my favorite toy from the 80's

I will start by telling a story that got me onto this thing again. Heidi and I were talking about something in the kitchen and max came and asked me to pull the arms off of one of my star wars lego guys. I was a little bugged and said no I don't want those taken apart go put the legs back on it. he then tells me that he as already taken some of the other ones apart. i said put them back together i don't want the parts lost. he then says "I don't know how." at this point i am a bit more bugged and I call out as he walks away "Don't take stuff apart you cant put back together." (not only hypocritical but dumb as every one knows little boys need to take things apart and leave pieces everywhere how else will they learn to do the same with a car later on) well my advise throws me into a flash back of the eighties. I had this toy, well it was THE COOLEST TOY EVER! the milton bradly Big Trak. it was a space like tank with a blue photon laser canon. it had six wheels and you programed in instructions then it would indicate it understood the commands and execute them then indicate it had completed the instructions with the same series of beeps. well mine stopped working and I took it all apart and could not fix it or get it back together. it was probably just batteries but i really wanted to see how it worked. needles to say it never worked again. thinking of it nearly made me cry.
i started to search ebay and the web to find one again and found video of them and the sounds were like this crazy warm fuzzy flash back of everything good that happened as a child.
I am proud to say that 2 from ebay are coming my way and I greatly look forward to photon laser canon fights with max in the kitchen. I have also made a new rule. any american boy should have a big trak for a proper child hood. luckily for all you who wish for a proper upbringing of a son they will be reproducing the big trak and they will be available this summer. they will also be making the big trak jr.

heidi made this for max's baptisim

hallucinations

i have never, that i know of, had a hallucination. however i hope that if i do have one where i am in the shower and in reality i am in a crowded room of people that the hallucination continues until i am home and fully dressed. yikes that would be awkward. especially if you knew the people. it would be better i think to happen at grand central station instead of at a family reunion or the like.

still working on my book

i am nearly 30000 words into this now and have decided on a semi major rewrite. just gotta change some stuff up a bit but shouldn't be too hard. i was thinking when this is done i may do a series on an emo chick who sits in her room by herself all the time but loves this way older stocker type who sneaks into her room to watch her while she sleeps in her undies. he does it in the name of protection and even though his love and friendship could be the end of her life they share an unquenchable lust for one another. even when his friends and associates nearly kill her they can't stay away from each other. she has a really good friend who is lots of fun and likes her a lot but he doesnt watche her in her sleep so its a no go for sure. in the end she throws her life away to become more like him. its a real tear jerker i think everyone will like it.

snaz it up

its time to snaz up this blog. i been meaning to get it done for a while but have not made it happen yet. i need some suggestions on where to find blog dresses that will fit my figure and style. hip, awesome and hot are some of the words i hear from groups of people i walk past so my blog dress needs to fit this criteria as well. so if anyone has a link to such an awesome site that would be sweet. i did a search for ugliest blog on the block and did not find what i was looking for. it really seems like that would be a real site so not sure what the crap is going on.
oh and some household news; i walked in my house today and could smell cat so out they went into the garage. the mother cat was a bit confused. i think she thought that since she had some "cute" kids she was now allowed to live inside. she was mistaken and i kicked her promiscuous little hind end to the garage. we put a small heater out there and built a little tent to hold the heat in so the kittens don't get too cold. i named them fry sauce and pepper but was out voted and they will probably end up with lame names like cuddles and smoochie or some barf crap like that.

moldy blog take over

i have been working on this list of top ten worst ways to die. its a little gruesome and a little funny slash weird. its been an odd exercise of writing. i will soon be finished with it and move on. sorry to anyone who was grossed out by it. it was meant to make you cringe and laugh at the same time.

i recently took up a new hobby. i have been posting on someone else's blog. they have no idea yet. it makes me laugh because i post in the comments and so no one reads it. well i read it and it is funny to me. i was thinking of trying to figure out their password and make real posts but then everyone who is a follower will know about it so i am keeping it my secret... well until now and i told 14 people. its been good times for sure. i like to post the news that is going on in their life that they have forgotten to put up. anyway i may start looking for more moldy blogs to hi jack once they get wind of it.

number 2

this one max came up with on his own. the funny thing, he didn't know I was doing this list, he had not heard anyone talking about this kind of stuff or anything. he just was sitting in the back seat of the car and started talking. its short but sweet.

you are looking at the sun for a long time and go blind then you are cutting down a tree with a chainsaw and slip and cut your stomach and all your guts come out. the end
