i totally whacked myself in the head with a ratchet today.
i was working under the Buick replacing a fuel pump… trying to loosen a bolt that holds the tank strap on… and the socket slipped off the bolt and with quite a bit of force, whacked me in the forehead. it could probably use a butterfly bandaid or something but… i didn’t have any. i’m SO gonna have a forehead scar now. haha.
i need to think up a good story to tell people. since the whole “i hit myself in the forehead with a ratchet” story isn’t all that cool.
any ideas?

those are bandaids (bloody. yum) that you can see on my forehead above my left eye. hehehe.
listening to some old Guster really loud.. cleaning the house. doing yard work. content… knowing that i’m finally able to catch up on my bills and start saving money again. working towards financial freedom.
i CAN do this.
uhh.. drunk as hell. i’m trying really hard not to amke any typing errors. though. i think i just did.
went to the “hideaway” bar with my roomate aaron tonight. it sounds sily i know but i haven’t seen him in almost a week. and being best friends, that’s a longtime. sooooooooo. we went out for “a few” beers tonight after i got off work. i have to be up in three hours for work again!!! ha ha ha!!.. fuuuuuuuuck.
lost my wallet somewhere at the bar. with it, $100. ahh well. i needed a new drivers license anyhow. the picture i had on my old one sucked.
see. find the good… in the bad.
had a great night. played a BUNCH of pool. met a few different people. ‘cock blocked’ aaron (totally by accident) with some hispanic woman (she was 40yrs old from what we overheard… but gorgeous). i wa s drunk. trying to ‘instruct’ aaron to say “tu tienes mi corazon” which means “you have my heart.” she overheard me trying to tell Aaron how to say it…. and said “what did you say?” so i told her. and she said, “that was beautiful. and SO nice.”
and then from that point on, she ‘liked’ me. hehe. but it was all just in fun. good times. i’d better get to sleep before a) i make a fool out of myself on livejournal and b) wittle away at my three hours of sleep that i’m going to get. hah. bah!!
g’night world.
my roomate/friend aaron brought some OLD negatives and slides back from his older brothers house tonight. some are from the 70’s and some of even earlier. a few REALLY fantastic, medium format negatives… and even one LARGE format negative!! i’m going to see if i can print from them. i’m also in the process of scanning some of the slides. there are a few great photos from Kentucky (his grandmother was a photo nut) although they’re ALL really interesting!!
THIS one stood out INSTANTLY as REALLY strange (eerie) etc. i had to scan it. from a slide.

from what Aaron says. that is his grandmother. the slide is dated 6 Feb 1967.
on a totally unrelated note, i’m so ready for bed… and although i think it’s wonderful that they get together, our Mexican neighbors are all members of a mariachi band… and they’re playing trumpet, guitars and singing. definately ‘neat’ on one hand…but annoying on the other. i’m ready for bed. granted, it IS only 10pm (and we’ve thrown parties MUCH later!)
anyhow. expect a lot more photos from this batch of slides and negatives.
oh. and p.s. i’ve just about given up on ‘Australia girl’ ever sending me anything to update travelinghead.com with.
i think i just pissed her off MORE with that whole “fake newspaper article” thing!! but… oh well. hopefully she DID actually send it off (like she said) and i’ll just have to wait for the next person to send me stuff.
psh on her.
