Fix my camcorder-anywhere between 5-50...i dont know what needs replaced.


ok...so i need 2 grand to fall from the sky right now to have all that i want...call me greedy but damn it my car is insured now and i need to have 600 for my car and be able to eat too...rahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I LOVE MY CAR!!!

About a week ago i applied for my new licence...i got it in the mail yesterday. Today i freaking got insurance on my lovely GMARRIE but it's not registered yet....when i register it they will take my GMARRIE plate away from me :"( which very much sucks...i paid 35 bucks for that plate. i should get to keep it goddamn it and hang it on my wall. THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hm.........i am happy...well...except that NO ONE KNOWS what Jessica's number is. Aunt Beckie emailed me it today but it "is no longer in service" as usual...my dumb ole sister always has a disconnected phone by the time it makes it to me...HER SISTER.


oooh, nevermind about the plate....someone just stole it.

Lots of stuff going on

Yesterday was David's birthday...he doesnt want me to mention it though...he's 24. Big deal. We ate really well for his birthday. Steaks, lots and lots of veggies, sitting around a bonfire in the resivoir on that beautiful day. It was fun. And now today is grandpa's birthday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!!! he's only 22. ;) And definately acts his age.

Seems like i'm forgeting to say something else about today but i'm not quite sure what that could be...hmm...........

Oh well.

Anyways, i'm doing fine. My potatoes are dying, does that mean it's time to eat them? must be...gonna pull them up today. I got a letter today from grandma Schneider and unfortunately...i cant read any of it. Now...and i kinda feel bad about this...i used to be able to decipher it for everyone else when they couldnt read it but now.....now i cant even read it. There are a few words i recognize but...not many.

I'm making an afgan too i dont know if i told anyone that or not...it's a pretty simple one. it will be very expensive and warm. i've only got a small amount of it done though. i need 70 squares and i've only got 12....gotta get to work!!!

I think that's about it...not as much going on as i thought...it's too bad i cant remember what other occasion today is because i could have sworn something else happened today in the past too...but nothing is more important on this day than grandpa's birthday. Happy birthday grandpa, dont eat too much candy now, remember to smell the roses and sing as loud as you want. We all love you!!

Electric Car

Stop paying for gas!!! Read this and understand that your govt IS against you!!

HO LEEEEE SHIT......

OK...the last post mentioned how DAVID cut his dreads off......well, i'm at work about to go home and there is Gordon's face.......but just his face. No dreads. He cut HIS off last night, the day after David did his....and neither one knew that the other had/was planning such a shocking thing. They both saw eachother today...no dreads.....

A new thought...how will I describe them to people now if i lose them?? I used to say "two dread locked hippies" but now.....i have to tell them a more vague thing... "two tall handsome hippies with very short hair..."




Wow...

WHOA

HOLY SHYTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David just cut his dreads off....YEAH. OFF. Whoa........no really....WHOA. um.....whoa.

i uh....he looks like Chris kinda now....


oh yeah....and to update you, i bought a guitar. A fender.

David's hair.......i've never seen it short except in pictures.

Holy Cripe'n Crunch...

I love cereal...



I've been trying to tell Miranda for a couple days but we never get to talk long enough for me to spit anything out so i'm just gonna say it here....i have a geee-tar. Yes, yes, I BOUGHT MYSELF A FENDER. Yeah yeah, Jordan, i hear you in my head...you dont deserve one...and you're probably right. But the fact that it's not that good of one should make up for it...maybe some day i'll play it for you Jordan...the day after you TAKE ME TO OZZFEST!!!!!

Sorry...got carried away...anyways, what i really wanted to say is...i love the sun. it keeps me warm and happy. I like to play frisbee in the sun. no one would ever play with me, at least not for very long. i like it when people will play until Ginger wears out, because most people wear out quick playing frisbee...but not me. I just get better until i cant run and dive anymore without tripping myself...that's when i need a break...when i crash into a big wall of sand...we had loads of fun today. Oh boy. And my legs hurt from our small hike...dumb us we should have gotten out the compass before we attempted to cross the freeway...at least we were sure footed...except when i let you fall in the river......sorry about that...

Fun day, wish i could do it tomorrow on my second day off in a row!! at most i'll go to the beach and find some cute guy to play frisbee with. neh...i'll just work on my sunburn....yay...

ginger marrie i love me

This friggin sucks

I dont know what to say, other than he was a very inspiring man.

Who is this you say? Shame on you...

Today's Story, as told by me

I woke up this morning around 8:43. I remembered that *she* was working. Before I continue, there is something you mus know about her...

*She* is trying to get fired so she can get unemployment. However she is a bad employee and won't end up getting it. Right now she is only on once a week because she is really rude to customers and employees. Back to today...

I rolled out of bed and found a bowl...no cereal. Grrr...ok, I'm going to work early since I dont think *She* will show up at 10 like she's supposed to, and me at 11.

I make it to the plaza. I see Nancy, she tells me she has my hoodie and she'll send it my way. That made me happy but i'm still hungry...I decide to walk in the back and if *her* car isn't there, i have to go in......her car's not there. My manager was hoping i'd be psychic today and show up knowing that *she* wouldnt be there.

Work work work...starving...super busy...work work....time to go play with money for an hour yay...time to leave. Wait, I have to go get a money order so i can pay my bill...go next door to Rite Aid and a smiling man says over the intercom for me "Supervisor to Western Union please."

Now...maybe i'm wrong, but isnt Rite Aid supposed to BE a "western union" station? The answer? YES. Now i've had trouble before cashing a western union money order, but they said they did everything except cashing them, last time...

Supervisor walks up, looking like she thinks she owns the place, with her dark thick makeup and her long evil black hair fried to a crisp...She stands directly face to face with me (ok so i'm short, but still...she got in my face instead of behind the counter) and pointed at the computer. "Our machine isn't working right now. We can't do western unions."

"So you can't do money orders right now??"

"We dont do money orders. Our machine is down."

"Ok, so you cant do anything western union right now."

"No. We don't do money orders. Western Union IS WIRING MONEY."

"If you don't do money orders and you can't cash them, why do you advertise "western union" even if it were working?"

"Because Western Union is *pause* wyyyering *pause* monnney."

I could have chocked the bitch. I left angrily and came home. (on my way home i found a ripe blackberry and ate it, which made me stop frowning, but i was still upset a few minutes later...) I have since emailed customer service about the incident.

And now, the computer's not working right...today sucked. That is my day.

Adventures

Check this out...I wish i could have bathed under it...I would have except it was a tiny beach surrounded in very high cliffs, and it is a huge fine to get caught down there since they rescue so many people from there. If it wasnt part of a big park where people were coming just to see the waterfall...i would have played in it. Trust me, some day i will bathe in it...


Fourth of July...

VERY VERY VERY CRAZY.....DEFINATELY THE CRAZIEST FOURTH OF JULY I HAVE EVER HAD. Tons of fireworks, bombs going off almost hitting me and oh boy the freaks were out... loads of fun. Cant wait for another such holiday to come where people just feel the need to go crazy...


As for the Heidi....will someone tell her to call? We really miss her and dont know how to get ahold of her...and we need to know where to send the next Amtrak ticket.......WE LOVE YOU HEIDI.

Also, someone, anyone, go find Robbe and give him hugs and kisses for us. We love you and hope you are becoming Superman, Robbe. Nothin' can defeat titanium. Give it time and you will be undestructable.

I love me,

Ginger Marrie

Fixing Template

Sorry everyone...i'm trying to fix my template and well...i'll just be blunt. I'm a little rusty on the html stuff so it's harder than i remember. It wont do what i want it to do and i just dont want to put up with it right now...so please bear with me.

Not that anyone ever reads it anyways....

Cha Cha, and the beat goes on

(sorry allison...)

This game is the greatest game online. I do suggest trying it out, it is alot more fun than you may first suspect. The best one is Yeti Sports 5....

i'm obsessed......

thank you.


I figured out what our plant is called, it's a type of agavé from mexico. it cant handle the frost, sorry you guys i cant send you one. they are a really cool plant though. it's amazing how fast they grow. When we first picked ours it had around five leaves, now (a couple months later) it has filled up it's huge pot and it has thirteen leaves. wow!!!






also, the other day i went for a walk and came back with one large aloe plant. Now, mind you, the aloes around here are very different from the ones i remember at home. As a matter of fact, i cant even remember what the ones at home look like, i've seen so many different kinds!! There were so many of them that i only grabbed one but went back with a pickle bucket (thank you deli) and put two more in it. That's right...a five gallon bucket could barely contain two of these aloes. I think i broke a few of their leaves just easing them into the bucket. And you wont belive this...on my way back with the bucket i also found a free gardening tool in the park. a limb cutter thinggy... i did fantastic for just going for a walk!!

Well, that's all for now...until next time

Please keep me from the Gallows Pole

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile.
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold,
You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
I think I see my brother coming, riding a many mile.
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

Brother, I brought you some silver,
I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everything
To keep you from the Gallows Pole.
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,
I think I see my sister coming, riding a many mile, mile, mile.
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,
Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of this man,
Please take him, save me from the wrath of this man, man.

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that I'm free to ride,
Ride for many mile, mile, mile.

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold,
Brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the Gallows Pole,
Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my soul,
But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole

Swingin' on the gallows pole!

DOGNUTS IN THE SKY, WITH A SIX STRING

It's very important that we acknowledge who we have in our lives before it is too late and they are gone. Tell them we love them, make them know we care. Don't have a bad day, because if you are angry sometimes, that is so much time out of your life that you are not happy. Be happy. It will make other people be happy, it can make the world work. Everything you have today could be gone tomorrow, so make sure you treat those around you well and LIVE. One year ago today the life of the party died. The heart and soul of a spider's web was torn to shreds. The love of everyone's life suddenly was gone. Live while you can, because life goes faster than you think.

We will all meet up again in the Garden, don't worry my friends

For Tony

Ging-

3 BUCKS A GALLON?!?!?!

Yeah....i bet my mother is riding her bicycle. Hell, I bet she's got Jerry riding his bicycle. My car hasn't had more than a quarter tank in it in months...my poor car. I need a new car. This one is almost dead. Literally...it really is you guys. With 189,4something miles on it...the blower moter was almost dead when i GOT the car but it died in like october, the tires are....WAY WAY WAY WAY TOO THIN...the wires are showing on every tire. Not good. The driver's door window quit working in like november and was duck taped shut back in october...it falls in the door. we had to fix the muffler onto the car because it rusted off...which cost us i think like 50 bucks, we replaced the alternator with a fixed one for 108 bucks...that car's been to hell and back. it's grown a life....and yes, there has to be something growing in the floorboards since the floor leaks water in that can't escape...so when it rains there will be standing water in my car...gross.and there's no music in the car or clock which i have been fine without for all this time, but the fact that i dont have a clock to know whta the hell time it is is bad, especially if i think i might be late for work. But i guess not knowing the time helps me get there faster.

Anyways, that's just something i thought i'd share with all of you. isn't it great? Will anyone oh please someone let me know what is up with my DARLING sister??

communication breakdown

oh and by the way, Aunt Pam?? Victor Wooten is a bluegrass man...kinda...

walk a while with me

so long for now

MUSIC

Ok, people...this might sound a little....crazy. But bear with me.

All the hard work of downloading music onto our computer for a long time has failed us, because about a month ago we accidentally reformatted the hard drive and it wiped out EVERYTHING. Movies too...

But right now i need a ....few...things. First off, i was hoping that someone... (NEIL SAMUEL????) might have all that stuff that comes with microsoft (word, excel...stuff) and would somehow (i dont know how but i'm sure it's somehow possible...) to send me a copy of it that i can install on my computer (and it work.)
Also...as for the music...

As long as it is a full album, the answer is YES, i would like it. If you can send me it to my gmail it would be GREAT. This is a list of bands that i am in need of albums from....and like i said, bear with me. Ben Harper

So if you happen to have a full album of any of these people, please send to me. I am in need of having these frigging things. And if you are being a selfish person about your music, just think about how horrible it would be to not have your music in your car. or have your precious cell phones...or your cars for that matter. That is how important this is to us. Please dont be greedy with your music, and please dont tell me to go download them somewhere, WE DONT HAVE A COMPUTER THAT WE CAN DOWNLOAD ONTO.
Thank you for actually taking the time to read this.

My first ticket

As many of you probably do not know, i thought i'd tell you...
I got a ticket one day for stopping in a "keep clear" zone. 165 dollars please...I plead "not guilty" and wanted to bring it to court. What the hell is a keep clear zone!! I know now, and you are all lucky for not ever having to see one...but on the off chance that ONE DAY you finally see one, KEEP CLEAR. If your tires are two inches on the line, you are in the zone. Stay AWAY!!
Anyways, back to the ticket. March 22, is the date they set, and i could have changed it to see if the cop didnt show up...but i didnt. So March 22, i go into court dressed somewhat formal, and wait.... i had to show up at 1pm, i got there at 12:30 just so i could be sure where to go. There are three lists...one for child support...one for something else, and one that had my name on it. It had my name and the cop's name, and it was near the very bottom.
Hours later...it's a little past four and she still hasnt gotten to me. The courtroom has cleared out, there are only two cops left and three people. I was second to last!!
I go up, the cop tells the story, the weather...blah blah blah..."i see a car in the number one lane turn into the number two lane, go around a car, and back into the number one lane...i do a u turn and signal...blah blah blah.." WHAT!! i did no such thing. I am not an asshole driver. I was in the left lane the entire time and forgot that right there it turns into a left turn only lane, so i turned my blinker on and tried to merge...but cars were flying up to the red light so i ended up in the keep clear zone. That's what happened, and I told her i didnt know there was one there. They dont have those where i'm from...
She gave me a reduced fine. She took 85 bucks off so now all i have to pay is 80 dollars by april 20.
Wasn't that worth all the fuss??

Pepperoni Flavored Slim Jims

Dearest whoever reads this...

The other day I was in line paying for gas when I see a selection of slim jims, and I remember my brother. Yes, I thought of my brother. I laughed for five minutes. (no need to explain, those who will remember will laugh and those who are wondering can ask Neil, I think he wrote about it in his blog a while ago) So...the Nazi ora I could smell.

Graduation...early May? The MSU website told me little, but if i deciphered correctly it told me 9 am May 6? Breslin Center? I wish i could drive my car back across...but it needs alot of work. I cant drive it much longer out here, sooner or later i'll get pulled over and i'll be screwed. I'll get a thousand dollar fine for driving a non-smogged car and living out here without changing my license and my id. money i dont have...

I really would like to though, I know if the car made it back to michigan it would likely die a better death there. Everyone looks down their nose at it here, nobody would want it. It's still a good car in Michigan.

What's the word on the Jessica K? Aie?

How is grandpa and his knee doing?

How is the weather?

How is my Miranda? If anyone sees her after reading this, make sure to give her a TREMENDOUS hug. She needs it.

How are my kitties?????? When you see them next, please be sure to give them way way way too much attention, and lots of smothering with kisses and more petting...

Time to go..

ps. the email worked aunt Pam, you got me to update my blog!
