    Ok, I made it through the night...but I feel like I've been hmped...not that I ever have before...

    I feel like I got hmped by Vegas...a bad lover who kicks you out of bed when your done...and no emotional reciprication at all....just like...
    'Get out, I'm done with you now'...
    And your kicked out the door half dressed and barefoot, with reporters snapping photos of you as you leave the house...

    [​IMG]

    'Hey Ghostchildd, how'd it feel to get hmped by a bad lover last night (Vegas) ?

    'Where are your shoes? And why do you have n/p on your feet?
    'huh huh huh...enquiring minds want to know'...

    [​IMG]

    '
    Go away...leave me alone...umm...last night didn't happen'....


    That's kind of how I feel right now...only the reporter is my own 'conscious'...

    Why I put myself out there like that, I will never understand...it's an impulse I wish would sometimes go away, or find a healthier outlet...

    It's like I 'prostitute' myself...

    [​IMG]

    Why and for what I do not know...to be brave?

    Or do I do it for the adrenaline rush?

    Do I like the feeling of being 'nervious', scared and uptight??

    It's like I often use myself as an experiment...just to see how certains situations will make me feel...

    And then it's like I observe and note...and learn from it...and is one reason why my thoughts are so broad...cause to me you can't really comment on something without first experiencing it, the emotions, the fall back...I mean one can, but the comment won't have much depth behind it...

    Sometimes you have to dive into it, to know what it's like...

    And then down the road, your better able to help other people over come...
    Cause when they hear you, they'll know you've been there, to that 'spot'...

    Or maybe I'm just trying to put a 'noble' spin to my zanyness...oh well...

    I over analize everything...I mean like to the extreme at times...

    back soon...

    Hello...for some reason I'm in a somber mood...a nice kind mood...

    I've gone into other forum, and deleted a few older posts, where I was venting...
    It's nice having the ability to be able to go back and do that...

    Moods and frustrations don't last forever...and it's nice to be able to go back and delete a moment in time...and start fresh from the future...

    Long pause.....

    Ok I'm back...I think I'll go get a nice brand new pair of shoes...why not...

    Nikes...yes...nice new shoes on de' feet make ya feel 'springy'...and 'bouncy'...like a rabbit...

    [​IMG]

    Ye I know I know...some of you are probably thinking I should get shoes like these instead...

    [​IMG]

    Nah...fun to look at, but very impracticle to wear...

    And contrary to what some think...I'm not a CD...I simply like to enhance features god already gave me...I don't have to become a woman to do that...

    And I only do it through online imagery...or photos...in real life I walk around looking like any other male figure...just more tuned up and refined...(jab)

    Anyhow...let me go find a store...I want me shoes, and I want them now...

    Hot hot hot...

    Demographically the same thing is occuring in Vegas as is in Southern New Mexico and Arizona...latinos are filling in the small service orientated jobs...like cashiers, fast food ect ect...whilte the men are into more labor intense entry jobs...yard service ect ect...constroction...

    Latinos have shown they are not afraid to work...whether in the fields...usually South of the Border Indians do that...or working gritty department store type positions...they seem to do it all...and by doing so establish a financial and economic base...

    Blacks really seem to be rare out amongst these parts...and either they're super well off...rich, or college educated...or slum....two extremes...

    Most blacks...people of African decent from the original North American slave trade, are migrating back to the South in large numbers...this trend has been occuring for at least a decade or more...and you can see the effects when you get out to places like this...
    The hole is being filled by latinos...obviously...but also your beggining to see more Asians moving into jobs like trucking and other labor employment.

    Also...there's a large influx of Russians...or old Soviet Union block immigrants as well...driving trucks and doing just about everything else...

    They, the Russians, tend to blend in better than other immigrants who are 'brown'...
    But all immigrants whether Russian or Latino or Asian or even African or Middle Eastern, all feel they are better than 'blacks'...meaning those of African decent who's ancestry can be traced to original slave trade of North America...

    They, immagrants, can be here for a week, and already feel 'superior' to citizens of this nation who are black...

    This is both learned behavior and human nature...the whole pecking order thing...

    The only time immigrants, like the gay community, unites with 'blacks' is when something major goes down...like some civil rights violation...

    Then that particular immigrant group suddenly feels united with the struggles of 'blacks'...kind of like how the gay community uses the civil rights of blacks to validate their own 'issues' or 'causes'...

    But once issue is resolved, blacks go back to being on the bottom of their pecking order...not so much African or middle eastern blacks...but primarily home grown ones...who have gotten a bad rap around the world through media and well 'racist' who live here, and who have transplanted a lot of that 60's mentality over seas for decades...

    Anyhow...I'm done with this portion...now I'll write about the shoes I got...

    I did go out and get some new Nike shoes...I didn't even want to mess around with the cheap shoes...

    When I walk, I want to prance...I want to feel young and bouncy and athletic...and good shoes help ya to do that...

    I took some photos I'll up load here in a bit...on the other forum...cause no part of my body is allowed on here...not even my legs, ankles or feet...

    Anyhow I need to do somethings before the sun goes down...
    Vegas is so greedy, it won't even let me win at the doggon penny slots...I feel like Chevy Chase in National Lampoons Vegas Vacation when his character couldn't even win at paper, scissors, rocks...

    Hello everyone...or few...

    I try to keep it interesting on here for ya'zz pleasure and entertainment...

    Here's a photo I forgot I had of Space Shuttle Endeavor, back in May 2011 in Cape Canaveral, FL...

    The shuttle never launched on this day, as winds were to high...
    I really wanted to see the thing blast off...and unfortunatly, there won't be a 'next time'...

    Oh well...
    Very rare photo...for you, my viewers...

    That's a great pic - you have a "knack" for photography. Reminds me of a book a had a while ago; the author graduated college (photo/journalism major), bought a tractor for a few grand, and went OTR taking photographs along the way while verbally describing life on the road...

    It was a pretty cool book - I could definitely picture you writing something along those lines.
