I had such a great day. It was 60 degrees today, with a nice cold breeze coming off the mountains, up here in Vegas. I took my dog to the park, we ran 8 miles. Then my brother and I went roller blading over at the skateboard park.

So it was pretty fun. Although everyone there was wearing coats and sweaters. My brother and I were in T-Shirts. So we got some funny looks from everyone else. I thought it felt really nice. I guess everybody else thought it was cold for some reason. I don't think it's cold until it is below 32 degrees.

T'was the night before Christmas...
Old Santa was pissed
He cussed out the elves..
and threw down his list

Miserable little brats...
ungrateful little jerks
I have good mind..
to scrap the whole works

I've busted my ass...
for damn near a year
Instead of "Thanks Santa"..
what do I hear

The old lady bitches...
cause I work late at night
The elves want more money..
The reindeer all fight

Rudolph got drunk...
and goosed all the maids
Donner is pregnant..
and Vixen has AIDS

And just when I thought...
that things would get better
Those assholes from IRS..
sent me a letter

They say I owe taxes...
if that ain't damn funny
Who the hell ever..
sent Santa any money?

And the kids these days...
they all are the pits
They want the impossible..
Those mean little shits

I spent a whole year...
making wagons and sleds
Assembling dolls..
Their arms, legs and heads

I made a ton of yo yo's...
No request for them
They want computers and robots..
they think I'm IBM!

If you think that's bad...
just picture this
Try holding those brats..
with their pants full of piss

They pull on my nose...
they grab at my beard
And if I don't smile..
their moms think I'm weird

Flying through the air...
dodging the trees
Falling down chimneys..
and skinning my knees

I'm quitting this job...
there's just no enjoyment
I'll sit on my fat ass..
and draw unemployment

There's no Christmas this year...
now you know the reason
I found me a blonde and..
I'm going SOUTH for the season!!

Well today I've got American History. I have a 600 page history book with four quizzez to take on it. I have to study the entire book and know it. Oh well it's going to be fun to I love history and I know most it. I just need a little review.

I hope to finish it over the weekend. It's going to be a piece of cake, I know the Gettysburg Address word for word, I know it by heart and can recite it. I know the Declaration of Independence by heart word for word and I know the names of everyone who signed 1st to last. It's not going to be a problem. I know the Magna Carta, Martin Luther King Jr's, I Have a Dream speech, Frederick Douglas's, first recorded speech. I know it all word for word.

So this is going to be a great weekend.

"The Empires Of The Future, Are The Empires Of The Mind."

Well I'm crappy as hell today. I've been this way for the past three days. I've lost my voice my throat is swollen, so I feel as if I'm breathing through a straw. Not to mention my throat is raw and it burns like hell when I try to put numbing spray on it, my head hurts as if someone is banging it on the wall, I keep coughing, that is when I'm not vomiting most of the time. Besides that its 30 degrees at night here, but I have a fever of 108 degrees and I keep opening all the windows and flipping the fans on.

So I'm having a wonderful week. I hate being sick, back when I was in Missouri, I only had the flu once in my life and it sure as hell wasn't this bad.

Yeehaaw!!!!!

It's Thanksgiving Day. Happy Thanksgiving to all. It's a good holiday. I just really miss my family back home. I think I've spoken to at least 86 different relatives today. Although I have about 3 to 4 thousand relatives. Their so happy. I love em all.

It is 8:35p.m.

Well it was a long day, with my classes and making dinner. Tomorrow, is Thanksgiving. Family tradition is, eat a pizza save a turkey. It's been tradition all my life. The only time we've ever had a real Thanksgiving is when my kin folk nagged us until we came to their house.

Oh man I wish I was back home, to go to my Aunt Betty's house for turkey, 20 pies, cranberry sauce, pea soup, beef stew, stuffing and whatever else my kin folk bring over. Back home it was guaranteed that my Aunt Betty was going to nag the hell out of you until, you finally came over.

At least 20 to 35 people would show up for dinner and they were bringing at least three different dishes with them. There would be so much food and people, there that after the house was full of people, there would be people on the lawn and in the garage. You'd be holdin your plates because the tables, counters and shelves would be covered with dishes of food. We had deviled eggs, lasagna, anything that people brought was home made from scratch. I really wish I was back home for the holidays. It's lonely out here in Vegas. Sure my mom and dad and my brother are here. But it's not the same as back home in Missouri.

Well it is now 6:18a.m. I've been up since 3:00a.m. it's going to be a long day, I sure hope I get to take an early day and get off at one o'clock. Well I guess I'll write some more later.

"The Empires Of The Future, Are The Empires Of The Mind."
"Winston Churchill"

That looks scary as hell, especially the one in the front with the baby.

Well it's gonna be a long day, I have to study some more Med books, and I have to study my Spanish. Anyways I'm just killin time till 8:00 o'clock. I better go start some laundry and put dinner on to cook.

Well there's probably more, but that's all I'm writin for now. I'm from Success, Missouri, lived there four years. I'm actually from Mt. Grove, Missouri which is about 40 miles from Success. But I moved to Success to take care of my kin folk. I'm living in Las Vegas, Nevada, I've been here about 6 months now. I moved because my father wanted to be closer to his momma. I actually prefer to live in Missouri, where everybody knows everybody and they wave at you when they see you. Out here these fools don't know how to drive, their to stuck up to wave and they make fun of my accent.

Well it is 10:45a.m.

Isn't a great day to be me, I think so. I've been banned from PZ Myers: Science blogs. Yippee, that means I've officially been banned from 385 different blogs, in the past year and a half. I think I'm going to set a new world record, I should get a trophy for this. :)

Well besides setting a new world record today, I'm going to sit down and watch a marathon of Gilligan's Island.

You know back when TV was for the whole family, when you could leave it on when the Reverend and his wife came over. Now TV is like Uncle Lester comin to the Family Reunion, you know its going to get embarrassing, your just not sure when.

Anyway, here is a song that will stick in your head if you read it about 6 times.

Their Coming To Take You Away, Aha!
Their Coming to Take You Away,
With Little White Jackets, And Little White Straps.
Their Coming To Take You Away.

Just keep reciting it, and you'll never forget it. Try Reciting out loud, while riding on the subway or a bus that has a lot of strange looking people on it. See what happens, good luck.
