- Last Sunday marked one month since I met my baby! We weren’t able to be together but we talked a lot on the phone... definitely not as good as being there with him but better than nothing. I’ve had so much fun with him over the past month... just being around him or hearing his voice brightens my day. Yes, I think I’ve fallen in love!! It kills me that we can’t be together as much as we want, but right now it’s just not possible due to so many things… that problem may be solved later this month though and it can’t be solved soon enough!!
- The parents are slowly making progress. They’ve gotten to the point where I can go visit the bf without having to make up some elaborate plan. My dad actually seems to be further along than my mom. I get a lecture from her every time I go, but my dad just wants to know when I’ll be home and that’s usually it. Both seem to have taken a sort of I-don’t-care-anymore attitude with me which – to be completely honest – doesn’t bother me in the least bit. Hopefully, I will be able to move in with the bf this month… and they’ll be left all alone after having a full house for over 20 years. What will they do?
Yes, all of this has driven a wedge in our relationship. All of the bullshit they’ve dumped on me and continue to do so (albeit in smaller amounts now) has done nothing but push me farther away and actually cause me to despise them at times. There’s still bucket loads of tension among us especially since my brother has completely moved out and I’m the only other human interaction available around the house most of the time. ‘It’ is never talked about until I go visit my baby and is never discussed after I get back home either. Oh well.
- Today was my last day of class!! Finals are next week. Another semester down! I’m almost half way through now and I’m finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel… it sho as hell lookin’ good too!
- And finally – when you’re out driving, be sure to look out for motorcycles too!

You Can Hammer My Nail
Sunny, barely a cloud in the sky, with a nice cool breeze… the perfect spring day!Honey, I got roasted today! I needed it though… I’m still all white and pasty from winter.
I had to help my dad rebuild our car shed. I would have tried to get out of it somehow, but being that my car (out of the five others) gets the privilege of parking under said car shed, I couldn’t easily weasel my way out. Besides, the rebuilt car shed increases the width of my spot by 6”… and these 6” are very welcomed! (Hehe! you know what I’m thinking!!) I’m not sure how I nailed that spot – my brother never got it – but I’ve had it since I’ve had a set of wheels. Charm? Luck? The favorite?!
That had me out at 10 this morning (had to catch up on my sleep first) all the way until about 5 this evening doing various things ranging from fetching tools to holding boards to pecking at nails with a hammer. Speaking of hammering, well, it’s just sad. I’m ambidextrous which totally blows my mind when I pick up a hammer. Which hand??? It doesn’t feel right in either of them!! I usually end up constantly swapping hands… but that’s neat… I’m just talented like that! Well, maybe not! The little bit of coordination I have vanishes when I hold a hammer. No matter what hand it's in I still can’t hit the damn nail! And all the while, my dad’s over there going crazy with a hammer… I’m still sitting there missing the nail over half the time. Eventually, he’ll feel sorry for his coordination-challenged son (or just get frustrated) and assign me a different, simpler task like figuring out what how much needs to be cut off a board or getting something level… I can handle that. I try though, I really do.
And hey, I finally got to put my hideous carpenter jeans to good use!! I hate those jeans – they make me look fat – but today I slid a hammer into the little loop my left pants leg. I felt so masculine!! Even though I couldn’t actually do much with the hammer, it still made me feel all tingly inside to have the handle banging against my leg as I walked (or was that something else?)! I think I may start to wear them more often… accessorized, of course, with some cute but manly hammer… ya know, in case I need it sometime! ;)
I’m just more of a wrench guy than a hammer guy though. Any idiot can use a wrench but only the skilled can use a hammer… and I don’t fall into that category.

This Just In
Recent news reports out of Louisiana indicate that SlyD, widely considered to be the frontrunner for the stump-jumping event in the Redneck Olympics, has suffered a fall while training for the upcoming contest. Those present at the scene when the incident occurred report that D seemed to have hit the top of the stump wrong which messed up his landing. D is said to have stumbled over his own feet upon landing and skidded to a stop on the ground after falling. Scraps and scratches were visible on D’s arms and knees and some present report seeing D rubbing the right side of his hip. After getting up from his fall, D was said to have limped away but returned shortly after to continue his training even with an obvious limp. It’s unclear at this time whether or not this will affect D’s performance at the Redneck Olympics this summer.-- -- -- -- --
Now for the serious part, I received word today that my cousin has been skipping school and is considering dropping out. He’s been sly with it too (does that run in the family?) as he drives his truck to school then somehow leaves campus with his truck still there. Huh. Not sly enough since he got caught…
He’s a senior in high school too… yes, two months left and he wants to drop out! Something has to be going on to have caused this sudden change. The last time I talk with him at Christmas everything seemed to be going fine. I’m thinking someone’s threatening him or he’s failing and afraid of having to repeat the 12th grade.
I’m going to call my aunt tomorrow to see if she thinks me talking to him would help. He always confided in me when I was in high school and saw him everyday. He treated me like a big brother. He trusted me not to tell anyone what he tells me and I’ve kept my end of the deal. I’m hoping that will help and he’ll listen to me better than he does his parents.

Country Queer
In case you didn't believe me when I said I was country, today I was recruited by my dad to camouflage his recently built deer stand. He handed me two spray cans – one black and the other olive – and points to the already gray deer stand.
Black and olive? Honey, we need more color than that if you want this thing to look good!!
He tells me to paint “trees and limbs on it or something.” I was thinking “or something.” As long as there’s contrasting colors, it would be good he said.
Now let me say I don’t really know the first thing about what deer want to see on a deer stand or about deer hunting in general… well except you get up before the sun rises and get all dressed up in camo (why? you're going to be in the deer stand) only to sit in said deer stand and freeze your ass off while you wait for a deer to walk out and that’s not guaranteed to happen. Not my cup of tea.
One time, my dad thought he could turn me on to hunting (maybe man me up a little?). He found out real quick that my mouth was not well suited for deer hunting – hell, any hunting – as my constant bitching about everything eventually got me kicked out of the stand and headed home on the trail leading out of the woods. He never tried again, but I have had to help find (which in my terms means just wandering around in the woods looking for nothing really but I look like I’m looking for something) multiple deer my dad, brother or uncle have killed and drag them out of the woods.
So back to painting the deer stand – he paints a few examples for me then lets me loose on it. Mistake maybe? Hmm…
I took the cans – one in each hand – and went crazy on the damn thing! I mostly made curving lines on it but threw in a few straight vertical lines just to see how it would look (not very good). I made little touches on it like making sure the lines wrapped around the corner of the deer stand and turning the spray cans at an angle to create a neat feathered look. My dad came around at one point as I was making the final touches on one side and noted it didn’t have to be perfect. Hey, you picked the gay child to do this!! Oh wait, he may not know.
After finishing all four sides and making one last sweep around the whole thing, I stood back and marveled at my work. I thought it looked *fabulous*!! Well as fabulous as a deer stand can look.
And I know you’re dying to see it, so I snapped a few pictures before we loaded it into my (why?) truck. Here ya go…
I see now that I missed a few spots! Oh well, none of the deer will notice… unless they’re gay too! =)
Now if only he wanted the interior decorated...

100 on the 100th
Well, it’s my 100th post!! And what better to do on the 100th than to go fu… I mean, post 100 things about me!!!
Yeah, I know you’re probably rolling your eyes now, but I just couldn’t resist! =)
So maybe you’ll learn a little bit about the SlyD that you never knew before! I have a tendency to repeat myself at times though, so some stuff may have been mentioned before but just act like you’ve hearing it for the first time, ok? And it’s taken me almost two months to come up with 100 things!! Has my life been that boring?? Maybe. That or I just have a huge problem with procrastinating (or both). Anyway with all that said, please keep all hands, arms, and legs inside the post and remain… ok, I’ll shut up and just get on with it!
1. Sly (like a fox!) because all through my life, that’s what people have said about me (sometimes in a good way, sometimes not) plus it sounds really neat!
2. And the D in both SlyD and D-Tour is the initial for my first name. I bet you never would have guessed that!!
3. Born, raised and still living in Louisiana. No escape seems to be in sight either!
4. Despite living in Louisiana, I am by no means a Cajun… I’m a yankee Louisianan thus I’m just country.
5. I’ve never been farther south in the state than Baton Rouge. Those Cajuns scare the crap out of me so I don’t go too far down there much! =) I'm just kidding!
6. Yes, I have a thick country accent.
7. And I often try to hide it but I’ve found that it’s impossible!
8. I’m a Pisces but just barely. Some places have me as an Aries (Blogger does in fact – see profile), but I seem to fit the Pisces mold much better.
9. 19 at the time of this post and now if you put two and two together from the information in #8, you can figure out when I’ll be turning 20. I expect gifts! =)
10. I’m still a virgin… however I’m hoping to change that very soon. We’ll see!
11. Youngest of my parents’ two children (both boys)
12. College student, majoring in marketing as of this moment
13. I was originally going to attend a different college and major in mechanical engineering (I was actually a Tech Bulldog for about a month). I wanted to design roller coasters or do something with cars. Things changed during the summer before my first semester and I ended up going to the college I’m at now and majoring in physics instead (and later changing to marketing of course).
14. Prefer jeans, a t-shirt, and a good pair of tennis shoes to any other form of dress (yes even no dress). Revoke my gay license if you must but I’m no fashionista so I’m sure I commit fashion crimes everyday. I enjoy doing it too!! Whatcha gonna do about it?
15. Don’t know how to swim
16. Do know how to drive a stick
17. Never flown on a plane
18. Can’t sing to save my life
19. Favorite colors are yellow-orange (or is it orange-yellow?) followed by blue then gray
20. I usually do my best work late at night (get your mind out of the gutter!)
21. I’m a morning person too… well, sort of. Once I’m out of bed (that however is a fate all by itself), I’m usually awake, slightly smiling, and ready to get going with my day but a little bitchy at the same time. I will snap easily in the morning though which is why I try to limit my interactions with others during that time! Thankfully, I’m usually the only one home when I get up! That is also why I usually don’t reply to emails or leave comments on anyone’s blogs in the morning. I’m a much nicer person in the evening… which I guess contradicts me saying I’m a morning person! Oh well!
22. I don’t like coffee! Yuck!
23. I would die without my sweet tea though!!!
24. Left-handed but I don’t hook (much) and I’m ambidextrous. I only write and hold a fork, spoon, etc with my left hand, otherwise I’m a rightie. Of course, there are some activities where I can use either hand! ;-) My mom has told me that when I was just a little bitty SlyD my grandparents had wanted her to make sure I was right handed (some old stigma with all that), so my mom did an experiment to see if she should do that or not. She had a lock and put the key in my right hand. I totally missed the hole. She put it in my left hand and I nailed it on the first try. So here I sit today a leftie!
25. I’m a very laid-back person. Chances are you won’t make me angry. I’m probably much more likely to make you angry than you are to make me angry, believe me.
26. I can probably whoop your ass in Rook and a number of other card games
27. But I don’t know how to play Poker
28. Drive a bleen ’06 Pontiac Grand Prix (love it!) and a light blue ’85 Chevy C10 (350 V8… vroom!)
29. Have a bad habit of playing with the antenna on my cell phone especially when it’s on speakerphone (thus making a very loud thumping noise on the other end… sorry!!)
30. Attend church regularly but not overly religious
31. Fascinated by old-school church hymns though. They are just beautiful in the way they are written and composed! Some of my favorites include I’ll Fly Away, Amazing Grace, Just A Little Talk With Jesus, and When The Morning Comes.
32. I’m a total car nut. My favorite car is a tie between a ’69 Mustang Boss 302 and a ’70 Mustang Mach 1, all in Grabber Orange (that’s the yellow-orange color from #18).
33. I know my way around a car engine enough to know what’s wrong with it most of the time if something breaks. Fixing it is a whole ‘nother story though.
34. My first kiss (on the cheek) was from a girl in preschool at the ripe old age of four
35. I’ve never had a real kiss from anyone though.
36. I then “dated” another girl in preschool – we would hold hands on the playground and I even gave her a plastic troll ring (wasn’t I romantic?) and went to her house a few times. Big pimpin!! Of course at her house, I was more interested in playing with her dolls and tea sets!
37. That’s the only girl I’ve ever dated… if you even want to call it that. I couldn’t bring myself to date any other girls, even just to squash any suspicions. Even though in high school I hadn’t really come out to myself, I still knew inside that I was gay and I just couldn’t do that to any of the girls.
38. When I was young, my mom brought me out of church to spank me because I was being loud. As we both walked back in, I belted out with “THAT DIDN’T HURT ANY!!!” We turned right around and went back outside… it hurt that time!
39. I’m slowly learning to play the guitar… very slowly
40. Love riding roller coasters! I can ride any roller coaster with no problems but put me on a ride that spins or swings back and forth and I’ll hurl!
41. My favorite coaster is Shockwave at Six Flags Over Texas (only in the back seat, the front sucks)
42. My nicknames in junior high: Fag, Faggot, Queer, Homo, Asshole, and Bitch (I loved you guys!! Hope I'm not leaving any out!)
43. My nicknames in high school: D, Big D, D-Money, and Professor
44. First full-fledged crush was in junior high. He was a sophomore if I remember correctly. And I don’t know what I was thinking!! My tastes have clearly changed (a lot) since then.
45. Have a habit of twirling my hair when I’m stressed
46. I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I put a perm in my hair every so often! It smells to high heaven, but it makes my hair straighter, more manageable, and softer. Without the occasional perm, my hair is out of control. Maybe I should start my own hair salon!! Ugh, maybe not. =)
47. I usually walk really fast. When I go anywhere with my friends, they are commonly yelling at me from about 20 yards behind me to stop and let them catch up.
48. I’ve been told I look like David Duchovny. I almost laughed in the woman’s face who told me this… I mean he doesn’t look bad (used to have a crush on him), but I don’t think I look anything like him!
49. I’m one of the quietest people you will ever met in your life… until I get to know you then you just can’t shut me up! I’ve always been categorized as the shy, quiet type. Anyone who really knows me knows that is anything but the case.
50. Several people have thought I’m older than I really am… that could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.
51. I’ve been told by many people that I am mature for my age. It’s up to you to decide if that’s the case or not, but I guess it could be true. Various things during junior high forced me to grow up quickly, maybe too quickly.
52. I would love to have one of these and these and these! You know my birthday is coming up soon!! ;-)
53. To relieve stress, I either hop on the 4-wheeler and go get covered in mud or go for a drive down some curvy country backroad! Try it some time! It really works!
54. I have two dogs – one bitch of a dachshund (love her though!) and a bow-legged “deer” chihuahua (most retarded-looking dog I’ve ever seen)
55. In the past, I’ve had several rabbits (including the super laid back “drunk bunny”), about thirty different kinds of fish (catfish always tasted the best though *grin*), four flying squirrels, a smelly guinea pig, countless dogs, a kitten I adopted from my grandma, a few chickens (including the rooster that used to chase me around the house), some ducks, a couple of pigs, a turtle or two, a hermit crab (so much fun!!), some hamsters who broke out of their tube thing, several birds, an assortment of bugs, and a few snakes (though they were not pets).
56. I am a huge smart ass. There, I admit! It’s a defense mechanism gone all wrong. What started in junior high as a way to ward off any bullies has cost me a few friends over the years. I’m trying to change but it’s not an easy process. Making it even tougher is that I have a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor and that plays so well into it. My friends think it’s funny at times, but I know I can be a little harsh and possibly hurt someone’s feelings. I don’t like doing that – I know how it feels.
57. I’ve never been much of a sports guy, but I would like to try soccer someday.
58. I absolutely love to travel and go to new places (or even old places if they’re really fun).
59. I want to go to Europe at some point in my life.
60. I want to go drag racing as well!! On the track, not the street (I’ve sort of done that already). I need something fast though so I don’t get my ass handed to me by everything out there.
61. I came so close to getting a ‘72 Chevelle as my first car! So close!! It had a 350 and was an automatic. Dark blue with black stripes. It sold before we could get it. It’s probably good I didn’t get it though! I might not be here today if I had!!
62. Love to go camping… I’m talking two-miles-back-in-the-lake-swamp-on-
someone’s-hunting-lease-where-there’s-wild-hogs-on-the-loose-and-no-cell-
phone-service camping… but just camping at a state/national park is fine with me too!
63. I once flipped my mom the bird after watching the Beverly Hillbillies (the movie)… I was young! I didn’t know what it meant! Needless to say, we had a little talk after that incident.
64. It was a major event the first time I said “butt” and it’s taken almost 19 years for the words “crap” and “dang” to become acceptable in our house. You should hear my broken speech as I stutter trying to think of alternates for, umm… select words.
65. I never had the birds and the bees talk with my parents. I learned all of it from the best source imaginable – junior high kids. I’m still recovering!
66. My dad once set an old chair on fire and my entire family came out to watch it burn! We hated the damn thing. I'll say what you're thinking - my family is redneck. It's true, but what can ya do about it?
67. My parents and I have – for the most part – gotten along very well over the years… those chair burnings really bring a family together!!
68. My mom is the greatest person I know. She’s always been there for me both as a parent and as a friend. Love you mom!
69. My brother ran me over with a go-kart when I was little.
70. He also hit me right above my left eye with a baseball bat.
71. I hit him on the forehead with a golf club at a putt-putt golf place while we were on vacation in Arkansas.
72. The baseball bat sent me to the hospital and left a scar. The golf club just left a small bump that went away in two days… totally unfair! By the way, the go-kart left dirty tire marks on me but otherwise I was fine!
73. In high school, I was usually seen as the goodie-goodie. This means everyone wanted to see me get laid (I was wanting it in a slightly different way than they were wanting it to happen though), get shit drunk, pass out from drinking and let everyone take pictures just to prove that they got me drunk, get in a knock-out drag-out fight, get in a cussing match with anyone (preferably a teacher), get caught cheating, fail a class, get a day of suspension, do a burnout in the parking lot, leave campus during school time (and get caught), and many other, much worse things than that. They all let me know about it too! Was that supposed to convince me to do it? It didn’t work. None of that ever happened. Some came close though! =)
74. Our senior class prank in high school was supposed to be releasing several chickens in the main hall of the high school building with senior ’06 tags (we were ’05) on their legs on the juniors’ self-appointed skip day. We had it planned out perfectly even down to who wasn’t coming to school that day (the people who would be releasing the chickens) so that no one would suspect it was us who did it. Then, some bitch had to go tell on us! Needless to say, she was not popular with our class after that!!
75. We never did a senior prank… =(
76. I didn’t go to our senior skip day. Lame, I know, but I was feeling sick and being out on the lake wouldn’t have helped any. So I went to school instead. I had fun!! No one else was there so we (me and three other seniors) just did whatever we wanted. My math teacher and I kicked the asses of AG and my English teacher in Rook (I’m borderline obsessed with that game if you haven’t noticed yet)!
77. I can think of at least six girls who I was rumored to be dating in high school, including AP, N, the Corvette girl, and the tampon thrower! Oh and then there’s was my stalker in high school! She fell in love with me on a school trip!! She barely even knew me but she was one determined little bitch! I bet she had built a little shrine for me like Helga had for Arnold on Hey Arnold!! I’m showing my young age with that, aren’t I?
78. The most fun I’ve ever had on a trip was when a group from my high school went to San Antonio. Yeah, a big group of naïve country kids dumped out in downtown… we didn’t even know how a crosswalk worked! You should have seen us! When the light started blinking, we all got scared and just ran the rest of the way across the road (some were screaming too). What? We didn’t have crosswalks back at home! Hell, we barely even had a flashing caution light in town!! Needless to say, we all learned a lot about the big city on that trip!
79. The one time I almost got in a fight was at church! It was outside in the parking lot with the grown-ups inside having a prayer meeting (they needed to be praying for us!) while my brother sat on the hood of someone’s car watching us. Punches were never thrown, but we did the circling thing and pushed each other a few times. I don’t remember what it was all about. I’m sure it was something stupid though.
80. Winter is my favorite season. I love cold weather and snuggling up. Spring’s not bad either though, especially the first day of spring! ;-)
81. For my entire high school years, I crossed the line to go to a high school in a different parish. It was a little difficult and I felt a little disconnected (why is this a trend in my life??) but it was so worth it!
82. I was a moderator on a roller coaster message board for over four years before the site tanked. I’m a nerd. I know it. I can admit it. Being 13, it was really fun getting to delete or edit people’s crap just because I was sick of hearing them! I was a nice mod though… except for a massive argument I started then sat back and watched. Oops!!
83. My most embarrassing moment ever happened when I was at Six Flags Over Texas in the summer of 2000 (and feel privileged because I’ve never told anyone this). I was sitting on a bench at the front gate with my cousin when a group of people got my attention and wanted me to take their picture. What did I do? I went to get in the picture with them!!! OH MY GOD!!! I wanted to crawl under a rock and hide after that!! At least those people got a kick out of it and will have something to laugh about for the rest of their lives! I, on the other hand, will have something to look back and cringe about for the rest of my life.
84. The Shy One by B*Witched is my life’s theme song!! Yeah it’s an old teeny-bopper song, but it fits. Go find it (or shoot me an email if you really want to hear it).
85. My favorite type of music is techno/dance. It puts me in a good mood and makes me want to jump around the room doing funky white boy dance moves!
86. However, as of right now, my favorite song is Good Enough (I can’t say no) by Evanescence. I really don’t think I could say no either!
87. I acted in and/or wrote (mainly wrote) several short comedy skits in high school for our local FCCLA chapter. It was so much fun!! I absolutely loved it and would love nothing more that to act in (or maybe write) some skit or small play again some time!
88. I was president of our local FCCLA chapter my senior year of high school. By the way, FCCLA=FHA (Future Homemakers of America). It changed names in the late 90s to be more “male friendly.”
89. I also took home-ec, err… family and consumer sciences classes three out of my four years in high school. Sometimes I took more than one in a year! And I heard it all the time at home from my dad! I would just glare at him without saying a word when he said something about it. I did learn to cook much better (meaning I learned how to turn the oven on!) in one of those classes, thank you very much.
90. I always park in the same parking lot, on the same row, and on the same side of the row on campus everyday. If I didn’t, I would never find my car. I’m such a creature of habit!
91. I talk to myself when I’m alone in my car.
92. I still double tie my shoes.
93. I rock bed head almost every day of the week.
94. In high school, I had a girl ask if I was from the north ‘cause you don’t tawlk like alla’ us do. I just laughed in her face. If you knew how I talk, you would have laughed too.
95. My favorite single digit number is 6. Of all numbers, 78 is my favorite. I don’t know why either. I also prefer evens to odds. I’ve had a few OCD moments over that.
96. I have verbal road rage. Cut me off and I won’t flip you off or try to run you off the road but rest assured nasty words about you will be coming out of my mouth!
97. When I was little, I was intrigued by trains. Thomas the Tank Engine was my favorite show and I remember being glued to the window of my parents’ car when a train would pass on the tracks beside the road leading to town. The weirdest thing about all of this is that my parents have a picture of me from when I was only a few months old. Guess what was on my shirt? A train!! Chew! Chew!
98. Growing up, I never liked my first name. I always preferred my middle name to my first, but everyone knew and called me by my first name (and my full first name at that). One day I built up the courage to tell my parents I wanted to be called by my middle name instead of my first name. They laughed at me. I was serious though. I would actually prefer to just change my name – Wesley but have everyone call me Wes – but I’m not going to do that. I’ve grown into my name over the years, however I prefer N’s shortened verison – D.
99. I’m grabbing for straws here to get to 100!! I’m sure I’ll think of all kinds of things after I post this. So… hmm… if anyone who knows me finds this post, they’ll know who I am. All throughout the life of this blog I’ve tried not to reveal too much about myself in case someone who knows me well enough stumbles onto here. Most of the small details I have leaked might spark some speculation, but it’s never been anything that could solidly link back to me. Now there is. And ya know what? I don’t give a rat’s ass any longer if anyone does find it!
100. And finally (saved this for last!), my 6th grade teacher got me addicted to writing a journal. It started as an assignment at the beginning of the year, but by midterm, we were no longer required to do it. Everyone else stopped, but I still did mine. I kept a journal all through junior high, covering tons of completely useless stuff that filled by 11 year old life. I didn’t write much about myself or my life (mainly out of fear of someone founding it and reading it), but I think what I did write kept me going during those times. In high school, I got a little deeper with my journal writings, but it didn’t last long. I kept a spotty journal through my 10th grade year but not any longer. On August 27th, 2006, I finally returned to writing a journal… you’re reading it right now!
Yeah, I know you’re probably rolling your eyes now, but I just couldn’t resist! =)
So maybe you’ll learn a little bit about the SlyD that you never knew before! I have a tendency to repeat myself at times though, so some stuff may have been mentioned before but just act like you’ve hearing it for the first time, ok? And it’s taken me almost two months to come up with 100 things!! Has my life been that boring?? Maybe. That or I just have a huge problem with procrastinating (or both). Anyway with all that said, please keep all hands, arms, and legs inside the post and remain… ok, I’ll shut up and just get on with it!
1. Sly (like a fox!) because all through my life, that’s what people have said about me (sometimes in a good way, sometimes not) plus it sounds really neat!
2. And the D in both SlyD and D-Tour is the initial for my first name. I bet you never would have guessed that!!
3. Born, raised and still living in Louisiana. No escape seems to be in sight either!
4. Despite living in Louisiana, I am by no means a Cajun… I’m a yankee Louisianan thus I’m just country.
5. I’ve never been farther south in the state than Baton Rouge. Those Cajuns scare the crap out of me so I don’t go too far down there much! =) I'm just kidding!
6. Yes, I have a thick country accent.
7. And I often try to hide it but I’ve found that it’s impossible!
8. I’m a Pisces but just barely. Some places have me as an Aries (Blogger does in fact – see profile), but I seem to fit the Pisces mold much better.
9. 19 at the time of this post and now if you put two and two together from the information in #8, you can figure out when I’ll be turning 20. I expect gifts! =)
10. I’m still a virgin… however I’m hoping to change that very soon. We’ll see!
11. Youngest of my parents’ two children (both boys)
12. College student, majoring in marketing as of this moment
13. I was originally going to attend a different college and major in mechanical engineering (I was actually a Tech Bulldog for about a month). I wanted to design roller coasters or do something with cars. Things changed during the summer before my first semester and I ended up going to the college I’m at now and majoring in physics instead (and later changing to marketing of course).
14. Prefer jeans, a t-shirt, and a good pair of tennis shoes to any other form of dress (yes even no dress). Revoke my gay license if you must but I’m no fashionista so I’m sure I commit fashion crimes everyday. I enjoy doing it too!! Whatcha gonna do about it?
15. Don’t know how to swim
16. Do know how to drive a stick
17. Never flown on a plane
18. Can’t sing to save my life
19. Favorite colors are yellow-orange (or is it orange-yellow?) followed by blue then gray
20. I usually do my best work late at night (get your mind out of the gutter!)
21. I’m a morning person too… well, sort of. Once I’m out of bed (that however is a fate all by itself), I’m usually awake, slightly smiling, and ready to get going with my day but a little bitchy at the same time. I will snap easily in the morning though which is why I try to limit my interactions with others during that time! Thankfully, I’m usually the only one home when I get up! That is also why I usually don’t reply to emails or leave comments on anyone’s blogs in the morning. I’m a much nicer person in the evening… which I guess contradicts me saying I’m a morning person! Oh well!
22. I don’t like coffee! Yuck!
23. I would die without my sweet tea though!!!
24. Left-handed but I don’t hook (much) and I’m ambidextrous. I only write and hold a fork, spoon, etc with my left hand, otherwise I’m a rightie. Of course, there are some activities where I can use either hand! ;-) My mom has told me that when I was just a little bitty SlyD my grandparents had wanted her to make sure I was right handed (some old stigma with all that), so my mom did an experiment to see if she should do that or not. She had a lock and put the key in my right hand. I totally missed the hole. She put it in my left hand and I nailed it on the first try. So here I sit today a leftie!
25. I’m a very laid-back person. Chances are you won’t make me angry. I’m probably much more likely to make you angry than you are to make me angry, believe me.
26. I can probably whoop your ass in Rook and a number of other card games
27. But I don’t know how to play Poker
28. Drive a bleen ’06 Pontiac Grand Prix (love it!) and a light blue ’85 Chevy C10 (350 V8… vroom!)
29. Have a bad habit of playing with the antenna on my cell phone especially when it’s on speakerphone (thus making a very loud thumping noise on the other end… sorry!!)
30. Attend church regularly but not overly religious
31. Fascinated by old-school church hymns though. They are just beautiful in the way they are written and composed! Some of my favorites include I’ll Fly Away, Amazing Grace, Just A Little Talk With Jesus, and When The Morning Comes.
32. I’m a total car nut. My favorite car is a tie between a ’69 Mustang Boss 302 and a ’70 Mustang Mach 1, all in Grabber Orange (that’s the yellow-orange color from #18).
33. I know my way around a car engine enough to know what’s wrong with it most of the time if something breaks. Fixing it is a whole ‘nother story though.
34. My first kiss (on the cheek) was from a girl in preschool at the ripe old age of four
35. I’ve never had a real kiss from anyone though.
36. I then “dated” another girl in preschool – we would hold hands on the playground and I even gave her a plastic troll ring (wasn’t I romantic?) and went to her house a few times. Big pimpin!! Of course at her house, I was more interested in playing with her dolls and tea sets!
37. That’s the only girl I’ve ever dated… if you even want to call it that. I couldn’t bring myself to date any other girls, even just to squash any suspicions. Even though in high school I hadn’t really come out to myself, I still knew inside that I was gay and I just couldn’t do that to any of the girls.
38. When I was young, my mom brought me out of church to spank me because I was being loud. As we both walked back in, I belted out with “THAT DIDN’T HURT ANY!!!” We turned right around and went back outside… it hurt that time!
39. I’m slowly learning to play the guitar… very slowly
40. Love riding roller coasters! I can ride any roller coaster with no problems but put me on a ride that spins or swings back and forth and I’ll hurl!
41. My favorite coaster is Shockwave at Six Flags Over Texas (only in the back seat, the front sucks)
42. My nicknames in junior high: Fag, Faggot, Queer, Homo, Asshole, and Bitch (I loved you guys!! Hope I'm not leaving any out!)
43. My nicknames in high school: D, Big D, D-Money, and Professor
44. First full-fledged crush was in junior high. He was a sophomore if I remember correctly. And I don’t know what I was thinking!! My tastes have clearly changed (a lot) since then.
45. Have a habit of twirling my hair when I’m stressed
46. I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I put a perm in my hair every so often! It smells to high heaven, but it makes my hair straighter, more manageable, and softer. Without the occasional perm, my hair is out of control. Maybe I should start my own hair salon!! Ugh, maybe not. =)
47. I usually walk really fast. When I go anywhere with my friends, they are commonly yelling at me from about 20 yards behind me to stop and let them catch up.
48. I’ve been told I look like David Duchovny. I almost laughed in the woman’s face who told me this… I mean he doesn’t look bad (used to have a crush on him), but I don’t think I look anything like him!
49. I’m one of the quietest people you will ever met in your life… until I get to know you then you just can’t shut me up! I’ve always been categorized as the shy, quiet type. Anyone who really knows me knows that is anything but the case.
50. Several people have thought I’m older than I really am… that could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.
51. I’ve been told by many people that I am mature for my age. It’s up to you to decide if that’s the case or not, but I guess it could be true. Various things during junior high forced me to grow up quickly, maybe too quickly.
52. I would love to have one of these and these and these! You know my birthday is coming up soon!! ;-)
53. To relieve stress, I either hop on the 4-wheeler and go get covered in mud or go for a drive down some curvy country backroad! Try it some time! It really works!
54. I have two dogs – one bitch of a dachshund (love her though!) and a bow-legged “deer” chihuahua (most retarded-looking dog I’ve ever seen)
55. In the past, I’ve had several rabbits (including the super laid back “drunk bunny”), about thirty different kinds of fish (catfish always tasted the best though *grin*), four flying squirrels, a smelly guinea pig, countless dogs, a kitten I adopted from my grandma, a few chickens (including the rooster that used to chase me around the house), some ducks, a couple of pigs, a turtle or two, a hermit crab (so much fun!!), some hamsters who broke out of their tube thing, several birds, an assortment of bugs, and a few snakes (though they were not pets).
56. I am a huge smart ass. There, I admit! It’s a defense mechanism gone all wrong. What started in junior high as a way to ward off any bullies has cost me a few friends over the years. I’m trying to change but it’s not an easy process. Making it even tougher is that I have a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor and that plays so well into it. My friends think it’s funny at times, but I know I can be a little harsh and possibly hurt someone’s feelings. I don’t like doing that – I know how it feels.
57. I’ve never been much of a sports guy, but I would like to try soccer someday.
58. I absolutely love to travel and go to new places (or even old places if they’re really fun).
59. I want to go to Europe at some point in my life.
60. I want to go drag racing as well!! On the track, not the street (I’ve sort of done that already). I need something fast though so I don’t get my ass handed to me by everything out there.
61. I came so close to getting a ‘72 Chevelle as my first car! So close!! It had a 350 and was an automatic. Dark blue with black stripes. It sold before we could get it. It’s probably good I didn’t get it though! I might not be here today if I had!!
62. Love to go camping… I’m talking two-miles-back-in-the-lake-swamp-on-
someone’s-hunting-lease-where-there’s-wild-hogs-on-the-loose-and-no-cell-
phone-service camping… but just camping at a state/national park is fine with me too!
63. I once flipped my mom the bird after watching the Beverly Hillbillies (the movie)… I was young! I didn’t know what it meant! Needless to say, we had a little talk after that incident.
64. It was a major event the first time I said “butt” and it’s taken almost 19 years for the words “crap” and “dang” to become acceptable in our house. You should hear my broken speech as I stutter trying to think of alternates for, umm… select words.
65. I never had the birds and the bees talk with my parents. I learned all of it from the best source imaginable – junior high kids. I’m still recovering!
66. My dad once set an old chair on fire and my entire family came out to watch it burn! We hated the damn thing. I'll say what you're thinking - my family is redneck. It's true, but what can ya do about it?
67. My parents and I have – for the most part – gotten along very well over the years… those chair burnings really bring a family together!!
68. My mom is the greatest person I know. She’s always been there for me both as a parent and as a friend. Love you mom!
69. My brother ran me over with a go-kart when I was little.
70. He also hit me right above my left eye with a baseball bat.
71. I hit him on the forehead with a golf club at a putt-putt golf place while we were on vacation in Arkansas.
72. The baseball bat sent me to the hospital and left a scar. The golf club just left a small bump that went away in two days… totally unfair! By the way, the go-kart left dirty tire marks on me but otherwise I was fine!
73. In high school, I was usually seen as the goodie-goodie. This means everyone wanted to see me get laid (I was wanting it in a slightly different way than they were wanting it to happen though), get shit drunk, pass out from drinking and let everyone take pictures just to prove that they got me drunk, get in a knock-out drag-out fight, get in a cussing match with anyone (preferably a teacher), get caught cheating, fail a class, get a day of suspension, do a burnout in the parking lot, leave campus during school time (and get caught), and many other, much worse things than that. They all let me know about it too! Was that supposed to convince me to do it? It didn’t work. None of that ever happened. Some came close though! =)
74. Our senior class prank in high school was supposed to be releasing several chickens in the main hall of the high school building with senior ’06 tags (we were ’05) on their legs on the juniors’ self-appointed skip day. We had it planned out perfectly even down to who wasn’t coming to school that day (the people who would be releasing the chickens) so that no one would suspect it was us who did it. Then, some bitch had to go tell on us! Needless to say, she was not popular with our class after that!!
75. We never did a senior prank… =(
76. I didn’t go to our senior skip day. Lame, I know, but I was feeling sick and being out on the lake wouldn’t have helped any. So I went to school instead. I had fun!! No one else was there so we (me and three other seniors) just did whatever we wanted. My math teacher and I kicked the asses of AG and my English teacher in Rook (I’m borderline obsessed with that game if you haven’t noticed yet)!
77. I can think of at least six girls who I was rumored to be dating in high school, including AP, N, the Corvette girl, and the tampon thrower! Oh and then there’s was my stalker in high school! She fell in love with me on a school trip!! She barely even knew me but she was one determined little bitch! I bet she had built a little shrine for me like Helga had for Arnold on Hey Arnold!! I’m showing my young age with that, aren’t I?
78. The most fun I’ve ever had on a trip was when a group from my high school went to San Antonio. Yeah, a big group of naïve country kids dumped out in downtown… we didn’t even know how a crosswalk worked! You should have seen us! When the light started blinking, we all got scared and just ran the rest of the way across the road (some were screaming too). What? We didn’t have crosswalks back at home! Hell, we barely even had a flashing caution light in town!! Needless to say, we all learned a lot about the big city on that trip!
79. The one time I almost got in a fight was at church! It was outside in the parking lot with the grown-ups inside having a prayer meeting (they needed to be praying for us!) while my brother sat on the hood of someone’s car watching us. Punches were never thrown, but we did the circling thing and pushed each other a few times. I don’t remember what it was all about. I’m sure it was something stupid though.
80. Winter is my favorite season. I love cold weather and snuggling up. Spring’s not bad either though, especially the first day of spring! ;-)
81. For my entire high school years, I crossed the line to go to a high school in a different parish. It was a little difficult and I felt a little disconnected (why is this a trend in my life??) but it was so worth it!
82. I was a moderator on a roller coaster message board for over four years before the site tanked. I’m a nerd. I know it. I can admit it. Being 13, it was really fun getting to delete or edit people’s crap just because I was sick of hearing them! I was a nice mod though… except for a massive argument I started then sat back and watched. Oops!!
83. My most embarrassing moment ever happened when I was at Six Flags Over Texas in the summer of 2000 (and feel privileged because I’ve never told anyone this). I was sitting on a bench at the front gate with my cousin when a group of people got my attention and wanted me to take their picture. What did I do? I went to get in the picture with them!!! OH MY GOD!!! I wanted to crawl under a rock and hide after that!! At least those people got a kick out of it and will have something to laugh about for the rest of their lives! I, on the other hand, will have something to look back and cringe about for the rest of my life.
84. The Shy One by B*Witched is my life’s theme song!! Yeah it’s an old teeny-bopper song, but it fits. Go find it (or shoot me an email if you really want to hear it).
85. My favorite type of music is techno/dance. It puts me in a good mood and makes me want to jump around the room doing funky white boy dance moves!
86. However, as of right now, my favorite song is Good Enough (I can’t say no) by Evanescence. I really don’t think I could say no either!
87. I acted in and/or wrote (mainly wrote) several short comedy skits in high school for our local FCCLA chapter. It was so much fun!! I absolutely loved it and would love nothing more that to act in (or maybe write) some skit or small play again some time!
88. I was president of our local FCCLA chapter my senior year of high school. By the way, FCCLA=FHA (Future Homemakers of America). It changed names in the late 90s to be more “male friendly.”
89. I also took home-ec, err… family and consumer sciences classes three out of my four years in high school. Sometimes I took more than one in a year! And I heard it all the time at home from my dad! I would just glare at him without saying a word when he said something about it. I did learn to cook much better (meaning I learned how to turn the oven on!) in one of those classes, thank you very much.
90. I always park in the same parking lot, on the same row, and on the same side of the row on campus everyday. If I didn’t, I would never find my car. I’m such a creature of habit!
91. I talk to myself when I’m alone in my car.
92. I still double tie my shoes.
93. I rock bed head almost every day of the week.
94. In high school, I had a girl ask if I was from the north ‘cause you don’t tawlk like alla’ us do. I just laughed in her face. If you knew how I talk, you would have laughed too.
95. My favorite single digit number is 6. Of all numbers, 78 is my favorite. I don’t know why either. I also prefer evens to odds. I’ve had a few OCD moments over that.
96. I have verbal road rage. Cut me off and I won’t flip you off or try to run you off the road but rest assured nasty words about you will be coming out of my mouth!
97. When I was little, I was intrigued by trains. Thomas the Tank Engine was my favorite show and I remember being glued to the window of my parents’ car when a train would pass on the tracks beside the road leading to town. The weirdest thing about all of this is that my parents have a picture of me from when I was only a few months old. Guess what was on my shirt? A train!! Chew! Chew!
98. Growing up, I never liked my first name. I always preferred my middle name to my first, but everyone knew and called me by my first name (and my full first name at that). One day I built up the courage to tell my parents I wanted to be called by my middle name instead of my first name. They laughed at me. I was serious though. I would actually prefer to just change my name – Wesley but have everyone call me Wes – but I’m not going to do that. I’ve grown into my name over the years, however I prefer N’s shortened verison – D.
99. I’m grabbing for straws here to get to 100!! I’m sure I’ll think of all kinds of things after I post this. So… hmm… if anyone who knows me finds this post, they’ll know who I am. All throughout the life of this blog I’ve tried not to reveal too much about myself in case someone who knows me well enough stumbles onto here. Most of the small details I have leaked might spark some speculation, but it’s never been anything that could solidly link back to me. Now there is. And ya know what? I don’t give a rat’s ass any longer if anyone does find it!
100. And finally (saved this for last!), my 6th grade teacher got me addicted to writing a journal. It started as an assignment at the beginning of the year, but by midterm, we were no longer required to do it. Everyone else stopped, but I still did mine. I kept a journal all through junior high, covering tons of completely useless stuff that filled by 11 year old life.

On August 27th, 2006, I finally returned to writing a journal… you’re reading it right now!

Oh! Mr. Madison
Saw this over on a ridiculous raw youth and couldn’t resist doing it too!
Maybe he was a little short, a little moody, a little sickly, but the man had a mind like a steel trap -- all the better for remembering anniversaries or your favorite pizza toppings or what song was playing the moment you first met. He was sensitive and brilliant, and you guys could have stayed up 'til 4 am just talking and talking and talking and never once gotten bored. Even better, he was totally laid back in his relationship -- his wife Dolley was the number one party girl of her time, and he totally let her be herself even though he was more into, well, politics. He was one of those stealth hotties -- the kind where first you're like "Madison? Yeah, he's cool. He's super interesting." Then eventually you're like, "I love that guy. He's my best friend." And then, one day you wake up and you love him to the depths of your soul and can't live without him.

And She’s From Louisiana…
Can somebody tell me what this fool is doing?
Did this happen before or after she checked in only to turn around and check right out of rehab? And why the hell ain’t she in rehab now?
Does she have to be from Louisiana? Do we really have to claim her? And her dim-witted ex?
Gurl, you just need to sit down and stop!! I swear! You makin' Federline look like a shinin' saint. Now quit all yo foolishness and go take care of ya kids, honey.

Randomness With A Splash Of Good And Bad News
I just wanted to say that today has been freaking awesome!! I’ve been alone almost all day (very rare) and had fun every second of it! I popped in my favorite techno CD, striped down to only my boxers, and danced all over the house for half of the day! I can’t dance, but it sure as hell was fun trying!!
I thought about videotaping some of my dancing and posting it on here… that thought didn’t last long. Sorry guys!
I never noticed this before, but I am so much hotter than I thought I was! =) I mean just check out my amazing fashion sense!
While I’m linking to pictures, can anyone think of a good name for my car? I’m drawing a blank and I know ya’ll are a lot more creative than I am. To show how creative I am with names, my truck is simply called The Brick. Genius, I know! Give me a ton of suggestions (you can definitely submit more than one!) and I may have a poll to let you vote for the name!
I got a 97 on my accounting test! Holla!!
AG (a girlfriend): “I wish I had a penis. I would play with it all the time if I did.”
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling, and everytime we kiss, I swear I can fly. Can’t you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last! Need you by my side. Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static, and everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky. Can’t you hear my heart beat slow? I can’t let you go! Want you in my life.
Yeah, I just bought her CD along with a Madonna CD this past week. Next on the list is Barbara Streisand!! ;-)
We’re getting DSL!!! Most likely at least. There are still a few details that need to be worked out first. A few of you know that I’ve been stuck with dial-up because our house is the only one on our road that can’t get DSL. After a call to our local phone line guy, that’s about to change!
-- -- -- -- --
The Good News:
I’m gay! In both interruptions of the word! Just the other day, a friend was talking about how much she hated her life. I was sitting there looking at her and listening to her bitch about everything imaginable while I wondered how anyone could truly hate their life. I love my life!! Yeah, I’ve been depressed and life just seemed to suck at the time, but even at my lowest point, I never hated my life. I’ve still got years ahead of me (hopefully) and I’m not able to sit around sulking while they pass by! So I put a smile on my face, rip my clothes off, and dance! God forbid I ever actually go to a bar and get drunk!! The things I might do…
The Bad News:
After looking up (stalking) tgimhc on MySpace, I… well first let me say I hate MySpace. I just hate it! One reason I hate it is for the very thing I commonly use it for, but mostly I hate it for all the crap people put on there… the songs, the videos, the millions of useless pictures (we don’t have to see the cover of every damn album you own), the colors that clash so bad they make your eyes bleed, the stupid cursors that change when you visit a page, the backgrounds that make it impossible to read anything, and I could keep going on. Maybe it’s just because I have dial-up and all that crap slows the page to a suicidally (is that a word?) slow rate. Now there are some good pages out there, but the bad far outweighs the good. And that’s why I use Facebook for all of my internet social networking needs. They don’t allow html! Thank you Facebook! I do have a very bare MySpace page though. If you really want to add me as a friend, shoot me an email. I’m not going to post a link to it on here. Don’t expect to find out much about me on there however.
So what was I even talking about? Oh yeah, tgimhc. Well, I found out that he is… straight. At least according to his MySpace page, he is. *sigh* Yeah, sucks but he’s still some really good eye candy! On his page, he says his willing to try “just about” anything though! ;-)
Hope ya’ll have a great gay weekend!! Be sure to post some suggestions for a name for my car!
I thought about videotaping some of my dancing and posting it on here… that thought didn’t last long. Sorry guys!

To show how creative I am with names, my truck is simply called The Brick. Genius, I know! Give me a ton of suggestions (you can definitely submit more than one!) and I may have a poll to let you vote for the name!
I got a 97 on my accounting test! Holla!!
AG (a girlfriend): “I wish I had a penis. I would play with it all the time if I did.”
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling, and everytime we kiss, I swear I can fly. Can’t you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last! Need you by my side. Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static, and everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky. Can’t you hear my heart beat slow? I can’t let you go! Want you in my life.
Yeah, I just bought her CD along with a Madonna CD this past week. Next on the list is Barbara Streisand!! ;-)
We’re getting DSL!!! Most likely at least. There are still a few details that need to be worked out first. A few of you know that I’ve been stuck with dial-up because our house is the only one on our road that can’t get DSL. After a call to our local phone line guy, that’s about to change!
-- -- -- -- --
The Good News:
I’m gay! In both interruptions of the word! Just the other day, a friend was talking about how much she hated her life. I was sitting there looking at her and listening to her bitch about everything imaginable while I wondered how anyone could truly hate their life. I love my life!! Yeah, I’ve been depressed and life just seemed to suck at the time, but even at my lowest point, I never hated my life. I’ve still got years ahead of me (hopefully) and I’m not able to sit around sulking while they pass by! So I put a smile on my face, rip my clothes off, and dance! God forbid I ever actually go to a bar and get drunk!! The things I might do…
The Bad News:
After looking up (stalking) tgimhc on MySpace, I… well first let me say I hate MySpace. I just hate it! One reason I hate it is for the very thing I commonly use it for, but mostly I hate it for all the crap people put on there… the songs, the videos, the millions of useless pictures (we don’t have to see the cover of every damn album you own), the colors that clash so bad they make your eyes bleed, the stupid cursors that change when you visit a page, the backgrounds that make it impossible to read anything, and I could keep going on. Maybe it’s just because I have dial-up and all that crap slows the page to a suicidally (is that a word?) slow rate. Now there are some good pages out there, but the bad far outweighs the good. And that’s why I use Facebook for all of my internet social networking needs. They don’t allow html! Thank you Facebook! I do have a very bare MySpace page though. If you really want to add me as a friend, shoot me an email. I’m not going to post a link to it on here. Don’t expect to find out much about me on there however.
So what was I even talking about? Oh yeah, tgimhc. Well, I found out that he is… straight. At least according to his MySpace page, he is. *sigh* Yeah, sucks but he’s still some really good eye candy! On his page, he says his willing to try “just about” anything though! ;-)
Hope ya’ll have a great gay weekend!! Be sure to post some suggestions for a name for my car!

It's Late
And I should know the night I want to go to bed early, I can't sleep. I'm bored. Tired. A little bitchy. Sounds like the normal me! Ok, maybe not... well just scratch the tired and then it'll fit! But check this out...
| You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament |
 Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace. You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions. You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected. It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional. You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others. While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well. At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything. You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams. You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment. |
What Temperment Are You?
These things are so good! Like 95% of the time, they're right. Creepy. But hey, they're enough to entertain me at 2am so I'm cool with it!
As for other things, it's raining outside... or at least it was. We're supposed to have rain all night and into the early parts of tomorrow... I mean today (whatever!). That's good... my car needed to be washed! Too bad it can't clean out the inside, too! My lazy ass'll have to get out there and do that. It's not very bad though, mainly on the driver's side... don't have anybody to ever ride on the passenger side (or to put the rear seats to good use). I will someday though! Yes, I will! =)
Just looking at my checkbook, I actually have over $550 in there! And that's after buying all of my books! Wow... can you say shopping spree? I sure as hell know I can! I need to buy some new clothes, a few books (thanks Lewis!), an MP3 player, and maybe some random crap I really don't need but wouldn't mind having. That'll put a dent in my checking account! I've got to have some self-control though.
Reading back over some of my past posts, I realized I never told ya'll what happened with the friends I was thinking about coming out to. In short, we set up a time... one had to work... the whole thing was called off. Probably a good thing.
Well, I guess that's all for now. Eyes aren't wanting to stay open. I'll get back in bed and see if I can go to sleep. Later!

A Look In The Trash Can
You wouldn’t believe the number of things I’ve typed fully intending to post them, but I never did for one reason or another. Last night (actually early yesterday morning) I typed two posts. One got posted at 1:43am but later deleted by me around 11am. The other was supposed to be posted after I got up in the morning, but I had a change of heart and it never made it up. I thought I would post both of them just to give you a glimpse of what was going on in my mind that night. -- -- -- -- --
[This is the first one I typed and actually posted. It was supposed to set the stage for the second one.]
Title: Depressed, Lonely And Confused
I guess I’m hitting my period again! LOL!
But seriously, the emotions are back. They come and go in waves. And sometimes they last an hour, other times they can last for days. Random things or sometimes seemingly nothing trips them.
I had a friend once tell me in a joking manner that she thought I had emotional problems, though I could tell she wasn’t completely joking. And maybe I do… hell, who am I kidding? I probably do!! These emotions are nothing new. I’ve had them for years now, but they’re only getting stronger as time goes on. I really should get some help before I actually do go crazy!
I’ve looked on my college’s website about their student counseling program. It’s free to all students, but they say if it’s something long-term or too serious they’ll refer you to someone else outside of the college. I’m thinking about setting up an appointment with one of the counselors after the new semester mayhem settles down. They might as well go ahead and refer me to someone though!
-- -- -- -- --
[Here’s the second and more extreme one. Thoughts of closing the D-Tour came as I was typing this.]
Title: Off The D-Tour, Back On The Main Road
I think it’s time I take a break from the D-Tour and maybe the blogging world as a whole. Yes, this blog and others have helped me in so many ways – even in ways I probably don’t notice – and I’ve met some great people along the way too. But, something’s telling me to back off a little. Step back and leave for a while… how long, I don’t know. It may be a few days, a week, a month… I may never come back (doubtful, I love you guys too much!). Mainly, I just need to get away from the computer.
I probably won’t be checking many of your blogs like I normally would. I will still check my email and be on Yahoo and AIM from time to time, but there will probably be very few, if any, new posts from me on here. Feel free to chat though! I’m not trying to isolate myself from any of you… just easing back on the blogging and the time on the computer.
And who knows… this may not even last through the rest of today. I don’t know. I can guarantee you though that if anything really exciting happens (like I talk to tgimhc) I’ll quickly come running back to tell ya’ll! I can’t keep all that juicy stuff to myself, ya know!! =)
So with all that said, I hope you guys have fun and don’t think any of this is against you (it’s not). Talk to ya’ll later!
-The Sliest of Slies, SlyD
-- -- -- -- --
So, there ya go. Me losing my mind. There is some truth to both of these though. I probably will go see a counselor at some point and I am cutting back on my time spent on the computer. Reading back over these, I was surprisingly level-headed and upbeat in them especially considering how shitty I felt that night. I guess I can fake it really good.

Another Try
If you happened to have seen my post from late last night before I deleted it, please ignore what I said. I don’t know what was going on then. Too late and I needed some sleep I guess. I even considered closing down the D-Tour, so I think I was having a little crazy spell!I’m feeling much better now than I was last night. I caught up on the sleep I had lost all this week. Plus, I just got back from going mud riding on the 4-wheeler about an hour ago, and that always leaves me smiling (and this time, with a numb face from the cold)! It had warmed up all of about 5* to reach a grand total of 45* and that was warm enough for me!! Boots, a jacket, some gloves and I was gone into the woods! What is it about hitting mud and water with the 4-wheeler that is so damn fun? Being a country boy?
-- -- -- -- --
I’m wanting to post some sound clips, but I don’t know where I can upload them so I can post them. Is there a site out there that’s the audio equivalent of Youtube? I’ve got them recorded and saved on my computer. I just need a site to put them on so I can post them.
Yea, short post today… I haven’t had anything to say lately. Nothing’s happened!

Boredom
So, I was cruising the Blogthings site since I was really bored. I love finding out things about myself like what kind of a donut I am and what my bathroom habits say about me! But I came upon these and just had to post the results.
First, this. I just thought it was kind of interesting (notice these don't add up to 100%).
And finally, the 2007 car I should be driving.

Then, there’s this. This is so me! I was speechless after I read it. And to think I almost picked a different one!

| Your Personality Profile |
 You are dreamy, peaceful, and young at heart. Optimistic and caring, you tend to see the best in people. You tend to be always smiling - and making others smile. You are shy and intelligent... and a very hard worker. You're also funny, but many people don't see your funny side. Your subtle dry humor leaves your close friends in stitches. |
And finally, the 2007 car I should be driving.

 You don't care how you get there as long as you get there with class. And having a little power doesn't hurt either! |
