One of the pictures was of myself and my mom. I think I was about 5 years old.

Gerry is in Florida, working through New Years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I am here...coasting along. I do that VERY well, mind you. Very. Well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I laid in bed last night, hearing every damn noise possible in my empty house and without my dogs there to remind me that they ARE there. Instead, I hear my cat, playing with a water bottle cap. I wake up. Jolt out of sleep. Then I fall back asleep. Have a dream about walking down a steeeep flight of stairs...in the dark...on some kind of building. There is some kind of white elephant game going on with people in the building. I am not a part of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Then I wake up again. This time, it's the A/C kicking off and on. Fucking A/C. Off to sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Wait...not yet...someone came home at 2 a.m. and their damn car alarm went off as they were probably trying to lock the car, were drunk, and hit the panic button. Asshole. I know who it was. The stupid-ass across the street who, one night...decided he was going to run back and forth on the street while "In Da Club" played on his car stereo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;What.A.Fag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Needless to say, I didn't actually fall asleep until about 3:45 or so. I had RLS...bad...kinda like growing pains. That didn't help either. My arms kept falling asleep and my pillow sucks ass. That's it...I'm buying new pillows today. Hell yeah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Ok, bitch number 2. It's New Year's Eve. I'm not really spending it alone...just with my boy. He'll be out by 8. Wahoo. Perhaps I'll play my Nintendo DS. Have some wine. Take some type of p.m. ish type meds and actually sleep tonight. Who cares about the ball drop. Who cares? I really, honestly...do not give an ounce of shit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Don't come in and tell me I look "rested" today. I've heard it...and it's bullshit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I am not rested, I am irritated and could really use a big, fat dose of happy right now. I'm not in the mood to type a divorce decree because some client decided to bring it TODAY. No. I am supposed to go home early. Not work on this shit. I hate decrees. They suck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Ok, I think I'm done. For now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2402214140676488882-3611102015966224979?l=dahnyarant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://dahnyarant.blogspot.com/2009/01/before-it-all-goes-bye-bye.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (d.a.h.n.y.a.)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402214140676488882.post-6097767126118759260</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-12T01:08:14.749+09:30</atom:updated><title>why I'm a fucking idiot.</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;By: Fucking Idiot...I mean it was 35 this morning.

Cheese for his little friend's 3rd birthday party. First of all, you should see this little girl. She is a doll. White-blonde, short hair and a pout that won't quit. Way to go, buddy! He loves her. Anyway, I've never had a reason to go to CEC whilst Jez has been on Earth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;We have all been in our lives. Back when I was little, it was...shit. What was it called...hold on...SHOWBIZ PIZZA. Yes. Over in Pasad-get-down-dena. Wow. I'm old. I remember Billy Bob...and some rat chick cheerleader thing that swung around pom-poms...they put on a whole skit and everything. It was mind-numbing. Now...there's CEC, by himself, creepily being moved by some person hiding behind the wall, staring at you through the beedy eyes of a mouse. (at least, that's what it seems like). I'm proud of Jezek though, when the "real" Mr. Cheese came out, Jez went up to him without me telling him to, and hugged him. Jerk-tear. He was also 1 of 3 boys at a girl party. Right on! He didn't want to play much, just watch the train thing go around and watch Mommy play basketball. He loved that...for...whatever reason.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I'm leading myself away from my main question: what's up with the kids who come up to you while your kid is playing a game, or riding a ride, who take over, push buttons and look at you like "move your kid"...? The socialization of kids at this place is quite hilarious. Jez was like "no dude" with that look on his face. The kid then looks at me, tells ME he has no more tokens...like I'm supposed to give him more, and then won't go away. He was a random kid.

It lasted all of 4 days before ornaments were crushed, limbs were bent and spirit destroyed. Little Ike (kitten that he is) made his home in the tree.

When he's 34 and sitting in his therapist's office, perhaps memories of his mom taking down the tree whilst yelling at the cat will come back and he'll ask "why me?"...poor fella.

I don't need to consult a psychiatrist, or talk to a therapist, no. I just need to have that little conversation with "me" and all the stars seem to align. Perhaps that is how crazy people are born.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;My friend in the office who shall remain nameless for the sake of, nothing really, but just being nice - has a 15 year old son who likes to walk the dog. A lot. Apparantly there is a girl in the neighborhood that meets him between houses at the A/C unit to give him bj's. I friggin' love it. Of COURSE she's teen-angst ridden and wears really thick, black eye-liner and crams her ass into skinny jeans (which are so not cool if you're a normal adult) and drops to give him 20. Actually, it's probably more like 1.5 min. But I digress. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;None of my fucking clothes fit me. All my jeans hang off my non-existent ass which my husband must remind me daily, that I don't have. I don't know where I have gone. It's disturbing on many levels. I always look at the really crazy stick-like folk around here and think one of two things: quit doing meth....and....quit doing meth. There are some nasty ass people around the square. You can't go anywhere without someone looking like they just rolled out of bed, forgot that they had court, smell like booze, cigs, etc. It reminds you of all the stupid things you did when you were younger...makes you wonder how nothing ever happened to you and ESPECIALLY makes you wonder what would have happened had you kept on being. Stupid. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I really have PMS today. It's a fire ignited within and I can't fucking help it.

I'm allowed to do this. I'm on "vacation"...it's my "holiday". Now, if I were doing this on a regular day, not so cool. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;script src="http://entrecard.s3.amazonaws.com/widget.js?user_id=17439&amp;amp;type=standard_127" type="text/javascript" id="ecard_widget"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;Here's my thing. It's the day after Thanksgiving and it's 84 degrees outside. This makes it very hard for me to want to put up a Christmas tree. I know you understand. I'm sitting here, in a tank top and flip flops and can't find it in me to get the tree out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;I just had a realization: I don't rant enough. Why? Nobody really reads this. Picklo, I love you. But really. Who is reading this? It sits in space...I "feel" better that I've vomited my thoughts....but realistically, what the hell? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;Ladonna, if you're here...thank you!

(wait, that would make me in 2nd grade, probably waiting in the school bus line OR getting dropped off on good ol' Sagemill. I think I was wearing red glasses and Converse tennies that day. I was such a boy)...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;script src="http://entrecard.s3.amazonaws.com/widget.js?user_id=17439&amp;amp;type=standard_127" type="text/javascript" id="ecard_widget"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;But really. What happens to us and our brains? Our memories? When I am 50, will I remember being 29 like it was yesterday, because I don't really think so. I don't remember my 20's very well. Maybe because I don't want to. 6 years spent in college (which is a whole other topic) and what did I actually gain out of it? Ok, so I can spell some "words" and I know what Dante's Inferno is, but what else? I do know this: I drank and drove a WHOLE SHIT LOT and nothing ever happened to me. Now I work for an attorney and deal with DWI peeps and my God, it's amazing that I never had to be one of "them". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Thank you, Jesus. Speaking of Jesus...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I sat Jezek down for dinner last night, some Shrek shaped soup and a Hi-C. Remember the metal cans that Hi-C used to come in? You had to use a friggin' bottle opener to punch triangle holes in 2 sides to get the shit to come out. Fun! Anyway, I put the bib on Jez and he says to me "mommy, we now say a prayer".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I was speechless and realized at THAT moment that he did NOT learn that from me (which is bad) and that I didn't know how to say it with him (which is even worse). Thank "God" for school. What has happened? I'm not one to speak about religion or politics openly, because A) it bores me and B) I just don't care. But when you're 2 1/2 year old learned about the Bible and says a prayer before eating and they did not learn it from you, you think "what a horrible parent I am"...there's nothing like your toddler looking at you like "why the hell don't you know this, mommy?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Nice. Parenting. Hey, he loves. That's all that matters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I watched countless hours of bad tv yesterday. Just layed on the bed, and flipped back and forth between "Clueless" and "National Lampoons Van Wilder"...the best part about "Clueless" was the abundant amount of Radiohead songs and a dash of Counting Crows. Wow...I miss my youth. Again. Only for a fleeting moment. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Dude, again with the calls asking for free legal advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Stop.

Standing in line. Wishing I was lying supine on an island somewhere. My peripheral vision picked up the most hideous sight. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;script src="http://entrecard.s3.amazonaws.com/widget.js?user_id=17439&amp;amp;type=standard_127" type="text/javascript" id="ecard_widget"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;There was a girl, very long legged, with what appeared to be panty-sized shorts on with these crocheted knee-high sock things that went from her knees to about mid foot so she could STILL wear flip flops. She had bad hair and worse make-up. Then I heard the conversation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Girl: "omg...I'm still working at Hollister, it's sooo easy, I can soooo get you a job there if you want"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Other girl: "well, I'm pretty happy at my dr.'s office, but it sounds like you're having fun"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Girl: "I don't do anything, it's so easy, and look at my cool clothes"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I wanted to barf. For many, many reasons. Perhaps it was the smell of onion soup wafting past my nose at the same time I heard this conversation, or perhaps I realized how old I really am. But you know what? I wouldn't change being almost 30 for anything. You just don't seem to know the same shit at 18 that you do at 29.

Jez and I were in line and this woman walks up behind us, barely noticeable, until I REALLY looked at her and watched out of my peripheral vision, what she was doing. Her items were that of odd; a tub of chewing gum, some plastic hook things and a duster. Perhaps she was going to hang some pictures, with plastic hooks, stuck to the wall by gum. She opened the tub and asked me "can he have one?" Caught off guard, I look, realize she means Jez and I politely say "no, he's too little". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;script src="http://entrecard.s3.amazonaws.com/widget.js?user_id=17439&amp;amp;type=standard_127" type="text/javascript" id="ecard_widget"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;"Well, he was eye-balling it..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;"yeah, I bet...but no thanks."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;"wow, he must look JUST like his daddy because he looks NOTHING like his momma.."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;crickets...and some more crickets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;"wow, um don't know what to say to that"...as I really look at her and her pink jeans, black and hot-pink playboy bunny shirt, HUGE coke bottle glasses and really bad haircut. She was pleasant enough, but without a mute button. It was the icing on the cake of my day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;This morning, I dropped Jez off at school and stayed just a TAD too long. All the other kids were sitting at a table with no room so Jez had to start the 2nd table. There is a kid in the class named Jack who I think may be his little buddy. He sat with Jez and ate breakfast. All of a sudden, Jez says "mommy, stay at school" with tears in his eyes. Woops, time to exit stage left. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;First week of school, he's a pro.

I've tried. I can't do it. I feel like I should be doing something other than what I wake up for in the morning...and I want it to consist of really funny people who don't give a shit and share all their salty snacks with you. Who don't expect beyond what you are physically, emotionally and mentally able to give them. Who pay you what you deserve and know they can't live without you and want to keep you happy. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;There are not a lot of people out there who genuinely try and give a shit about their jobs. It just isn't the human way.

You know, everyone is standing around, someone does something stupid, and without being judged, someone throws them down in their place and it's wonderful. I know you know what I'm talking about. No fear in commenting on the retarded. Nothing bad will happen or be said about you if you just say what you feel. We don't say what we feel enough. That's where all this PC shit comes into play, too. (stream of consciousness will get away from me soon)...I shouldn't expound on that too much.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;It's nice to have the tv off for a night. Nice to hear the clock ticking on the wall. Nice to have a buzz for once, b/c when you drink wine all the time, the buzz gets a little tough to find. I must have a slightly empty stomach. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I would like to also take my fucking hat off to Christina Applegate who, at 36 years of age, was diagnosed with breast cancer...elected to have a bi-lateral mastectomy (not 1, but 2, folks...) just to fucking make sure that that shit was GONE. Awesomeness to her. I know it's way in my fate to possibly face this someday, much like my mom, and I have to say, I think I would do the same. Why the hell does it matter now, my boobs are smaller than they have EVER been in my life, so what's the difference if they're gone to save my life? We'll see what happens in a few years. Ladies, at 30, get a mammy. I don't care what your Dr. says, get one.

Yet, we watch them because we are all inner freak-o's who like to people watch. It's like sitting at the mall or the airport...watching humanity at it's best. Ok, not so much like that...the actual people watching is better than TV, but I digress. My question is this: why do reality shows have to have reunion shows to watch themselves some more? Reality diving into reality to show the "realness" of the Real World, which is not, by any means, real. As I get older, the shit I watch on TV really surprises me. I don't watch anything because I truly enjoy it. I watch because it's so stupid, for lack of a better term. Everyone is a TV star these days. It doesn't take much. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I'm having a bad blogging day. I have blogger's block...but I'm needing to vent...I just can't pinpoint what ABOUT. It's Thursday and I'm brain dead. I've had the same headache for 2 days, it's finally decided to leave me alone, I think. I still have lost some feeling in my right thumb from my bowling throw-down a few weeks ago and I'm starting to think I may have damaged a nerve or two. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I'm going to stop right now because I am THAT incredibly boring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2402214140676488882-8558890159509243228?l=dahnyarant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://dahnyarant.blogspot.com/2008/06/reality-tv.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (d.a.h.n.y.a.)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402214140676488882.post-4756251031607061506</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-09T16:16:00.701+09:30</atom:updated><title></title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QkyuSg1htes/SGACqo2OYjI/AAAAAAAAAAM/bqVkI3o5IOY/s1600-h/IMG_0232.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QkyuSg1htes/SGACqo2OYjI/AAAAAAAAAAM/bqVkI3o5IOY/s400/IMG_0232.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215171300037648946" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Nonie Pie Chart Review.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;script src="http://entrecard.s3.amazonaws.com/widget.js?user_id=17439&amp;amp;type=standard_127" type="text/javascript" id="ecard_widget"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;We have a love/hate relationship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;She won't even look at the camera.

Perhaps it's just so hot outside, it's melting our brains, causing us to move slower, act stupidER and even just seem asshole-ish. So, I apologize, just so I can say I did, even though I'm not talking to anyone in particular.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I hate when I go to buy a book and it's not there.

And, it doesn't help when the call is prefaced with "nobody in Yellow County will take my case, I need a laaaaaayur" sooooo mobile-home-spectacular. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I also hate the fact that Highway 105 is turning into 1960 and Houston is slowly making its way up towards no-mans-land...and that it takes me over 30 minutes to get home, a whopping 10 extra than it should, b/c the traffic lights do not accommodate the number of cars on the road.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Yes, I could be sitting in the pit of hell traffic I used to sit in, but I'm not and I can bitch where I please.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I also hate being so bitchy.

Don't call an attorneys office and think you're going to get free legal advice over the phone. You don't call a Dr.'s office and ask to speak to the Dr. to ask him what the hell that fungus is on your ass, do you? And actually expect to talk to THE Dr.....and NOT be charged for it? Think about it, people. Also, the internet is a LOVELY resource that can answer 98% of your legal questions, if you just. google. search. the. shit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I have no good shows to watch on the tube. I'm reading a book that isn't um, quite what I thought it was going to be, and I'm not sure if I actually enjoy or I'm more disturbed. I should figure that out soon.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Luby's. What are you doing? Why do you insist on employing bus people and staging them as 'waitors' and 'waitresses'?...No, I don't need any butter, I didn't forget the butter, I didn't WANT the butter, now stop asking me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Another thing I can't stand. Obnoxious women who have little harmless babies in their care, who insist on being loud as hell in very crowded, public lines, blurting out nonsense about how old their child is, what the child is doing milestone-wise at this age and REPEATING the same information to the point that you wish you could stick a damn fork in your eye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I could go on, but I have to actually work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;ciao!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2402214140676488882-5165421455183440591?l=dahnyarant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://dahnyarant.blogspot.com/2008/06/seriously.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (d.a.h.n.y.a.)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402214140676488882.post-8853724016240835603</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Jun 2008 00:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-14T09:51:06.081+09:30</atom:updated><title>Bowling.</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I did it.

Head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I had the craziest dream last night. I have a bad habit of dreaming about the Houston roadways. For example: I was supposed to go to Star Pizza with some ex-co-workers of mine (in my dream)...and I was driving one of those Smart Cars...(wtf?) and sitting in I-10 traffic, then trying to remember WHERE Star was. It then starts raining on me, and just like on a roller coaster ride when you're at the top, slowly about to shoot down, well, I shoot down faster than hell and I'm riding I-10 in my Smart Car, steering, flying, rolling....and after about 10 min. of this, I stop abruptly. I wake up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;Help? what the hell?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I hate dreams like that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;I wish, sometimes, I didn't dream.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2402214140676488882-2163966264424715575?l=dahnyarant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://dahnyarant.blogspot.com/2008/06/pina-coladacaught-in-rainnot-into-yogai.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (d.a.h.n.y.a.)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
