Well it’s been a little while since I’ve written. What can I say, this is the busy season at work right now. OK, I’ve also had the house to myself and have had nothing to bitch about on that front. Anyhow, I was explaining to an old friend today that we’ve made the transition from red-neck-ville to I’m-better-than-you-ville. Believe it or not, I like the second one better than the first. Finally, people shopping who wear all their clothes and who have all their teeth. They snap, whistle, and whip hostilities through the air but at least I can’t smell them coming a mile away!!! I’ll trade arragonce for meth-head stupidity any day. To say the last work has been CRAZY busy. Sad thing is, it’s only 3/4 as busy as it was this time last year. With gas now at a whopping $4.12 a gallon out here in Leelanau, NOBODY is going anywhere unless they have to. I spend a good 1/3 of my day on the phone with people who are price shopping becuase they only want to drive to one place to get their shit. You know, I hate gas prices too but Jesus Christ, I don’t sit at home all day and make phone calls to plan my shopping visits. I don’t know, I, being a good little consumer, just know where to shop and how to shop. Guess that comes from working in retail. Maybe it comes from being gay.
The personal life has been interesting lately. Seems I’ve been the only one lately with his shit together. Whether it’s regarding money or regarding what to do with my life, I got it going on right now and I’m pretty darn happy with my life. I’m not real happy with some of the things that have gone on in the past year but you know what, I’ll survive and I’ll get over my sorrow about some of the things and people I’ve lost and I’ll move on. There is a HUGE difference in how I am dealing with this vs. how I might have dealt with it 10 years ago. I’m a much happier person now than I was then. I’m also much more sure of myself and my position in life. I guess that comes with age. I had my “mid-life” crisis when I was in my early 20′s. I got it out of the way really fucking early. I’m glad too becuase it’s a LOT easier to enjoy life when you are not carrying around so much fucking angst.
OK, that’s it for now. I’ve got to get some other things done tonight. I’ll leave you with another random picture.
HI! Isn’t it nice to realize that you are happy? I’ve come to that conclusion as well. Maybe it’s our generation where we never expected to have it as easy as the older generation had it. Basics like jobs and security were very easy to come by for older people. It is not as easy now with global markets, wayyyyy to many people on this planet, and everything is either disposable or doesn’t matter in the long run.
