The first farm where I worked and lived was a quaint stancion system with just a small central dumping station where you had to walk the 70lb, filled to the brim with warm frothy milk, jugs, two at a time, to the station then dump the milk and walk back to your next two cows while the milk was pumped into the cooling tank outside. I was in college and had a public speaking class that the professor, a squat women with glasses so thick you could see the sides of the room slice through her cheek bones, taught with very set ideas of what should be said. Every class started with a speech that you had to judge for part of your grade. If you were late you couldn't enter thus losing some grade points. One rainy cold morning as I was wrapping my towel around myself to exit the shower I hear my barn mate yell so I run to get into my barn clothes, overalls and a long sleeve shirt. After getting my boots I run outside to help her pull two claves from a very tired mother. I'm soaked, splattered with afterbirth and shit and just going to make class. I dash across the campus to the business building and start upstairs to class when I see an amazing change. Usually when I walked these stairs my nose twitched in rejection of all the cologne and products the young professionals need to use as part of their uniform. Today me in mine made their noses twitch. I just get into class and am sitting for a moment when a woman reacts and says..."who let the horse in here". I sheepishly explained it was me; to which the student body all got up and moved to the far side of the room next to the newly opened window. I got all my grade points that day...and then some. It was then that I realized I had missed an opportunity earlier in the semester by not bringing in a large cardboard cow, gloves and lubricant to explain artificial insemination as my Demonstration Speech.
Presently, while I enjoy the possibility and hope that others read my words and comment about what they like and don't; I'm reaching my goal just typing them. Time is limited and as with everything you need practice to get better. As for being a friend of yours woman...hmmm you might want to work on your semantics Please feel free to comment on anything I say as well... if you have something to say... to me. Here you'll read where my fiction and fact meet imagination ( I sincerely hope). When I grow up I'd like to be a wordsmith. Glad my daughter brightened your day she does the same for us. Very nice of you to say as much. I hope you are doing well, you are in my prayers.
Why voided, I didn't know you cared... Or that you were as prolific as you are. A stark difference from someone I was getting to know elsewhere. That's cool though. I enjoy this side of your rap and it reminds me that we are all multi-faceted. I'd like to tell you both I am impressed and intrigued with the progression of "The Never Ending" story. Now Mike has to kill his brother? Wow, what a twist! I don't know if I made it clear or provided the allusion clearly enough, but the story is taking place in the 70's. I have been following along closely and I suppose it is my turn again soon. I hope some others will participate also. Anyhow, no time today, I did want to pop in and say high though. Peace and Power to the People!
Ya know trystn, I've been reading some of your posts and while I don't know you, you seem a bit of a horse's ass. Now we here all enjoy the smell of good healthy horse manure.... but if you're just realizing that folks here are multi-faceted and conversations vary from thread to thread, then you're not very well read. Try Steinbeck, a personal favorite of mine as well. Just a suggestion. (Oh and it makes no difference but the ñ is made on a PC by holding the alt key down while typing 0241 then releasing the alt key- but mana or goddess or hey stupid are all good too)
Are they a member here? Haven't seen any posts by steinbeck but I'll have a look. Gee thanks, you've got me pegged. Nice reply from someone who I just complimented. Hey dipshit, did you read my post? "it reminds me that we are all multi-faceted." which means... (God I don't believe I'm having to spell this out for you! What grade did you say you were in?) In this case I implied that the knowledge I already had was reafirmed or supported by additional information. Happy freakin holidays mana. I hope santa brings you some brains!
Well I can seem a bit of a horse's ass too. Have to admit to knowing the taste of my own foot. It was just that your comment to someone talking to me came off as a tad condescending- my bad for responding in kind. No hard feelings I hope, none here. I will have a happy freakin' holiday. I hope you do as well, really. BTW your story thread was a great idea. That was fun.
"The world is a vampire..." Sometimes we are the victim and other times the predator. BTW how do you two like the illustrations I've added to the story?
Don't take things so seriously bro'! Get the chip off your shoulder. Stop looking for what you think is wrong with everybody else. You'll be a happier more contented individual.
