Heh, I got a load 7 AM in Auburn, WA, tomorrow. Got two drops on Thursday to take care of before 11 AM in California, one in Lodi, and the other in Sacramento. Gah, I am starting to hate California. No offense to those who live there. California I must admit is one of those states I would love to look around and sight see and what not. And most down there have a sense of humor, and very laid back. As far as I could tell. But its not the worst state for the trucking industry, really. Roads are not too badly designed unless your in one of the oldest, crowded areas. But mostly pretty good. Though I wish they where better maintained.

I am hoping my dispatcher got me a good load heading out of California after I drop those off. I can't afford to stay there for a week again. Truck stop food is expensive, taxes are higher than any place in the west coast (and the west coast is HIGH. Probably higher than east coast), and I check for showers no matter if I buy fuel or not when in Sacramento. And I have to pay for parking on my own. Not what I like at all. Now, the northeast can get expensive, cause of all the tolled roads. But I am reimbursed for those. Oh well, if he don't give me a good run out of there, I'll make sure I bitch this time. Cause last time I said nothing, I was stuck there for a week.


Anyway, probably the last I'll be heard of for a day or say. Knowing my luck, Sacramento's wireless is going to be down. And I'll be there sitting at that truck stop again. OH well.

I am home still, waiting for a call for a load today. I have a feeling it will be tomorrow. And I HOPE it will be tomorrow. Worst case would be a load tonight for California. UGH. Now, a load tonight for Ohio. YES. Miles....and decent planning to make it. IF these people PLAN their loads right for the west coast, it would not be an issue. Cause going from here to LA is at most, 1200 miles. Not bad.


Anyway, IF I am free today....well, I'll nap, and maybe...hopefully get ahold of others I have not see yet since I been back before I head out. If not...well....I guess next month. I am planning to stop in Indianapolis between now and my next Doctors appointment.

OH well, about it.....for now.


Oh, and Safari for PC seems to work better than Safari for the MAC. Which is funny cause Safari is Apple's main web browser.

I had a fun night. Real fun.

Right now doing laundry, then after that, going to sleep. Gotta get up early to head to my tractor. Then from there, probably get a load....hopefully east to give me miles to give me a decent pay check.....and not California. Ugh......not like I'll end up being stopped due to major forest fires all over the place right now going through major passes....and the state of Utah. Well, okay, the state itself is not on fire. But the fires are in such key locations that I am better off not passing through Utah on their interstates unless I went to round up in some smoke cloud.

And, I been avoiding admitting to this till now. But damn, I don't want to do this anymore. I mean, I love the job, I like doing what I am doing. But it leaves me no time for a social life. Majority of my friends moved on despite me moving back and I am having a hard time keeping up with most. Not to mention that I really want to get out of debt, be a husband. Meh, maybe be a parent. I doubt the last part. But I am just tired of thrashing about in life, not paying attention to the time passing by till a moment where I get to stop and think.....and realize that I may see me leaving classes for the end of my high school day as just yesterday. But those days have been so, so, so, SO long gone. I have little idea what anyone is saying anymore. And I just feel like.....life passed me by. I am still young, true, and I still got allot of time, yes. But....well....its nice to be held and hold some one dear to you. Don't have to be sexual, just....comfort, you know. Pathetic, yeah. But still, I know more people who experienced that at least more than once. Me...zip....till last night. I don't mind fading away from existence, its going to happen to us in due time. I am not looking for a way to leave my mark. But, really, I don't want to fade away alone. At least, not alone most of the time. Some never have a chance, some do. I don't want to fade away saying never.

But, I got a goal, and right now trucking is the source to help me get to goal one. And that is, pay off allot of bills and people I owe. I hope I can do that very soon.....

For the love of God, just because I have an account where I post art and stories does not mean I'll be happy to just do something on a whim. And please, please, PLEASE look at the descriptions and what not. Cause in the drawings I post, I no I clearly say who the artist is and that I did not draw them. At the same time, just because I seem to have allot of crap I call stories in my scraps does not mean I can be given a couple ideas. Then expected to type one up very quickly. The only reason my current stories are typed up in less than 5 hours does not mean I am real good with typing. I just have ideas in my head that I been droning on for weeks, and I eventually just shit them out through my keyboard. But my usually time frame on typing something from scratch is...sadly....2 to 4 months. My first Shandra story took me 4 months. Which is also another reason I barely want to sit down and do the total grammar and spelling checks on the stories. Cause I just get discouraged when I realize how long it took me to finish them.


Anyways, main point I am getting at is. Just because I appear to have (granted or not), it does not mean I'll be able, let alone willing to dish out shit on a whim to entertain you. I love to please, but in the end, its all about me feeling good about myself and feeling entertained. And I am not happy if I am expected to be the one to dish out your own ideas.

I know I may seem skittering at times and afraid to ask for anything. But I do realize that its not easy to ask for something from some one, and being able to have them fully understand what I am asking for. Let alone if they even have the time. But I do try to give space when needed....maybe too much at times (I got one comishion that I have no clue what happened with it), but oh well. Everyones got a life.

And if the person your hoping to become your device to bring forth your imagination tries to tell you nicely that they are busy or just have no time and got their own stuff to take care of. For the love of God, please get a clue before I have to go nuts on you. I am not going to type you a story that clearly you have a very good idea where you want to go with it. Cause I don't like, nor have the time.

And if I was an artist, I would not draw anything unless....and one of the 3 must be met. 1), I am paid, 2) I really love those ideas, 3), You happen to be a real close friend of mine who's actually very appreciative of what I do and don't take advantage of me. Which, by the way, I feel like with constant nagging.


WOW, I now understand how others feel.

I got this from allot of random journals. Sorry for being a jerk this time. But...well....

Answer if you like. If not, no biggie. :-D


1. Your Name:

2. Age:

3. Fave Color:

4. Are you a virgin?

5. Are we friends?

6. Do you have a crush on me?

7. Would you take care of me when I'm sick?

8. Do you want to tell me something that you couldn't before?

9. Would you walk on the beach with me?

10. If you heard a rumor about me, would you defend me?

11. Do you talk about me?

12. Do you think I'm a good person?

13. Would you could change anything about me?

14. If you could ask one question, what would it be?

15. Would you come over for no reason just to hang out?

16. Where do you live? if US what state?

17. Will you post this so I can fill it out for you?

Happy 4th, I get to come back to the US with a full pat down and major search through my car. Lovely.....not, though maybe it did not help that I grumbled, "As usual" when I was handed my slip to go see US Customs Office. Why, why, WHY do I always get harrased by MY own customs?



Anyways, I got home Monday night. Tuesday, went down to meet a friend....no show. Though its cool, we are talking and that issue is cleared up. I hope. Later on, I went to visit another friend up in New Westminster, BC, hanged around. End up seeing both, "Live Free or Die Hard" (What not sequel numbers?). It was GOOD. Really, it was good. Then saw "transformers". It was a sold out show, so we ended up sitting in the second row close to the screen. That was movies was okay. But it left me feeling empty. Like there could have been more, and less on others. Like maybe the human focus was okay, but needed at least an equal, if not more on the Transformers themselves. The two other aspects I felt should have NEVER been in it....but its not branded Hollywood for nothing, is drop the romance and the unknown government agency branch that knows everything that even the president don't. It's like they are trying to play off the story of President Truman not knowing about the atomic bomb till President Franklin Roosevelt passed away while in office. Its that aspect that they tossed into the movie that turned it off for me. Though those who read Style Wagner's journal of "transformers" would give a better idea than I am. But it's pretty much where I am going. Later on we just went driving. Though he drove this time....in his own vehicle. It was a lovely change. I don't get driven around much. Its always me, me, me. Not saying he does that to me, therefore he's a jerk. Nope, nearly all my friend's don't have a car. So I am usually the one being taxi. So that was nice. That, and I was dead tired anyways, cause I would have drove anyways.......I wanted to test his van out a bit more. OH well, next time.


Anyways, then today, woke up later than I planned. Talked to my friend's parents, end up going out to breakfast. Then chatted some more till lunch time. I then drove down to go home. Go through my own customs. Only to get pulled over....and do what I mentioned up top.

Once that was done, I came home. Now for a nice shower.....

Heh, I sit in Pasco Washington. Not wanting to drive today, only 5 hours away from Portland, Oregon, and it gets delivered tomorrow at 11 AM. BUT, I am in a hotel room (paid by my company....well, will be paid back. I did get my purchase order numbers from the shop. So I WILL be paid for sure). BUT, anyway, I am sitting in a hotels since Friday evening cause my AC went out and its the hottest part of summer. Really, it was 100 F in my truck on Friday when I had it sitting with the windows down while I was up in Montana.


ANYWAY, I got to get cleaned up for sure now. Then eat some food, check out of the hotel, then drive down to Portland and hope to god my Terminal down there will work on it today. OR, if not.....well, get me a room and take my load away from me.....so I don't have to deliver it, yet still get paid and go home. :-P I am an ass.


So, happy Canada day buddies up north. Have not forgotten that day.

Now I hope to get home on time before my Independence day.....so I'll stay away from the war zones. Really, what better way to celebrate my country's birthday....than blowing up a section of it. :-P

I put a pic of my tumor before I got it removed. I put it in scraps. Tell me, does it look serious? Or does it look cosmetic. Meaning that I supposedly should be able to live with it? Just curious. Insurance is trying to mark it as cosmetic, therefore giving me the bill.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/630414/

DO NOT LOOK IF YOUR EASY TO GROSS OUT.

Though do keep in mind I had walked around in public looking like that.........so yeah, I do get sensitive, but I have reasons....besides that and being fat. :-P

Really, what's up right now? Say anything. I am super bored. As of this moment, I have 13 more hours till I get my hours reset back to 70. I am bored, bored, bored.

Some how round up in Fargo, North Dakota.

Heh, I am just chilling here, resetting my 70 here as I.....well, relax. I left St.Louis....oh, forgot when. Had another load of Bud (damn, if I drank and wanted to throw a huge "quiting and wanting to go to jail" party. I would have allot of kegs to drunk up a neighborhood...and then some). Though what was annoying was they had me over grossed on weight, so I had to turn around and go back to the customer for a re-load. Thank goodness I always scale at a public scale before I get pulled over at a DOT scale.

Anyways, out of all the mess and late pick up (original pickup time was the day before close to midnight. But could not pick up since I had a load to deliver in the morning). I some how was only an hour and a half late. Oh well, I delivered in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

From there, went to Green Bay, Wisconsin, and picked up a load of....elastic......diapers...thingie. The thing that is used to shrink....bah, what ever. It's the elastic part of the diapers, its got even the art on it to match the diapers its going to be put on. It's due Monday morning in Vancouver, WA. I got SO MUCH time. Hehehehe, so I drove a day till I don't have enough to gain back at least 11 hours to drive today, and shut down. IF, I had more than enough hours on my 70, I would have just zoomed over to Portland, OR and chill for the weekend. I promised myself I would look around next time I had a chance to shut down there.


Oh well, just chilling here since last night in Fargo, ND. I collected 3 free showers some how for this truck stop. Not sure how, but I am not complaining, less money for me to spend. Just food I'll need to pay for. Which is alright with me.

I doubt I know anyone up in this area....

I can't sleep. I was able to sleep 4 hours. But I need to use as much time I got. Which sucks, but I got no choice, I am playing my 70 on gaining hours back. And yesterday was the only day I had with catching up on sleep with extra stop time....and that's it till Monday. OH well...I guess. Currently in Ft. Bridger, WY. About it, I am going to try to sleep again till 10 PM, mountain time, then head out.

Okay, real quick. LA to Sacramento. No problem.

Sacramento to....some town next to San Jose. I got VERY bad directions and VERY lost. Heh, end up calling 911 to send me a trooper to direct traffic as I did a nice U-tune in a center of some neighborhood. Wake up idiots, I got lost trying to deliver your town...BEER. So fucking have a Bud and enjoy. Damnit. :-P


From there to Monetego, not bad. Then from there to here in Salt Lake City...not bad so far. Oh well, about it....running away. Life is grabbing me away. OH well, I guess it shows I got some sort of life.

Well, I am in Ontario, California again. Wow its quiet.

I don't have much to say except one thing....

WTF? Okay, I think its neat that some people want to show themselves. You know, RL photos. And maybe its okay to show SOME skin. But come on......just wearing nothing but.....undergarments? Let alone anything very SHORT. Sorry, but that's just.....gah. Last thing I want to have burned in my head is a pasty white guy/girl who's either skinny as a stick. Or BIG, to say it just bland to be nice (I am huge and round myself). SO, really, glad to know you at least feel sexy. But....well.......share THAT with your freinds. But...well....


Forget it, its a losing battle, I'll be told to look at something else and not look at that. And fine.

I think that's the name to this town in CA.

I am about 540 miles from here to Ontario, CA. Hehe......and my alarm just went off. Which means I need to head on out for a shower, food, then drive. I'll be there a day early. I like being to a customer a day early. Hopefully I'll get a long run out of there. But I have this gutsy feeling that they are done giving me long runs, and going to give me region runs now. I am going to be pissed if they'll keep doing that.

Oh well, talk later

And please all, chill. I already have enough trouble trying to control my easy to set off temper. Don't need to see buddies flaming each other. Unless I am not a buddy, please say so now so I won't be pissed off later when I learn the hard way.

See, I just got mad there for a short second. Heh, oh well, later all.

And its real simple, and not to mention, considerate......and goes to pretty much anyone in any fandom....or business...

10. Yes, artists deserve the "ridiculous" prices they charge. Consider the fact that your average pic takes about four hours from sketch to final coloring: if you pay $40 that's $10 an hour. So no, $10 is not an appropriate price for a full-color, full length drawing.

9. Just because they draw pr0n doesn't mean they'll draw your pr0n.

8. Bitching at an artist every hour until they do your commission is not a good way to motivate them.

7. Just because she's submissive doesn't mean she wants to submit to you. Just because she's domme doesn't mean she wants you as a pet.

6. It's okay to live and let live. The fact that they don't share your interest doesn't make them a bad person. Pushing your interests on them makes you a jerk.

5. Chatting with someone for five minutes does not mean they love you, nor does it make them your friend, your mate, your buddy, nor even a casual acquaintance.

4. Believing you're actually a dragon in a human body is fine. Thinking this makes you so much better than everyone else out there makes you a narcissistic jerk.

3. It's spelled HUMAN. H-U-M-A-N. If you use "Hyoomon" in serious conversation, you are either a Ferengi or a moron.

2. Buying a commission from an artist does not entitle you to cybor or picz. Buying a book from Barnes and Nobel doesn't entitle you to a free bj from the author.

1. When in doubt, remember Winston Churchill: "A fanatic is someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."

I waisted 7 hours yesterday just trying to get to my place to our drop yard, to the customer, then out of Puget Sound. Holey shit. I love the place, but there is not reason WHY I keep hitting traffic after traffic. And the sad part is. NO ONE shares the road. Everyone fights to be first. And because of that, there is ALWAYS an accident. Idiots.


Anyways, I 57 miles north of Portland, OR. Getting ready to head down south. Apparently I was given the wrong drop off point. I am going to Ontario, CA....again BUT, at least I been there before. So its not so bad at all. Considering no one at main office is willing to admit they fucked up and my computer on board the truck is still giving me directions to the customer in Orange, CA. What ever, I know the one in Ontario, and its next exit to the truck stop. This is better, as far as I can care about.

About it, take care all.

Out of my sketch book.

I been meaning to do that for awhile. Just been so busy trying to get a life. Then was just too busy trying to keep it. And when I get time off, I just want to space out. I mean, I would be out on the road for at least 2 weeks at a time. So of course when I get time off of my truck, I'll just want to space out and do nothing. Of course this is the longest I been off of my truck....while still being employed that I finally decided to take care of the scans. That, and I remembered after talking to a buddy of mine online.

Anyways, so there's all I am willing to share. There's other's in my sketch book that I like but have no clue who have done them. And some that are just....well, there. Then there's a couple that I sorta like. But not crazy about sharing them. Some got inside jokes that I rather leave as inside jokes.

Then there are some that when I look at the art in my sketch book now that dates back as far as 2000, then look at those respective artist now and see how much they not only improved, but nowadays are on the top of their game. I just feel sharing them might embarrass them. Hell, there's one artist who I met at Conifur 2000 who's such a nice guy. He and a bunch of his buddies crammed into a car and drove to Fife all the way from Edmonton, AB. They where all sitting in the artist ally. I think they had a hard time being noticed, and one guy I went ahead and asked him to draw in my sketch book. He not only drew me, but he coloured it. I really like it, and I asked him how much for it. He said, "don't worry about it." At the time I had money to spare and I really wanted to give him something for his troubles, so I gave hi $5 bucks. I forgot how I did it, but he took it. Nowadays, that guy's art improved SO MUCH, and he's one of those everyone wants to ask for advice on art techniques. Heh, it was hard to approach him after that. Not like I have a spine to begin with.

Oh well, I better hush up now, my foods getting cold. Hope you all like what I did decide to share with you all.

Cause I find it funny.....I mean, extreme dead skate boarders and gay unicorns, oh my. :-P Oh, and the importance of never using the word FART. :-P


Oh well, not much with me. Last Saturday and Sunday I was home early. I chilled at home. Sunday, I drove around, looking for the customers I had to deliver on Monday. I went to Lynwood, to the Costco there. Then to Kent, then out of the blue, drove down to Bonney Lake to show my Mom the stupid drop yard we use. Oh, yeah, I had my Mom join me for the ride...and got to drive her van. Wheee. After that, went to Bellevue to find the Safeway DC and Dairy plan....no joke, they actually fill milk cartons and make the Safeway brand ice cream there.

Monday, I went to visit a friend of mine down in Renton. We watched a movie and had lunch...or was it dinner, heh, I had fun at least. Oh, and lounge at the book store. Though I felt I did not get to socialize much that time. Meh, then again, I think I am losing my hearing, I kept asking, "What" all the time. She's not that quiet. Now my sister, she's freaking quiet....sorry sis. :-P Oh well, about it, it was interesting. Once i dropped her off for her practice...I think it was singing..play....heh, I am horrid lately. But after I dropped her off, I stopped at Fry's to chill, then went home.

Tuesday was just sleep and rest.

Wensday was the operation. It did not take too long, and it was very early in the morning. Was nice to get that out of the way.

Thursday and Friday was nothing more.

Saturday went to Everett Mall and met up with others to just hang around. Then later the group split except for 3 of us and just hanged out at the IHOP off the corner of Everett Mall way and WA-99.

Sunday, and today...just chill mainly. At least I am chilling.

This week I don't have much planned. I was hoping I would get to hang out with my friend down in Renton one more time, but she sounds like she's gotten very busy. Just got a job, so I hope that works out. Heh. Though I have not been able to get a hold of some of my old friends in town. They are just getting too anti-social the last couple of years, its hard to get any of them to answer the phone. Hell, one buddy now set his voice mail to just go off, so now I have to leave a message right away instead of getting a ring tone. I COULD get WOW, but come on, if I have to buy a game just so I can communicate with them for RL stuff. They are lost to the real world, and I can't allow them to drag me under......I don't have a choice if I wanted too. As for my close buddy from high school. His Mom finally lost the house for sure. So him and his family are some where out there. Don't know where. And finally, buddy up north. Was able to get a hold of him....or should I say, he got a hold of me. I would love to go north to visit. But with my current condition, I really, really, don't want to deal with the border guards and give them my life story on why I currently have a Y shape stitches on the left side of my head, and why my Dr. felt its best to leave it uncovered this time.

OH well....I guess. I hope my next time off I'll be able to get a hold of everyone this time and be able to go visit people. Till then, I guess I'll be bored most of the time and wait till Thursday. This coming Thursday I get my stitches removed. Then Friday I go back to work.

Oh well....about it.

I feel like a jerk allot of times than not.

I mean, sometimes I get too many people asking me for too many favors, then I get told I don't enjoy life and forget being able to ask them favors. I don't know, sometimes I just get annoyed for no reason. But really, just because I am going to be home for a couple days to a week. Does not mean I'll be happy to do things that really that person can do themselves. That, and it annoys me that I showed them so many times how to do it. And they still refuse to give it a shot. I don't mind if I help be a guide in the background. But after awhile, it gets annoying that I have to do the whole thing.

Then again, I know too many people who if I do get their attention, either they'll take over EVERYTHING and do my request without letting me put in my input...just my answers in the blanks that need to be filled. OR, they won't help me at all and expect me to do it 100%. What ever happen to the type of help that "guides" you, and is there behind you so if you do screw up in the process, they'll help guide you on the right path?

In case anyone wonders, I am referring to my Mother. I been doing her resumes for the last 10 years now. There's no excuse nowadays. I shown her so many times in the past. I showed her how to use my computer. And now a days I got her a computer that she can use. But she never touches it except her husband. Either way, I shown her how to use it. I really don't want to waste my time on it anymore. I get annoyed with how she keeps saying she don't need anyone to help her out. But she bugs the shit out of me to do stuff she just refuses to learn how to use and/or do. I have no idea why she have not moved on since I did leave home for a year. I would think that's more than enough to let her know I got my own life. Hell, with my current profession, I am not even home as much as I would like to be.

Oh well, what ever, I guess.

EMO, EMO, EMO. :-P


Now I got that out of my system. How's everyone else? The world sucks all over, so if anyone got anything uplifting to say. Please say it. Though....keep the dirty jokes elsewhere. :-P I may be a perv, but I like to keep my conversations as clean as possible. Heh.

Really, thanks for all the best wishes.

Well, the operation was a success. Lets hope I don't get under the knife again.....getting tired of being butchered every other year.

Anyways, things are done with. And I am once again broke.

Also, I never mentioned it sinceI thought I stopped it. BUt some idiot vacation company some how got a hold of my checking information, and since then took out as of today, 400 bucks of my hard earned money. Money that I NEED to pay my bills. I could have swarn I told them to stop. But they took out another 50 bucks this week. Therefore screwing me some more. I am going to call my college financial aid people to see if they are willing to wait on payment....again. Last time I called was when I was jobless for a few months. This time I need some breather room cause of the operation.....and some idiot who's screwing me financially.

Anyways, I'll be calling them tomorrow, if they don't stop. My bank is already with setting up a scam report on them. I may or may not get my money back. But I can at least stop these idiots from taking more money, and hopefully get them into further trouble with the law. Just because it's Universal Studios of Orlando, don't mean I'll be happy to pay for shit.....that I have no clue what I am paying for.


Other than that, I am doing fine. Hehehehe, no cast this time. Just stitches and allot of medical cotton to use to wipe the bleeding. So I get to walk around with stitches showing.

OH well, what ever, never rains, just pours......I hear that too often, and it happens allot. But I'll fix this some how. Got to. I am through being screwed.

Well, so much happened, but I'll talk about it later.

I am going to get cut up on a surgery table now. Let's hope I don't have to do this again.

I am back WAY early. But I got deliveries on Monday.

The damn truck stop in town here keeps making things harder and harder for me. I mean, they are just rude and idiotic. I won't go into the huge details. What I will go into is I'll have to move my truck tomorrow. Which is very stupid, where am I going to park the damn thing till Monday? One thing is for sure, on Monday, I'll explain to my dispatcher what's going on. And tell him never to give me a load like this again. either I show up here, deliver right away, then go home. Or drop the load off at he drop yard and take care of it later. But none of this shit.

I am going to sleep. been up almost 24 hours. Then later on tonight, I'll just drive to the locations so I'll have knowledge of the delivery points for Monday.

Duh. :-P

Anyways, I am sitting here in Medford, OR. I am about to head out....though I really don't want to. This load is due Monday morning....well, 1 out of 3 stops. BUT, if I leave now, I'll be in Marysville, WA by 8 to 10 am in the morning. So I'll be sitting there from Saturday morning...till early Monday morning. If it was not for the fact the Truck Stop in Marysville (Donna's) was being a bit bitchy lately and not wanting me to park there....unless I am in the truck while I am there. I would just do what I used to do. Pay them for a day or two to not tow my truck away, and head home for the time being. There is NOTHING in that truck stop. And what they do have is sad, sad, SAD. So I am confused on what to do next. Either way, I need to be up there before Sunday evening. Just so by the time I need to deliver the freight, I'll have a full 14 hours to do all three stops that day. And once done, I'll drop my trailer off in Kent, and head home.

Oh well, about it.

As for my subject title, I mentioned it cause I now want a GPS system. Though I find it funny that there's no GPS programs for a Mac. Which is funny, cause when I looked at the box, it says for system requirements for a Mac is as follows, "Mac running Bootcamp with Windows on a separate partition. Look for hardware and OS version info above." Uh, yeah, what a way to say, "Fuck you, you made a way to put windows on your hardware Apple, so we don't have to work for a port to your architect." Uh, yeah, up yours too. Oh well, its not a big issue with me anyways. But I just feel sorry for the 100% Mac users. Once again the Mac users get screwed, despite how good Macs are. And no, I am not saying they are superior over PC's. Those who think that never used a Mac in a corporate and educational setting. When I was in high school, I had a mac, and our school used macs. I had to re-install my Mac allot, cause I brought home viruses that even Norton could not keep up with. So those who tell me, "I used Mac's for 20 years, and I never had to use a virus scan." Well buddy, start using one, cause your being ignorant. It's like a saying I heard, "You can't win or lose if you do not run the race." Well, if you never used Anti-virus on a Mac, how do you truly know its not infected?

As for GPS hardware by itself. Well, its nice and all. But its a tiny device that cost a shit load of money. And the only thing it does over a PC version is it talks to you. Other than that, both give you real time directions. As in, you can be moving and the arrow on the screen moves with you.

I just want Google earth. Mainly cause so far its been pretty good as a map with Satalite Images. I don't use it for directions. But I do compare my directions I got from the company and customers and compare it to the satalite images and street names that pop up with it. So I usually have a better picture in my mind to look out for when I start rolling in. I am getting slightly Dependant on it. Hell, I been less scared of driving in the LA metro area cause of it. Let alone anywhere in the Northeast. It's not 100% accurate. But the satalite images and marking of the streets do help tremendously. Only time its iffy is when I have to pickup/deliver to a place that is out in the country side. Those images don't come clearly the closer you zoom in. But it still helps.

Something about this town that leaves me feeling cold. I don't know why. I get this feeling that I am not wanted here. Everywhere I go in this town, let alone the state of Utah seems to not like me around. Then again, maybe its because I am not an old White guy with the same gray hair, gray mustache, with a heavy accent that's neither southern nor northern...but stereotype country. Which I never knew was possible. I mean, anyone who looked like that wherever I go (which is limited since I am in a semi-truck. so I am talking about customers and truck stops), seem to look at me like I don't belong here. BUT, when I think about it, since I look like a minority around here. I mean, I am younger, chubby, shaved face, black hair, and slightly Asian looking. I guess I would stick out now, won't I? Oh, and my accent switches between bland to something weird. I want to think its my imagination, but seeing another guy who did not fit the description I mention above get treated like shit. I guess I am not the only one.

Anyways, I'll be heading out of this state very soon, once I get my hours back. I been camping in weird places the last couple of days since I left California. Though now I got a light load heading back to California. This time to Sacramento. I prefer Sacramento out of all the major cities in California. Mainly cause its a TINY burp, then nothing. Unlike the LA metro area, which goes on for a long time. I just hope after I am done in Sacramento, they let me pick up some milk down south of Sacramento like I did last time and go deliver it to Grandview Washington, so I can go home. I want to go home. I want to say hi to allot of people, get this operation done. And maybe get out of my shell and do something that's been burning in me recently.

Oh well, about it, later.

Gah, I am still up...I sleep now. Got delivery to pick up at 7pm....and it's 11 am right now. Yeah, I supposedly got allot of time. But I do have to consider LA traffic.
