Trucking can be like a bad marriage...

Anyways...back to my regular writing...

Earlier I was searchingg an image...and ran across this blog...

Has some real interesting news items on here that may be of interest to some...
Including was Osama Bin Laden 'deceased' before our government got to him?

http://weblog.timoregan.com/

This person is a very good indepth writer...more of a news investigator type blog...
But I found a few of the posted topics very interesting...complete with visuals...

Like one showing the underground bunkers in Afganistan, and how extensive some of these were...

Anyways...just thought I'd pass that along...

Time just keeps moving right along...



Weeks are almost going by like days now...

I'm just quit content sitting around actually...
I know I can't do that forever...but I'm quit content doing so now...

You get to a point in your life sometimes, when you just want to be...

I've seen the big picture...I know how competitive things are out there...

I know how hard it is to rise up anywhere if your not 'connected'....
Just look at how things are on here...people have to like you, otherwise you haven't a chance at anything out there unless you start your own enterprise...

I know human nature quite well by now...and really just don't feel like wrestling with it anymore...

I'd be content living out the rest of my life in a cabin by the lake...(isn't that everyones dream though)



And there's already plenty of people already living that dream...and while they're
still young, and can enjoy it...not some 'On Golden Pond' hoodag...

But you know, with me, my cabin by the lake would probably turn into this...



Ok, this is more like me luck right here...
I move, get cabin by the lake, and the woods are habited by like
20 of those Frankenstein guys relatives who are just like him..

You know, the one that keeps crossing my path...

So who am I kidding.......AFLAK!!

Oh well, ya gotta keep telling yourself that better things are possible or you'll loose hope...

Urban Meyers just got a like $5 million dollar a year contract to coach Ohio state...

His kids will never have to dream of such things...if they want a cabin...they just go get it....

But one thing about Urban Meyers, his wealth or income is performance based...in other words he didn't start of as a coach earning those figures...and he's not shamming anyone...it's simply his pay check from a University...there's no scam there...

But I'm still jelious....$5 million a year?...why can't I make that?....:smt022

Trying to compete against people who make such large incomes, and make more in one month, than I'll earn in 5 years...can just be disheartning at times...and make ya want to sit down and just be content with nothing...like animals are....

I'll never be worth that type of monero...
And haven't enough years left on this earth to do so...or even the 'drive' right now...

So I try to live for other things right now...small things...
That way I don't go insane thinking about all the things I won't ever be able to get...

But it's not really 'things' I want...it's 'enviornment' that myself, and i think others are really after...

But in todays world, there's even a price tag on 'enviornment'....



Anyways...let me stop before I end up making myself cry...

later...and have a great night....

 

Hello...very uneventful day...

I ran into that Frankestien character again today..



And now they're in my mind...

Oh well...

Not much else going on...good football games today...Tebow and the Broncos won again today...wow, incredible...

he's having more effect on my faith in wanting to believe in God than 100 pastors preaching from the pulpit ever could...

The only reason why I kind of support Tebow, is because he comes off as a innocent underdog...

Anyhow...
Got things to do...hope your day was pleasent...whomever may read this...

I'm late...real late...normally I post in the mornings...

But happy Sunday anyways...



May your dreams come true...and when they do, share them with others...

Added note:

Oh ye, rented two movies...Wrong turn 4 (horror)...and Transformers 3....I'm going to watch Wrong turn 4 first...
As I usually watch like tv shows...5 minutes here...10 minutes there and so forth...I rarely will watch a movie from start to finish anymore...
Just to jittery and have to move around and do other things...

 

Nothing like a restored or well kept cab over...
Took this photo a few months ago...believe I spoke with the owner...not sure...
But I remember them as being an older, happy, slim, content man...
And the truck reflects that...

Simple time, simple era, simple truck...and that's why it has so much appeal...
Love the nice small cozey sleeper...
Which means he's probably not gone away from the home all that long...but there for the occasional nap or lay over...

Back when I was into trucking, I would of loved to have owned a truck like this...it just represents simplicity...and when you keep things simple, your happier...

Anyways good day....
This is a trucking site after all...so every now and then I like to give the thread a truck feel...

Currently I'm not out there...so i don't get to take all the cool up close pictures of trucks right now...

I remember how bold and curious I'd be...just walking up to owners or drivers of cool looking trucks and snapping away...as if their truck was a model...
That was just me though...The way I am on here...I was that way out there...

I didn't want to fall into that anti social pit...which is easy to do out there...so I always made it a point to say 'hi' to someone at least once a day...and to try to engage in at least one upon extended conversation...

It made you feel better afterwards...

And funny thing is, some of the drivers, expecially the older ones...they would act kind of prude at first, but once you got them to talking...it was like a flood of stories and conversation would pour out of them...

Cause even though they might appear hard as Kerosene on the outside, on the inside they're human...and too, needed a kind nuetral voice to talk to...

A lot of the older drivers want, or wanted to be complimented on their equiptment, wanted the acknowledgement that came from years of hard work, and knowledge they had accumilated...and I gave it to them when I could...

But even as I sit here and write about it...I still have no desire to return to that OTR enviornment...
I prefer to just remaniss right here from the couch....

 

Ok, one more...
I spoke with this owner too...very nice older gentleman...
He actually encouraged me to take 'as many photos as you want'...
Real nice guy...

I notice, for some reason, owners of older restored cab overs seem to be real friendly...and maybe cause they're 'doing it their way'...

I mean think about it...their older, still driving, and doing it in nice restored trucks, cab overs at that...
So as such, I think they're in 'their spot'...they have found that balance between work and joy...

It would be nice to achieve that balance at age 25...to be in that spot...and many are I suppose...

But usually when ones 25, that's when their busy getting the run around from the boheemiths of the industry...

The owners of these two cab overs seemed to be driving at their pace...and did not appear stressed at all...

I wish them both well, and now their hard work, and nice trucks, are monuements or inspiration to future drivers...

 

There's something about the earth loving, human loving, auto bots, that i just don't like....

There sentiment, and love for earth, and their human masters, that just seems disingenious to me...

I couldn't even finish watching Transformers 3 last night...cause it all seemed like a lie...did not follow the true path of survival....

I could never ever understand why Otamis Prime, always puts 'humans' above his own kind...

To me, the Decepticons really aren't as bad as they've been portrayed...




To me, all Mega tron is trying to do is look out for the survival of his robot family...
He is the true leader to me...
And Optimis Prime is the sell out....

Optimis prime seems to have convinced his dopey auto bot followers that some how humans are worth fighting for,worth killing off others of their kind for...why?

Optimis Prime can see the 'evil motives' in his fello Transformers, but seems to over look the 'evil motives' and atracoties commited by man, on each other...

Optimis prime seems to conviently over look the trans continental slave trade, and the inhumane treatment that followed...

Optimis prime seems to over look Europe, and how they came to the Americas, and for their interest, wiped out, destroyed the civilizations that were already here....but yet condemns Mega tran for wanting to do the same to insure the survival of his fellow robots...

(Also over looks genicide in Africa tribe against tribe, middle east termoil, corruption and greed...Prime seems to excuse all that when it comes to man)

Optimis Prime is a sell out...Mega tran, to me, is the true warrior, the one looking out for his own...

Prime must be on drugs or something...too willingly submit to man?

It would be like me willingly submitting to ants or rodents, and some how seeing 'redemtive qualities' in them...

Every word that comes out of Primes mouth seems like a lie to me....

And I recognize totally whats going on with that movie, that series...and the propaganda behind it...the self grandizing...the 'we are gods' theme...

Telling yourself, even through fictional robot characters, how 'great' you are....

You don't get it but I do...

I don't expect anyone else to understand...
But for those who do, that film wreaks of self grandizing, and self worship projected through fictional characters...

Sorry, but Mega tran is not the bad guy here...he's a surviver...and helps his own survive...

Optimas Prime is nothing more than a self loathing puppet...

Can you make the connection between this series and real life?

 

I mean come on...in real life you don't see soldiers in Afganistan fighting battles with their hot French model girlfriends by their side the whole time...

After a while the movie begin feeling more like a commercial for Vogue magazine...

Every single scene, they had to show her face, inject her into every single action scene...and not so much as a scratch...how phony and fake...



This movie wreaks of it...so many commercial sub plots to this film...

There's a time and place for everything...and the time for that model to promote herself, wasn't in the middle of a action film...surviving unsermountable odds, with glass and metal and explosions everywhere...but face and make-up remaining perfect...

I get so sick of these romantic sub plots...

Why does every super hero need a lover?
Why must they always inject a romantic sub plot in every movie under the sun?
This idea that men, not even super heroes, can't do without women...
They force feed that crp down your throat in every single movie...
No wonder some have such a complex, attitude...

if they wanted to make a movie about this model, that was in every scene, even while jumping out of windows that no human could survive...than just give her her own movie or show...

This female model survived more than even well trained Marines do, all while hair still in place, and not so much as a scratch...

What kind of propaganda is this...?

 

Ok, had to step out for a minute...

I have no idea what those stacks are for...i can only guess at it until I find out true purpose...

A few guesses

1. Old stacks left in place for 'nastalgic purposes', after truck was remodeled and updated??....


Ok, i confess...that's not a truck your looking at...it's a Auto bot...

And those stacks are radars....don't tell no one...
