For Regulus

Posted for my blogger friend Regulus.

My blind friend hates them too. They interfere with his audio equipment and television. When you only have one eye and are almost completely blind in the one you have, you want to be able to hear and see as best as you can.

He wasn't born blind. He needs light. He can still read, just barely. He uses a magnifying glass. He amazes me with how well he functions.

I don't like them either. When the large row of them above me at work goes out I'm thrilled. Of course someone always calls maintenance and they get fixed in a day or two.

Gee, Thanks. NOT.



You can see more Savage Chickens here.

AHHHH!!!! Help MEEEE!!!

I'm being attacked by giant teeth! Save me!!!!

That's actually a casting of my Dad's upper mouth. He's getting as much dental work done as he can before his insurance runs out. Fucking economy. Fucking Bush.

I think Dad handed it to me hoping I would freak out, but maybe not. He knows me well. It was a very odd and interesting thing to examine.

Dad has a new temporary "tooth". He'll get his permanant tooth/bridge soon. He looks much better without the gap there. He's had it fixed before, it kept falling out. His new dentist said the other guy did it completely wrong. I believe that...

My Mother has had a fake tooth for about 30 years. She had a root canal and there is some sort of screw type thing holding it in. It never fell out.


I thought I'd posted about this. I guess I didn't.

Dad has a new creature. That's Samson.

Isn't he terribly cute?

Do you like my horrid satanic/heavy metal goatee thing?

I don't. It's annoying me.

I'm going for it this time though. I'm gonna see how long and strange I can let it get. Maybe braid it if I can grow it long enough.

Here's a pic of Samson on the messy desk.

Quarter, dime, nickle & a penny. A standard sized mouse to show how small he is.

He's not supposed to get much bigger than he is now. He's a "tea-cup" which is smaller than usual. Isn't his little jacket cute? It's a ferret jacket, that's how small he is. He's very sweet...

If he turns insane and attacks Dad, me or the other dogs I'll squish him. Sorry, but chihuahuas have a really bad reputation.

If it's a choice between myself, a family member or the other doggies... Samson will fly across the room. I sincerely hope that doesn't ever happen.

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas. I don't really care. He doesn't have fleas anyway.


Dad took that. I was sleeping on his couch.
<------

Since I can't find a man to sleep with me at least I have Dad's doggies to cuddle with.

That's Jake. He's a pug.

He likes to cuddle.

I joined an online dating service. I'm having absolutely no luck at all.

The only people who really expressed any interest seemed completely insane. The one was obviously a meth addict. No, not going there!

Everyone else is too good looking or nice. I can't contact them.

I guess I could contact one of the fetish freaks.... but they're all too damned scary!

I'm a 41 year old gay man, it's not like I can curl up in Dad's lap and have him hold me anymore.... even though I so badly want to. No, it's not a sex thing! I so want to be a kid again.

So, I guess I'm stuck with my stuffed animals or Dad's doggies. **sigh**

Happy Birthday

To Me.

My Dad just gave me my my birthday gift. I'm sitting here, crying, with snot dripping out of my nose. It's perfect. The cards are perfect.

And now a birthday message from my sock puppet! Take it away Socky!

Happy F bleep ing Birthday!

Should've known better than to use a dirty sock.

Anyway. Happy Birthday

Love Dad

Here's the other one, it's a pop-up card:

A thought for your birthday

gettin' older is like a trip to the outhouse...

Everybody's gotta do it, IT STINKS, and you're glad when it's over.

Happy birthday

Love Dad

He also got me this bit of oddity. Two pairs of shorts from the clearance stuff at K-Mart. They have freaking skulls all over them! Perfection.


He also got me this rather strange sculpture thing of a frog family.


It makes perfect sense to me. **blows nose, wipes eyes***


I was his little "pollywog" once upon a time. I'm suprised he remembers that.

He also finally went and fixed my blind friend's washing machine.


That alone would have been enough of a gift for me.


**last night** Dad. Please go look at his washer. He can't see to fix it. I'll try to help him, but I'll just make it worse!!


Took dad 15 minutes to fix.


I love you Dad. I love you very much. I'd be very lost without you.

Well, duh!

Why are you telling me this? Just go away!!!!

I know what I just did.

It's after 1 am and I want to blare my music and surf the internet. I want to be quiet and not disturb my neighbors.

Don't tell me I just plugged my headphones in!!!! Stupid frigging thing.

I had to call the police tonight. There was a gang fight on my street. I want to say 75 people, but that's probably wrong. It was more like 30 from what I could tell.

How many people are there Mr ********?
I can't tell, and I'm not opening the door to look.

Stay in your home Mr *********.

Awful noise. I was afraid it might escalate into a real emergency situation.... so I called the coppers and asked if they could send a car through. Dispatch already knew about it and cars were on the way. They came really quickly, the crowd was gone by then.

The police seemed to have some idea who they were after though. Marked cars, unmarked cars, some with flashing lights, some without, zooming around. It was kind of crazy.

I'm not some old curmudgeon. Have a party! Have fun! Make Noise! I don't care. Just don't have a fight that's liable to escalate into gunfire near me!

The poor chinese food delivery guy. He called me.

Me not come. I no come.

I don't blame the dude. If he had been brave enough to show up during the mini-riot I might not have answered the door! He did deliver my dinner, hot and tasty after the crowd dispersed.

**sigh**

I shall leave you with a sensuous and sexy picture of......... MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

In my long underwear at the motel from HELL.

That picture of me is the nicest thing about the place.

DO NOT stay at Econo Lodge Beach Block in Atlantic City NJ.

Both mornings we were without hot water for two hours. (we figure they were doing the laundry)

What good is a jacuzzi when you don't have any hot water?

Oooohh!!! Wait!! I can show you video! (sort of)



There was a bit of excitement at the Jewel show. I could have done without it.

During the finale I hear Jewel (I had my eyes closed) ask if there was a doctor in the house. I thought she was going to tell one of her amusing anecdotes...

I open my eyes, the house lights come on... a guy up front had some sort of attack, a seizure or something. (I hope he's OK) His sister/girlfriend/wife is screaming. Hotel staff and paramedics show up....

The whole time Jewel is strumming her gituar, playing peaceful soothing sounds, talking to the man..... singing "please clear the aisles... give him some air... someone call 911." It was positively surreal.

Of course I didn't think to get a picture of THAT!!!




My friend also met well known chef Bobby Flay when she wandered off to use the ladies room.

She was completely thrilled.

I'd have invited him back to our room.

He's not exactly my type, but he is kinda cute, no?

If he tried to put some of his delicious meat in my mouth I don't think I'd object. **wink**

Strange Weather

That's actually the "cowlick" on one of of my Dad's doggies, Jake.

It just grows like that.

Looks like a satellite photo of a hurricane.

Even tho he was half asleep in my lap, getting those pics was a pain. He wanted to "kiss" my phone!

Silly dog.

Beautiful

I stole this from Fifi.

It's quite beautiful isn't it?

I wish my pics came out that well. I'm just using my stupid camera on my phone.

I do get a really good pic now and then, but nothing like this.

You can read her post here.

Read her whole darned blog. She's a wonderful writer.

I think I could fall in love with her.
