working on my web site...

there's no way i'm at work and not working... none. i'm filling in at post oglethorpe today and it's terribly slow. i'm looking out the window at the pool, which is just screaming for me to jump in. i have only been in the pool, i think, once this year. that's not normal.

i transferred over most of my addresses from my old gawriterpalmer account to the web site account. this weekend i will dedicate time to putting up picture pages that are long overdue. expect an e-mail from me to let you know when it's completed as well as a link to update all your info, such as birthdays, anniversaries, snail mail address, etc...

christine and i went to see the braves whip up on the giants last night. we sat on the lexus level, which are excellent seats, behind home plate. it's a little higher than i like but the view was great. my boy, jeff, was perfect last night: four-for-four! he's amazing. "the natural" i'm jealous a bit... ok, a lot.

i sit here thinking... was this the same way mickey mantle started out? what about babe ruth? did the fans of their time just think, "hey, this is just another kid from down the street?" did they automatically assume that at some point the streak would end and their games would fall in line with every other player?

when do you stop believing that jeff is going to be the next mickey... babe... phil...? i'm not. besides, i have a year-old autographed ball with his original number (12)... it's my retirement account. ha.

to get a bit sappy... i was in a very good mood last night. while at the game, there were these two guys on the jumbo tron who made me think... judging by their hair cuts, mustache, clothing choice and mannerisms, i assumed they're from the country, probably lower class people.

anyway, i told christine the fact that they were on the jumbo tron probably made their night. we take for granted sometimes the luxuries we have. for those two -- and i am just assuming -- may have had to save for weeks to come to the game. it may be the only one they could afford this year.

i guess my point is that we shouldn't judge people... and we shouldn't take things for granted. my mind works in mysterious ways. that's just one of the weird thoughts that came from it's cavity.

i am broke. did i mention that? (another random thought, brought to you by my mind.)

i had a really good conversation with a new friend last night that made me feel real good about myself and some of the decisions i've had - or chose - to make lately. it's also made me realize that there are some more things that i have to address, sooner than later.

i failed to mention that after the game we went to blake's to watch family feud... blake's whipped up on charlie brown's cabaret but both teams were good sports.

it's amazing to me that just a few weeks ago miss ruby redd was bad-mouthing charlie brown, namely about her weight loss and low amount of patrons at her new flagship cabaret, because last night sugar would not have melted in her vile mouth.

she hung over charlie like a school girl does her first boyfriend. cut-downs were thrown out against raven, another entertainer that intimidates her, obviously.

having issues with others is alright. hell, we're human and it's expected, natural. but why be a two-faced bitch about things? if that's your opinion, keep it. when you feel one way and you change it makes me believe two things: first, you're a liar. and second, you're a scared-ass, insecure, two-faced, fat, ugly, bitch.

that's just my opinion.

expect another rant, too... i'm working on a page concerning lamar outdoor advertising and the decision of at least one manager not to display "gay" billboards in south georgia. i can totally understand it having been reared there but have a lot to say about it.

it's after one o'clock. i'm going to lunch.
