I thought I would represent one of my acclaimed fireworks pictures here, too, since you know, it is my site.

After the second time, I am beginning to quite enjoy setting off pretty explosions in the middle of a cornfield. It makes me feel somewhat isolated, like I am shooting flares from a deserted island, except they are 'everything-is-OK-so-stay-away' flares.

That was a week ago, though. Things are a little different tonight. I feel a little run off of my feet, working about 30 hours in two days... I am somewhat generally motivated and inspired, but too tired or busy to do anything about it.

The newest Subway logo is completely non-sensical. The 'S' and the 'y' are ostensibly one way streets... For the arrow thingies to work like they should, the text needs to be written in cursive, though that doesn't suit folded meat and spongey bread real well. I also see the font has been thinned a little bit, and italicized to look sleeker, kind of like Jarrod or "Henry. Clay Henry!"

It makes me wonder... Do corporate logos live their lives monopolized by their own products? Can Ronald McDonald only eat Big Macs? What would happen if he ate a Whopper? Would the CEOs of his corporation be alerted by some foreign meat sensor, and release Mayor McCheese from the Phantom Zone to smite him?

My boss at Kwik Mart is convinced that I am having an affair with Maggie, or at the very least, she is stalking me. Neither is true, of course, she just likes to visit, and chat for a long length of time. I tell my boss that she comes to corner me, to trap me some place where I can't get away. Heh. Maggie is very threatening, after all, with a different purse for everyday of the week, and twice as much lip gloss.

Mel came in tonight, too, first time I have seen her in a few months. She walked in and exclaimed "it smells new in here". Well, it might have been me. I was wearing white, and my hair is longer, and in my face. I only see her, like, six times a year, so I guess I am always new to her. Also, because she has a memory like a pot addict, and still cannot remember if I have facial hair, or wear glasses when we talk on the phone.

Life is full of people coming and going, and that is exciting... Because who is going to come next? (you're a filthy bastard)

And who is going to go next...? A good departure is always sad, but can be motivating and memorable, like when Luke Perry left 90210.

I suppose for people like Maggie and Mel, it is going to be me. That is strange for me, because I have always felt like I have been a consistent entity (ego alert) in some peoples' lives, and that is going to change...

What the hell! I just remembered Plywood Pete existed!
