What a dork!
Flashback to last June, I just found this picture floating around on the internet. This is one of those times when you should get a notice back that says something like "sorry, your picture could not be uploaded, the internet is full..."

Random Thoughts v0002
Gruel And Unusual...
For the past couple of days I have had oatmeal for breakfast. This happens every so often I just get in the mood for it. When I eat it I can't help having the following words run through my head "this is rib sticking food", and even at my weight I don't like that thought.
Adventures At The Grocery Store...
I remember my iPod, but of course the batteries are completely drained. Welcome to classic rock, No-Frills style.
Grocery lists are a must for me, I still bought three things not on the list, but it was of the I forgot to put this on my list variety.
Yeah! My cart rolled straight and I didn't have to wait in line.
$116?!?!?! I just wanted to buy groceries, not the whole store.
No One Is Innocent...
Has there been a slimier collection of people than those involved with the Duke lacrosse (alleged) rape case? The accuser, the accused, the D.A., all have the ethical capacity of cockroach.
I feel like I need a shower just reading about it.
Paranoia...
Those who have known me a long time know this is my worst day to day struggle. I very often (unrealistically) feel like I am about to lose my job, my friends, my whatever. Probably this is an (emotional?) abandonment issue. Anything that goes wrong can set it off. I recently realized that I would have to do something pretty stupid to get Viv off of my side, and today I had some similar feelings expressed by another friend.
I often say the golden rule swings both ways. I don't believe that you abandon your friends at the first sign of trouble, yet I have trouble believing that people feel that way about me despite reassurance and evidence.
Denial Looks Like...
US Government policy on global warming. Regardless of the cause, consequences, and solution, it is just unfathomable how you can look at the facts and not see an obvious trend.
Better Than Homemade Ice Cream...
My friends, you gals and guys are the best ever, I can only hope to be more like you are.
What's The Delay Here???
It has been almost six months since Apple announced you could buy movies on iTunes. I checked today, and there are a grand total of 235 movies available, and a whole lot of those are B movies and video only releases. If it weren't for their relationship with Disney, there would be virtually no 'big' movies at all, except for those piratey movies. I know I don't have a reputation for being a movie fan, but I do like some, and I like the idea of having them at my finger tips to watch at my pace and leisure.
Dancing...
I feel like I am at a crossroads with my dancing. I do well enough as a social dancer, but I feel kind of stuck with it. I want to be more creative, and I am finding it difficult to be so with a couple of exceptions (follows). I suppose it is my brain that is stuck and I can be more creative with almost anyone I dance with, but I am still feeling jammed into a dancing crevice.
So you are all warned, I might try something unexpected on a dance floor near you soon.
A Brain The Size Of Half A Walnut...
As I unloaded the groceries, I left the back door open. I usually let the cats get out and play in the back yard for :15 minutes or so. Here are Sierra's activities for the last :05 before I chased her in:
Run outside
Run inside
Run outside
Run down the deck stairs
Run up the deck stairs
Run inside
Run outside
Hide behind the shovel
Run down the deck stairs
Roll in dirt
Run up the deck stairs
Run down the deck stairs
Go outside the fence
Go inside the fence

Run under the car
Run out from under the car

Go inside to stay - I'm worn out just writing about it.
Zeke's activities:
Slink outside.
Jump off of the deck
Circle the shed once
Hunker down in the dirt and sit
Get picked up and carried in.

Help Wanted
Hey Jitterbugs (et al), looking for something to do on Saturday, January 13? Friends of the Omaha Jitterbugs, Great Adventures Ministries, is leasing the basement of the building at 1316 Jones Street in Omaha, and is the process of doing some (de)construction in the basement.
They have supported the Jitterbugs consistently over the last couple of years by putting people on the dance floor at JNO and using our DJ's and instructors for lessons. There has even been talk of them putting a dance floor in their space and allowing us to use their facility in case we ever, you know, were pre-empted by something else going on at the Eagles Club... Let's return the favor.
This will be hard, dirty, heavy work, but should be emotionally satisfying. They are asking people to bring leather gloves, socket set, work clothes & boots, cleaning supplies, cleaning gloves, fiberglass ladders (not an extension ladder), hammers, crow bars, cordless screw drivers, old sheets. Not mentioned but definitely needed are safety googles and plenty of fluids for you to drink.
The times are 0900-1400 (that's 9am to 2pm for those of you 24hr clock challenged). See some of you there!

Hey! Spanky! What were they thinking?
From the "if you're not guilty" department: taken from the police blotter of the Bellevue Leader online edition 01/02/07.
Three goons tried to make a run for it from the Kwik Shop at 502 W. Mission Ave. last Tuesday night.
Cops pursued the vehicle and cornered it at College Park Apartments, 401 W. 19th Ave. Officers arrested all three men and wondered why the trio fled since the car they were driving wasn't stolen and they were guilty of no major crime - until they tried to run from police of course.

Happy New Year 2007 Style
Happy New Year to all. The visual evidence of this year is much less incriminating than that of the past few years, in fact, my activities of the night were more restrained also. Enough yabbering onto the pictures.
Didn't anyone tell Spanky I was on the wagon? Spanky drank his with a straight face, however, Mae, Michaela, and I didn't fare so well, yuck. Bonus points for you if you can guess from the picture which one I drank.
Fortunately, Spanky is a way better cook than bartender. This was all super-tasty, including the cookies and bread made by Viv and I.
In addition to food and drinks, there was plenty of dancing, beautiful people, games, and friends!
Too cool for 2006.
Mae says "Hey, look, Schmendrick is back from California! The snow didn't keep him away, darn it ... I mean good."
Whatever Matt just said, it had to be funny.
Andrew loves it when you take his picture! "What! You're going to put it on the internet?"
Timmo & Dave sporting two great hairstyles!
I danced WAY more than I drank, cause dancing is more fun.
Jinx disagrees, well, she probably doesn't like drinking either.
Woohoo! It's midnight! Okay ladies line up to get your official new years kiss from The Onionboy! Hey! Where did everyone go?
A New Years Resolution for everyone ... never ever tickle this.
Much thanks to Cliff for allowing me to borrow pictures, you can see all 104 photos in his set here. You can see all 26 photos in my set here.
