The Thing I Love About Country Singers Not that I'm the biggest country music fan... I'm more likely listening to trance/trip-hop/alternative/indie at any given moment. There's something really honest about certain country singers though. Guys like Randy Travis, George Jones, Alan Jackson. I love the way they'll just sing exactly what they identify with, unabashedly. Like Alan Jackson's (video) "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning." That guy has a lot of talent too - and I have a lot of respect for him. Alan Jackson isn't afraid to sing about what he really feels. God bless him. She Loves Me I was just reading an "Advanced Flirting" guide for girls, courtesy of a girl I know. Ha, ha ha... The little one at work loves me! I knew it. ;-) Here I Hear It's so fantastic hearing my Dodgers on the web. I love the internet. Kaz Ishii's pitching tonight! Yeah! {OK, what's up with Ishii this year, anyway??? At least Kevin Brown is looking like an ace again....} Handy As I Want To Be  After weeks of mostly rain, and mostly work six days a week for me, too, I'm finally off, and it's shirt-sleeve weather out too. I'm slowly catching up on sleep and none too energetic yet... However, I was curious to go out back. Yes, I have a backyard! "All this and a backyard too?" It seems kind of weird. "Oh, there *is* this back here too." I sort of forgot, or at least, I didn't think about it, for quite a while. My backyard here is fenced, with a couple big evergreens, and a shed. Other than the trees, the foilage is lacking. Just a wild berry vine or two, a handful of weeds, and the occasional sprout of grass. Lots of hard dirt too. Not real muddy dirt. Wet dirt though, lots of clay in it I think. Scattered around, oddly, sit a few big chunks of wood rounds. I keep wondering why they aren't over by the stacked wood, on the other side of the shed. They'll soon join the others. It's about time I cleared away all but the dirt and scattered plant life - tomorrow I think. What else is there? A tiny bit of trash items, some rocks, and the occasional chunk of concrete. Before I moved in a couple months back, I was thinking "I'll plant grass soon!" Now I'm thinking, "Yeah, I *might* plant some grass this year. Then again, I might wait until next spring." No hurry. I can do whatever I like! It might be fun to experience the unfinished backyard a while... :-) Besides I want to give the grass thing some more thought... Do I really want grass, or maybe something else back there? I started looking around at some of the exterior things I need to do, too.... "Hmm, there isn't as much wood exposed as I thought." The people before me didn't quite finish their remodel. So, undercoat, and some caulking is pretty high on my list of "must do's." I'm as handy as I want to be. What Have I Become? I just got a million codecs, now I can play all kinds of odd format videos! So, I downloaded a Johnny Cash, from his new album, "The Man Comes Around"... wow.. "What have I become? My sweetest friend....." That man has a lot of talent... and what a heart. Wednesday, March 26, 2003
Others  Now, if I just had more control over other people, the world would be a happier place. For me. (Perhaps for them as well.) A better place. Four Problems I just thought of four major problems in my life right now. Not so great, huh? The thing is, I've thought of how to solve every one of them. Every one of them... We're talking different areas of life, too. One I could solve quickly. The other three will take time. I can see the road ahead to doing each though, and really all could be done simultaneously - - *over tme*. Amazing. I'll spare you the details..... Sometimes a blog is like a diary - only with some of the details edited out. Tuesday, March 25, 2003
Always B.S. The romantic projections are almost always B.S. I can gaurantee I will *NOT* meet anyone next Monday...From next week's "romantic": "you're in for a surprise on Monday. You meet the ideal person, but he or she is completely different from what you thought was your type." What a lie!! It's just pure B.S. I don't know why I even read that junk. There's another site, which has little weather predictions for areas of your life, like "Career" and "Love Life". The love life ones are just plain wrong! It can have it raining all over the place, and yet on that day, I'll have a heartwarming day for love. Then another, like today for instance, they'll have a sunny love love life, and walla, it turns out lousy. Yeah, pure B.S.! Today's Advice I can't help it, I love reading these. Helps beat the boredom sometimes too. I just pick and choose when I think a horoscope looks meaningful or not. "You won't know which way is up when it comes to emotional matters." Yeah, true. Why do they say "up"? Maybe you don't know which way is down. "Self-deception will be your worst enemy." Sure. However, if you are deceiving yourself, how are you supposed to discover this? Woman Seeking Woman?! Boy, I'm glad I'm not a woman seeking a woman! ;-) I was experimenting, reducing the miles from where I live to see what I got... Only, besides reducing the miles, I must have changed my sex! I went from over a hundred matches to something like *four* matches. He heehe... I like the girls looking for boys better. :-) Besides, there are many times more, at least where I was looking. In a very liberal city, too. Interesting.... Personals An example of the sort of personal which sort of mystifies me: "Where are all the good guys?" Just sounds like a bad attitude, doesn't it? A sort of prejudice that there aren't any good guys. Therefore, even if *I* seem to be a good guy, that's probably an illusion. A personal which makes a lot of sense: "Like you, I haven�t yet met that "other person" in my regular, everyday routine, so here goes".... Now *that* makes a lot of sense. When I think of the "other persons" I meet in my everyday life, well, it makes sense to think about how else you can look, and be looked at. I've found that mentioning anyone who seems "potential" on this blog seems to be a death knell for whatever budding relationship there might have been. So I may need to keep you in the dark, for my own good. ;-) Monday, March 24, 2003
Dancing I could hardly walk today - an interesting feeling. Must have been the all the dancing around yesterday. That was fun. Sunday, March 23, 2003
 Love The View All I can say is "Thank You God!" You have to understand, I went from having *no* view, to having a view I love. Thank You God. Love "Love will always triumph over any difficult obstacles in your life. Remember that." Advice directed to me today. I love that. Good strong love can really help in relationships.... It makes you *want* to always come back to this person, and find a way to deal with any obstacles that come along. It's more than worth it. |
