Just an area for what I’m doing on an everyday basis.

WTF is this cracker talking about…

You may ask? I got my DJ Ditty today, 1 day after being shipped.

Anyway, for the first time ever I downloaded a song off the internet. No, I am not kidding. I have never once downloaded a song from the internet. The DJ Ditty gave us a 30 day free unlimited downloads from Napster so I found this lovely little piece and downloaded “The Game” sung by the gentleman band of Motorhead.

I believe this was written for Lemmy’s pal HHH from the WWE, and Motorhead has sung it live at 2 Wrestlemania’s and I hope this year will be the 3rd time since Motorhead is incredible live.

When I lived in Washington I lived with a friend who was the son of true die hard bikers, his parents were real “1%” as they are referred to, so he has a wild look on life, and he was a die hard Motorhead fan, I had never heard of them until I met him, and at first I could not stand them, but over time I learned to love them, and they opened up for Metallica and Guns n Roses in ’92 in Seattle since Faith No More had to leave the tour since it ran 2 months long after James got burned.

Motorhead rocked the Kingdom.

Any way, my first song was “The Game” and then “Hurt” by Jonny Cash and then some more Cash and then I just started searching, so far I have downloaded 1.02 gigs and when Pauline has time tomorrow I’m sure she will triple that in a matter of minutes.

So feel free to welcome me to the 21st century!

Weekend Off

I had the weekend off. We ended up having some beautiful weather, sunny, highs 82-84 but breezy. Pool was a crisp 75-80, but we did jump in for some swim time. Harold is braver then I and then he makes fun of me on how and how long it takes me to get in………lol

It is days like this that I’m happy as hell that we have laptops with wireless connection. Cuz we set ourselves up outside in the patio and did our work there. I don’t know if it is mental, but when I’m at my desk for too long I start to get nausea. Working outside didn’t do that to me, but maybe it is cuz of the fresh air. It was nice to be able to do that.

We found out that we will be getting the kids by the end of May. Dad needs to get surgery for his shoulder at the beginning of June and we were wanting to get the kids about then so mom & dad could have a kid free anniversary. So we’ll get them just a little bit earlier so dad doesn’t have to stress his recovery time. We’re thinking that we may have them for about 6 weeks or so. Waiting on mom to figure out the dates for us.

Aaaggg………….I don’t want to go to work tomorrow……….lol

one thing I could do without in life

ah cat puke… where would I be without you in my life?

Natural Born Killer

I guess no matter how hard I try not to kill, it just come naturally to me, so here is this journal I will confess my deeds to all of the world.

We have 2 garden hoses, one has been stored on a hose reel and the other has just been wrapped upon itself on the ground since we moved to FL. Well the one on the reel has been leaking since we moved down here and for whatever reason I decided to switch them out today.

So I unwrap the reel and hook up the other hose which has sat on the ground for 9 months at least, I put on the nozzle and turn the water on, it works perfectly then stops, so it dawns on me there must be leaves and crap in there so I undo the nozzle and a shit load of crap comes out including a gecko lizard. It was pretty small and just sat where it landed so I touch it to see if its alive and it takes off…..whew…

Then I notice the nozzle has a tail sticking out of it and see another larger gecko is in my nozzle. I try to get him to come out, but I know better then to pull on its tail, so I nock it against the hose a few times and then figure out it is more then likely dead… and its head is caught in the moving parts of the nozzle, I try to take the nozzle apart, but no dice so I need a new nozzle and I need to bury a lizard.

After I deal with that body I decide to reel in my hose and while doing so I move the stand it is on and see the other smaller gecko bolt from under it to my foot, which at the time I was off balance and had all my weight on the other foot and was trying to get my balance and sure enough…. As soon as it bolts I get my other foot down and yep…Killed it…

I lived in FL for 1 year and 9 months and in all that time I have never gotten close to touching a gecko until today and I kill 2 in 5 mins….

Parents lock up your children tonight; there is a murderous madman on the loose…

Cleaning & Broken Nails

I spent the day getting some cleaning done around the house. I scrubbed the hell out of the bathrooms, got the whole house vaccumed, mopped the floors and got the laundry caught up. Harold did some yard work, just to get away from the pc for a little while. It felt good to get some work done.

Harold took the truck in so now all the major stuff is done except for the front tires/alignment. I still need to get the fog light fixed, Harold thought we were going to wait on that, since we didn’t know how long it would take, so it didn’t get done. I’ll see about getting either the fog light or the tires done on my next week day off. I want all of it done and out of the way. So the only thing we need to worry about is the oil changes. =)

After all that I decided to take a break for some me time. I started to re-read Year 6 of Harry Potter. Some times it is good just to lose yourself, but I think I was also avoiding the taxes. =( I do have the weekend off so they will get done & I need to get a few letters/notes out. Until then I’ll just be working.

I cracked the hell out of my pinky nail last week. I glued it knowing that it was just the arylic. Well yesterday at work I jarred it and it hurt. Today when starting on the bathrooms……ouch….that is all she wrote. It is the 1st time I every went to the skin. It was hanging on by the smallest part of the nail, so I had to be very careful on removing it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to have an arylic on it for awhile. If I had been able to get through today without ripping it, I would’ve been fine on getting it fixed tomorrow. So now I’m going to wait to Friday to see how far my nail heals. If not I’ll just get the rest of them done for now.

Time to do some more reading. =)
