MY MEMORIES OF JIM

The night I slept with my friend.

I met Jim in 1990 in a very small pub where they were having a Karaoke contest that night. Jim was in the contest. The same night I met Jim I was with another man whom I have lived with since 1982. We were sitting up to the bar as there was no room at any of the tables and Jim was sitting next to me. I introduced myself and my boyfriend and we talked about a lot of things that night. They called Jim's name to come up and sing and he ask me to wish him good luck why I did it I'll never know but I gave him a kiss on the cheek for good luck and winked as he got down off the bar stool. As I watched on this man had the most beautiful voice I had ever heard and he could make you feel what he was singing and it came from his heart. He ran chills up and down my spine. When he was finished the whole house applaued and cheered him on. I couldn't help myself but the man completely had captured me.

After the evening had ended I gave him a hug and another kiss on the cheek and said goodbye and hoped to see him around again sometime. On our way home (my live in boyfriend) asked me if I would like to have a threesome with him, I gave him a dirty look and asked him why he even would think of such a thing, after all isn't it every man's dream to have a threesome with another female not a male the subject got dropped immediately.

We had been back to that small pub several times since then not really my choice but my boyfriends and why I don't know to this day. We ran into Jim once again and this time my boyfriend sat next to him and carried on a conversation as for me not to hear what he was talking about but I had it figured he was trying to sell me but not as a prostitute to Jim. As time went on we keeped running into Jim and Jim and I became real good friends. Plenty of times when I was out and about on my own I would run into him also and he ask me to go for a cup of coffee and I did. Jim never and I mean honestly never made a pass at me all the time I was with my livin boyfriend. But I won't say I wanted him too. Jim got so he would even call the house and talk to my boyfriend a lot, till one day he had asked us to meet him at a different pub where he was in another contest, he didn't want to go but told me to go ahead and go, I felt very uncomfortable about this we just didn't go to pub's without each other at all, in fact he turned around and got on the phone and told Jim to come and pick me up. I was in total shock that he would even do this. Well as it turned out I had found out he had been cheating on me and I guess you can guess it from here this was his way of slipping out some where else with her.

When I had found this out I had leaned on Jim and confided in everything with him I shared my secret thoughts and my whole life with Jim. But I wasn't ready to give up on the man I thought I was in love with. This went on for 10 years. Somewhere along that 10 yrs Jim got his own show together and I helped him out one day I asked him to teach me to sing I had tried but it was awful and I wouldn't try without first learning. Jim took a lot of time with me and taught me to sing I told my boyfriend about it and he just would laugh, well he started coming back into the pub where Jim and I was working from time to time and check us out (probably was having problems with his cheating female so I suspect) Jim kinda thought so too. He did tell me how proud he was that I learned to sing.

Everything seem to be going great again between us (boyfriend) till one day I came home from doing a show with Jim and the whole house had been cleaned out. I got into my car till I found the bastard he had moved in with his whore. This all happened in April of 2000. Still 10 yrs and Jim had never made one single pass at me.

Around July of 2000 was the change of my life Jim and I went to do a show as usual but a lot of his friends were there too after we walked in they took over told me it was cut loose and party time with an old friend of mine named Jim....they set the show up and I was seated on a barstool along side of Jim we drank southern comfort and sevenup and done hotdamn shots...a good share of the night we toasted to everything under the sun..when Jim got up to use the rest room one of the bar tenders keeped coming over to e telling me how much Jim was in Love with me and had been for years but would never say anything.....we'll to make a long night story short Jim and I were pretty well loosened up so to speak of and his friends decided neither one of us was fit to drive....they had made arrangements at a motel for the two of us and drove us their...now to rush this let me tell you I didn't believe the bartender at all I'd seen Jim in action he liked all the ladies and was friendly with several (but never took one home) and I got to admit several times a littel jeousy rose up in my mind, soemtimes I imagined him flirting with me like that but it never happened Jim was just that Jim to me my best friend in the whole world.....he was always there for me listened, cried when I cried but never did he tell me how to make the choices in my life.....

Off to the motel we were escorted by Red...another good male friend of mine...and he told us to sleep it off he would pick us back up in the morning.....Jim took me by the arm and led me to our room he opened the door and I said oh no twin beds we said twin beds didn't we and Jim said yeah we did and just looked on and laughed so I started to laugh too...I told him I think this was planned somehow...he didn't say a word....I fell back on the bed with my clothes on and continued to laugh...Jim said well we can just sleep in our clothes how's that I said Ok sounds good to me....we were laying their and Jim ask if he could kiss me.....I giggled and said your always kissing me he said no I mean really kiss you like the woman that you are....he got near my lips and I couldn't help it I burst out laughing again....and ask if he was trying to seduce me he said no of coarse not so Igot up and said well let me help you then....I turned around with my back to him and unlipped my pants ever so slow looking over my shoulder watching him watch me.....and down they fell to the floor...very slowly I unbuttoned my white silky blouse and slipped it ever so slowly off my shoulders still watching him still with my back to him then I sat slowly doen on the edge of the bed and told him to cuddle up close to my back and bring his hands around to my abdominand told him I'm all yours....he was ever so gentle and carressed ever spot on my body...we managed to get him out of his clothes, too I had never been kissed like he kissed me and held like this in my whole intire life...I had no inhibitions about myself that niht I did things I thought I never could or would do with a guy...we made love till morning..holding on to each other all night the words of love were never spoken between us.....this man I neverr new till this point took care of me in more ways then the book was written for 101 ways to amke love and satisfy your partner......Red came back and picked us up in the morning as promised and we were still holding each other...we were taken back to our cars and sat in my car for a while and leaned over and kissed me again and just smiled and told me I was something else and he would never forget it ...he asked me if I was sorry that it happened I told him no I was glad it had happened.....after a week had passed I can honestly say I wass not in lov with him as he was with me but I never told him that he was my best friend still throught the years till he was killed in 2003...I miss my friend and he always sang "You Had Me From Hello" to me at every show we did.....I wrote a peom about my friend and it's posted below this...his exwife knew about our relationship and she placed the poem at the head of his casket......I leaned over and kissed him goodbye one more time but my memories are very fond of him.....and to this day I do believe that yes I was in Love with him but never knew it and I stayed with him till the end....I can stillhere his voice sing this song.....


You Had Me From Hello ------Kenny Chesney
One word, that's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head.
Your smile, just captured me
And you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happened still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will
Well you, had me from
"Hello"I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won meIt was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let goI never even had a chance you know
You had me from "Hello"Inside, I built the walls
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time, I let someone in
But you, had me from "Hello"I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you won meIt was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let goI never even had the chance you know
You had me from "Hello"That's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to, turn my head
You had me from "Hello"You had me from
"Hello"Girl I've loved you from "Hello"

He is JIM

THE STORES

Wal-mart, Meijers, Malls of all kinds, Specialty Stores, Rural King, TSC, Shepplers, Western Stores, Furniture Stores....well guess what you couldn't be in all of them as a first come first serve basis, so you missed out on that special. I didn't even think about making an atempt to even try it let alone get up that early, I watched plenty of videos on the net people shouting shoving grabbing pushing it looked like they were looters. Really they are funny to watch. It's totally unbelieveable what someone will do for a bargain. My own girlfriend spent the night yes the night in Meijers with her name on some big screen Tv or Flat screen whatever till she was able to purchase it after 5am what kind of a deal was that with the Meijers store, they shouldn't of even allowed this to happen. Others piled their stuff up on the floor and had one family member stand over their goods while the other continued to shop for more bargains...as for me and plenty of others we didn't or wouldn't have had a fair chance at even running for the same bargain....all in all these same people I wonder if they gave one thought about what was going on in the world or on the other side of the world I doubt it. And I also wonder if they gave a thought about the true meaning of the coming days....I looked for religious cards pretty hard to find anymore I want to send cards out to my loved ones with Christ Birth anoucement a reminder of what he did and stood for....don't get me wrong I not a religious crackpot but I do believe in him and the only way to heaven is through him....Christmas is a time for love, sharing, giving of oneself...taking a look at the whole world just tares me apart.....war a sinceless war is wrong....families cry loved ones can't come home whole or alive.....they grieve over those lost and nothing left of them to bring home and make a final goodbye too....not just this was but any war...so shoppers as you go about listening to all the christmas music and the hustle and bustle in the stores take on small moment everyday and think of something you can be thankfull for and stand out and be heard...some loved one may be touched..some marriage may be rekindled....some life may be touched.....so with this in mind a toast a drink to you all during this season

I SHOT ONE BEFORE THEY DID!

Yep that's right went to deer camp right after work Friday and boys let me in...thought they had a cook lololol......hmm...looked in the frig ...no margarrita's....plenty of beer....looked in cupboard no tequila.....but plenty cans of beans...(cowboy billy brand even)....hey there's a cooler.....no mix in here either....one and a half packages of hot dogs.....let's see as I looked around the rest of the place I saw camo clothes hanging every where...how would they like it if I hung my panties, bras, and stockings all over deer camp.....to hell with it I put on my orange gard and grab my gun and headed out........went down along one of the lanes and just crested the hill before the woods and low and behold stood 18 of the little darlings...I stood their watching for a while then slipped over into the thicket and sat just waiting.....here she comes a pretty good size doe...I raised my gun and looked into the sights can't see a damn thing forgot to take off the sight covers damn-it...got them off and raised my gun again....she just keep coming towards me....boom.....she rared up and started to run but then came down...no movement I just sat there for a while longer...still no movement......oh damn here comes they guys.....well all I got to say is the guys have been in deer camp since the night before the 15th and not a one of them can put anything on the table....but they sure as hell want to run me out of here......and here it is almost a week into the first week of deer camp and they still don't have nothin' to show for it....went back to camp and there was some comment about who ever got the first deer didn't half to cook.....so it wasn't me at the stove all weekend...or the dishes...and I walked around those camo clothes hanging everywhere not saying a word......it came to Sunday about 7pm time to leave for home.....their all out in the woods, haven't come up yet...made them a pot of chili.....how hot was it....hmmm let me see if i remember I do believe I put a few extra chili peppers in the last batch of chili when I left they might run out of beer washing it down.....

How about some deer facts:

A buck will only travel in a 50 mile radius of where he was born. Deer do establish territory.

Does are still nursing there young during the rutt even though they can make it on their own, nothing like mothers milk.

During the rutt when all the chasing is going on and the booms from the guns the young end up getting permanently seperated from they mothers, that's why you see so many young hit by cars they have no direction to safety at this time.

You can tell by the look of the liver when you gut a deer if the deer is deseased, if it has white spots or, grayish discoloring round the edges despose of the deer properly.

Deer will starve to death before leaving their domain.

Deer can live up to 11yrs in the wild.

2 deer without predation can produce a herd of up to 35 deer in just 7 years.

A deer's hearing is far better than a human.

A deer's sight can see at 310 deg.'s around him without moving his head.

A deer can pick up a sent hundred's of yards away.

Antlers start to grow on bucks in mid-April. The antlers are warm to the touch and covered in a soft velvet while growing. By September, the velvet is shed or rubbed off when the bucks rub their antlers against trees making them pointed, sharp and cold to the touch. The antlers drop off by themselves in March, usually one at a time. Small animals and squirrels will eat the antlers (after they have been shed).

Does normally give birth to twins.
Fawns are usually born in May and June. They start to lose their spots in September and are then considered to be adult deer, ready to breed fawn of their own.

Deer shed their fur twice a year. In late August they shed their reddish-brown coat and grow a heavy grey winter coat. In March and April they shed their grey winter coat and grow a reddish-brown summer coat.

The first deer arrived here around 10 million yrs ago.

Deer are able to run up to 40 miles per hour, jump 9 foot fences, and swim 13 miles per hour. Wow, that's fast!

GONE HUNTIN' SOMETHIN'

Yes I took my laptop with me...sssshhhs...I'm out here sitting on this here stump looking for the tirty pointer......even though you may think there isn't one just go to google and type in 30 point buck and you'll see there is such a buck in fact that buck I saw had 32 points non-typical of coarse.....being an animal like this and haveing things stick out of you all over (I mean antlers guys) can you imagine how hard it would be to travel thru the woods knocking your head on everthing. Gotta get back to my huntin'! See yah all when I get back from the woods. I'm down here on 280 acrs of nothing but woods and this is a sight to see, it's so peacefull and calm and just beautiful Sat morn.

12. Deer stories who saw the bigest and the best; bullshit gun it down and prove it

to me.

How about this one:

Have you ever figured up the money spent on clothes, guns, amunition, beer, food, they're nights out trying to impres god who knows who. I have, I bet my husband has at least 2,500.00 invested and one deer a yr pretty expensive meat let's see if it weight 150 lbs (and that;' only field dressed, don't forget how much the butcher will waist) that's 16.00 a lb for the wild stuff.

Now I don't mind Venison in fact I like it better than beef so I usually tell him he better come up with at least 2, and he did succeed last yr with 3 and of coarse where almost out of the stuff and I'm hoping he'll be just as successfull this yr.

I have a lot of recipes for Venison: Meatloaf, veg soup, strougf, and even more. I've even had people tell me they didn't know it was venison.

This yr he has invited me down for the weekend but I'm leery and have already told him I'm not cleaning up after them, or cooking, and the floors better be clean cause I like to walk around barefoot, and mud and stone just don't get along with my feet. I refuse to do the dishes or put up with all that smoking going on as for the drinking thank god they got a generator I'll have blender in hand Tequila and mix MAGARRITA and lets see if I can tell just as many big buck stories as they can after all I'm not new to this I've hunt with my Grandfater a many time out in the woods, in fact he died hunting and I was wqith him when it happened, I didn't even know he was gone but I stuck right by his side till we were found, and I say this he was happy he left this world doing what he loved best and he shared that part of the world with me, I'll never forget that last trip into the woods, when we sat peacefully by this large oak tree and he fell asleep and slipped away into the other world. How old was I was about 6 then and when we were found I remember telling some men he wouldn't wake up. Share some of your fondest stories, too tomorrow on blogger and maybe you will make someone smile. Have a good night! MMMM....that salted brim before the margaritta is going down real good tonight.

Love yah all Paris!

ARE YOU SLEEPING VERY WELL TONIGHT BUSH

COME OUT COME OUT WERE EVER YOU ARE

Happy very let me tell you I discovered a new way to drink Magaritta's you take the blender and dip the rim in the salt and make those drinks from there it saved a lot of time having to check out the polls and all but I did vote in confidence that we would rise and reign once again, what's Bush gonna do now, he's gonna loose control in his mid-term he doesn't know who he can bullshit and who he can't his guard is up he doesn't trust nobody, his buddies are gone gone gone, I expect him to veto a lot of bills just to get even, he can't stand defeat, but it won't be long and he'll be bunted off the hill, too. After all didn't he say to vote Replubican what does that tell you he knows he's in for a rocky road ahead. And the look on his face when he said it, it was a Dem God fearing look.

OKAY YOU GUYS WE VOTED YOU IN NOW GO TO WORK FOR US

We all know it's gonna take some time and it'll be slow but we hope we made a good start.

Margaritta's to you all and a good night...

I had to post this comic it seems a lot of shit has happened at the polls this time around and don't it just seem funny that the repuks are probably a little scared...Yes I'm posting this before the election has been accounted for...just the look on BUSHWAKER'S face alone is going to be worth it.....Vote Replubican he said and that a bunch of shit. I bet he spends a lot of his time he has out at Camp David (I think that's right) with his head stuck in the ground and his ass haning out. Somebody paint a quail on his ass (oops just a face will do) where you at Chenny it's time for your song HEY HUNTER, HUNTER...SHOOT!

Well I voted with confidence.

No recounts you repuks!

Cheney to go hunting on Election Day
Vice President heads to S.D. for first trip since accidentally shooting friend

They got to be kidding he oughta be out hunting for a job, I’m so glad to see this SOB finds hunting to be more important than his job or the election—pay attention people of America what does this tell you about this boob…..

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney will spend Election Day on his first hunting trip since he accidentally shot a companion last February while aiming at a covey of quail on a private Texas ranch.

Yeah right he can’t tell the difference between fowl and human. People of America don’t stick your neck out again for this boob….

The vice president, after working at the White House on Monday morning, will head to South Dakota to spend several days at a private hunting lodge near Pierre. Lea Anne McBride, his press secretary, said it was an annual hunting outing and said Cheney spent Election Day in 2002 at the same lodge.

I hear it don’t cost nothing to get a Cheney license let’s go huntin’

He will be accompanied by his daughter, Mary, and his political director, Mel Raines, who will help him keep track of the election returns, McBride said.
On a Feb. 11 hunting trip in Texas, Cheney shot attorney Harry Whittington in the torso, neck and face when he pulled the trigger on his 28-gauge shotgun. The vice president later called it “one of the worst days of my life” and said, “The image of him falling is something I’ll never ever be able to get out of my mind.”
Apparently he’s forgotten he’s picking up his gun again, sounds like some bar one liner to me….
The shooting was ruled an accident. Whittington was hospitalized for six days.

Hot off the press new song titled….HEY HUNTER,HUNTER.....SHOOT
Let me see where is that extra bottle of tequila, Margaritt's coming up gotta get both blender's going tonight I can see that already...

THE BUCK SHACK

Yep! He dragged me out to the buck shack. First of all you gotta pull all the weeds away from the door just to get in it. Knock down all the bees nest (after all if you get a fire going then they'll come alive). OMG what in the hell is this a roll of toilet paper all chewed up by some varment and chewed up nut shells to boot. So let's clean out the stove aauuugh! somethings moving OMG it's a gigantic rodent, that mad me crawl out of my skin till I beat it to death with a broom, and even broke the broom handle doing that. A squirels nest yuck that was in the stove pipe oh and looky here a birds nest with the eggs still in it makes you wonder what happened tothe creature sitting on the eggs. Probably a barn cat got it I would guess they gotta eat, too. Eww another mouse nest oh and with one baby dried up mouse in it. See this Buck shack is way out in the woods I mean it's a nice hike to get back to it can't believe the wild life we've seen wish I had my camera when we went back. The deer are just in big numbers back here but so far not one buck has showed his face, just like a man to hide behind a woman's skirt. So the other wild creaters will take it over we go through this every year but I usually have talked my way out of it, or I pretend to be sleeping real sound and he doesn't bother me but he picked today no preperation for me to sneak out of the idea.

Well well well looky here he was really the sneaky one had a bottle of wine and a couple of glasses, sez he celebrating being able to get me back here but i know what he's really got on his mind, he wants to romance out here in the woods but let me tell you I find nothing romantic about a buck shack, dead weeds, and everything is brown let alone cold, too.

Well when we get done here he sez's he's gonna take me out to dinner yeah right I've got mudding swamp boots on insulated bibs and a red plaid coat with an orange stocking cap.
Ojh and lets not forget the twigs in my hair.....well needless to say...he decided to go to the Ponderosa. Now he look's like Paul Bunnion (he stand over six foot tall) and me like some poor hilbilly hick girl he found along the way....well we drew enough attention.

Next year I gota make plans!!!! Oh by the way he wants me to go back out tomorrow and help replace the windows in the buck shack they seem to be broken and the sliders don't work....yep you guest I'll lay real still so he'll feel guilty about disturbing me tomorrow morning....

MY BROTHER'S DREAM

My brother came to me last year with a big dream. He wants to build yes I said build a Chinese Junk Boat. He's talked about this for years but now he's serious. Either he's watched Forset Gump one to many times and loved Bubba who's family had the shrimp business or he's completely gone insane, especially after the look on his wife's face. He had me go on the internet to find junk boat building plans of coarse I tried to explain to him that it's really not that easy to find building plans. So I have spent more than 3 hours and finally got him convinced you can't find such an animal. Oh we found plans you could purchse but no details came with them. His idea is to build a Junk boat and have it built like a yacht on the inside do to his wife not being very favorable with the idea any how. He wants it big enough so the whole family can go and live on this thing and be rid of the world. Now your talking 1 mother who still is alive 6 children and then their children too, so let me see that's 28 of us on one big rig. I got to admit we are a very close family and we all do get a long real well. So let me get back o his dream he wan'ts a couple 4 wheelers so we can go inland to buy supplies only. He tells me we won't have to pay no more taxes ever again and this sorry government can kiss our asses. Well almost don't sound too bad. So this year he plans on starting to build this junk rig and he's very serious. So I ask him about a building permit said he doesn't have to have one he's not digging in the yard for a permament structure. I brought up hurricanes no problem we'll move away from all danger zones, which is true , he tells me just think about it no more cold weather we just sail to a different area every time. All of us like to fish so here we go Shrimp all you want lobster OMG. I alsp brought to mind any unfriendly waters we travel to.
I've been looking and these rigs can be up to 490 ft long. I think that's about a block long. It'll also have solar panels to charge generators. Oh he's got it all figured out.
This story came to mind thanks to BBC and his fine yacht he posted.

HUNTING SEASON
