Fuck it...hop in the bucket and haul ass

Still alive...graduated college. Still dont have a job thanks to the economy. Lay offs suck. Considering several options. Going back to school. Looking for a job here. Moving to either TN or AL (provided I can find gainful employment in these places). Driving a truck cross country. Who knows cuz I sure the hell dont. Anyway thas bout it...more to follow sooner or later.

Well it is official..I graduated college.Hoorah. I understand now tho why people refer to it as bitter sweet. Glad but also sad to see it go. Most parts I wont miss but some of it I will. I can honestly say we had two of the coolest teachers ever.Not many "real" professors will tolorate the swearing,tobacco useage,Awful conversation,2 hour lunch breaks,extending deadlines over and over and over again and many more things that they did for us this year and for that...Thanks. Doyle and Ronald,You guys are the best. As for the school yes I did graduate minus the pole climbing....somthing about standing on the side of a 50 ft pole with no safty and only a small nylon strap attaching me to this large stick of wood that simply does not fit with me. On a good note tho I passed everything else and got the CDL+endorsments.Go me. Again tho on a dismal note about a month ago the electrical industry hit a hiring freeze so none of us have jobs.That being said ive been thinking hard of going back to school this fall and getting certified in somthing else. I figure what the hell right,Might as well do it while im young,willing to learn and as long as im in school I dont have to worry about paying back the student loans.But who knows..all thats in the future and for now I think im going to try and enjoy my summer..whatever I end up doing. But this was just a short update to let yall know I did finish and thanks for all the encouragement. I guess this time im going to leave yall with some of the best quotes of the year but be forewarned,Some of these are not for the faint of heart and they do include at times massive amounts of swearing so if you get offended easy you might not want to read em.

Linemen Do It Hot

Still in school. So looking foward to spring break ...2 weeks. Passed the climbing evaluation by the hardest and would have failed if not for a very very nice grade by my instructors. The contract instructors did not approve of my vertical skills. Oh well im a vertical retard. No big deal. Thats why they have bucket trucks. The tests keep getting harder and more frequent but hey thats college right? Getting ready to take the cdl driving test which ought to be just effin great considering the POS truck we have to drive. I have discovered that I worry about myself entirly to much and college is full of reatrds who have no clue that in the real world work dont stop when it rains, when deer season is open, If its great weather to fish, or just because we are whiney little bitches and want to go home. Seriously, welcome to life children. Guess thats about it for now. More to follow....

When the lights go out... Linemen get it on

Update...still having like 5 tests a day. Making good grades so far. Have cut out 5 times 3 of which resulted in injury. Twice I was over 15 ft in the air. Sucks. Thas it . More to follow

Didnt come to see the show...Came to put it on.

New stuff...school is going. I passed the cdl permit test which is a requirment to stay in the program. Yay me. We have an avarage of 7 tests a week which is brutal.For those educated folks who understand college jargen...Im taking 22 college credit hours. Pitty for me haha. I will get some pics on here (but not of me falling off the pole).Make sure you read the saying at the bottom. Stop and think about the men who do this next time your power is off in a thunderstorm,ice storm,hurricane or just when you have a regular outage. These men leave their familys at all hours of the day and night and work in every weather hazzard known to man. All the while we take for granted what they do and bitch about them needing to hurry up. So stop and think about them next time you loose the lights. Mabey one day ill be one of them. More to follow....


We the willing
Led by the unknowing
And doing the impossible
For the ungrateful
We have done so much
With so little
For so long
We are now qualified
To do anything
With nothing

LINEMAN
AND PROUD OF IT

New Year

Well its been a while so i guess i will update you people. Xmas was great and new years was ...well whatever. As far as whats new the weekend after xmas Roadway informed us that as of march 1st we will be let go due to the fact of "company streamlining" so pretty much ima be out of a job after the last weekend in febuary. But on a good note 5 years after i graduated highschool I have decided to go back to college. I have to say its a new experiance for me and I feel so old with all these people who graduated last year. Honestly im in college with people who started kindergarden in 1990. I remeber 1990...rather odd feeling. But as far as school so far im enjoying it. In case your wondering im not in a basics deal. I opted to go for a co op program that the community college offers to train linemen for the power companys.The only problem I can forsee with this choice is the 50-80 foot heights while standing on a 1/4 inch peice of steel held onto my boot by a leather strap and the fact that one mistake and you die. Can i make good career choices or what. Anyway ill update more when i have time. Gotta go study for a test. Yall take care and more to follow....

Christmas...Mississippi style

Well yall lets try this one on for size.

Twas the night before christmas
And all round the trailer
Not a thing was to be heard
'Cept ole ed drivin that damn hay bailer.

The socks was throwed up
By the rusty stove pipe,
And we left ol santy a plate
Of greens and beef tripe.

Sue Ellen and Bubba had been sent to bed
And they was dreamin bout the new bass boat
Out there in the shed

My ole lady lit a menthol
And started to bitch
You know that kinda shit
That'll give a grown man a twitch.

Then all of a sudden we heerd a big bang
So I grabed my .45
And got ready to kill somthing Goddang.

I busted through the door
In nothing but my shorts
I figured it was a nigger
Or one of their sort.

The moon was out
But fog had set in
So i triped on the lawnmower
And busted my shin.

But now you listen here ...
Yawl wont belive this shit,
There was Santy Clause
Havin a laughin fit.

He stood there a grinin
With that one yellow tooth
Then he said boy did you know
Theres a hole in your roof?

He asked me for rope
Or even some chains
Cause when he landed
He broke one of the reigns.

He had all them whitetails
Standin in line
And I couldnt help but think
They would taste might fine.

They all had names
But hell if I member cause id done got pissed,
On his way in
The sombitch topped out my timber.

Well I cussed him up one side
And then down tha other.
But nothing seemed to faze him
I even called him a mother.

He said now looky here
Im sorry bout those trees
aAnd I do feel bad
Bout that gash in your knee.

But now hang on a second
And ill make it up to you.
He got that bag
And dumped it all out,
Enough toys clothes and junk
To make any brat shout.

I said look ole man
You aint got nothin i need
But then i spied that sack
Of Purina dog feed.

I said well
I rekon i can take that
But we still aint even
You crazy old bat.

He kept on diggin
And come out with some skoal
But not that much ,
Hell it was half a roll.

A six pack got added
And then a nascar cap
But we both knew
#24 wasnt worth crap.

He looked with a twinkle
In both of his eyes
And said what do you need
Or do you want a surprise?

I mulled over this
For a short little spell
Then he laughed and said I got somthing here
You cant even catch on sale.

He grabed that red bag
And started givin it a shake
Then out fell a new motor
With a Holly intake!

I said now we bout right
But one more thing,
How come you stoped here
Or is this a dream?

But he didnt answer
Instead he just smiled
Jumped in the sleigh
And cracked that whip like wild.

Then all them deers
Lit out of that gate
Reminded me of Richard Petty
Comin through turn 8.

I took all my stuff
And threw it in the door
Then stood there and watched
Till i couldnt see him no more.

Now I do want to thank you
For readin this yarn
I tried mixin classics
With a little trailer trash charm.
But please dont forget
The true christmas meaning this year
And yall have a safe and happy new year.

Merry Christmas
