    Unlike Bigfoot...Goodbuddies are not a myth...and still do roam or lurk in unihabited truck only 'Parking areas'....

    I spotted one today...and unlike most who have encounters with bigfoot...my camera indeed did work, and had film...or battery power...

    One may ask...'What is the difference between a goodbuddy and a normal gay person'?

    Answer: Habitat and diet...

    Like a Tiger and a Cougar...their both cats...but have different appetite, ranges and habits...

    Good buddies feast or dine explicedly on commercial truck drivers...:biggrin_25524:
    In addition to that...they tend to habitate remote far off places...usually the country side areas...

    Their highly specialized diet in truck drivers make them expecially suited for the rough and tumble terrain often found at abandoned rest areas...with no facilities...
    Once there, they wait and wait and wait for their catch...
    They display the patients of a sports fisherman...

    [​IMG]

    And they prefer big game...truck drivers...

    Why or how they, good buddies, developed this specialized appetite, one can only speculate about...maybe they are former drivers, or always wanted to be one?

    Many are married, and live 'normal' lives when not baiting truck drivers...

    Anyways...I spotted one today, doing their thing...trying to real in a guy in a Pete...they were like batting eyes at each other or something...and then when I drove by, he looked at me...and me being the ghostchildd...I took his picture...D'oh....

    I doubt I was his type anyways...cause they prefer the rough and tumble type...like Laron Greene from Bonanza...uh uh...no way...just can't see it...

    Anyone who has trucked for some time, has had a run in with one...just ask a driver next time you get the chance...not that they really want to share stuff like that...

    But 90% of all OTD have been the focus of affection of a goodbuddy at least once in their driving career...and that one you can take to the bank...

    Tornadoe enviornment...oh boy...

    On a side note...I accidently duped a guy into buying me coffee this morning...

    I hope I don't become a storm chaser...

    Ok, today seems real long...real real long...not doing as good distance and time wise...

    Second...I feel a bit empty right now...yes me...but I embrace however I'm feeling...and turn it into thought...

    And 3rd...no one on here likes me...:cry::cry:

    [​IMG]

    My contemporaries just don't like me...
    And this is probably why...

    http://underworldrealities.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=134171805

    Cause in their minds, I probably make a mockery out of what they do...totally destroy the image of the Marbolo man truck driver type...

    And instead have turned it into a Culture Club, Boy George fiasco...

    [​IMG]

    Well I'm no Boy George...but they think I am...ok, me and him come from the same planet...
    But that's where the simularities stop...I think...

    Ok, we both have flair, want to stand out, and be different...what's wrong with that?...:smt102

    I mean I do my job, and do it well...I don't rob banks, I'm honest...love animals...intelligent, well traveled and versed...very respectful in public on and on and on...but yet I've been turned into some kind of anti-villian type on here...to be avoided at all costs....:evil1:

    Most of the time I don't care...but sometimes on an evening like this, it would be nice to have someone to chat with...to share driving experiences of the day...

    ye sure I can go out and make conversation with strangers...but after all the effort, countless informative threads I've started on here...you'd think things would be different...

    Boy someone has sure started a mis-information campaign on or about me...now that's what I call underhanded and evil...
    Evil always works in the background and shadow...evil is never forthcoming, cause it knows it will be exposed for the self-centered, self serving spirit it is...

    So instead it works in the shadows telling lies and whispering...

    Oh well...there's nothing I can do about it except to go on as I always do...
    I rebound quick...and in 10 minutes I'll feel better and it will be as though I were never here in this spot emotionally...

    But one thing that keeps me real, and why I have so many invisible readers...on here and elsewhere...is cause they since I'm 'sincere'...whatever else I may be to people and or them, the one thing I've always been is sincere...

    Anyways...a little more pouting to do....:sad7:... and I'll be as good as new...later...


    Now it's time to go eat....all by my weird but nice, kind, lovely self...later...

    Well, goodnight...I'm out here in the desert, alone...I mean it's like SW Texas Chainsaw Massequer type enviornment...

    [​IMG]

    I mean it's bad enough I'm parked next to...well...I'd better not say...cause it's kind of scary...

    I just hope the place I park next to, that the people there don't have a taste for such and such...
    I hope their not like those in the movie 'The hills have eyes'...:biggrin_2557:

    Then on top of that large golf ball sized insects kept smashing into my windshield...it was gross...like they were aiming for me head or something...
    And the waitress made me eat my soup out of a tall cup...
    And one waitress wouldn't give me a napkin when I spilled it...

    And now I'm parked next to Leather faces family out in the middle of no where...:biggrin_25513:

    Well, If I don't chime in tomorrow...that means I've been made into soup or beef broth...

    [​IMG]

    Oh well...

    goodnight...

    First I did make it through the night...I did not get gobbled up by cannibles...

    And second, what am I?
    Am I gay, straight, bi? Or just a wayward spirit...a poltergeist of sorts...?

    For if I were truly gay, would not the gay world have embraced me by now?
    Well they haven't...in fact they tend to look at me as suspiciously as those on here?
    Why do you think that is?

    What mold do I fit or don't fit that seems to make people 'hesitant'? Be it they gay or straight? :biggrin_2558:
    In fact if people actually thought I was truly gay...like the kind you see on TV marching for gay rights and all...I'd probably be a lot more accepted...
    Cause being like that puts you in a nice convient slot...and that's what people, humans like...

    They like for things to be in nice convient slots, easy to organize slots...

    [​IMG]

    It's what people measure themselves off of...someone believing they are who they are, depends on me, you, fitting conviently into a little slot, that exists only in their mind, but none the less is essential to their (conditioned) understanding of 'self'...

    For instance...women need me to be rough, tough, and hairy...so that they can feel or convince themselves that they're soft, delicate and smooth...

    Or we can take it to a social level...for instance...whites need blacks to be 'goonish brutes' so that they, as a whole, can feel like 'refined angels' brought here to teach the world a lesson...

    And blacks need whites to be 'racist devils' so that they can feel justified in personal short comings....

    I could go on and on in these 'relationships'...but time is limited...I could take it world wide...for it is the condition of man that makes us like this...not location...

    Sorry, I have to cut this short...I gotta role and make some time...back soon...
    And it was getting good...

    I kind of hate to say this...but if you want to have fun in Vegas or Reno...stay as far away from Truck stops and truckers as you can...

    nough said...

    You have to put yourself around people 'energy' that have a whole different outlook on life...

    Because most drivers don't know how to 'relax' and 'let loose'...

    The old school kind did...but the new types don't...
    By nature, many of todays drivers are wound up and very uptight...nervious, and hesitant to try new things...

    Oh, and forgot to mention 'paranoid' of strangers...and new places they go.

    That reserved, cautious spirit, will really bring you down in a place like Vegas...

    Where as other people or tourist, come here to 'party' to have a good time, and to mix it up with 'strangers'...you know...the whole 'What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas' thing...

    Every now and then you might, by accident, find a driver who has a free willy type of spirit...but it's rare now days...
    Where most are over stressed about their log book, or finding a place to park for the night...

    This industry, will turn you into a no thrills stiff, now days, if you let it...
