Yay. I got new batteries for my camera today. I had to go to my grandma's to wash clothes. She was in great spirit. She is recovering very very well. Aunt Pat and Cousin Toni with her two kids came up from Texas to visit and help take care of her. It was good to see them again although I don't think we said 5 words to each other past hello and good-bye. Cindy Sparks was there with Katie. Mike and Rosemary came to visit and to wish Pop a happy Father's day. They mowed the yard while they were there. I washed clothes and read some Anne McCafferey and nodded to the family folks here and there. Mom cooked a pork roast but it had so much fat in it that it didn't come out right. I cleaned the kitchen and then pulled the pork to use for BBQ. I called Aunt Donna and asked her about renting a small trailer she has. She said it would take a lot of cleaning and work. O Pop has an old truck he wants to sell for $850. I want a truck to put a boat in to go fishing and hunting so I said I would buy it. Not much else happening. My bones are telling me I don't envy having to work so early in the morning.

I had to until 3 today. It was okay I suppose $30 more dollars. I didn't like the loader we had today. He didn't want to be working and was in a sour mood. It showed. The two guys I work with are from Jonesboro. They had to drive home tonight and then come back Monday morning. Jonesboro is 2 hours from here. I have to get batteries for my camera. I tried to take some photos today and it wouldn't even take without the flash.

Got Mead?: Mead Making Equipment
Got Mead?: Mead Making Equipment
I have been intending to sweeten my tea (I really like tea) with honey instead of sugar. I was looking at some websites yesterday about how to make wine out of honey. I had heard of mead but never really know what it was. Now I know.

Another day of work done. I had to go and urinate in a cup for a drug test. Good thing I don't use drugs. I prefer a natural high. Work was ok but it showered and it dampened everyone's spirits including mine. Payday was today but not for me. I'll get mine next friday for the work I did this week.

These are the kind of trailers that I'm pulling. We go over a lot of hills and ditches and sometimes it scares me when I see the trailer leaning so far to one side in my mirror. Today was good. Found out that I have to work Saturday for maybe 1/2 a day. That is good I suppose but on the other hand I wasn't looking at working on Saturday. But still it is $50 more a week.

Spent my first day on the job. Long, hot, and dirty. On a good note there is a ac but no radio. The job is easy. I drive into a dirt pit beside a big backhoe, the loader fills my trailer (a big bucket), I drive to where a bulldozer wants me to drop my dirt, I pull a switch and drive like crazy in 2nd gear (hopefully not getting stuck as the dirt comes out the belly of the trailer), I drive back to the dirt pit and start again. Not a bad way to make $10 an hour. Right easy and I get off at 5:30 for some me time and don't have to work weekends. Work is like a 5 minute drive away. I got photos today but my batteries are down and then I reformated my smart disk and wiped everything off of it. I'll post photos soon. The dirt pit I'm working is will be a catfish pond when we finish. I also will get to fish on Big Creek during lunch if I choose. Nice. Nice. Nice.

I liked MASH the tv show for years and then one day I watched part of the movie where Frank Burns was reading his Bible in his tent and the other docs harassed him until he had to leave. I never realized that Frank was meant to be a Christian and you wouldn't know it from the TV show where he is portrayed as being in an adulterous relationship with the head nurse. I don't like MASH as much now. I love the saving of life and how they stuck together through thick and thin but actually dislike the two main doctors. MASH isn't as cool now as it used to be and had I been there I would have been Frank and the Chaplain's best friends.

I rushed out of the house knocking stone left and right with my shoulders as I hit the door. I had hoped the farmer wouldn�t come in from the fields so soon because I was extremely hungry. Fortunately the farmer was more scared than I and only had a pitchfork to wield. All in all a pitchfork still makes for a handy weapon to poke little holes in a brisket or a backside so I left with much haste.
I made a furlong at full speed casting several looks behind me to see if the farmer was in pursuit. I dodged into the bushes and found a game trail along a watercourse that led in the general direction I was fleeing in.
I was angry with myself. I had accomplished what I set out to do but had been spotted and most villages won�t permit a huge ogre like myself to hang around and steal the occasional lamb or piglet. Luckily this farmer was far enough away from town that he wouldn�t easily get others to leave their work and pursue me for any length of time.
I caught my breath and ambled towards the camp I hoped was still secret and safe. Natalie will be angry with me getting caught and will give me a tongue-lashing. Robert will probably laugh at me and make me feel even worse.
I rounded the cliff face and then climbed the twenty feet or so to the cave that was our shelter.
Natalie immediately knew that something was wrong when I dropped my knapsack by the fire. Scowling she opened the bag and surveyed what my wandering had brought back for our stomachs. There was a ham, a couple of hares, several potatoes, carrots, and cabbage.
Natalie�s scowl cleared a little but I could tell she was still angry. �Kodu, what happened?� she asked.
�I had a run in with the local farmer,� I replied sheepishly.
�Your stomach is going to be the dead of you and will get us caught someday,� Natalie replied irately.
�Natalie, please don�t hassle me. I know I made a mistake. I went to the hen house to catch a chicken or get an egg and then saw that the place was empty. The food was laying out in the open in the kitchen and I grabbed it,� I answered.
�Where is Robert?� I asked.
�Hunting again,� Natalie answered shortly.
�I�m going to go fill up the water buckets and chop some fire wood,� I said. �Besides I�m going to have to keep a lookout for that farmer. He must be pretty mad to find his prime pork and vegetables missing and a huge ogre making a wider opening for his door.�
I grabbed the buckets and headed for the stream nearby to get water as well as to let Natalie calm down again. It seems that I make her more and more mad as the weeks go by.�

Yay. I got me job. I'm going to drive a dirt bucket for a contract company converting a two lane road to a 4 lane road through my home town and up to 20 miles. I'll have photos of my truck tomorrow. I called Mr. Fischer today but he wasn't there. There is a trapper's conference on Petit Jean Mountain in September that I'm going to try to go to. Wow work again. It just opened up my life. Getting my own place, starting a kennel, getting a roomy, trapping this fall. I hope all of it falls into place.

Taking a look at a topo map for possible trapping around my home town of Marvell. Not much around in the way of water. Seems to be a swampy area southeast of town that I'm going to look at tomorrow.

I just listened to the judgements of not-guilty in the Michael Jackson child molestation trial. Now you see the state of affairs of our court system. Obvious testimony of inappropriateness is disregarded by the jurors so that Michael can go free. The ladies covering the case on TV all agreed that the testimony provided was enough to convict Michael but is he convicted...nope. Did he buy his way out as he did with the previous cases against him? God knows as do the jurors and the current victim.

Gen.3
[1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
[2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
[3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
[4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
[5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
[6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
[7] And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
[8] And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
[9] And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
[10] And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
[11] And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
[12] And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
[13] And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
[14] And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
[15] And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
[16] Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
[17] And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
[18] Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
[19] In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
[20] And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
[21] Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
[22] And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
[23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
[24] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
I was thinking of this passage the last several days. It's said that prostitution is the world's oldest profession but I disagree. I would say that farming an orchard is the oldest profession. Then the making of clothes. Next comes war. Next is farming. And then trapping. Surely trapping is in the top ten of the oldest professions from a biblical prospective and has played a huge part in the clothing of man since the garden of eden.

Watched Lord of the Rings Two Towers. I reflected on a post I read on a fellows blog today about the child killing scenes in Star Wars. In my mind I compared them to the scenes in LOR where the children were being dressed for war and given weapons. More and more child killing will creep into Hollywood minds. It's not a new theme coming from Biblical scenes of child massacre to kill the likely hero. It doesn't work but that won't stop it from happening. I thought of how so many people were trying to portray LOR as being Christian. No way no how. God hates magic and magic users and any such display is rebellion to Him. How many times did He warn the Israelites to stay away from astrologers and such? Many. Everyday there is more and more witchcraft and astrology and spell casting on TV, especially in cartoons where it can so easily influence young minds to believe that magic is good. Magic is evil and it costs the user to use it. White magic, good magic, druidism, warlocks, witches, spellcasting, using familiars, using natural items to generate a force, gaia, chi, whatever you want to call it, it's all bad. Probably the best thing to do in this day and age is to severely monitor every program that is watched by yourself and your kids. Me too. I watch way to much of aliens and murders and rapes on TV. It's searing my conscience so that I don't have a resistance against it. A feeling of man that is so wrong and turning the channel or turning off the TV when I see crap that God has said is crap. Remember that we will be responsible for enjoying the sins of others as much as our own sins.

| Slow and Steady |
 They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it. |
This one is definitely not true. I am very impulsive some of the time. For the majority of the time yeah it is true.

I spent the morning putting up neck bones, pork chops, pork roast, turkey wings, and bell peppers. The rest of the time I watched TV. Gladiator is on now. The image is a game I play by Sid Meier called Colonization. It's not a good game as you have to kill the native population to get ahead in the game. A history game based on the US gaining it's independence from England.

I spent the morning BBQ ing some rib slabs. Mom had bought a box of ribs from Denmark and I cooked two of the slabs in the preceding photo. They turned out well. Tasted very very good. I rubbed them with salt, pepper, and seasoned salt and cooked them for around 5 hours. The last hour I brushed on some BBQ sauce. Made for a nice din din.

The fit of conscience I had was that I was downloading games to play and not worrying about the creator's rights. Technically I was stealing what I wanted without compensating the owner. What I'm going to do with the speaking software is evaluate it and if I like it I will trash my copy and buy the original. The same for the games I have already copied. So far I haven't liked any of them. World of Wars was to big for me to use and Guild Wars I couldn't get a working key. Good in a way I guess. I don't want to be a thief and then again I don't want to pay up to $50 a pop for a game that I might not like when I get it running.

I had to reinstall Bitlord on my computer. I had removed it in a fit of conscience while I was cleaning out my lowly 6 GB computer. I want to check into writing a book by speaking into a microphone and having my computer do the actual typing. I can find the cd I need by using ISOHunt (www.isohunt.com) where people have posted an image of a cd (the .iso file) as a torrent file that I can use to download the whole cd image using Bitlord (www.bitlord.com). Once I have the cd image I can burn a full working copy of the cd using any .iso image burner (I have Nero). So the whole process is find what I want at www.isohunt.com. Download a footprint file. Open the footprint file with Bitlord and start the download. Take the image I received at Bitlord and burn my own cd. Then I can delete the footprint and the Bitlord file. There are a lot of different file types that are posted so I usually just focus on .iso files which I know are image files of a particular cd (or dvd).

Saw another advertisement for the new Star Wars movie Revenge of the Sith. It wasn't great. Yes the cinametics were great but the story line had an awful ending. No Jedi would have let a friend burn alive and stand there watching. They should have made the story with the burns being accidental and the Jedi trying to help which would have been more in character. The ending ruined the whole movie for me.

I went to see grandma today. She was recovering well. Hope had flown in from Conneticut and was sitting with her. I called Calark in Little Rock to see if I could get into orientation next week. I don't know how I'll get there since we don't have any money and don't know if they will accept me but I'll try at least. I took mom shopping for meat today. We bought $140 in groceries.

My grandmother is in the hospital. She went to the doctor because she couldn't breathe and had been sick for several days. It ended being severe bronchitis and the doctor put her in the hospital. She can't take sulfur drugs and no one told the doctor so he prescribed some and it made it worse. Grandma is in intensive care now. Me and mom are going to see her in the morning.

There is change on the wind. Must have been a falling star recently. Probably a whole meteor shower. I read a book about a team that cut a road across Ohio that had an Indian along with the crew. They saw a falling star and the Indian said that in his culture it meant that a change was coming. It has stuck with me since then. I guess maybe because I'm part Indian. More so than you can see from the outside perhaps. I'm looking into trucking companies looking to go back to work as a truck driver. I'm not making money sitting here and me and mom are arguing more so it's time to delve into my careers again. I had thought to work with kids again but in due process I think making more money to be able to increase my future is better in the long run. I want my own home with youth and I won't get it making what I would make working with kids. Next week I'll probably be in Little Rock waiting on a urine test at Calark (www.calark.com) or in Joplin Missouri doing the same.

While reading the cooking parts of my Fur-Fish-Game magazines I was reminded that I always wanted my own game processing room. Something outback of the house with a concrete floor with a drain, stainless steel tables, stainless steel sinks, a couple of hooks hanging from the rafters for hanging meat to skin or dress and to cool, a walk in freezer, food vacuum, grinder, smoker, dehydrator, with a good air conditioner. It shouldn't be hard to make one I suppose if I had the house and land and time and money. Oh well... one day.

I went to my Grandma's and washed several many loads of clothes. I carried my 1976 issues of Fur-Fish-Game and read up on trapping, hunting, fishing, dogs, and the outdoors, with some cooking. I began planning my trapline in the fall with a bit of scouting and digging some dirt set holes to prime the fur in the area.

I spent the morning searching for ways to download .iso files. I found a site called http://www.isohunt.com that uses a bit torrent search that has the files I wanted listed. At first I couldn't figure how to download the files but then found that I had to download another program (Bit Lord 1.1) that would recognize the footprint file and begin the big download. So far the combination has worked rather rather well and started downloading one of the most popular .iso games right away.

I loaded several games on Bearshare (http://www.bearshare.com) to download so I could make some disks from the .iso files. The only one that has finished so far is Civilization 3 and it didn't install right. It was a wasted day in the download department. I spent some time cleaning up my computer using ccleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com) to clean the registry files, Ad-Aware-6 from (http://www.lavasoft.com), and my own scrounging in my files to find and delete formerly useful information. Cclearer and ad-aware are free downloads and they are very effective.

I was thinking about our family situation when working on the photos. Mom is sad that her dad my grandfather (whom I've never met) doesn't think of her. Grandma and him got a divorce and split up the family. Most of the kids from mom's version went with Davy. Mom came back to stay with Bertha I think. Our family hasn't been that cohesive these years. None of them like me I think and I haven't tried to be overtly friendly to any one. It's not that I don't like them but just that I don't know them and didn't like how they left mom out of the loop so to speak and me as well. Like it or not I am part of the Warwick saga that includes the Mooney family, the Berry family, the Wallace family, and the Adams family. I eventually hope to have my own place where I can invite family members over to stay and renew some family bonds. 
I worked on archiving the family photos today. I have a couple of albums of mom's that have some photos from the 50's and 60's of our family as well as some more recent photos. I intend to send a copy to everyone that I have addresses for. Should anyone from my family see this then email me with an address and I will send you a copy of the cd when I finish it.
A n00b ie but sorta blog journal creation I suppose
I haven't thought much about blogging. I have thought alot about making a journal for my kids to read of how crappy my life was and perhaps still is. I was watching Judging Amy and the goofy assistant on there was blogging and it caught my interest a couple of weeks ago. I was thinking of the situation of the decline and fall of America and decided to take the plunge today. I'm not sure where or what direction this will go in so I'll start with my current irons in the fire. I'm unemployed and living at home with mom. She wants me here (for reasons discussed later) but we grate on each other's nerves. I received a call about a local driving job hauling dirt to make a 2-lane road from Brinkley to Walnut Corner Arkansas which passes through my hometown of Marvell Wednesday. They wanted a copy of my driving record. I had one from December so I whited out the date, made a copy, and turned it in. I don't have any tickets or wrecks so I'm covered. I received in the mail a half dozen applications from children's homes who need a houseparent or assistant house parent. These are almost all live-in positions and most are out of state. I have a desire to start my own youth home but having no money and no reputation puts me out a bit. I received 8 Fur-Fish-Game magazines from the 70's that I bought off Ebay as well as an email from Ebay saying my account was suspended until I paid my bill ($400+). I returned two books to the Library in West Helena, L'Amour's Mountain Valley War and McAffrey's The Ship Who Searched and renewed two other L'Amour books. I played Colonization by Sid Meier. I began a couple of game .iso downloads on Bearshare (www.bearshare.com). I BBQed some chicken quarters and hamburgers and boiled some red potatoes that I bought at Kroger in Helena Ark, 3.99 for my 10 lbs. I went to legal aid and to the court house to clean up my record as I had some previous felonies. It was a rabbit chase though because no one could help me except to suggest some lawyers. I sent emails to said lawyers fishing for a price to have my record expunged, necessary if I want to work with youth and also if I want to hunt with firearms again which I do. I spent part of my evening looking up hunting and fishing regulations at http://www.agfc.com/index.html as well as applying for some deer hunting permits that I may or may not use. I read up on hunting feral hogs in Arkansas. I set up some tasks to complete on my calendar for making several web stores as well as starting a kennel.I looked up some topographical photos of where I used to hunt at. They didn't tell me anything I didn't already know and didn't point out an island I know about.I looked at several game trail camera photos and priced the camera's themselves. I'm going to set up several feeder locations and a couple of cameras to see what's in my woods.It's late now and I'm going to lay down and read some old Fur-Fish-Game magazines. I have to get up and go wash clothes 20 miles to my Grandmother's in Lexa Arkansas tomorrow or Sunday. I need to go to church again. I've been out way too long.Sleep Sweet. Jason

I'm thinking about buying a month's worth of food from here to lose weight. They've added several excellent diaries for food intake and exercise. I think if I could stay on their general diet I'd lose the weight I want to lose. Exercise is a problem for me. I know I need to but I only have walking available to me and don't like my neighborhood. I don't want to walk through it a couple of times each day. I've often thought about a walking machine and may go that route if I can ever afford it.

I poured over this website a couple days ago. There were several jobs that interested me if I didn't have obligations. I could be a police officer in a little hamlet in the middle of nowhere for $28 an hour with benefits in Alaska at least for a couple of years.
I also thought about going back to nursing school to get my Registered Nurse license but I don't really like working with sick people.
Alaska has been on my mind a lot lately. I'm 37. I watched a show on the public TV about a man who lived alone in Alaska for a year. In my Fur-Fish-Game magazines there are several trappers from Alaska who contribute stories about trapping in the wild. I've always been a fan of the pioneer days of mountain men and trapping legends. I've got 40-50 sites in my favorites about trapping and think if I stay in Marvell I'm going to run a trapline this fall in my old hunting grounds.
