I mentioned in an earlier post (when I thought I'd be moving back to Chatty, but didn't) that one of the neat things about being back in Chatty would be that I'd be able to see the "Famous People" again. I'm living in a different part of Chatty right now, and I didn't think I'd be seeing the "Famous People," but, come to find out, I've seen a couple of them! Oh happy day!!! On the very day that we moved here (in the new house) I saw the one, the only "Chicken George!" Turns out that he lives right up the road from us, so I'll be seeing a lot of him... In related news, I just saw "That Old Drunk Man" walking down the road in front of our house! Two, two "Famous People." Ahh ahh ahh!

This is great! We love our new house. We don't have to pay rent anymore, so we can afford little luxuries, like having cable TV! I think the electric bill is going to be a lot cheaper, too... Actually, ANYTHING is cheaper than $140 a month for electric! I crap you not, friends, our electric bill was usually right around $140 every month in the old place... One-Hundred, and Forty dollars!!! We don't have a phone at the moment, but I think we'll be able to afford to get one soon. Maybe. Hopefully. Gotta kinda be careful, because we've got insurance and taxes to pay on the house every year now.

Anyway, Merry Christmas!!! God bless. Peace be.

“LIFE WASTED”
~Pearl Jam

You're always saying that there's something wrong,...
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...

Death came around, forced to hear its song,...
And know tomorrow can't be depended on.

I seen the home inside your head,...
All locked doors and unmade beds.
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that

I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

I escaped it,... A life wasted,..
I'm never going back again.

Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again

The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else.

Nothing back there for you to find,...
Or was it you, you left behind?

You're always saying you're too weak to be strong,...
You're harder on yourself than just about anyone,...

Why swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?

Darkness comes in waves,... tell me,
why invite it to stay?

You're warm with negativity,
Yes, comfort is an energy,...
But why let the sad song play?

I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

Oh I escaped it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

Oh I erased it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

Back In The Saddle Again

Back in Chatty! It's the end of Day 3 in the new house. Everything is going really great, for the most part. I mean, the house is still in a bit of a mess, because we haven't had time to put all the stuff where it belongs... Bags laying around everywhere... A lot of things in the house don't seem to work. The kitchen sink faucet leaks badly. The washing machine doesn't work. The dryer doesn't work. We can't get our Christmas decorations up, because half of the lights don't work! But, other than that, it's typical moving stuff. Ozzy loves the place! He's getting into everything that he shouldn't be. He's in love with the Christmas tree (which we finally got up tonight, but it still doesn't have any decorations, but the lights don't work --- Gotta love "hand-me-downs," huh?).

Man, work sucks! I don't have any time to do anything anymore. I just work, sleep, and go back to work. It's really bothering me, because I don't get to spend much time with my sweet angel girl, my life, my soulmate, my Denise... And I don't get to see my mom much, and that sucks, too, because of her cancer thing, and she really needs me right now, and I don't have time to be with her! There should be jobs that only require you to work, like, 2 hours a day, and have the other 22 hours to yourself, man!

The Final Frontier... Not Space

Hey, hey! Historic moment, man! This, what you're reading right now this minute, will be my last post while being held captive by the monkey. I mentioned it the other day, but in case you missed it, or forgot, or you're just too lazy to scroll down and read my last post... WE'RE MOVING!!! We're going back to Chatty, in a nice little house we found there, like, in July, or sometime back in the summer. It's been a while, but we're finally getting in there. No more rent. No more landlords telling us what we can, and cannot, do. Ozzy can finally run free, and not have to live in constant fear of the evil monkey. Cruel Music will get back to business, too, because I'm building a studio in the work shop out back. It's a cool house. Be on the lookout for pictures soon... FREE AT LAST!!! FREE AT LAST!!! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, WE'RE FREE AT LAST!!!

Debra is baby-sitting for us. The landlord just did his final inspection. I paid rent for the last time, Friday. WE'RE MOVING!!! We got a house down in Chatty. More on that later... =) Going to 10's big birthday bash right now... Peace.
