Starlight, Starbright...wish in one hand,s**t in the other

Have you ever given any thought about wishes? I mean, if given the chance to be granted 3 wishes in your lifetime, what would you wish for?..... I know what I'd wish for.

1. My first wish would be for one million more wishes. Why, because I know I'd want more things and run out of wishes.....(greediness, i guess)
2. My second wish would be for World Peace. No more wars in this world, enough already!!
3. And last, but not least, an amount of wealth that would exceed Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, The Hilton Sisters, and Yoko Ono all rolled into one.(of course I would share that money with my family, friends, and fellow bloggers)

And I still have 999,997 more wishes!! Cool.

Naughty by Nature....

And the word for today is: PERVERSION

1.

a. The act of perverting.

b. The state of being perverted.

2. A sexual practice or act considered abnormal or deviant.

Here lately, it seems the main topic of conversation is about sex. Not just your ordinary, typical roll in the hay goodtime, but rather taking a downward, spiral slide in another direction..."The Wild Side" It's like people are on a game show called, What's my Perversion?...

I happen to be a huge fan of sexual activity, just as many people are, I just find it funny that every conversation I become involved in centers around sex. And at my job, I don't even want to talk about what they're discussing. It's pretty creepy. But, that comes with the territory of working in a meat shop with meatcutters.

Yea, Lust is definately in the air....

What it is, is what it is.

I posted an entry twelve days ago concerning some photos I downloaded from various sites on the web. To make a long story short.....I ended up deleting them. (for more info on this, look at my entry posted on July 17th.) I guess you can say that I'm a bit too cautious when it comes to copywrited materials. Anyway, I decided to put the photos back up. As I previously stated, The pictures are from a site called Free Foto.com and taken by Ian Britton. I enjoyed viewing them so much that I just wanted to share them with all of you. So, they're back once again in my previous posts from May 2005. I haven't decided if I'm going to put the Led Zeppelin Pics back up, maybe...As for the pic of my turtle Arky,(a female) that little fart won't come out from hiding. I'll have to work on it.

Today was a very pleasant day. The weather was absolutely beautiful and my work day went pretty smooth--strange, but smooth. And I'll leave it at that....

That's about it. Not too much happening in my world today.

Laters!

Communications Misunderstood

So the battle continues...
Us ~ verses ~ Them,
A war of the minds...
Let the mind games begin.

You provide our foundation...
We're at your command,
We do all of your bidding...
As you always demand.

Your standards' so high...
Forever trying to meet them,
Accepting your challenge...
Without rhyme or reason.

As time goes on, conviscation begins...

First our priveledges, then our honor,

And when we transend,

You try to take our pride...Without success...

So, the war still goes on...

Ne'er side will not budge,

Coming face to face...

Each giving a nudge.

Compromisation is not an option...

Your way or the highway,

The pressure's on, let your conscience be your guide...

And who suffers from all of this tension...

Everyone does, both sides...

Happy people are productive people.

Do you not understand that?

When will you learn that angry people are just that?

Respect is recieved by respect which is given....

And as for our minds...

They grow stronger each day.

The will to survive,

Shall keep them that way.

So for future reference, as you gather your weapons,

Just remember one thing...

We are a peaceful people.

Here to do what we're supposed to do.

It is you who are fighting the battle, honestly.

Not us, we're just trying to survive...

And the winners are......

I have many friends who like to gamble. I have nothing against it. I used to go to the casino quite often myself. I always considered the casino like an arcade, only for adults, instead of children. Of course thinking that way can be pretty dangerous. Anyway, what I'm really wanting to talk about are the scratch-off tickets. Some people go really bonkers on them. There's this one friend of mine who plays scratch-offs EVERYDAY! He can't possibly be ahead, no way. The amount of money he spends is crazy to say the least. Don't get me wrong, it's his money and he can spend it as he chooses, but there's no way he's winning. Of course he does have his moments when he wins $20.00 here or $50.00 there but, how much did he spend to finally obtain that winning ticket???

I'm not trying to be holyer than thou here. I've played my fair share of scratch-offs as well, but I don't play everyday. Geez, who can afford to do that? I also will be the first to admit that I am not "a winner" as so many people choose to say they are. I also realize that there are some people that really do win. They're really ahead of the game and that's great! I just can't see that EVERYONE who plays is a true winner. If that were the case, there would be little or no money to win and the lottery would be no more.

I guess what really facinates me are the stories people like to tell about their many fortunes of winning all of the time. Although I can't for the life of me bring myself to asking them why they're still working if they win so much money all of the time. Why not gamble for a living? Right?? There are people who do that. I don't think it's a very smart idea, but some people do.

I suppose gambling is way of hope for some. Maybe like living in a dream of one day hitting a jackpot and becoming rich enough to live the "American Dream" as they see fit.(an expensive way to dream, but still a fantasy to most) It's something to do, I guess. Every so often, I too get the fever. My curiousity gets the better of me and I go down to the local discount cigarette shop to purchase a few tickets. Do I ever win? Not really, maybe a ticket here or a buck or two. Nothing big. So I go home and put that dream back up on the shelf--for future use. Hee Hee.
Maybe one day, right? So.....Where are the winners anyway???? Where are they at?

What's on my mind...Life's changes

It's funny how your life unfolds as time goes on. You never know how things are going to turn out. You may have your assumptions, or thoughts of what you think will happen in your future but, you never really know until things materialize. For instance: When I was a teenager, I always used to think I'd be rich one day. I'd either marry into wealth or be a self-made millionaire or something of the sort. I always thought I'd be married by the age of 30 (or younger) and have at least two children. Funny, one out of four and that is changed now as well.

I'm divorced....

I'm not rich, nor did I marry a wealthy man.(although i did get married at a very young age) I was sixteen when I made that trip down the isle. And ....that was a trip, but everything happens for a reason. The "marriage" lasted for four years. It was a learning experience for me. We never had any children. Thank goodness, since we were only children ourselves. I did however see my ex-sister-in-law some years back and she showed me a picture of his[my ex-husband's] daughter. She looked just like him. She was beautiful. I often wonder about him. How his life is, if he's still the same....

He was three years older than me which made him nineteen. He was like all teenage guys at that time. He was a stoner, loved his rock-n-roll, played air guitar, drank beer, and lots of coffee. He loved to eat, especially when he had "the munchies" after smoking a few joints. He never gained a pound though. He was like a bottomless pit. Let's see.....He should be about forty-three now, I wonder if that's caught up with him?

I guess I think about him every now and again because when we were together, and the circle of friends we associated with, and my age at that time, were very enjoyable times for me. We used to pull some crazy stunts back then. From harmless joyrides around the old neighborhood, to drag races on long straight-a-ways, to house parties spilling into the streets, never knowing whose house you'd wind up at. Just all around fun times. To quote Jerry Garcia & The Grateful Dead: "What a long, strange trip it's been."

Not that I'm living in the past. I just like to go back there on occasion.....

My primary focus is on my present life and future aspirations. I can honestly say that it is not my intention to get married again. But, you never know. As for wealth, I guess it's just not in the cards. Atleast not in the wage bracket of my occupation. And since I'm not an avid lottery player, my chances are next to nothing. So, I guess I'm amongst the poverty-stricken 'cause the middle class is just about disintegrated. (THANKS GEORGE!!) yeah, right.....

Well, I still have my pride, and my will and determination. And that accounts for something.

Yeah, Life's still good!!

Missouri-SHOW ME-Mirages:

A few words to describe today: "FREAKIN' ASS HOT!"

It was a miserable day outside. Even the animals at Grant's Farm were looking rather uncomfortable. Poor babies..... I felt so sorry for them as I drove past. With all of the humidity and heat, I've noticed that people start acting really strange too. Case in point-- I was driving on the highway earlier today,(notice I said the word highway) and it seemed that every car I was behind was going to a funeral. No one seemed to be doing the speed limit; let alone the minimum.

I know what you're thinking......and yes, I was doing(or trying to do) the speed limit.

I thought of getting in the passing lane, but they too were moving like snails. I couldn't understand it. There was no accident on the roadway and it wasn't a high traffic time. I don't know what else to blame it on so I guess it was the heat.

Here are some more oddities I experienced today......

a. I didn't notice many people talking on cell phones. Normally EVERYONE is on them.[not including me, of course. ha ha]

b. It seems the unanamous choice is to drive with your windows down, even when it feels like the air coming in your car is from the opening of an oven, fireplace, or outside bonfire.

c. Nothing's better than a nice ice cold drink in this heat. Ya think those people drinking beer on their front porches would like some water to rehydrate a little??

d. Layered clothing....nice fashion statement, but in the wintertime, not July. HELLO??????

e. Skimpy clothes. I enjoy seeing men reveal their muscles and shapely women should be proud of their bodies. But mini skirts and mens half shirts are not becoming on the flabby. Get a clue folks!!

Okay, I can honestly say that I blame the heat for statements a,b & d. Statement c however; has nothing to do with the heat. They're there everyday. Ahem..... As for the last statement, Unfortunately I see this alot. Don't get me wrong. It's nice to feel good about yourself. It's just that sometimes appearances don't look as good as you may think they do. I know I would never dress in a revealing outfit unless I had the "model type" shape to show it off. That's just my opinion though. (must be from the heat)

Anyway, it was a strange day. I'm glad it's over.

What's up with that?...

Okay, get this. Here it is 9:00pm on a Sunday evening and what do I hear?

The Ice cream man is driving down my street!!!

What's up with that??????

The kiddie music's blarring and everything......

Do you honestly think he's selling ice cream at this time of night?

.....To children, I might add,INDEED.

But, what do I know, huh?

....and Today's lesson is???

So, I decided to log into my flickr account to find out why my flickr badge wasn't working properly. While searching the message boards,(and seeing that I'm not the only one having this problem) I came across a message discussing an issue regarding the type of photos people upload to blogs. Apparently, when you post photos on flickr or to your blog, they're supposed to be YOUR OWN photos.

So, in other words; you're not supposed to post pictures from the web that you have not taken yourself....

I didn't know that. I just assumed that you could post any pictures you wanted as long as you explain where they came from.(ie: this photo is courtesy of...)

I guess I was wrong. AGAIN...ha ha ha

Needless to say, I decided to delete the pictures I had posted of Led Zeppelin--->my favorite rock-n-roll band.

Frankly, I don't understand why this can't be done. I mean as long as you don't pretend that the picture is yours, how can that be wrong??

I also had some other pictures posted from a photo site...beautiful pictures, by the way, but I deleted those as well. Hmmmmmmmm, too bad. Lesson learned, I guess.

Anyway, I'm up late tonight since I had a marathon nap. I got home from work and passed out around 3:30 in the afternoon. I didn't wake up until 10:30 tonight. It was around 2:30 pm when I got home from work. Upon walking in my carport, I noticed my neighbors sitting in their backyard,(all men) drinking beer and smoking what looked like either a whole goat or a lamb on a spit over a pit embedded in the ground.

Whatever it was, It smelled great. My neighbors are Bosnian, by the way. They're very nice people, and very clean but, when they party.....THEY PARTY!!! As a matter of fact; they're still outside right now, singing and drinking. hehe Yea, they're having a ball. They use my carport for parking which is okay with me 'cause I normally park in my garage anyway.

I notice that they never wear shoes when entering their home. I often wondered if this is a religious belief of some kind or that they just don't want to track any dirt onto the carpet from outside. I also notice that they normally have their screen door propped open in the front of their house. Perhaps this means that all are welcome....

One day I'll have to ask them about it.

Well, I guess I'd better go lay back down since I've only got about 3 more hours before I have to get ready for work. Nightie- nite all.

Back to the Grind....(sigh)

Here we go folks, back to reality. My vacation is officially over. (too bad...so sad) All good things must come to an end as they say. Yesterday was my first day back to work. Believe it or not, I was so relaxed that I was ready to go back. My day went rather well. Usually when I go back to work from a vacation I'm dragging and moping the whole day, and the day goes by so slow. But I must say that yesterday was a walk in the park. It went by pretty fast for me so that made it good. If you're wondering why I'm posting so early in the morning, it's because I just woke up from a deep sleep. I'm wide awake now. Last night, I was watching the all-star game, and I fell asleep around 8:30pm. Funny thing is when I woke up, I looked at my clock and thought I had to get up for work. (normally get up at 3:30am) I do have to go to work today but, not at my 40 hr. job, so I can sleep in if I want.

That is.....If I wasn't wide awake as I am now....

Which is why I hate falling asleep early in the evening. I'll get things back into perspective as my week progresses, I guess. Such is life....

I hope to have a productive day today although it's gonna be a long one. I'll probably go in around 8 or 9 am and work until 7pm. It's not too bad though. I'm surrounded by nice co-workers and the atmosphere is pleasant. A very family-oriented environment.(which is something you don't see too often anymore)

I think I'm going to take advantage of my time here, since it's still early, and go back to bed and relax. Or, stare at the ceiling for a few hours...Toodles all!!

Ain't Life Grand????

Just thought I'd let y'all know how my vacation is going. All I can say is: FAN-FRIGGIN-TASTIC!! I'm really enjoying my time off from work. (did you honestly think that I'd say it sucked?) I've never known a vacation to suck. Anytime a person gets to have a few days, or a week or two off from work, It's cause for a celebration in my book. Everyone deserves to have a break from the monotony of work. Free time to do whatever they want, when they want, how they want, with whom they want, or alone it they want, and for as long as they want.

And it feels so nice to have those choices....

Today was a very pleasurable day for me. My dental visit went extremely well and short, considering I haven't been to the dentist in about a year and a half. I take very good care of my teeth and gums so, no problems there. I decided to go shopping this morning around 10ish. So, I'm doing the usual "girly thang" --looking at clothes, going back and forth, in and out of the fitting room. I probably was driving the poor attendant crazy. I finally find the perfect jeans and the perfect tops to match perfectly....[otherwise I'd still be there and the attendant would be cursing me out now] And I'm off on my merry little way to shop 'til I drop.

BTW, I have no shopping list, which is very dangerous for me. That means anything and everything is fair game. It's bad enough when I have a list. Why I even make a shopping list is beyond me 'cause I never adhere to it. I always end up buying those "Invisible Items". You know the ones that you meant to put on the list, but forgot.

So anyway, I'm zonin' out in my little shopper's paradise and I finally make my way to the checkout lanes. Lemme tell ya, finding the checkout lanes is like a maze for me when I'm in shopping mode. I get all of my items loaded on the conveyor as the checker scans them. As I'm paying the checker, I look up at the clock on the wall and I swear, I damn near flipped out when i saw what time it was!!!! It was almost 1pm. I had been in the store shopping for almost 3 hours! No wonder i was getting tired. Walking around in a daze for 3 hrs. Geez!!

I enjoyed it though.

ALOT!!!!!!

Of course I wasn't finished. I still had to go to another store.....and I DID!!! The visit there was not quite as long though. Yea, even I was sick of shopping at that point....

I had a few errands to run and then I was homeward bound. The weather wasn't too bad today. It was somewhat humid but not that bad. I was out in it for a bit. I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll get to do alittle fishing. I really enjoy that. If not, I can always do it another day.

I didn't get a chance to go to the gym this evening but I will tomorrow nite. Looking forward to that...yea well, kinda. I'll feel better afterwards at least. I'm going to look for some pictures of my two doggies and my kitty cat and try to post them on here. I might put them on my other site: http://wwwgoodies.blogspot.com (The G Spot Pics)

Well, that's about it for now from me," Ms. Vacation." I wonder if this is how retirement feels??? I finally understand why most retired people hardly ever know what day of the week it is. Quite frankly, there's no need for it. MMMMMMMM....Freedom feels soooooooo nice!! Take care all and, don't work too hard. *SMILES & CHUCKLES*

*PEACE*

One more day and counting.....

The time has finally arrived. I am now officially on vacation from my full time job for 9 whole days!!! I still have to work my 2nd job tomorrow but after that, I will be COMPLETELY & TOTALLY on vacation. I'm not going to work anywhere!


Gee, that really feels good to finally say that!!


I've really been looking forward to this time off. I need it and no, I'm not going anyplace special. But that's ok. I have so much to do around here it's not even funny. You'd be surprised at how much u miss when working 7 days a week. For instance; I hardly ever get to watch television. I couldn't tell you the name of any of the new shows that are on at the current time, much less what's going on in the news.


THAT'S SAD!!!!


My life is completely enveloped by work. Hopefully, this will change one day soon. I intend to make the most of my "free time" outside of a few appointments that I must keep. I have a mental list of a few things I'll be taking care of in the beginning of my week, and they are as follows:

1. Tuesday 7/5- I have a Dr. appointment.(my yearly OB-GYN) Thank goodness it's an early appt. I'm not looking forward to it but that's a part of being a woman....you know the deal ladies, I don't have to explain.
2. Yardwork. This is something that definately needs my attention something fierce. My poor rosebushes.... If only i could find something to rid my lawn of all the weeds, and chickweed forever without killing my roses.
3. Wednessday 7/6- I have a dental appointment. This too is an early appointment and won't take up much time in my day.
4. I will give my house a thorough GI cleaning. It's hard to find time to clean when working so many hours everyday. Of course, this will include the wonderful waxing of the floors on my hands and knees...And yes, if you're coming over for a visit, you will be leaving your shoes at the entry door. THANK YOU!
5. Thursday 7/7- This will be my fourth day of vacation and my first day of REAL RELAXATION. I wonder if the fish will be biting?? I can't wait!!

So you see, I have a plan that suits me. And for those concerned with my lifestyle change,(smoking, going to the gym, and eating healthier) I haven't forgotton about it. I will be working on that as well. I will admit that I have been struggling. My smoking is not as bad as before, but I am still averaging about 2 packs a day. That's one pack less than before so, that's a good thing, right??

My eating, well let's just say I have to work on it. And I am, trust me. With all the extra time I have in the day and evening, I'll be able to go to the gym more often. (another good thing) I'll try going at different times to find the least busy time and that way I'll be able to fit it into my schedule upon returning to work. I'm assuming the best time will be late evening....

Of course I'll be online occasionally. I'm not sure how often, but I will be on and off. YEA, I'm addicted....LOL

If you think I'm acting somewhat corny about going on vacation now, just wait until September.....I'll really be high up on goofballs then. You'll see. So, wish me happiness and please, DON'T HATE!!! See ya'll later!
