     Did my seasonal house cleaning which is the only time I really clean out my living space. Dont even clean the rest of the rooms, just the ones I use, kitchen, den and bath. It's kinda like clean out my mind as well, I let things lay about where ever they're last used, or pile them up for future sorting and filing. Gets really bad sometimes, 18 months of bills and checks and stuff to file away.
     Got told at my job week ago Wednesday that there was nothing else for me to work on. So now I'm out of a job again. It takes something like that to make me clean house too. Some major change in life and I start cleaning my mind up, for a new start I suppose, more like something to do just to keep busy. I'll be back in my do nothing, what's the use of trying mode for next few weeks I guess.
     Anyway, the living space is cleaned and awaiting another few months of cluttered life to gather again.

     Whoa!!
     Started this webpage yesterday, thought of that old LogBook, went into the back bedroom and got it out of my boxed up life. Weird it is, reading something you yourself wrote and have forgotten about for a decade or so. I had to stop typing it into this webpage. I didnt feel like I could do this project.
     Laid on my sofa where I sleep and read the first 30 days of entries in the LogBook last night. Yes, I will reveal my past life to the world, least those of you who find this website and these webpages. But it's not going be the minute by minute replay, that was just my first style of the Journal. It is kinda kewl that I can look at a day in my life like that and read what I did and when during that day. I'll just pick out the significant events from now on, BackTracking Through My Mind.
     A thought or two from the most recent past for now.
     I cant stand to listen to the news media anymore and yes I have listened for a long, long time. I remember Huntley Brinkley reports from the fifties, when news reports was only 15 minutes long.
     It's kinda of a combination of things, the news media, politics, government, laws. It's all just too upsetting, not cause of the content but cause its all a plot to drive us common folk insane.
     Out in California the Los Angeles District Attonery defended his practice of collecting monies for child support from the fathers. Yeah they do need to be responsible but this was about taking (stealing really) money from a responsible father and giving to children not his own. The government never can admit to the injustices it causes in some cases. I got so mad I shouted at the LA DA on the tube and turned him off.
     It's just down right spooky the way bad government officials can screw up innocent peoples lives. And they still expect *respect of the law* from us. Yeah, sure, when they admit they screwed up themselves.
