Who Do I Think I Am? (And MOre) : The 39 Week 10 Round Up/Update [T39W10RU/U]
Yes, there was no week 9. "oops" Didn't really have anything to say anyways last week, I admit
I actually got to respond to someone this week with "Who do I think I am? thom Wolfox sR Rhose, official slaveboy, SchmooGod of the MidWest, and RedKnight of Pattern - amongst other names, why?"
LOVED their expression... it absolutely warmed my heart to witness their confusion (and fright?).
it was only afterwards that I realized I forgot to mention the name I'm known by throughout most of Minnesota, "Grr" - a name I'm quite proud of as well.
the saddening part is that it came from an asshat who I caught trying to remove the new attic lock outside my apartment door...
I heard an odd noise so opened my door, smacking into him - unsurprisingly he looked like a deer in headlights (why does EVERYone seem to assume it's not an actual apartment at the top of the stairwell?).
I popped back in, grabbing my phone, and "escorted" him out as I left a message with management (it was just before 9p, office closed) getting his name and who he works for...
unsurprisingly (again), it was DISHtv... *sighs/shakes head* - why does it always seem to be them that "forget" (or claim to not know) they have to contact the office in order to get roof access?
and, as I ever-so-nicely told his ass to get lost, he asked who the hell I think I am - to which I got to respond as so wonderfully noted above
otherwise it's just been a busy workweek (as usual), knowing I won't have my daughters for three weekends in a row (starting with this one)...
only 519 more hours to go, right? *sighs*
BUT, a friend is getting married next weekend, to which I'll be staying in a semi-local hotel and "getting away" (sort of).
should be enjoyable!! and other friends I know will be there as well. I suppose I should get a haircut before that weekend, neh?
and shave. (actually, I intend to shave this weekend... though intent has changed before)
...and speaking of marriage - after work today I had to explain to a neighbor's husband that Voting No! to the upcoming Marriage Amendment and supporting equal rights does NOT mean "me = gay."
the neighbor herself ws more interested in my sign and what it's about while her husband was along the lines of "I thought you had kids, you can't be gay..."
*sighs* oh well, they are a couple in their 50s and I've seen worse mentalities in this state, I admit.

Under A Blue Moon... (Lick It!) : The 39 Week 8 Round Up/Update [T39W08RU/U]
This week's Round Up/Update has been cancelled due to... er, wait. since I've already typed something it's already happening, isn't it?
Fine, fine - to alleviate a possible reality-loop of infinite-slash-disasterous-slash-quasi-evil proportions that could likely up making Pauley Shore president, here we go.
...and it IS the last day of August, after all!
I don't know if it's because of today's Blue Moon as it approached or not, but this week my brain has gone off on unusual tangenitals...
for example, Weds eve I was craving root beer - which my brain naturally segued into licking a unicorn.
last night I simply dreamt of sleeping... just kinda odd and not too weird, but could be connection...?
as if in preparation, last night (in which I dreamt of sleeping) I actually fell asleep on my couch and awoke roughly 10hrs later in my bed.
this could easily mean I was simply tired and fell asleep and ended up going to bed without realizing it... OR I was kidnapped by bored aliens without nothing better to do.
I mean, really, I'm FAR from a prime example of the human species - particularly in that I'm half-sasquatch and scarcely considered "human" even by many of my friends.
( what I'm called by my "frienemies" is a different thing entirely )
workwise it's been quite busy and successful, for the most part.
homewise i'ts been the usual boredom coupled with "I guess I'll watch/read/write something" broken up by weekends with the girls, in which case you can put the aforementioned statement in their voices rather than mine.
I AM a fairly boring fathre, I admit. I don't have cable nor any intent to get it, nor do I have a game system of any kind.
this leaves the girls with nothing more than... IMAGINATION.
oh, the horror - I know, I know, how DARE I make the girls have to use their brains... how UNamerican of me.
well, kids and cretins... too f'n bad
but we make do - which usually means at least once a day my eldest tells me she's "bored" and at least once a weekend my youngest begs me to draw something for her and her sissy to colour.
to alleviate the eldest's claims of being "bored" I take the simple and honest approach of, "well, since all of your toys and books aren't helping I guess we'll have to be rid of them..."
it doesn't take too long for her to claim a few books and/or toys are good enough for now *laughs* - no surprise.
she still feigns that if I had cable and or a game system, she'd be "MUCH less bored," but an additional approach of mentioning I COULD trade in all their toys and books and beds, etc. for a game system is usually given a "nay" vote.
( particulary in that I mention they'd only get to play said system maybe an hour or two a day and THEN what would they do? *grins evilly* )
but I AM told I'm a good fathre, so I have to take the word of those who say so, as I by no means can judge myself in that capacity.
and, even I admit, the words of "I love you" and/or "love you, daddy" from the girls is expression enough that I must be doing SOMEthing right.
ANYways...
on a random aside : no, my life isn't perfect - but, to be fair, I never asked nor expected it to be... I'd actually be worried if it was!
and who wants "perfection" anyways... good gods would the world be a boring place!
Farethee well for now, remember that Life is about Living, and - for the love of gods - LICK THAT UNICORN (after all, it tastes like rootbeer!)

7yrs, An Unchanging Year, Don't Limit Freedoms, And More (Or Less)! : The 39 Week 7 Round Up/Update [T39W07RU/U]
My eldest daughter turns 7 today... good gods it doesn't seem that long, yet she's (obviously!) older. demn, demn, indeed.
otherwise not too much has changed - which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
bad thing because it seems like things are too... stagnant... at times and I'm well aware that I don't get out much, and this is even compared to when I used to seldom go out and got shiite for it!
good thing because (crossing fingers while knocking on wood to avoid causation principles) this is the longest I've gone without someone I know/knew dying. trust me, it's a shocker - but a GOOD shocker!
half of the Dee Snider's House Of Hair runner-up prize(s) has arrived - the signed "Dee Does Broadway" CD ...I'm looking forward to burning it into Romero and listening
( what, my CD player died and Romero has become my "stereo" - even though I've been using him as a stereo anyways nigh since I got him )
and, yes, I'm still looking forward to his book as well - all I've heard are good things!
on a very cool note, the September issue of Playboy has two great things : an interview with Richard Dawkins (which I think I may've typed as "Hawkins" on twitter/LJ - oops!) and an editorial by Hef on gay rights and sexual criminalization.
yes, I read the articles *smirks*
I also put up my "Vote No! Don't Limited The Freedom To Marry" sign on my deck window, which a co-worker was nice enough to pick up for me, on Tuesday - I may not have a car or a lawn, but I can still do my part, as minor as it be.
(
) - pic here, if too big to see
for some reason I was also inundated this week with religio-political craziness, messages left when I didn't pick up the phone (or wasn't home) or random people, all on a "there is but one g-d" rampage...
so I posted the following two twitter/FB posts in a blanket response :
there is but one god and it's name is: Aten, Marduk, Ahura Mazda, Shamas(h), Sin, Brahman, Ish, YHVH, El, Yahweh, Jehovah, Allāh, All-father
there is but one god and it's name is (continued): Great Spirit, Gitche Manitou, Dyeus, Vāhigurū, Shangdi, Hu, akamba, Shiva Baba - and more
...I received good responses that ranged from the FSM (pastafarian) to "Cernunos, Herne, Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, Osiris, Izanagi, Yang..." - I love my friends
(and would love some even more if they'd ever show up at my doorstop in merely a trenchcoat, but that's another story entirely)
I have yet to head out to the nearest Legion and pick up/ask about info regarding the SAL, but at least I know it's an option now - maybe next weekend, if the weather's decent? it'd be just over an hour's walk to the closest one.
ANYways... now that we seem to be getting August weather (again, we had an entire July of it), I've got the A/C on once again.
so, enjoy what remains of the summer and I'll catch ya again next week!

Three Days / 84hrs... : The 39 Week 6 Round Up/Update [T39W06RU/U]
Took a 3day weekend to eliminate what remained of my vacation time before it resets..
so, what to do on this quiet long weekend?
I could type up more of my poetry... ( http://falnedn.livejournal.com/tag/poetica )
I could be creative and delve into my digital artistry... ( http://wolfoxrhose.deviantart.com )
I could watch DVDs and/or netflix while I do laundry...
I could sell my soul to the jebus and Santa for some burpable tupperware...
I could pose nude for the latest issue of "Oh Dear Gods No One Wants To See That!"...
I could invent a method of kinetic redirection and become a superhero and/or villain (maybe BOTH?!)...
I could find a cure for the "common ignorance" - oh, wait, we already have that, it's called actual education. My bad.
I suppose I could even do all of these things - guess we'll just see what I feel like doing when I do it, neh?
On a side note, I got in touch with local SAL, so that gives me something to do this weekend as well

Uncle Thom's Earlier Post Than Usual... Post : The 39 Week 5 Round Up/Update [T39W05RU/U]
I'm posting this earlier than usual, but it IS Friday already and, to use up one of the days I still have remaining to use-or-lose, I took today off...
not because I needed to do anything or that there really was anything I COULD do, but simply because.
...and that's not a bad thing a'tall.
my first nephew, Kayl Thomas, was born this week... this pic is him wide-awake on only his 2nd day of life.
(
)
weirdly (much weirdly, actually), it's been a nigh-overall consensus that the vegetable-named li'l one looks like me when I was born.
Scary thought, that! ...and here I had tought the bloodline had finally ended *smirks*...!
A good thing is that maybe/hopefully those who shall not be named will finally concentrate on him and stop bothering me about visiting...
I mean, seriously. I haven't owned a vehicle since '99 yet they have this expectation that I can just up and go at the drop of a hat (let alone afford it!).
riiiiight - even if I started walking NOW, what would be an 8hr trip vehicle-wise would end up taking me... what? 170hrs, give-or-take... IF I walked non-stop...
170hrs - that's over an f'n WEEK of walking non-stop.
...basically, to those with the expectations - to put it bluntly, either buy me an f'n car AND pay for ALL the expenses involved for Shut The Fuck Up already.
ANYways... moving on...
one in a million (well, one of 250 winners, anyways) for Dee Snider's new book & CD - Helsyeh!
( House Of Hair (winners) )
...how often can one say that they're even a runner-up for something this demn cool?
Much looking forward to it... and since I first discovered Dee Snider through his collaboration with Alice back when, it's nigh perfect!
My youngest li'l one, it appears, had taken it upon herself to try to remove something from her hair with scissors this week ... *sighs*
yes, my little one with the beautiful long and curly locks is now... shorn.
while I haven't seen it yet... and won't until tomorrow mornin'... I'm certain I'm going to be in for a shock (from what the ex has mentioned).
Oi! you think she'd have learned/remembered from when her sissy did something akin a couple years back.
...and, yes, she IS going to get a talkin' to for this one (even though I'm certain she already has - I just have to, I AM her fathre, after all!).
So... what to do on an "empty" Friday where I still have just under 12hrs before groceries arrive?
And, in addition, where in the hell can I find locally (as in, someplace I can walk to) a pedometer?!
I figure it's about time to find out just how many miles I DO walk in a week / month... it's bound to be quite the # (and to think, I walk less than I did a couple of years ago!).
Farethee well for now and enjoy the hell outta your weekend, will ya?

Bored Now, Enthuse Me, Please : The 39 Week 4 Round Up/Update [T39W04RU/U]
I swear I must be one of, if not THE, most boring people on this fine feathered cuisinart we call a planet...
my week in a nutshell (help, I'm in a nutshell!) : wake up, work, watch DVDs and/or netflix, sleep, repeat as necessary
...I admit, I DID shave - that's become a bi-monthly (as in twice a month) affair at best *shrugs*
I might play some Sims3 this weekend while I watch more DVDs and/or netflix...
I know, the excitement is overwhelming, but don't worry, I think you'll survive it this time!
ANYways... to help alleviate this oh-so boring weekly round up/update, here's some videos...

I swear I must be one of, if not THE, most boring people on this fine feathered cuisinart we call a planet...
my week in a nutshell (help, I'm in a nutshell!) : wake up, work, watch DVDs and/or netflix, sleep, repeat as necessary
...I admit, I DID shave - that's become a bi-monthly (as in twice a month) affair at best *shrugs*
I might play some Sims3 this weekend while I watch more DVDs and/or netflix...
I know, the excitement is overwhelming, but don't worry, I think you'll survive it this time!
ANYways... to help alleviate this oh-so boring weekly round up/update, here's some videos...

Humanary Stew : The 39 Week 3 Round Up/Update [T39W03RU/U]
"these words he speaks are true
we're all humanary stew
if we don't pledge allegiance to
the black widow"
Heroes, idols, whatever you wish to call them... I've never been amongst the "norm" that idolizes/hero worships sports figures and that lot...
to me it's imagination, strength, and creativity that led to what could possibly be considered mine.
My main hero/idol is/was my older sister - Jacqueline aka "Jax," despite our never been close as children in later years she was my advisor when I needed one and helped me through a lot...
her loss was, to say the least, devestating and since I've had only myself to rely upon when I had ponderances that I would've loved to have her advise on.
I suppose in some ways this is/was a good thing, as I had to rely upon myself more than I ever had before - but it was a loss of someone that mean more to me than many realized.
I named my eldest living daughter after her, in tribute to the most important person there's ever been in my life.
Of my other heroes/idols, I've only been able to see one - in the past few years, no less! - and only one other is even feasable, should they ever return to the stage:
Alice Cooper, whom I finally got to see when he played in Moorhead semi-recently... amazing and well WELL worth the trip to see my hero/idol up on stage!
David Bowie, who has no been long retired from doing shows... unfortunately. should he ever again and somewhere I could actually get to, you bet your @$$ I'll be there!
Theodore Roosevelt, my only idol/hero who isn't cinematiq or musiqa related - he admitted his flaws and kept his personal out of his political... something today's politicians could learn from!!
Humphrey Bogart, one of - if not THE - best cinematiq icons there ever were... while trademarked a noble cynic, his performances were brilliant from b-film heavy to hard-boiled (anti-)hero.
Katherine Hepburn, the "female Bogart," strong, independent, and spirited when they were considered flaws rather than advantages.
not a long list, no... a humanary stew of imagination, strength, and creativity... but there it is.
I have "shifting favourites," of course, amongst others and, of course, you can't judge an actor by one film nor a singer/band by one song...
take Tom Hanks for example - Bosom Buddies = Helsyeh!, his early comedies: Splash, Bachelor Party, The Money Pit, Dragnet 87, the 'Burbs - even A League Of Their Own... demn funny stuff!
once he started becoming a "serious" actor, yehhhh, not so much. I admit I liked some: Philadelphia, Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away... but the majority I've either had no interest in or thought it blew goats (*coughs*ForrestGumpSuckedBalls*coughs*).
nonetheless, I don't hate who he is as an actor and can still thoroughly enjoy the comedies ( is Bosom Buddies out on DVD yet?? WITH the musical numbers? don't pull another WKRP In Cincinnati fiasco!! ).

Callfree Retro Filicidal Expiration Utilization : The 39 Week 2 Round Up/Update [T39W02RU/U]
Intriguing that this morning, after reading a few e'mails, I realized that my phone wasn't working. I have no idea how many days it's been dead.
While this may be shocking to some, you have to realize I seldom GET calls in the first place and so I didn't think much a'tall of being callfree...
after I got home from work this early evening, in PERFECT timing!, I plugged in a phone that's literally from the '80s and it began to chirp - friends were in town and near the apartment!
with LOTS of thanks I traded food for a ride to pick up a new phone - MUCH appreciated in that it'd keep me out of roughly an hour-and-a-half total of 90° heat
as I may or may not have mentioned (I do not remember), I had my daughters last weekend - ALWAYs an enjoyable experience.
the ex had been saying how they'd been driving her nigh crazy and, on Satyr's Day, they nearly brought me to the killing edge - which led to them being denied treats and movies.
...which, humerously, led to them being (nearly-)angels on Tsunday *smirks*. they weren't perfect, no, but definately blew the day prior out of the water - thankfully!
there's just something about filicide that didn't sound quite kosher - let alone legal
( and, no, to appease the suddenly worried there's no way in the 7 hells I'd hurt my children... sell them to someone in Cleveland, maybe, but never hurt them! )
speaking of children - or lack thereof - I (still) have 8 of the condoms, now approaching their expiration date in September, that I'd found shortly after the ex left years back...
no, I haven't utilized them myself (I haven't been KISSED since before my teeth were broken, if that gives you any idea), but rather gave a few away to people who could utilize them.
SO... if anyone needs condoms, c'mon over before they expire...
otherwise, if any lovely ladies would like an "Expiration Date" (hint, hint), it's been a while (quite a while), but I still may remember how to utilize my extraneous organs...
just c'mon over and... *ahem*... we'll see what comes up ;p
in a touch of oddly-related humour, I went to check the mail on Monday wearing only one of my open shirts and jeans and I was threatened to have the cops called on me for not "covering my area."
...seriously?!? if you can't tell the difference between an umbilical hernia (outie) and an extraneous male organ, you've got a LOT of OTHER issues to deal with.
*shakes head* - some days I may love living in the Cities, but the people, however, dear gods! there's just something about people in this state... and it's worse in the Cities!
weatherwise it's been a weird week of dryness and heat coupled with random thunderstorms and showers... I say weird because, well, DRY with storms which are, well, WET?!?
ah, Minnesota. gotta love this state! ...and I'll still take heat over cold any day!
I also, oddly enough, received "hair club for men" material in the mail last week...
now where in the 7 hells would *I*, of all people, put more hair??? I'm half-sasquatch, for frag's sake!
Have a lovely rest of the week and remember: Life is about Living!
