(no subject)
In the spirit of fairness (and because I'm somewhat afraid of solikeme) I guess I'll try this posting seven consecutive days thing. I don't post often because my life is either A. Too boring or B. Too eventful and I don't feel like rehashing everything. Either way, it's going to be tough trying to dig up a weeks worth of crap to write about.
Summer is in full swing here in ND and it's boring as ever. I find it interesting that an 80 degree day calls for me to turn on our little window AC unit. What happened to the desert girl I used to brag about being? I hate ND summers. Of course, I also hate ND winters. I think I just hate ND. It's not so pretty here after two years. The river that runs through town (and right in front of my house) smells rather rank and I've yet to seen it without debris floating about. The muskrats love it, and they are fun to watch swimming - but the mere thought of sticking so much as a toe in that water is enough to make my skin crawl. The trees are green and the sky is blue without a hint of smog to turn it that familiar shade of shit brown. I can take a full breath wtihout coughing (or at least I could if I'd completely kick this disgusting smoking habit). The air is clean and the water is filthy. The streets are still littered by the sand they sprinkle during winter - the city seems completely disinterested in cleaning that. It's windy nearly every day, which just kicks up all the dirt and blankets everything in a fine layer of the stuff.
But, I have a girl I love and three dogs that always make me laugh. I have a house to come home to each evening and a car that runs dependably.
I don't have much I can bitch about, but I'll always find something that I dislike and have the desire to share with others.
I'm going to try and share more of the positive things in my life and allow all the crap to take a back burner. Who knows, maybe I'll be a happier person if I actually TRY to be.
