Another day.....
a long day.....not that it was bad, just long. did lots of online newspaper reading this morning and caught up (to a point) on the day's news. nothing like the perspective gained from seeing what happens all across the country.
- oranges, avacadoes, strawberries and lettuce (among other produce) are threatened in cali due to cold weather. i read in one spot that helicopters were used to help blow some of the escaping heat back down to keep the fruit warm - now i'll be thinking of that as i have my morning glass of OJ.
- speaking of OJ, a chapter from his recently written and destroyed book, 'if i did it' was leaked. it spelled out in detail how OJ felt he would have committed the murders of ron and nicole IF he had done it - with a lengthy note ensuring he was innocent - lest we get the wrong idea.
- speaking of near death, in new mexico, two minneapolis hikers came upon a missing woman in the gila mountains. she'd been missing for five weeks total and three weeks had passed since search and rescue parties folded up shop. they gave her some noodles a good novel to read while they hiked the 20 miles back to town. i know i don't eat much, but she had been without food for upwards of 3 weeks - and still had the strength to hold on. as far as perspective - moral here is, there's always someone in a worse spot than you. amen for her and the fellas that saved her.
- once again, speaking of near death - saddam's half brother was sent to the gallows along with another long time business associate of the deceased iraqi dictator. they were hung, and saddam's brother became decapitated during the process. not to say that the united states has a long proud history in this form of capital punishment, but i'm pretty sure we'd get this one right. hard to believe a country that still chooses to execute in this manner can have so many troubles with performing it in a civil manner with proper results. then again, hard to justify or understand much of anything that occurs in that region of the world.
those are the stories that come to mind.....after the newspaper and a little work, the day slowed down yet even more. a few emails back and forth to one friend and text messages to another got some plans put together for the evening.
first was the usual dinner at happy's house. it was a feast with the usuals - night owl and manager were there of course, but so were blondie, average carpenter and the kids. potatoes, squash, pork roast, bread, biscuits, cranberries, carrots, onions, etc, yada, yada, the end. a pile of food, drink and dessert (not that this is a surprise for the usual dinner).
text messaging during dinner added to the later plans (so i thought).
dinner over, rolled towards my car and headed home in the fridgid january air. dreamed came over to drop some stuff and watched some idol for a little while - also got a house tour and mentioned my room is 'cute'. just what guys love to hear.
dreamed headed out shopping and i dialed up pitcher to try and meet up. no answer. really starting to make me wonder just what the deal is. message left.....no response. hmmm. (why do i think so much? maybe this situation is a good example. and as long as i'm asking questions that no one buy myself will read, consider, contemplate and/or answer, why is my life so hexed that they both have to attempt to meet up at the same time? i mean seriously, there are 7 days in a freaking week, but both have to pick tonight - DAMMIT) so what is her deal anyway? screwing with me? nervous about meeting? totally not who she is? who the heck knows. maybe someday i'll find out (although with my past life experiences - and kicks in the groin, i'm guessing i won't)
so after a little boston legal - i'm hitting this blog up for a while and then getting some sleep. tomorrow - off to MSP for a couple nights with dad, reminder to self, don't forget the ear plugs. on another level, i'm keeping myself up, hoping for a return call or text. hasn't happened yet. disappointment is running high in my life right now and this isn't helping.
financially - i'm good right now. mentally - i'm pretty good right now. emotionally - it's tough every single day. did today help? hard to say. i need to get my brain into a place where all this hard stuff flows away. i know of two sure fire ways to get there.....come on phone - ring....cause it's too late to have a drink. sad...nahh. tough....heck yea. nothing worth doing is easy, but how about this? people go to weddings because they want to belive in true love - does that mean it only exists for a few? stupid thoughts - please let me sleep well tonight. good night all.
