Dried up Mud Puddles

Don didn't show up at Jay and Erics tonight. Actually Bill and I were the only two in attendence.

I don't know why so many people dislike Jay and Eric. The common belief is rooted in being socially inept. Therefore they are labeled lepers, and thrown in the pit with the others.

To me this is a pretty shallow pool to dive in. There is a point where one needs to be polite, and there is is a point where there it is time to be just oneself. Who you truely are.

Jay and Eric had put up a screen in the back for summer movie night. The season started off with the Wizard of Oz-Mixed with "Pink Floyds the wall". Its part urban myth, and part straight drug induced hallucination fun. Afterwards, we sat around the fire pit, while zoning out to dance music.

The more situations one exposes oneself to, the more adaptable one becomes, to other situations. Your able to run with the pack. It makes you very interesting, to the point in any situation your able to hold your own. Even in a dried up mud puddle.

Call your MOTHER!!!!

Although testimonial to the fact I keep myself out of loop, I find it quite annoying that everyone felt it necessary to contact me today, to inform me that it is indeed Mothers day.

I also seem to get a plethora of phone calls around day light savings time, fathers day. Never on Christmas. People assume I can remember that holiday.

There are too many holidays-most centering on either religion or family members. Since i don't practice a religion and my "family" is a melting pot of sexuality of the sexes, it rules most holidays out.

This family thing. Odd isn't it. I spent the entire weekend socializing like a mother-fucker. Ran unexpectedly over to Dale and Erics for afternoon "tea". They have the GAY-EST yard on the block. Seriously. They have the only yard landscaped to high-heaven, and its beutiful. Zoomed over to have dinner with Joe. Unless something else comes up, which it could very much occure, I'm planning on attending the Northwest Faerie Gathering with him in August. He wanted to have dinner to ask if I wanted to drive? I assume as the conversation had to be PULLED-by me, out of thin air.

J and I touched on this topic alot this weekend--how that we have traveled and experienced differnt "Situations" than the norm, are we better able to adapt in any situation that life presents us. Its the whole being able to have fun in a dried up metaphore situation once again. Which why I find the midwest citizens to be so stale, stagnet and quite boring-they get caught up in this tradional set of behaviors, that dictates his or her life....

But yes, I did call my mother, and left a message on the machine. THey were out visiting my brother and my sister.....
