big wheels keep on turning...

Looked at a nice JEEP yesterday.

A wrangler.

And as Jeeps tend to be, driving it is rather like riding in a hay wagon as far as handling, ride, maneuverability etc. And for a 4cyl. engine, not the best mileage. Very Spartan interior--less for the rain to damage when it starts to pour and you forget or don't have time to get the softtop back up.

But, I think I'm getting it.

I want it.

I suppose every man has his "mid-life crisis" vehicle. For some men --OK, a LOT of men--it's a sportscar: it's about speed or money or compensating for other, how do we say, um "deficiencies." You know, the "hey, look at me in the shiny red, ridiculously priced, import speedster." Yeah, the guy with the little dick, bad wig, and fast expensive car.

Not me. Nope. For me, it's about reclaiming some semblance of being truly carefree, invulnerable, and exuberant.

Yup, I think this JEEP might be MY mid-life crisis vehicle. And I'm gonna get it, take it to the beach for the summer and never worry about the rain.

Long Time Gone:

Been gone awhile.

Well, not gone so much as indisposed.

Incummincado.

Busy. Overwhelmed even.

Time is freeing up some now, soon to be pretty limitless. Can't wait.

Promise more updates soon.

Till then...peace out.

X-Man

Which X-Men character are you most like?

You are Professor X!You are a very effective teacher, and you are very committed to those who learn from you. You put your all into everything you do, to some extent because you fear failure more than anything else. You are always seeking self-improvement, even in areas where there is nothing you can do to improve.

Hard Day's Night

"Although unlikely, in the case of erections lasting for more than four hours, seek immediate medical attention..."

Um, this has been known to happen. Yes, personally and without pharmaceutical assistance.

That's all I'm sayin...
