I have 12 days left to get my bike ready for the 3rd Annual Congregation Car & Bike Show in Charlotte, NC. I'm plenty motivated, the weather on the other hand is not. April is in like a Lion out like a Lamb up here. My plan is real simple, arrive early and get a parking spot that everyone must pass in and out. Go and look at the rides, observe and then park my rear next to my bike until I get bored. If the Lord so wills it perhaps, someone will be fool enough to ask "Could you build a bike for me, I have money" or even better "Hi, I'm Sam von Spam from 'some bike magazine' can I take pictures and ask questions?"...."sure, knock yourself out".
"There's no place like home...there's no place like home." Thanks Dorothy but, I'm aware it ain't gonna happen. You don't have to rub it in. I carry the mark of L visible only to the fates so they know who to safely take a dump on. Get back home Loretta.
True dat? I haven't done anything but crap jobs since I was laid off almost SEVEN years ago, we could have moved to where the money was but, family came first.
When I was at IRC I was important, they depended on me being there and getting the job done. The machines I kept running made profit, we were just not profitable enough to satisfy our Corporate Overlords. I did that with my wits and determination, and nothing I've done since has come close.
All I've done since is crap that monkeys could be trained to do. Being the best at doing crap is still doing crap! Doing work I actually enjoy would be nice.
The season is about to begin at BRCC, 6 nights a week all summer long. It pays good for here and I guess I shouldn't complain but, I'm not getting any younger and I don't want to wind up like the old people who work til they die and never do anything else. Some are quite happy to do that and good for them, truly if that floats your boat GREAT! "More par t ye".
I do not get the sense that that's God's plan for me, I mean why make me the way I am, just to fester, bustin' my ass working with potheads who are too messed up to have a productive conversation with. All that does is make me frustrated and wanting to get zonked with them to forget what a total waste of time it is. The crew of college kids changes but, they don't listen to an old biker with weird assed ideas. Aaaaaaaagggggghhhhh!!!!!< that = frustration. Yes, my problem is I'm frustrated because I'm reaching NO ONE!!! No one gives a shit! That is a fact, Jack!
"You know, the Bible wasn't written for 21st Century America and cannot be properly understood when viewed from that context"...
"oh...is tha...I haven't seen you at church recently"...
"Yeah, because it's bullshit"...
"you said a bad word"...
"ya know, I think God looks at what we do and says the same thing in Heavenese!"
Stunned silence...
"Well answer me this because, I'm having a hard time with it. Why is it that people go to church say 30 years and never seem to get past step one? Y'all rehash the same thing over and over and over but, no one seems to grow. The turd you met 30 years ago is still the same turd just fatter and balder?!"
Now, that is a conversation I've never had, I want to but, I'm much too nice to say such things outside the house.
Yes, the people that occupy the same space as I hear stuff like that all the time. They are immune. At least my daughter is still gracious enough to feign interest and she's showing signs of "seriously?"
No, I have a new goal; forget everything I've just tiped, I'd erase it.....nah, can't someone else do it?
I want to leave this cage NOW, no more fooling around I'm done, I'm on strike " I demand heaven Now! I'm not gonna achieve diddly squat and it's a total waste of Your valuable resources Lord, just take me now!! Done"
Dang! I'm starting to sound like a .....wait for it......a JEW!!! Another failed experiment. Well, that experiment was meant to fail so, God could bring salvation through Jesus.
The problem with Evies is that they're self appointed receivicants of Salvation and not actually God chosen Saints therefore very much slaves to the flesh and the few elect are just not numerous enough to have an impact because, they are buried under a mountain of man made crap. A uniquely human trait, take something God made and destroy it.
This is why I prefer the company of nature to that of people, once creation accepts you as a non threatening ally, it's like you have a new family that extraordinarily wise. I'm just cracking the lid of the wisdom contained in creation left there by it's Creator. Creation rejoices in sharing but, we are "thick" as in slow in comparison.
