Ya know..

Dear 2011,

I had a lot of eye-opening experiences in the past year thanks to you, and I’m pleased to have absorbed a lot of what you had to say. Thanks for the lessons and ‘tests,’ and thanks for the awesome, inspiring people you introduced me to. You were not the best year ever, but you certainly could have been worse. Keep my health working for me and my family and friends safe in the coming year, and we can stay great pals. And please, ask your buddy Time to slow down a bit, and be more generous. That would be great. Much appreciated.

Sincerely, Sly

Winter Solstice morning. Taylorsville, Utah. 2 am. Alcohol a factor.
Man attempts to shoot a mouse in his kitchen
Man misses and the bullet goes through the wall
Bullet hits another man in the next room, which is a bathroom
Man screams, having been shot in the chest while taking a piss
Police are called
A third man, who is 34 years old, tells his girlfriend to hide in the basement
This girl is only 13
Police arrive, arrest the shooter, and take the wounded man to the hospital
They further investigate, discover the girl, and begin questioning her
They learn that the 34 year old man had been banging the girl for some time, for several months, in fact
This is illegal, even in Utah
The 34 year old man is arrested and booked on two counts of rape of a child
Three counts of sodomy of a child
And three counts of sexual abuse of a child
The mouse was not injured

Ramble Me, Ramble You

I’m really beginning to despise typing blogs from my phone. It feels so ridiculously tedious, no matter how informal. I also think I’m developing CTS in my right wrist from all the texting-like activity. I’m ready to have my laptop back. Damnit. At least I’ll have REAL CTS then.

Ya know, I get kinda insecure about posting certain entries, because I figure nobody really cares about reading pointless bullshit. But, I see a few people spewing a lot of bullshit posts and I quite enjoy them. So, screw it.

Also thinking of maybe starting to post blogs first thing in the morning. Could be fun and interesting to start seeing my first thoughts of the day. Or, very possibly discouraging. Who knows. But still, the intention to do so does begin to breed motivation. And it would be perfect ME quiet-time, and a perfect way to set the mood for each day ahead. I would just need a coffee maker. But hot chocolate may work well as a substitute for now. Hmmm….

Well damn.

Oh, yeah (Ran out of things to say for a sec..)

Someone mentioned earlier in a blog about how absurd atheism is…

(I would so properly reference here, if I knew how on Tumblr…someone tell me, please?…but it was early onset of night’s post…and I was going to comment on the post,but don’t know how from my phone…ahem…Droid X….ahem…)

But yes, I agree. To a point. I am an atheist, so I can’t think it’s THAT absurd. And I’m not so much thinking of the non-spiritual scientifically-drenched essentially- nothingness side. More of the crap holier than thou side. Ironic, eh?

I did go on a bit of a Twitter rant to atheists the other day, about how freaking hypocritical they can be…often even more hypocritical than the ’ believers’ they so very much love to call morons. But they’re too caught up in their own blinding intelligence that they completely overlook their own idiocy. It’s more than annoying. Almost makes me want to run over into the opponents yard and throw stones the OTHER way for a little while.

One thing I cannot stand - a hate and anger spewing militant dumbass atheist. Fuck you, asshole, for making the rest of us look just as bad as they already think we are. Fuck you and your stinky finger.

Ugh. Morons.

(Was that hateful? Oh, well. I meant it.)

But on a lighter (sorta), and totally different (really) note…I can now completely understand why some people become ‘stuck’ in their generational era, musically. Some people would claim classic rock as the greatest musical era, and even though I disagree for my own personal reasons, I feel where they’re coming from with that.

My fave musical era is the 90’s…Tool, Type O Negative, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, etc…There’s not very much that is better.

My kinda-new job allows me to listen to as much music as I can stand every day, and so I’ve been able to reconnect with a lot of my old favorites (listening to a Tool station on my phone through headphones). And holy crap, they sound even better and speak even more loudly to me now. I’m in love with music all over again. Thanks, Universe.

In that way, the Universe really has been shining brightly on me.

And hopefully, Mother Nature will deem me worthy enough to hear her sweet rain-song tonight. Spending time with my oldest BFF tomorrow with all four of our kiddos and two doctor appts., one of which includes a certain three year old dollface getting immunization shots. Oi. :(

Big day tomorrow. G’night, Tumblr world.

I will give you potheads one thing: you know your way around a microwave oven."
