My fortune for Jan. 1st 2006
Those voices you hear make sense.

This fortune surprised me. I have it on my My Way home page. If you never tried it, it is just like all the others except it has no ads on it.
This is the strangest fortune I have ever gotten though. The horoscopes are getting a little strange too, though I can’t really put my finger on how.
I have become a little tired of political Blogging lately I mean some of the stupidities going on right now boggle the mind.
I’m thinking of sticking up the local 7/11. If the police start closing in on me I’ll just give the money back and everything will be forgiven. It seems like that’s the way it works in Washington so why not here?
Well that’s what the voices I hear tell me. They also say I should Blog about other things if I’m sick of politics. I don’t know about that, but the voices say it’s the way to go.
My health is getting a little better every day, but I don’t know if it will get good enough for me to go back to work any time soon. I saw my doctor about a week ago. He asked me how I was doing and I told him I was just waiting for the next thing to go wrong.
He thought that was pretty funny, but I wasn’t joking.
I’ve been spending a lot of time reading Blogs and once in a while even commenting on them. I just haven’t been writing my own much.
My mind seems clearer now that my steroid pills have been reduced to 5 MG. I find I’m reading books again and that’s good. I’ve always been a big reader and just couldn’t keep my concentration long enough to enjoy a good book. My daughter got me Dean Koontz’s new book Forever Odd. I enjoyed it a lot. He is one of the few authors I will buy the hardcover book the day it comes out without even reading the dust jacket to see what it’s about. I have read One Door Away From Heaven and Odd Thomas again now and am starting By The Light Of The Moon now. After I finish that I can’t decide weather to keep re-reading his books (I have all of them.) or move on to Tom Clancy or Stephen King or maybe all the Harry Potter books.
I must be getting bored more than I realized though not working, I started painting a landscape in Oils the other day. So far I’m not completely happy with it, but I haven’t lifted a brush in 20 years so I have to relearn things and get my eye back.
That’s my biggest trouble with painting and writing, I am never happy with my results though others seem to like what I do. If I let anyone see it. I won’t even paint if there is anyone around to watch. I guess I’m to self conscience about it.
My shyness comes and goes but it has been really bad lately, it causes me to not respond to Emails and trying to work up the nerve to enter a chat room and interact with people is almost impossible. But like I say it comes and goes. I’ve just been pushed to wanting to become a hermit by all the hospital and medical stuff I have had to endure the past few months. Too many people seeing and touching too much of me.
Well, I guess I have rambled enough to bore people to tears. It’s almost bed time and The Maltese Falcon is almost over. I love old movies and have a bunch on disk. Tonight it’s been a strange mix. The Hitch Hikers guide to the Universe followed by The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon. Night all!
