Blog post: June 24

 Monday I went camping.. They predicted a couple of cool-ish days so I decided I should 'jump' through the window and take opportunity of the nice weather and the cool-ish air and 20% chance of rain plus I wanted to try out my new tent!. It was really nice, had a nice spot, took along walk, saw like 6 or 7 rabbits, talked to some nice people, very interesting, talked for like 45 min. to an hr. Both the guys I talked with had dogs, they were awesome!. Running around playing, very friendly!. (the dogs) Although what surprised me was the 1rst guy had 3 dogs and they were all males, but they all got along fine!. Then the other guy that came down just had 1 dog and it was very friendly/energetic!.  (heck they were all friendly and energetic even the guys.......well...... maybe not energetic) Now I've been camping a few times now, up here in Kansas down in Florida, and I get people will stay up till 11, 12 but 20 till 3 !!.. (REALLY) He came down in the lot, parked across the way, so he (or she) was not near me, but whoever it was had this...... high beam....... halogen.....looked like a car with its high beams on, but it was a flashlight.....Idk, maybe they were fishing/looking for frogs/ditching a body idk.....So the next morning I got up, took alittle walk (that's when I seen the rabbits) came back, did my usual camping stuff, wait till about 12 then take taxi to McDonalds for lunch, only I ate at Wendy's then walked around Wallyworld then taxied back then sat and thought for a while, "I don't need this 3am wake up shit" so I packed everything up and went and got a room for 2 nights!. Ok....so, my back didn't like that, but hey,  give 'n' take....... give 'n' take!.  

Blog post: May 1 (May Day, May Day)

 It's been quite awhile since my last post.... 3 months!. (I'll try not to make it so long) Yesterday, I just got back from a little 2 night vacation I gave myself from the local motel !. It was a nice stay, went to Wallyworld and Wendy's and a few others.. I was gonna go camping for a few nights but decided to just go get a room.. I've been having some problems with my knee so I thought it'd be better to  get a hotel room.. I still got a few weeks of cool nights I believe maybe I'll still go camping if I'm still here!. It was nice being able to watch tv, or walking over to Arby's or BK.I gotta be honest with you though, it was kinda nice to get back to my recliner, I do not sleep well on a bed so I sleep in a recliner, (since 2011) very rarely can I sleep as long as 5 days without waking up at..... like.....an hr. or hr. and a half, after going to sleep at night, then I have to wait about that long before I can fall asleep again.. With a recliner however, I get a solid 6 or 7 hrs.

 Well here we are, new yr. (hope it's better than the last) new Pres. (again, hope he's better than the last one) I got a brand new 4 person tent, kinda looking forward to try'n it out!. Last time I went camping,had a pretty good time got to see some deer afew raccoons, had some neighbors.. It was last June or July, there were 3 days were the temps were gonna be in the low50's to 40's and the highs were in the 70's, with clear to mostly clear skys and 20% or lower rain, so I hopped on that wagon!. Since  the campground is a mile or so from McDonalds, I'll just call a cab and make a quick run through the drive thru and take it back and eat it at the campsite, and maybe afew cookies as a late night snack!. I don't really bother with any food when I go, other than maybe some cookies/candy bars and maybe some sodas.. Lived here for about a yr. and a half and only been camping 3 times, I've been once back in '09 and.....I think.....before that was......the mid. 80's (idk) but I'm starting to get back in the camping game, I like the outdoors, I like camping!..

 This here is an ode to my beautiful town (yeah right) Girard Kansas;

 I just love to look at all the beautiful homes that are in Girard, (not really)... All the lawns are kept so neat and tidy (right)... Except for the 'Courthouse' the 'Courthouse' and the yard around it, is always kept either mowed every week, or mowed to keep the leaves off the yard... (now getting back to my, 'Ode To Girard Ks.') All the people here are just so nice and warm and friendly (🤔🤔🤔)... The neighbors on my right side (or left depending on how you're standing) have a nice big, round, abuve ground pool, which I think from May to Aug. they only used twice,  and....... well......... it's just one big round ice cube now, yes it's still standing with water!. Last yr. they took it down, but they basically just left the pool laying laying on the side from  Oct. io May (imitating a big blue pancake).... I'm sorry, I keep getting of track... Were was I...Oh yeah!...Nice, 'n' warm 'n' friendly (yada yada) I really like how people here ask you, "Hey, were ya off too"?. or, "When you gonna be back"?. err someth'n like that, I get more acnoloment, from all the dog's in the area!. They see me leave, "Ruff Ruff"!. They see me come back, "Ruff Ruff", for all I know,they could be, welcoming me back, or maybe, "Hey, how long you gonna be"?. It could be anything, but whatever it is it's directed at me, I see them and they see me!..... (oh maybe, "Hey we missed you while you were away") You think what you want and I'll think what I want!.. Well, like Ozzy said, "I think I'm going off the rails" and I think I went off  the rails here a few times!. I started a poem and finished with.............something else!.

                                                      I hope you enjoyed............whatever this was!.  😃😄

 Well, Halloween came and went and just yesterday was, 'Friday the 13th,' which is kind of like a holiday in it's own right, I guess maybe it could  be a, 'Day' like we have, National Doughnut Day' and 'National Hotdog Day' there's even a, 'National Happiness Day' so why couldn't we have a, 'National Friday the 13th Day' it could even be a ratings booster for that movie....uhh....you know, that movie!?. Well, just a few more days and it'll be, 'Turkey Day'!......... (There's another, 'Day') 

I may be moving back east,northeast this time, New York!. I like Fla. know people there, just that it's not exactly my thing!. I like 4 seasons (where Fla. just has 2 summers and a fall) in the fall, I'd rather jump into a pile of leaves (not a pile of palm fronds) I don't exactly like to wear shorts all yr. round!. When I moved out here in Kansas a little over a yr. ago I liked it, being on my own, my own independence........ehh....A little over a yr. later though, not so much... Just not my area anymore, so I guess now I'm looking forward to living in N.Y. !.... 

I went to Wallyworld last Wed. got a little 24" tree!. It has those little bendy branches on it and I got 1 big Christmas ball, and I never did  bend the branches to make it look like an actual Xmas tree, so now I just call it my Charlie Brown Tree!.

 Well it's almost Halloween, (about 16 more days) I will be going as the, 'Invisible Man' cause I'm not going!. This has been a really crazy year, so I honestly don't know if many kids will be out.. I'm not very big with Halloween, atleast the part where strangers come up to the door, do not get me wrong, I still plan to buy candy/Little Debbies..................just....................for me!.. I'm not big on decorating, I did get one of those, 'solar activated' Snoopy at Xmas time when I moved here back in June of 2019.. I did get myself some Xmas lights to put up on the front (well back) of the house!. A few weeks back I  was at my local market getting a few things and I saw this box of Little Debbie brownies, had a nice Halloween picture on the box, ate the brownies but using the box as Halloween decoration 😊😋😊 !. Well, I suppose I could use the, 'Jason Voorhees' (Friday The 13th) mask I bought!.

  I had a Dr. app. yesterday, so the night before I set my alarm for 8:30 (my ride picked me up at 10:45 and my app. was 11:20) and I use this, 'Online Alarm Clock' (onlineclock.net)  and there you got not only a clock but you have countdown/or the alarm which can be changed to......whatever (mine's a rooster)!. Now, my ears are alittle on the sensitive side, so that rooster on my alarm, well my ears are pretty sensitive especially in the morning, and well, I forgot to turn the volume down on my laptop the night before......and 8:30am came.......and that damn bird sounded as if he were right  next to me, can't really remember much after I hit my head on the ceiling!!..😠😖😕 (I found a 'confused emoji' but no 'dazed' I was gonna put 'dazed and confused' that's what they need here a, 'Dazed and Confused emoji) I'll tell you what though, I never got out of that chair faster!!..

 I would like to tell you some things about who I am and my life.. I have a Son for starters, (sorta made me do a 'double take') then she said, "she adopted him", oh ok, now this kinda makes a little bit more sense!. Anyway, the last time I seen him he was 5 and now he would be 25.. (I suppose I kinda forgot about her adopting, with me being who I am and all 😋😁)  I don't exactly know how he would take having a, let's just say, 'A Special Dad' for a Father!.. I met her in 1990 and I'm not gonna lie, when I first met her and introduced myself, she seemed very opened minded, free thinker, really easy to talk to!.. So I just kinda decided to tell her a few things about myself, like what kind of bed I have, how I'm a 'Nightowl' (oh in case you're wondering we decided to have a little late night picnic in the park under a full moon) as I was saying, what kind of bed and how I like to stay up late, and after a little while of looking at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears, much to my surprise she didn't run for the hills which is kind of what I was expecting!.. Now, being all these years later, we were talking about things happening now, one of those things was how our Son is gonna take the news.. Veronica and I knew why we had to part ways but we didn't know if our Son William knew, cause if I left when he was like 10 or 11 then he would've started getting some idea, like, "Why his eyes change color like that"or "Why his skin so pale" or "Come to think of it,I never really seen him actually eat any food".. So we all sat down at the table and the first he did was pull out a pic. of me (yes despite movies and Hollywood we can have pics. taken) he looked at me, well, like his Mom looked at me with the lobsters coming out of my ears!. He said, "You still look the same, how is that"!?. (ya'll getting some kind of idea now!?) First thing I said to him was when I was born: 1431 and ever since that moment, it was just nonstop talk, mostly from him, he had so many questions, I took him down in the basement showed him my coffin, among other stuff like how my eyes can change colors, ask his Mom if she was a (I'm sure you've all guessed it by now) Vampire, she said, "No" asked if he was one, again, "No"! Ever since that moment that I mentioned, I was born in 1431, I expected him to, 'run for the hills' but nope and I thought, "Sure enough he is his Mom's Son!.
