As I’m sitting here listening to the Outfield’s classic ‘Play Deep’, I’m transported back to 1990. I was at my first Air Force base. It was Fort Worth, Texas. I was just out of high school. We had the best party. It was at a friend’s house off-base. It started on Friday night and literally ran for the entire weekend. It was the weekend that movies are made about. Nothing spectacular happened, but entire relationships began, climaxed and ended. And this album was on repeat pretty much the whole time.

I guess everybody has had one weekend like that?

I thought I should post something about those financial problems I was having earlier. Yep. Still have them. Things are slightly better. I got a personal loan to pay off the rapist installment loan.

That helped.

I found some other revenue sources that will help alleviate some of the medical bills and get some needed car repairs.

We’re getting by. But certainly not anywhere near out of the woods yet.

For instance, the last computer in the house is on its last legs. I can’t afford things like life insurance, new hospital bills, the busted-up retaining wall on the side of the house or clothes for the boys who seem to grow like weeds.

Still, I’m working on it.

So, you may have noticed that last night, a post published called ‘Oops…I Tweeted…’. Figure I should tell you what it’s about.

I’m using a plugin that collects all my tweets from each day and pushes them out as a post at about 11:57pm every night. That way, all my glorious Twitter wisdom and comedy can be gotten here for all the existence of time (or at least as long I pay for hosting). If you already follow me on Twitter or could not care less about Twitter, just skips these posts, which I’ll clearly mark with the word ‘tweet’ somewhere in the post title.

Thanks.
