One of the primary reasons, I should say, is because when I type my words, there seems to be a signifigant time lag that doesn't occur on any of my other blog sites. I don't know why this happens, it just is. And it upsets me for some reason if I look at it while i'm typing, so I don't. Because it takes longer if I do. I wait for the letters to appear on the screen rather than type my thoughts and it slows eveything down, making it a chore so I don't write often. So, now, I'm not looking at the screen, i'm looking at my keyboard and typing. It's faster that way.
It's not my computer because I don't get lags on other blog sites when I enter something. It's blogger.com. I hate this but Rail Claimore says it doesn't happen to him, just me. So, I've been thinking of actually typing my entry on Word maybe and then uploading it. Because the lag REALLY DOES bother me. When you're looking at your keys to avoid the screen 'cause it upsets you and wastes time, and therefore you don't write, that IS a problem...A serious one.
Another reason I don't post much is because i'm torn on whether to tell you about just gun stuff or gun stuff/CCW stuff and my everyday life. I think I should tell you as much as possible about my whole life encompassing the whole rounded person rather than just the gun/CCW aspect of my life. Don't you think? I think i'd be more intersting that way, and i'd post more too. So, I think that's what i'm going to do from now on.
I'll start now:
It's getting colder even though I live in the south. And so, to ride my bike, i've had to go out in the day when the sun is shining while it's still warmer. I can't ride anymore at night like it's Summer. Fall and Winter are DEFINATELY COMING. So, that's what I did today. The first thing. And on my ride back to my house a strange thing happened. I was resting at a park, sitting in the covered picnic area with my headphones on like I ususally do when I ride. I'm sitting there and I can see these 2 guys on bmx bikes talking and I don't wanna be rude, so I don't directly look at them and I can't really hear them with the music in my ears. But I want to be safe and keep and ear out for things so I take one ear bud out to listen to the conversation, see if they're saying anything derogatory about me (It IS getting dark. Being aware of your surroundings allows you to live longer) . Just generally keeping a head up on a situation. I actually DON'T have my gun with me for once when riding. So, I take my other earbud out 'cause I want to hear the conversation.
Slowly, it occurs to me that they're talking about bmx bikes and then I realize that they're not 2 white guys about the same age (like I thought) or 2 white guys one older than the other, but a young white guy with a speech impediment and some older black dude ( late teens early 20's?) . The black guy's trying to sell the kid his bike and the younger kid doesn't want it. He's also trying to sell some CD's and DVD's from his collection. He also tries to sell me these 3 things! I'm not interested, but I am amused! I don't know if he was trying to get money for drugs or for what he really said he was trying to sell the items (He said he was trying to raise money to make a demo for a rap group he was in) . He may have stole them, they may have been his. I don't know. But I did find it odd that he was trying to sell these items at a park to a kid! He did seem to have SOME ethics, because he wouldn't sell the kid, (11) explicit rap CD's, which I appreciated! we had a very interesting conversation, and I enjoyed talking to him, but I didn't suggest to him that he get a job at a place like walmart to fund his demo, because I was afraid he might be offended, even though I was polite all the time. He didn't seem like a drug dealer or a junkie, but he may have been new to his addiction, and then again, he could have been telling me God's own truth. Again, I don't know. I took out my pepper spray just to be sure in case he tried to rob me.
Mercifully, there was no unpleasentness. He was polite and friendly, and just seemed to be a nice guy who was trying to sell some of his stuff. Still, It was VERY ODD!
I honestly wish him well.
