The ability to say what I want and not get arrested...oh wait, I might get arrested or loose my job.

The creative juices have been less than flowing lately. So, creativity has escaped me.

I guess I could do the standard post of "There are other things I could be doing like researching Autism and Fragile X" but do I really want to be researching Autism and Fragile X. Not right now. I could always do that tomorrow, at Tara.

I'm not a poet but that protester complaining about Senator Buttars was a beatnic.

I wish my friend Zane would write me back.

I watched an E! True Hollywood Story the other night about Jenna Jamison.

I've listened to one entire album of Nirvana and it made me so depressed I stopped eating for about 10 minutes.

I hate the fact that at work, since I'm a secretary, I'm at the bottom of the food chain. Let me explain. 1. I received an unvitation to a birthday party of a girl on my team. 2. Everyone on my team received a valentine from our team leader, except me. 3. When I suggest ideas to my boss he shurgs them off but when those same ideas get presented by a recruiter they are implimented within minutes.

I need to become my own boss.

I enjoy doing service for others.

The Streets of 400 South and 700 East

Not where they intersect but the streets themselves.

Let's start with my least favorite street in Salt Lake City, 400 South.

I hate 400 South. There are lights on every block from Main Street to 900 East and if you miss one, your once short commute from purchasing I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and The Children of Men by P.D. James at the Barnes and Noble at the Gateway leaves you wondering why you didn't go to the one in Sugarhouse. I've never had any luck with 400 South and I've lived Downtown for two and a half years. I try to avoid 400 South at all costs but sometimes it's necessary, like when I want a Jamba Juice or need to return a movie to Hollywood Video. On those mornings I feel like a Jamba Juice or need to return a movie to Hollywood Video, I always get to the light on 900 East and 400 South too late to trigger the arrow. That forces me to wait another light cycle making me even more late for work. There are so many fast food restaurants on 400 South that I can never make up my mind about what I want for dinner. I mostly hate the light on every block thing.

Next, my second most least favorite street in Salt Lake City, 700 East.

I use 700 East to get to work everyday. If it weren't so convienent, I wouldn't take it. Everyone on 700 East seem to be in a grand hurry. They cut people off, they tail people, they speed. People drive on 700 East as if their grandmother is dying and they need to go say goodbye (this phrase has caught on with my sister "I don't care if your grandmother is dying, obey the law." Let's make this the new, "Hey, man, stop doing stupid things while your driving"). Unlike 400 South, which has an overabundance of food stops, 700 East has a few that strike my fancy. When I need to study or read, I go to Dees. But since that's $15 a pop, I have to make the trek to 400 South, where I'm caught in the light on every block thing. I mostly hate the speeding thing.

Each street has it's pros and cons. Well mostly cons. The biggest con is that they are in an endless cycle of hate by Allison.

Eye opener?

Maybe for some. For me, not so much.

Super Bowl

I am bypassing the customary shindig this year.

Yesteryear, the interest was luke warm.

I'm going to my dad's to watch it and eat my share of bean dip.

Don't hesitate to give me a call if you want to stop by...and meet his three dogs (they can be intimidating but they are really nice).

Go Pats...or Giants...or Cubs...who's playing?

Bon Jovi.
