Puberty, ah puberty, what's it good for?



Math:



At a time in my life when nothing but violence and robbery and mayhem were the only thing that made sense, I could go to Math class

Algebra 1 & 2

Plain and solid geometry

Calculus

Trig

Statistical analysis

and

even the dick teaching them

made sense

The outcome was always as predictable as the 4-5 shift in a six speed transmission.

No lies

No head trips

A kid that fealt stupid, fat, ugly and worthless could find a welcome rest

Something in the universe was OK

Puberty, ah puberty, what's it good for?

I guess in retrospect, it's there to make the rest of life seem like a walk in the park

Absolutely nothin

Say it again, say it again

Can I get a witness?



However I do have advanced knowledge concerning

Drug/Alcoholic partnerships, wives, friends*

Mechanics

Software, data access development

Going fast on motorcycles

Wilderness survival

Patience

Gardening

Selecting single malt highland and Islay scotch



I'm an abject failure as a

Parent

Husband

Uncle

Friend



Remember in the new year

Garfield says:

Use your friends wisely







*I've used a lot(drugs and hooch), but am way too up-tight to let it controll my life

Grease Monkey BS

1. Mechanics Tools
I'm neither an auto nor light aircraft mechanic any longer


2. Homeowner tools
The statement:

"you don't own a house or property, it, they own you"

couldn't be more true.

After 12+ years here I seldom venture out of the house if I'm not getting in the truck to be whisked away to a location where I can't see the place. There is always something to be done.

Sweeping

Mowing

Raking

Pruning

Hauling

Shoveling snow

Carpentry type repairs

Oh woe is me, oh dear, oh my

But ain't He just the Fnn... whiner


3. Get rid of Me
Used to go camping 20+ times a year


4. Knowlege of things that do exist any longer
or matter

Wood shed

Obsessiveley

Obsessiveley

Obsessiveley



Not so much a place as it is an activity.

In musicians jargon or vernacular

It's practice, practice, play practice, practice, read

practice

practice

practice

practice

practice

I'll stick to this resolve

Not to pick Jan 1 to resolve anything

Too hung over

Too broke

Sometimes I don't know where I am...

Completely amongst strangers

Having trouble finding my truck

My clothes are on backwards or not mine at all

What was the question again?

Not likely It'll be different this year

Could be, but, hmmmm....





Ask me Dec 31 2010 at about 23:00

We'll all know by then
