i need a vacation...

so first off, i realized recently that my last few blogs had a one word title. that kind of bugs me cause you all know i don't like to get pigeon holed into anything. that aside, i've bumped it up to 3 words this time.

so i just found out that billy idol, yes, rebel yell, white wedding, rock the cradle of love billy idol has a christmas album out; billy idol's christmas 2006. i was unfortunate enough to see the white christmas video, and my thoughts of that sneering, rocker, that guy who made it ok to be punk, to be angry, to vent has died. now several years ago, david bowie and bing crosby did the little drummer boy. this was ok to me as bowie wasn't a rocker like idol.

so i've recently said out loud that i am a bad friend. i tend to put off the important things, like friendships for other things. many of them work related, lazy related, poor time management related. pick one, make up another, it all seems to fit. my best friend has a daughter. i have seen her maybe 6 times in the past 2 years. i have seen him few times more than that. i have no excuses. his life is more complicated. i get that. his time is more consumed with family, i get that too, thus, it should be my role as a friend, my role as someone who has a heart to make the time to go to them. to make their lives easier so they don't have to pack up and head my way. i am one, easy enough to get in the car, or get on the bike, and go there. i promise i will make ammends, as i feel as if i have let him, his wife, their child, and one on the way down. please forgive.

along those same lines, there used to be a group. one that hung out on ocassion, one that met at the wine bar, restaurant, whatever, and just hung. i don't think i have seen or heard from any of them in months. one lives half a mile away. now granted, i know one lives far away, one i only really saw during poker, and a party a year, and others are married with kids, or kids on the way (it bothers me that i don't even know if one who was pregnant last i heard had had her baby yet). so things do get in the way. it makes me sad. i want to reach out, yet...

there is another group of friends, my hashers, who i adore, and see sometimes, but not on a regular basis. there was a time when i found hashes 3-4 times a week, but like i've said, life gets in the way. i want to go places, i want to see people, i just don't. i've gotten a few offers to ride my motorcycle to some of their meighborhoods, and i might, i just might. i did have a brilliant weekend a few ago at the ho-down. always good to go camping, and see people.

oh, ok democrats, you've been given the holy grail... DON'T FUCK IT UP!

anyone else distraught over the brittany/k-fed divorce? i thought they would be happy forever... :-) Bwaaaa haaaaa haaaaa haaaaa haaaaa

fall...

i simply love riding the motorcycle on a warm fall day. i left the house to get something to eat, and ended up at a diner i go to often. i was unable to decide on a place, wanting to maybe try something new, but liking the familiar. i sat where i normally sit, and ordered what i usually order. boring

i then wanted to enjoy the day and ride. ride far, and explore, but again, indecisive, so ended up riding the same roads as usual. i'm bored, i'm tired, i'm in need of a change, a vacation, away.
