After reading an article about humanity’s need for space colonization to survive, I was reminded of some conclusions I came to in junior high.
If humanity is to have any chance of survival, it is absolutely imperative that our species begin to plant colonies wherever we can off-planet. It would be so easy to wipe us all out with a single stray asteroid, a new disease, chemical or nuclear warfare gone wrong, etc.… read more “Ridiculous method to correct conclusion”
Last night Melanie and I broke up. She is an amazing person but needs some personal space and time to work some stuff out.
Fletcher suggested drinking.
Wine consumption commenced.
Good conversation had.
Went outside and walked down the road on Lake Union.
Saw seaplane.
Swam out to seaplane.
Seaplane was unlocked.
Discovered keys in seaplane.… read more “Painful finger= short sentences”
I feel a fearsome fire rising up from the deep; rising, twisting and burning hot through my intestines. The heat is taking over my senses and blotting everything else out. My inner core has shudders running through it in and feverish chills roll over my soul. Salty sweat falls into my wide, glazed, glaring eyes. Nothing beats the intensity of the anticipation.
I had a barbecue for the 4th of July and a friend of a friend apparently had difficulties working in the world around him and walked through the screen door, breaking it. The next day my roommate, Brent, asked me to move out. Brent told me he wants me to move out because he is dating a “celebrity” who doesn’t want to be seen and gave me a couple of hints as to who the guy is.… read more “Moving AGAIN! I hate my life”
Police take down a disrupter at a soccer game in a brutal way and the crowd retaliates. I wouldn’t want to be them.
Deep south cop gets rocked by an escaped convict.
Backyard bareknuckle fighting. What idiots.
Friday Fletcher sent me a message and asked if I wanted to climb up to Camp Muir the next day. I have been wanting to go up there for a while so I told him yes. We drove down to my grandparents house the night before and got up very early in the morning and drove up to Ashford, where we met our other friend, Adam.… read more “Climbing to Camp Muir (base camp on Mt. Rainier)”
I just had to spend $1218 to get my piece of shit ’99 Ford Contour fixed. My junkyard-on-wheels COST me $2800 3 years ago. The Kelley Blue Book value on it right now is $2,465. I spent half of what the damn thing is worth fixing it!
On my ride home, I got to thinking about what I could have bought instead with my $1200:
-120 pounds of beef jerky.… read more “Mechanics are the slime of the earth”
My car is in the shop right now getting the front brakes repaired ($400), back brakes changed($200), oil changed ($22), spark plugs replaced ($60) and am getting my starter checked out ($?)
I expect the mechanics to bump up the cost $2-300 after the work is done. Those greedy bastards never give a guy a break.
The woman I’ve been dating for the last few weeks, Melanie, is now starting her own interior design business! I like to think that I prodded her in that direction, but she already was contemplating how to do it. She is an excellent interior designer, but works for a firm that doesn’t appreciate what she does.… read more “Interior Design Biz”
