I live on L.I. I went to every place I could think of, thrift stores, Wal-Mart, K-Mart... you get the picture, ya? Any ideas as ta where I may find one? I'm lost, here, folks... I feel so ashamed! Like I ain't a [i]real[/i] Browncoat 'till I got a duster of my very own t awear around school and show off! As it is, the random cursing in Mandarin and saying 'Shiny' and 'Gorramit' ain't workin' too well. Well... Look, a DISTRACTION!!!!!! -Danny

[b][u]Mom Update.[/u][/b] She’s a lot worse these past few days and seems to be going downhill rapidly. Mom’s very weak. She can’t walk or stand. She’s sleeping mostly and drops off without warning in the middle of a sentence (she did so on the phone with me the past 2 days). She’s managing to sip a little broth, but that’s about it. To give you an idea of how fast she’s going, two days ago my step dad and the hospice nurse were discussing the possibility of getting her a walker. Today, the nurse said there wasn’t any point. At this rate, I think she’s gonna be gone with in a few weeks and I’m not ready for it. She is, but I’m not and I’m selfish…I don’t want her to go. Period. [b][u]Car, etc.[/u][/b] Today’s been pretty much a suckfest since I got home. The apartment complex has gotten the idea (correctly and unfortunately) that my car, Spike, is not working as it’s had a flat tire and are threatening to have it towed. I fixed the tire when I got home, put in a new battery and washed the car (at 7pm at night) The car at least now has power, but still won’t actually start. *sigh* I’m just hoping it stays put for the moment. I still have nothing from the insurance company for the car that pifft two weeks ago. I called the agent today and nothing. I can’t find my printout from the dealership on just what needs to be fixed on Spike so I can call for estimates. I think I just going to go over there and lie and say I’m selling the car and need need another copy so I can disclose all pertinent info to any interested buyers. I’m also going to call my work investment rep tomorrow and get the ball rolling for a loan from my retirement account, even though I have no clue how much money I actually need, but I need to get it going now ‘cause those rentals ain’t cheap. To make life more fun, I’ve been having anxiety attacks, nervous eye twitches and my stomach is just rolling in acid, in spite of the Prilosec I’ve been taking faithfully, so I’m gonna have to sleep sitting up. Right now I should be in bed, but am too wired up about everything that I can’t relax to sleep. Add to that that I still have a sinus infection and can’t get to the doctor’s to get it taken care of. Can I have someone else’s life? I don’t like mine anymore.

I FINALLY get my the rest of my most annoying Document Processing course work turned in today. When I turn it in, the teacher is FINALLY there after having not shown up to check papers for the last two months, and she takes a look at my timed typing work, and says that I'd fail the exam I'm supposed to take to get the keyboarding portion of the new certificate I'm working on completed. This is after I spent the last two months typing until my fingers fell asleep. Which should have made me faster, but after two months of typing until as mentioned before, my fingers fall asleep, I'm actually SLOWER than I was typing two months ago! WHAT THE HELL?! I once again got into a shouting match with my mother, who actually thinks that all the crap I'm doing is worth it. As it turns out, the work I've been doing just makes me feel retarded! All for a STUPID Microsoft Certification, that will inevitably turn me into something I've been trying to avoid, a guy with a desk job, who types reports, memos, speadsheets, and other things that I REALLY don't want to do. Not that I have anything against people who do those things, it's just not for me. P.S. It took me about four minutes to type the bulk of this blog, "that seem right to you?"

I just found out Disney did a 10 minute cartoon about menstruation in the 1940s. I kid you not. [image]

Relationships issues I'd say. But then, there never really was a relationship in the first place. I'm trying to get past a fellow browncoat. For the time being I'm doing relativly good, seeing as all this is rather fresh. Can't say I like it much - the whole having to get past someone thing. Guess it just wouldn't work out. Still. My gut tells me there's something I haven't been told that. And that's something I can't stomach too well. But in the end only time will tell. Turns out though that this place is very good for distracting yourself. Good thing.

Hey folks! I don't know how many old fogies... er, old-timers are still around, but I thought I'd drop a quick note and let everyone know that I'm still flying - and that I miss you guys... ~Astriana~
