So I'm getting it back

2012-02-07T14:41:00.001-06:00

Sometime before thanksgiving last year (2011) I gave up my cable TV, Internet and Home phone. On a single salary, I just couldn't afford all of it. I'm now getting back my internet in a few days and when that comes on, I'm looking into getting Netflix for some entertainment.

Dream

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with the golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams ~W.B. Yeats

My dog has a fascination with 2 things. Chewing whatever I put in front of her and she has to be able to "see" everything, if she's not in the center of attention then nobody's gonna be happy.

I love this country, I love the fact that if I want to draw a picture of someone, that I have every right to draw whatever I want, even if that drawing offends someone else. So I offend you because I draw a picture of something you don't agree with. Then don't look at my drawing if you don't like it. what's that, it's against the laws of your religion? Is this the same law that commands you

Everyday I wake up and realize something: "It's not yet another day until this afternoon, so I have to deal with today, right now, not tomorrow". This may not make sense to anyone but me, but it's something that I have to do to make the day liveable for me. My play time in the afternoons when I get home from work is the highlight of my day, in most cases. On another note, I plan on taking

Today went better than expected, I went and played 9 holes of golf with a very dear friend. We did'nt keep score, but had a great time. Came home around noon and did some work around the house while I watched a movie on Netflix (the Matrix: love the first one...) Took Beabe to the park for about an hour and let her run around and chase the squirrles. Now i'm going to bed. This is what I

Okay so I finally broke down and joined Netflix tonight. I browsed around and they have alot of movies, but I did'nt want to have to wait for a dvd to come by mail, so I choose one of the options where I can stream and download movies from my computer. So what movie do I choose to be the first movie I watch on Netflix.... Should I choose something I've never seen before? Should I choose a

I woke up a little later than usuall this morning, not feeling so hot, but I began the day as normal as possible. I got Tabitha up and got her off to school in time, and even though I was running late, I needed to get my coffee. (some things I must have in the mornings) Made it to work and so far it’s been a smooth day.

The rain has been relentless in it's efforts and I've not had enough time away from work to do anything when the weather permitted me to. So today, I saw an opportunity and I took it.

I was thinking about all the things we used to do when she was younger compared to what she does now.

I must say that this was one of the scariest movies I've seen in a long time. I know it's been out for awhile, but I did'nt really think much of it because the Saw® movies were big and I don't really have an appreciation for horror movies all that much. The movie has some mind-blowing scenes that just keep you on the edge of your seat. I reccomend seeing this if you have'nt already.
