kjpepperThe randomest thoughts go through your brain as you scrape a shovel through a cubic shitwad of snow. One, is the obligatory grumbling of having to be out there doing this in the first place, but I have noticed that this time around it was less onerous to do, even though I was out there by myself. I haven't done the majority of the driveway yet, as numb toes and a sense of begrudging futility drove me inside after working for about an hour and a half, but as the biceps attest, if this keeps up I'm gonna be one buffass mutha. A week of heavy snow is about a month of biking's worth in the bicep department. ha. Still the task is not without its share of growling, especially having to dig out the foot of the driveway. Snowplows are evil, remorseless bastards. Not even a by your leave for leaving you several feet of crap at the end of your driveway which you then have to dig out. Bleh. Still... today I found myself rather thankful for the chore - one that I'm strong and able enough to do it at all - and I'm figuring out that I am a pretty strong chickie... though I'd like to be stronger I think - and two... I dunno, there is something about shovelling, when I'm actually in the head zone for it, that's kinda peaceful and conducive to idle thinkage.
Paragraph.
So random non snow related thought - why does everyone have such a bugger up their ass about sanitizing things for the sake of the proverbial children? OH NOES my kid saw a naked breast on TV OMGlets sue. Nigga. Please. What's so fucking offensive about a boob? Or sex for that matter? And why the sudden big concern about violence in the media? Hello, has everyone missed the violence inherent in the fairy tales we all grew up reading? Lets not even talk about that vaunted tome being thumped through the middle of this fine country. Ever read it? 'Cause honestly, I've read romance novels less debauched and grisly. Of course, when parents and families were actually doing their jobs and instilling senses of right and wrong into kids rather than pointing responsibility at everything else other than themselves...
It was about this point when your ranting heroine's shovel hit a nasty patch of ice, nearly spilling her headfirst into a snowbank.
I've been in for about half an hour and my toes still haven't really thawed, so I'm going to see if hot beverage and shower do the trick. After that dishes, dinner maybe, and perhaps venturing out with my noisy little red and black friend to clear the driveway...
