The Never Ending Story

That subject alone, can spur about 10 different "bloggable" subjects in my head, and probably will before the day is over, but I'll start with the one that it is truly meant for.









There are certain movies, that I remember watching as a kid, that I will always think of as "the classics". The Last Unicorn - the cartoon (people always ask if Tom Cruise was in it, and I have no idea what they are talking about), The Dark Crystal, and The Never Ending Story, were the most rememberable for me.









For some reason, The Never Ending Story has been on my mind, and boyfriend bought it for Doodlebug *wink* (and me) this weekend. It was a HUGE success! Doodlebug just loved it! I have seen it I think probably 5 times now, but I'm not com planing because that means, we aren't watching Cars. It's funny, because, when you watch something as a kid, then see it again as an adult, of course it isn't the same. But, when I was watching my son watch it, I could see myself so many years ago, consumed by the Rock Bitter, the racing Snail, the Empress that every little girl wanted to be with the hangy-downy pearl thing on your forehead. Anyway, it has been nothing but fun to watch it with him, and I have so far enjoyed all 5 times. Sometimes, I think that the best thing about having a child, is getting to act like a kid again, except knowing how to really enjoy it this time!

Now, for other things that can relate to the title:









My last court date was November 20, 2007. Seventy days later, I still do not have termination papers. I still have no child support. Last night on the news, there was a story about how apparently alot of deadbeat dads were rounded up and taken to jail. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=5918568 and I can't help but think:









Why can't anything happen to Doodle' bio.?? He has several websites dedicated to his "oh-so-profitable" business. and boasts of how much money that said business has made, yet is in personal bankruptcy, because he wants to keep his business's name out of the bankruptcy case. Has recently had a civil court case filed against his company, and then changed the company's name.









I have glanced at the new company website from time to time, and can't help but giggle. He is a 34 year old boy, whom when we split, was still attending fraternity parties on a more than "normal" basis. As a matter of fact, when I first googled their address, I found out that he has a non-profit organization set up at his home for his fraternity, as well as noticing that he has the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission as a creditor on his bankruptcy papers, coincidence?? But what I find funny about his company website is two-fold: the front is a book, with what looks like a crest (for a fraternity), and the last part is even funnier to me. When Larry and I began dating, he had just broken up with cocaine girlfriend, they liked to 'party' together, alot. Anyway, she had made the comment to him once "The 80s called, they want their bomber jacket back." He had told me this, and he just thought it was the funniest thing. I never said anything, as not to spoil what he thought was an original quip. However, on his professional business website, it says, and I am not lying,

"The 70s called, they want their aluminum siding back!"

I just about died when I saw that. Who in the world would write something like that? My ex and his dingo wife. So for reasons like that I laugh. But for people who boast to the world how fabulous their company is, why not pay child support? Why not sign the papers? If need be, I'll drive there with black pen in hand, and pay for the notary.









I guess I am talking about this, because I feel like until something is done, I just don't have closure. Everyone I know, keeps telling me to stop thinking about it, because all it does is drive me crazy. How do you stop thinking about it?









I worry from time to time, that she or he, will stumble across my blog. I know that they will know, who I am immediately, but I guess that is a risk I take.
