THats right, it's time yet again!! Ready yourselfs my friends, this year, its bigger, badder, bolder.. and camping is available to my favorite friends. Come early and pitch a tent :)
For so long i have refrained from saying what is on my mind in fear that i will dissapoint those i care for so much.
:::[30.June.09]:::
Why is it after lunch my ambition bombs out.. it's like when i'm tired i can't make my mind want to do anything. That mid-day lull is killer. But i find when i'm sleepy theres more to tackle. Logic and courage seems to take back burner to a sleepy mind, emotional desire seems to take precidence. Things that, for the short term, FEEL better seems to be the right answer. I've always put so many peoples hopes and dreams over mine? Why.. cause everything will work out wont it? i need to learn to be a bit more responsible for what i have control of. I think it'll make so many that much happier. The only reason i havent been so vocal is fear that being vocal might cause waves in my potluck.
Never did i do anyone justice when i have no direction, when i'm not trying to reach for what i want. I was the kid waiting till everyone went round the potluck and just eat what was left.. i shouldnt expect people to guess what i'd prefer, let alone expect them to leave me any. No wonder i get frustrated when things dont work out. wheres MY brownie?? I need to be assertive and at least reach for my brownie, and maybe then could i make others happy for real.
Now this is all easier said than done. Imagine never putting your ideas first, letting the weather dictate when you will be outside, then, make the descision that it really would be best to at least be more vocal. How do you go about that? what do you say? It's like always sitting passenger and then decideing, fuck it, i'll drive.. buttons, wheel, pedals.. its overwhelming. If theres one thing i know from lunch, overwhelmed is a great state of mind to be in when you dont wanna try.. but being overwhelmed because you want to? conundrum. Like a chinese finger trap. And like those it's a matter of RELAXing.. the light will come quickly if you sleep through the night.

Comps With the release of Fallout 3 i finally had a reason to upgrade and get a better computer :) Luckily one just so happened to fall in my lap :)
bikes I finished my chopper. But i'm sure everyone is now wondering why i havent been riding it? well i finished it right before that 1st snow we had. that snow was hard and stuck. i wasnt gonna ride till spring so i figured thats one great time to do some custom work. I wanted to move the fuel petcock to a lower location on the tank, giving me more out of each tank. When your tank holds 1.5 gallons, not being able to reach that last half gallon is a big deal. One of my step cousins was recommended by a local bike shop as someone that could do this.. 4 months later (well into the good spring riding weather) i finally got it back.. i say "it" because it wasnt a tank anymore, and that chunk of slag wouldnt even fit on the bike anymore.. let alone get gas to the engine. i was pissed. So now i'm tankless. But thanx to the kikker nation I got to meet up with a few people to look into different gas tank options and even have jforbes going to bat for me and getting me a stock tank. I was thinkin about putting a harley peanut tank on , but the time, mods, and $$ that woulda needed to be done far outweighed a basic stock tank. i just wanna ride. so hopefully by next week i'll be back on the road.
balloonatic I rode one. Some things in life you only get one shot at. Don't pass it up.
New galleries: Wicker Basket at 2000 feet..
kites - Its amazing what something so simple can teach. No matter how much you pull, tug or even ingeniously design a wind machine, really a kite will only fly when the winds are right. The moment they are, the flight is effortless.
SO maybe i do make shit harder than it needs to be, but theres one thing i learned in life.. and that go at your own pace. Water never struggles to get downhill, it goes as fast as it needs to. Keep things easy. Take your time. Enjoy the process. Stress is harmful. If you ever feel likke its not working just let go. Fly a kite, remember how it should go.

Reverend Andy, at your service. I am now officially Ordained. ya. no kidding.. i am just as amused. Marry and Bury. Exorcise and Baptise. So the story is basically that a great friend of mine is getting married.
Its going to be a very high Juju, low key and close knit wedding, and they asked ME to do the ceremony.. :| ... :D YA!!, i said without thinking..
"I want it to be something heartfelt and sincire, what better than a good friend bringing us together.. "Ya!" i kept saying.. It was unsure whether i was qualified or not, but i was to do the service regaurdless.
Last nihgt i got a call from the Hubby to Be, "dude.. turns out for the state to recognize htis as legit we have to get you ordained.." "ya!!" i blurted out..
"so your down?" "Ya!!".. "alright good!, cause you've been a Reverend for about a week, i just wanted to make sure you were cool with it!".. "shhhhyeaaah!!! BOYyeeee!"
I even get a clergy park permit. So let me know if you need me to Vanquish demons, pour a 40 over your new baby, christen a ship, or bury your pet. :)
I was up way late last night after celebrating my new fatherhood, and in a moment of pure compulsory consumerism, i bought wasteland Radios.. perfect for a Bug Out bag. Not that i think you care about my new flashlight, but the bug out concept is interesting, as well as a good idea; keep a bag of emergency "lets bail" neccesities in case the chemical depot takes a dump or hanford has a conniption fit.
Saturday, me, Jyn, and shaggy went and played LaserTag which was mad fun, i'd never done it before, played my share of paintball and war games.. but not lasertag. There was about 10 adults total and an army of kneehigh hobbits. We had a blast, and the shire was ours. It really got me thinkin.. why dont we do more of this!! So i looked into Airsoft, and Paintball, Nerf games and even some of the old classics like Kick the Can and Capture the Flag:) I paticularly like the Humans versus Zombies game.. Where a team of humans try to survive the Zombie Outbreak. If tagged by a zombie, you drop weapons and join their undead ranks. If you are human and shoot a zombie they have to "freeze" for a 20 count. :) last human living wins. I'm seeing we can get bulk Nerf darts for cheap online ;)

Happy Birthday Peter!!: A Very Merry Unbirthday TO YOU!!
People are complex. We all have many sides to us that are attractive and others that are not so. Everyone has there upsides, and darksides too. I can think of a handful of people that i'd trust about any given skill needed, but each of them has other things they lack at. I've got friends that can SHred at guitar, but i'll be damned if i'm gonna let em near my bike engine with a wrench. Others, i'd be releived to know they are under my hood, but taking their advice on health advice might come with a grain of salt. etc. Everyone has something to offer, sometimes many things just depending on the perspective of who needs help. But, as a grown man, its up to me to discern what advice to take, and what to leave in my wake. I could be judgemental, and neglect all the great information thats is being offered, and focus my attention on some dark side of that coin that we all have. Why waste all that musical talent that is being offered, all because the guy sharing it does a line of coke from time to time. Sometimes its just part of the package. Every cat has claws.

Sometimes in life you just gotta do something dangerous. Tempt fate a bit. Keep that blade of life sharp; drive fast, skydive, get in a fight, drink a liquor with a black mamba in it :) You never really know what might happen so live life to the fullest.
I find myself trying to pack all the thoughts that seem to come at me in bursts when i actually get a sec to update this. I think my hands are on a different time plane then my mind.. what a conundrum.
I had a great weekend. Spent alot time with the girl i care most about, and got to hang out with some good oldskool friends. It's always cool to find that some of the "biggest" moments arent the one's that you'd planned for, sometimes its about the right peice of cherry pie or a wrong turn down gibbon road. HajiBababa:)..

Sometimes we all need a superhero
I really should get a tattoo of an ethernet jack below my ear. Lately my ventures have been so computer related its been almost daunting. Web site construction, fixing boxes, building laptops, selling others, NAS construction and even buying the cusp of the new tech wave. I must say, i'm jealous cause jyn's new laptop, the hp mini 1030 is SICK!! and it makes me wanna sell mine.. But really, thats a pattern that if i get into, i'll never actually USE a device, only consistantly upgrade. All up, i really feel like i've been repairing the world :) It's been busy lately but by choice, even my freetime has been circuited and bitted & byted.
So wanna talk nerdness? I just finished making my eeepc all that it can be. Totally usable and every function i can think of is working (short of a rebrth like 303 emu :)) ok.. now the nerdy part.. I'm seriously considering trying out another OS on it,
like ubuntu or eeebuntu that are supposedly way cooler than the default Xandros OS. BUT i did all that work!!!,.. Now, i'm sure some of you uber NERDS are saying "livecd!!!!"
as am i.. :) a livecd is the easiet way to test drive an OS without damaging or comprmising any installed data. in the case of an eeepc, let alone many netbooks have no cd drive.
install a LiveCD to a bootable ThumbDrive!! :) so my project now is to try out 3 different OS's than what i currently have.. if i fall in love, then my dear Xandros may be facing the axe.. but i can't say that it hasnt been a blast and a serious learning curve:)
Push yourself daily.. Do something you either are afraid to, or have never done.
Stories galore pour from moments like these, and thanx to finally geting my laptop into a fully functional USABLE machine, I am really kinda stoked to start writing agin, and finishing the tale of our dusty friends that seek the darkest corner of the apoc world. Let alone been having a blast playing Spirit of the Century, with the NerdLeague. *talk about success of a mailing list.. whew*

Shes not prego, this is just hilariously random :)
Ringfinger: I drive to portland, this has been an ongoing thing, we talk, text continue contact, but i'm looking for an answer to a question that has been holding me tightly in the position i've been standing in. we in, we out, thumbs up? or thumbs down? yay or nay? Within moments after arriving a rush of emotions not felt anyother place on the planet engulf the senses.. Fingers trace her jawline as I pinch myself. Heres a face i could never forget, yet i could spend decades trying to memorize.
The weekend was a blast, not only was the answer i needed there, but in such magnitude it almost bowled me over. Still buzzing, we reunited like stars colliding, 2 days passed and my grin hasn't faded. The call was a shock to everyone that got it. Tami Huff was gone. Heart problems from an accident 9 years ago finally beat her. Jennilyn already had bought a train ticket, i told her i'd be there to pick her up.
What started as a few days of mourning, turned into an entire week of passion on all fronts. Near the end, tangled in arms and legs, breathing souls,
words weaved into a web too strong to be anything fanciful and fantasy. "Can I keep you?".. "Really?".. "Really."
"i always thought you were kidding". *digging through pirate treasure i find the smallest trinket that fits my pinky, on her its loose, but holds fast.
Does that look like i was kidding :)? .. *she flutters her eyes and rocks like a drunk.*
The hows and when's have been the biggest question left unanswered for time will tell these things, but the what was the question i believe we both needed. I think we both may have hesitated before, unsure if the other would call if we ante'd up. You'll never win big if you don't play big.
On another note: I think a huge defining moment in the transistion between childhood and adulthood, is when naps cease to be a dreaded idea, and start becoming something to anticipate. When cookies and naps go from far opposing ends of "WOOHOO!" spectrum to basically the same team, face it, you're older now. :)

i think we evolved faster than our host.. we have circumceeded the planet and evolve faster than she can provide. it is our evolutions greatest feat.. yet greatest folley. .. but if it wasnt us.. it would be one of our other primeval brothers.
In life there are those in pursuit and those being pursued. its healthy to have balance of both in your life. Having both the strength of the hunt and the abilty to evade capture.. but its also heathly to have both something in your sights as well being sought after. i am worth being the object of the chase too..
I was thinking the other day.. really heavily actually. What happened between Mad Max 1 and the Road Warrior? i mean max watched
civilization collapse around him. survived it.. whats the story of the ripped sleeve? when did the shotgun get cut?
how did he meet dog??? when did he add the charges to the gas tank?:) All stories i'm intrigued to know.. and something i would pay heavy money to watch a prequil of.

This weekend was a wild ride of ups and downs. Building new memories and feeling the pang of old memories of times past.
Seems like everyday within hours my time is booked solid. This weekend we were blessed with a blanket of snow yet again. roadtrips turned into catching rides. Quick runs to the store became, postponed chores for later. SO plans changed a bit, but as some things cancelled, others rose in their place to excite anew :)
The Backbone: The main plan of the weekend, SevenDust was opening for Disturbed in Kenniwick this weekend. Even the bands said it.. the energy here beats even the bigger mega cities. It was a riot of energy, complete with wristband piracy and merchandise theivery. :) I came home smelling of 16 fat brickworkers and just beat from keeping my tiny ass alive in the pit. but it paid off. I got closer than many to the bands, even got to knock knuckles with Lajon Witherspoon, fastest way to the front? Take the HighWay.. crowd surf baby.
That night was unforgettable, with tim, tammy, ryan and crew it was a blast.
This next morning i woke late, the night before still buzzing through my head.. but i had another plan.. "my secret project" had a vital step to be done.. and low and behond with arms reach was a friend that could help!! i shall soon, unleash the demonseed i have been incubating all winter. ;) after that was done, i had many things to clean up, insulation is on the way to my house so i needed to clear a path.. this had me diving through old postcards and boxes of trinkets of my past. left me feeling empty and ill. Between talks with an amazing friend, and just fun companions i had new stories building and new perspective to remind me how good the things are that we had once.. and not to forget, but never regret. tide in, tide out.

"We have our civilization, our personal plans, our own petty emotions. We divorce ourselves from process, even as we yearn for love, companionship, understanding and communion. We constantly defeat ourselvesby questioning, asserting ourselves at the wrong times, or letting hatred or pride cloud our perceptions. Our alienation is self-generated.
In the meantime, all of nature continues its constant flow. We need to let ourselves go, enter freely into the process of nature, and become absorbed in it. If we integrate ourselves with that process, we will find success. Then the sequence of things will be evident as the coming of the sun and the moon, and everything will be as it should be. "

Web Chain Wallets.
I used to rock a chain wallet. in fact it was something i picked up from my dads friends when i was younger. They wore them cause on a rocked back, hardtail chopped bike, your ass was kicked up at an angle as you thundered around corners on a vibrating 1200 cubic inch Shovelhead.
Wasnt a bad idea, considering any length of time on a machine horse and your wallet is bound to work its way out and leap for its death on the asphalt sea below the stern. Made sense to me, that and i was so damned wound up i was trying to do flips off walls and climbed anyth9ing that stood in front of me long enough to pose a challenge.
That wallet was an inevitable loss, to join its brethren my glasses, retainers and pagers, whitch were sacrificed at the river to the void that belongs to the elemental gods like water. But, THere was hope , teathering the wallet to me with a link of cord or even badder lookin.. chain, in hopes that at the inevitable escape of my wallet, it wouldnt go far for the retrival of the fugitive.
Why did i stop wearing one? This takes us back to the rockin days of 90's american corperate takeover of the public high schools. At one point my chain was pointed toward "gang relations" HAHHAHAahaaa.. and also "improvised weaponry on hand" or whatever technical excuse they had. It was the days after the institution forced me to unleash myself and disarm my silver embelishment, that i lost my wallet. dammit.
Why did not put it back on? beats me.. guess i got used to it. yeesh. And this is yet another reason i love the net. In my quick search for wallets that support the chain tether, as well as chains themselves.. i found theres quite a market for these. In fact theres an almost undercurrent of society (much like any underground society) that crafts and peddles them, as well as dons them. During my search i sumbled on http://weblog.failure.net/, and was quickly intrigued.
This is what to me the internet is all about.. its not so much about the posted sites that are advertised on the net "click here for shoes" , but people. people with personal ideas. in this case someone had wrote up about their thoughts on wallet chains as well as his story of his own quest across the planescape that is cyberspace.
At one point he even is giving his personal review of the 2 online peddlers he found and how they rated. "i finally narrowed it down to two sites. my favorite (www.walletchain.net) had much cooler choices, but they were in south korea and their english wasn't so great. it made me a bit worried about their legitimacy. i was getting ready to go with my second choice (www.amigaz.com), then i saw that walletchain.net was selling their wares on ebay. they had a lot of positive scores and comments and very few negatives or neutrals, so i decided they were probably legit."
Not only did my discovery lead me to 2 sites that harbor the wares i seek.. but opened my up to a whole cache of information. This kid has written on a multitude of subjects.. much like i do in my odd outbursts and rants.. its certainly not a diary is it?
Now, if i do this.. and this kid does it, imagine what other possibilities you could find by searching or "spidering" the OH-so_baddass cyberspeak term for crawling from link to link surfing the personal interconnections of the web-Admin's site.
yes. when datajacks are available to be wetworked into your cranial mainframe.. i will be one of the first in line. :)

Last night i was up late dreaming of wonderful things, woke up feeling groggy and oblivious to my suroundings.. i had to work today so it was a typical run of protocol.
Putting on my shoes was easier now, thanx to all the snow melting i was able to wear something other then mud stomping boots. I was popping on one shoe when a ruthless crash came from out front. *rolling my eyes* wtf was that?... I stood hanging out my front door staring at this "widowmaker", A gigantic branch that fell from the heavens and wedged itself ominously in the tree just above my driveway threatening anyone who dares venture beneath it, it had finally crashed down seemingly diving between the wires i would have thought been ripped down for sure.
I took my shoes of and dug my boots back out, leaving a trail of size 10 footprints between downtown and my house..

Happy Solstice to all.. and to all a Long night.
Christmas or Christ's Mass is one of the most popular Christian celebrations as well as one of the most globally recognized midwinter celebrations. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the God Incarnate or Messiah, Yeshua of Nazareth, later known as Jesus Christ. The birth is observed on December 25, which was the winter solstice upon establishment of the Julian Calendar. Banned by the Catholic Church in its infancy as a pagan practice stemming out of the Sol Invictus celebrations,[9] Christian churches eventually recognized the sustained practices as a Christian festival in various cultures within the past several hundred years, allowing much of the folklore and traditions of local pagan festivals to be preserved. So today, the old festivals such as Jul, ...... and Karácsony, are still celebrated in many parts of Europe, but the Christian Nativity is now often representational as the meaning behind the holiday. This is why Yule and Christmas are considered interchangeable in Anglo-Christendom. Universal activities include feasting, midnight masses and singing Christmas carols about the Nativity. Good deeds and gift giving in the tradition of St. Nicholas by not admitting to being the actual gift giver is also observed by some countries. Many observe the holiday for twelve days leading up to the Epiphany. Read More here..
