Damn You Oprah Winfrey...Damn You

I saw a cockroach the size of Oprah Winfrey in my bedroom last night before going to bed....needless to say I slept like crap last night.  Damn you Oprah Winfrey....damn you.

These are so cool.

Good Morning World

I have been without the Internet for about a week, and it may not sound like very long, trust me it was an eternity.  I mean it wasn't just that I missed my blog, but it's one of those things in my life I never realized how much I depended on.  No way to check my email, my blog...ohhhh I so missed my blog, no way to Google the dumb facts I'm always curious about.  I was never so happy in my life when the Time-Warner Cable Guy showed up at my door yesterday....well that's not true...I was more happy when I kissed Laura Bowman for the first time back in high school, but still I was very happy when he showed up.

Sincerely Yours

Good Morning Planet Earth,

I am two days from my move to Texas.  I'm becoming okay with the move, knowing it's for the best, but can't help but wish things had turned out differently here in Kentucky.  This outcome isn't what I had envisioned, not what I had hoped for.  People keep telling me that things happen for a reason.... funny, I have found that people say that when they feel bad something happened and don't know what else to say. 

Take Care, and keep in touch

Get The Beer Tree Ready, I Plan On Doing Some Harvesting

Moving!!! Ugggghhhh....Who in God's name invented moving???  Probably someone who has never had to do it I bet.  I have toyed with the idea of just grabbing my laptop and hitting the road to Texas....and screw the rest.  Well grabbing my laptop and television, and just taking off....mmmmm my laptop, television, and Packer stuff...yeah BAM, I'm outta here......uhhhhhhhh well my laptop, television, Packer stuff, and DVD player, SHAZAM GONE!!  Hold on hold on....my laptop, television, Packer stuff, DVD player, and printer....KAPOW!! TEXEEEEEUS HERE I COME!!!  Whoa now, make that my laptop, television, Packer stuff, DVD player, printer, and Turkish carpets....TEXAPALOOZA HERE I COME!!!!! What did you say??? My griddle??? ohhhh yeah, I wuvs my griddle....so my laptop, television, Packer stuff, DVD player, printer, Turkish carpets, and griddle...PUT THEM LONGHORNS ON THE GRILL IMA COMIN!!! 

Oh hell, I'd better get to packin......

Something To Squee About

I Have Been Schooled

I have added a new word to my vocabulary...*Squee* is now part of my daily repertoire of words.

YIPPPEEEEEEEE

Well, I've packed my wine glasses....so looks like it's back to swilling my wine straight from the bottle.

I Am Such A Trekkie...And Proud Of It

*Squint*

I did a good job with my coffee this morning.  I have to admit that I don't consider my coffee the best.  I've tried different ratios with the water to coffee mix, but just haven't found the secret formula.  Today for some reason I seem to have found the right grain amount....or something, because I liiiiiiiike it.

Taking Applications

Come on...I know you all want to come here.  You know all of you out there in those *sub-par* countries want to come here....suuuuure you do. 

Hmmmm Good

I love my morning coffee. Thats all for now, I love my morning coffee. I'll be back after I have my morning coffee. Did I say how much I love my morning coffee yet??

Better Than A Horseshoe

I used to live in New Mexico, and loved it.  People there paint their doors blue because they feel it brings good luck.  I want to retire in Albuquerque, NM.

To Go Please...

As the sun peeks over the horizon, it bids me a fond good morning.  As it kisses my skin with it's warmth, I can't help but feel the emptiness within me....the knot in the pit of my stomach....I need something more, something that will fill my soul.  Then it hits me...the knowledge of what I have been missing all of these tear filled weeks.  What I have been missing is the love of a jelly filled Krispy Kreme doughnut.  

That's A Wrap...

Thank you for all for the movie suggestions.  Some I haven't seen and will definitely check them out.  I belong to Netflix, and my Queue is getting pretty thin.  I've listed the movie suggestions you all gave me.

Baraca

Reservoir Dogs (Great movie...very violent though)
Inglorious Basterds

Backspace

I have sat staring at this page sooooo often...just staring.  I know exactly what I want to put down, exactly what I want to type.  I will type a few sentences....and the words will just effortless flow from my mind to my fingertips.  Then, I'll stop....re-read the sentences I have written so far...and hit the backspace key until they are all gone.  What I want to put down are my feelings....my thoughts, and although there have been times when I've been able to put some down, post them and leave them behind on my blog.....there are other thoughts that I just cannot seem to put down....am unable to allow out of the privacy of my mind...and my heart.  I want to put them down on here...really I do, but just can't do it. I go through this ritual most everyday....open up a blank page....start to type...stop, then delete.  I will keep attempting to get these thoughts out....perhaps tomorrow, yes maybe tomorrow.

Ewwwww They're Kissing....

I know it's hard to have just one favorite movie...but could whoever might read this tell me a few of their favorites???   I'm always looking for  a good movie.  Here are a few of mine, in no particular order.

I Have Concerns

Dear Planet Earth,

     You are so round.  No really, you are so friggen round, and I sure wish I knew how this whole gravity thing works, because sometimes when I'm drinking I wonder why we all don't just fall off???  I admit I worry sometimes when our part of the world is on the bottom that gravity will give out and off I go.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely yours
Me

Excuse me, but is there a McDonalds in Zion???

I'm watching the Matrix, and if it were me...I'd say put the plug back in.

"Well hello there, I'm from...."

I have always wanted to be from somewhere exotic.  I think it would be soooo cool to live in Sydney, Australia....or London, England.  To be able to tell people I live in Amsterdam, or Vienna...would be pretty neat. 

Right now I live in a pretty nice small town, but there is absolutely nothing exotic about it.  It's one of those towns that tries to sell itself as a "destination"...a town that wants you to think it's worthy of getting off the interstate to visit, but it's really not. I like the town...Hollywood even made a movie using my town as the backdrop...with Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom...They  used the our name as the title, but it was a pretty lousy movie, such is life...no one gets off the interstate to check it out.

Excuse Me, Are You Using That Pennie?

I've purposely led a pretty boring existence lately. Now don't get me wrong, I would never call my life exciting, but in an effort to save some money, I've intentionally laid low as of late.  I'll be honest, and tell you that laying low hasn't helped my shitty summer get any better, but with my world hopefully looking up, this summer will have been worth it.  If it wasn't for beer and Ramen I'm not sure how I would be making it.

Who Are You Again?

Sometimes, when I'm remembering something from years ago, I seem to find myself remembering in the third person.  I mean, remembering it like I wasn't the one in the memory....like it's someone else.  I don't know which year in my past is the line....the point where my memory became only facts, as opposed to an emotion.  Sometimes I attribute this to the fact I've had so many phases to my life...so many things have happened, so many people have come into my life...so many people have left my life.  It's just that sometimes when I look back, it just doesn't seem like it's me in my memories ya know???

HELP ME!!!!!

They say the first step in admitting you have a problem is to actually admit there is a problem.  So okay here goes....."Hi my name is Unobserved, and I need to do laundry".  Whew that did feel good, like removing a load off of my shoulders....well time to watch some T.V.

Discard Pile

Okay I can't be with you, I get that....we have spent days hashing all of that out.  What I need to know is that I won't just keep sinking to the bottom of your heart, and won't ultimately find myself in the discard pile alongside the Cabbage Patch Doll, and your My Pretty Pony collection.  I would love to find a small little niche about halfway down your heart...right next to the Dirty Dancing movie.  I can live with spending my days there.

Oklahoma City

I love to travel, and if I were financially able would do a lot more.  I would love to travel the world....to see other countries.  I would also love to just throw a bag in my car and hit the road,  traveling around the United States.  I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to do a lot of traveling so far in my life...I've seen Mount Rushmore....the Grand Canyon....have driven on the famous Route 66....visited the Alamo...climbed the stairs of the Statue of Liberty.....I've been to the top of the World Trade Center.

One site I was very lucky to visit was the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial.  The tragedy of the bombing is enough to bring one's emotions to the surface, knowing there had been a daycare located in the building made me sad, but the memorial is so somber...so well done that when you enter the grounds you automatically begin to whisper..one of those places ya know????

There are many aspects of the memorial, but a few really touched me, such as the gates at either end of the grounds.  Two gates....on the top of the entrance gate only says "9:01"....when the bomb went off....and the gate located at the other end of the site only says "9:03", the length explosion, the 3 minutes that changed so many lives forever.  There are chairs set up...one dedicated to each of the people killed in the explosion, but as you walk among them, you notice there are smaller chairs, each one dedicated to a child from the daycare. 

I know Oklahoma City isn't exactly a destination city, but if you are ever in the area, please plan to visit the memorial, it is something that will forever stay with you. I have only mentioned a small part of the memorial....there is a museum, and several other areas to visit.

Roots

I'm not from anywhere. No seriously, I'm not.......I do consider myself from Washington D.C., but that's mostly because that's where I graduated high school.  My dad was in the military, so we were always moving....Louisiana, New York City, Washington State, Okinawa, Texas, Kansas and Virginia.  We literally never spent more than 2 years in any one place.  I myself joined the military, and spent every few years moving. 

Please don't get me wrong, I do feel lucky to have lived in so many places....and was able to see so many wonderful things. It's just that over the years I have come to envy those people who are from somewhere....grew up, married, and raising their children in the same place. 

People Are Cool Too

I love to people watch.  I really like when I can sit somewhere and just observe people (did you like how I fit "observe" in there???). I like to imagine what their lives must be like...what they might do for a living...their family etc.  If you look at the details of a person you really can tell a whole lot...what they're wearing...carrying, reading.

I have always enjoyed the opportunity people watching at airports...because you get to see people from different places.  The kids of divorced parents going to the "other parent's" for summer vacation...the family coming back from Disney (it's always the mickey ears that gives this away).  The college kids coming home from school.  The business people with their laptops..and cellphones, always at work..always networking..making deals.

I like to watch the travelers getting off the plane walking down the concourse....and matching them up with the people waiting to greet them.  You can always tell when they spot their traveler coming down the hallway...the excitement just overflows as they get closer...and erupting right in the middle of exit making the other travelers adjust course around them.

I have always just loved to sit and watch others....ohhh wait wait wait...I have always loved to just sit and OBSERVE others...there that's better.

I really need to start getting my things together...and start packing.  Thank goodness I don't have that much stuff, so once I get started hopefully won't take that much time.  I need to take look at these CDs...I mean I haven't listened to a CD in forever, but I keep lugging them around.

I am feeling better about my decision to move. Once I was able to put my ego aside, and put the interests of my children first, I was able to start getting excited about being closer to them.  Now back to these CDs....

Late To The Party

How come the women I seem to find myself interested in are always taken already?  I sometimes find myself being jealous of other men who seemed to have found the perfect woman....or more accurately, my perfect woman.  Its like they got there before me ya know?   Makes me wonder if perhaps I should have dragged myself out of bed earlier that day, or not had that second cup of coffee.  I mean was it that day a few years ago when I was home sick with the flu...is that when I missed out????

Do you ever think you're always going to come in second? That you seem to always get to the movie after missing the first 10 minutes?  When the first 100 people get a free t-shirt, you're always number 101? Well, I suppose you know what I'm talking about......


I'm really not this depressing of a person in the real world, I swear.

A Few Things I Think

• There should only be two seasons, Fall and Spring.
• The best sports movies are about baseball.
• Romance doesn't always need to involve flowers.
• Foreplay is underrated.
• Except for ice skating and roller derby, nobody cares about women's sports.
• Screw Kindle, give me a real book.
• I don't like local commercials, they're stupid.
• Kissing..awwwwww...kissing...
• The more people say they are individualists the more I think they aren't.
• Yes, there is such a thing as a stupid question.

I have a confession to make...for awhile now I have wanted to get into a purely spontaneous conversation where I can use the word "Hoobastank" at least twice.

Please Be On The Lookout....

I have been wanting to get a new tattoo.  I want a '40s pinup girl.....just haven't seen one I've liked yet.  If anyone sees one they like can you pass it along??? 

Somehow This Don't Feel Like Home Anymore......

I still think it's all pretty fucked up....what happened I mean, but I need to pick myself up...dust myself off and take that first step in some direction, any direction.  It might be the wrong direction, but I feel the only time you're supposed to stay put is when you're lost in the woods.

I've spent a week pretty much closed up in my house...no literally I have.  I thought over a lot of things, trust me when I say "a lot of things".  I need to move....I mean come on, what's here??? Nothing...absolutely nothing.  I think you know where I need to move, don't you? I suppose that is the hardest part of this whole thing....to go back there, but I have missed my boys so much. For them I have to put all of my other feelings aside, and go back there...because that is what a parent does for their children.

You asked me the other day if you had broken my heart.  I want you to know I had to think about that, even put down a few answers and deleted them.  Then I put the only answer that I could put......

And this ain't no place for the weary kind

And this ain't no place to lose your mind

And this ain't no place to fall behind

Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try

Pre-Occupied

I have had bloggers block as of late.  I have come to my page everyday intent on putting something...anything down, but just can't think of what????  It's not that I don't have anything to say, because actually I do, but just not ready to put it down yet.  I think that is why I have been unable to post anything this past week, because my mind has been preoccupied with a decision, and haven't really thought about anything else.


Well "Sunday Morning" is getting ready to start, so I'd better be going.

Let's Be Straight Here.....

Man Crush:

"When a straight man has a "crush" on another man, not sexual but kind of idolizing him."
                                                          
                                                                                                        Urban Dictionary

My Man Crushes:

Derek Jeter
Mark Wahlberg (not during the Marky Mark period, but currently)
John Mayer (Right to 3rd place with a bullet)
Will Smith (although I do know that most bi-racial man crushes do not work out)
Brad Pitt (not the Brad who looks like a vagrant, but the one from the Oceans movies, that one)
Aaron Rodgers
Nicholas Cage (but he is falling a bit)

I Can't Sing Either

I wish I were more musical.  I mean don't get me wrong I love music...love it. Music has helped to fill a major hole as of late. I wish I could play either the piano or guitar....probably the guitar because my house isn't big enough for a piano.  I would love to just be able pick it up when I felt the need ya know???

I also wish I had the ability write music...to be able to take feelings, and thoughts and turn them into musical notes.  I can only imagine how therapeutic that must be. How having that gift would be so helpful right now.....Well perhaps in my next life :)

I'll let it go to voicemail

I hate the nighttime....

Back In The Day

Back in the day I used to perform this song to packed arenas. Oh you laugh, but I did, and would get standing ovations too. Okay Okay, maybe it was actually in my bedroom, but if someone can play the *air piano* better than me, I'd sure like to meet them. If my life had a playlist...this song would be on it..for sure.

I promised myself not to write anything sad on here for awhile.  I suppose being a guy, I worry about perception ya know? I worry that if I show to much sadness....to much depression, than that will reflect on me as a man. I worry that it will cause me to go from someone you desire, to someone you must continually check on, and someone who becomes a burden.  Although nothing can ever come of it, I want to remain someone you desire....so I don't think I'm going to post anything sad on here for awhile.  

You're so happy...I can tell.  Thank you for that....thank you so much :)

**...that url isn't working. PLEASE  find one that works...I wanna see it so friggen bad...**



I'm reserving this spot for a picture...and not any picture mind you.  I'm saving this spot for a picture of a monkey riding a unicycle.  I'm going to find one now...will be back, so please save this spot for me okay???

FREAK!!!!

Years ago I read that people's little toes were a useless appendage, and over time will begin to shrink, eventually being gone altogether.  I've been measuring mine...and they  haven't shrunk at all.  I don't want to be the only person on Earth with 10 toes...then I'd be freak.

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Are the days getting longer?  Seriously, I mean yesterday seemed like an eternity didn't it? Not a good long either....I'm thinking this is going to one long week. Yep, one long week.

$8.75?  Is that for just one, or the pair??

YAZ

Holy Cow...You're good

I liked them all, but really liked "Anything Back" and "Breaking Down"......Really good.

I Have An Annoucement To Make

Tonight...well technically last night...I was *Re-Tweeted* for the first time by someone I did not actually know. 

As a side note, the word *hilarious* was used in conjunction with the *Re-Tweet*....I repeat, the word *hilarious* was used in conjunction with the *Re-Tweet*.



We will now return you to your regular programming...

Anti-Depressant or Pro-Depressant: You Tell Me

Let me get this straight about "possible" side affects:

• Headache
• Extreme tiredness
• Suicidal thoughts ANNNNND Suicide attempts
• Ejaculation problems

Hell my ejaculation technique was all I had going for me.....besides when they say "problems", do they mean it's going to shoot out sideways now??

The light came on when I found myself taking a shower, and had brought a beer with me.  Why in the hell hadn't I thought of this before????

Oh no...two of my fish just swam on top of one another and stopped....I hope they don't have babies. I financially can't support any more virtual fish at this time.

I have always thought that even numbers are good...and that odd numbers are bad. Is that considered profiling???

When I go to my pantry to get something to eat...I think that if I eat it then I'll just have to go to the store to buy more....so I don't eat it.  That's not weird is it??

I have an issue that has been bothering me for awhile now, well one besides women not posting pictures of themselves on eHarmony.  I mean let me get this straight....I pay a lot of money for cable TV so that I can watch shows where they do nothing but try to sell me things???

I'm exploring this whole Feng Shui thing. I've angled all of the furniture in my living room to allow for the positive flow of energy.  As soon as I figure out how to reach my door, I'm going to buy some milk.

I think my next romantic relationship will be more animated....nooo I mean it. Something about cartoon women make me think they're more stable than women...who aren't cartoons.

I'm  thinking about moving to a new zip code. One with only even numbers in it.....I'd want it to have a 4.
