I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

It's not like I have a seriously stressful job. I'm sure that there are others that have equally stressful jobs...

Like air traffic controllers.
Or those submarine commanders with all those nukes. That can't be easy.
Or the guy whose job it's to change the blinking lightbulbs...
on top the Sears Tower.

But it's just enough stress to need to vent some non-deadline-induced creative energy.

My feet hurt today, as they did yesterday.
So as I did yesterday, I did today: I wore my slippers.
Nobody looks at your shoes anyway. So here I am at work wearing my slippers.

And it's lunchtime.

So upon making a choice between all the wonderfull fast food establishments, I went to taco bell...in my slippers.

I little known trick I have found is that it the drive through is completely full; it's faster to go inside and order a to go meal, as was the case today.

So while I was waiting inside for my food, I remembered I still had my slippers on and had "I wonder what would happen" moment. As in: I wonder what would happend If I went into the men's room, took off my jeans and turned them inside out put them back on, seriously messed up may hair, and proceed back out to the counter to sit on the floor, curl my legs under me, rock back and fourth, and scream "WOULD SOMBODY PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO MY ROOM!!!"

Then I remembered that I have seen the owner of the company that I work for in there a couple time.

At least the thought was enough to make me smile and relax for a bit.

But it's time now to get back at it.

Possibly the best directions i have ever given

My older brother and his wife are coming to vist this weekend and needed directions, so I picked out what I was pretty sure was his email addy and wrote a letter that went something like this:

HI if this is you then I get to see you tonight!!!!! IF this is not the right email address, then please don't follow these directions to my house and kill my dogs.

please

FIRST:

hop on 155 south and take that all the way down to I-72 W (US-36 W) at exit 92A • go 62.2 miles
Take Exit 35 (US-54, IL-107, Griggsville, Pittsfield) on right

From here you can take 54 all the way to Fort Scott, BUT 54 in missouri twists and turns and it's got hills and everything and if you got some car sick kids there's gonna be one heck of a mess on the floor by the time you get here. It's also a road that's kinda nasty in the dark. (deer, curves, hills and such) especially at the end and it will be dark by the time you get the the curvey parts. You also have to watch the signs cause it's a lot like 116 to indiana: turns in towns and stuff. Mom got lost on the way home because it was dark and she missed a sign.

BUT I'M SURE YOU'LL BE FINE.



I'll pray for you.




If you don't wish to partake in the road of everlasting despair to can take the Kindom City exit from 54 Onto I 70. and take that to Kansas City. Route your way around the city using south or west 470 and using the and 435 west to 69 south (metcalf).

so either the city interchanges of death OR the road of everlasting despair will both lead to 69 (highway to.... heck)

take 69 to fort scott

we are sick and tired of spending like an hour to get all the stickers perfectly aligned and level and everything on our mailbox just to get it creamed a week later so there are no numbers on our mailbox. Call me when you get close...

or lost..

or die ..

but preferably when you get close and I'll run outside with a flash light or something.

welp.. call me if you have any questions.

and before you leave I want you to know that I love you.
:)
have fun.

First off I would just like to say,

44OZ DR PEPPER FOR 79 CENTS AT THE GAS STATION! EVEN LESS FOR REFILLS!
WHY DOES NO ONE TELL ME THESE THINGS?

anyhoo

I am loving my new job. As of mid January I am now back into the world of graphic arts and design and I am loving it. Back into the world of photoshop and illustrator. With that being said I might ALMOST post again on my photoshop blog. The possibilities are endless. It's a little more intense then anything else I have done but I am loving it. I am begining to love the half hour commute to "warm up" and "cool down" for and from work.

Sides that nuthin new...


execpt I'm gonna be a dad.
thats kinda new.

For those that know me..
yeah I know
I don't know if the world is ready yet either

for those who don't know me..
don't panic
the repercussions probably wont hit till the child starts walking.

Until then there's still time to prepare for another me.
What I am bankin on is that there will be enough of "his/her" mothers levelheadedness, calmness, thoughfulness, traits in him/her that will overcome any of mine.

If they don't

well

I just got goosebumps thinking about that possibility.

speaking of,
I was just in missouri/Illinois for a wedding the other weekend and I met a lot a friends that I haven't seen in a long time. I had a great time. One memorable encounter was seeing two great friends of mine from michigan: aaron and becky. It was wonderful to see aaron again and get to fellowship with someone who is on my energy level. One of my favorite moments was at the wedding reception by the Ice sculpture.

probably overheard:
STOP LOOKING AT ME SWAN!
man if I had a hammer
I JUST WANT TO BASH IT!!
HEY KID don't touch IT!
I wonder if my tounge would stick to it..
I want to carry it around and ask people if they want some ice

ahh good times
seriously aaron, when you finish your doctor thing you need to come to Fort Scott.

sides that..
nuthin new
