WEEEEEE I love power tools

So my job requires power tools. I help manage an apartment complex and on many occasions I need a hammer, hack saw or drill. To be more specific a DeWALT 9v, 15 torque drill, arr Arr ARRR I can’t tell you how liberating it is to have a “man’s” job. It wasn’t me that thought this job was made for a man. It seems to be the WWII generation (that would be the boomers parents, right?) It’s liberating for two reasons; one the look on the old timers face when you’ve fixed something using your DeWALT 9v, 15 torque drill, AND two (this is HUGE) pulling your DeWALT 9v, 15 torque drill out of a BEAUTIFUL PINK leather tool belt your husband bought you for Valentine’s Day. Life is good!

I never used to be this way…

I used to just get pissed, then drink, get depressed, then finally not care, but now. Look out, I get pissed then funnel that into a more constructive emotion, compassion. Well a PASSION for compassion would be more accurate. I’ve been told to “calm down” or “don’t get so emotional”…I feel my emotion is making up for the apathy I sense. If I get excited peeps might question why they aren’t excited. It can be contagious.

My first post

So here I am, and with some interesting questions/thoughts about posting. Does one post after visiting, commenting, researching, and checking ones email or after. I naturally check my email, then read the news. One usually pisses me off enough to want to vent (blog) OR question peoples sanity (blog). However, it may be fruitful to try the opposite…Come to blog before my mind is f*cked by this world. Like questioning/commenting (bloging) from an untainted, not yet bitter perspective. Here’s an example: I used to have Alternet.org as my home page, but waking up to news of the world really got me down. NOW I have my email as the first thing I see. It’s helped but lately it’s been full of downers too. So I’ll try Lifehacker as my home page OR go right into this here posting gig? We shall experiment…YES you like, yes?
