this blogging is already helping:
based on yesterday's depressing post, today i got a library card and even checked out 3 books.
today is a perfect day for reading: grey and rainy. The Nanny diaries is the book i'm reading now. i wanted to not be able to relate to the story. I cannot relate to nannies in rich NYC.
I played with my dogs Angel and Yoshi and read. I want to eat BBQ and drive far from Houston.

i don't remember the last book i read. i read the wall street journal monday - friday (free subscription). I read news and commentary sites on line. i read this everyday.
in college (university of texas) i read tons. i even read quite a bit after college. The army takes reading out of you. must've been it. it was in the army that i really learned how to curse. before the army, i cursed a little if i got really mad. while i was in the army, i heard cursewords strung together in such new and creative ways. so i didn't read but i still learned much.
i should go to a library or a bookstore

I need to work on this:
i'm not very good around sick, hurt, or otherwise physically incapacitated people. Maybe it's because I've been lucky enough not to be sick or injured very often in my life. i just don't have empathy. i want to and i try to fake like i do but i don't.
i've only been really sick once in my life: kindergarten when I had pneumonia and missed 4 days of school. other than that, i didn't miss school because i was sick. (i skipped school plenty but not because i was sick). since i've been a working adult--after graduating college--i've missed 1 day of work. My voice was completely gone. As my job requires me to talk almost non-stop, work was impossible.
Moral of the story: if you are sick around me, i will try to be nice and empathatic but, i really don't like you being sick.
How did 17 people die because of hurricane?? I mean, there was plenty of warning. Should traffic accidents count? that's what caused 7 deaths. CNN doesn't explain all 17 though. I can understand a tree falling over on your house, but 17??? Probably too soon to comment on this though. As Lenny Bruce said "comedy is tragedy + time" At least i think he said it.
