The RNC (to be continued)
I knew that there were going to be problems. I knew that some of my friends were going to be arrested. But apparently, I am much more naive than I care to admit. I did think that the authorities would actually wait until people started acting up or the convention started. In retrospect, I am a fool.
Friday night I was happily sipping wine, nibbling exotic cheeses and playing games. All very civilized. Had I not been invited to the party, I would have been at my usual haunt. And likely would have been in trouble with the police. Seems they decided to cordon off the block where the coffee shop is and harass everyone. Searching people randomly and without cause. Taking several people into custody for insidious crimes like loitering. One of my pals who is far to old, uptight and lazy to be involved with any of the hullabaloo left the café during the mess to head to work. One of the cops followed him several miles away, to his place of employment and harassed him in the parking lot in front of his co-workers. Fun! He is pissed because he feels he is being harassed simply because of where he likes to get his cup of joe.
Last night a garage band concert was raided and another handful of folks were arrested and charged with 'conspiring to riot.' Ditto at a number of activist houses where doors were busted in, a dog shot and heads cracked in all in the interest of stopping the protests that haven't even started yet.
Seems like they are expecting something to happen on the highway as well. On the 5 mile route to the drive-in yesterday there were 8 highway patrol cars lined up on my side of the highway and 5 more on the other. Today there were 12 all in a row on my way to Hard Times. For the next week or so I really should rethink what I am carrying in the back of my truck. I can only imagine what fun I will have explaining the items in my metal gun case and damn will I be pissed if they confiscate them.
Woohoo! Let the chaos begin. Anarchy rules!
Things are just getting started…
That being said, my home computer is dead so until I have the time and money to fix it, my computer access is limited to the time I spend at the coffee shop. So, if you don't hear from me for a while it may be due to the computer or it may be due to my deciding to visit to a cozy jail cell for a few days.

Scene at the gym
yep! it finally happed. I snapped on one of the idiots at the gym.
Jackass greeted me today by walking up to me and slapping my ass while saying "Hey baby!"
?!?
Within moments I had hold of him and was about to slam him into the wall before realizing that the mirrors might shatter. At the last instant I opted for the machine I had been working on instead. Mirror would have probably hurt him less, being flat, rather than the sharp corners of the equipment. Oh well. *shrug*
WTF would make someone think this is an appropriate way to greet someone they don't know? much less me?
I crawl out of bed first thing in the morning, chug a protein shake while the mutt is outside, then throw on my $5 Kmart sweat pants, a ragged old t-shirt that is three sizes too big and run out the door. I don't even brush my teeth until I am done with my workout. I look pretty damned ragged the whole time I am there. Hell, even on my best days I've been known to look rather raggedy so I just don't get it.
and really, even if I was a cute young thing, it is a pretty fucking ridiculous way to say 'hello' to someone you have been calling the wrong name for the last two months.
with any luck perhaps I managed to make a big enough ass out of myself that I can resume my workouts in peace, without interruption. I do believe I was quite loud enough to get everyone's attention…

Laughter burns ~200 cals/hr
Twenty-eight days ago, a couple people I know approached me about being their personal trainer. They would pitch in and renew my lapsed gym membership if I would workout with them and teach them what to do. Awesome! I love my gym and couldn't afford to go so, even though it meant dragging my ass out of bed at 5:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, I jumped at the chance.
Ha! One person didn't even last a week ("You make me work too hard…") The other quit last night. ("I'm not seeing any results and don't have time for this…" yeah, like an hours and a half in the gym was going to cancel out years of sloth in just a few weeks. And let's not even discuss how well she was following the eating plan…) So, yea! I now have my membership paid for and get to go at a much more reasonable hour of the day.
That alone put me in a good mood as I drove there this morning but the miscellaneous antics of the others at the gym kept me chuckling though my entire time there.
Mr. I-need-four-weightlifters-to-help-me-get-my-shorts-on was back. I always find the twenty-minute dressing routine to be worth quite a number of giggles. Today I suggested he find some high school bullies to help with the super-wedgie he was in need of. Only one of us was amused. *shrug*
Then there was the beefy guy who forgot to finish putting the weights on his bar. Just as I walked past he tried to start the bench press with 100 on one end of the bar and only 45 on the other. That was ugly and ended up with me tossing my stuff to the ground and grabbing the bar he was twisted underneath. Instant 'in' for me with the 10 a.m. crowd along with loads of teasing for 'space case.' Ha!
My favorite part though was the gym owner training a new member. Oh so mean but still it was amusing as hell to watch. Had it been anyone other than the owner I likely would have intervened – as it was I had a hard time refraining. The new member is vision impaired and it seems that he cannot see at all. Dan has apparently never worked with someone who is blind before. While leading him through the gym he kept taking short cuts and running this man straight into pieces of equipment head on. Kaplow! He would hold out a handle for the man without saying a word and smack the poor guy right in the nose with it (at least three times). Bang! Another time he went to hand him a free weight but before the new member could get its orientation and a proper grip on it Dan let go and it fell on the guy's foot. Smash!
Okay, I'll admit that I may be desensitized by years of violent cartoons as a child and even so a big part of me wanted to intervene. The thing that stopped me in the end was that the guy never said a word about any of it. Just sat there with one hand holding his nose and the other clutching his toes. Amazing! Maybe he thinks this is why we all complain about being sore the next day after a workout… I'll be shocked if he ever shows up again.
Finally, to keep the theme of the day right up to the end, when Gary went to make me my protein drink as I was ready to leave he was too busy chatting and forgot to put the lid on the blender and sent protein, cocoa, banana and milk flying all over the place including the paperwork he had out. Oops!
Yep! I can see I will like to workout out even more now. These guys are a riot!

Wow- more stupid drama
I don't like to play games. I can be patient. I can be professional. I can be polite. I can, on occasion, even be friendly. Generally I go out of my way to avoid pettiness, cruelty and using other people although I must admit that some days I am sorely tempted.
There is a local kink group that I am a member of. They have regular bimonthly meetings that I have avoided for the last couple months due to pettiness and bickering that has been evident amongst the group. I had nothing else going on tonight and wanted to get out of my house for a bit so I decided to attend and see if things had died down.
I am so glad I did.
Turns out that I have been, at least indirectly, an active topic of conversation. Seems that in another lame attempt to get my attention the ex has been toying with various women in the community. Lying, playing games and using them to get his foot in the door and find out about me.
Great.
Just this morning I was telling someone that I hadn't had an honest-to-goodness stalker in a few years.
WTF?!?
If he had been willing to spend one-tenth of this effort on trying to make things work when we were still together we might have been able to salvage something. Now he keeps fucking shit up for me. Ass!
Why is it so many people wait until it is too late?
Dumb fuck.
I hate drama and now he is just pissing me off by casually hurting the feelings of people who fall much closer to the 'like' end of the continuum than he ever will.
I'd kill him but now I won't even get the life insurance money…

Miscellaneous stuff
They have to be some of the most irritating things ever.
Created by some loser who wasn't smart enough to write a real computer virus so he has all of you swamping your family and friends with this shit instead.
Really.
You are irritating enough as it is.
Don't make me delete you.
~~~~~~~~~
Love how some fuck can threaten to kill the pets, never visits or 'babysits' them so I can go on vacation but then whines like a three-year-old when he stops by to remove the last of his stuff and they ignore him completely. Ran away when he tried to approach.
Bye-bye stereo.
Hello free space!
~~~~~~~~~
I have apparently found a cure for insomnia. Work two jobs with two hours at the gym in between. Within a week I find I can sleep anywhere, any time.
Maybe I'll take a nap on the john later to save some time.
~~~~~~~~~
Oh, and a special tip just for my neighbor: you will probably have better luck selling your rusty old snow blower if you don't try to do it when it is 90 degrees out.
~~~~~~~~~
Most of you know by know that I don't normally kill bugs. If they stay out of reach I leave them alone entirely. If they insist on crawling around in my space I usually take them outside.
Yesterday I was sitting outside waiting for someone to come jumpstart the truck and a wasp flew up and hit me in the side of the head. I laughed. Silly wasp couldn't see me sitting here. That must have pissed one of them off because it flew over and stung my cheek. Ok fine. Apparently I was in their space. I got up and moved. No problem.
When I got home in the evening the little bastards were waiting to attack me. I think they even called in reinforcements. As I was unlocking my front door eight of the fuckers stung me. They were not stopping either. Shaking various body parts would not remove them (although I am sure it was quite comical to anyone who could see) I had to pick them off one by one and later spent more time removing a couple stingers.
Happily it turns out I am not allergic but I am mad.
I now have enough wasp and hornet spray to recreate Auschwitz one-thousand fold.
Bring it on!
~~~~~~~~~~~
For those of you who have my personal email, I had to change my address because of issues with Comcast. Seems the ex gets them. My new one is easy enough, add an 'm' to the front and switch the I's to 1's. If that makes no sense, just drop me a line and I can actually spell it out for you but I didn't find an easy way on here to send it to just the people I already know and want to have it so this shall have to do for now. After tomorrow though the old one will not come to me so don't bother to send anything unless you want to chat with my ex for some reason.
~~~~~~~~~
I am off to catch a couple hours of sleep.

Some things never change
Soon after I turned 18, I waited for my parents to leave for work one morning and, as soon as they were gone, started loading my car full of stuff and moved out. I had no intention of telling them where I was going or how to reach me.
I expected them to pitch anything I left behind but they did not and a couple years later I went over to remove the rest of it. At that time, I noticed a couple of my favorite things were missing (they were faves but not necessities; they didn't go with the first time). I suggested there was another box and was assured that I had everything. I figured the items had been tossed and were gone for good.
This morning I was informed that the non-existent, missing box had surfaced over the weekend. 20+ years later I got my goodies back. Yearbooks, animal knickknacks, and my very favorite, my old jewelry box, full of treasures.
Mom decided to take a peek.
She wishes she hadn't.
Sure, I have always loved jewelry.
The gaudy, sparkly stuff
and there were a couple rhinestone necklaces and some flashy earrings.
But, more importantly, it housed my skull collection.
Lots of skulls, from lots of critters, amassed from years spent out in the woods.
Oh yeah, and my penis whistle that says, appropriately enough, "Blow me," on it.
and I have been
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
oh, for the record, it was not my behind that needed assistance to squeeze into a pair of shorts. Other than my corsets, which I need someone to help lace up, I am able to wiggle into all of my clothes just fine, even the latex and rubber ones.

Yet another survey
You might think I have nothing else to do with the time spent on yet another long survey but that would be wrong. I do sometimes fill them out as a result of insomnia but more often than not I am doing them as a way to procrastinate.
Besides they are fun and allow me an outlet for my oversized ego...
What did you want to be when you grew up?
a detective, a doctor, a scientist
In what way do you wish your childhood was different?
my childhood sucked in a lot of ways and I have only a few good memories from that time and yet I don't think I'd change a thing because to do so would change who I am now, and that is pretty awesome.
Did you want to move out of your parent's house as soon as you could?
yep, and I did so too even though it meant having three jobs
Is there somebody you wish you could be with right now?
sure but it is a one sided thing so what can one do…
Is there one thing you want that you know you will never have?
yes, yes there is
Have you ever wished someone would just die?
far more often that I would like to admit
What's one thing you would change about yourself right now?
ummm…I'd like to be someone who had a nice stockpile of cash. Otherwise I am good.
Do you wish you were somewhere else?
I could go for a change but am not quite willing to give up my responsibilities and commitments yet although it has been tempting me quite a bit lately.
Would you want to be extremely rich or extremely smart?
I am already pretty smart and it just gets me into trouble. Give me the money!
Are you in the field of the career you always wanted?
for the most part
What do you want for dinner tonight?
I'd love sushi or a big ol' steak but instead I will be having a can of tuna and some broccoli.
What do you want to happen tomorrow?
hmmm…let's see…I'll wake up next to a hot love muffin. We'll have hours of passionate sex that will only be interrupted by Ed McMahon banging on the door with my giant winning lottery check. Then I'll make a few phone calls to find someone to care for all the critters and book airline tickets out of the country. After that? Who knows! Instead, I'll be happy to make it through the day without any major catastrophies.
Do you ever wish you could be numb to emotions?
yes, and when really pressed, I can be
Who do you wish was still in your life?
I have a few friends I miss but I was obviously mistaken about our friendship so it's all good.
Is there someone you'd do anything for to ensure their happiness?
yes
What is a hobby or pastime you wish you'd pick up?
I'm seriously considering sword fighting classes (Iaido). If I can scrape together the funds, I will be doing it.

great! No problems at all
Last person to call you?
ex
Last person to text you?

Does anyone like you as more than a friend?
