Friday night... or early Saturday morning

Here I sit in this house of dark walls and dim lights, the television barely audible...I leave it on so that I can see a face on the screen...that way I don't feel like I'm home alone. I'm listening to the ticking of two clocks hanging on two separate walls. Funny thing is, they are not ticking in unison, which says to me that they are probably not giving the correct time either. I guess if you want the correct time, you don't rely on a battery operated device hanging on your wall, rather you check your cell phone to know what time it really is.

So, besides that, what's happening with me? Not so much. I did take notice of something breathtaking when I got out of my car tonight after work. The moon had risen in the East in such a gloriously beautiful full white glowing circle of light against a clear blue-black sky that I had to stop in my tracks and stare at it. It was spectacular...a picture, but worth so much more than a 1000 words! I wish I had taken a picture of it, but my little Sony camera would not have done it justice with my humble 3X zoom lens. There was not a single cloud to obscure the view either and with a crisp 40 degree temperature in the air (which I adore), I thought I had died and gone to heaven for just a brief moment.

There is a dog barking in the neighborhood. Every night the little guy barks. I fear he has a neurotic side that causes him distress so much so that he feels compelled to make it known to the entire neighborhood. Perhaps it is the "kids" who live down the street in the college dorms walking down the street or maybe it is a stray cat that upsets him. Perhaps he is just being protective of his home. Whatever the case, he's very vocal about it.

So, how about the economy! I wonder why we can't we just print tons more worthless paper money and pass it out to everyone of us and let us all have a field day spending it on whatever we want, instead of worrying about which corporations to bail out when all that their top dogs know is extravagance for themselves first. Oh yea, they will hang their heads and slyly ditch the luxuries for now (at least outwardly) in a last ditch effort to try and get a handout. Isn't it always the "little guy" who gets stuck with the short end of the stick while the "big man" gets to sip champagne and live in the lap of luxury? There is an old saying that "money talks"...well I can't hear anything.

Where is everyone? Where is the noise that I miss around this house? The silence is irritating. Is that what you get to look forward to in the 2nd half?...blah! Funny how life changes, isn't it? Even the dog stopped barking.

Tomorrow night, I have a party to attend. Maybe I'll just have to paint on that happy face I love so much and kick it up a notch...go crazy with my bad self... whooohoooo PAAAARTTAAAYYYY! umm, yea.

Well, 'nuf of this stuff for one night. I'm starting to sound just like one of those Lifetime movies I watch.

Hope everyone is happy and healthy out there...miss ya, hug ya, love ya!

Ciao!
