Greetings from Prison

rmiles7721March 27, 20081Site News

I was reading this article over at CNN that talks about a new line of greeting cards that this lawyer (figures…) came up with while looking in vain for a birthday card for her brother-in-law while he was incarcerated.

Both the wife and I had a good laugh at some of the cards which include wonderful sentiments such as “You had the choice to be ‘naughty or nice.’ And you chose … Now you have to do your time. But, Christmas won’t be the same without you here.” or “we’re all praying for you while you do your time”. The first one is actually pretty funny and it got me to thinking.

It hurt, too…

Anyway, while I was sitting here drinking my morning coffee and reading I came up with a couple of greetings for incarcerated loved ones myself.

Congrats on the birth of your child!…It’s not your’s.

Merry Christmas you fucking loser.

Happy Thanksgiving…We’re enjoying a fine repast whilst Bubba stuffs your ass like a turkey.

A bit of Christmas cheer for my favorite dope, and here’s to hoping you don’t drop the soap.

You guys have any you want to add to the list?

Is the Parachute D.B. Cooper's?

rmiles7721March 27, 2008Site News

Last year the FBI put out what basically amounts to a media blitz in the hopes that someone in the public would come forward with a bit of new information in the 37 year old case. It may have happened.



A torn and tangled parachute found by children in southwest Washington state may belong to famed hijacker D.B. Cooper, who jumped out of a jetliner in 1971 with $200,000 in cash, never to be seen again.
There’s been a story up for a couple of days at CNN that details some of the history.

This Weeks Hero Was Suggested by Kathi

Soldiers' Angels Living Legends Team

Soldiers’ Angels Living Legends Team
May No Soldier Go Unloved
Living Legends began in May 2005 with a very small team of seven dedicated angels. The team’s mission was to let the families and friends of fallen heroes know that we were here to support them and to honor their loved one. At the same time, they had to make sure that they were sensitive to what the family was going through. While this team has grown tremendously, they have worked very hard to maintain that same level of dedication and sensitivity. This team is staffed with trained volunteers who carry out a very difficult mission for Soldiers’ Angels. Due to their dedication, Soldiers’ Angels is able to honor those heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and to pay their respects and offer their deepest sympathies to the families and loved ones grieving the painful loss of their son or daughter; husband or wife; brother or sister; mom or dad; aunt or uncle; their friend.
For more information on the Soldiers’ Angels Living Legends Team, you can visit their site.

Sometimes a hero is one who sacrifices everything in their life to help others. And sometimes a hero is one who sacrifices nothing more than their time.

Workout

rmiles7721March 25, 2008Parenting/Family

I feel as if someone beat me all over with a padded stick. No bruises or anything, just a dull ache.

I was already sore before I ever made it to the gym this afternoon, but I did go for my second trip there. I used several of the weight machines and ended up on the elliptical for awhile to stretch out the leg muscles a bit. I managed to get there at 2:30 today and it was much less crowded than yesterday evening, so that was nice. I am going to try and start going daily, at least three or four times a week. It really just depends on what is going on.

Yesterday I felt like I was going to blow chunks when I got finished. I guess there is all sorts of nasty crap stored up in my fat and muscles that doesn’t belong there that’s moving around now. Next thing you know I’m going to have to start eating healthy. Fuck that. Maybe later.

Of course as soon as I drove out of the parking lot of the gym I lit up. Last smoke. I had a couple in my car from the other day and what the hell do you need more after a good workout than a hot cup of coffee and a Winston? I’ve been home for a while now and don’t have the slightest urge to go smoke though. That last one as I was driving home wasn’t too good. Tasted like dogshit actually.

I have a bit of web surfing to do and then I have to go pick the girls up. I would have gotten them on the way home but today is chorus and I don’t think it finishes until 4:30 anyway. Besides, Pete and RePete get angry when I pick them up too early from late stay. The really enjoy hanging out there with their friends.

At The Gym

rmiles7721March 25, 2008Site News

So I went to the gym finally. Spent about an hour yesterday evening, maybe forty minutes. I’m only slightly sore and I didn’t even feel it until I started typing. It was not very crowded which is a good thing. I spoke with the owner for a few minutes and he took me through a walk-through of the place and started me on a regimen of about 10 machines I need to use daily. Fuck.

It’s not that I am just lazy, I am the epitome of sloth. Up until this last decade or so I have never been in bad shape. Other than running from police and other sundry authority figures I have never worried about exercise. I’ve even had people ask if I work out. I was insanely blessed with a fine metabolism and my upper body strength was just fine. Except that now my weight has migrated and now that I am 41 my shoulders are hanging out about my waist. It’s hard to diddle myself when I have to reach around my gut…

Anyhow, I enjoyed my workout and plan to go back today just as long as I can get out of work at a decent time. It should be less crowded at 2 p.m. as well. I don’t particularly want the fucking audience, although that’s just me being self-conscious. Everyone else is there for the same thing too aren’t they? You know, to look at the hotties. Anyway, it’s time to head off to work.

Great Intentions…

rmiles7721March 23, 20081Blogging

I never did get to go to the gym today. I had every intention of getting started, I even got there and two women were already there using the equipment I was going to get started on. Rather than hang out as well as being embarrassed because I really don’t know what the fuck I am doing I feigned a cell call and beat it.

If I can manage to get my ass out of bed on time in the morning I will try and get there between five and five thirty tomorrow morning, that way I can get a shower in afterward, prior to heading off to work.

Speaking of getting out of bed on time, I didn’t wake up until shortly before seven this morning. That’s like two hours later than normal. I think part of it is because of my sun burn and the rest is due to the fact that my body is just pooped. I have worked something like six weeks with five days off, maybe six. I am supposed to be off Thursday and Friday this week and had planned on being off two days the next but since one of the other district’s and myself seem to be overlapping again I don’t think I will get both Friday and Saturday. I have already told her I am willing to give up my Saturday that week but I get the following weekend off. We’ll see how it goes I suppose.

That’s about it for tonight. I spent a few minutes working on this logo creator thingy that I have to write a review for on another site, that was pretty cool. I’ll post some screenshots later. How about some of these taglines…
