I apologize for the harshness that accompanied the statements about my neighbors they are really nice people...just a little misguided, um, about politics....and I try not to be critical of people because of their beliefs.

I'm a Duck...

Well boys and girls, I was told by the one reader of my blog that it was time for an update. So here we are....coming to save the day. Nothing new has really even happened since my last post. My minor health issue seems to be nothing more than ANOTHER cyst....gosh that's like three that I have now.
So basically I have been doing nothing, just sitting around my house gaining weight and picking up dust. I am trying to get motivated and work out and go for walks but am often thwarted by Iowa's shitty snow/ice and the lack of snow removal by the fine (ha ha) people of Pella. I try to do yoga but Riley seems to think that I am jungle gym. Needless to say that these obstacles are taking wind out of my work out sails. However, this lack of activity/loneliness is not the motivator that I thought it would be. It seems to be sapping my amazingness out of me...which, of course is why I should say weather be damned and go have awesome snow ball fights with the chillins of the 'hood.

It has become apparent to me that the end of my time in Pella is not nigh....I would say that I am in the middle of my stay. Basically, it boils down to lack of fiances to get the fuck out. Any money that I had saved is nowing being thrown into an Iowa City reunion (yipee!!!! this is NOT sarcasm), getting my cats lady parts worked on and taxes (fucking hell, I have to pay those now?) All of this is a result of my weirdly wanting some sanity, my cat to be healthy and to not get thrown if minimum security prison. Although going to prison could help me in the working out department? ehh maybe not. Being self employed blows, but it does beat working at walmart/Casey's/mcds. Speaking of Wal Mart I am thinking this spring I should get a part time daytime job there (just for MORE $). I know I know...'I have a college degree'. Unfortunately, in Pella that makes about as much difference as pointing out that God loves everybody (yes, even those gay people). Speaking of God loving Gay people my neighbors have a Huckabee yard sign (yuck!) These, of course, are the same people that take the babies to church...apparently they want our country to burst into a pile of religious-conservative-broke-gay-hating mess (instead of the mere rapid creep that we have right now). Dear God, help me save my babies. If you don't know what I am talking about then go here....I found this little tid bit on Perez...it's scary as hell.

PS they are the same article I just want to make sure that the two people that stumble upon this can read it.

That was a mayja side tangent. Now back to my future at Walmart. See the only places in Pella that give a shit about a degree are City jobs (which I don't feel like making a long term commitment to this place) and Pella Corp. I DO NOT want to go back on the 3rd shift which is all they hire for (you have to work your way onto nights, then days takes about 5 years) AND they just had a massive layoff AGAIN. I am, however, going to try my luck at the library before I grudgingly crawl my way to walmart entrance to slavery.

So that is my thought process right now....it's the same shit erreeday. Oh and I got a new haircut. Es un madre haircut. Well that is mi vida, loves.

Peace, L.

It's been awhile...

As of right now nothing really new is going on in my life. I am going through some minor undiagnosed health problems, but don't fret chillins I am sure it's nothing to worry about. I just recently finished reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. It's probably the most profoundly depressing book I have ever read. It's about a man and his son who are traveling on the road in post-apocalyptic America. All they have is a cart full of blankets, whatever food they can scavenge, and a pistol with two bullets. They aren't the only ones alive though. They have to hide from cannibalistic gangs. I won't say much more about the plot because it is a book that you MUST read. I will however type up a couple of my favorite lines from the book.
"Like pilgrims in a fable swallowed up and lost among the inward parts of some granitic beast." pg. 3

"He knew only that the child was his warrant. He said: If he is not the word of God God never spoke." p. 5

And my favorite quote from the whole book;
"People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there." p.168
