Weekend Working And Too Much Stuff

Well, it looks like I'll be working tomorrow. While I don't exactly want to work on a Saturday, I am happy about the extra $$$. It will help finance our Roadtrip in May. It's going to be a fairly cheap experience anyway, but every little bit helps. I should probably be saving for a rainy day that is coming and already here for many, but... well, I'm 37. I may not be physically ABLE to backpack in several years... or I could be dead.
I should definitely go for it now.

Sometimes I wonder about all the material things I/we have or want. They certainly don't rule my life, but I know I think a lot about protecting them, and hanging on to the stuff that's mine. That's when I realized that "things" really can add stress to your life.
I ask myself "What things do I need, or rather, what if I take a more minimalistic approach concerning my possessions? If anything I am redundant and the "duplicate toys" I have show that clearly. Let's see if I can make a slimmed down list...

1-Laptop
1-Camera
1-Bass
1-Bass amp
1-Acoustic guitar
1-Jeep
1-Reasonably sized house
1-Pet
1-Wife
1-Child (Quantity optional within reason on this one)

See, that was easy...
OH!
What about a cell phone? Can it have internet access?
Can I have 1-iPod too?

Of COURSE you can, Philip!

Thanks, you're a real pal, Phil.

I feel less stressed already.

Here's a song about Life and the inevitability of Death by the one and only
William Shatner!
(You have to hit play yourself because I don't want to annoy everyone with the auto-play feature... all two of you.)
YOU'LL HAVE TIME
Enjoy!

A Nothing Post

What to say, what to say...

Oh. Tomorrow, I will no longer be on "Home Dispatch" so that means I'll be driving into the office every morning like all the other good employees.

Driving my Jeep more is going to be ok with me.
I need to do something about the sound system though. It's a little wimpy at the moment with the stock cd played and paper speakers. I will definitely be getting a new head unit, speakers, sub, and amp before our road trip in May. I want to get one with an iPod connection too.
Sooner rather than later I hope.

The weather has been kind of bad this week so I may work this weekend. I'm ok with that.

Oh, watched the movie Rescue Dawn today. Pretty cool, and a little disturbing.


Ok, gotta hit the sack. 'Night

Take A Hike Ike Triathlon Photos

I finally got some pics up from the March 1st Triathlon turned Duathlon. It was coooooold (for us southern folk).

Haircuts And Hitchhikers

I got a hair cut today... lots of them... actually. It was painless, but not pleasant. After all, hairs don't grow up in a day.
I've become quite attached to each of them yes.

Also, Tristan and I just watched The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Can you tell?
What a great movie. Those British chaps certainly have a charming wit.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Back To The Grind

Today was the first day back to work and I was almost late. Not a good way to start the week off, but the boss was sort of late too so all was well. Gotta leave the house a little earlier in the mornings.

We... actually Amy is starting to replant the flower beds around the house, and I must say, they are already looking quite lovely.

'Quite lovely'. haha

I never say stuff like that.

In other news, I had a very nasty dream last night. And it wasn't the fun kind of nasty either. Lots of bad feelings and I think I got stuck in the back with a spear, which can definitely be interpreted in a figurative way, but it also severed my spine.

I woke up with that heavy feeling in my chest, like I'd been heaving with grief.
Me no likey.
