I Ate Breakfast and all i got was this lousy black eye!

No serious, I too my Nonni (grandmother) to church this past sunday (and NO i did NOT burst into flame OR cause a scene!) and she likes to go out to breakfast afterwards, so we did. And it was.....ummmmm, not good. infact it was SO not good that about an hour later I was bent over on the side of the RD pukeing my brains out. and well.....aparently I puked so hard that i got a damn black EYE! I had no idea that this could happen. But, well. Take note, that it can. so, next time you get to drunk of your food makes you ill. don't puke to hard. You might give yourself a black eye.

10 Miles

Of Dirt ROAD! and in the rain that we have been getting, I have been getting time learning how to drive on muddy dirt roads. LOADS of fun. Serious. It's 10 Miles of Dirt ROAD driving, to the highway, then a few more miles to the nearest sizeable town of a couple thousand. In truth the town of Whitney is the closest, but it only has about 87 people. ha ha ha

Nebraska.

Okay, so now I am in NE. and LOVING IT!
]The air is crisp and clean. the weather is nice. and belive it or not. GREENER than California, ok, well Southern CA. I was going to post some photos tho, the com wont seem to let me.....boo hooo

Oh, wait wait....here it goes!

and our driveway (1.25 miles long) on two diff nights

Cancer causing California

Soooooo, I go and help my neighbor pick his car up from the train station parking lot and this is the first thing that I come accross. Now, I know it's just a lame warning and all.......but why are these chemicals only know to cause cancer in the state of california? Why not Nevada? Eh? I need to know. Also, I think this sigh should be on the on ramp of all major roadways. since the freekin air along them in S.Cal is so rancid and pollutid that it just CAN'T be good for you.

Good thing I bailed for Nebraska just over a week ago. WheW!

Walking Rain

While Chris and I were on the ~RD home to San Diego, and we saw this wonderful rain, walking rain and it looked so tasty in the heat. Soooooooo we decided to inspect.



Sizeing up the road, we checked it out, wind blowing sideways, temprature dropping by ten degrees. It was lovely. tho we agreed that it was time to bail, since the water flowed so hard that we couldn't see the road condition nor the puddles. and we DID want to get to San Diego sometime that night.

PAIN-ting

SO I have been painting quite a bit as of late. And our house is coming alive in pain ....sorry, PAINT and canvas.



So here are my newist and most favorite of all the things that I have done.....The Six.



I had been wanting to do a set of crows. and had been waiting for the right idea and size. While I was biking in Mission Gorge the other evening, i was joined by a crow, cawing and circling, and flying with me for most of the road. it was wonderful. and this crow was backlit by the bright sky, and when I would look forward and see the negative image on the road. and, that is what I decided to paint.

It's ONLY hair.........

SO, as some of you know, I shave my head about once a year, and keep it for a couple weeks/months sometimes.

Today, I shaved the bangs off my head. So I am an official "space monkey" again. It's the best.

I have had more dirty looks in the last 5 hours for my shaved head, than I did the whole time I lived in Philadelphia.

California, the land of hippies and progressive thought.....yeah right. People muttering "dyke" "THAT girls not straight" and the ever lovely "Look at that, ehh."

It's HAIR, just HAIR. It grows back, and I just don't understand why people need to pass judgment on the kind of person that I am or my sexual orientation because I have a particular hair style.

Chadron Nebraska.....town of less than 3,000. People were less offended by my noggin THERE than here in San Diego. People have been down right rude to me here. Passive-aggressive comments from insecure people. Some how, my hair style bothers them so much that they feel the need to be rude to me.

What i don't understand is why people have an issue with a female with a shaved head. I don't even have it CLEAN shaven. It's about 1/8th inch. I feel clean when my head is like this. I feel strong. I feel efficient and noble.

I happen to LIKE the way that I look when I have my hair like this. I think I look beautiful. I feel that people really have to look at ME when I am like this.

and now.....a brief intermission..................RAWK!




And also......PAIN-Ting.......yep. I have been makin some pain'tin lately. Kinda making a mess to be honest but that is what one does, right? Make a mess......
