Some Kind of Jacked Up

I can see where NWA got their attitude. Since being on the “wrong side of the law” with my son, I have had new experiences that really lead me to dislike living in Texas, and particularly in this town. If these are the sorts of experiences that the people ranting about the police have had, [...]

20 Seconds of Fame

I burnt my face sunbathing on Sunday, so I haven’t been wearing much make-up the past couple of days. I burnt my arms too, and today, I dressed very comfortably. In fact, I looked like I was going to the beach. I could have washed my hair this morning, but I chose to make it [...]

Experimenting

Cool, I’m learning my way around WordPress. If things look a little wonky, it is just me experimenting! So what do you think? Do you ever feel guilty about spending too much money on certain items? I know I do, but it doesn’t always stop me. My spending is usually curtailed by my bank account [...]

Where’s The Love?

This morning, after I pressed the snooze button on the alarm, I lay in bed meditating on why no one has attempted to send our beloved president to an early grave. I spent ten minutes thinking about it, and finally decided that people are too afraid of Cheney. I also pondered whether or not anyone [...]

B’s

I was in the public library, quickly gathering up a few books, and I overheard two women talking. One of them was perfectly manicured and coiffed, with expensive clothes and well, the whole nine yards, probably including a wealthy husband. The other woman was pretty well put together herself, although her matching sweatsuit didn’t give [...]

No More Violence

Over my family’s head, at any rate. After several sleepless nights, two conversations with the woman upstairs and another call to the police, I have decided to move. I have been put in the middle of the whole mess. Or perhaps I put myself there. The women who lives above me is on Section 8 [...]

States of Mind

Who is crazier, Bush or Chavez? What a crazy world of extremism we live in! Seriously, who do you think is worse? I’m having a hard time with this one… It’s sorta like the game I play with myself called “Which Is Scarier?”. The fact that 1000 kids are infected with AIDS everyday or the [...]

Boold

In spite of my constant discontent and scheming, I know I am right here, in this very apartment, for a reason. I think I have mentioned before that foster care is something that I am interested in. Interestingly, I am getting to experience it on a minature level of sorts. My home has become the [...]

Faster, Pussycat, Kill, Kill!

I just got back from Walmart, where I did our Pre-Approved By The Probation Officer shopping for the week. The cashier was very conscientious, putting all of the produce in the same bag, etc., instead of randomly throwing stuff together. We began to talk, and she told me that her evaluation would suffer because the [...]

It’s All Changed, But Everything Is Still The Same

So whoopee, the Democratic Congress is here. I don’t know that I am all that excited. From where I sit, it doesn’t look like it is going to affect the course of the war much at all. They are talking about affordable prescription drugs and other nice things, but it is the war that I [...]
