Very important day.

I would like to say, don't forget to vote today.

2008-10-18T07:48:00.003-05:00

They made us put up our Christmas stuff at work...two and a half months before hand. Why is it such a crime to let the demons and ghost celibate their day first before we start pulling in the Christmas stuff.

Come to think of it no one buys all the crap until the beginning of November any how.

I just love Halloween , it happens to be my favorite holiday.

2008-10-14T23:42:00.002-05:00

I wish I had an eyeball in the middle of one hand. That way I could look with one hand and use the other to shave the back of my own neck.

2008-09-19T11:35:00.002-05:00

I noticed I was out of gas so I didn’t get far. I had to take to foot again.

I think I had gotten a head start on the Kangaroos however and that was all I needed at the moment.

I ran to the safest place I could think of, the school down the street. When I got there, much to my relief I found that the door was opened. I went inside and locked the door behind me.

I hurried into the gym where I planed to wait out the night there. Just before I turned on the lights I noticed the glow of their tinny little eyes. How was it possible the kangaroos had gotten there before I did?

I could see no way out of this one.

2008-09-19T11:35:00.001-05:00

My teeth hurt real bad, it makes me oh so sad. The drugs make the pain not so bad. Two weeks until my root canal ...that makes me glad.

2008-09-08T20:54:00.002-05:00

So Marcianne Got A chance to be on the news this last week. The ETSU Celtic band was invited to be on the twelve o'clock news to help talk about a Celtic festival that was in town this last weekend.

While ate the festival (were they played both Saturday and Sunday) they were asked to be on a radio program.

They guy who runs the radio show said that they have a big regional listener ship but also several hundred thousand in Canada, Japan and Norway. Marcianne and her band did a real good. It was fun to watch it all take place.

2008-09-05T12:45:00.001-05:00

I Looked into their eyes only long enough to see that they were blood red. I rolled out of bed onto the floor and out the bedroom door, where I got to my feet and ran. I heard them break though the windows just before the garage door shut behind me. I got into my car and headed down the street, I was safe…for now

2008-08-26T12:32:00.000-05:00

Jumping over fences, cars and even a fire hydrant or two, soon they were at my window, two dozen Kangaroos staring deeply into my eyes. Was this the end, or only the beginning?

2008-08-26T06:11:00.002-05:00

It was on a dark and stormy night. I lay there in bed looking out the window. Off in the distance I could see strange little lights. No I thought those aren't lights, those are eyes. The kangaroos were back and this time they meant business.

2008-07-20T19:10:00.000-05:00

The Kangaroos are watching The Sound Of Music.

2008-07-20T00:31:00.003-05:00

1:45 a.m. Sunday morning.

Sunday is going to be my lazy day (I hope). Monday I start my vacation. Joy

2008-07-17T18:16:00.001-05:00

11 more work hours and I am free for two full weeks.

2008-07-13T15:24:00.002-05:00

So i got under the car, took off the built, drained the oil, took of the oil cap only to discover I had the wrong filter.

No problem, I'll just take the bike to the store...aaaahhhhh, flat tire. Well I suppose I can use my little legs to get me down the road.

While walking back from a successful trip to the auto store the clouds start circling darker around me. That's okay a little rain never hurt.

Ten feet away from the car it starts. I draw out my filter and the sky draws out some heavyer rain drops. The race is on, can I get it done before it really starts coming down...Yes oil filter on and bang.

The sky opens up and in a matter of seconds I'm soaking wet with a big smile on my face knowing today something went right.

2008-07-13T08:17:00.003-05:00

I started a new story blog. If you get way bored check it out. It's the "Doorways" link on my page.

With that being said I really do need to change the oil before it rains.

2008-07-13T08:14:00.001-05:00

I'm about to change the oil in the car in preparation for the big trip. Just eight more days and We're heading out.

2008-07-10T21:48:00.001-05:00

The Kangaroos are all gone, but they left quit a mess. It may take a few days to clean everything up.

2008-07-10T13:25:00.001-05:00

Today is day 9 of 10 in a row. Just two more days this week. Then next week, then a nice long vacation.

2008-07-05T17:30:00.005-05:00

Don't look now, but I think the kangaroos are after us.

2008-07-05T17:30:00.003-05:00

Here I sit at work, bored stiff.

I have eaten up all the cookies and chips from our party that we had yesterday, all that's left is a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of mustered.

Maybe I can mix them together and snort it up my nose for a little fun. ...Never mind I think that would be too painful.

In two weeks, two days I get a vacation.

2008-07-02T20:41:00.000-05:00

3 Weeks and counting. I have not had a good vacation in some time.

2008-06-01T11:13:00.001-05:00

The count down has begun. Only 53 more days and I get to see my family.

2008-03-29T19:11:00.002-05:00

Her it is that moment where I can sit down and breath. Funny that it should come while I'm at work. It's pretty quite outside right now.
Not like last night when some drunk man came in with two pizzas for he said he bought for us.

Needless to say I chose not to partake when I saw him bent over one of the pizzas with both fist full of the stuff shoving it into his mouth like his life depended upon it. He told me he worked for 12 hours so he could buy the stuff. When I asked him where he worked he just said "Wherever I want to."

I had to kick him out because he was getting a little lose with the words he was using.

Wow, Life.

2007-11-07T14:38:00.000-05:00

October 29 1:14 P.M.

I was at my local Kroger, once again in search of the orange donut. I walked to the bakery like I had a dozen times before. Life was just life and I wasn’t really expecting anything much from it, but then it happened.

It was as if I was moving in slow motion, there it was, gleaming in all it orange glory. I pinched myself, twice, on each arm. I was not dreaming, and the angels I swear I could hear singing told me that this was indeed, real.

I wasted no time in stuffing two orange donuts into a small bag. I was so thrilled by the idea of having my orange donut that I may have run to the cash register,(that would explain all those strange looks).

I paid, I left, and I sat in my car and dove in. Reality set in, the clouds covered the sky as I bit into my lovely orange donut and found it stale, possibly two days old.

Oh well, no matter, I had my orange donut and there was no one in the world that could take that away from me.

2007-10-22T07:52:00.000-05:00

One evening in late September I feel asleep and dreamed about food. It was not just any food but an orange donut.

At the beginning of my dream I walked into the local Kroger and went to the donut rack. There, there were several donuts for the tasting. I saw one that head orange frosting on it. “Orange” I thought “it’s almost October which means its Halloween time I think that this is a perfect treat”.

So in my dream I got a donut and left the store. I woke up with such a craving for the orange donut I had to go get one. When I got to my local Kroger however, there was no orange donut. They had chocolate frosting, glazed donuts, maple donuts; they even had a few green frosting donuts with gummy worms. I figured it was still September I’m sure they’ll have some orange donuts later when October arrives.

Over the course of the next few weeks, every store I went in I looked but never was there a sign of an orange glazed donut. The University of Tennessee is just an hour down the road; there colors are orange and white. Everywhere you look you can see orange, T-shirts, stickers, lawn chairs, and even orange babies. I looked closer and many of the sweets are orange. They have orange cupcakes, orange pies; I think I even saw an orange wedding cake, but no orange donut.

Now it’s almost the end of the month, and still, no sign of the orange donuts. Is it too much to ask for, just one fifty cent orange donut?

If any of you should fall asleep and happen to have the truly terrifying dream of the orange donut, just keep in mind, they can’t hurt you because they are not real, they simply do not exist.

2007-10-15T14:14:00.000-05:00

I am now on my week long vacation from work. It's the first time off I have had in about three years. My time capped out on earning vacation so I thought I'd better take some time off. I feel so freeeeeeeeeee.

2007-09-30T18:07:00.000-05:00

It's almost a new month. I have worked hard at school. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH. Just like that.

2007-08-27T11:31:00.000-05:00

Back in school today. I think it will be better then I thought it would be. I was just so nervous to go today.

I think I can feel my hands again.

I may live after all.

2007-08-11T07:25:00.001-05:00

Temptation to fall asleep at work is very strong right now. But I'm sure that will change as soon as people get out of bed and come into the best shop in town.

2007-08-02T18:17:00.001-05:00

I have got my self all signed up for school. I very pumped.

Also I have a new blog just for fun.

2007-07-18T15:33:00.001-05:00

Into the darkness I ride with a sword in one hand and a jar of peanut butter in the other.

I am unstoppable.

2007-07-14T16:53:00.000-05:00

I think I forgot to shower today...and yesterday......I smell funny.

2007-07-07T17:59:00.000-05:00

There is something living in the crawl space of my house. I hear things at night.

2007-06-27T19:00:00.001-05:00

I would like my feet to take me home, but sometimes they take me other places.

2007-06-23T08:09:00.000-05:00

A fly is on the wall watching me with it's tiny little eyes.

2007-06-23T07:07:00.000-05:00

The rat has been caught and rests in it's trap. HA HA HA HA HA

2007-06-20T15:21:00.000-05:00

I love to make copies.

I like popping bubble wrap.

I like my shoes.

2007-06-17T17:17:00.000-05:00

I think washing windows on a very tall building would not be such a fun job.

2007-06-16T17:28:00.000-05:00

Well somehow another birthday flashed past me. Another year older and another year wiser, as they say. ("they"? you know the big collective "they".) I do feel wiser this year which a very good thing for me. I might even use some brain power this go 'round.

I think being a cab driver would be a cool job.

2007-05-25T18:20:00.000-05:00

Well I'm about to get a small promotion at work (finely) it makes me happy.

This week I have to learn how to change the oil in our car, that should be fun.

I'm on 4 different drugs right now. I had a sines infection, but I'm getting better.

By the way bubble wrap is fun to pop. But don't do it around someone who may get angry with your bubble popping frenzy. We don't want angry people, that's bad.

2007-05-10T19:36:00.000-05:00

Wow-it's May.

Work is work,
Play is...well, there is no play.

I Eat

I Sleep....

2007-04-08T15:46:00.000-05:00

It is way to cold outside. I don't like seeing snow in April.

Well I worked a 10 day stretch in order to get off 5 in a row. It has been a nice break. Tomorrow is my last day off then it's back to working for the man.

Do you like my squeal?

2007-03-04T12:26:00.000-05:00

this is the most up to date photo of me. I don't have a camera so I just scanned my face.

2007-02-24T19:50:00.000-05:00

Secrets

2007-02-11T17:37:00.000-05:00

This was more difficult than I thought that it would be. It was still fun to do, but a little more challenging.

2007-02-09T00:52:00.000-05:00

As of today, the Johnson City FedEx Kinko's is the number one store in the entire company.

That's number one out of 1,300 stores world wide.

That's right we rock. We are all very excited about the whole thing.

2007-02-08T12:24:00.000-05:00

I used to be a fish but then I grew legs. I turned into a man but first I was an ape. That was an awkward stage.

2007-02-07T10:34:00.000-05:00

Eyes.

I had my head at an angle so that's the reason the eye on the right is in shadow.

Things I learned while doing this exercise:

1-I have a natural mean look to myself. (I have angry eyes)
2-I need to get more sleep.
3-It's time for a brow shaping

2007-02-06T18:47:00.000-05:00

"Look Pa' there's rats a comin' up over them hills...thousands of them. There going to destroy our crops. This is horrible."

"Don't worry Ma' I've got a secret weapon I've been saving for just such an emergency."

"Hurry Pa', hurry, there getting closer."

Pa' returns just a few short moments later with a radio. While holding a tape high up to the sky he yells. "This will do the trick!"

Pa' pushes play.

"It's working Pa' it's working. There running from the music. Yanni saved use Pa', he saved use."

2007-02-06T10:27:00.000-05:00

Pepper.

The point of this activity was to draw from memory then to draw from what you are seeing.

The one on the left is a basic pepper from memory (looks more like one of the ghosts from PAC-MAN). The one on the right is a pepper I was actually looking at.

It's hard to tell with pic this small but if you click on the thumbnail the one one the right is not bad, I mean for me.

2007-02-05T21:31:00.000-05:00

Activity number two.

I had to tape a piece of paper to the table, then keep my left hand straight forward while drawing. The hardest part was I had to keep one eye closed. My hand started cramping after about five minuets.

Fun Stuff.

2007-02-05T20:56:00.000-05:00

I decided to take up a new hobby.

Working two jobs made me realize I had no personal time. So I decided to take up drawing.

My friend Johnny Cline let me barrow a work book called: Keys to Drawing: by Bert Dodson.

Johnny told me to work though it and no matter how silly the activities seamed to be just do them anyway. I am no artist as you can see, just thought it would be fun to post as I went.

So here is my first activity, crossing me legs and drawing my feet. It was fun to do.

2007-02-05T17:00:00.000-05:00

Let's bust open a roll of bubble wrap and chase off the neighbor's dogs.

2007-02-04T09:26:00.000-05:00

I thought that Saturday morning Television was bad. Sunday is even worse. It's pretty bad when the best thing on is old Barney re-runs. Maybe it is a sign that I should go back to bed.

2007-01-29T07:45:00.000-05:00

Sometimes when I dream, I dream in color. Sometimes I dream in black and white. Last night I dreamed of pale flowers and a beautiful red and yellow sky.

2007-01-29T06:21:00.000-05:00

Want a box of Honey Buns...let's buy some.

2007-01-28T06:57:00.000-05:00

Wasp woke me up at six o' clock. I thought she needed to go out. It turns out she wanted to talk. So I patted her for a few moments. Now she's snug back in her little bed and here I sit wide awake with hours to kill. It's just not right.

2007-01-21T18:15:00.000-05:00

Spray cheese and crackers, who needs anything else?

2007-01-20T23:31:00.000-05:00

A man who visits Wal-Mart 2 or more times a week is 86% more likely to die by the age of 40.

Okay I made it up, that's just how I feel when I'm at Wallie World. It makes me want to run down the isles and scream at the top of my lunges, "get out everyone while there's still time."

I think I'll go lay flat on my back in the desert and let the vultures pick out my eyes.

It can't be more painful than Wal-Mart.

2007-01-19T19:46:00.000-05:00

I want to scream at the man in the moon, but he wont hear me.
I want to die a happy man, but I'm much to weary.
I want to leave it all behind just for a day.
I want to say a thousand things, but I've nothing to say.

2006-11-13T04:49:00.000-05:00

It's almost five A.M. and I'm up and ready. Today is the big bussiness trip to Nashville. We only have a six hour class to go to. Then we get to spend the night. Yesssss. I love Nashville.

2006-10-11T22:47:00.000-05:00

I love this time of year. We have a new greeting they want us to start using at work.It says something like "Happy holidays thanks for calling FedEx Kinko's". I'm just going to forget that greeting until after my favorite day. Halloween.

All is good. We had to get a crate for the dog. There was an accident. Oh well she likes her little home anyway. She likes to sleep in our room, because she gets lonely. I just love having a dog.

2006-10-01T08:28:00.000-05:00

Well, still here. We have had our dog for over a month now. We took her to the vet a few weeks back and ended dropping $150.00 on her. At first I was a little annoyed. I'm ok about it now. She is worth it.

Ohio State's football team is still doing well, which I am very pleased about. The first part of yesterday's game took a lot out of me however. But they pulled it off. Some of the Iowa fans looked like they were going to cry.

Also I got me a dream dictionary (just for fun) so now I can know what all my dreams mean.

2006-08-29T18:23:00.000-05:00

12 nerves break downs and a month and a half later I finely find something to blog about.
This weekend we have a new little addition (no not a baby) a dog.

She is a lab-pit bull mix. I think more lab though. She is just the best dog ever. She is a good dog and usually will sit after being asked only one.

So when we get a photo I will post it.

2006-07-15T17:09:00.000-05:00

Some of you have no doubt noticed that thefunkylime.com is still coming soon in May.

We had a problem with our internet connection. We don’t as of yet have the problem remedied. Plus I am having trouble figuring out how I want it done and all. When we do get it going I will let you all know.

Right now I only have the chance to blog seeing it can be done from anywhere.

2006-07-15T16:55:00.000-05:00

I think my fan stopped reading. Oh well moving on. New Blog

Things are slow right know. Not work though, that is never lacking. It's always there like a bad apple in front of a starving person.
Be back later.
