<br />
i gave chase, i don't know why, it must be instinctive...<br />

<br />
but he is a puppy and it is winter so there are all kinds of things to do that do not involve writing and blogging.<br />
<br />
btw he just turned 3!<br />
that is like 21 in dog years<br />
<br />
and like 36 in marriage years...<br />
<br />
you know,<br />
<br />
marriage years: the number of years, AFTER year one, cuz everyone is happy for the first year, you feel you have aged for every year you are married.<br />
<br />
I have been devoting my blogging brain to <a href="http://dreamodelingguy.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">My business blog</a>...<br />
<br />
Which is not, contrary to popular belief, <a href="http://thesimpledude.com/2013/02/keep-your-yams-to-yourself/" target="_blank">Yams</a> (and a very special shout out to <a href="http://thesimpledude.com/" target="_blank">the simple dude</a>.<br />
if you don't read the simple dude, you are missing one of the best blogs in the blog-o-world...)<br />
<br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today July 3, 2012 at 11:00 am EST, I have turned off my cell phone...I will turn it back on when I have some time to kill. When I am bored. Or need to call 911.

<b><i>Phoncation</i></b>... <span style="background-color: white;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Turning off or powering down your cell phone for more than a re-boot.

<b style="font-style: italic;">Phonication... </b><i>Duh...AKA sexting...AKA phone sex.</i></div><div><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mebbe my phone is the boss of me...But I do not <b>have to let it!</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>anywhat...</i></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">tUcKeR and I have been busy lately. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Busy doing stuff...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dog stuff, you know...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">sniffin', sleepin', chewin', and playin'...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">and we are getting ready for a trip to go fishin', so the boat needs to be done up just right. We leave in less than two weeks. I know, it sucks to be us... </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">If I figure out the <i><b>fecesbook</b></i> on my <b><i>stupidphone</i></b>, with all its <i><b>stupidtechnogeekybullshit,</b></i> we may post a few random atrocities and fishin' <strike>lies</strike><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>stories and pics...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Or we may not...who knows? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I would not count on it...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">My phone is not the boss of me...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>Independence Day!</i></b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">It </span>has<span style="font-family: inherit;"> been hot. we are living like shut-ins...We did have a small foray into the world the other day. Turns out the Chase Bank Branch near my house is Dog -friendly! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And you know who is a fan fav?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://bruceejohnsonjadip.blogspot.com/2010/03/hey-arent-you.html" target="_blank">not just me</a> <strike>and my ugly shirts... </strike></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">They even sent us a card...(actually 2, but who is counting...)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">That really makes us feel good...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">You know what <b><i>does not </i></b>make us feel good? Aside from hot sticky </span>weather<span style="font-family: inherit;">? </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Losing the <b><i>phonefaceoff to text convos..</i></b>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">The following story is </span><strike>Mebbe...</strike><span style="font-family: inherit;"> true...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Every story has basis in fact...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I like to drink. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">A lot. <strike>This is true. No bullshit!</strike></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I have my watering holes, and they are few but good. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just like fishin' holes. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">A sweet spot, where the world makes sense. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">These are facts. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">True life things.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes, I go out for beers. It is a damn good thing. Drinking with a buddy. Talking the shit that we always do. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Many subjects...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of them are <i><b>bunches of bullshit</b></i>, like winning the lotto...But the conversation is <b>real. </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is no auto complete, or auto correct. I do not have to pay to be at the top of the list. I am not being Googled/Binged/spammed/phished nor am i being deadheaded/cyberstalked/dinked/dorked/diddled or fucked. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I just am.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">(Get this. <b><i>Googled</i></b> is not in the Google Chrome dictionary. I would think by default these self-important assclowns would have WRITTEN that phrase in the <i><b>Google-html-or-what-the-fuck-ever-code...</b></i>)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">digression...sorry...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although with some people, that you have known for eternity, the completion of a sentence happens occasionally. Cuz the internet, <b>people</b>, mimics the <b>real world</b>. Not the other way around. It may be that the internet was created by humans, but it is <b>not human</b>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">We are NOT God. Virtually or otherwise...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">As we speak the conversation ebbs and flows. It gives and takes. It is real. Two humans talking to each other.<strike><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span>(sometimes it is me talking to myself, as well, but we will not go there now. the voices are quiet now. it is good)</strike></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just as it used to be. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">You know, waaaaaaay back when cell minutes were ridiculously priced and only the <i><b>Wall Street YUPPIES and Look-at-me-er's</b> </i>carried giant<i> <b>cell phones</b></i> that could not even take a <i><b>3 meg-pixel </b></i>picture of your junk, let alone send it </span><strike>to every tom, dick, or harry</strike> <span style="font-family: inherit;">via text or email. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">When twitter was the goofy flight of a drunken bird or some such similar non-sense...Way back when if you wanted to see your wife's/GF's titties, you had do your best <i><b>Greg Brady</b></i>. You had to make a move.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">These people with bag phones, these <b><i>douchbaglookatme-er's</i></b> also had pagers. And were tied virtually to the machine, the office, the man, or whatever god-money they we beholden to... </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I laughed at them. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Yes, I was younger then... I had less experience. The world was different.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I had not tasted the</span><b style="font-family: inherit;"><i> sickly-sweet cell smartacity...</i></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The world was free. You and I, back then, we were beholden to no one. Able to disappear to the lake or golf course with impunity. We did not carry our mini- computers everywhere. We could </span>disappear<span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I did </span>disappear<span style="font-family: inherit;"> for days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">jus' sayin'</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">We did not get a text from some <b><i>transposing twittering twinkie</i></b> at three am asking us:</span></div><div><i><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></b></i></div><div><i><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">*wehre ther fukc u at?*</span></b></i></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">And you know what?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">We did not die. We did not become so lonely and forsaken that we killed ourselves. Or others. We survived. Adapted. Improvised. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">More so, We flourished. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">We wrote letters! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">We talked. To each other. Face-to-face. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I looked forward to seeing you! You looked forward to seeing me! It was anticipated.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back to the story...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We are talking. Bantering back and forth. The usual.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">The phone on the table vibrates.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">beckoning.</span></div><div><b><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">a siren song.</span></i></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">it.</span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">cannot.</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">be. </span></div><div><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">ignored...</span></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">i am speaking.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is prolly just a bunch of bullshit, but it is face to face...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">He looks at his phone. She has texted him, in the middle of a conversation...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">He picks it up and then texts back...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>phonefaceoff loss...</i></b></span><br />

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Then he looks at me, distracted and says, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"What were you saying?" </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">No sorry.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">No explanation.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><b><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">fuck me freddy...</span></i></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is not just one person that does this to me. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is several people. I know <b><i>so many people that let the phone rule the reality of everyday life.</i></b> We see it everywhere. It is not just distracted driving, it is distracted living. If you can call living like this living... </span><br />
<br />
Is it really?</div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I know there are those that will argue it is better this way. I am not calling for being nuked to the stone-age. I am not calling for a phone burning. Cellphones are not the devil, bobby-bouche... they are not evil, or </span>witchery. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">We are losing it people. We are in touch but not touching. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Back to the story. In this case, it is about sex.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div>On numerous occasions <span style="font-family: inherit;">I have said, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">"Dude? Really? I am right here..."</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">My voice lost among the <b><i>cacophony of cell waves...</i></b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>Undulating, underlying vibrations set to some</i></b> </span><b style="font-family: inherit;"><i>distant dance beat drums of the new reality... </i></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>she. is. his. everything</b>. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">love is like that...</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">sex is even more like that...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />

</span></div><div><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">*funny how sex changes things. not just for the participants, but the world at large. the things people do for sex...virtually and reality sex is becoming dangerously intertwined as one.* </span></i></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>A cornucopia of copulation set to a symphony of cell-phones...</b></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I look over and his phone vibrates again. This time he tries to ignore it, but to no avail.</span></div><div><b><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></i></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i>Independence Day!</i></b> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I no longer have my phone ringer on when I am with another human. If I have it with me, I set it face down on the table, cuz the lights and vibration distract me from the real person in front of me. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Often , I leave it in the other room. Alone. ON PURPOSE! I go to the store without it! I do not miss it! And it does not miss me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
Cuz<span style="font-family: inherit;"> it is not HUMAN! It is a <b><i>fuckingphone!</i></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I do not answer it after 5pm, I let it go to Voice Mail. If it is important I can call back at a time when it works for me... </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">I may even chose to totally ignore your voice-mail. I may never respond. I can do that. I can be that cold.

<br />
hello everyone!<br />
daddy is writing the blog today cuz tUcKe<b><i>R</i></b> is <b><i>r</i></b>esting...<br />
i could say that he is <b><i>tuckered</i></b> out...<br />
<br />
and daddy is <b><i>r</i></b>eally not feeling it...<br />
<br />
<b>r</b>eally?<br />
<b>r</b>eally.<br />
<b>r</b>illy....<br />
<br />
not.<br />
feeling.<br />
it.<br />
<br />
so he<b>r</b>e is one of my favorite stories of all time...<br />
brought to you by the letter <b><i>r</i></b>...<br />
<br />
<u><i>that su<b>r</b>e is a lot of bandaids...</i></u><br />
<br />
When my daughter was young, she loved Band-Aids. If it hurt, it needed a band-aid. I never understood why. I still don’t. I fought this affinity for about three minutes.<br />
<br />
Or three years.<br />
<br />
I can’t quite remember when I just gave in and gave up. I had no idea that this was even an issue when I re-married eleven years ago.<br />
<br />
<div></div>One day my daughter asked me for a Band-Aid.<br />
“Are you hurt?” I asked.<br />
“Yes.” She replied.<br />
“Are you bleeding?” was my next query.<br />
“No.” she responded.<br />
“Then you don’t need a Band-Aid,” was my logical response.<br />
“Yes. I do” She replied.<br />
<br />
This went on for what seemed like hours. It was probably more like three seconds.<br />
<br />
I gave in. <br />
<br />
<div></div>When I went to the linen closet to get a Band-Aid I found that we had approximately seven million of them.<br />
<br />
Geez that was a lot of Band-Aids<br />
<br />
There were Barney, Scooby, and Hello Kitty band-aids. There were pink ones and blue ones and even a couple boxes of flesh colored regular boring band-aids.<br />
<br />
I remarked to my wife, “Why do we have SO many Band-aids?”<br />
“Libby likes them.” she replied.<br />
<br />
I guess so, I thought to myself. <br />
<br />
<div></div>I gave my daughter one and thought that was all I had to do.<br />
“Put it on me.” She said.<br />
<br />
I asked her where it needed to be adhered, and she pointed to what appeared to be a spot of perfectly healthy skin.<br />
Again I asked, “Why do you need a band aid?”<br />
"I have a boo-boo." she replied.<br />
<br />
Over the years she had several boo-boos and apparently the band aid was the magic elixir that made it all right. I am not a kiss it an make it feel all right type of guy. I reluctantly obliged. What can you do?<br />
<br />
Too soon she won't need me at all, for anything, let alone making it feel alright.<br />
<br />
<div></div>I am a carpenter by trade. I still have all my fingers. However, I often get cut, scraped or draw blood. Lots of boo-boos. Sometimes I am bleeding and I only figure that out when I see blood on the floor or the object I am working on.<br />
<br />
My idea of a band-aid is duct tape. In lieu of duct tape there is electrical tape. If those two items are not available there is always a strip of a rag.<br />
<br />
The dirtier the better, that’s how you build up tolerance to infection.<br />
<br />
<div></div>When I sold my Toyota, I found three boxes of Band-Aids in the back seat storage compartment. I think I put them in there to make room in the linen closet. Maybe it was to make sure I had a Band-Aid in case my daughter needed one. I traded in the Toyota for a Ford Ranger and I have a first –aid kit in my truck.<br />
<br />
I am not exactly sure what is in it.<br />
<br />
I put it in there when I bought the truck. I have no idea where it came from. It is not big enough to hold a roll of duct tape.<br />
<br />
<div></div>A few months ago we were playing Hockeyball. My daughter took a tumble. She skinned her knee. It drew blood. She left the rink, and cleaned up her wound.<br />
<br />
She is s tough little cookie. She made more of a fuss about the hole in the leg of her newest pair of skinny-leg jeans than the bleeding spot on her knee. She came back on for her next shift, and played thru the rotation.<br />
<br />
She never even asked me for a Band-Aid.<br />
<br />
My little girl is growing up.<br />

<i>cuz i am a lazy puppy, and tUcKeR is still MIA...i think he saw a squirrel and ran off a couple hours ago...his idea for a blog post half done, and well...half assed...or he is sleeping in the other room...</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>on behalf of the the JADIP blog / blog for my puppy the WorldDogmanator, tUcKeR, </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>here is my first ever blog post....(edited a bit from the first draft)</i><br />
<br />
Just another day in paradise.<br />
<br />
<b>JADIP. </b>Living the dream.<br />
<br />
I have heard it said that a positive attitude is the key to happiness. I do not know if that is the case, but it is definitely my key to keep from going insane. Everyone has problems and bad days. Everyone has issues. Everyone faces loss and pain. However, everyone also has good times, and good days. Some of us just have more bad than good. And some of us have more good than bad.<br />
<br />
It is all about how you spin it.<br />
<br />
When someone asks me, “How’s it going” or “What’s up?” or any other greeting I respond with this phrase. “<b><i>J</i></b>ust another day in paradise.” Usually people smile. They get it. I follow up with “Living the dream.” Am I lying? Am I being facetious?<br />
<br />
Neither, I am just spinning it to make the day more palatable, for them and me.<br />
<br />
Attitude is the proper spin on the issues you are facing. If it is not life or death, you can bet that there is someone that has it worse than you. You don’t have to look very far to find greater pain than the mundane problems impeding your happiness. The world spins, and your outlook should as well.<br />
<br />
It is all about how you look at it.<br />
<br />
I try not to get too hung up on the details. I try not to stress out about the issues. I try not to feel sorry for myself. I like to see people smile. I like to hear laughter. Even if it is at my expense. I am a spin doctor of happy thoughts.<br />
<br />
At least I try to be.<br />
<br />
One day I was doing some plumbing. I had to fix a water leak. I had the parts and pieces sitting on the vanity counter. I had to pee. There was a toilet next to the counter. I urinated into the toilet. I did not flush. I left the seat up.<br />
<br />
You can see where this is going.<br />
<br />
I some how hit the parts on the counter. They somehow fell in the toilet. Major bummer, dude. They would not flush. They would clog the toilet. That would compound the problem.<br />
<br />
I would them have a toilet issue as well as a water leak.<br />
<br />
Somehow they have to get out of the toilet. Copper is not magnetic. There is only one solution. Reach in to the pee infused water and pull out the parts. Problem solved. It could be worse. It could be solid waste. It could be someone else’s urine. The day, as impossible as it sounds, went down hill from there. I will not bore you with the issues and setbacks I faced.<br />
<br />
It was Friday however.<br />
TGIF.<br />
<br />
When my boss called to ask how the day went of course I said “Just another day in paradise.” “Living the dream.” And then I told him the toilet water story. He laughed. He laughed hard. It is funny. It is funnier to have it happen to someone else. Stupid stuff is always funnier when it happens to someone else.<br />
<br />
After all it is <b><i>j</i></b>ust another day in paradise and I am living the dream.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>btw..tUcKeR is right here beside me, sleeping...chasing bunnies and squirrels is hard work...and so is the a to z challenge...he vows he will be back soon...</i><br />
