I Got It In The Mail !!!!!



I got my passport in the mail today- I am sooo excited- What does that mean?? I am all set- All set for what you ask?- All set to TRAVEL- If you're like me and you get in your vehicle (car, motorcycle, SUV truck, or time machine) you don't want the United States borders to stop you from driving and finding new adventures- Now I can travel the WORLD- First stop, Canada- Why Canada you ask? Because it is only 345 miles away- Why Not?- Who wants to join me on all the new and wild adventures that await? I ask only because we can then split the cost of gas-

Motorcycling Stranger


The other night I was invited for an evening ride with a new friend- I wouldn't call him a boyfriend because he is hardly a boy- But my new friend loves his HOG- The pleasant spring evening was perfect- The sun was setting creating a watercolor mural in the sky- The wind was in my hair and the wind was blowing his ponytail in my face- The last time I was on a motorcycle was about 8 years ago- After a regular night of heavy drinking and dancing, my small group of friends decided that we would pass on our usual late night carousing & trespassing in the local ship yards- We began our short walk home- In the parking lot of the bar I notice a older gentleman sitting on his motorcycle- He had a ponytail and wore a bandana around his head- He had on jeans, a white teeshirt and a black leather vest- I believe he had a mustache and beard but I had been drinking and I can't be 100% positive on that detail- I did not know this gentleman nor did any of my friends- I casually and confidently walked up to this strange gentle man and asked if I could have a ride- He said "Sure" - None of my friends stopped me- None of my friends talked me out of getting on the motorcycle without a helmet- And none of my friends talked me out of getting on the motorcycle with a complete stranger- He said "get on" - Next thing, I am hiking my mini-jean skirt up to my pink panties leaving nothing to anyone's imagination because you can't straddle a man and his hog in a mini-jean skirt- He started his motorcycle and off we sped while my then-boyfriend only watched- He was probably thinking he would never see me alive again- I asked my gentle stranger where he was from and he apparantly was in town for no particular reason and never mentioned where he was from- (that would be biker lingo for "I just started riding and I ended up here) -This kind gentle man probably told me his name but I don't remember it- As I sat behind him with my arms around his waist- The two of us rode all over the small city full of steep hills and empty roads- The cold wind in my face- It was as if we were the only two out in the world- There was seriously no one else around at 3am- It only felt like 10 minutes but was probably more like 30 minutes or more- I directed him to my boyfriends apartment- He pulled up and stopped the bike- Knowing my small group of friends were upstairs I invited the strange gentle man in for a drink- He declined- I thanked him for the awesome ride and said good by- I watched his red tail light in the dark night as he sped away- I skipped up the front steps of the apartment building with an ear to ear smile across my face- I got upstairs and my then-boyfriend opened his apartment door with a loud sigh of relief "Where have you been? I have been sooo worried- We all have been very worried"- So YES, I could have been kidnapped, raped, sliced open with a large hunting knife from my chin down, and gutted, dumped in a remote desolate area, and left for dead- YES, I got on a motorcycle with a complete strange- Who was very kind and gentleman like- YES, my mother will need medical attention after reading this- YES, this is a true story

New Favorite Flickr Pastime


























My new favorite pastime is entering names of my favorite bands and local bands (such as Richmond Fontaine, Neko Case, Lucinda Williams) Or even music events like Austin City Limits Festival in the TAGs part of Flickr- Many other people (who, do to space on this blog, didn't get the proper and legal recognition for their photos- I know scandelous) from all over have taken photos of people and celebrities that I love- Especially my favorite musicians and trouble makers- If you're a Jayhawks fan you don't want to miss this site- Mmm goodness- Me Likey- Apparently he put a block on his photos so you can't Save As into our necessary blog sites- My next project will be searching for photographs of celebrities (mostly musicians) and some lucky fan- When that lucky fan said "Could I please get a picture of You & Me?"

Photobooths

Last summer it was Squisshed Pennies this summer.....(drum roll)..... Photobooths- I have found another obsession for a fun anomaly- I will be scouring this vast nation for photobooths (the old school kind) - I love photography and vintage collectibles, put them together and Vwalla- Photobooths- I came upon my new obsession when I realized one of my many Million Dollar Ideas was already in effect and it probably wouldn't actually be very profitable- Originally I had a friend coming into town a few weeks ago and I wanted to get a picture taken with her in a photobooth- I was scratching my head on where would I find one- Then the Million Dollar Idea came- I could start my own business and place old school photobooths in music venues and Nightclubs- The drunken revilers would forsure want to capture their CrazyAss Youthful Fun to have and look back at while they were changing diapers as adults- I then typed photobooth in the search engine- I was surprised that they are still out there- You can purchase them or you could rent them for your parties- I am sure if I went to ebay I could find one- I was seriously thinking of a small business plan while I searched these sites- But then that ideal bubble that was floating above my head popped-And reality showered over my head like a downpour in July- I figured that Million Dollar Idea would be a bust- Nowadays the CrazyAss Youth have digital cameras and camera phones- They would never put $4 dollars into a machine to get a picture taken- And what about the maintenance of the machine- Would there be anyone still around knowledgeable enough to repair a broken machine- I did find a blog site dedicated to photobooths- I have put it in with my favorites so I can visit there often- They have a link to find Photobooths locations per state- Here in Minnesoooda- They have 3 locations (as of 2004) the Kitty Cat Klub- the Turf Club- Kmart 3405- I have been to all three locations in my life but never bothered to look for a photobooth- Guess what I am doing today- Check back to see what I find-

And if you're Out & About and begin noticing these classic finds- Please drop me a note on where to find Photobooths in your Neighborhoods

The Office

Any of you LOVE the TV show The Office more than me?? I am guessing probably NOT - That show kills me- LOL- For my NON-texting compadres (including me) and anyone not up to date on texting lingo it means LAUGH OUT LOUD- Which I do- Mine should be COL- Cackle Out Loud- I have been know to SOL- Snort Out Loud- I am a big fan of The Office- My favorite episode used to be the Office Olympics but that got bumped down to second most favorite after last weeks episode of Drug Testing- HIGHlarious!!!- I need this season on DVD- I found out Dwight Shrute has a blog- A boring blog- But a blog in true Dwight fashion- If I had a Dwight-like co-worker sitting next to me at work Torture- Sticking dull #2 pencils repeatedly into my eyeballs would be less torture than listening to him all day long, 5 days a week- Check out The Office tonight- It will Rock you like a Hurrican
