Am I Half Dead or Am I Doin' fine?
Saturday, May 6, 2006
I got One Small Thing that's on my Mind, am I Half Dead? or am I Doin'Fine?
Now Playing: Lighting Crashes By Live.

I know few people will remember that song - the one my blog is named after, If they were hard rock - mtv viewers in the early 80's they may even remember Black & Blue, I have both their albums though I admit the last time I played them was probably 1991 for old times sake= just before my record player gave out. I got a new one 3 years ago (yes, they still make record players. I got mine from the VT Country store .) & I still haven't had the inclination to play those particular albums. I felt this was a good name for a blog where I want to take out my frustrations with out reproach, I only give this blog address to a few people, those closest to me (not my mother though) who I know can take it if I mention them... I have to censor myself on the other blog because I gave the address to my mother & some other people who feel they need to tell me what to write & how I should write about them & their family (read this: my Ex's cousin- she was offended because I said I liked her family in small doses)
I, of course want this blog uncensored so if you're reading this there's a 90% chance you don't know me but really, feel free to comment, I'd like to know if anyone's hearing me.
I know I write less here but what I say here is more personal & more important to me, I often write what I feel, censor it, post it on the 'normal blog' & put the uncensored version here. I would love to be able to write everyday, I could find all kinds of things to say, I know I could, just reminiscing about my childhood could keep me busy for weeks - boring, I know. I also try to keep the questionaires, opinion polls & thursday thirteen/tuesday self portrait stuff to a minimum here. This one's for writing.
I don't have much to say tonight of course, I am frustrated with work, but don't neccesarily want to get into that tonight, after all it is Friday night. Because of work my week is messed up next week, I have mandatory overtime (yet again) tommorow night for some stupid pay per view boxing event I have to be there from 6 to 10 pm. then I have Sunday off which is rare. then I have to work a 5 day week from 10 am to 6:30 pm all next week so I can learn a new computer program which I know I will hate because I have watched the pilot program from across a walkway & everyone using that program looks even more stressed than normal. We are also going back to weekly mandatory overtime. I have a tendency to look on the bright side about everything (some of my co-workers tell me I'm sick) So I'm trying to look on the bright side that we are going to get paid for sitting around for a few days listening to someone talk & trying out new stuff. & as for the Overtime I have to try to look at it as more money not just more stress, & they are going to let us choose our hours, so I can work an extra hour each night after work instead of having to come in on a day I wouldn't normally work. There has to be a bright side to most
Everything, after all if I look at things from the negative side too much I'll sound like Lois: 'Miss Goth 2006' & I'd have to wear eyeliner & mope around saying 'no one likes me but John' 'I hate my life' 'I'd be happier if I lived with John in Kentucky' sometime's I'm tempted to buy her a bus ticket!
