Wah. I have a headache. And on Bullet Sunday too.

• Arbitrary. There is right and there is wrong and there is that murky gray area in-between. And yet, it is all a matter of perspective. Where lines are drawn and on which side things are placed is entirely dependent upon the person in question. And that's okay. I understand that, I accept that. But when people define their lines in one breath... then move them to suit their situation in the next... I call bullshit. Moral high ground affords a terrific view, but it's lonely up there when nobody will stand by your hypocritical ass.

• Clarification. No, that wasn't about you.

• Foggy. There's a lot of fog out tonight. I do not like fog...

• Sullified. Thanks to Dan, I now have Sully both at home and at work. My new Sully is very cool because he comes with his own Mike Wazowski...

• Experienced. Memes, once the backbones of most every blog on the internet, have been dying a slow death. I did a grand total of six last year, and half of those were in the first quarter. But every once in a while they pop up, so I thought I'd jump on the "Have You Experienced..." meme which I first saw at Badger Meets World, then again at Anyhoo... As always, to spare the meme-haters out there, I've dropped it in an extended entry.

Now back to a very busy week, already in progress...

1. ✔ Started your own blog. Well that's kind of a silly question, isn't it?
2. ✔ Slept under the stars. While camping. Which is about the only part of camping I don't hate.
3. ✔ Played in a band. I played Clarinet and Saxophone in school band.
4. ✔ Visited Hawaii. Many times. I love the place.
5. ✔ Watched a meteor shower. I used to be an astronomy lover and actually sought them out.
6. ✔ Been to Disneyland/World. Both. Many, many times.
7. ✔ Climbed a mountain. And didn't enjoy it.
8. ✔ Held a praying mantis. His name was Jake. These are one of the creepiest bugs ever.
9. ✔ Sang a solo. While singing karaoke, which I suppose is the point.
10. ✔ Bungee jumped. Was more thrilling than parasailing, but less thrilling than skydiving.
11. ✔ Visited Paris. And love it.
12. ✔ Watched a lightning storm at sea. Though I watched it from shore in Maui.
13. ✔ Taught yourself an art from scratch. I'm self-taught in most things, actually.
14. Adopted a child. Seriously... who would let me adopt a child?
15. ✔ Had food poisoning. A few times. The most memorable time gave me diarrhea and had me puking for three days straight.
16. ✔ Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty. Twice. Though it's more of a climb than a walk.
17. ✔ Grown your own vegetables. My family had a garden when I was young.
18. ✔ Seen the Mona Lisa in France. As opposed to the Mona Lisa in Tijuana?
19. ✔ Slept on an overnight train. I was told that this was an awesome idea because it's cheaper than a hotel and you don't waste time traveling in daylight hours. I was absolutely miserable, and have never done it again. Unless I can afford a private sleeper car, I probably won't ever do it again.
20. ✔ Had a pillow fight. She started it.
21. ✔ Hitchhiked. After I rolled my motorcycle into some gravel, I couldn't ride it back to my friend's house, so I had to bum a ride back from a sympathetic stranger I flagged down.
22. ✔ Taken a sick day when you're not ill. We're allowed to take sick days to tend to ill family members, get dental check-ups, and the like. Good thing, because I rarely take sick days for being ill otherwise. It's been years since my last one.
23. ✔ Built a snow fort.When I was young, this was a common activity because we would get three to four feet of snow. Global warming kind of fucked that up.
24. ✔ Held a lamb. And did a bad job of it because I was trying to be too gentle. Hey, it was a lamb.
25. ✔ Gone skinny dipping. The best place is the ocean while in Maui at sunset.
26. Run a Marathon. Not even if you paid me. Well, maybe if you paid me a lot.
27. Ridden in a gondola in Venice. It was raining when I had the opportunity, so I passed on it.
28. ✔ Seen a total eclipse. It was a big deal when I was in middle school.
29. ✔ Watched a sunrise or sunset. Best sunsets are in Hawaii or Bali. Best sunrise is on top of Mt. Haleakala in Maui. Here's why.
30. Hit a home run. You're talking baseball, right?
31. ✔ Been on a cruise.I don't particularly enjoy them, but some areas of the world are best seen while cruising.
32. ✔ Seen Niagara Falls in person. From both the US and Canada sides.
33. ✔ Visited the birthplace of your ancestors. On both sides of the family... pretty much England, Germany, and The Netherlands.
34. ✔ Seen an Amish community. I drove through Lancaster in Pennsylvania.
35. ✔ Taught yourself a new language. Several. The fact I haven't retained them is a real bummer for me.
36. ✔ Had enough money to be truly satisfied. Unfortunately, it never lasts very long.
37. ✔ Seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person. But didn't get one of those cheesy photos where it looks like I'm holding it up. Go figure.
38. ✔ Gone rock climbing And was terrified out of my mind.
39. ✔ Seen Michelangelo's David. And it was as amazing as I always dreamed it would be.
40. ✔ Sung karaoke. It's mandatory in Japan. Though my infamous karaoke accident was in Stockholm.
41. Seen Old Faithful geyser erupt. Believe it or not, I have never been to Yellowstone.
42. ✔ Bought a stranger a meal in a restaurant. I bought it at a restaurant and got it "to go" so I could give it to him.
43. ✔ Visited Africa. Egypt counts, right?
44. ✔ Walked on a beach by moonlight. Many, many times. I love the beach and would live there if I could afford it.
45. ✔ Been transported in an ambulance. But not because of an injury. It was at a parade.
46. ✔ Had your portrait painted. But fully clothed.
47. ✔ Gone deep sea fishing. Though I didn't actually fish.
48. ✔ Seen the Sistine Chapel in person. And, yes, it's as amazing as I was led to believe.
49. ✔ Been to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Well, not the VERY top, but as high as you can go as a tourist.
50. ✔ Gone scuba diving or snorkeling. Both. I'm a certified PADI diver, but haven't actually been diving in years.
51. ✔ Kissed in the rain. And, sadly, lived to regret it.
52. ✔ Played in the mud. Both intentionally and unintentionally.
53. ✔ Gone to a drive-in theater. Quite a few times as a youngster.
54. ✔ Been in a movie. It was a home movie, but yes.
55. ✔ Visited the Great Wall of China. A dream come true.
56. ✔ Started a business. Two of them, actually.
57. ✔ Taken a martial arts class. But it wasn't karate or anything cool.
58. Visited Russia. But heaven only knows I want to. Badly.
59. Served at a soup kitchen. Not that I wouldn't if the opportunity presented itself. I would be honored.
60. ✔ Sold Girl Scout Cookies. Since I can never be a Girl Scout, I am totally counting the time I took a co-worker's daughter's sign-up sheet around to my other co-workers.
61. ✔ Gone whale watching. Whales love Maui.
62. ✔ Gotten flowers for no reason. Though, in retrospect, I think it was probably a mistake.
63. ✔ Donated blood, platelets, or plasma. Just once. I can't do it anymore thanks to the fucked up state of my health. Note to self: No more drug trials.
64. ✔ Gone sky diving. Which I find surprisingly relaxing, despite my fear of heights.
65. ✔ Visited a Nazi Concentration Camp. Sadly, The Warsaw Ghetto could be considered one giant concentration camp when the Nazis occupied Poland in WWII.
66. ✔ Bounced a check. But only because my direct deposit failed.
67. ✔ Flown in a helicopter. As a tourist in Maui, Kauai, San Francisco, and The Grand Canyon.

69. ✔ Visited the Lincoln Memorial. During a record-setting heat-wave in DC.
70. ✔ Eaten Caviar. At a food fair before I turned vegetarian. I hated it.
71. ✔ Pieced a quilt. I've made a block piece for a quilt, if that's what you mean.
72. ✔ Stood in Times Square. Which I love.
73. ✔ Toured the Everglades. Which was kind of boring.
74. Been fired from a job. Not fired, per-se, but I have been laid-off.

76. Broken a bone. And, kock-wood, I never will.
77. ✔ Been on a speeding motorcycle. Which I was driving myself. Yee-haaaawww!

88. ✔ Saved someone's life. And had somebody save mine.
89. ✔ Sat on a jury. And hated every fucking minute of it. BOTH TIMES. If there's TRULY any justice, I will never serve jury duty ever again.

92. ✔ Lost a loved one.
