My sister-in-law is visiting Colorado right now. We haven't seen her yet, but I'm hoping we get to see her and her husband and kids sometime this week. My sister is having a baby girl by the end of the month too. I hope I can also see them real soon.

There's a real Internet problem in this town! Every week we get several phone calls from people looking for ANYONE to provide decent Internet service and they'll get quoted some insane build cost to make it happen. I know that sounds random, but it's something I've noticed after working at a data center for 4 years.

I wish I knew what I was doing with my life.

Warning: Contains Poop

I just ordered some lenses for my iPhone camera. They seem like a neat accessory. Especially for capturing various styles of bird crap!

^^^This was a massive poo!^^^

This one was seen on a train. Birds in more rural areas appear to have healthier diets. I could see berry juice in this one!

The most disgusting bird turd I've ever laid eyes on. This bird gorged itself on maggots before pooping on my car's driver door. Oddly, it's also the most artful dump. 

No Such Thang

I'm of the opinion that boredom isn't a real thing. It's a shame that some can't think of ANYTHING to do, but here's the thing: there is ALWAYS something to do. Even if it's stupid and pointless, we have the time and freedom to use our lives in any way we see fit. Even if we end up in prison for it. Or dead. Whatever. Now watch my dumb face use roasted seaweed to fashion a variety of mustaches!

Sometimes I'll look on Craigslist at the strictly platonic personal section to read what women are writing in their attempt to make friends. There are so many women about my age realizing they have no friends and I enjoy meeting new people, so maybe if someone writes something good enough, I'll respond. I tried meeting one lady, but then I got sick when we were supposed to go out to dinner and had to cancel. Then it seems that another lady she also met via Craigslist became the friend she was looking for anyways. I was invited to an expensive Mother's Day brunch they were going to and I had to decline for lack of money (and lack of ever celebrating Mother's Day, so I could care less - which would probably be the most sad and shocking thing these women have ever heard).

I posted on Craigslist to advertise my pet portraits and someone that lives in my neighborhood sent me a text. They liked my art and wanted to know if I'd teach their kid how to use colored pencils. We were going to meet at the park, but then they cancelled and when I tried to reschedule recently they never responded.

I'm starting to see what's wrong with a seemingly vast majority of people. We aren't really into people. It's sad when we don't get to know our neighbors and so many don't have friends. I'm getting infected too. I don't tend to hang out with people that are different than me. Is it because there's no benefit to it? No - it's because I'm a butthole and I just want people around me that will understand everything I say and laugh at my jokes. Should I just accept that? Probably. But I prefer the turmoil that comes with trying. The butthole that wouldn't quit. I'm an "in-your-face" kind of butthole! A great tagline for someone that wants to be your friend. Spell check keeps hating on the butt+hole compound word. Spell check is a butthole.

Some days, man. I woke up not wanting to exist. That's not true though, I'd love to exist right now in Hawaii. I would also enjoy existing as someone else for today. Perhaps someone that resides in Hawaii. There's something about routine or employment or office work or computers or modern life that just doesn't sit well with me. Day after day after day after day until I'm numb to it. Then once I get a bit of a break I finally regain my senses and realize it's all wrong. I'd rather work with animals. Wild animals. It would take a long time to grow numb to the sight of wild animals. I'm the wildest of the wild animals, however.

I cut my fingernails into pointy points a couple days ago. I feel like a kitten.

My focus: make a music video. Hopefully finish it up by the end of the weekend.

The family is going to see Zootopia at the dollar theater this evening. We should have more family nights. Every Tuesday methinks.

I'm so glad kids grow up. They're so new and little and it would be devastating if they stayed that way. It's nice to watch them figure things out and climb on the counter to get their own cup or pour their own bowl of cereal. They would really hate being babies or kids forever. Naomi already thinks she deserves the respect of an adult. She stepped right on my freakin' bongo drum and I was like, "whoa! don't do that!" and she couldn't believe I would talk to her like that. Haha. Those big, watery eyes. Roland keeps saying he's six years old. Although yesterday he did say, "I'm not six, I'm seven." (he's three)

I'm wearing some worn out clothes today. There's a safety pin on my pants to keep my zipper up and a safety pin on my shirt to close a seam that came undone. At least I'm good at hiding it. Not as skilled as a seamstress. Is there a safety-pin-only type of seamstress? That's what I'll be.

What a great visit from family, anniversary, girls day out and concert I just had in the span of a week! It was also surprisingly relaxing.

To Infinity & Bed & Bath & Beyond!

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a fat 9 year old boy that is obsessed with mayonnaise sandwiches and playing video games. There are many characters that I like to be for humor's sake. So many, in fact, that I don't know who I AM! Just kidding.

Naomi and I started painting little characters from this dumb show she likes (I also like the dumb show) and now I can't stop:

I started painting them without her. Although, her involvement gives them way more charm.

It's our 8th wedding anniversary in 4 days. Jason got me BONGOS! They're beautiful and super fun! I got us a couple tickets to go see The Cure in concert. We apparently can't wait 'til the actual date because we just get too dang excited!

My folks are coming out for a visit next week too! YAY! My dad and son will finally meet. My sister is coming too! Double YAY! We shall have a girl's day out and have layers of skin scraped off or some other type of odd treatment that women love.

Psh... women!
