Late Night Surprise

Thursday night I barely slept. With no air conditioning, my girlfriend tossing and turning next to me, and continued passing of cars on the street, I had little hope of rest. I am terrible with out sleep, though I am not grumpy I have a hard time doing things without my standard eight hours. Even through all the commotion, I think I passed out around 3 AM only to be woken at 4 AM by an index finger poking me in the ribs and a voice saying "Jim, I think Sofee's nail is caught in the blanket". I was like "Huh?", then heard my puppy crying in her crate. This is the first time Sofee has gotten me out of bed in quite some time. She usually gets up around six, regretfully, takes her time to do her daily stretch routine, walks to the end of the stairs and lies down as if to say "my life is so hard". Eventually, and after much coaxing, she comes to the kitchen so that I can put her leash on and take her out to pee.
Well, I don't know what got into her that night, maybe it was the thunder, but she was crying like she was hurt. I got out of bed still 7/8 asleep, opened her cage to see what was wrong, and before I could bend over to look, Sofee jets out of the cage. She runs right to the bed, across Rachelle's head and starts peeing right where I sleep, right on the bed.
This quickly woke Rachelle up as hot dog urine should. I run across the room, grab the dog, and hold her at arm's length. Now only 3/8 sleeping, I began frantically looking for pants so I can take Sofee out to complete her mistake. Rachelle is trying to clean up the mess, but she was still 99/100 asleep, and I'm like, "where are my pants WHERE ARE MY PANTS AHHHHHH". I put some boxers on and decided that was enough given the present circumstances. Rachelle changed the sheets as I took the dog out.

Man, I can't even imagine having kids.

BUSH

Man, I cannot believe this was "the best guy for the job". George Washington was a military master, I don't think he ever lost. Jefferson was without doubt a genius, as was Hamilton (the bastard son of a Virgin Island prostitute... no rich father to make a name for him). Can anyone really say this dude is not the worst president we have ever had? I suppose if you were a jerk, then maybe, but you are a jerk so no one cares what you think.
The thing about it is I feel Bush has had little impact either way on my life. I know he hasn't made my life better or easier, but I don't see how he has made it any worse. I don't know anyone in the Army (and I like to keep it that way), I don't make enough to have my taxes effected, and I don't think he is responsable for oil prices. Even if all the rumors about him are false, people would still never consider him a success.
I guess the thing about it is he is just painful to watch and listen to. He is embarrassing, for himself and our country, I mean, if I were the leader of, say Holland, and I served my country and rose to power without the help of my name and a lot of money I would NEVER listen to him, and why should I? The believe the same about Hillary Clinton, no one will listen to her because she is a woman. It sucks but it's the truth, and the point of being president is to be influential, which Bush is only annoying and seemingly wrong 80% of the time. But for real, give it up man, people are tired of your act.

BLUE


I finally found a copy of Joni Mitchell's "Blue" on vinyl. My uncle Steve has a bunch of great LPs, and he let me borrow it, so even though I don't own it, its great to have if only for a little while. Joni Mitchell is great to listen to on vinyl, she sings like an angel, plays crazy tuned guitars and dulcimers, and for some reason, those little inevitable pops and the constant hum of the record player motor fits with the sad tone she puts down. It really is a very sad album, one of the saddist, and would be ranked up there with Blood on the Tracks and Time out of Mind by Dylan, and Beck's Sea Change.

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet
