Currently Reading
Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right
By Al Franken
see related

So I’m just sitting here with time to spare, because the rain has kept things far from fair.

In recent news, I am currently relieved of most all my overly dramatic stresses. I’ve given up on the idea that some of my friends can be mature enough to hold a conversation about certain issues. I’m not holding my breath on their growing up. I can’t tell you how nice it is to communicate with those on the innocent level of about age ten. This is one of the best decisions I have made for myself in forever.

This summer, so far I have spent three days at the lake house, read four Nations completely, and cleaned my car out twice. I even popped the Malibu’s political sticker cherry with Granholm gear. I have had not one sunburn (knocks on wood), I put several hundred miles on the new car, broke my cell phone and took over two hundred pictures. I have called Dick Headed Devos’ office about seven times and I am shooting for the special “wacko voicemail box”. I’d say it is off to being one of the best summers yet.

My plans for the months ahead include two full weeks (July one- July fifteen) on the East coast, in Maine and New Hampshire, one Red Sox game in Detroit, more lake house visits, a Dave Matthews Band concert, a Will Hoge Concert, a trip to visit Beej in lovely Chicago, purchasing a new cell phone, and calling the Dick daily in hopes he will drop out of the race. These plans are tentative and will change weekly.

It was about two years ago this month that Mr. Windsor kitty passed away from feline leukemia, that was devastating. Sadly this past week our beloved Chester Binx died from the same thing, I wasn’t in NY to say goodbye but I miss the little dink already.

That is all for now.

So as I look around this bare room at the naked walls and exposed corkboards- I have a feeling of the same emptiness that this little room holds. This school year is coming to a close for me...and it seems this run on sentence has finally found an end.

This last school year was full of so much change for me. Although I have said it before and I will surely say it again: I think I now know so much more about who I am as a person. I put so much trust in people and people let me down in the same thought- people made it worth while

I was dumped in an ultra complex fashion, I was led to believe many a lie. "Love doesn't exist, and I am not just picking on love, cause I don't think that friendship exists either." I guess I could go on and on about this event but I will stick to these words- "No ball an Chain is worth my pain" hehe.

I saw so many wonderful concerts. *Farm Aid, Will Hoge, The Trews, The Audition, Will Hoge again, OAR, Lucero, Ben Folds, Will Hoge again again...* That can really make or break your happiness.

I lost two of my best friends, and when I say "lost" I am not sure I mean that. Perhaps that is my bitterness seeping through-but I am still not sure that I am all that saddened by this event. One went missing from the radar early on in the year, when she would drive home weekend after weekend to please her meathead. The other put up with me until the meathead let the former go. I am very interested in seeing what is going to happen when we all live together next year. Im am positive now that I will be the one to make the first attempt at peace, but I don't want to be that one this time. I have come to an admission in my mind that I am one of the most stubborn people and "yes I am always right" but hey everyone knows that, so once we can get over that little bump in the road, I think things might work out. I hope things work out, because living with me when I am in a bad mood, would not be a wise choice.

I think school went in and out of perception. This year is coming to a close with some more requirements under my belt, and I sometimes think I lost my yearning for further education. Then, I also have the thought that I shouldn't let the requirements and nitty gritty (math) get me down, and it is going to be okay. Again: we'll see.

Three years now and still today this "war" makes me sick. I am sick of how much we are paying for it, Im sick of all the death for it, and I am sick of this President and his crew. They are disgusting, and there are lies all around and something is going to give. Ps. You can't support the troops and support this illegal war. Dear yellow ribbon bearers, please take that magnet off your SUV and call your senators, and congress members, and hey you can even leave a comment for the president himself (the number is 202-456-1111) and say "I support the troops, I even sport a trendy magnet so now I want them to come home."

In related news: Dick Devos is an asswipe with no clear plan for Michigan, and he is scared of Michigan State Students (ask his driver ) "Michigan Doesn't Want A Crooked Dick"

I purchased a new car-without hesitation and now I am paying for it-literally.

I am finally moving out of the dorms. Which is one of the most relieving changes for me. Out on my own is taking a new meaning and I can't wait.

The world is always turning.

There is so much more I could say about these past few months and what they have held in my world...but I will sum it up in one word ----whimsical----

I am waiting with my mind open for what lies ahead.

So this evening has proven to be the funniest in weeks.

First off I received my plates, 7 days on the temps and no run in with the law....lucky I think.

Delaney is visiting for the last few days of her spring break and she's getting to see what its "really" like to be a college student. Shes up all night, sleeps in late, dances in the hallway...all those parts we sometimes take for granted. She even was able to attend a real (boring) class. We attended chemistry with Britt. We ended up playing tic tac toe, MASH (those results were amazing), this thing called dots, and finish the photo...that got us through all fifty minutes smoothly.

This night hit it's emotional peak when Tiffany suggested we watch the "Notebook." Now if you have seen this piece of work, you may already know where this is going...but this viewing was a little different from my previous sobfests with the fairy tale. BJ was present which mean narration in key points of the storyline....I happened to be drinking down a glass of blue Gatorade when Noah and Allie are first intimate in the old Windsor Plantation ....she decides to talk their thoughts as they undress...all I can remember is her making a comment about Allie's bush and I lost it.....I started choking on my juice and my eyes watered and yes some came through my nose...it was so damn funny. So andyway the end is just like it normally is and we passed around the tissues and cried and when I say cry I mean ball....and I guess that is what fantasy and folklore will do for you...sorry girls out there "Noah" isn't real.

After all the tears we were talking over the scenes and Tiffany says "If your a bird, I'm a rifle" Thank God no liquids we present...I laughed for about a half hour.

I suggested the "South Park Movie" and it was a go, so right now were listening to the uncle fucker song. Nice way to top off a wonderful night.

I am off to Battle Creek tomorrow to bring Delaney home....and then what will be will be.

My family arrives from New York Monday.

Ben Folds Monday night

Lucero Tuesday night

Will Hoge and a road trip to Chicago Friday

Easter eggs Sunday in the four x four with friends

"We can do it, its all up to us mmmkay."

So this will be my first attempt at journaling my first real blog, I am not sure how you go about this or how you begin so I attempted to gather ideas from others, as I am going through pages and pages of their lives, I realized that it is being yourself that will make your own.

So heres to hoping someone might find this as interesting as I find yours, maybe this will just be my own thing or maybe not.

Heres to not knowing...

I want to walk and not run

I want to skip and not fall

I want to look at the horizon

And not see a building standing tall
