Using My Time

Seems fitting tonight




And for those who may be wondering(Galen), it was a Cabernet Sauvignon, from Blackstone winery in California, vintage 2003. And yes, it was quite good. I had it with Penne noodles with Bertolli sauce, to which I added meat, onions, green peppers, and garlic. Yes, it was bottled sauce, but it was all the super market had, since they had no herbs or spices to speak of. Over this I had some permesan and Romano cheese.

I'm just glad no one is trying to hold me hand

Okay, so one day while working I was doing a trash run. If you don't work in the custodial department at Disney let me explain what it is, baisically you go and empty the trash cans, and the important part here is that you are supposed to wear these latex gloves. Okay, so this garbage run took a little more than an hour, and when I was done I took off my gloves to find my hands soaked. I was a little disgusted since many of the bags were leaking and so I figured that some how the liquid had leaked through the latex gloves. I washed my hands and moved on. The next day I was doing a trash run, again wearing latex gloves. At the end of the run I took off my gloves to again revel soaked hands, enough to make my hands all wrinkled, like I had been in a pool for an hour. Not only that but when I took them off the liquid kind of sprayed around and my hands were actually dripping with this liquid. I of course assumed that the gloves had some how leaked again....except none of the bags I pulled were leaking. In fact the out side of all of the bags were bone dry. It was then that it dawned on me that the liquid was not coming from the outside by the inside.
So, apparently my hands produce so much sweat during a single hour as to wrinkle my hands and still soak my hands so much so that I shake them and watch the sweat fly.

I guess I don't have a girl friend trying to hold my hand....

How Ironic

So, a citizen of America is arrested for protesting at a press conference with Bush and the the Chinese predident. What was she protesting? The lack of freedom in China, at least in part. So, a woman in supposedly the most free country on earth is arrested and will likely face up to 6 months in jail and/or $5,000 fine, for protesting the lack of freedom of another country in the presence of that countries leader......

I don't find it particularly outragous or anything, mostly I just found it funny. It gave me a good laugh while on my break.

You Can Run But You Can't Hide

So, I'm in Florida now, in case you didn't hear. I waited months and flew 3 thousand miles, and I must say that it was worth it. I love it down here, and at least at the moment I never want to leave(we'll see how I feel when it starts getting 90+ outside).
Despite all the distance I have traveled, very little has really changed. I find myself worrying/wondering/thinking about the same things, I find myself having similar problems, they're just farther away. I wonder what it is about leaving your home that makes you think that everything will change. I guess it is because it is a new start, a new thing, and if what you are doing is going to be new, I guess I figure that who I am will be new too. What's funny is that I think that everytime I start something new, and it has never actually happened. I wonder if I'm ever going to figure out that I don't change when my surroundings do. I probably won't, but at least I will always have something to look forward to.
