I feel compelled to point the three or so people who read this site to my friends' site.

On it you will find their position on the Amendment to ban gay marriage.
I must say that I agree with both positions and that they put it in a way that reminds me why they are friends that I hold in such high esteem.

Also Joe John's description of his new hockey equipment is pretty cool too.

Look at the posts from Friday, July 16th and Wednesday, July 21st. 

And any others if you like.

Peace,
Joe

I am indeed a travelin' fool.

THE EVIDENCE:

Exhibit A: I often use driving as a way to calm down, listening to good music and rocking out, even at stoplights.

Exhibit B: I once considered buying some driving gloves.  No, really.

Exhibit C: I have owned my 2003 SATURN ION (Molly to her friends) for just over a year now and she has over 26,000 miles on her.

This leads me to the next part of the post, which is that I am driving to Nashville this weekend to help Jenn move into her new place.  Molly will not be making the trip.  Aquinas (my mom's truck) will be there in Molly's stead, as she can carry big things and Molly can only zip past big things in third gear.
Many Chandlers are travelin' lately, which leads me to the next part of my post which is about Nick.
My younger brother (who I can still remember ducking for cover and screaming at the sight of Da Peeg with a pillow) will be going to Ft. Bragg this weekend for a two week stint with the Special Forces.  He'll be in the field trying to stay away from SF members.  This fact makes me:

A) Proud
B) Scared
C) Man, I love Peanut Butter!
D) Pray that the f-ing war will end before Nick is commissioned.
E) All of the above.

The answer is E.

Also, Peeg and Stacy are flirting with Japan.  Or moving there, maybe (!!!).  See their websites for details.

I hope everyone is well.
Peace,
Joe "Ramblin' Man" Chandler

Not much to say right now, I just felt a post was needed. But that does raise a good point... is is the quantity of posts or the quality?
So here I am posting, but my brain is a little empty and fried from the day (which is far from over) so the post will not be my best. So should I have posted in the first place? Well, I suppose that doing this does show some sort of "dedication" to my blog. But do you think that my blog would get its feelings hurt if I had waited another day or so and had something interesting (or not) to say? I don't know. I tend to anthropomorphize things anyway. You should see my family and pets. Or instruments. Or cars. Ok, everything.
I give human voices and personalities to everything. So I guess if I put forth the effort to give my blog a voice it might be saying, "Stop it, Joe. This post has really not gone anywhere or said much of anything. But I still like you, because you are the one who gives me a voice and can basically decide what it is I say."
I realize that the fact that I just scolded myself through my blog by making it talk could be interpreted as mentally unstable. Don't think of it that way. I prefer for you to think of it as "healthy" and "creative."
Man I need to take a nap.

I hope everyone is well,
Peace,
Joe
