dum dee dum. been sitting around today not doing much. came back from hot
creek with a nasty summer cold that's left me feeling pretty miserable.
kind of just puttered around and played a little guitar and watched the
hills burn on tv along with a few old reruns on tv. since i've been home
these last few weeks, i've caught a small glimpse of what daytime tv is
like. it's just as bad as primetime tv only in different ways. but enough
about that. summer at hot creek was a new experience for me, having only
really fished there seriously in the spring and fall. i finally caught on
to what was working my last day there and had a blast of a morning giving
some fine rainbows some sore lips. even got another unbelievable sunset
out of the trip. i think it's totally impossible for me to have a bad time
there no matter what the situation. even having to drive back with a
busted up jeep body and no a/c didn't put a damper on things. once again,
had some fine company and even went on a little bender one night. got to
share some new places, showed a few people how it's done (fishing-wise
that is) and took in some remarkable scenery. my next four days get to be
taken up by getting the car fixed up and into the body shop, and finishing
up some work for deluxe. speaking of which they really suck. i'll explain
more later on another page maybe, hee hee.
other than all that, not much in this world seems to have changed. saw
kwazy kofi from the united nations dissing the u.s. for not contributing
enough to the aids effort. while he may have a small point considering the
number of people affected vs. dollars spent in comparison between aids and
iraq, calling us to task when we contribute by far the lion's share seems
somewhat disingenous. if i was president, hee hee, while we wouldn't have
gone to fight in iraq, i'd also be pulling my support of any kind to
countries who take our money with one hand and slap us with the other. the
french included. then while i was at it i'd decriminalize lsd, absinthe,
and marijuna; legalize gay marriage with the same benefits (and
disadvantages) but under another name, lower the drinking age to 21 (if
you're old enough to kill or be killed, you're old enough to drink),
install a trout stream on the front lawn of the white house, and
permanently ban all tv reality shows, while loosening restrictions on the
likes of howard stern (and no i am NOT a fan) and sex and nudity, and
tightening standards on violence. i'd also make it next to impossible to
buy a handgun. blah blah blah. as for the rest, do you really care?
not my best work, but i'm spacing from the medication, and regretting my
decision to help those fuckers at newport printing systems one last time.
