from the back of the cosmic junk drawer

And this, my fellow travelers through time, space, and reality shows, is why my life is exciting. And around here, you take exciting where you can get it. I am self employed. I do construction, maintenance, and work part time as a fill in announcer at a radio station and board operator for high school sports. Last week work was at a stand still just kind of waiting for a few jobs to start. It took me a whole week to realize I was kind of on vacation except for a few games to cover. So I took off for the cities for a nice visit with friends and family on Sunday. Monday rolls around and I am suddenly swamped with work at the radio station and maintenance work at the local hotel. Life sure is funny! Just when you think things are slowing down to a crawl, Your whole week fills up with opportunity to burnout the week like it was a day! in fact here is a picture of me hard at work at the last demo, i mean remodel that I did. I am the guy holding the ladder.

Check out the look on the little kid with the toy chainsaw"s face! He's thinking "thats right, I'm bad. Look what I just did!" And of course, like I said, I am hard at work. Jacking my jaw! I think the coffee cup is hidden in my other hand! Anyway, Sorry bout the shape of the picture. Its been floating around the old cosmic junk drawer since Christmas. Well, hope to continue this blogging streak I am in. Later!

So why exactly do I blog? or dont? I had this conversation with some friends and I still am a bit hazy on the answer. After a bit of searching my soul and a bit o' the grape, I realized that I might have something to say that someone else might find the least bit interesting. So I might have to start writing about things that really matter. Like senses of humor. And one of those friends said I have a good sense of humor but maybe funny to only those who know me. Sad but true. Its amazing how much a sense of humor, or lack of, can bring people together. Which brings me to the latest thing happening in my life. I recently received an email from an ex girlfriend. We are currently hanging out once in a while, texting everyday, and have exchanged Valentines Day cards. When I first met her I was immediately attracted to her! And after the short first meeting, I went home with my cheeks hurting from laughing so much! And things went great for a while, until she came to her senses! And because of her job and what not, couldnt see herself living out here in the sticks. Understandable. Its not for everyone. And I live about 3 hours from her. I hooked up with her again briefly 2 years later, and am not sure exactly why we lost touch, and that brings us to the present. The real killer is I havent met anyone since with her sharp witted, well read, intense personality. So when you date after meeting someone like this it makes it hard to find someone of that calibre once you have experienced it. And to top it all of, we are even on the same page spiritually and religiously! But the big thing is we play off each other beautifully! I can throw something out there and she will throw it right back, covered in wit! Thats hard to top! Sure, she's attractive, and that doesnt hurt, but its just amazing how we both agreed recently that when it comes to dating, we both realized its hard to find in that other person what we experienced with each other. Wow! If it doesnt work this time, I am so screwed!!!! Anyway, ex's withstanding, I think its amazing how much a joke or sense of humor, or just making someone laugh or smile, can make an instant connection! Sure, giving money or a really great piece of cake, cup of coffee, or a drink can bring people together easily also, but nothing beats making someone laugh! So hey, get out there, make someone smile or laugh! And if they dont laugh, well, laugh at them after they leave, and get on with your day! Just kidding! See, only some of you found that funny!
