Nothing Reall-e

So...not much to say, but I'm trying (hard) to post every day or two. My wife and I went to Wall-E the other day, and I had a very lukewarm reaction to it. The jokes were kind of obvious, and the "message" was really crammed down the audience's throats. Yeah, alright, Internet bad, Real World good. Whatever.

I've been geocaching a lot, and I got my first Travel Bug. See, a travel bug is a metal keychain the size (and plink-sound) of a military dogtag. The object of the game is to pick it up from one geocache and drop it off at another one.......and I feel like I told you about this in the previous post. Whatever, no going back now.

I got into a conversation with a member of the cleaning crew where I work. She doesn't sound local, sounding more like someone south of the border. She mentioned that her husband and herself don't celebrate the Fourth of July. And I guess that doesn't surprise me much. My wife and I barely get to celebrate, because of her crazy retail-manager hours, and my wish to work on more holidays to get better pay. In the end...I'm not huge on the 4th anymore. It's more of a holiday for kids and/or pyromaniacs. I like fire, and I like seeing things burn. Unfortunately my conscience, my need to avoid jail-time, and my overall need to live a long, boring life prevent me from lighting things on fire. But little green army guys always burnt the best, and the smell! Whew, to DIE for! Calvin Klein has nuttin on those guys.

Besides that, I'm writing again. I'm taking it very, very slow, so I don't lose my will to write this story. It's about my Junior High School years, with some fiction thrown in. I had a very rough time of it, and for a while I didn't think I was going to be able to go on, literally. I obviously did, but there were some almost comedically sad moments here and there. I want to basically write a rough account of the goings on back then, and maybe write a couple things to end differently. My main influence is actually the movie Superbad. I didn't entirely care for the movie, mainly because it's a little too close to my life back then, as far as the embarrassment and self-conscious life I had back then.

Annnyhow, that's about all there is to say for the moment. Take care youtze.
