Bill's Story
Spent the last 30 wandering aimlessly bouncing between one hopeless relationship to another-Woke up one morning feeling like I had been hit on the head with a hammer and as there was a hammer next to the bed I suppose it could have happened-I dunno, because I vaguely remembered bringing someone home but the bed was now empty-As was my wallet and the china cabinet...Well, anyway! After several swigs I was back on my back and contemplating the ceiling..."why do they build them so low"? Then I realized I was shacking in a used pop-up camper that I bought cheap as it had no wheels and seemed like a good idea as the salesman said it was perfect for people who had tired of the wanderlust and were seeking stability.....That is all beside the point but it seemed like a good place to start because it was on that day that I stumbled outside into a rain shower and feeling refreshed headed for the library for some literary endeavoring. Ran into my therapist there who just happened to be researching obsessions,compulsions,addictions.ADHD,depression, self esteem issues, substance abuse and several other topics-As paranoia is not one of my problems it did not register at the time but several months later boy it did!!! I am sorry for getting off track! Will get back to that one some other time........Anyway, what I did discover that day was the INTERNET and the ease you could "surf it"! virtually anywhere! to anytime! And it was all for FREE! At the library! Wow!
Well, thats the reason I am here now, I "surfed" way back and when the wave crested I found myself tossed on the shore of "Cobra Island"-Imagine my shock at seeing that all of you are still out there frozen in time and remembrance!! As I now grow weary of exclaiming! I'll cut to the chase..Madamme Henning, Mr Hightower: You guys were right-An education does pay except when you don't have one and as its too late to make it up by detention or summer school I will just finish here by saying you guys sure knew what you were talking about. Other than that just want to say HI!all you fellow Central Highers.
UPDATE 5/2011
Have embarked on a new "life choice" I call "Camping-Un-Plugged". It was only a "choice" based on the strictest of interpretation-I "chose" to smoke in bed and as those cheap blunts are not self extinguishing that wheeless pop up camper is now a smoldering dream....It's just as well as it had depreciated rapidly in value and was too small for entertaining properly and I must admit it is somewhat pleasing to peer up at the sky when I implore the heavens for something free and easy to achieve......I gave up ...Expand for more
on moving in with good old Mom mainly because the nursing home makes me leave when visiting hours are over and her lunches are awful and she doesnt know who I am anyway but I have staked out a promising commercial property that appears under utilized and a prime opportuniy for a go-getter like me...I am referring to the I95 interchange at ??????? (purposely distorted to prevent any of you "Cobras" from slithering in and taking a bite of my apple), a good sign and a willingness to stand for hours is all it takes to harvest the pocket change from those who feel intimidated by my haughty stare and deplorable clothing. I do have nice threads but quickly discarded the Hugo Boss suit as counter intuitive to the message and "Dress For Success" says to match your clothing with your pursuit and as I am pursuing nothing thats pretty close to what I wear. That and my cleverly phrased sign "Not Particularly Interseted In Working For Food But Will Beg For Money" has garnered me somewhat of a following and steady stream of income-With my current low overhead and the low start up cost of my business (a marker and a piece of cardboard is all it took!), I expect to set aside quite a tidy sum and should save enough to buy a tent when Wal-Mart has a summer clearance in a few months.......The whole thing has given me a renewed sense of optomism that has even spilled over to my romantic life, yes, a new girl friend!!! She showed up a few weeks ago on the opposite corner with her own sign and I very cleverly yelled out to her after rush hour "Hey Baby, Whats Your Sign". She scurried away real fast but as I still got the legs, my superior stride over a couple miles quickly over the course of a day brought me close enough to yell "You wanta swig of my beer" which brought her to a screeching halt-I mean literally screeching and swinging her sign at me too! As it was made of a non durable paper it quickly disentegrated on my head and prompted a round of wailing that I had ruined her business. Quickly seeing the opportunity I offered her the use of the backside of my sign and equal sharing of my corner and after some contemplation the offer was accepted. Now we are together every day sharing, caring, occasionally swearing and at the motorists staring and daring to pursue a mutual dream. She talks a lot but as most of time it is to herself and as I don't know much about aliens or black helicopters or implants in your brain and stuff like that I rarely have much to say in response. Well anyway, just wanted to post a update and will be back in touch with you "Cobra snakes" real soon!!
