myriad of the mundane

you know what the single best thing about blogger is? to post you have to create. it doesn't say compose, it doesn't say write and it doesn't say post; it says create. a great mentality to be in when you come into something like this.
if you said everything in and ordinary way no one would be here to read. we are all trying to be cooler, funnier and sassier than usual just to be outside of ourselves for a while.
like how you always think of that perfect line as soon as the person has walked off.
ever have that happen? i hate it when it does. drives me crazy. and it happens to me a lot.
"your mom tries to...uh...oh man give me a sec" just doesn't work.
that is all.

well, all, today i finished rebuilding my carburetor. my bike is sounding so amazing right now that it makes me smile like a maniac. also, i'm now legal to ride the little thing whenever it's light out. it's the tangible sense of freedom that i've worked for that's making me so happy with this whole thing.
tomorrow i have to show the state of washington that i can properly wash somebody's ass then i'll be able to work as a NAC. past that i have a belay shift and...nothing except another joyride. i love riding now that i'm doing it.
oh, and geezer, my bike is the exact same thing as a postie bike.


so how are you all doing?
i'm quite interested. oh, and shoopska, have any really good irishisms? because i've been enjoying them so far. any chance i could get some of those sugar packets to go with my irish breakfast tea in the morning?

that is all.

places are always way more interesting when you don't live there.

that is one of the few universal truths of life.

that is all.

well all, a promise is a promise so i took some pictures tonight that i'm sure you'll enjoy. forgive me for not posting them onto my blog but i wouldn't want anything visually interesting to crop up on here. it'd be a terrible burden for the next blog to follow. and we all know that an unhappy blog is an uninteresting blog.
anyway.
i'm currently uploading these pictures into a photobucket album so you can all see my bike. it doesn't look quite like usual, though, because i'm tearing down the carb right now. after i get the gaskets and float she will purr like a kitten under me. it'll be nice to hear.
and of course, being the narcicist that i am i posted a picture of myself, as well. i think i look like a badass. but i would, that's kinda what leather does to your brain. it's the reason bikers strut around. frankly i think it'd be funny for me to kick my leg over my gal and act like a badass when it sounds like i'm riding a lawn mower around. lol. god it's going to be amazing!
but you guys make sure to enjoy my pictures and i'll attempt to enjoy some sleep. i know, i know, it's really hard to like sleeping.

you want to see something dreadfully wrong with the american political system? just look at this! the christians are worried that miers won't rule like a christian on the bench! are they fucking off their damned rockers?!?!? it's not a legislative body, it's the supreme court! they don't make decisions based on their personal faith, they make them based on the law and how it should be interpreted!!!!!!!!!
fucking idiots!
there is a time and place for faith in the public sector. i do appreciate that people believe what they do, it leads to charity and good works. however, it is the very first thing that the bill of rights states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Congress can't make the law, it's unconstitutional and thus the court must strike any such law down. the reason, you ask? why because the men who wrote our Constitution saw the damage that the Anglican church was doing by being a politically active body. same way the catholic church behaved in the dark ages. they kept humanity back for a hundred years in suffering and darkness. think about it. the greatest scientists of the renaissance were condemned as heretics and were persectuted against by the catholic church. and why? because they didn't fall in line.
this country does not need a theocracy. would any of you like the idea of someone who didn't have your ideas of faith telling you how and what to believe? then don't do it to the rest of us.
empathy is a thing that makes this country work and now half of us seem to have put that down for the judgmental bent we're seeing now.
just because i can't justify believing in a God that i've never seen, felt or proved logically doesn't mean that i don't think about it. i've thought long and hard about it. i was raised christian and have since found that "christian" behavior in today's society is completely the opposite of the loving, tolerant and gentle values they espouse in church. you can't call yourself a christian for going to church every sunday and putting on the face of being this nice, loving, god-fearing person and then go out and tell people that they're going to hell because they don't agree with your exact views. that's a great example of twisting the faith. so stop it!

yesterday rocked!
not only did i find an awesome pair of gore-tex lined, heavy weight ski gloves for $14 ( a discount of over $50) but i also found myself a free stove of the type i've been looking at buying. one of the guys i work with has one and doesn't like it. so i'm taking it off his hands. bloody awesome. AND i worked for 12.5 hours yesterday. that means it was very close to a $100 day for me. and i accomplished my goal to read into the Critique a bit further. so my life is good! right now.
how is yours? tell me. i am actually really interested to hear what great things have been happening to you. tis the fall weather that's doing it, i tell you.
i absolutely adore fall. fall and spring are the perfect seasons. everything bundling up for the cold and then everything layering back down after it. and the fact that it's crisp in the morning but warms up in the middle of the day is my favorite part. you wake up and you want it to be warmer then it gets warm and you want it to cool off and then it's night and it's cooling off. perfect. bloody perfect.
that is all.

alright. so here i am ready for a long day of working and slaving to pay for my dreams. like that bike from last post. officially going to buy her. and putter around town. i promise i'll post some pics because it's hilarious! it's like an overgrown scooter. capital.
i am awake and ready at this ungodly hour. i really am. my powers aren't as strong as they are normally because i am powered by the sun! just like superman. or aquaman only with sun instead of water. or maybe the green lantern because he's a fukkin badass!

most exciting thing i have for the day?
figuring out "What every LOTR fan knows" is. sumo, i'm looking at you!

and taking a gander at my own ass while puking.
that one can wait until i have some really bad mexican.

i've decided that sometime today i'm going to make a few more pages of progress in my Critique of Pure Reason. i just need to have a mental workout of epic proportions. and this is the gym of champions.
other than that...i've been knitting gloves! but they're going to piss me off because my little snowflakes are a thicker guage than my other stitches so they won't play nice and i may have to knot them off- basically like lighting the pope on fire in front of 10,000 devout catholics: they'll burn me alive or just sit there wondering if i could really be that stupid.
and on that note, that is all.

imagine my sexy self on top of...

this!
so i've gone and fallen in love with that.
really, guys, i'm not kidding. i want her bad.
so i'm thinking that i may go ahead and buy the one i was looking for. it's all yellow like that, too. i love the tailpipe, though. that's my favorite part. it is pretty much the coolest tailpipe i've ever seen.
other than that i've been a boring fuckwitt. and worked way too much. mostly to pay for my motorcycleta. i am beginning to have a problem. pretty soon i'm going to want to strap camping gear on it, a 5 gallon gas tank and just go riding along country roads until i find someplace to set up shop. which sounds really good to me right now.
i'll check in on you all in a bit, of course.
have a great day!
