choose your own adventure.
choices are very much a part of life. lets discuss a few that are presented in a funny manner.
heaven on earth
http://music.ibiblio.org/pub/multimedia/chinese-music/Folk_Music/X02.Heaven_On_Earth.au
it’s Wednesday evening fall of 2006 or six years ago nearly the phone rings in evening with the offer for a very much group date to see jack nicholson movies or hang out with the boys in engineering club. I actually chose the chance to get tipsy and play with power tools ) no offense, the feeling of inclusion in life seemed a far bigger bonus than a non chance at getting any.
I cringe at the notion of spending 5 bucks when with minor adjustments I can spend 3.50.. it’s like losing a beer. a real beer. tear in the beer you didn’t get to cry in. but I have hit the lucky lottery and made a mixed six at 12 pack prices and won. won! yay. I remember @frenzelectric discussing beers and mention a stella artois which isn’t in my ordinary rotation I had forgotten what it tasted like I got one it’s not the sweet note of grolsch but like a grolsch dry. I got a moosehead to see how it compared. I then grabbed two of something I know is good – breckenridge brewery’s vanilla porters, and then the bigger test/try hoegaarden wit bier. courtesy of another asking the question a world away, @michellelyng – thank you for something yay. the result my sister likes the beer might consider it
. it is a better version but according to the dude at the liquor store like blue moon beer where you don’t need the orange slice- accurate and tasty.. all for 2 bucks more than a six of the good usuals choices or a cheap 12′s worth. this time I dont feel jipped. yes, choose your own adventure you know life
yes this is funny enough but here’s more of the normal life
so I wake the other day stumble in the dark across the house to this houses’s one bathroom upstairs and then see the empty couch ba wha? was my house guest scared off? can’t see if that’s a vehicle sparkle througha wall of foliage- this is going to require pant…damn it. and lo and behold as I grap mine my seperated set up space of my room has my silent houseguest sleep. lol wouldn’t it just figure I get a gal in my room and I friggen don’t know it
.if you choose the mix and match beer door turn to page 99
. if you pick the cheap twelve of another night the same turn to page 32
if you go to bed early and wake to surprise theres a hidden girl in your room feel like a goof turn to page 69.
if you dump the offer of the fat cooking school trained chef’s notion of group date don’t get any and to page left out 45 which says you’ve one a great saturday up in a no name town playing with powertools while drinking suds – the end

hey, seems your weekend is lot of fun and options. No problems about the beer. Will keep explore new one
:P:P I want more options for adventure. hehe But not today. It’s Father’s Day here. Happy Father’s Day to all dads.
@MichellelyNg - :) hope you enjoyed
@starmanjones - thanks =D
pg 99
I used to love those books. I did them for book reports in 7th and 8th grade if I was short on time for reading or I just wanted to knock off my required reading for the quarter in a day so I could sluff off the rest of the time.
@MichellelyNg - :)
@godfatherofgreenbay - lol. naughty is a choice
good grief! entertaining and re-building. i need to come back and read this after less red wine
adventure? baby. i am living with one of those 
@Bels_Kaylar - I’m told that a bit more red wine might actually help
.
@starmanjones - good grief, you’re funny, beer or no! i’m sorry, did i say that out loud?? kinda wish i liked beer, so that i could enjoy your comparisons more. but. drinking and power tools, that was plenty worth coming to visit
wait til i get my welding up and running. let’s pray i don’t get so confident that i keep my bottle of merlot next to the tanks 
@Bels_Kaylar - :) lol. I just found it amusing because it’s that fun little notion of life – to put seemingly edted situations together- it isn’t effacement persay but a haha if i was only someone else type of thing I woudn’t notice little details that oh say I wasn’t sharing space for “that” purpose but a far different one never mind how it looked. or I didn’t have a clue my one an only given chance to meet a myspace friend became updated to fb land was never going to offer another shot and pardon me for thinking as a returning freshman I had a shot with lower skill in math to engineer. I signed into school in the first place because I was interested not in it being just possible to build my own home via a superadobe method but what I was after and still am is the notion that I wasn’t shoveling dirt but going to make the place resalable partially if down right which took talents I thought school might lead to. ll it was but still laughing at the agony of choices
or wow a date with a real live girl and I chose a club of never gonna get it dorks with a box of beer? someone question my sanity please! lol.. sorry I should punctuate I know you’d appreciate it but nah you’re smart enough )tom foolery really and as I say no one lets me play with power tools much so but again many factors of guesses reflect into my integrity i don’t think if given a fair hearing I chose all that dumb but in a way that I felt had the best chances of improving my life. but where is the fun in saying ba wha? where’d the friend’s wife go oh stupid she was 3 feet from you in the dark in your own room and you are obvlibious! obvilious I tell you boy *to myself)a lol I mean that’s funny. or wannnnhbig boy had to pony up the cash to pay and play at the liquor hut awwwwww… i mean haven’t you ever felt just a little too “cheap” sometimes we must 
for holiday booze trying gourmet things . I paid to know what i do and caught all the hell for not having this or that more with my opportunities cious about being not only allowed but to maybe make inroads with friends who owned trucks but also worked at maybe discount rates for cement companies? ooo la la or – remember never to trust a skinny chef.- trust me i wasn’t angling to be mean because she was padded I actually found that proof of good food0 but the chances of love in a last second group date is not proof of interest as of “that” type but maybe friends- I took the beer option lol. beer and powertools because i cherish that feeling of joy of creating withing a shower of flying steel my ability to share. or lol yeah I like beer but I have drank around the globe from the walk up liquor window. my name is josh and it rhymes with slosh not so much as I drank more than anyone I didn’t but I sure as heck spent well buying stemware sets
@starmanjones - goodness, starman who used to have another name, but i seem to have killed the dendrite/axon that would let me remember it
i am just barely smart enough to follow half of what thou is saying here, but, i hear you about choices, and the funny editing, and appreciate same. not to mention sharing the joy of showers of steel 
i grew up on a farm in the ’60′s, and ‘had’ to wait til i was in my later ’50′s to indulge in being one of the boys. life is phunny.
@Bels_Kaylar - :) don’t worry, my computer delights in making me, the king of the runn thought, further rorschachen in my writings
but mmmm some things are fun like the joy of expression be that steel or the pen.
@starmanjones - indeed, creativity is the reason for a heartbeat. all the rest is just icing on the proverbial cake.
@Bels_Kaylar - hmn steel shavings aflame atop table rounds… thats cake-like!
@starmanjones - true, dat
*wondering if i can set up photo like that*
@Bels_Kaylar - offff coooouuurrrrse you can
– car hart jacket blond blind idiot chop saw metal cutting blade – table saw veeeery rentable, tad heavy borrow an atlas let the sparks FLY! (focus close to blur distance – it soo helps as in creation is a close up thing…focused 
) ( fire extinguisher, burn ointment, proper safety eyewear ear plugs – you know those comfy ones! blurable distances something maybe but no one will really guess… and beer – lunacy happens with beer – hoegaarden – one must upgrade the wheatbeer to something tasty… plus with a name like that you too can be in …pun now…dutch.)
@starmanjones - ;) maybe i need some wine to understand all of this. but too early in a.m. i am only a sinner so far, and then not. maybe i only dabble. but still, i do want to make steel tables, artsy, of course. i just need the mate to photograph me, whilst fired up
(? a name like…yours? or mine? which is dutch? 
@Bels_Kaylar - dutch….in dutch….trouble. as for photography
I take a picture on occassion care to see? as to the WINE you keep harping about. rhine? gwerstrameiner, allsace, reisling, sauvignon blanc,pinot grisgio,sherry,ice wine, note the lack of the evil punishment chardonnay… merlot,pinot noir, malbec, burgundy,shiraz,cabernet, cabernet sauvignon, chianti? port? concord passover?
@starmanjones - sorry, i don’t mean to WHINE
but, boy you seem to know yours. ice wine. you are reminding me that i so wanted to try some!
and yes, of course, post some of that photo work that you do! (if you do facebook, i posted the first weld project.)

Gimme stella artois & that book, and I’m good..;)
@Xcite_Media - lol – for you
presentd gems
I’m old so I just drink Miller Highlife…it’s the champagne of bottled beers…also my husband refuses to let me use the power tools, I think that is just wrong
@mlbncsga - lol easy pickings then to bbq with you
and how greedy is that?
Actually I have a lotta pick-your-own-path books. I started with the TSR Endless Quest series, especially by Rose Estes, and went from there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Estes
I thought she did an especially good job on Revolt Of The Dwarves where a boy has an opportunity to leave the human world and live with in the fairy-world. A beautiful dream to be sure …
@dw817 - :) I may justhave to
thanks 
yours first
@starmanjones - Do you have any pick-your-own-path books of your own ?
If not, you might start with Grail-Quest written by J. H. Brennan found HERE.
The difference between his books and the other pick-your-own-path books is that you use paper, dice, and pencil to fight monsters, use your inventory, keep track of artifacts and your position, in addition to using maps to plot out where you need to go.
They’re also fun to read !
Mr. Brennan was also born in Ireland and it shows with his unique sense of style and humor, despite the books still being in English. He has a unique sense of writing that makes his work hard to put down once you start any of them.
@dw817 - I do not, I am off to the library today as I have to read the conversations with god books, now the pick your own path books ahhhhhhhh. boooks, if I can manage it beer or perhaps a nice bit of nommy foods.
@starmanjones - Beer ? That stuff tastes like pennies in water to me.
And yet I remember one fellow commenting to the Doctor from Doctor Who about missing a certain brown brew back in England. And of course the Doctor said, Tea ? And the fellow licked his lips and replied, nossir, ALE.
Some of the pick-your-own-path books are pretty hard to find today. I did find quite a few of them, however, over at YWCA one time. I spend more time reading eBooks on my PSP now than real books, unless they’re Junie B. Jones which I like to collect now. Those are fun to read.
