everything everywhere

Hey, Mungo and 007! When you get to AK and realize you are missing a bunch of shit let me know. I will send you all the clothes and DVD's you guys left here. I think there is even a sunglasses case here too.

Maybe we can throw it all in with the house so it will sell faster.

Just call me or email me when you guys get "home on the range" AK style.

ST out

Yep

So, I cancelled my tripod account back in July. Tripod is the company that hosted www.wachel.net for a long time. Well, two and a half months later my credit card it still being charged! So I have left them a voice mail AND sent them ANOTHER email about this. Maybe they will get it right. Next is my bank disputing the charges.

I hope that Mungo and Bubbles are doing well. They should be at least half way done with the AK trip by now. I hope that they give me a call or at least get on the ole bloggie.

Eddie must be getting some ass every night since he is never on here. I caught him on Yahoo and he said that he had to go because he had "company". Yeah, he was getting some or was about to.

Later cyclops'

474 pages

I just copied and pasted the entire blog into a word doc. It was over 525 pages until I changed the font size. Now I have to go back and make every title big again. 474 pages of editing! Oh boy. I also want to make sure that blogs aren't split on two different pages. This will take some time.

Going Going Gone

The adventure begins for one and continues for another.

Mungo is continuing his post USAF adventure while 007 is only beginning his Vegas to AK adventure. Their first stop will be Denver to pick up Justin who is moving to AK to start a new life.

I hope they had a grand time here in Vegas. It was cool as hell to see some of the AK tribe again and hang with them. Mungo has been here before so it wasn't as spectacular as it was for 007. Last night we went to the Stratosphere where 007 rode the Big Shot and the new X-Scream rides. Man, there is no way you would ever get me to ride the X-Scream! That thing is nuts.

Also on the menu last night was Fremont Street. I have lived here in Vegas for awhile now and have never gone to see the light show. I was actually impressed and had a good time watching all the lights with techno music. It was sort of like a 2-3 city block long club with a light show. Coolio.

Putt putt golf at the Scandia Fun Center using combat rules!

I am jelous that they are driving to AK. That it the best drive! Man, one day I will make that drive again. Yes, yes I will.

While they were here we also had some good talks. No VI but we did hit the local IHop after a grueling couple of games of Putt putt.

007 is now a geocacher with over 6 finds and excited about getting to AK and finding more. 007 is also a quad riding freak now!

The two freaks are stopping at Krispy Kreme on their way out of town That sounds good so I am going to go get some as well.

ST out.

PS. Oh yeah, Mungo left all his DVD's here. I will mail them to him in AK. I could do it now and they would beat him there! HA!

Whole Foods Store Girl vs. Pink E's Pool Hall Girls (A Juxaposition of Conspicuous Contradistinction)

Okeday, so. Double O and I woke up to Ashlee's impersonation of a choo choo train. At any other time but 7 a.m. it would have been cute, adorable, and funny. However, it was 7 a.m. and we had only had four hours of sleep. I ended up sleeping in the bathroom with my feet between the toilet and the bathtub behind two closed doors. I slept better there. The occasion marked the first time I had ever gone to sleep in a bathroom...on purpose.

Later in the afternoon after a lunch of cereal and Velveta Shells and Cheese, Double O and I went to the Barnes and Noble 3 miles away from the Turtle Household. I wrote in the journal about the Valley of Fire trip and about riding the quads around the mountains and washes. Double O looked for a mechanic's book but found none. After the maldiscovery, Doubles walked down the strip mall and looked from store to store. He came back with news of a whole foods store down the way called "Whole Foods." We investigated.

I bought a basket of figs, a box of Amarenth Flakes, and a loaf of Eziekial bread. Upon check out I looked for a check out line being run by any females near my age. I found one. The girl was wearing an apron, but I could still make out a portion of the tee-shirt design beneath. It was a Beck shirt. I remarked on it which quickly opened a long conversation about Wisconsin. [Complicated dialogue line not supplied in the interest of the reader.] She was a very nice looking girl who was eager to smile and embraced the moment like only a girl of my dreams could. Had this event transpired in AlAskA or had I made plans to remain in Las Vegas, it would have been easy to ask to see her again. However, I'm leaving on Friday morning and I have no intentions of breaking anyone's hearts. (Okay okay, it's my heart I'm guarding. I'm in love with SOMEONE, I just don't know who, and I do not want to apply that feeling to someone I'll never see again.)

Double O ate two ginger bread men, except for one right leg, which was eaten by me. We returned to the Turtle Home and set the groceries on the table. We watched "Myth Busters" and made plans to play pool. We got directions to Pink E's from Beck (who told us not to ask why she knew it was a cool place) and drove out there.

Once there Double O ordered two stines of Castle Rock and we took up a pay-by-the-hour table in the back corner. Table #54. The place was sprinkled with people, most of them looked local. About 20 minutes after we began play, two 10's walked in and took a table across from us. My first impression is that the blonde white girls wearing their MTv fashions over fake breasts is that they were #1 Bad people, and #2 Strippers. Turns out I was right on both counts. Later a third stripper friend showed up and they all talked nasty about the other girls at the club. I called them "10's" but only as a reflection of what the world would likely rate them. I personally would rate them as "1's." It is a futile task trying to locate the sensation of attaction to people I despise. I don't despise them for being dancers, a friend of mine in Florida happened to be one. I despised them for the things we heard them say. Example: "Why do all the hot guys have to be poor?" Example: "Why were you talking to HIM?" "He works here and I want this shit for free." Example: "Excuse me!" Okay, the last example might be hard to understand. Just use your imagination and create a situation where saying "Excuse me!" could be really bitchy.

All in all, I would take the Whole Foods girl over all three of the strippers a thousand times over and never once think twice.

I have to stop thinking about girls so much.

For dinner Double O and I tried to hit Taco Bell but at 1:40 a.m. they were closed. However, Del Taco was open just down the road. Double O didn't get one of the things he ordered, but the food that we did get tasted just wonderful. He's probably asleep now and if I want any sleep at all, I had better get going. It is 2:45 a.m. and Ashlee will be waking up in four hours... I might as well just go to bed in the bathroom now. I am definitely not used to being in a house with a two year old.

Peace and Love,
Mungo

Go here to register. Memo.

Wish I were there

Bro's, I wish I were there to join in the festivities. We will all get together again sometime. I can promise you that. The next time it might even have to be in AK where we can go camping on the Russian River again.

The strip is cool for about the first couple times, then it becomes another street. Kinda like the Big K, you are a little overwhelmed at first, then it all just blends together and you realize that it is just another road to walk on. (hopefully on the sidewalk.)

Dudes, If y'all could make it over here, now that would be a blast. Though this place is corrupt, it can still be awesome times. It is as much fun when you are sober and just watching the people become fucking idiots as when you are being the idiot.

Well, homegirl used the word boyfriend on Saturday. Good thing there. Another good thing is that she did not do the typical thing that girls do around here after knowing you for 2 days which is saying "I love you." That phrase is worn out here. I am hoping that this girl does not say it for a while. That would be good. Those 3 words are almost as common as the phrase "Your Choice."

The "Your choice" thing is kinda funny in that I sit there, most of the time in my head but sometimes out loud, and say "I know it is my fucking choice, you think that you are making my decisions?" That usually gets them to shut up for a while.

So get this, I am sitting at a bar with my girl when the psycho calls. I am thinking "SHIT, this can't be good." Uh oh #1. But, I talked to the psycho for a couple minutes then hung up. I then looked at my girl and she looked a bit worried then I explained to her that the chick was a psycho and she was like "Okay." Then, while we are still sitting in the bar, 2 girls that works at "Your Club" where I still DJ upon very limited occasions, walks by. I say the girls name (I only knew one of there names) and she walks in and gives me a big hug. Yup, uh oh #2. She says a few things to me then starts talking to my girlfriend in Tagalo. I understand about 1 word in the conversation and that is about it. Anyway, they chat for a few then the 2 from your club take off. Suprisingly my girl had no problems with this and I was like "THANK GOD that didn't backfire"

Sunday was an interesting day for me as you can tell. The night was mainly uneventful except whe I went into the club where the psycho works. She came up to me and tried to kiss me and I just held her back with a soft forearm. I wasn't going to hurt her, just wanted her to keep her distance.

What an interesting weekend.

Y'all have fun and take lots o' pictures.

Eddie

On the road and bummin' it hard

This bloggo is for Eddie.

Double O, Super Turtle, and MeMungo are coolin' our heels here in the high desert. We have been together for 49 hours and are having a great time. We went to the strip yesterday, which was mostly for Bubbles' benifit since he has never seen it. Today we road the quads up into the mountains. I rode with ST, Double O rode Beck's. I am chicken when it comes to motorized vehicals when I'm not surrounded by a reinforced cage. The only reason I rode on the back with ST is because I trust him. I wouldn't have ridden if it were anyone else offering to take me out. We had a blast for 5 hours straight! I am very happy I decided to go along. We rode up to the mountains and around them. ST showed us two of his Geocash's and then he showed us one of someone else's that he found a while back. An odd, but fun, part of the ride today took us down through the concrete-walled flood washs right throgh the city. (Double O has pictures and video.)

Speaking of video, tonight we watched both the DVDs Mike made of our times in AK. Double O and I have been remotivated to get out and hike, camp, and bike a whole lot more than we have been.

Eddie, not only were we motivated to get outside more... but we were all reminded of how great those years in AK were when we were all together. I can speak for Mike and Doubles when I say we wish you were here with us. You are missed a lot. I hope that we'll have this chance again sometime soon. The four of us need to tear it up somewhere.

Tomorrow, we're packing up our junks and heading to Valley of Fire for some campin! Wasn't it great when we went a few years ago? That place was just awsome. I'm looking forward to it. But we're getting up at 6:30 a.m. and I need to go to bed. (See time-of-post).

We'll be updating you on the haps as we go along. Again, wish you were here, brother. Phyically crossing paths is a requirement for a person to meet another. But just because those lines continue on in seperate directions does not mean that the friendship state of mind has diverged. You're here with us.

Peace and Love,
Mungo

PS> Good luck with the girls. The ones here in Vegas don't seem to want anything to do to me. And even though they are EVERYWHERE, I can't seem to find even one. Oh well.

Houston...We have a problem.

They rejected our counter offer. Oh well. It is kind of a relief since we don't have to rush around trying to find a house right away. I personally don't care if we sell it or not right now. Too damn stressful.

Okay. Eddie, you are funny as hell. Nut job.

The bums should be here in less than 3 hours.

ST tired as hell.

Kickin' it still in the Big K

ST, Congrats on the offer. I hope that they decide to buy.

Mungo, I hope your vacation is going good. Get your ass a job now and get back to work you bum.

So here what be going on with me...

I broke it off with Grace (again.) We are just not compatable and it just took me a few times to realize that. OK, so Eddie is compatable with very few chicks. And the ones that he is compatable with, he fucks up by doing or saying something stupid.

I am messing with another girls head though, and it is becoming very fun. Cute girl, just psycho.

Then there is the one that is actually a nice person. Too nice for a guy like me, but she likes hangin out with me anyway. Plus, this girl is just straight up HOT!!! I would have guessed she is way out of my league. Either that or she is fucking with my head, which I would completely deserve.

Man, I am having too much fun here.

Dueces,

Eddie

Houston...We have offer!

We got an offer on our house today. It is listed at $369k and the offer was for $360k. We counter offered with $367k. They have until tomorrow at 6pm to accept or send their counter offer back with a new price. We won't go below $365k since we don't HAVE to sell right now.

I'll keep you homies updated. If they accept our counter then our house will have been on the market less than a week. WOO WOO!

ST gotta get his ass out and find a place to live!

Here they come!

Less than 24 hours and the bums will be here.

I managed to get some time off to hang with them so that will be nice. I have Sat, Sun, Mon. Tue I go in at 1300 and come home on Wed at 0800. I have Thu and Fri off as well if the bums are here that long.

Okay. Now, what to do when they are here? See the strip, hoover dam and ride the quads around. I am not too sure how riding the quads will go since there are two quads and 3 people. It will work out.

I guess it all depends on how much money the bums have to spend.

ST

give a man a little ass and he disappears

Eddie gets some and is no longer heard from. He is probably making wedding plans with some chick! Ha!

I upgraded my internet to the fasted speed that COX offers and it really flies now. I was quick before but now it's smokin.

That's about it. The house still hasn't sold. See ya.

ST

This will be frustrating

I am not the most patient person. I want to sell me house. I WANT TO SELL IT NOW! That's probably not going to happen NOW but it will happen.

I like my house. Maybe if it doesn't sell then we can just stay here.

I don't like all the renters in my "hood" though. Renters lick ass if you are a homeowner.

I am hungry. See ya.

ST

Voices instruct me untill I tumble to uderstanding

In two days I will be leaving Osage. Tomorrow I will be going to church wi th ma and pa. We may end up on a bike ride in Cedar Falls, Iowa. On Monday morning I will hit the road and head for Las Vegas. I'll chill out with my friend, Fish, from high school until Double O comes in. ST, I'll give you a call from Denver's east side.

A voice said to us, "Boys, you've now spent quite enough time on your duffs."
We said in return, "But Sir! We only agree and are fully prepared to gather and migrate. Even now the geese are collecting their flocks together on the great lakes."
The voice said, "And so shall you travel to Denver to gather your minor flock for migration."
We said, "We will be ready, Sir, to migrate north as the geese begin their own co-operative flights on the long journey south."
The voice advised, "Be it known, truely, the geese would never succeed if they did not draft each other in their 'V' formations. They would never make it to thier final destinations if they did now swap out the lead bird."
We rejoiced, "O Great Voice! You have taught us well. For surely, we will trade out the burden of the driver's seat to craftfully avoid road-weariness from setting in."
The voice said, "Go now and rest, for you have a long journey ahead of you."

This will be my last blog for a while.

Peace and Love,
Mungo

Can I Get An AMEN Brother?

AMEN!

I wasn't saved back in 1995. I did join the United States Air Force back in 1997 though. Does that count for anything?

The rain, lightning and thunder came and visited for awhile today. It was just a nice short visit then they said there were other things that needed tending. They told me that they might drop by again tomorrow. I hope they wait until after I am home from work so I can say hi and offer them some tea.

Our carpet was stretched tonight so it is super tight. I mean it's really sic!

Okay, it's 2030. I will now go shower and then go to bed. Bed is my friend.

I had a dream about a 100 lb Pink Floyd record

I met a man at Denny's at 1 a.m. this morning. He was a hard core druggie, boozie, and biker until he got saved in 1995. We talked for 3 hours, the guy was marvolously entertaining.

I'd write more, but this computer is frustrating me. I'm getting really frustrated. I'll go to the library after these people from Charles City come to take away our antique upright piano. The thing weighs 1000 lbs and I have to help.

Peace and Love,

Some of the lyrics these days!

Still waiting for people to line up and fight over our house. I will go out and hand out free lemonade if they show up! "Sir, would you like a refreshing beverage while you wait to fight over my house?" Yeah, that's it.

It might thunder and lightning today...just might.

Silly me.

ST

I must have lost my mind...

OK, So I am a horrible bastard at blogginz as of late. This is partly due to a connection getting fucked up, partly to the page wouldn't load when I tried to get here and the other part of me just being a lazy bastard.

ST, selling all your shit, eh? right on. Sell my car for a profit while you are at it. I will just be lost when I go there in December.

So the everland trip was cool as hell. The chick ditched me and I just got an e-mail from her today. Bitch. But I had a blast anyway because a couple of my friends that came hung out with me and we had a great time.

So here is the lost my mind part of it. Right now, Grace is getting annoyed by my typing since she is trying to sleep. Yes, that is the one that I said didn't trust me, but we are going to give it a shot again and actually try that communication thing.

PEACE!!!

Paint the Town..or at Least the House

I got home from my overnight today and spent almost the entire day painting and touching up the house. Man, a little paint here and there and the house looks a lot better! Now I don't want to move...ok...I do.

We found out that the house across the street sold in less than a week! They got four offers in one day so a bidding war ensued. The house was listed at $375k and ended up selling for $387k! Woo woo! Maybe we can get a bidding war going on ours and get a good price for it too!

Okay, so the house is up for sale and there is still work to be done. Move some furniture and fix a few little things that never really get done unless you have to. I have to.

Eddie just IMed me and said that he is blogging too! Neato. We are both blogging right now!

Okay, I am off to chat. Later homies.

ST

Amazing Rent in DBQ

Hello to all my friends,

This is the slowest computer I have ever blogged on. It's the Kershner family Mac. It has a hard time keeping up with my typing. I don't type THAT fast! I tried disconnecting from the internet, thought that would help. Nope, sure doesn't.

$400 for a three day camping trip for three people!? Yikes! I'd find better ways to spend that doughla too! Crackity Jones! Good luck with the snooty part of town, I hope you find it difficult to fit in there. (That's a complementary wish.)

I spend three days with Sara Jean E. Weber at her amazing apartment. Let me try to describe this place to you guys. I'll just start off with the rent: $365 a month. Smashingly awsome right... The neighborhood: historical section of Dubuque, lots of antique shops, restored old churches and trading depots, civic centers, libraries, parks and banks. $365 a month. She occupies a third of the 2nd and 3rd floors of an enormous building. The 2nd floor has her bedroom, a spare bedroom, full bath, laundry room (a huge one with lots of cupboards) and the biggest walkin hallway closet I've ever seen. The 3rd floor has a living room twice the size of my entire studio apartment in AK. There is a big kitchen and back room with bath. A door out the back room goes to a wrought iron fire escape with a staircase to the roof...where there is a green house and bird "coupe." Also, there is a picnic table on the roof. $365 a month. Oh by the way, real brick on the west wall, fire place, hard wood floors, spanking new carpet, and cherry banisters. Can you believe that? I hate her. We watched movies and had barbeques in the dark. I was going to see her show with London Forces, but did not. The place they were going to play at closed down without a reason or warning. Apparently, people planning on attending still showed up and found the place closed down, lights out. We never found out why. The is a music newspaper in the tri-state (Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin) area and Sara's band will have a cover feature done on them in the near future. Cool, huh?

My tent is set up in the back yard- for air. I'm thinking about sleeping in it tonight. The weather is perfect here.

What's up with Eddie? ST, has he spoken to you at all?

Peace and Love,
Mungo

Song of the day: Elf Power - "Felt Good to Burn"

selling the range

We are selling the range and will be in search of greener pastures.

The old homestead is going up this week sometime. We are looking at buying a house in the snooty part of town that is about 10 minutes from here. Our neighborhood is turning into all rental units and this isn't where we want to be since we have decided to stay in Vegas for a while after I get out of the military.

We are also putting an add in the paper to sell the trailer. Why? Because the dollar to fun ratio is just not right. Although we can afford to camp and pay for the good time we have chosen not to pay for it any longer. Up to $400 for a 3 day weekend of camping (gas, food, site and misc) gets expensive fast. That is not including the trailer payment and the money spent for storage. We would rather put the money in to a nicer house and better neighborhood. This shouldn't affect the homies coming to LV to visit except that we have to keep the house clean all the time in case someone wants to look at it.

Okay then....I'll keep you updated.

ST

Home On The Range Minnesota Style

Just walked in the door. Knew what I had to do, so here I am. Told you I would so here I am. I guess I'm here.

MN was a good time. I was being stalked everywhere I went, though. Why, who in the world would be stalking me? The whole damn state of Minnesota, that's who! State fair on Sat was hot, humid and CROWDED! We had fun anyway but it took a lot of patience. Sunday we went to the Mall of America and suffered the same fate as the fair (without the heat and humidity). People everywhere!

The family is doing well. It is nuts to think that my sister is a senior in high school starting tomorrow! WOW, how time flies. Everyone else is doing well and the visit was great.

So here I am...back on the range.

ST

Still Dreaming?

1:14 a.m. I went to bed exactly 3 hours ago. I woke up and fell asleep three times. When I left the bedroom in search for a clock, I was certain I was going to find th time to be around 6 a.m. How wrong I was! Many crazy dreams ran through my had in the time I was asleep. I don't remember more than just flashes now. I feel like my head was sawed open and sewn back together again with limp spagetti...if I move to quickly, the sutures will pull free.

In my last post (2 Days and Tomorrow) I wrote that tonight's plan would only included cleaning and sorting my things. I didn't do much of that, although I did make the breaktrhough decision to take the Cutty flask, brown/white towel, and my hipholster tape measure to Goodwill. (Didn't think I had it in me to part with such sweet things, huh?) But after that, my mother went to bed early and I didn't want to be banging around too much with her in there trying to get well soon. So I left again. I took a folding chair, my camera bad (with a roll of 200 speed film, a roll of 800 speed film, and a roll of 1600 speed film), a book of CD's, a brand new journal (it's a red book, larger than a text book), a flash light, and a plan to march through the woods, ford the river to to the center sand bar, set up the chair, and write in my journal while taking progressive pictures of the sinking sun behind the one lane bridge. I didn't quite get that far. I busted through the woods, suffered the ditch weed, almost broke my butox walking over the deadfalls at the river's bend, and was finally discouraged by a 7 foot span of 12 inch water (deepest estimate). I walked back up to the bridge becoming ensnared in thorns and entangled in frustration. Little bugs nipped at my ears and my cheeks and were squished in my eye lashes. Running around a river valley with no bug spray in the summer during sunset?!?!?! What was I thinking? I took a few pictures, 18 in all, from the bridge. Perhaps some of them will come out.

I just got an idea for another computer project our friendly friend ST can head up for us. Mikey, how about setting up a photo album for yourself, Eddie, Double Oseph, and me! On line! Ya, we could e-mail pictures to you, updates and whatnot. Shnikies, what a great idea. Thank goodness I'm not in charge of that one. Turtle, you sure have your hands full.

I just got a message saying "The network was terminated due to lack of activity." I guess that's Mac's way of saying, "You type too damn much, go back to sleep."

Peace and Love,
Mungo

Song of the early morning: Clannad - "Trathnona Beag Areir"

2 Days and Tomorrow

Here was yesterday in Mungo's world: Woke up at 4:30 p.m. Chatted with sister Caitlin and her boyfriend, Dan. They were doing important things for college. I ate cereal and fruit salad left over from Charlotte Ruth Circle. I took my sweet time showering and getting ready to leave the house. I rode my bike to the public library to do puzzles with the old and infirm...and to blog my eyes out. But, the library closes at 5:30 on Friday, no the normal 8:00. I looked up at the bank marquee and it said, 5:27. "Oops. I forgot it was Friday." -- That was the first time I had ever spoken those words. So I rode my bike to the Mitchell County Press-News where Popalopagus was still working. Mary Loden, a coworker, let me in the locked building and I sat waiting for Pops to be finished creating the A section of next week's paper. He walked home, I rode my bike beside him. By 6:15 p.m. Caitlin and Dan were working at Hardees and I had just gotten the lawn mower started and had half a lap done in the back yard. My dad came out to the back yard and gave me the "cut it" hand gesture. I cut it. He said, "You and I need to ride out to Mason City, you're mother is in the Emergency room." So, we went. After an IV and some time resting she was mostly recovered from an ordeal with her heart. I have inherited my mother's faulty heart so what happened to her scared me double time. For me, and for her. We all came home and I was feeling restless. Chris Klatt called me from Logan, Utah. He and I made plans for a visit to Logan on the weekend of the 25th if that works out. I left Osage and headed west down highway 9, turned south down a mysterious path and drove many miles to the one-lane bridge that I shared with Jill in 1997 and 1998. If you remember, Jill is my friend who died, the one I am writing a book about. I sat there in the dust and gravel of the bridge staring at a clear sky remembering her. I sat there with a thermos of hot coffee for three hours. Then I left, drove home. Didn't fall asleep until 7 a.m.

Today. Slept for 1.5 hours. Woke up at 8:30 a.m. Cleaned and sorted my things until 10:30 a.m. I drove to Mason City and had my oil changed and my rotars replaced. They had been machined and turned back in April, but that 12,000 miles ago. Came home, finished mowing the lawn, washed my car. The rest of the night includes doing laundry, and cleaning and sorting my things some more. It seems like a fruitless task.

Tomorrow moring at 7:30 I will leave Osage. I will spend the morning driving to Dubuque. Once there, Sara Jean and I will visit. Tomorrow night she has a rock and roll show. I am looking forward to seeing London Forces for the first time.

I'm not going to spell check a damn thing.

Long hair, ass bare,

Song of the day: Unwritten Law - "Shallow (accoustic)"

2nd largest

MN here we come. We are leaving tomorrow for the land where my parents live and where the 2nd largest state fair resides. I think that we will have a good time and eat lots of foods that are served on a stick. Ride some rides and be sort of sick. Tell Ashlee to be careful about a million times. Chase Ashlee about a million miles. My legs will be sore and my mind a little numb. Too bad I couldn't have the numb legs!

I am sure that all will be well and that there will be lots of fun to be had by all. I will post more when I return on Mon night. I am taking a break from the computer. Of course as soon as I walk in the door someone will ask me to fix the computer. What can I say? They paid for the damn tickets!

So I guess I will be fixing computers on this trip. I probably still won't blog until I get home.

Later my peeps.

Terrible Friends

"I would be a terrible friend if I left Double O hangin' in Denver without a ride..." --Mungo


Yes, you would be a terrible friend. But that would be some funny shit! I could just see him getting off the plane and looking around in that way only Bubbles can. Then saying to himself, "Well shit!".

That is a funny ass vision. Luckily you aren't a terrible friend. Luckily.

ST being demented.

Thanks

Thanks goes to the Mungo. Why? Dare you say why? Well then, I shall tell you EXACLTY why! Yes I will!

Even though Mungo is having adventures and good times. Even though he must make treks to the book place. Even though he could be a free bird and not have a care in the world....

He still manages to make it to the Blogginz and share his adventures and revalations with us. THANK YOU! The effort is appreciated.

ST out.

Things are turning yellow

Eddie and ALL: Be at ease! I only meant I would not be able to make it to Minnesota. Golly, I'll be in Las Vegas if I have to hitchhike. But I won't need to, I have enough money to make the trip. I won't have a lot of extra spending freedom, but I'll have enough to be where I want to be...when I want to be there. I would be a terrible friend if I left Double O hangin' in Denver without a ride...

Things in Iowa are moving very slowly, which is great. I'm finding new ways to relax everyday. Don't worry, weed isn't one of them! I have been doing a lot of reading and writing. And sleeping, walking, biking, and mountain climbing. Wait, no mountain climbing. I'm in the midwest. Driving around Iowa in the afternoon with mellow music and the windows rolled down is severely relaxing. I say "severely" because it almost makes you want to take a nap at 55 mph. I will miss the beauty of the isolation found here. The leaves are starting to change on the trees and the soybeans are begining to turn yellow. The tassles on the corn are at their highest maturity and the interspersed male/female rows of corn are quite striking. I will miss it, but I will not hesitate to leave it behind when AlAskA is looms on the horizon. But for now, I am enjoying the plain paradise of the heartland.

I sold 50 CD's today for $179. Not the best rate, but it's better than nothing. I have decided to whittle my CD collection (and all my possesions) down to the bare essentials. I want my things to be neat and void of any extrainium.

I have to head home. My mother is hosting this month's Charlotte Ruth Circle; it's a christian bible study for the women of the chruch. I'm going to help her straighten up the house.

Peace and Love,
Mungo

PS__Rah Rah, shish coom bah!

PPS__Today is my first full day of official freedom. I am no longer federated, fellas.

Here I ago, again on my own...

What is up in the world of the bro's?

Mungo, do you mean that you are not going to make it to Vegas or just up to MN? That would be fucked up to not make it to Vegas and poor financial planning at that. Especially since Bubbles actually got a ticket to fly down there.

ST, pay off my car while you are at the upgrades to your house. That would be awesome. LOL!

I have yet again started a relationship and broken it off already. I was actually dating her a little bit while I was with Elena. Not the reason I broke it off with Elena, but it made me realize that I need to stay single for a while.

This chick was a reminder of the song "She fucking hates me" It went well for about an hour, after that, shit got sour.

Nice girl though. She was actually a sweetheart, but very mistrusting. Didn't believe 90% of what I said. Understandable at times, but shit, 89% of those times I was telling the truth.

I am going to Everland on Monday. We are having a squadron outing. It is a theme park here in the Big K. It should be a lot of fun. I am going with this girl named Rah Rah. Her real name is Cathe (pronounced Cathey, just aint got no "y" on the end) but she introduced herself to me as Rah Rah. She use to be in my squadron when she was here the last time.

Yes, Eddie is actually going to go out with an American chick. I don't plan on having this one last any longer than when she leaves Korea though. Probably a good thing. I don't want to carry anything on to the next place right now. Cute chick. Actually, she is a hottie and I wonder why she decided to actually go out with me. The only other time we went out, I was already blasted since I was drinking at the Sq Bar for about 3 hours prior. I now have to convince her that I am not always a stumbling drunk. It shouldn't be that hard, just gotta be sober when I go out with her one of these times.

I think I am better off staying in the AF. It is better for me in the long run. I will just be a cop when I retire. Don't ask why I changed my mind, but for some reason multiple factors added together that I am still trying to figure out what they were. Mostly, this is all I have known since being out of HS.

Later

Eddie
