A short Poem........Or something like that

An excerpt from my journal on the 23Dec.95

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,not a creature was stirring except for the mouse.
The stockings were hung from the chimney with care,but not for the mouse's because there wouldn't be anything there.
With Ma in her kerchief and I in my cap,I was feeling glad that I had someone on my lap.
The kids were asleep all snug in their bed,knowing they'd get just what they wanted from Santa,because that's what he said.
So out came the mouse with a small pitter patter."Just another day to me,just a little sadder."
He scampered through the house,what a lovable mouse,it's just a shame he felt like such a louse.
I wished and I wished and I thought "could it be?"Had Santa finally come through,for little old me?
So on went the night."It's the meaning for Christmas".That's what the little mouse sought."It's so easy for some,but I must give it more thought."
It's giving not taking.What a wondrous sight,so why little mouse must you put up a fight?
You can look a gift horse straight in the eye,but still as always you'll just wonder why?
And so it is Christmas,that time of the year,when the mouse asks himself."Just why are you here?"
But somebody told him,it might have been St.Nick."There's more to Christmas then just using your Prick"It's joying,and giving,and Learning to share,but all must be done with a great deal of care.
But I do all those things,Can't you see?So I really have to ask,What's in it for me?
I guess what I think,I know what's the matter.Why can't snails have speed like the Mad Hatter?
And I guess that's why,this year,when Santa comes down the chimney with the greatest of ease.The mouse will get something."A small slice of cheese"

And so with that,Santa flew out of sight,saying


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT

First thing we do is Kill all the lawyers

Well over the last 2 days I've gotten about 50 cards and letters from Lawyers about my situation.........Slime Balls all of them..........Only 2 of them sent anything that wasn't just a form letter for their service.........Well I talked to one of them and I may end up hiring him just because it would make some of my ordeal a little simpler.


So this afternoon at work I'm standing outside having my afternoon smoke brake.....I look down and there is a 5$ folded just laying there in the street.....Don't think anything of it and I stuff it in my pocket....Thinking....Well......Not like I don't need an extra 5 bucks.........I finish my smoke and I'm headed back in and I figure I'll add that five with the one I have in my pocket......Go and unfold that 5 and sure as shit there is a zero behind that 5...........Guess someone is Smiling down on me to let me find a 50$ bill..........Didn't keep it very long though because I still own the guy that sold me his bike another 50 but still.....It's 50$ I didn't have at noon today

I think Neal Young said it Best

WHY DO I KEEP FUCKIN' UP

So......Wednesday...........I planned on meeting Alice out at MGM for the spectacle of Lights and then a little shopping at DTD..........Well I get to the park around 1sh and did a lot of People watching,went on a few rides.Anyways......she gets there at about 7 or so and we walk down and check out the lights.........Very nice and everything......Although we both comment that some of the lights were out,not just one or 2 lights but whole strings and sections of the figures.......Anyways......We leave there and head to DTD........That's were is went down hill fast and I watched one of the more deadly skeletons I have in my graveyard closet come to life.......To flash back.....back in Feb of 2002 when I changed my Drivers license from MN to FL I wrote a check out for it........Well the check bounced and Zippy the Pinhead never did anything about it.......Jump to Dec of 2003 when I go to get my tags again........I'm told at that time about the bad check and what I have to do to fix that and to get tags for 2004...........Once again.....Zippy the Pinhead did nothing......See a pattern here??............Jump to July of 05......Zippy it pulled over for no tags so he's tkted for that and told that he must get those or his license will be revoked.............Guess what Pinhead did..........Yep.........Not a God damb thing.................So......At about 9:30....As I was pulling into DTD there was a car behind me..........That's when I found that there is atleast one thing worse then having to ride "Little Planet"

13 Hours later I'm Bonded to Alice for my Sole.......And the simple fact that it was her day off,she had the means,and was willing to Bail me out...........At this point I have to take every day at every second because I still really don't know what I'm going to do.............Short of doing something that would be,as I like to call it "The Quiters way out".......I have to remember that there are people like my Parents,Alice,and most of all that Wonderful Higher Power that will help me as best they can while I work this one out.

Tiss the Season.............I guess

For a person that's always stuck on the Mood Swing in the Amusment Park of Life this season is always the worst for me.I can be happy one minute the next I have an F You attitude to life.I try not to let it get to me but it always does............I don't know what it is......I had someone tell me it's all in my head...Well no shit....Like I didn't already know that...They said it could all be made better by taking a little pill......Well that didn't work.....Too many years of touring with the Grateful Dead and I found that little pill was more enjoyable if I washed it down with a beer.....Just a cheap buzz and made me longing for a blotter or four,better yet a puddle on my palm to lick off.Although the left over Ready Whip from Thanksgiving was fun......Just say N2O :D


TBC

What no Shuffle today I guess

Well is looks like a few more seats were taken on the Love Boat Bandwagon.I'll wait to book my seat just yet since I'll have to wait till the new year to see if it sets sail.........But I do know I'll be at the ESPN Club that afternoon watching the game.

All I want for Christmas is..................

Well I've got my two front teeth so that's covered..........Guess first things first would be a couple loses for a Bad News Team and the Vikes to keep winning so the Show Down on the New Year will be for all the marbles :D.............And the Devils Spawn to realize that New Orleans would be a fine place to ride off into the sunset in next year.......

As for what I really want,well it's the same thing as every year......Enough coal in the stocking to last me through the winter.Really though,I got the TV for the Living Room from Mom and Dad,and I'm sure I'll get a DVD or 2 from the brothers and friends...............And I'm guessing something Flamingo too from someone or another.............But really all I want is to be happy at what I feel is the lowest point of life every year........And it has nothing to do with the Family being up north and me down here.........I was the same way when I was up there.......I know it's because the clock ticks off another year on the 28th and I just always feel that other then making it one more year that I haven't done anything................Sure I took a great vacation,played more golf in one year then I had done in a lifetime it seems and would have to think if there was a week that went by that I didn't find myself someplace at WDW.......But still it all comes down to the same thing.............



Anyways............atleast my SS gift was sent a couple weeks ago........Christmas cards either have gone out or will be by the end of the week and other then gifts for Mom,Dad,and Alice I'm done with all my shopping
