doors are horribly ironic. really they seem underappreciated dont they? most people dont even notice them, and if they do, its because they pose an obstacle to their destination. so usually people are pissed at doors. think though, doors are usually the only entrance or exit to a room. they are the way into confinement or the path to freedom. and yet... the door never enjoys any of these freedoms. it is usually bolted to a frame, shackled, tied to its tree like a dog. being the entrance, it never gets to enter the room. being the exit, it never gets to leave. just swinging in a quarter circle over and over again. locked and unlocked, opened and closed, slammed and blown open by the wind... a door can be security, a window, an obstacle... ever walked in a door showroom with all the doors sitting out for all to see? worthless arent they? serving no point at all. you can walk around them and feel them just laying there dead. its sad really...

driving down a country highway... at night... stars out... cool breeze... windows and sunroof down... loud smooth lovely music... speed limits 55 or something... its ok cause im going 65... my dad hit some deer there with the 'deer hunter' truck... (6 and counting)... im not scared... brights on... nobody around... aura of light over the city illuminates the cows in the pond... others chew cud or eat grass in the light of the moon... house lights are off... im alone... pure bliss and a lovely night...

all news is bad news. you see the newscasters on commercials advertising their news program. they smile, laugh, cover stories of kids and easter egg hunts, awards given, someones life being saved, a record being set etc... you flip to the news and the top story of the hour is on. family slaughtered in drive-by... high speed chase ends in tragedy... drunk driver kills family of 3... fire engulfs home in suburbia... crime rates are up... another execution this week... ... does anyone else find this sad, that all news is bad news? "why dont the newscasters cry when they read about people who die? at least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eye..."

as you can see, ive added a counter to the page. its more for my amusement since i guess you dont really care how many people see this page. i know i wont get that many hits and ive added it really late (it started aug 30 last year) so i dont know just how many i have but thats ok. so thanks for reading.

p.s. if you dont go to rchs or i dont know you read my stuff all the time, give me an email. the link is under the writing. just your name, hometown, state, comments... i really dont care. im no stalker or anything, i wont track you or search for you. ill probably forget it as soon as i read it. its just nice to know who out theres watching. thanks a lot everyone!!
