Global Swarming

OK... it's hot. Summer just started. Dang global warming never helps when it's cold.

When it's hot outside, it makes other things suck. It makes everything outside untouchable. Want to go for a drive in the middle of a summer day? Alright... just prepare to have 3rd degree burns on your hands. Of course, you should always wear your seatbelt... just don't touch the metal part. Do you have a leather interior? Well, your life is about to change. All these things turn to searing hot magma. Driving under these conditions reminds me of trying to tune a radio station and the only way to get it is to morph your body and antenae making it look like you are doing yoga. You can't touch the stearing wheel so you use your elbows or somehow put your feet up there to steer. You can't touch the door because your arm will melt off. In other words... your vehicle hates you.

Is it just me, or is the US about to become nuked by several different countries? North Korea threatens us.... Iran may be doing "axis of evil" type activities. What else? Are the people of Egypt going to throw rocks at us? What if Canada hates us? An international snowball fight?

Have we really became the most hated country in the world? Is it our meddling in everyone's business? Is it our freedom they want for themselves? Our arrogance?

There is too much to think about. It's summer! I'm not supposed to think during my vacation! Quit bothering me, world. You're bugging me. Scat! Scat!

Until next time, vaya con Dios.

No bean bag chair?

28. That's the number. It's not that big of a deal. The only big birthday's are usually 16 and 21 (for the younger ones). Then the only big birthdays you have to endure,... uh, eh.... look forward to is the ones that have a zero at the end of it. So, 28 isn't much. It's another year of sitting at home wishing you could be doing something cool on your birthday for a change. I guess I should ready the Cheetos and root bear.... It's party time!

Other than that I'm busy (really? busy?) settling in to my new house. It's great to have a place to call your own. It comes at a price, however. And that price will haunt me for the next 15 years. But I do like it and hope it serves me well for many years to come.

Am I the only one resisting the phenomenon that is Twitter? I'm already on Facebook and Myspace. Do I need Twitter? I heard that Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace are joining forces to create one big social networking site: YouTwitFace.

School is out. Summer is here. It's good. I simplified that to spare you the time.

Until next time, vaya con Dios.
