Ok I cannot figure this out
raerav:
All I want to do is reply to you and I can’t figure out how to do that!!! I don’t think I like this website. Sorry TUMBLR. But it really is not that easy. So Ash, I like your story idea! But I feel like it might get a little bumpy for you. So watch out for those rocks and those hills. They come quickly! Hazel-nut. Is that going to be the very last line in the book?

I just reread that Blogging is dead Post from earlier this year. I had so much fun writing that. Wish I could start up again, but then I’d go back on my own post. Hows that for artistic integrity. Noah sang to his whale… ‘but to a writer, the truth is no big deal.’ Think I can bank on that?
Hey Friends...

From Raerav: RePLY
I think of you everytime I watch that Arrested Development clip, from your Best.Clip.Ever. Way before you ever posted it. I always thought of you. I just knew you would like that show! And yes, I am way behind on this. And yes, blogging is an art form that is almost beaten dead now thanks to Facebook. In fact, I’m still on myspace for that very reason. I just cant leave it. I...
An argument I received from I dont know who.
Blogging/Last Resort of Useful Online Communication is dead.
Regarding your bloging post… yes, blogging is dead… it was at one point a great form to share recent events and great stories… now the internet has fractured communication even more. Twitter and Facebook have made it possible for anyone to share the most important things with an expectation that everyone cares about...
No one blogs anymore...
I think its time for me to admit…
there is a cave of no longer valued treasures somewhere. Its inhabitants are a wide array of ill-fated fashions, flash in the pan products, even a few things that graced the MUST-USE list… for example,
Anyone remember … uh… I actually cant remember then name of this once hugely populted networking site. I keep wanting to say facebook...
Those silent laughs are deadly.
My mom has been here for a week now. I havent seen a lot of her due to her popularity and also my schedule. Not to mention a baby-having brother and sister in law. But usually when i get home from work we sit and talk for an hour or so. The other night we were talking and in response to my description of someone at work she goes “Well… they’re just Shelfish!” And i dont...
Found your letters in a box in my closet
“Someone back home wonders…. now, why dont he write?” (laughs)
Its never a good idea to look at old email. NEVER! It brings up old issues that had seemingly been buried, and ignites past feelings and frustrations. One could reason, why not just delete them. But somehow that seems wrong. Like throwing away a letter. Whether its good or bad it was written for you and it exists,...

A lobster took it!
So today is the day between one 75 hour week and a second 75 Hour work week. they take an unreal toll on me. no worries, they’ll end soon. In any case, today more than Anything i was seriously looking forward to a lobster bath. so i run the water and look for the plug. and i look for the plug. and i look for the plug! It’s no where to be seen! how in the world can a bathtub plug be...

Lets All Make Shirts
Im mad its snowing again. I thought we were done with this nonsense!! Spring begins in a week and a half. C’mon MN, get it together.
Also, Im quite mad at a couple of bank robbers right about now. Actually, right about yesterday. But if I ever see any of them I will have words… WORDS with flying fists attached to them. How dare they.
Next, I feel about this mornings multigrain...
a dream upon sleeping
I had a thousand dreams last night and everyone was in them. And in my dreams I was unlimited in my creative capacity. I was writing stories, songs, making advancements in babies abilities to communicate even! Id wake up in between them and think man I had better write that down so i remember it in the morning. If this was Seinfeld Id wake up with some strange scribble written down that I could...

Hunting Stores: Rock & Roll of the 21 Century!
Those guys in the store you ate at sounded really cool. This story made me laugh. I have to ask, what kind of salad bar did you expect in a Steak House!? lol-catz.
Also, this story reminded me of something… if you are in a city and see someone dressed in camo, you have reason to be alarmed or think suspiciously or look down on them. While we were in chicago, I saw a man dressed head to toe...
A sunny afternoon...
not just a Kinks song. A reason to think its warm outside, even when its only 4 degrees. Remind me why I live here again??? Oh yes, the summers. The ever so short summers. Im itchin to get pedalin again. Was talking to M about taking a weekend trip to Ontario. Who am I kidding, Ive told everyone how much I love the Kickapoo river and going for a visit out there. Wildcat state park has it ALL....
Last Leg
Not much to say. I miss CO… and my favorites of its inhabitants. My finger is crusty but still staying together even without the thread. I cant bend it still, even without a bandaid. Im getting so close to paying off my debt I cant believe it! What a load off. Or should I say… what a loan off? hahaha. shut up, you know its funny. Soon enough I’ll be switching my schedule up. I...
Vindication!
So a couple weeks back I got an earful my boss about how i was waiting too long to send out invoices for services rendered. Lots about needing to be ‘on-top’ of things. Now I pleaded my case about how there is a delay between when the service is done, when the technician decides to send me his work and the day it takes to process everything to get it in the mail. Turns out the tech...
“well its official. i’m hard core. why? cuz my new seven stitches makes me...”
Best (?) Steak (?) House (?)
So today as I left my bosses house after having picked up and dropped off NO mail, was a useful trip, I decided I was quite hungry. Not having brought my own lunch today I didnt know what to get. Bored with the same olds I ventured into this restaurant we do the pest control for. I figure, at least I know its not rodent and cockroach infested. I dont usually go to a restaurant for lunch. But this...

FINE! I guess its all there is to talk about...
The cold blast is coming and with increasing winds on Thursday it will mean that wind-chills will become dangerously cold and could cause frostbite to exposed skin in a matter of minutes. Wind-chills will not be a major issue today but on Thursday wind-chills by Thursday evening will range from -40 to -45 below up north and -30 to -35 below in the south. It will still be cold over the weekend then...

budget the year away
So for the past five months Ive been carrying around this folded into oblivian piece of yellow paper. Its all marked up with checks and cross outs and white out. Its my budget. Most people are fancy and they put it all on the computer where its orderly and safe and secure. For me there is something about being able to look at it whenever i want, about having hand written it myself. So i pulled out...
nothing.
seriously nothing.
its sunny out today.
R said I should write a song based on a picture I have of my Omi standing in front of a lighthouse in Germany (now possibly Poland). I wonder if she was having a brazzle dazzle day back then?
How many lighthouses can there possibly be in the world? Not that many i think. I bet i could find that same one. I think i should. I know i want to. If only i...

On my angst over the everlasting winter being over one day, K told me, “Thats what you think! This is Minne-snow-ta.” True enough.
Yesterday at work I was venting about the lack of bonus ive noticed at my other work. I feel like i deserve one when everyone else is getting one. Anyways i did get a $25 gift card which is more like cutting someones face off and then giving them a...
my 200th post...
i figured it shouldnt be noteworthy at all.
once i was walking on a golf course. I was by myself. I looked for the most elevated green I could find. I saw it, walked to it. Slowly stepped up the hill, and as I placed one foot on the green I waltzed across the rest of it. No one saw me and it made me laugh to think of it.

So i started a painting. Except…
all i did was paint it blue, a light blue, a nice blue… yes, a pretty blue. I cant decide what else to put on there. So far I have two ideas.
1) the blue i painted it, the light blue, the nice blue…yes, the pretty blue, its the same blue thats on this button my buddies sent me. A bicycle button. With a bicycle silhouette in white and a red...
