Things I've been thinking about lately.

Lately, I've been thinking about acquiring stuff.

Why, you may ask? I don't know. I've never been one to be impressed by someone just because of the stuff he/she has. Material goods aren't usually the best barometer of someone's character.

Maybe it's because I've come to realize that it's okay to have a decent car, maybe a nice boat or jetski, maybe a nice RV to tow the boat somewhere and go camping?

Or maybe it's cause I'm pretty much a confirmed bachelor, and should have some toys? Here's a list(very partial) of what I want to acquire yet:


1)A nice(92-current) Crown Vic or Merc Grand Marquis.
2)A mid 80s Mercedes 190E.
3)25-35 ft. motorhome, RV, whatever ya wanna call it.
4)Couple of ATVs and a trailer to haul em around on.
5)Couple of 3 seater jetskis.
6)18-22 foot runabout boat.
7)94-01 Dodge pickup.
8)10 acres of land and a pole building to store all this crap.
9)Some really cool guns.


Given time, I can come up with several more things, I'd bet.

So, the burning internal question, for me anyways, is:

IS it greedy of me to go out and buy this stuff, or should I ignore the feeling and go buy what I wanna because damn it, I EARNED IT? The more I think about it, the more I lean towards the latter. Screw guilt. I work hard, I deserve to be able to play too.

Oddly, this started around the time that NEEG and I split up. Maybe I'm trying to compensate for something?

Or maybe I should quit thinking so freakin' much?

Yeah. Maybe that's the ticket.

More later, if I feel like it.

So, yeah. Things are afoot. I'll write more about it as it reveals itself. Sunday should be an interesting day, to say the least.

Happy B-day, USA!

Even the Canadians got into celebrating America's b-day. Clicky pic for larger.

More pics in my Flickr album.

So, anyway, America turned 230 years old. W00t! Oh, and a giant 'neener neener neener' to the terrorist assholes who think they can destroy what countless other dingdongs have tried 'n failed to do.

In other words: Suck it, terrorists.

My tent showed up today, so tomorrow after work I'm gonna play with that, then go work on the 'ski some. I need to put some uprights on it so I can see the trailer when I'm putting it in the water. I'm also going to add a couple more tiedown points on the trailer, can't have too many of those. Finally, I plan on adding a jack to the front so I won't have to keep lifting the freakin' trailer to hook it to the PartsMobile.

Well, I'd write more crap, but I've got to pay the bills, which usually puts me in a cruddy mood, so until next time.

May the Bluebird of Happiness crap on your car.
