30 Days of Writing: Side of the road (27/30)

June 27, 2012

This post is written in conjunction with the 30 Days of Writing, a blog challenge devised by Nicky and Mike at “We Work For Cheese.” I’ll be participating throughout the month of June. If interested, you can see my post with the details of the challenge. 

Please note that some of these posts will be serious, some will be normal, and some will be an attempt at humor.

In my last job, I had about a 20-minute commute each way. So that gave time for peeking around and enjoying scenery.

During the fall, there were splendid colors.

The winter usually included a gray feeling, or snow, and sometimes a glorious blue sky over sparkling snow.

When the spring comes, things start to bloom and the rolling hills and mountains in our area come to life.

The summer soon comes with warmer weather and the bliss of driving 20 minutes each way with air conditioning.

See, I worked odd hours though. Hence the life of the newspaper. That meant, I would be coming home after midnight, usually. So the scenery stops. A lot of times, the only things I’d see on my ride home would be homes with lights on, the occasional car, or deer. And, sometimes, those deer can be pretty stupid.

There were a few times where I saw cars on the side of the road. Sometimes, if I saw people out of their car, I would stop and bring the window down slightly to see if there was anything I can do. I am one of those people who is still skeptical and like to try and stay as safe as possible, and with it being after midnight, sometimes I feel it’s safer to move along etc.

It was a cold winter night a few years ago when I was coming home. I was still in my last car and, I will note, it was a mess. So I’m bee-bopping along and just outside of town when I crest a small hill and see a car on the side of the road. I see a man outside waving, so I slow down.

He’s slightly sweaty and in a panic mode.

Needless to say, I only cracked the window briefly.

In an out-of-breath way, he asks me if I can take him and his wife to the hospital. It’s an emergency and he ran out of gas. I told him my car was a mess and it might be better if I just call 911 for him.

He said he was ready to do that when he saw my car and he doesn’t think he has the time to do it.

At that point, I’m still a little worried but I say, “What’s the issue?”

He said “My wife is in labor!”

Pardon my use of language, but my reply was “Holy shit!”

I told him the car was a mess, but to cram into the car. He helps his wife in and he climbs in and as I take off, he calls the hospital, warning them we’re coming. I flew through the village (it’s a 30 mph zone and I am quite sure I didn’t go 30).

As I reached the hospital, I went right into the emergency room entrance and somebody was waiting outside with a wheelchair. The husband got out to help and shouted a thank you as they rushed into the hospital. They didn’t even shut the door! I got out and shut the door and scratched my head wondering if that just happened.

Crazy.

I never caught their name or anything, but as I drove by that spot on the side of the road the next day, their car was gone. I hope the husband came back with gas and drove it to the hospital to spend time with his wife and newborn.

I still try and be as safe as possible, but I do like to try and help if I can. Hopefully it won’t bite me in the ass one day, but I’m still under the belief that there are good people in this world and hopefully I won’t become a victim of a bad one!

30 Days of Writing: Intervention (26/30)

June 26, 2012

This post is written in conjunction with the 30 Days of Writing, a blog challenge devised by Nicky and Mike at “We Work For Cheese.” I’ll be participating throughout the month of June. If interested, you can see my post with the details of the challenge. 

Please note that some of these posts will be serious, some will be normal, and some will be an attempt at humor.

For more than a decade, I was a dipper.

For those who may not know the terminology, it means I chewed (dipped) smokeless tobacco. And not (usually) the stuff you wad into your cheek — I refer to that as chewing tobacco.

Rather, smokeless tobacco or dip, to me, is stuff like Skoal, Copenhagen etc. It’s the tobacco that comes in the small circular tins/cans.

This, for many years, was part of my daily routine.

I started in my teens. I have no idea why, but I did. When I was much younger, my older brother did it and I remember once snagging some of his Kodiak. Man did my tummy turn when I tried that. It didn’t stay in my mouth long.

You would think I would have learned my lesson. Nope.

When I was maybe 15 or 16, a buddy of mine gave me a dip. I left it in for a bit. It was absolutely tiny, too. I spit like I was cool. All of a sudden, I thought I was cool as could be. Dipping along.

I tried it a few more times and somehow, I liked it.

As I grew older and into my later teens, I started dipping more. Skoal had come out with its flavors — things like Spearmint and Cherry — and I dabbled in those. The cherry tasted and smelled so good.

Seriously, I loved the stuff.

I wasn’t what you would call a “chain” dipper. By that I mean somebody who has a dip in his or her (yes, I knew and still know several girls who dip) mouth most of the waking day. I was more of a simple dipper. I’d have one or two a day and it usually was in a certain situation — driving, playing a sport, with a friend — something along those lines. I rarely dipped just sitting back and watching TV or something.

Couple that with the fact that I didn’t take overly large dips, and a tin could last me a while. Unless, of course, somebody decided to bum one off me and took big dips.

I remember several people who I banned from bumming dips off me because they took big dips. My whole thought was this — if you are going to bum one, take a small one or go buy your own. Simple as that.

But I dipped and dipped.

And I didn’t mind it all that much. But as time wore on, it started to get old. I jumped from flavor to flavor to try and keep it going. But it got old. It didn’t taste as good. It didn’t smell good. And, truthfully, having spitters around was downright disgusting.

I knew it was only a matter of time before I was going to quit this habit. I wasn’t physically addicted as I went weeks without it at times. It was more of a social addiction. Many friends dipped, so it was easy to have one and join in. And it was a good way to ease up on snacking and such. It was also nice on long rides as it would keep you awake.

But it needed to stop. I just needed something to help me along.

Thank New York State for an intervention.

It was mid-December in 2005 or 2006 (I think ’06) when I went into a local tobacco shop to snag a tin. The intervention came soon after going in. Here’s my conversation — and intervention.

Me: Can I get a tin of Skoal cherry?

(The worker grabs a tin of it, puts it on the counter and rings it up). 

Worker: That will be $5.48. 

Me: Say what?

Worker: $5.48. 

Me: Since when is it so expensive?

Worker: New York just upped its taxes, so everything is more expensive.

Me: Well, I don’t want it then.

Worker: I just rang it up!

Me: I just quit!

With that, I walked out.

I had one more dip since then — with a friend on New Year’s Eve. That was only a couple weeks after I had this conversation. I had the dip in for maybe 10 minutes and felt dizzy and sick.

That was it.

I’ve been clean from dip ever since. Every once in a while, I’ll want one if I get a whiff of somebody with it. Or on a long drive. But then I think of everything else — the health risks, the spitting, the nastiness — and that small craving goes away.

I am glad this stuff is no longer a part of my life.

I don’t regret quitting, that’s for sure. I don’t need it in my life at all.

I’ve seen prices recently, too, and they are way higher. Financially, quitting habits like this is something smart. Forget about the health ramifications and put it into cold, hard cash. I have friends who I know dip a lot. Or I know people who smoke upwards of two packs of cigarettes per day.

Put it into monetary terms and start thinking about it. If a tin costs 7 bucks and one goes through three per week, that’s $21. Multiply that by a full year and you have $1,092. How many other things do you think you could do with 1,000 bucks?

And what about smoking? Say a name brand costs $7 per pack (which in New York, it’s higher I think). And for the people who smoke just a pack a day (which is way too much anyway). That’s $49 per week. That comes to more than $2,500 per year! If you smoke two packs per day? Double it! I realize some “cheaper brands” might be cheaper, but still.

How many things could you do with $2,500-$5,000 per year? A vacation? More?

The health ramifications alone should get people to quit. But they didn’t work for me. Heck, I remember dipping during health class in high school. But when I put it into monetary terms, it was a lot easier to say hell with it.

Call it a money intervention. Call it whatever you want. But it’s one intervention I’m glad I got!

30 Days of Writing: Worst Christmas ever (25/30)

June 25, 2012

This post is written in conjunction with the 30 Days of Writing, a blog challenge devised by Nicky and Mike at “We Work For Cheese.” I’ll be participating throughout the month of June. If interested, you can see my post with the details of the challenge. 

Please note that some of these posts will be serious, some will be normal, and some will be an attempt at humor.

I’m not sure where to go with this one, so it might be a short one.  

I can honestly say I don’t remember a bad Christmas. The holiday has always been a good one for my family. Well, sans the one year (and I don’t even remember this — I’ve only heard about it in stories) where one of my brothers apparently peeked at presents and once Christmas morning came he wasn’t surprised.

The one year Christmas was supposed to suck — the first without my father — actually was a good one. See, my father was a big kid when it came to Christmas. So the day was a little somber at first, but we had memories of him and it ended up being a fun day.

I’ve never experienced the bad family Christmas where the crazy uncle comes and parks his RV on your lawn. I think it’s always been one of those holidays where our family gets together and it’s not so bad. It’s Christmas, after all.

As a kid, presents, of course, were how you judged a Christmas. And I always thought our parents (or Santa!)  hooked us up pretty well. It wasn’t as if you got done, had a temper tantrum and kicked things over.

I’ve heard stories of other people and bad days for this holiday. Whether it’s something personal or petty, there are stories. And it’s sad to hear. I have always enjoyed the feeling of Christmas. It’s a wonderful time of the year and it’s hard — at least for me — to not be slightly cheery. Even going through it this past year being unemployed, it was a way to be away from the real world and such.

The colors, the glitz and everything else makes it cheery.

Now, I understand not everyone celebrates Christmas. So this might not pertain to them at all.

For me, Christmas is a way to have a nice day with family and celebrate what we do have. The gift-giving is fun, but I truly do enjoy the other aspects of the holiday and have a very hard time thinking of them as bad times — or as the worst Christmas ever.

****

As for this topic — I had to cover it based on the 30 Days of Writing Challenge. I will say this, however — it is extremely difficult writing about Christmas and all when it’s the beginning of summer and warm as can be outside!

30 Days of Writing: Roast or toast another blogger (24/30)

June 24, 2012

This post is written in conjunction with the 30 Days of Writing, a blog challenge devised by Nicky and Mike at “We Work For Cheese.” I’ll be participating throughout the month of June. If interested, you can see my post with the details of the challenge. 

Please note that some of these posts will be serious, some will be normal, and some will be an attempt at humor.

This actually was quite the tough topic.

It’s not that I don’t know any bloggers to toast or roast. It’s more that I don’t want to single anyone out. There are many bloggers I read on a normal or semi-normal basis. And there are some who I’ve found during this challenge that I will continue to read well beyond the end of this 30-day craze.

With the risk of missing some people, I’m just going to basically give a speech and try and include some of my favorites. If you’re not listed, it doesn’t mean I don’t read you… it just means that I probably forgot (after all, getting many blogs in this post will be tough!)

****

I could start by noting about this damn challenge. A 30-day blogging challenge where one has to write about certain off-the-wall topics. Yes, it’s the brain trust of Nicky and Mike over at We Work for Cheese. It would be easy to roast them. From their devotion to cheese to being Canadian. Easy roasting, no? Alas, I have an affinity for cheese and for Canada, so not so easy, eh?

And Nicky, believe me, my next trip to Montreal, I’m cashing in on your offer of free poutine!

Alas, by stumbling upon this challenge, I also had the chance to find many new and intriguing bloggers. And it seems bloggers of all ages, too, which is excellent. On top of that, they are from all over.

Such as Babs, who is on the other side of the pond. She’s not the only blogger I read from the UK, either — a fellow geocacher, Sarah, is also from that side of the world. It’s probably good that I am reading their blogs as I’m sure they have accents! It’s always cool to think about what somebody would sound like when you only see them in the Blogging world.

This challenge has led me to blogs like Linda, Wendy, Barb, Linda M, Katherine, Lauren and Laughing Mom, who have all sown creativity and different styles of writing that I really have enjoyed. Whether tales of life, poems or whatever else, they have consistently made me look forward to visiting their blogs.

Shawn has made me laugh — more than once — during this challenge. And laughter is something I truly love, so it’s always a bonus.

And I can’t forget Nonameddufus, who may call himself a dufus, but has humor, excellent stories and a love of hot dogs (albeit microwaved, but still…) and is someone I truly look forward to reading each day.

There are others — not involved in this challenge — who I try to read as often as possible. From geocachers such as GeoKs, to “everyday life” bloggers such as Naked Girl in a Dress (get your mind out of the gutter…) and Christelle, to a former co-worker who now has a “foodie” blog as Scratch Made Wife, my blog roll is a dynamic mixture of tastes, styles and posting frequency. I am happy to be able to read so many excellent blogs.

And Michael leads the fight for peanut butter against Nutella, so he’s obviously a worthy read. Lady in Red has helped that fight. We just need to make sure she doesn’t stray off course in the quest to crush Rusty’s beloved Nutella.

I had to save the “best” for last, however. See, I couldn’t go the whole thing without a true roast.

Over the years, I’ve gotten to know other sports writers and such through the Internet. Mainly through a message board (of which I am no longer and active participant). It’s through there where I first met Jerry. (Note I’ve met him several times now at events such as the Hall of Fame Inductions and have since grown to call him a good friend … he even mentioned me in his acknowledgments at the end of his most recent book… cheap plug! Go look at it and buy it if you are a baseball fan. It’s a great read!)

But about the blogging part…

See, for a long time, I used to tell Jerry to read my blog. But he wasn’t the biggest of blogging people. He’d usually respond to me something along these lines:

Me: Hey man, I had an interesting post at my blog today. You should check it out.

Jerry: BLOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS!!!

And that would be it.

A funny thing happened on the way to the blogging world…

See, Jerry became a blogger.

Now, it’s one thing to start a blog. Whether it be about books, sports, real life or whatever. Maybe a niche. Well, Jerry has hit the niche. He blogs about Hofstra basketball. (His three readers will confirm it). Sometimes, when other sports at Hofstra are doing well, he’ll blog about them, too.

Despite his blogging of a school that many people scratch their head at and say “Who?” Jerry has become a blogger. The banter of “Sofstra” and “No football” are inside jokes that always make me chuckle.

In the end, though, Jerry truly runs a solid blog and is something that fans of alumni of Hofstra should be happy to have. I won’t lie that I don’t read it every day (I don’t have connection to Hofstra), but I check it out and there are, at times, posts that truly engage me. His style is excellent and the way he relates things is strong so even those who aren’t connected to the school can read it without thinking it’s been done by some fan boy.

I would encourage people who enjoy good writing to check his blog out. The only bit of advice I would give is if you don;t want millions of updates about Hofstra and CAA basketball, don’t follow him on Twitter (Hi, Jerry!)

For those I left out of this post, accept my apologies. I’ll still be reading!

Just what I needed — another blog challenge

May 31, 2012


If I need inspiration during this blog challenge, Danny Larusso should provide it!

I think I might be insane to even think about doing another challenge.

I’m already trying to continue my Project 366 and HooHaa 52 photo projects. On top of that, I have the HooHaa Holga Challenge I am dealing with. Add that in with my job search and dealing with two blogs that are not money generating, playing softball, fitting in some geocaching, a round or two of disc golf and other outdoorsy things and one might think I’m nuts.

But this was a little too interesting to pass up.

As I noted yesterday, I have been searching for some new blogs to read. I wanted some entertaining ones. That search brought me to We Work For Cheese.

The first post I saw was titled “The Post You’ll Wish You Never Read.”

Fact: The headline of that post is as true as can be.

It’s not that I don’t like the blog — I do. In fact, I’ll be trying to make it part of my normal blog reading. But that post — that evil post — is the one about this challenge.

I’ve never been much into blog challenges or “quick topics,” and by quick topics, I mean those blog posts where you are tagged by other bloggers and need to fill out some sort of questionnaire. Those might help me fill days at some point, though, so I should look into them.

Anyway, back to this post I wish I had never read…

See, the challenge is simple. Blog every day for 30 straight days, starting Friday (June 1). I thought to myself, heck, I’ve done that before and more than once. But, you see, this has a catch — the topics are pre-determined.

And some of ’em aren’t easy.

Here’s the list:

  • Day 1: Cheese
  • Day 2: A roadblock
  • Day 3: They played my song
  • Day 4: Behind the wheel
  • Day 5: Spiders
  • Day 6: Pressure
  • Day 7: Excess
  • Day 8: Best friend
  • Day 9: Magic carpet
  • Day 10: The babysitter
  • Day 11: A sense of accomplishment
  • Day 12: In the kitchen
  • Day 13: The other one
  • Day 14: The short hairs
  • Day 15: First place
  • Day 16: Hanging out in the cemetery
  • Day 17: The awkwardness of the common banana
  • Day 18: Setting sail
  • Day 19: Camels
  • Day 20: Going solo
  • Day 21: Favors I’d ask of Satan
  • Day 22: Like there’s no tomorrow
  • Day 23: Stiletto heels
  • Day 24: Roast or toast another blogger
  • Day 25: Worst Christmas ever
  • Day 26: An intervention
  • Day 27: Side of the road
  • Day 28: The turning point
  • Day 29: Breaking the rules
  • Day 30: It could have been worse

Now, realize this — there aren’t any rules.

That means there’s no word requirements. The post can be a photo or as short as one word. Maybe I will write a bajillion words. It’s all good (though, if I wrote a bajillion words, I don’t think somebody would read it).

The only catch is that the blog owner, Nicky, has forewarned that she will make fun of participants in their comments, should the need arise. That’s OK though, because comments are comments, no? And we all like getting comments!

So, I’m going to give this a go. Realize that I might write some fiction and I might mix some other things in with these (see Earl). I’ve actually though about making Earl a major part of this blog challenge, but I’m going to basically do this all on the fly as I go along. So who knows.

All I know is I think I’m crazy.

The even crazier part? There are times when there will be more than one post per day. See, I don’t plan on axing some of my regular features (Snapshot Saturday etc.), though I might try and mix a few of them.

I have a few hopes for what I can gain from this challenge:

  • That I find some more excellent blogs to read on a regular basis;
  • Have fun;
  • Finish the challenge;
  • And to not hate cheese by the end of the challenge.

If you are a blogger, you still have a chance to check out the challenge and sign up before things get rolling June 1.

Or, if you’re smart, you might not read that post.

If you do, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
