It's the little things.

I can jump from planes. Survive fire fights from hell. Get shot by a sniper. I can do many things that scare me to the bone. This last week I hit a patch or black ice while taking my brother to school. The truck flipped over and rested on the side. My brother's seat belt came loose. I never once worried about myself. Yet, for one brief second I almost panicked when I saw my brother laying there motionless for a moment. When he stirred time rushed on and I regained my senses. I've never reacted that way before.

Cheer up there is only 330 days till X-Mas!

Old Friends

This last week I got a visit from the Government. An old college friend of mine who I'll call Steve and I used to be very active environmentalists. Steve was an active member because truly believes in what he's doing. I once believed but I must admit that I was drawn more to the danger than to the cause. Steve continued on and I eventually went on to others things. As a member of the ELF, Steve is a very wanted person. From time to time I would get a visit from the FBI or other such government agency. Especially if Steve was thought to be in town. I would occasionally get a feeling of being followed. Once I even knew I was followed and convinced the surveillance team I was up to something and had them going nuts trying to figure out what I was up to. I would sometimes hear a click when I picked up the phone. I can't visit my grand parents in Barcelona because I am a "known associate of a wanted 'terrorist'". I've never had reservations about my friendship with Steve. The visit I got last week was truly a surprise. I hadn't had a visit from anyone in over a year or two. Seems that they somehow lost track of me and decided in the current climate that I warranted some attention. I had a fun time durring the interview. I thought it was very funny that they would lose track of me. Since I am constantly checking in with the VA and until this last year I lived at the same adress for over 5 years. They went over the same scripted interview as usual till I got under their skin and left in disgust. Gotta love 'em

Kisses are forever
Kisses are renewable
Kisses are sweet
and Kisses are Death...

Sledding and other insane acts

This weekend I tried to see just how insane I could make the simple act of sledding. My brother's friends and I tried everything from getting slingshot from trees while on inner tubes and sleds. To getting dragged from a speeding truck while on inner tubes and lawn chairs. It was a load of fun even when fun reaches that point where you don't know how you possibly survived the stunt.

Night Sounds

Last night I awoke several times looking for the source of a noise. I kept hearing a noise that sounded like an alarm. It sounded like it was coming from outside the house. The last time I awoke I even ventured outside in the freezing cold looking for the source of the noise. I didn't find it, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. There is a coyote that trying to get at our chickens. I think it could have been it. A part of me knows that's not it though.

How many kisses does it take to get to the center of your heart?
