McDonald's -Zanesville, OH

I was driving through Zanesville, OH last night. Stopped by the local McDonald's. Got a little gas from across the street and purchased some diet coke. I bought a McChicken, a McDouble and a small fry. The ever so cheerful order takerer said that will be $3. I said no tax? Why is that the government does not want money for giving me the privilege of being able to purchase this food? He responded in a memorized speech about the state of Ohio and food tax. The only thing I heard was "No taxes on things deemed a necessity". It is now NECESSARY for me to have all these wonderful tasting fast food items. I pay for my food and then I move on over to the second window. I'm greated by the same order takerer in the back. I was there for ever. The food wasn't fast. I finally get my food and he smiles at me and says "sorry for the wait, but I gave you a large fry instead for your wait". I was excited and said "thank you", very enthusiastically. I drove a few feet and thought to myself how they should have given me the whole meal for free. I get back on the highway and stick my hand in the sack, grab a handful of fries and shoved it in my mouth. I was starving and ready to eat anything. It tasted so strange. I thought I had a salt packet in my mouth, so I gave it a few more chews and then investigated it. All fries. I grabbed a few more - same thing. They were not salt packets, they were just some nasty, so very nasty fries! I will give the McDonald another chance or Im moving on to Burger King.

Driving during a tornado alert

I was driving to Carl Junction, MO last night and along the way I couldn't help but keep my eyes on the skies. I swooped down the highway swerving, praying with each glance that it really wasn't a funnel cloud I saw way, way over by those back clouds. I turned off my radio - they said tornadoes sound like a train when they are close. I just knew if I could hear it in time I could bail. Where do you hide from a tornado when you are driving down the road? I've seen the movie Twister - cars, trucks and cows get tossed around. The lightning was streaking across the sky and I felt some fear and anxiety. Why was I driving during a tornado warning? By the time I arrived to my destination I felt that I was one with nature and knew a little bit more about this storm because I had a personal encounter with it while driving down that highway. I am a storm chaser.

What's in a Diet Coke?

What's in this tasty beverage? What allows it to drive me into the store several times a day carrying a 44 ounce styrofoam cup for a refill? Aspartame. I heard that labratory rats had some kind of reaction to it. I'm not sure what I heard really, but one thing I remember is that it effects your memory. I can't remember what else. I need a diet coke in the morning and in the evening. I do not know if my bipolar tendencies are coming from my abuse of the desirable beverage or if I was just born a little off. I plan to live a long time and one day soon I'm going to stop drinking diet coke. I will be OK. I know someone out there can relate to me. I'm a person, I'm a human being. I just got hooked. Sorry....I really got distracted....now what was I talking about? I can't remember.

I drove to Hutchinson, Kansas Today

I had to deliver some elves and I didn't want to pay the astronomical shipping prices, so I drove them to their destination. There were times during the 4 hour drive that I tried to pretend play that I was a UPS driver in my head. All I could think about was all the houses I would have to stop at and how I would have to constantly lift things and move off my seat. I do not want to be a UPS driver.

Marlboro Lights- Special Blend

Ok, you got me, I'm a smoker. Currently I smoke Marlboro light special blend cigarettes. I use to be a hard core red pack full- flavor -filter smoker. For several years I'm a reckoning. I haven't paid much attention to my habits, I just let them do their own thing. My concern though, in my recent last smoking days is this new special blend light cigarette Ive been a puffin' on. I'm able to lower myself into the lights. I've been trying to get off the full for about 2 years now. I've decided the lighter cigarette I smoke - the more I can smoke. How is this transition possible? I'm a better smoker...AND...I'm saving about a buck a pack. They are cheaper. What is special in this blend? Are they floor droppings with less nicotine and tar? Are they blended specially to keep us alive 5 or 6 years longer so we can continue to pay the outrageous taxes? Does the blend include something that will make me cough less? Maybe i will be able to get out of my car with out breathing heavy soon. The possibilities are endless!

Adult Stores in Missouri

What is an Adult Store? What is an Adult Center? They are lined up off of I-44 in Missouri. I was with a friend on a mini trip to Springfield,MO this afternoon. We passed several of these. I wouldn't mind stopping but there is a certain amount of fear associated with their parking lot. These buildings are boarded up and there's always that old rusted S10 pickup truck parked along side. When its dark there is that one little light shining bright by the windowless door. There are no advertisements - just a bright, usually red sign that reads ADULT STORE. How do you get a job at the adult store? Word of mouth? Do they put it in the paper. These stores are in the middle of nowhere. Do you think they pay minimum wage? Do they offer insurance and 401K? I'm going to take the easy route and purchase my toys of pleasure online, or at a garage sale.

She went to the store without her cell phone

Shes 14, my friends daughter. Her and a friend walked all the way to the store, about 4 blocks or so. Upon her return she says aren't you proud of me? I went all the way to the store and back without my cell phone. I didn't have a cell phone when I was 14. I would lay in the hall way for hours talking to my friends right after I just saw them. There are children under the age of 5 years old that have cell phones. How much are these people's cell phone plans? We we won't have to worry about affordability for too much longer because cell phones are so mandatory now. You can get in touch with anyone within a second. I can link to you faster than I can pull my pants down. I need a cell phone. I need a cell phone, a netbook, diet coke and cigarettes. If I have these things, everything just seems ok.

I'm posting again. My dear friend is making salsa and I'm typing random thoughts on my little computer screen. We talk but I'm so obsessed with my computer I just try to keep 1 & a half eyes on it at all times. See if I lose my netbook, I will now be sure to get another one because I like it so much and my OCD has turned it into a pure need. But you know I really do believe that I need this netbook. I believe it is a part of the new wave of energy. We are all connected to something, we are all just little particles drift around in large masses. I'm certain of this. I think. Come to think of it I'm really not ever certain of anything. I think its a good structure to have, but I don't really want to work a hard labor job. In fact, I don't want to work for anyone really. I don't want to feel trapped. I don't like commitment of any kind. I always want what I can't have and am always going after it anyways. My thoughts are completely random...are they not? I wonder who is the happiest person in the world right now. I don't think its me. Is the happiest person in the world right now at this second looking at his computer screen? Why can't I just win a million dollars some where so I can just do what I want. I don't want a a white picket fence, but I would like a dog. A terrier to be specific. I love terriers. I love dogs. I feel like I can bond with them and sometimes I feel like I know what they are thinking. I got to figure out this whole blog thing. Maybe I will do it more often. Then I will feel accomploshed when I set around doing nothing. Nothing, really?

Thoughts in July

So its the 5th of July again, but only in 2010. It will be the last 5th of July this year. I guarantee it. So next July 5th I wonder what I will be doing? I never know, but I should work on a plan for it. I was just talking about the man who wrote the book about working at a different job in each state. I think it was for two weeks in factories and various other jobs. How interesting. I should skip on over to google to find out about this man and to see if he made any money doing it. I would like to make some money without working that hard. Is that normal? I just want to live. I just dont know where. I'm at a friends house experiencing with this new netbook I have. Im so behind on the times when it comes to technology. I should be on my 5th laptop by now. But this computer is taking over my life. I really don't watch that much television but I can be on the computer for hours and not be able to tell you afterwards exactly what I have done. I'm watching Cheaters with a friend. Can you believe these people stalking the significant others. If you like Jerry Springer type high drama, this is the show to watch. Dysfunction with a bold super sized capitalized D.
