What the hell...I'll post!

I've ignored this long enough. With the new year, of course, comes new promises and one of those is to un-neglect this blog. I've been keeping my writing for another blog: sarcophilia.blogspot.com but I figured, as the title clearly states, what the hell...I'll post!
The New Year was an amazing time of family and friends. I realized that as I get older nothing gives me more pleasure than to watch my grandnieces and nephews enjoy life. They danced and laughed and danced some more; were pains in the rear end of us grown ups and the cause of our greatest laughter outbreaks. Precisely what they're supposed to do: remind us that life will go on without us! But I'm a pessimist and laughter can last only so long.
2011 brought along its little rub: my truck is kaput and I'm left with the first major decision of the year; get a new vehicle or get a bike. Were I in a larger city, a vehicle would be indispensable. But as I find myself in Kingsville, a bike isn't such a bad idea. Certainly more pros than cons!

I was reading about the, ok I'll call them phenomena, in AR. Apparently, within a week's time thousands of birds and possibly hundreds of thousands of fish have been found dead or dying. Surely, there's a reasonable explanation but it got me thinking about some blog ideas alla the Onion: humorous takes on the Apocalypse. What if the apocalypse began in AR and moved west into OK. And wouldn't it be funny if it (yes, I'm personifying the Apocalypse) came to a crossroads: Do I go North into KS or South into TX? OR maybe a game show where contestants try to distinguish between a "Seal" a "Trumpet" or a "Plague" and when/if they guess wrong (as their final answer) then the given plague would befall the earth! "Answer: The Daily Trouble!!"

So yeah, that's my thought process today: my first day off of 2011!

Cheerio!
