Blog EntryShifting GearsJul 9, '07 12:15 AM
for everyone
Somebody explain to me why 'fun' has to be so damn complicated. I with my aging buttocks and my ugly shorts commenced to ride bikes with the spawn last night only to witness a meltdown that would have made Eddie Murphy's 80's LP's received the Disney Award for clean language in comparison. It seems the child cannot fathom the intricacies of a 21 speed Mongoose mountain bike. As he extracted himself from spinning tires emitting a steady volley of curses and growls, after the third YouTube worthy spill, he stomped and kicked the offensive machine and ended his rant by pummeling the wreckage with his helmet. Hobbling home like a prepubescent Hunchback the child continued to toss insults and expletives over his shoulder while the older child attempted to push two Mongooses, (mongeese?) through the weeds. As I squashed my own flat back tire between my thumb and forefinger I smiled inwardly knowing that at least I don't have to consider the complexities of gear shifting...you see my bike like me is not geared...run only by mofo power - the faster you peddle the faster you go. When you stop peddling....you stop. Very simple. It suits me. But these spawn need bells and whistles and buttons in excess until their wriggling brains cannot fathom the display - and then comes the inevitable set of hands tossed skyward in frustration.
After the husband calmly realigned all gadgets and levers, patiently explaining that certain wires must connect with certain other wires - he took the POS thing that was possessed by Satan Himself up and down the street until the small spawn was placated and hopeful. I on the other hand still have a flat tire...
And so it spins this life of mine. At least I managed to update Java so Runescape would load for the little fruit of my HOH's hairy loins. (its only taken me 3 months to figure that issue out) I sit at my desk on this mundane Monday - staring at the calendar and counting the days till vacation...and trying to put my dreams in some semblance of order again. I've been sidetracked by the complexities lately - spinning crazily down the path while my gears won't shift and connections aren't made. It will take more than a pummel with a helmet to bring things back in line. I will have to fight for those dreams. And here I am.
Lock and Load, baby. Lock and load. The Banshee is back...its only a matter of time. peace.

Blog EntrySo Like...WHAT!Jan 17, '07 12:51 AM
for everyone

Ya' know the Tamster has had her fair share of so called hits to the groin and even tho' Peggy Hill will tell you that doesn't work on girls - any time the crowd pops you upside your pride there is a moment of deflation....and pain. Been there, got the TShirt, the key chain picture and the dang bumper sticker - crooked across the hood of my ride.

So I am at an impasse - sappy creature that I am. Sitting here with a hole in my nylons (the feline's goin' down.) and my hair in a frizz - I contemplate my validity and my weird rise to 'interesting' over the past year...little sparks of understanding appearing on my vapid horizon...so this is why some walk away? And I - while I would never leave altho' I could if I wanted to - just like I could give up cheese and bacon and Guinness for life (I'd rather go to a party nekked and painted with yellow polka dots.) But what do I do with my so called interesting self - suddenly faced with more 'invitations' than room on her page? How did that happen to the girl who started here a year ago with the same silly bouquet of cactus pads and pansies penned on the page daily and only an occasional wild rose....(give me a moment to scratch and ponder my validity please) I had four or five friends - three of whom were in the same family and all I of whom I knew face to face. (an exhortation for those of you just stepping into the wild and wonderful blogcircus...)

When I was a little girl I had a rare Birthday party and was allowed to invite 3 friends for a sleepover. Problem was I had three friends and a side kick - and two of the girls were virtually joined at the hip....always a two for one when playing tag and double dutch....I was faced with the unfortunate decision of who to 'not invite' and I chose my best friend - thinking she would understand. No happy endings there - six months later she moved and I've never heard from her again....but the regret remains - and the lesson was painful. In my book of agonies - rejecting is more damaging than rejection....

so I have a choice to make. I can ride it out until I am no longer interesting and the invites subside - and the blogfriends quietly bow out over time until only the really interested remain...but that would require putting people on ignore - and that's not how I roll unless you are 10 and harrassing me with food request whilst I attempt to excrete plot and dialogue. I could simply walk away....(not gonna happen in this lifetime.) or I could post a poll.

I know its my blog and I can do what I want as long as it doesn't involve porn or foul language but its no fun blogging alone. So I post a poll for your displeasure.

I also welcome Sio, Paul, Sunrise, and e.c. I'm just a sappy girl....I hope that blesses you.
