I've been thinking about just 'running away'...find a place...and just 'be'.

Since I woke up today, I've been sipping on dextromethorphan cocktails; prayerfully wishing nobody walks into my office with anything to say or ask. I'm in a mood to 'downsize' my life - maybe move to alaska; live off the land - find a place where 'success' is measured in terms of securing Heat, Food, Shelter for one's family.


The air is warm today - probably in the mid 60s; but humid. Not a bad day - walking along the breezeway from my office door to gop_jeff's I notice the cloud-filtered sunlight casts a neat glow upon my car, sitting in the parkinglot.

My daughter is growing up too fast. She's already got a 'shape' to her - unlike todlers, whose bodies aren't much more than belly, head, and limbs.

I watched "After the Sunset" last night; Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hyak, and others...I want what they have - those characters...not the $...just the "a certian-said I don't know what." The movie gets a 1.5 out of 5 stars. The ending seemed like "okay, we're out of money, lets find a way to end this thing."


Best line I've read today? "Nothing comes from nothing." isn't that the truth? Nothing ventured, nothing gained...nothing planted, nothing harvested. Nothing invested, nothing returned.

I haven't yet figured out if it's a brave person that keeps getting up after being knocked down so many times or if they're just plain stupid.
I mean , if you don't want hit again, just stay down!

But what good is life if you don't try? To say when it's all over, I did my damnedest, I gave it my best shot, I came out the victor.

Was that not the best movie! I saw it this past weekend. Wow.

The main reason I want to run away is because I'm afraid of an imperfect world. I just don't think that I can be the spouse my wife needs.

I have often thought about buying a ticket for a Greyhound bus to Austin, Texas. I saw Matthew McConaughey on TV the other night talking about it and it sounded like a nice place to visit - I love their ranches and national parks. My mom does my banking for me though but I think I can scrape some money together...maybe a rebate check for my cell phone. And I think I have a little money in an old credit union account.

I'll only take about $40 out of the ATM card. I don't want to use my card anymore because my mom would be able to track me down.

So...after all this, I figure I'll take a bath..eat some dinner, then tell my mom I'm going for a jog and plan to run until I'm tired. Instead, I can run a few blocks away to the city library, where I can take a taxi took her to the airport. I'll grab the bus there.
