Scattered Thoughts
If one man could change the world would there be the need for government?.....if we were all in a state of mind what contry would we live in?...........The Holy Grail should be the quest for the divine in of oneself not for a cup, so stop digging History Channel.......Lauren, please hurry up and write your movie if I don't get to act soon I am going to hurl........If it takes three dollars to feed a starving child for a month why does it cost five to eat lunch at Mcdonalds?.........I love Bill O' Riley he is the greatest, he is the only person with the balls to challenge what is not morally right and he will let those D.C. retards know it in a hurry..........OK thats enough for today

Ramblin' Man
"Lord I was born a ramblin' man"............Over the past few years my life has changed directions so many times that my head should be spinning..but it's not and I don't know why...Last night I was sitting at work and heard(now this is back to back and I am not making this up)"Dixie on my mind"..."I sang Dixie"..and "Carolina on my mind". No bull..we have an pa system at the airport that plays country radio and that just freaked me out. It made me think about spring time in the south, bass fishing out on the lake, sitting down by the river with Preacher and James waiting on that big ole' river cat to get ahold of my hook. Playing in Ma Ma's big tree in the backyard after Sunday dinner and then going on a golf cart ride with Pa Pa. Nothing beats the memories of childhood, not even a good steak dinner, they are the ties that never falter and will always be there if you ever need to escape the tragic world of today...Sorry got a little side tracked...Chris, Chase, Chris R. and I took off last May on a great venture across the country in search of Cody, WY. None of us had ever even heard of this place until one week in April when Chris called and said "Hey you wanna go to Wyoming with me?" and we all agreed not knowing what was in store. I stayed thru July and decided that this was it, this was the place I wanted to live, this was the place I had seen in my dreams and now it was real. So I flew home packed my things and moved out west. And now here I am 20 years old and 2000 miles from home. Who in their right mind would do such a thing at that age? Me...and well all of our couragous soliders........."Tryin' to make a livin and doin the best that I can."

In Dream
I awoke to the sound of Hughey Lewis yesterday and I felt very refreshed and assured that today would be a great day. I got up as always and had my favorite cup of starbucks and put on my snow boots as the weather outside was terrible and I had a long walk ahead of me. As I finished my joe I climbed into my old jeep and started down the snowbanked road, it was only a short drive but it took me what seemed like hours to reach the field. I stepped out onto the snow covered field and strapped on my skis as I started my journey all I could think about was..."Don't need money"....."Don't need fame"...."Don't need no credit card to ride this train"....I trekked along the flowing hills of the meadow that seemed as an ocean frozen in time as the terraces ran along to the horizon making a beautiful seam of land and sky.It was nearly daylight and I had reached the halfway point of my journey at this stop there was a small cabin with a wood stove and livery which housed a fresh horse for the rest of the trip. I stopped only to warm up a bit, it must have been at least thirty below zero and the wind was gusting to a phenomenal forty-five knots. As I headed out of the barn I noticed that my stirrup had fallen off of my saddle, someone must have left it out in the weather, if it had been my personal saddle it would not have been so abused and misused. I unsaddled and began repairing the tattered old piece of tack.Just as I had the leather almost repaired, the old wrangler emerged from the corner of the barn, hungover and pissed off at the world. He looked at me with bloodshot eyes and said DON'T YOU TOUCH MY ....................................."That's the power of love". I got up and put on my clothes and went to work. phew what a dream.

Wyoming Goes Homophobic
Well put another mark in the closed mind column for Wyoming as they ban the release of Brokeback Mountain with one exception, Laramie of course they had to as we all remember the "Matthew Shepard" story from a few years back......Jessi stop tickling me with Little Shamu.........A friend of mine went to see it last week and he said it was very graphic and hard to watch at some points, but overall he said that it was the basic love story only this time involving two men, Cowboys from county 9 in Wyoming. By the way I live in county 11 so they weren't that far from us. Well I just can't escape the controversial movie madness I move from the original filming location of "Deliverance" to the now made famous Big Horn mountains of Wyoming site of "Brokeback Mountain".................Let me hear ya squeal boy......weeeeee...weeeeee

Blown Away
Have you ever yelled into a fan while it was on? Makes a funny sound......If you have ever been to Cody, Wyoming you know that the wind blows constantly, well the other night it decided to just go nuts and cut loose gusting to over 55mph, I have the privlege of working outside in the armpit of hell The Cody Airport. I is built on the flattest part of the city and has nothing to slow down the wind, after 3 hours of standing in the unrelentless force I finally got to go home....on my way home is when I saw "it"...I saw a shadowy outline up ahead of me and I thought it was a deer so I slowed down. As I approaced I could see that it was not a deer but in fact a giant tumble weed...it had collected other weeds and sorts along its journey across the desert land and grown into a giant ball of tangled mess. I watched as it slowly moved to the shoulder and roll off as if it were the giant boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark still in search of Indiana Jones.....I think of Kenny Loggins....."Highway to the Danger Zone!"

Rocky Mountain High
I went to Salt Lake City today just to go eat some sbarro pizza and get some cinnabons and while I was there I soaked up the atmosphere of the airport. I saw the usual guy missing his bag the woman running to get to her connecting flight The Griswold Family Vacationers and my personal favorite the guy who checked in too late and got bumped off his flight, this guy was especially entertaining he happened to be of the dark skin Arab India or what ever the hell else they are race and was spewing out his rage in some far eastern language which left the gate agent wondering if she should laugh or shoot him. I myself work at the airport in Cody and now that I know what goes on behind the scences I want to travel around to different airports to see how they operate. I will give you some traveling hints if you plan to fly soon: 1. Don't piss us off, we do get to handle your bags, 2. Don't piss us off, we get to say if you get to fly or not, 3. Don't piss us off, we know the pilots very well and if you want a smooth flight BE NICE!!, 4. Oh yeah by the way if you want your bags when you arrive at your final destination, DON'T CHECK THEM!!!!............Thank you for flying Skywest Airlines and enjoy your day in your arrival city.
