No phone and a lot of rain.

I thought I would die without having a phone for a few days but it actually hasn't been that hard. I don't get text messages so that gives me a lot of time that would be given to checking my phone, using my thumbs excessively, and reading one word replies. I should be getting a new/old phone by Wednesday which will be good so I can actually know what time it is and not have to carry around a portable sun dial. Okay-- I don't carry one around, but still.

It's been raining a lot for the past week and I woke up this morning to thunder. I decided to go back to sleep because there is nothing to do at work in the rain. I went with my friend to lunch at the Cannon Center and then I went into work and started weeding and pruning some trees and then weed whacking. I used the eye glasses this time and had to put new line on the weed eater two times. I'm just glad I've gotten the hang of it and I didn't kill anyone or run over anything alive today.

While I am thinking of other things to say I want to address this topic of "intimidation". Most people that I meet say that I am intimidating or scary the first time they meet me. How in the heck do you infer this? By the fact I ask you your name and try to include you in things? By the way I listen to what is going on and not say anything? It's kind of annoying. I see people stand around and look at me but they never say anything to me. I guess I have a mask on or a sign that says "buzz off bucko". I know I'm really honest and I'll probably call you out on something that I don't like, but that is me! I know when not to open my mouth but I'm not one to hide my opinion. In fact, I'll give it to you even if you refuse to hear it. I don't side with other people on serious issues or trivial ones just for the heck of it. I want to know why you believe in it and give me a defense. I've got a brain and I do know how to use it. So if you are intimidated by confidence and smarts then I suggest you "man-up" or run to someone else who can make you feel like you are the bomb.com without even doing anything. I guess I've just heard a lot of this stuff lately from people and wanted to say something about it.

Well I'm gonna head out and find some stuff to read.
Holla!
