Yes i am pissed.  About what you ask?  Lights.  I have my computer in a separate room.  Mainly because i like a clutter free room and to reduce EM radiation.  Well about a year ago to light fixture in the ceiling of this room burned out and i had to go and spend more then 35 bucks over said year buying bulbs and lamps to illuminate the room at night.  So why am i so pissed?  This house is really old so what my grandparents did is that they installed these auxiliary light bulb sockets in every light fixture so they could reach up and pull a string to turn on the lights.  yeah the house is that old.  I thought the light fixture and socket itself was burned out or messed up somehow so i went out and bought a stand up lamp with two lights in it and a lamp with a clamp on it to place over my computer desk so i could see at night.  Well today i looked at the original light fixture and suddenly had a thought: “What if it’s this auxiliary light socket?”  So i pulled the auxiliary out (which is probably as old if not older then me) and found a spare that was in the kitchen drawer which was never even taken out of the package and screwed it in and it worked.  I was and still am pissed.  I spent all that time, money and angst over a damn auxiliary fixture!  Now i can’t return the lamps i have bought or the light bulbs and i feel like a fool.  But at least i have a adequate light source again.  Now i have to decide weather i want to unplug and put away the lamps.  *SIGH*

A few months ago…

Well OK more like a month ago..or maybe two.  I came in here all bold as brass and declaring i was gonna kick ass and take names.  Then depression, lack of finances, and lack of drive because of those two things took hold.  I’ve been looking for job on and off.  Bidding my time, on and off.  And just being miserable.   But you know the old saying goes about how something reminds you of what you were supposed to be doing when you get distracted.  Yeah that happens a lot with me.  I’ve been reading a comic called Questionable Content since Sunday.  I’ve been playing catch up.  The whole damn comic is like a slightly cooler version of my life when i was in my twenties.  It depresses me and encourages me to get off my ass and do something.  *sigh*  One of the things i need to do is update and clean up this blog.  I need to find a theme so viewers can just look through the stuff with a click like they do with Naturism for People of Color.  The theme for that blog allows that.  Although now that i think about you can do something similar by clicking the tag cloud on this blog.  *sigh* i need to get a life and really look at this blog.

What a week!

OI!!  Last week was insane!  My parents went to San Antonio to take my nephew to see his father for Spring Break.  They left me with the dog.  So i was trucking back and forth to my parents house since April 1st.  To make matters more complex i was short on money until the third and then had to run a paper route for a friend from April 6 until April 9.  I couldn’t get to sleep any of the four nights I worked and every other day my extended family was bugging me about keeping the grass cut.  Geez!  I have a lot on my plate even if i am unemployed!  And to top it off i have a toothache, due to the fact that i have a cavity that has rotted a hole in my tooth.  I went to the dentist right after i got off work and just a exam and a quick look in my mouth cost me 156 bucks!!!!  I had to set up a payment plan for that and then had to spend some money on the antibiotics and pain meds.  So for today i have taken all day just sleeping, resting, and clearing my mind.  But i have this crazy idea for a quick photo project, but it will cost me some money, but the idea is just burning a hole in my brain so it looks like I’ll do it.
