the law of the land can't contain me

Today I wanted to be a good law abiding citizen. No one ever told me it was going to be so hard. Driving the speed limit isn't an easy. Ok, truthfully I wasn't going the speed limit but roughly 5-10 mph over. But still, that wasn't easy in this traffic. Especially with people passing me like I was standing still and spitting on me. Yeah, someone spit on my windshield. Some rather large peon driving an over sized milk truck spit on my windshield. Just because I was going 7 over the limit doesn't mean you have spit on me. I clean my car/truck/suv, drive the speed limit, sort of, and this is the thanks I get? I'm just happy I have a windshield.

Symphony in the park tonight. If it's half as good as it was last weekend I'll show up on time this go around.

I had some tomato basil soup last night and it was truly a party in the mouth. A very formal, wearing a tux kind of party. If I could eat that stuff everyday I would. More than likely for breakfast, lunch, dinner and 4th meal.

What's the ballet term for a 360-degree turn on one foot?

it's a beautiful day

I figured out the secret on how to start the morning off right. I have never been in such a good mood in the morning. Ever. Instead of waking up on time, I hit the snooze about 6 times. I really like hearing that song "Beautiful Day" by U2 blaring through the phone. Did manage to get a shower without a problem. Plenty of shampoo and man soap. Get dressed. Change shirts, this one is too wrinkled. Get dressed. Change shirts, dang toothpaste. Get dressed. Change pants, looks stupid with shirt. Get dressed. Look like a billion dollars.

Dogs are nice.

On the way to work I was stuck in thick, but moving swiftly, traffic. One cop had single handedly slowed the entire interstate down to the posted speed limit for 15 miles. Finally someone with balls the size of watermelons, courage like a lion, and nerves of steel decided to pass the cop and get on with breaking the law. I single handedly got traffic flowing to normal when I passed the cop going 10 mph over the speed limit. Living life on the edge gives me great joy and stains in my underpants, sometimes.

Driving on the road to JSC I was completely zoned out until the crossing guard at the school started flagging me down. What the crap? Opps, school zone with flashing yellow lights means to slow down to 20 mph, not go 45.

If I ever hear the complete song "Beautiful Day", I'll probably pull all of my hair out. All of it.

New work badge today! Does that deserve an exclamation point? I thought so this morning before I entered building 110. The sign says "Line begins here." "Hey boy, line starts back there." Crap, now everyone thinks I'm an idiot. They'll wonder how I ever got a job at NASA. After waiting in line for 15 minutes and watching the shuttle land it was my turn. I should've just run away instead. After much confusion and nonsense the lady got on with taking my mug shot. "Were my eyes closed in the picture. It felt like I blinked." Badging lady, "No, you look fine." The new picture looks like I'm stoned. Pot smoking, I've got the munchies, stoned. Head tilted back, hair going every way but down, no smile, slight pale/pasty looking skin, left eye almost closed, right eye half way closed, and eye brows raised. Probably the worst picture ever taken in the history of NASA.

Some guy at work plays in a band. He showed me the band's website. Soon after he left I closed the window.

The dentist visit today was such a disappointment. I'll probably never go back again.
