Garrett Duke

Hey talking about my story and Bo...who's your favorite Duke character? Guess I just assumed Luke since he's on your picture, but I guess I should never just assume anything. Which is your favorite episode? Can't believe we spenta ll this time talking and do't think we really talked Dukes before. HA HA. Well maybe a little bit at the beginning now that I think of it. . .

I hope you enjoyed your nephew and that you had a great weekend. Just think, Bristol is now less than a week away! I bet you are so anxious and excited for it. I am and i don't even get to go. I'd have to say Bristol is one of my favorite tracks - though I think i already told you that. HA HA. I am hoping that you get to watch a great race...an exciting race and that all your drivers have a great race - finishing behind Gordon who'll win the race. Of course. HA HA. Sorry I had to say that. (Didn't want to worry you by saying I wished anyone would do better than Gordon in a race.)

Well you survive the weekend w/out a race to watch? I think I did...sadly. HA HA. Though I am not complaining...my muses for my story finally decided to cooperate with me and I spent the whole day Sunday writing. (Though I am sure poor Ol' Bo who got pretty badly beaten was wishin' I didn't get to writing. Don't know why he always finds himself in trouble or hut in my story. Dang muses anyway!) So at least I got something out of an off day Sunday.

Howdy yourself. How are you?

Saw you were online and thought I'd send ya a quick hello!

*Grouchy...you're the one making me grouchy! Let me go and I won't be grouchy!*

Talking of writing...I have finally broke out of my block (I shouldn't say that too loud, it may change) but on seeing how badly Bo just got beat and is now in the ER, I am seeing why my muses don't want to cooperate with me. I think Bo will be very mad at me when ever he wakes up.

Wow you do have a lot of characters. I think maybe more than i, but all of mine are DOH characters. I have Garrett (of course), Kristy and her two kids. Ethan McKleen who helps Cooter and LB at the garage and who had worked at LB's old garage before he moved to Hazzard (who looks like Billy Currington) and I have a new one that only another person knows about. PI Pheonix Remlinger...AKA Nix or Rem and looks a lot like Lorenzo Lamas' character on Renegade - Vince Black or Reno Raines.

Though I know what you mean about characters though...I have a hand full of them all. Just Garrett is the more ...don't know. He's not talkative so he's not more talkative than them, but more alive I guess you should say. More dominant than the others. Plus I have one that I have yet to introduce t hat is wanting to be used. Whatever happened to the cannon characters I use to always write for? Truth be told, I write more for them than I do Garrett anyway, but my created characters will outnumber the cannon ones pretty soon if they keep coming like they want to. I should just shove 'em all in a closet and lock the door on 'em all!

How many characters do you have? I though you only had Lori?

Well then on those every day where I ain't man handled, I consider myself lucky then. Now let me go!!!!

Ah the big ol' world is waiting for you Lori...don't fight it, embrace it! You'll do fine, just be yourself.

OOoo never knew that Lori was intentionally meant for CSI...though I guess I don't blame her for not wanting to leave Hazzard once you brought her there. That'd be kinda like cruel and unusaully punishment -placing her in a nice place such as Hazzard where Garrett is and then yank her out and expect her to return to the world of CSI where Garrett or the other Dukes aren't at. Shame on ya for even thinkin' of that...poor Lori! HA HA HA. Just joking....

How about you? Hope you had a great day today!

I've had a good day today...though spent a lot of time fighting with Garrett...errr...my muses in attempt to write today. I haven't even started chapter four yet to my series story and I finished chapter three a couple of months ago at least. Well I guess I did get some started this afternoon and am currently trying to write it as well. Don't know if I can blame Garrett for it since I am writing for another character, but he's the driving force behind my writing so I blame him. HA HA. Maybe not the driving force...dunno, but he gets the blame one way or another. Afterall, how am I to blame Bo or Luke or Jesse?

*raises a questioning eye brow* I don't enjoy nothing, huh? I'll tell you what I'd enjoy...I'd enjoy being let go! What's up with people holding me hostage lately. I didn't do NOTHING!

Well ignore Garrett...he'll get over it. (that's from his author...but don't tell him I said so )

It is great to hear your dreams and to know what you want to do. I wish you the best of luck with it - as I said, am sure you will do well with it. Are you excited for it? When do you get to start into all that? (Aren't you in your senior year?) Sorry for all the questions. . .

Well I hope you don't get too bored either. Have a great weekend!

It is ironic on how different people are saying it and how opinionated they are about it. Oh well...what really counts is what NASCAR says and does about it and I think they have dealt with it properly. I am thinking I am done paying much attention to all taht stuff...sorry if I complained or talked too much about it. It just really bugged me seeing them say that about Edwards...though I have my opinion so I guess they are right to their own.

Dang! I'm sorry about your Roush racing deal...that is disappointing! Hopefully he pulls through for you in Bristol.

I know...don't they know Gordon's gonna win each next race? It's only common sense to me! It does make it hard because I so want to use him, but I know I can't use him all the time if I want to use him later on. I have only eight more times I can chose him as a starter driver. (There is a starter and a backup driver that only counts as to where he qualifies at and that don't count. So at letast I can use him there:) ) If it makes you feel any better, in my team, I am in third place in my team of three players. (Dead last. where I normally am in stuff like this. URGH!) I need to think hard as to who to go for at Bristol...

I am with you there with the packing thing. Would be the same way as well. The listi makes a lot of sense - I should do that next time I need to pack for something.And it is a whole lot more fun packing than unpacking - hate unpacking!

*Cold stare* Only you would think that way. Shame on you, Lori!

Ooo good luck with that! Sounds complicated to me, but am sure you can do great with it. Complicated and something you have to be brave to do if that makes sense.

Hope you have a great Friday and that you'll enjoy your weekend if I don't talk to you beforehand. HOpefully you can find something to occupy yourself with no race...enjoy your nephew!

Well it is I again. Are you tired of me yet? LOL. That is too bad about being up most of the night for the warning or alarm. That doesn't sound like fun at all. At least it wasn't a tornado. We had a thunderstorm...first one this year so it was kinda neat. Though my dog, Lilly, is afraid of them...well she tries to hide from them under my computer chair or in my bathroom or near the door. Of course it has to have the storm right when I go to bed so she is in bed shaking. Poor girl. So I felt bad for her and didn't get to sleep when I went to bed either. That and this weird alarm type sound was going off and on outside my window somewhere. Still have no idea what it was, but didn't go to sleep until it was done going off whatever it was. So I understand how ya feel...then again, if I actually got to bed when I should have, I probably would have slept through most of it (Except Lilly probably would have woken me up with the storm).

Well if you think it is so much fun, maybe you should untie me and I'll tie you up so you can see just how fun it is.

Eh be patient...in the long run it'll be worth it. Though do know how you feel. You'll get there.

OK sorry...don't understand why people are all onto Edwards about it now. He did it once and he is automatically a bad guy and should face the ultimate punishment. If he had only spun Keselowski out as his intentions were, it would have been thought of as a racing incident and nothing would be done or said about it. But since he flipped him...which I understand people's reactions it was horrible and scary and it was wrong of Edwards. But I don't think it is worth parking Edwards for mor than what they already did...especially an entire season.

*Sighs* Sorry again for my venting...once I get started I can't stop. My parents are always telling me I shouldn't read all that stuff that people say, but I can't help it and then it only upsets me. And this is Edwards...hate to see if it were Gordon. HA HA HA.

That article did put it into words. I am getting so sick and tired of people's reactions to it by now. I think everyone is over reacting. I am at Gordon's fanforum now and got done reading a thread about it...people are actually arguing about it! Some people are saying he should be parked all year until he can grow up and be more mature and how he is just a spoiled brat and that is his true self coming out. That he should be arrested for premediated murder! How crazy is that?! Then you have a couple others sticking up saying he didn't intentionally flip him and that those others are over reacting. They actually blame Edwards for Keselowski flipping him in Talledega since he was blocking him...guess I remember it as Brad bump drafting him. Maybe I was wrong? Still what is Edwards suppose to do, allow him to pass to win?

Oooh Good luck with your Rousch thing. WIsh Hendrick had something like that...guess I'll stick with the fantasy team that I am losing at. HA HA. (Sad thing is I can only use each driver nine times in the season...which means I have to chose someone other than Gordon to win... How they expect me to do that?) I guess I will try not to blame you for Edwards...

HA HA HA. Well if it is me that is making Gordon lose, I think I am with you all the way. I'll start going for Kyle Busch...uck. On second thought, I don't think I could ever bring myself up to that. Though I do think Gordon does have a good team backing him up, so they are bound to start going in the right direction sooner or later. Am just hoping it will be sooner rather than later.

Too early to pack for Bristol? You hear what Waltrip said at Atlanta? That people in their trailers or campers were already starting to camp out there for the race...hmph and you say it's too early to pack! LOL. I bet you are geting anxious for it...me too and I don't even get to go. So unfair!

Fun? YOu call this fun? I'm a little tied up and you think I should be having fun.

Eh that's true. Hope when they do arrive, you will enjoy them as well. Or learn something from them at least.
