today i read that steve-o of jackass fame has been put on suicide watch...

how do you do that?

and what made all of the times he tried to kill himself so un-noticable in the past? oh, yeah... he did it for profit...

but it's weird isn't it?

like putting a circus sword swallower or the trapeze flier on suicide watch.

we'll take off the straight jacket,
you do your circus act,
then we'll put the straight jacket back on ya
- 'cause we think you're gonna try to kill yourself......

that's all, i'll shut up now...

Hello

**knocks on window and looks thru netted curtains

Where are you tarhead, have you turned into a zombie or what.

Yeah I wondered that last week. And now a whole weekend without him? That's weird. Tarhead....we miss you....

still here and kicking - not kicking real high - but kicking.

you know how some people get writer's block? i don't.

i get a different affliction (an a.d.d. additive) - i get stories block. i have about four fully written short stories, and a trilogy - now fully completed inside my head - and they all want to come out at the same time...

two of the short stories have been sitting in my head for about six months, waiting for all of the 3x5 cards to get sorted out and i finally came up with a "head" proof - all i have to do is write.

i actually spent monday through friday cooking the stories, with the intent of shooting them out my fingers this weekend. unfortunately (read fortunately), when i sat down there was a five way argument between all of the people in my head - so i spent friday, saturday, and sunday chasing my sweetheart around the house instead.

still got the stories stuck in my blasted head - but had a really wonderful week(end).

i settled for doing a final edit on world wide web cams and pushing that back up.

smile!

Hey but did you catch your wife...that would make for a truly wonderful weekend! And you're not old, not by a long shot....

caught her a few times (between you and me though, i think she wasn't trying really hard)!

we went to eat at o'briens in bergheim - about once a year the german comes out in me and all he wants to do is eat. no, he's not happy with the local fare, this guy has to get a bratwurst, sauerkraut, and german potato salad.

we usually zip over to fredericksburg to eat but got in the gambling mode.

bratwurst was good
sauerkraut was unusual (and good) - it is made with white wine and green apples added to the recipe
the taters, unfortunately, were just fried potatoes...

all in all, was pretty okay...

then i thought:

o'briens
in
bergheim
in
texas

who'da thunk?
