reporting the news

is that all there is to thereal, reporting the news?... seems logical, after all, cuz the long sought after, though kinda ambivalently, or is this nonchalantly, pursued goal of a brief synopsis of life blog (journal, diary, whatever) is kept brief and about life by simply reporting what happens and not contemplating navels or blogs, even, as i am doing here... oh, yeah...

so i took the car into midas and they wanted a ton of money to do a ton of different things which shocked me because they never did that before, so i said no to about everything and said yes to about $300 cuz they said it was definitely necessary and i am going to take the car into another brake place or few (if i ever make time) to find out if they were legit and i will not go back after almost a decade of using them for several cars... whether i was or not, i feel ripped off, so i will not return...

then at work, where i didn't arrive until near noon cuz i left my keys home and while picking them up, i got a new gate opener remote from the office staff who still strike me as floundering more than competent, the boss sent out the email announcing my promotion, and though it was selective and not a memo to the entire facility, it was a huge step toward relinquishing the grip and allowing me to step into the actual responsibilities and flow of the position... apparently he is being pressured and mandated by corporate to make some other changes as well...

after work, then i drove to lake nona (about 13 miles) to meet my monday softball team and one person arrived about five minutes late and two more arrive about forty five minutes late and by then i was ready to head home, so two hours of travel, standing around, and a gallon of gas, and so much for a dedicated monday night team... the season was supposed to start last night, but it's delayed due to the rainouts over the summer... still, the people who signed up should have been ready to play last night...

a brief surprise phone call, a dinner of hemp cereal with fruits and nuts and some off zen party mix, and to sleep before 9pm, which means i am awake for the day, right?... so why did the question queue up a yawn?... a bit of the bloat (which is very odd, considering the dinner almost twelve hours ago was grains and fruits and nuts and rice milk, one bowl) and head stuffiness, perhaps... the one person who showed up at softball almost on time had a bad head cold and shook hands a lot...

tonight the calendar says sushi and vertigo... i might skip the sushi and just do the movie... i think i already bought tickets, but i'm not positive, so i'll try to remember to call the theatre later to check... and that is the past twenty four hours, mostly, reported in three part harmony over digital airwaves... it does get more exciting than this, folks, and hopefully will one of these days... someday... la la la, yes, someday... over the rainbow... complacency sings...
