Bed Extender

I went to Winter Haven and had the bed extender put onto my truck, as well as an antenna. An antenna…that explains why my radio wasn’t working!

Surprise, we have an antenna for you.

…remind me to check next time I get a vehicle. Need antenna.

I’m clearing out a space in the garage down in St. Petersburg so that I can put the car that I can’t drive anymore into it. I’ll get pictures of the new truck stuff and the damage to the car to put up here soon. Well, after I get the bugs cleaned off of it, anyway — we get tons of lovebugs here in Florida, and it’s rather annoying!

Also, the weather is really freakin’ nice today. Maybe I’ll get some pictures of a sunset or perhaps a sunrise…there’s a rumor floating around that I’m going to have dinner on the beach tonight. We’ll see.

Also…somebody asked me if I was a “furry”. No, not so much. Just kinda lycanthropic in my thought patterns sometimes, without the pretense or even the slightest belief in theriomorphism.

New Site Design

I’ve redone the site. What do you think of the new design?

There is an image in the upper-righthand corner of this site. Here are the artist’s words about that image:

not every werewolf is wild.
now you know it.

They’ve found my car, and it’s currently parked in St. Petersburg, Florida. In order to help lessen the amount that I owe to the bank for it, I’m going to be selling the car in pieces. I’ll be selling the 2.7-liter engine, the transmission, alternator, brand new condensor, and brand new compressor — as well as any other parts people may want. After selling the engine and alternator though, I think the car will be up for grabs at a local salvage yard as soon as the title is paid off. Grab it while it’s hot, eh?!

In keeping with having installed the new Gallery software, I’ll occasionally put up images I think are cool. Here’s the first!

Blessings in disguise

I believe in blessings. I just don’t believe in ‘heavenly blessings’. To me, a blessing is merely a good stroke of luck, or a wish thereof.

That being said, I think that all of the bad things that have happened to me lately are blessings in disguise.

I complained about my job to myself, and was laid off. Now I have a better job with better people that say ‘thank you’.

I complained about my computer needing a PCI-Express (or is that PCI-X?) port, and it was hit by lightning. Luckily, a friend of mine lent me his laptop until I can get a new computer.

I complained about my car having no A/C and having other problems. The car was stolen, and now I have a new truck.

I complained about my apartment complex smelling funny and having a mold problem. Now the stolen car gives me leverage to move out early.

Could it be that my complaints are a form of ‘ask and you shall be given’? Would things be better if I had asked instead of complained? Who knows.

What I do know, however, is that the universe acts in mysterious ways to balance things out. It’s a hard life, sometimes. Some people have it harder than others. I’m one of the lucky ones.

Gallery2 added

Okay! I’ve added Gallery 2 to my site, as well as embedded Gallery2 into my blog.

You can see pictures of the new truck here.
