madder'dan hail

i red/reed my sister-in-laws(erin shaw) blog.. she blogged not long ago about how mad clothes hangers can make you...she claims they bring the worst out in her more quickly than anything else. i never get mad but do curse when dealing with all sorts of things including hangers. i am a mess and would be worse if i didnt use preventative maintenance techniques. you see..once in college i went to my closet to find a hanger and had no empties on the rack.. i was "garfunckled"(i know) confused. has someone raided my closet and taken only empty hangers? i turned and realized i had about seven hangers on the floor... how has this gone so long...i estimated that it was a month worth of hangers. i arrived at this estimate because i got three wears out of most shirts before hanging them back up.. and preferred t- shirts most days. so my method of prevention was to pull the shirt off the hanger and leave the hanger on the rack.. genius i know. anyways i have shallow closets in the scense that the width of the hanger is exactly the depth of my closet.. and it is not a big closet. so my frustration is not tied to tangled hangers in a pile because i never take them out of the closet.. but more that my closet is small and full of hangers that fit about the same as tupaware covers after the first wash.

by the way... when is one of the 16 csi shows gonna tackle the sock thief case, or the umbrella mystery. i should probably turn myself in for stealing umbrellas.. i dont remember ever stealing an umbrella but i know for damn sure i have not purchased the ones i have..i have a couple by the door and atleast one in my car.. maybe i black out and wander around town stealing umbrellas and leave the scene with out a trace. better yet maybe we have finally figured out the sharing thing..that there are only a relatively small number of umbrellas in the world and those that need an umbrella have them. maybe we can operate with other things the way we do with umbrellas. when you are leaving somewhere take what ever you can that the people you are leaving wont need or atleast wont need until some else shows up with enough items to fulfill such needs. this is not a good idea sorry. you wasted time reading that non sense. seriously though if you are in downtown ruston and find it raining.. shoot me an email or a text because i may have your umbrella. again sorry for stealing umbrellas and writing this horse shit.

if i am honest and fair to myself i would have to say that i am unfair. which is hard for me since i am so often unfair. i dont give people truthful answers in regards to how well they are performing. this thought resurfaced in my mind this morning while hunting ducks.. which is somewhat of a "misappropriated"(casey p.) term. hunting after all should involve stalking and grabbing. i prefer hiding from ducks, and blasting them in the face with steel, a more appropriate appropriation of terms. anyways, hiding from ducks and tricking them into landing amongst a bunch of plastic ducks involves the use of duck calls. this is a skill that is learned through teaching and repetition. i have not repetitioned in about 5 years but this morning unfortunately i found that i was the most able caller in the blind(hiding spot). and in the words of austin fallin..."that aint good"! anywhosal.. dub(b. walker) was making calls and asking if it was any good and at first i said "not bad... that's pretty good" when honestly it sounded like squeaky breaks or a bear snoring.. bp(b. pullin) was giving it his all and grunting into the call with all his heart and the duck call just was not responding to his enthusiasm. brad won the hustle award..dub won the most enthusiastic.. i won the not scared to mess it all up award.. but in the midst of our debacle.. my thoughts went to church singers.. the platform for enthusiastic people to sing and Be patted on the back and told good job not matter how tone deaf they are or dumb they would better off be..this only to lead them to try out for american idol and Be shocked/crushed that Simon is laughing. i remember as about a 12 year old hearing some pretty girl sing in front of the church and people congratulating her on a job well done..when she really embarrassed herself..i thought back to it when american idol got big and people started asking..." how do these people not know?" positive re-enforcement is a double edge sword. a gift and a curse.. sometimes when the horse bucks you off its back...you should stay down, play dead.
after all its just a saying.

done blowin smoke!
