Lack of sleep can do the strangest things. I was trying to mow (is that how you spell it - it looks weird) my lawn. Just as I was about to finish my mower decided to stop working. And wouldn't start back up. I have found that the best thing to do when large machines stop working is to give them a rest. So I sat on the porch for a second - and then, to my suprise....my great grandmother drove by in a white mini van with deleware plates. I paused and thought to myself....hmmmm. She's been dead since about 1978 - what's she doing in Deleware. Then the mower worked. It's all connected somehow. This is Partick's Great, great, great, great grandfather. His name was Patrick too. Go figure - an Irish guy named Patrick.  | ||

I found this old polaroid camera in my grandparent's attic. (they have those really dangerous spaces where you pull the stairs down from the ceiling and the stairs fold right out). There was some film left in the camera - so I had my Grandma take this picture of me and me wife:  B&W polaroid is hard to find. We look pretty good for two people who need a bit a sleep. As you can see I am having problems with my lawn. | ||

My sister Barbara has a karmic link to the number 7. She is the 7th daughter in a family of 11. She has 7 sisters. She is the 7th sister. Her birthday is Oct. 7 (October is the 10th month, she has 10 siblings). Oh yeah, Libra is the 7th sign of the Zodiac (I knew there was one more!). She's 1 with 7, seriously. Isn't that the luckiest number? And Patrick is 7 letters... | ||

This honestly happened when I was 13. I was in the clubhouse of the "country club" where I played golf as a kid in Greensboro Vt at on Jul 7th 1977 at 8:17 pm it was 77 degrees. We figured it out then and there that it was.. 7/7/77 7:77pm and 77 degrees. | ||

I dabble w/ ocd - so if I were to talk about numbers and such I would be here for 365 days. Hold on I have to tap the computer 365 times...... I have two theories that related to numbers in a person's life: a) The average gambler, when they check out at the end of their life on this casino - will come out even. Comps are what you end up walking away with. b) If you take the amount of words you speak at the end of your life and add the number of times you said "and" , divide that by the times you said "love" then subtract the amout of time you have said "sorry" - the number will three times the amout of miles you have walked. True. I am not quite if sure if I tapped the computer 365 times. I should do it again. | ||

Add the ands or subtract? The numbers look much better when you subtract. And and is not as bad a word as "but yeah" are. Double-down negatives for that. And what about people with the "like?" syndrome? You multiply "like" by 1,000 and add it! Then double the total score. Sound fair? | ||

then you do the hokey pokey and you turn your self around. THAT'S what it's ALL about. | ||

Two weeks away from work can do something to a person. Make a person realize it's easy to stay home. Make a person think what a person like Paris Hilton gets stressed out about. Yeah. I really don't want to go back. But time marches on. And on. And it's Sunday. A Sunday has a strange feel to it. It's time off - but time on lurks around the corner.....  | ||

 Walking outside early this morning I could smell Autumn. I love that smell! It's right up there with the smell of cool summer rain on a hot sidewalk for me. Labor Day! (or Labour Day to some). From the Department of Labor (www.dol.gov): Labor Day: How it Came About; What it Means "Labor Day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country," said Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor. "All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day...is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation." Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. I'll buy that. Things are well here. Baby is doing well. I forgot how small they are at first. It gives me faith. My sleeping patern has been thrown off big time. I have been having some really strange and vivid dreams. Like the one last night about a new James Bond film that I was in. I was talking to a translucent man that was about to turn 100% invisable and was looking for James Bond to help him. I didn't know where James was at that moment. Me and this guy had a drink together - I remember his glass floating almost by it self. Time for breakfast.  | ||
| monster Supporter Username: Monster Post Number: 1244 Registered: 7-2002 |
When he drank, did the liquid turn translucent too, or could you watch it go down and sit in mid air, in his stomach? | ||
| buzzsaw Citizen Username: Buzzsaw Post Number: 2574 Registered: 5-2001 |
That is a good question. I don't remember seeing any liquid. Now that I think of it, this guy did not want to turn invisible . It was like he was going to be trapped in an other dimension. He was racing against time. The invisibility was kinda like that magic shell topping that you put on ice cream and it turns into a magic shell of sweet sweet chocolate. But for him it was invisible and not so sweet.  | ||

Over here at the job, people are waiting for paperwork from an artist of mine. I said that, if the paperwork is not in by today that I would eat the cd that was waiting for said paperwork. I made this claim knowing that it was going to come in - I made a big deal out of it in front of everyone. The paperwork never came in. I did not eat the cd, but I ate the paper from inside the cd case. Not my finest moment. But I never welch on a bet. Never. A core value.  | ||

Hey thanks lazydog. It's making my toe feel somewhat better. I have taken by big toe for granted all these years. When it is not working right, it's a major drag (limp). Cheers! | ||

 Why is Short Cuts not on DVD? or Let's Get Lost.... | ||
| Dave Supporter Username: Dave Post Number: 7384 Registered: 4-1997 |
Short Cuts is on DVD. Netflix has it. | ||
| buzzsaw Citizen Username: Buzzsaw Post Number: 2617 Registered: 5-2001 |
EDITOR'S NOTE: OK it seems that Short Cuts has been released on DVD as part of the criterion collection. Hmm. I should have checked. I have no idea why Let's Get Lost is not on DVD. I love this movie, though it is a tragic true story. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095515/ How could a guy with such a sweet voice be so troubled. Maybe that's a dumb question. } | ||

Quote from an article about LA's black out yesterday: At the Bob's Big Boy restaurant in Burbank, power was out for about 90 minutes. "All we could serve were salads and cold sandwiches, no hamburgers," manager Frank Rodriguez said. | ||

So. My wife is changing the baby and my older son is yelling to her. "I'm busy right now" "moooooooooooooooooooooom I need you" "one second I am changing your brother" "I need to go pee" "OK go pee" He can do this by himself. He has done it many many many times by himself. He's a pro. Better than me. "No I want youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" "you can do it by yourself, your brother needs to be changed. I'll be with you in one moment" Silence My wife goes in the living room to see that my older son has peed all over the couch. ALL OVER. You can't get mad. You just can't. But, wow - now I know what to do if I need/want attention. Ohhhhhhhh children. My older son broke my heart a few days ago when I was on my way out the door. "I'm going to work now" "where's mom" "up with your brother, she'll be right down" "where are you going" "I have to go to work" "Oh. So who's going to take care of ME" I should have called in sick that day. Oh yeah. One last thing. My older guy was doing something...I can't remember...something like eating with his hands. "You know, when you grow up you can't do that. It's not nice" "I don't want to grow up" Amen. | ||

 (Tom Waits/K. Brennan) When I'm lyin' in my bed at night I don't wanna grow up Nothin' ever seems to turn out right I don't wanna grow up How do you move in a world of fog That's always changing things Makes me wish that I could be a dog When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up I don't ever wanna be that way I don't wanna grow up Seems like folks turn into things That they'd never want The only thing to live for Is today I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set I don't wanna grow up Open up the medicine chest And I don't wanna grow up I don't wnna have to shout it out I don't want my hair to fall out I don't wanna be filled with doubt I don't wanna be a good boy scout I don't wanna have to learn to count I don't wanna have the biggest amount I don't wanna grow up Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up They all go out and drinking all night And I don't wanna grow up I'd rather stay here in my room Nothin' out there but sad and gloom I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb On Grand Street When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up Stay around in my old hometown I don't wanna put no money down I don't wanna get me a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna float a broom Fall in and get married then boom How the hell did I get here so soon I don't wanna grow up |
