So it's been a while since I last blogged.
New happenings around me.
Work is going well, this hurricane on the east coast has everything a little crazy since I work in Boat insurance. But, my promotion kicks in this October, which is going to be pretty great, double my current salary, flex time, and a chance to fly around the country to different boat shows.
I forwarded a video message that someone sent me on my phone, to a girl I had been talking to and went out with a few times. Now, I thought it was a silly little video, it showed a donkey in some kid of pit or sunken area..and had a southern voice saying "this is a ass-hole, get it a ass-hole." and then laughing. Well apparently she took it as I was calling her an ass-hole and got upset. I explained that I forwarded it only because it was funny..and not because of anything else, after the thrid time trying to explain..I gave up..and don't care any longer. She then texts me and lets me know she's seeing someone, who cares for her deeply..funny enough..I know the guy..and I hope his wife and kids know how much he cares for her. Eh...why can't I find someone non-crazy.
My weirdness with women only continues, at the urging of a friend of mine..who met his "one and only" this way..I joined eHarmony. Stupid commercials aside..I thought..what the hell..what I'm doing now just ain't working. So far I've meet some pretty nice people, I had set up a date with one girl...she asked if I would be okay with a credit and background check. Which, I took as a joke..and which is intended very seriously...she was shocked when I would have a problem with this. I was suggesting a quick bite to eat..not a business merger. I think it's me..I must drive people to this level of irrationality.
My family and I, are planning a BBQ to raise money for the Wounded Warriors Project...
http://woundedwarriorproject.org/
We are going to cook about 90 pounds of pulled pork, brisket, hamburgers and hotdogs..with the proceeds to be donated to the project to help service men and women when they get home. Still some details to work out, like a location and time. But, I think we can pull it off.
Heading to the Jags game tonight, with my brother who is a always broke..so I will end up paying for everything. College football starts this weekend as well...Roll tide!
I need a new tattoo.
Thinking about getting :
"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold.." down my forearm..it's from a Yeats poem..and it's one of my fav's.:
THE SECOND COMING
" Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born"
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
eh..signing off for now.
