Fuckitol



I have fuck-all to write about. Still dieting, I've hit the slump where the loss slows momentarily. Still trying to at least cut back on smoking. I'm afraid I'll replace it with murdering if I try any harder. Still taking care of the and the dogs and listening to the same cartoons every day.

Meh.
We are taking a short trip to Colorado just to get the hell out of Dodge and blow the funk off before Winter sets in. Going to go see the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak and hopefully get my sea legs back where hiking is concerned. I've missed it pretty badly truth be told. And while I know I'm not ready for the three to five mile straight up a mountain treks I once used to enjoy, some simple mountain paths and trails will be good for me and my camera. Nature sets me to rights most of the time.

You know, I remember being told about all the aches and pains and loss of abilities that growing older brings, but no one warned me about how fucking boring life would be. I'm not the sort to take up knitting or get lost in daytime soap operas. I'm so burnt out on the Internet, Facebook, YouTube, and the ten million other time wasters I've spent most of the last three years using to hide from the world with. I detest the idleness that my current occupation brings. Clean the house, cook, unload and reload the dishwasher, yell no thirty thousand times, open the door for the mutts, call them back in, argue with about why she can't swing from the curtain rods and use the sofa as a trampoline.....go to bed , get up and do it all over again. Short walks around the block to look at the same people, their same yards. Putzing around in the yard.
Frankly, most days my mind is numb with the monotony of it all. And that boredom rather effectively quashes my creativity. I'm struggling just to write this tripe.

I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm grateful as grateful can be that my life is so blessed, that I've enjoyed a relatively peaceful existence for these past few years, that I'm loved and heard. Life truly is good for me in this moment.
I'm just sooo fucking bored.

Maybe a muse will arise, or something will come along and accidentally inspire me.

Till then, then.

Love and Peace✌🏼️

It's funny, I can easily while away a whole day at home without getting bored, but I imagine if I was FORCED to do it, I'd get tired of it.

Losing weight and cutting back on smoking at the same time can be really difficult. Smoking ups your metabolism, so cutting back... Not trying to be discouraging, but I think you should take the attitude that maintaining your weight is a victory. If you start losing again, better yet

I've been at this for three years now, and I do love the girls and I do like being able to be at home. But prior to this? I drove for a living, first as a testing route driver for a cell phone tower maintenance company, and then at three different car auctions. Before that I worked in diners and before that I was a tattooist. It is a drastic change in pace and for a while it was fun, but I think I'm about to turn into a stalk of bananas lol.

I seem to be stuck in a rut myself, especially as I'm not driving any longer. My health seems harder to tolerate these days.
I was watching a fantastic series on the BBC called 'Mountain - Life at the extreme' earlier this evening. This week it was all about the Andes. The salt flats, cloud forests, deserts, volcanoes etc. I found it very inspiring.


wildnwanton replies on 9/13/2017 5:29 pm:
I want to see those salt flats so very badly. And the Northern Lights. And Scotland. And, and, and... I wish I were still young enough to throw caution to the wind and pull a Chris McCandless and wander free. Given my state of being, I might last a week now.

Yup, DEFINITELY sounds like you need a change.

C Springs, GG, and PP are great. C Springs is where I took my first ever hot air balloon ride just about 10 years ago.

Looking forward to lots of pics - enjoy!!

Well, we aren't taking the Dodge, we will be in a Jeep. So I guess I will at least be getting the hell away from Dodge? For a nickel I'd shoot that Dodge in the radiator and put it out of its misery. It has been nothing but a parts whore since the day I got it.

Uhmmm . . . Jeeps are now made by the same company that makes . . . the Dodges you wish to . . . dodge.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Oh hell, I knew that, lol. Damn it man!

Garden of the Gods is a cool place and one day I hope to race up Pikes Peak. But I'm wondering . . . If you drive a Dodge to CO are you actually getting out of . . . Dodge?

A get-away to Garden of the Gods and Pike's Peak. What a great time of year to do
it. I was born and raised in Denver and have been three times but never in the fall.
The aspens will be divine. Are you going to try the cog rail ride to the top?? I finally did it a couple of years ago- simple amazing. Loved thispost- you know where you are

We really never make plans, we just kind of go where the day takes us. But I've heard of the train ride. We might!

This can really be a beautiful time of the year. Something I'm only beginning to appreciate. The back to school hype is over and the holidays don't start for a while. .. The sun is gorgeous. It is starting to cool down, but is still warm. .. Funny then, how boredom can creep in.

Ah, but it is also a great time of year for a nature getaway. That will cure the boredom..

Read my diary Journal of a Taxi Driver for taxi stories and pictures of flowers and trees.

I'm looking forward to the trip, look at the world, do a little people watching. I'm kind of stuck in the house when the kids are here, I can go to the yard with the little one and take short walks, but really can't do a whole lot else.
I'm happy to see that you have found your way back online!
