Tax Free Weekend means SHOPPING BINGE!!!

Ok, now Im back in black. Damn Clearchannel didn't send my check untill this morning, when they normally send it the night before. It's here, thats all I care about. I brought along the checkbook, cause the cell phone is up today. Im biding time untill tomorrow. Here in the El Paso/ Las Cruces area, we have a Tax-Free weekend for back to school supplies, including clothes. Tomorrow officially kicks off the weekend and I want to go shopping at JC Pennys so I don't get charged the taxes on the card. The more money I save the better.

Im not verry good at suffering fools. The idiots... no that is too nice, the fucking dunderpates at the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce had really dragged us at the radio station around the ground thinking we booked them and Fort Bliss' top brass for a special function of theirs. I denied them access to the radio airwaves uninvited. The woman that had said she booked us, booked her and her guests on KTSM TV, and they thought it was radio. I guess they figured it out when they didn't see any cameras in the small studio...

I did call her back and make sure that things were ok. She is a wreck, but she is also blaming others, and not herself. I blame her completely. It made us seem like there was a lack of communication on our side, when it was all on her side for not corraling these nit-wits like she should have done...

Im at peace, I found my center. I am one with the moment, you own it, you never let it go... Ooops, wrong moment.

WAKE UP, YOU LAZY SACK OF BONES!!!

Those weren't the words I woke up to, but thats what was going thru my mind this morning as I raced the truck to the station. I got here on time but not without breaking the law by about 20mph. Who'd have thunk that the truck could go so fast? Im already planning my shopping spree this weekend. I have several bills to pay, but I will have enough for some personal spending. My check doesn't come in untill tomorrow... I don't know if I can hold out. Mark Ross is in for Greg today, and already there are whiners and complainers complaining about how news is presented. Boo-hoo. Cry me a river. Get over it. I need to focus on the show.

I need serenity

I guess it was last night's episode of Monster House on the Discovery Channel that got me thinking. I want to repaint my walls. They are a boring icebox white. My old room I painted a bone white that looked like murky-milk white. I want to get away from white, and off-white. I guess I want Martha Stewart's paint schemes to explode in my room and make it alot less ordinary. Nothing exraordinary like Day Glow Green, or Desperate Hooker Lipstick Maroon, but something soothing to the eyes like a darker color of blue, but not green. Maybe an earthen color like a dark moss, or maybe a faux rust finish...

COULD SOMEONE CALL BOB VILLA FOR ME?

The following blog was written on my Panasonic Toughbook while waiting for the repairs to the brakes.

1:08pm
So here I sit in the lobby of the Firestone dealer in town, waiting for the car to be serviced. It’s said I will be here for a good 1 ½ to 2 hours tops for the brakes.

2:07pm
Alright, it’s now been one hour since sitting down in the lobby. The guys at Firestone have told me that I have one rotor that is gone bad and the other is salvagable. The cost of the brake service has also increased from $79.99 to $163 and change. Hunger pangs have been torturing me for about a half hour. I still have 87% battery life left in the Panasonic. I power down when I don’t need the battery, just to conserve. I wish I did that with the cell phone, it’s dead…

2:39pm
One of the things I have noticed about the way some people drive as I sit here and watch people pass, is there are what I call the Type A and Type B people. The Type A people drive as if they have the entire day to get to where they want to go. The Type B people need to be back somewhere at a certain time, and almost always are behind a Type A. I saw that instance about 3 minutes ago when a Type B person almost hit a Type A. Oblivious to the near wreck, Type A puttered along like nothing. Most times, Type A’s drive larger vehicles like Taurus, Explorer, Suburban & Tundra. Most Type B’s drive Kia, Cavalier, Civic and Metro. I fall into the Type B category myself, and next time you are on the road, see who is usually in a larger hurry to get somewhere, the person driving the Tahoe or the one driving the Neon… I have 74% battery life left.

3:04pm
You can tell by the frequency of my updates to this blog how incredibly bored I am. One thing I have noticed about the Panasonic since Im using the batteries on it is the screen is incredibly bright, as if it were plugged in. Normally, laptops will dim their screens to save on power. Mine for some reason, will pop in and out of this mode. I at least have this luxury for now. It’s also eating up a lot of power. They just called me for my car. I now have 55% juice left.

Now, Im at home. The brakes work great. Im out more money I care to announce. The laptop worked well without its power cord. I still won't have my car tomorrow. My dad will use it to go to dialysis cause he threw out his back, and doesn't want to shift gears and outreach more than he wants.

Enjoy voyeurs.

Thanks for the memories...

Im freezing my nipples off! They are perky, and pointy, and why the hell am I saying this? It's an icebox in here. I brought the truck today, cause I have to save my Cavalier's brakes for the drive to the shop for replacment. Don't know where to go at this point, but Im swaying towards the dealer again after my complete satisfaction with the transmission. Damn Im cold, I think Im going to unplug the network connection and embrace my laptop so I can get the warmth of the processor...

Hmmm, who'd have thought that someone would be so happy to see a Pentium 166mhz?
