Dumped On.
by RollerDave intis the season, so to speak.. this is the time of year the darkness descends like a proclamation of doom, and the light retreats like a rank and filer encountering an actual, thinking, reasoning person during the failed misery.. i don't exactly operate at a hundred percent in the dark and cold, ironic considering where i live.. so one day, we have a relatively clear parking pad, and the next we get a ton of white shit dumped on us.. such lovely fun, shoveling all the global warming from the drive.. got to take the truck out and let it strut it's stuff, that bad ol' aposta-truck was in it's element and unstoppable.
like the unfailing assault of reason on the last tendrils of mind control left in my wetware.. see, i've been thinking again, in spite of all the trouble it's gotten me in before it's a hard habit to break.
i drive around and everybody is getting their christmas on, and i have always felt so smug that i 'knew better'.. see, here is the witless take; you gotta get all vestiges of pagan influence out of your life, no saturnalia, no lupercalia, no all hallows eve, no 'bless you' to a sneeze, no 'pot lucks', bleh blah yadda.. yet, every day of the week and month of the year is named for a pagan deity, the planets are too.

Dead of Night
by RollerDave indead of night.. absence of light.
anxiety not slight.. i don't know, just sometimes in the dead of night it hits me and it sucks.. the years pile up, i don't have so big a pile as some, but they are harsh ones with lots of jaggy bits and cruel edges.. sux.. you pile up the years, but the thing is, when you collect the whole set, it's game over, and that just sucks.. maybe it's the season, the light fades, and the cold comes.
it creeps into your bones and you feel cold all the way through, like you'll never be warm again.. then there's times of warmth and laughter, but sometimes even those kind of ring hollow, the music takes on an unwelcome tinny quality and i lack the patience to listen to even one song all the way through.. old thoughts, old feelings, old conversations, locked on a disc for a device that is no longer made, in file formats for programs i have forgotten the names of.. a wealth of emotion, it meant so much at the time, yet now it collects dust in obsolescence and disuse.. streams of thought that lead nowhere but i didn't realize at the time, and now they are wasted and gone.

Conversation with my mom
by RollerDave inanyone could turn that over, it's no big deal really.. deaf alzheimer's lady: oh.
rollerdave: oh, and what's more, it's not just big, but also 'big-like' which is a distinction without a difference.. deaf alzheimer's lady: uh, ok.... rollerdave: i mean it's massive.. deaf alzheimer's lady: so that's what you like about it?
it's big?.

Time to simplify
by RollerDave infunny how life can be.. you chase your dreams, mean well, do your best to live large, and twist life bu the nipples; but there's only so many hours in a day, only so many days in a week, and only 365.25 days in a year.. i realize i'm swamped.
i find myself rolling around like a big fat chicken on wheels that has been separated from his head quite suddenly.. i think i have become the victim of my own success.. the more you have, the more maintenance and upkeep you have to procrastinate.. i'm only a man, i can only avoid so much work!.
barely got the boat winterized before the cold, evil fingers of minnesnowta's dominant season could work their frigid havoc, boy, i am starting to wonder if i am really 'boat people.

California Wildfires = The end?
by RollerDave ini just got a call from my jw mom asking if i was watching the news.. i'm like, "no, what's up?".
i'm imagining something must really be up, like we invaded some more countries or mushroom clouds over american cities, or maybe somebody famous did something horrible in public, or something.. she tells me 'half of california is burning.'.
i'm like "yeah, it's been doing that for a while now.".

Is Rollerdave for real?
by RollerDave inthis rollerdave guy, is he for real?.
i mean, the guy just seems larger than life and has so much drama going on, and now there's more of them with the introduction of the wife/gf and daughter characters you gotta wonder.. do any of you have any real experience with this joker?.
are the wife and daughter just him in a wig and a falsetto?.

Trouble with the Paradigm
by RollerDave inok, so if i follow the paradigm, the afterlife goes like this:.
all the good little folks go to heaven where they sing, float around, maybe watch over some clueless schlub back here, and are permanently joyous because they are wired that way and have no choice in the matter, but are basically 'staff'.
the wicked, who got to have a bit more fun while alive, go down to hell where they are poked, prodded, and buggered by demons, they are 'clients', but not 'staff'.

Bachelor weekend drawing to a close...
by RollerDave ingot mixed feelings here.. on the one hand, i missed my beck desperately, but on the other i actually had a pretty great weekend.. the china chef was awesome as ever, truck worked, transporting the scooter went without a hitch.. the meetup was awesome!.
i guess we had more of the evil slave than usual, cuz seating was at a premium, good thing i brought my own!
i also brought gopher and my daughter angie (who means to post here but never seems to get around to it) with me in the apostatruck.. i'm sure you all remember my proclamation that the reuben is henceforth the king of sandwiches, well good ol' reuben was on top of his lil' sandwich game saturday!.

Anti-Time
by RollerDave inso i was out tonight, bachelor-ing it up, well, ok not so much.. i had angie, her lil bro 'delbert', 'catlady' and dawn, my second ex wife in the truck, on the way to and from china chef i was not-so-subtly apostatizing at every opportunity.
ang tried giving dawn some music url and i kept telling her apostate url's, offering her apostate lit, snidely remembering how we were treated within the b0rg, she was laughing at my onvious but only halfway comical attempt to turn her to the dark side with promises of cookies.. i figure i put in a pretty decent hour of anti-time, but where do i turn that in?
do i print out the time slip elsewhere on this forum and put a -1 on it?.

Bachelor Weekend!
by RollerDave inlooks like i'll be having a bachelor weekend as my beck is going out of town on a 'consolation prize' vacation with her mom.. see, her mom tried inviting herself along on out trip up north to stay in the dome, and we put the kibosh on that!.
but they had to offer her something, so i was beck and her sister rosie taking their mom to wisconsin dells this weekend.. i got my truck, my scooter is fixed, i'm at my lowest weight since starting my diet and feel great (except for a bit of a cold), the upside is i can do anything i want!.
the downside: no beck.. i think friday night i'll go to the best asian resteraunt in the known universe in no.
