40 mph out of the northwest

shit... this weather blows. the ions of spring are fucking with me again. at this point I say: my kingdom for the horse latitudes! becalm me so I can sleep please just make it stop.

bright and shiney

After yesterday the weather, being schizophrenic as usual, left behind today a crisp and clear new light that's hard wired to the voices within. They are all in their places with bright shining faces. A calm has appeared like an early warning. I wait and watch.

the sky is crying...

The fluid runs black against the tarmac and spreads like fibroids across brain matter while my mood reflects images of my day.

...dem bones, dem bones, dem lovely bones...

I find solace in the cemetery. There's no Frisbee golf and dogs running amok, no chatty Kathies or cyclists in tights. Only weedeaters and bobcats roam the grounds.
There is peace among the dead, the grateful dead.

So where to now St. Peter?

...papers, papers please, papers... rio de daginnero, papers... frenkfert... papers please, blin... papers please...

technology 1 me 0

Sprint 4G is coming to Austin soon among other select cities in Texas so I'm thinking next year I can upgrade to a 4G phone and really zoom. One of my perks is I can upgrade every year w/o contractual problems. Trying to squeeze all this in while I can you know. I'm not a complete Luddite. Of course there's never a free lunch really, they just want you to think that when you sign up for all this stuff that's "unlimited" but I like to think I'm getting what I'm paying for, inflated or not and I'll find the time to use it. Oh sure.
On a good night at home, which is almost all the time, I will go outside and burn incense and pray to the cell tower gods for cell tower offspring to form nearby. But WTF, I got a PC so I don't need no stinkin phone at the house anyway. What was I thinking?

There's a lot to research and I have to say other than the keys being too small to suit me, the blackberry is a serious device and a cool one for an old guy. I'm staying with Sprint because I am and I like the service and bla bla bla... next year I'll see what they're offering in 4G.

Upgrade! yay...

I will however resist an Ipod because I like hearing what's going on around me instead of being plugged into some jam and stepping off the curb in front of a speeding bus. Especially before the song's over and besides who wants to be remembered as that smear over there on the pavement?

Send in the clones

I sit and hide among alien life forms known as soccer moms and Sarah Palins mostly but sometimes Firstdudes all with their devil spawn in tow and I wonder about those brain cells that were left behind in their other pants back at the cave... no wait wait wait, never mind...

the moms

I saw my mother's pilot light blow out. She's been robbed and I can do no more. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen.
