My brain is rolling around in my head like a bee-bee in one of those box games. It’s keeping me awake tonight. So much is changing in the next couple of days. You already know about my upcoming job changes. The change from having a job to not having a job. Well, that doesn’t concern me as much as the vacuum after the job. What will I do with the spare time? Oh yeah, find another job!

Future Uncertain
It’s a strange a week ahead. It’s my last week at a job that I have been at for just short of 6 years. I made a place for myself there. It was comfortable, insulated, and I was doing things that I enjoyed. The week ahead will be filled with “last time” events. The weirdest part is that I have nothing lined up. Sure, I put in a a couple of resumes, but I doubt the depth of my interest in the jobs. When people ask what I plan on doing, I say easily “I don’t know.”
Happy New Year!
Well friends and family, we made one more trip around the sun and are beginning another. Glad to have you along for the ride. I celebrated the New Year quietly. Oh there were plans, but I let them take a back seat to another project. You might have noticed that the site has a new face. Yep, pathetically, I stayed home and worked on the site and fully indulged in movies. Not to worry, I toasted the New Year. I even fried a steak and smothered it in onions and mushrooms. Yum. (there was a salad in there, I think).
Mom & Pop Tour 2006: Week 2
Last week was laid back. This week has been busy. First, I am the enabler of my co-workers. Because this laptop belongs to work, I am checking my work email everyday. Not good. Second, my Mom and I have been running around Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. During this week, I have been to a mountain and walked a mile high swinging bridge. Then toured an historic TN town… twice! One tour was during the day and the next at night on a guided ghost tour. Today, we head to Asheville, NC and the Biltmore House. If I had insisted, we would have seen a cave in Virginia as well. I am going to tuckered out from vacation, but I am going to have a collection of images for the time. You can see those in other posts.
I am actually tuckered out. The next vacation I take will be in some place with beaches and no technology (okay, the second part is a stretch). Visiting with the family is good. It reconnects me to them and grounds me. I remember where I came from. With a rested mind, I can get a clearer sense of where I am going. With the free time, I was able to work on my website, add a lot of images, and see new things. The last is especially important for the visual mind. This last two weeks may get me motivated again to create some new works. If nothing else, it has gotten me a lot closer to family again.
I spend so much time away from them that I forget their mannerisms and tastes. Dad and I can sit in silence for hours and miles. We enjoy the same shows and have many of the same habits. Mom and I…well we are decidedly different animals. A little idle conversation always travels around the room. When I am in my introspective mind, I have a hard time wanting to come back out. A long drive with Mom reminds that not all the world can sit in silence like I can. She re-socializes me. Instead of sniping at her for a little quiet, I worked my way out of my “brood”. This was the time I wanted to spend with her. She just wanted to engage me.All said and done, I go home today a little tired, refreshed, and ready to see what is next.
First Edition
Welcome to the first edition of SHN Sex News. This is just an encapsulation of news stories that feature sex. You gotta love a free press, the Internet, and sweeps weeks. Much of this is fluff throw-in to keep readers/viewers around. Very little of it is Earth shattering news, but it is damn fun to read. What follows is a list and commentary from the Peanut Gallery. Check for new lists every Monday morning (what a way to start a week).
- Hooter’s Honeys Having Trouble Handing Outhttp://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_3987528It’s a crying shame when charities will cow-tow to conservative grinches. What charity can afford to turn away money? The best argument for those that squawk about the illicit source of donations is “Here’s the bill for the money lost. Please, pay the cashier at the door.”
- Penis Pumps are Medically Practicalhttp://www.slate.com/id/2144778/?nav=tap3It’s nice to know that because of one Oklahoma judge word is getting out about the medical usefulness of ‘vacuum constriction devices”. It’s not my bag, Baby. Really.
- Playboy to Privatizehttp://online.barrons.com/public/article/SB115111012429889617-RtzzWWNEl0bbQQ5x1NGsjFtSbbw_20060724.html
- After twenty-five years on the stock market (ticker: PLA), it looks like Heff (he let’s me call him that) will be pulling the shares. Flagging profits from the last several years are cited as the reason for the change. I’m sure the boys on the floor will miss the traders in their Bunny suits and blonde hair. Sigh.Related article: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/06-26-2006/0004387020&EDATE=
