SPRING CLEANING 2K11

My how time do fly when, when life is flying by.  I took a look around here and found a couple of dust balls collecting over in the corner and decided they needed to be spring cleaned.  I have a couple of posts where as Chief Cook and Bottle Washer of this operation, wrote action items, things to be done, that as of now were left untouched.


First is a post, done way early in this young infants life titled, A BUCKET LIST, A NEW DECADE, AND MOVING ON.  Posted January 8, 2010:

The other day, my ex-wife suggested that I put together a list of things I want to do.  A "The Bucket List", if you will.  She reasoned, that since she started doing that, she has been crossing things off, left and right.  The fact that, I think, she started doing it, after she left me, is besides the point.  But, we can chalk up another reason, why I'm divorced in the first place.

Now, I'm really not a list kind of guy, I just don't roll that way.  I generally disfavor, grocery, to-do, goal, reading, writing, letter to Santa, types of lists.  I tend to keep things, in my head.  Remember those, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste", anti drug commercials?  Well, let's just say, some of my head lists, may have wound up in the spam folder, but I digress.

Our conversation, kind of went like this...The Ex- "You should make a list of things you want to do, I've been doing it, and it's great".  Me- "O.K., sounds good, I'll do it".  The Ex- "No you won't, I can tell by the sound of your voice, your not going to do it".  Me-  "Yes, I WILL!".  Yes, No, Yes, NO...on it went.  A couple of weeks later, we had another phone conversation.  The Ex-  "Have you made your Bucket List yet?".  Me- "No, but I'm working on things, in my head".  The Ex- "See...I told you, you weren't gonna do it!".  As an aside, I am an only child.  I fully admit to having, only Child Syndrome.  You don't tell a only child, you can't/won't do something, it tends to get us motivated.


So here it goes.  Not in any particular order, some are, some aren't.  Again, It's how I roll.  To The Ex, Thhhhhuuuuuppppppp,  a Stagots, and Thank You.

I left 9 and 10 Blank, on purpose.  I would like you, my readers, to fill those in for me.  Just drop a comment, on what you think I aught to bucket.  Please keep in mind however, that I DON'T want to, Skydive, Scuba-dive, Nosedive.  ( folks mainly filled these in with me getting laid while on a Carnival Cruise).

So...Howmy doin' sooooofarrrrr?

Next is a post done fairly recently titled,  I AM GOING LONG...REAL LONG...  Posted June 15, 2010.  Good God!  It's been a year and not a whole lot of growth on top of the old noggin.  As you can see from my 'header' pic (no pun intended) I do have a beard, and my 'goat' is a little longer than my original profile pic, which I can't seem to find to install here.  Needless to say my length of hair is in a bit of a transition phase.  Which is more or less, it's difficult for a 52 year old with male pattern baldness to 'go long' from a crew cut starting point..  All in good time, cause I have plenty of it.  

Ppppphhhhhhyouweeeeee, I'm tired of all this spring cleaning!
