100th Entry …
This is entry number 100 … woohoo! It took five months and now I’ve made it to a 100th journal entry. Looking back at that first entry, things have changed quite a bit here in journal world. First the black background and green text is gone … I went through and changed all the old ones to this color. Second, well there is just alot more stuff on the page … hopefully keeping your interest.
So, I spent alot of time today trying to think about what to write about … how does one commemorate such an important milestone?
Possibly a short look back to that day on July 1st, when I decided to start this up … the name Commixion came after looking up on Thesaurus.com, different words for random and mixture of thoughts. Starting a journal actually took a lot of thought … will I be able to talk to an audience, will I have enough to say, will people be interested enough to stick with me?
Oh, well, I know Denise is still out there somewhere … Hi Denise. I’m so in touch with my readers … aren’t I. Well, when you only have four it’s pretty easy. Okay, so there are more than four thanks to my journaler friends, who are helping me hit 1000.
I should also thank those of you that are letting me know when things appear out of whack … I’m planning a little redesign with out frames, but for now this is it.
So, I think this will end my academy award thank you speech … I’m beginning to make myself nauseous.
In the spirit of thanksgiving here are a few things you should be thankful for … well, okay, I couldnt resist adding to them in italics.
The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. It also means my friends are a bunch of lazy ass losers that left the mess for me to clean up.
The taxes I pay because it means that I’m employed. Oh lucky me … thank you for taxing me to death.
The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat. No, it means you have too much to eat … clothes shouldn’t fit snuggly, they should fit properly unless you make a god damn pig of yourself.
A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home. Yeah, it also means someone is treating me like slave labor … hello, could someone help me??
All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech. Yeah … they are still overspending and taxing me too much … see I’m using my freedom of speech right now.
The space I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking. I like the far spaces … why make it easy on myself, plus people are so god damn rude and bang up my car with their crappy ass cars.
The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear. And obviously she can’t …
The piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear. And I don’t have a servant like everyone else.
The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I’m alive. Barely … and what the hell is my alarm going off so early in th morning for.
Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive. What the hell have I been doing … I work at a computer all day … if I have weary and achy muscles at the end of the day, something else was going on.
Getting too much email like this one, but knowing that I have friends who are thinking of me. And spamming me with shit all the time … great friends I have.
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks … sure. But it’s also a time to gorge yourself with handfuls of food, and then plop down on the sofa and barely be able to move for hours afterword. Are you still thinking of eating too much and possibly doing something you’ll be sorry about. Okay I warned you.
This lady had a good Thanksgiving meal and then sat on her husbands face.
Well, thank you all for sharing this 100th entry with me … I’m hoping for another 100 if anyone returns after this one.
By the way, work went well … I got off at 2PM to start this holiday on the right foot. And now I have to carry my cellphone around with me for the next four days, because I’ll be on call to do site testing at any moment. That’s what I get the mediocre bucks for …
