Good morning eveyone!
Congratulations mesa.
Monday morning. ...we can deal with this.
Short week for me cause I'm off Thursday and Friday. I need a break from work. Really I need two weeks instead of 2 days but I'll take what I can get.
weight watchers is working and I'm down 3 or 3.5 lbs in the first week. I'm very excited about that. I need to do this.
so...I guess I'll get moving and go for morning dog walk.
See you all later.
Jsbodhi. ...you ok?

Interview went really well. I was only nervous for a couple of minutes. I know these people well, since I already work with them. So it was fine. They asked all the typical interview questions, and I was prepared with answers. So now it's just waiting. They said they'd know by the end of the week.

Good Show on the Interview, Marty!

Below is the Welcoming Committee last Night about ~50' away when returning from the Dog Park. They're so used to Humans, I had to shout out the Truck Window so they'd look up for the Pic. Easy Livin' around here...

A massive, noisy Tom Turkey sauntered by this Morning. Wildlife City up here.

While I knew about some of the Manufactured Crisis surrounding 'Louie Louie' Lyrics, this Article caused some serious Giggles this Morning. Never a bad thing. The Lyrics are supposedly a riff off an old Caribbean Fisherman's Sing-Song. In the Link below, read the actual Lyrics - always readily available from the U.S. Copyright Office - and 119 Pages w/redacted Text 'summarizing' the FBI findings. Boy, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

'Ground Control to Major Jen'...

I'm glad the interview went well Marty. Sending best wishes.

You live on some beautiful land with great wildlife Mesa. Do your dogs chase the deer?

I seem to usually see deer driving down the back roads and sometimes they want to play chicken with the car.

SUID ~

MesaDog is just shy of 7 Human Years old, and we're only now approaching that whole 'Deer Chasing' thang. So far, we avoid encounters by scouting out where they are first as their Heads pop up above the Sage. So far, so good. But, yah, that's a concern. As is the Mountain Lion that takes out Deer in a Canyon w/Spring and Cattails on one side of our Mesa. Deer 'round here wait until you drive by, and then they leap in front of your Vehicle. All my encounters thus far have been near-misses.

When we announce that his 'Girlfriends' [the Deer] are outside the Solar Glass Doors, he scrambles like mad to see them. Paws get to flyin' on this Stained Concrete Floor like some Cartoon Dog Routine. Him chasing a smushed Plastic Seltzer Bottle across the Floor is another bit of Rural fun 'round here.

At our Gate above, we're @ 6,150'. Mighty stunning Stars/Planets last night!

I have a sugar scull and several lilies on my left arm, mostly to cover up scars from when I used to cut myself. I was unhappy with the sugar scull as it didn't cover two scars completely, so I got another lily. And it hurts....

Hi everyone xo

I got a lot of emails, thank you very much.xoxoxo

I suppose I should talk instead of just running off.
Running away is just normally what I do.
I just think I'm having an identity crisis or something.
I grew up here in a bad neighbourhood and have been pretty deviant since I was young, really bad throughout my teenage years, kinda bad in my 20's.
I guess I just have a reckless personality, I'm struggling with clean living because it feels unlike me, I've never really done it.
I'm not trying to go for any kind of bad girl image, I appear like quite a goody two shoes with having a business, going to university, driving a family car nissan...

I tend to feel the need to be misbehave on the inside, I do all kinds of deviant things that I tend to keep to myself - I get happy ending massages in Asia, I have a hells angel romantic interest I spend time, with that nobody knows about except Melina and my best friend in LA ( well now all of you know)
I tend to take off on trips and have little misbehaved excursions where no one knows me and there's no possibility of anyone finding out- nothing very bad, just deviant, I don't hurt anyone or anything, the behaviour is just outside of normal socially acceptable things.
If I didn't study criminology I'd probably be a criminal.
If my business didn't work out I was going to strip to pay my tuition.
I think the cleanse did push my over the edge- it was too clean living, I've been feeling uncomfortable with this transition.
I like to get high more than I realized- it doesn't matter what kind, extreme sports, drugs, alcohol- anything that gets the blood rushing actually; I even enjoy exams because they make my heart race and I get scared.

I guess I need to figure myself out, this probably doesn't make any sense, I just feel lost, lonely too because I've given a lot of people up because I don't want to go down that road with them.

I honestly don't really understand myself.
I don't know if I do these things because it's just a part of me or if I'm self destructive.
I do enjoy life very much and I love the living of it; so I don't think it's because I have some death wish or something.
I don't know, just thinking out loud.
I'll stay, I just felt like a hypocrite if I was here.
I do love the sober, clean life very much, but I love the other side too.
I guess it's like Dee says, just gotta choose one.


Thanks for caring about me everyone, I really appreciate it and I'm sorry to be such a hot mess on here lately.
I feel like I'm kinda flailing around in this transition period or something.

This probably all sounds very stupid.
I suppose it's the battle of the two wolves that SW is always talking about


And I've been biting my tongue for a very long time about something and I'm going to have to say it.

I don't think Stephen King's writing is very good since he stopped drinking.
There, I finally said it.

Really great to see you back and facing, conversationally anyway, the demons you feel bring you angst.

Let's start with happy ending massages. Not in the deviant category. Just saying.

I hear a lot of critical thinking. Self judgments that seem harsh. So you have a bad boy relationship. No one is judging and if they are then maybe they shouldn't be.

Not understanding yourself is also an acceptable place to be. Think of the alternative? Knowing yourself well and predictably well? Hell no! Keep the discovery alive.

I still need to figure sheet out myself. Everyone here does.

No need to run to be ok. We will follow up anyway!

Please stick around. Please don't drink. Please post first.

Ken
