouring the water forgot to put the pot back.

But just get off my case....I'm getting sick.....I just woke up about 9am....only after getting home at 2am.

But overall things went pretty smoothly last night. No one got too wet, I don't think. We got all 3 games done with very little work to do afterwards (only putting Homecoming ceremonies on the end). I still had to rush to Pontotoc by midnight to switch to the CoachesShow....then about 12.30 decided NOT to go to Guntown for just 2 tapes. So I followed Adam Hamilton home from Pontotoc b/c he called and said if he didn't make it home he was dead. So I figured I should.

But in just a little while, I'm hitching a ride with Andrew to Tupelo so I can see if he can swing on up to Guntown and all will be ok.

Oh, and Adam....you're lucky that I think the changing weather always makes me sick; otherwise I'd have to punch you in the face. But in your defense.....you were sick like two weeks ago and I'm just now getting sick.

So there.

Oh, and Tabatha Coffey is my new Facebook friend.

What A Difference......

...a night off makes. I got alot done at work and attempting to clean this filthy house.

---First of all.......Last night I had a back-to-school-dream. I was in a certain bitchy teacher's class.....and it was my turn to read/discuss the next mathish problem, but when I tried too.....the page was missing. I couldn't find it, and everyone was mad at me it felt like. You know...you can feel those eyes on you. Class was over and I was still looking all over the room to find the missing page before someone cleaned the room up. So, as I sit there this morning I did a quick search, and I don't know if this is accurate, but this is just the first thing I found:

"Curiously, back to school dreams do not reflect a desire to return to school, nor do they reflect emotional trauma from our school years. Instead, the dreams reflect challenges in our current life—usually in a career or social context—about whether or not we will “graduate to the next level.” What’s the connection? The pressure we feel today reminds us of how we used to feel back in high school or college before we took an exam: nervous, and wondering if we will “make the grade.”

Back to school dreams occur when we are stressed about completing a project at work, for example, or if we are switching careers, experiencing money problems, or are trying to “graduate” to a new position in our romantic lives....Back to school dreams let us know that we are feeling uncertain of our ability to “graduate to the next level” in our lives, but they also are reminders of the goals we value and accomplishments we seek to achieve. Your dreams reflect a desire to advance in your career, and also to demonstrate your success and independence to your parents. If you continue to pursue your own definition of success (and not your parents’) these dreams gradually will recede, like a long forgotten mid-term exam!"

WOW.....that could be dead-on. For reasons even too personal to blab about here.
----------

So yeah...I did get some stuff accomplished last night, and I guess it made me proud, but I do have to go to work in a little while to get everything ready for tonight. I hope it doesn't take more than a couple of hours...but the good thing is that I'm not rushed to leave by 4o'clock b/c I'm doing the game in Bruce. But I have to take care of EVERYONE ELSE's equipment (except for AdamG, he's supposed to get his own together) that don't know how/aren't able to get their stuff together.

Maybe I should give a class where I instruct all the sports people how to pre-finish out tapes....check over their equipment....and make sure they have everything. Oh, and I guess give them a key too.

Here's to movin' on, movin' on.


Oh, also....the people that were supposed to come to the station Saturday cancelled.....so looks like I'm gonna be ok. I still have to have another productive weekend like a few weeks ago where I can get some more progress done on the StudioCleanUp.

Maybe ONE Night Without Doing Something?

My favorite thing to do is nothing.

It just sucks how I have a buncha ads & more work-related stuff to put together....but when I sit down at the station to do them.....I have to get right back up and take care of something else.

Therefore....in order to keep programming going, I have to put off sitting down and working...then by the end of the workday I'm too tired to do editing....so I leave it for another day. Then there's more piled up.

This week: Monday, made the Pontotoc/Guntown rounds....Tuesday, Spanish class.....Wednesday, had to mow then worked from 9 till midnight....Thursday I don't have to do a game so maybe I can use that time to get a bit more progress done.

But I just want to get stuff done during the day so I can relax at night.

Too much to ask?

Don't Bother Me....

I can queue in a line all dang day like it's nobody's business.

I can sit around until something I want comes around.

But sometimes I just have no patience with people.

It's 2.20am and I must sleep, but I just thought I had better type this thought down while it was fresh.

Less Money Less Problems

So, I did get paid today........but, well, may still cut off my internet & phone next month. That'll save me $75ish a month anyway.

After I pay my electric bill I'll only have a hundred bucks in cash for bills....and with all the rain and what not I haven't been mowing.....and fall is coming anyway so I'll have to stop mowing regardless.

Just waiting for Murphy to come dropkick me.

ADDENDUM:

hahahaha....so before I go to bed I wanted to have another smoke and thought while I was sitting here I would turn on CoastToCoastAM, and as bumper music they were playing 'Money' by Pink Floyd. Funny timing.

Been watching the 4th season of The Office. Got one more disc left. Man I love Toby.

Gotta be at Aberdeen at 9.30 Wednesday.

Oh Danny Boy

I need Danny Tanner in my life.

I could just call him up and be like "What are you up to this weekend?", and if Michelle didn't have a dance recital he could come over and just clean.

Guitars, Cadillacs, Hillbilly Music

Anytime someone mentions "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind," "Science Of Sleep," "Be Kind Rewind," or even "Dave Chappelle's Block Party," my mind instantly makes me wonder on the majesty of Michel Gondry.

I just have to watch one of his music videos to make everything right with the world.

I guess I need to start that thing where you can send a text message to your blog, b/c yesterday I had several good ideas that I didn't write down and have now forgotten.

I mean, I won't do the whole thing as a text b/c I hate when people just sit there and text as opposed to actually listening or paying attention to what they are doing...but I could still just post basic ideas and expand later.

Just In General.....

.....Which do you do: Not follow directions or just don't listen at all?

Not aiming this in any direction, just sometimes it feels like I get tuned out completely. But it just seems like it's only me. In my viewpoint, anyway.

Oh, also: anyone seen 'Son Of Rambow' at their local Wal-Mart that's NOT in Tupelo? If I'm going there I can just as well get it at BestBuy I'm sure.
---------------------
Why do we only get to get a select few films from other countries on DVD here....or do other countries just not churn out as many movies? Yes, I'm talking to YOU, U.K.

SLT...........Everyday.

If I had to sum up my life for future archeologists who wanted to know all about me...or if I just wanted to invent a new phrase I could just say throughout my day, it would be "SLT."

"Shit Like That."

Imagine someone is doing a documentary on me, and we're walking along.....and they get right down to it and ask me "What is your life?" As I start to open my mouth and explain, I bump into a table....knocking over a glass vase holding flowers and it rolls off the table and it shatters into tiny pieces. On top of that...I had somewhere I had to be pretty soon. I would say "Shit Like That."

Or "SLT."

But, I suppose I'm not the only one.

Oh, and can I function without the internet at my house? In a week or two we may try to find out.

A Week And A Day....

I find it very very very frustrating when people say "we" but really mean "you."
------------------

Sorry bros & bras, thought I could keep it going daily.

It's so odd how I just haven't really had a moment to sit down and type....yet I've not really done that much.

It's really just a matter of being near the computer when I have a thought. Neither of those have happened.

Since last Wednesday:

Football has started. I totally wasn't prepared, but things went ok. We're totally lacking in equipment and I do believe that will bite me in the booty in another week or two. I've also finished a majority of the ID cards. They look great on the computer, but with my piece of crap printer everyone looks purple.

So last Friday was the first full football night.....and many things went smoothly for the most part. The most dreadful part was getting back to Bruce at 1.30ish and having to insert ads into the Bruce game, and not finishing until 3. So, after getting in bed at almost 4, I had to get up at 8 or 9....go to Slate Spring....mow the cemetery...bring the mower back to Bruce.....mow my yard......take the mower back.....then get back so me, Adam, and Andrew could watch 'Sling Blade.' Man oh man......that is such a great movie. Oh and I got drunk.

Therefore I slept till almost noon Sunday and lazed around. Watched 'Eagle vs. Shark' before....ummmm, doing something later that day. Oh yeah....played some more Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii until I went to Andrew & Natalie's house for some night-before-Labor Day-cookout food because Hurricane Gustav was to rear it's ugly (yet lame) head Monday.

I've started a conversational Spanish class with Natalie on Tuesdays. I hope I can get something out of it.

Not this past Tuesday though: Board Meeting Night. Possibly the only time all our city board meetings have lasted under an hour. Good for me.

By the way....I'm still kinda iffy on the digital television/converter box thing. I mean, it's really neat b/c the picture is really really good...it has on-screen info about the program--including what's playing and what's coming on next...BUT....you still have to have an antenna to pick up several channels.

My beef is that it's not really marketed in a manner that explains you still have to use rabbit ears or an outside antenna. For rural areas......I think it sucks. In my mind I had this grand idea that ALL YOU NEEDED was THE CONVERTER BOX. I guess I was assuming IT would pick up all the channels. NOOOOO.

I really want to make an ad that kind of blasts that idea. I guess it would work; because I see two benefits: 1. People that can't really pick up TV-7...but are close enough....could get an outside antenna just for the digital signal and discover that if they switch it off they'll get us. 2. It won't put the people that make antennas out of business.

On the other hand people will revolt and just buy a satellite.

So if you are only getting two or three channels and think the digital converter box will open up a new world....it won't really. But it is sorta cool.

I don't think I've gotten paid in a while. I'm not freaking out at this point..but I haven't paid my rent for September yet and I just really don't feel like transferring funds from savings to checking. Plus, there's stuff I want to buy. I've bought two pieces of clothing from eBay in the last week....but I would like to get more stuff, especially some electronic stuff.

I've got some things in mind.....the good thing is that some of it I can get reimbursed with cash from work b/c it is legitimately work-related. But I want some other cool stuff.

Adam just touched me. And he's dancing to 'the jam'. And he totally bogarted the valium and didn't share.

-------------
I watched "Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden" last night...the latest from Morgan Spurlock. Pretty good.

I think I'm going to bed and not setting an alarm. I think on Fridays I'm allowed to sleep in.
