Whew!

Sorry I have been in a editing frenzy as I prepare my book for submission.. Before I know it.. a week or two has gone.. I'm never short for words anyone who knows that of me DEFINITELY!!

So I find myself on the road and see someone with what look like 'bulls' testicles on their truck hitch. Pretty riduculous if you ask me.. I guess he's trying to say he's 'got balls!!'.. or "My truck's got BALLS MAN!!" Yech.. they're kinda silver-ized.. but don't even look remotely like I would picture a 'trucks testicles' if'n ya ask me.

And on that note, seeing the balls on that truck it occurred to me that balls and guts pretty much mean the same thing. You know if you got 'guts'.. you got 'balls'.. But, at some point they diverge into their own meanings. Like you can have a GUT feeling about something but..

"Y'know what? I'm gonna TAKE that job.. I can FEEL IT IN MY BALLS.. My BALLS ARE TELLING ME.. I should take job.. I got a serious feeling.. DEEP.. DEEP inside my balls.."
(And I'd be like) "NO.. you should probably have that looked at.. You better get a specialist check it out.. at LEAST see a doctor.."

Now that I'm paying for cable.. I may not and just give it up! At least not excited paying for tv and I just can catchy news on the internet.. I do watch Teletoon retro on the rare occasion I do watch tv. And I found Alvin and the Chipmunks.. YEESH! NO WONDER that cartoon never lasted long!! It's like.. your BRAIN gets exhausted listening to the high pitched squeeky voices.. Wow.. you can't (NO --SHOULDN'T) go back.. and some shows died for a REASON..

I remember when I was younger and the saying "I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole".. started going around. And I liked it.. seemed fitting even funny. But y'know.. when you think about it.. and you REVERSE that.. it's pretty much the same thing.

*me* "Oh you WOULD touch that with a 10 foot pole.."
"Yeah I WOULD.. I'd TOUCH THAT.. I'd TOTALLY TOUCH that.. with a 10 foot pole.."
*me* "But.. once the 10 foot pole's involved.. it's pretty much the same scenario.. as NOT touching it.. with a 10 foot pole.."
"Well I mean.. if I.. with a 10 foot pole.. in as much it's involved.. I'd be like.. poking it.. and moving it.. just as.."
*me* "But it's just not the same.."
"Well.. with that pole.. I mean I.. just.. well the pole is TOUCHING it.. and I'm touching the pole.."
*me* **shrugs at the inanity**

"I'd like this young man to have a lesson in civic responsibility do you have any objection to that Mr. Rohr? The jury system was originated Mister Easter because for THOUSANDS of years before that.. an individual judge had the POWER to HANG.. FOR EXAMPLE.. ANY YOUNG MAN.. HE SIMPLY.. DID NOT LIKE!"
