Deep In The Forrest

To all who have served and given so much of themselves for our freedoms. Thank you Veterans.

This is technically cheating because yesterday found me unable to post, so I slid on my pledge to post every single day in November. However, I wanted to at least have a post labeled with that date so I could feel like It was mostly successful. I'll be back in top form soon. Just haven't felt well, and have been kind of trying to rest up.

Hard day today, was late getting back from visiting with parents and my outing with Jinks . Very trying and stressful visit home this weekend as my Dad was in some strange phases. Still battling this crap, where I am having sinus problems and now coughing like hell. Feel like I have barely gotten any sleep or rest, so that's what I'm planning to do now... if my "dolt" can allow things to be peaceful enough long enough for me to try. I will feel better hopefully tomorrow... until then, AJ

(*Warning: Do not read if you don't want to hear anything negative or "depressing". I am just about to rant on some inner feelings. If you would rather just move along and only want me to make you laugh, then consider this the end of the post. **Smile** Have a great weekend!!! :) Still here?? O.k., well here goes. (As we all know, no matter how mad a crab gets, in the end it still gets cooked) I'm not sure quite how to illustrate how I'm feeling this morning. I woke up feeling like Christmas, with a crisp chill in the air and slight sparkle. Then that fizzled, and I continued nibbling on that same bad taste in my mouth that I went to bed with. Momentarily, I could faintly see the frazzles on the end of my rope. I'm just tired... tired of the fragile, glass road of life. And I'm tired of being misunderstood and feeling like I am forced to chew socks every time I express what's on my mind. I'm always the enemy, I can never possibly be right, and I wo...

Remember, last month I started a new segment, the Monthly Blog Crush. Last month's saucy squeeze was none other than everyone's favorite trekmeister, Captain Corky . Now, don't go getting the wrong idea. The monthly blog crush is not some 'psycho-stalking-me' after someone for their sex appeal (although a lot of times they do have appeal, and can't help themselves, like Corky and also like this month's target). So, I'm not being some weirdo and trying to "hit on" anyone. And I'm also not being an attention whore. I'm simply expressing my admiration for the blogger for their wit, talent and charisma and letting them know I like them as well as appreciate their patronage to my blog too. It may be a guy or a girl, but happens to be a guy this month too. So, as promised I am revealing my November blog crush. It's the most cynical, cool, saucy, suave bastard that we all know and love... that's right, it's Jay of Cynical Bastard...

I've been doing lots better this afternoon, and I am having a nice cup of spiced Chai (which you should probably know is a Hindi word for "Tea". It's my favorite kind, black tea with the "Masala" spices. I'll leave it to you to look those up if you want to find out, or just go and buy the Lipton brand of "Spiced Chai" at the store. I've been looking around the NaBloPoMo Randomizer and seeing alot of other interesting lil' blogs out there... Kudos to all of you guys! It's fun trying to post every day this month. I post a lot anyway, so it's not that much of a stretch for me. As I sat here over my afternoon cup of Chai I was thinking of a few things. First of all, if my Mother got all technical and had a computer, would she blog? And if she did I wonder what she would blog about? That would be really neat if my Mother blogged... I wish at least I could e-mail her, but my parents have never been very 'cutting edge', and...

We've made it to Wednesday, and so far-so good on my daily posting for November for NaBloPoMo . I was reading about Wednesday on Wikipedia , and found the following: An English language idiom for Wednesday is "hump day" a reference to making it through to the middle of the work week as getting "over the hump" (as most everyone knows already). It is also informally referred to as "the peak of the week". Another popular tradition in the United States is to wear a sweater vest on this mid-week business day. This has led Wednesday to be referred to as Vestday. Woah.. wait a second: A "sweater vest"?!? Did I miss the memo on this one? I haven't seen anyone in a sweater vest since maybe Dr. Cliff Huxtable in the Cosby Show? Even then I never liked sweater vests... Just something about them. Still, I have never heard this thing about "Vestday"... I've only heard of "Hump Day". So in honor of hump day, I'll give y...
