Two seemingly unrelated events occurred in my life yesterday. Yesterday was a good day.

First, I had a bit of an epiphany. As you should all know, I am once again single. Going along with that little circumstance is the urge to find someone to fill the void that has been left. Quite honestly, I haven’t been able to fill it with enough other stuff. The biggest impediment for me to find another someone is what I like. I like brown skin and Latin accents packaged in a small beautiful dark woman. Up to this point, I haven’t met any woman that I am even remotely interested in being interested in. Yesterday it dawned on me like the sun on a morning that you wish the night before hadn’t happened, that if I’m to meet someone that fits my bill I have to go to where those people are. So I did. That’s it. That’s all I really had to say. I just wanted you all to understand that I know that I am stupid and it takes me a long time to figure certain seemingly obvious things out.

Number 2. I’ve mentioned Ironweed Films before. I watched the month of May’s edition last night with my little sis and her husband. The documentary is called The War Tapes. Three National Guardsmen were asked to film there experience in Iraq. The War Tapes is their experience. The three Guardsmen are different, come from different walks of life and have differing views of politics and the war. I mention this because at the end of the film, all three had arrived at the same conclusion. They were disillusioned with the war, felt it was being fought for money, and had no desire to return. They spent a large portion of their tour gaurding KBR/Halliburton trucks as they transported goods from bases into stores. One distributor, one supply line, a perfect monopoly is being enjoyed by these clonies and all the soldiers recognized and despised the war for it.

I still haven’t ridden. I was planning on going tonight but the store got really busy and I am tie red. I might do a short jaunt up the River Trail so I can say that I moved, but I’m having a difficult time getting motivated. It has been really hot and combined with the humidity that I am not used to, my energy gets sapped rather quickly.

Anyways, it’s off to the Panaderia for me…
