I can only point you down the path of entertainment that I follow.

That would be from random searches, or maybe something I heard through a third party that could have possibly, under the proper mood that is, lent to, at that moment in time anyway, being construed as enlightening entertainment to some, if not all, people who find things of that nature entertaining, or at least some thing close to that, in a positive way that could be looked a pone by me at the time I heard about it.

Now that we have that out in the open …

I enjoy online comics … more then I should I mean it takes me 30 min a day to read the few I read every day.

I also like of strange music.

Nothing like GWAR, but just some odd stuff.

My mother said once to my sister and I that we would look back on the music of our childhood and think it was the best … I agree but that’s because the stuff before was to slow and boring, and the stuff after … well … Rap is not music, Country needs to stop already how many songs can be written about death and disappointment, Rock is dead, Pop is … yea … and alternative makes my head hurt, not the music but how can it be alternative if everyone is doing it and the only thing close to it is Pop and Rap?

So I go to the other side of the wall, no not JPoP … (That needs to stop too I might add!) but how about something like Alternative Country?

It is strange, it’s fun though in my mind, take a look at this link and tell me what you think?

Just listen to the words … I give you:

Todd Snider - Talkin' Seattle Grunge Rock Blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_qQ78JVtS8

Now I know that you all just loved that link and want to know more about this music, so, listen to Real Radio 104.1 Sunday Mornings.

As for the online comics, well, you all more then likely will not understand most of them because you have not found your inner geeks and nerds just yet.

Well my loyal lackey’s, I feel bad for going so long with out giving you all something to think about.

I am trying to come up with things other then Religion, Military or Work.

Well, that’s about all that I have going on in my world anymore so it makes it hard to do anything else.

I could talk about La Wife and other less interesting things but I am trying to keep you all entertained!

I guess talking about her is better then nothing though …

Nah, lets just run with something else shall we?

The new guy who took my old job is doing well, great actually.

My new job is going well, great actually.

Nothing going on with the VA …

Got our income tax return and of course the car and dog have to go get worked on within a week using up that money.

Day light savings time sucks big time!

We also almost got hit my an asteroid … yea don’t feel to bad no one knew until 2 days before hand and they kept it on the down low.

Isn’t it nice to now know that if the world is about to end they will not tell us before hand?

What? You don’t believe me?

Take a look at this and then look it up and get all the other news channels and information on it.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=asteroid+nearly+hits+earth+march+2009

The government says they had no clue … I am sure that the Aliens we are in contact with gave them a heads up or that the SGC took care of it for us in the last couple of minuets.

Thank God we have SG1 around, right?

That’s it, I will do something mind blowing someday … or more then likely not but I have dreams people!

What you might ask?

Well, why people are so overweight or course!

I know, you are asking how so many people have tried and I, your lowly want-to-be wordsmith has come to the final conclusion?

Some think it is genetics, some lazy, some bad eating habits, more with the lazy thoughts, some say TV, and some blame reincarnation issues from there previous alien bodies …

I am going to start a new line of though if you will.

I am going with because it makes God happy!

O go ahead and throw the whole “Genesis 1:27 - And God created man in His own image” then also in “Corinthians 6:19 - Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” and how we need to respect it and treat it well and all that jazz.

Now, to my thoughts on this matter!

God created us in his image and resides in us so we are supposed to be a temple of respect in his image.

I’m good with this, honestly I am, but when was the last time anyone has scene the BIG GUY though?

What I am saying it, over time our bodies change.

Joints start to hurt a little, wrinkles form and our hair turns a different color.

The big one though is, we normally gain weight.

Now I think that this must be the natural progression of the human form, and because we are made in God’s form for him also.

Yes people are fatter today because more people, who must be closer to God then the rest, are taking on a closer form and look like God.

O, you think that I am throwing out blasphemies aren’t you.

I disagree!

We have a population of more then any other time.

We have more evil in the world then ever before.

God has a lot of enemies right now and putting them all ‘under his foot’ is taking awhile because, let’s face it, times are tough!

So, let’s say I am getting a little older and working like 16 hours a day do I really have time or the energy to go home eat healthy and then work out too?

I can totally see God coming home at the end of the day smacking Jesus and Michael on their backs saying what a good job they have done you know throwing flaming swords around and saving people and just longing to eat real fast and then get some sleep before he has to start up ruling the universe in the morning … again …

So God, being all knowing and powerful, does what is the most efficient to get this schedule going as quickly as possible.

He swings by the big Golden Arches in the Sky!

You know they are there we have heard for years and years about St. Peter standing out in front of them after all!

(We all saw what happened to Morgan Spurlock in Super Size Me after all.)

So, now on to the other side of my point …

We are destroying the world by building everything we can think of everywhere they let us.

This leads us to fewer places to bury our dead …

So more people are getting cremated …

I know you have no clue were I am going with this one …

So reading through “Leviticus 3” it tells us why this is important …

(Wow even I feel a little dirty typing this out so I had better at least get a ‘Wow that’s messed up” smirk out of you people!)

God says to Moses that if people are to make a communion sacrifice they need to take all of the fatty organs and fat in general and burn it because this gives God a ‘Restful Odor”.

You all with me now?

That’s right, cremating fat people makes god Happy because as Jesus said to us after all that we are ‘Sheep’.

I am not sure why God likes the smell of burning fat, I might ask him right before he throws me into that long pit to hell, but the Bible does say it and I am just connecting the dots … without numbers I might add so I am getting all kinds of strange images!

Yea, I know, all that for a big build up to nothing good, and possibly a straight shot into hell for my blasphemies.

A person in my life about 6 months ago said something to me that hurt me like he had no clue.

It was profound enough for me to actually stand up for myself, mind you all, and you might not know it, I don’t do that very often.

Sure I will stand up for anyone else but that’s a different story.

I normally let things slide and try to not cause many problems especially when it comes to people I know and deal with on a daily basis.

… You all only see me when I am mad or around others so shush you just don’t know!

I put up with a lot over the years, and a lot of you have heard some about it but this was the final straw.

He said that I wasn’t injured enough to use the VA.

He assumed that I don’t have the right to have access to something that is there for people like me.

He showed that people who don’t know have no clue.

People, who think they know, don’t have a clue.

People, who work with these people, don’t have a clue.

I was talking to a co-worker and he was telling me about Vietnam.

Wow, you ever think that you have it bad let me have you sit down with some of these guys.

He was the ‘point man’ for his unit for 6 months, he had white sulfurous hit him in the face, he was forced to jump into some punji sticks, a lot of other things for another time and story, but in the end he got back and was treated poorly by his fellow American’s.

I had nothing like that, wow nothing at all like that.

We had some fun issues ourselves but only one today I wanted to talk about.

Ready for it?

Wait, let me bounce real quick …

AMERICAN IDOL!!!

I know I need help but I love this crazy show!

Simon cracks me up, Randy is a fool, Paula is a drug addict and then the new girl … Kara Dioguardi … yea good times!

One of the problems I have from my military time is I can’t go on American Idol.

To the point though, the reason I can’t go on this show.

They at some point make you sing a song of their choice.

I know this doesn’t sound so bad, I mean I have the voice of a thousand little angels after all … although some people say more like angels who are being torched in Hell, or even torturing the angels in Hell … but so not the point!

I was watching this wonderful show yet again and it popped into my mind that I couldn’t do it.

No, again not because of my lovely voice, or my age because lets face it once they see me they would wave that rule just on my looks … be nice people they let Norman on there!

It is because they might make me sing that one song, you know the one.

Then I would have to say I am sorry and walk off the stage upsetting all of my loyal followers once again.

You don’t know the one?

How is that possible?

Let me tell you a story then …

(Fade to black … no not the rocking Metalica song just the color!)

Picture if you will me getting off a plane in Cairo, Egypt and getting bussed off to the port to unload.

We arrive and low and behold they are playing American Music, how kind, doesn’t it feel like home …

After a few hours of not paying attention we noted that they have already played this song and wait for the next one to see if it is a short tape and they only have a few songs on it.

The same song played again, then again and again.

24 hours a day and 7 days a week we heard the same song over and over.

Gloria Gaynor’s I will Survive.

Now Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris never had a clue that the song that they had written would not only one day be a female empowerment song, or even an anthem for abused people, but I have faith that they NEVER would have guessed it would be used as psychological warfare.

I spoke to another friend of mine who was over there a few years before me and he said they did the same thing to him but they played Meatloaf’s Bat out of Hell.

I have no clue who had it worse back then but I think I win now because my song is still on the radio!

Now, you might ask what this does to me … when I hear the song I get a little upset.

That’s putting it nicely I think … I want to hit something, hard and a lot and until it stops moving.

The other problem is the solders over there would sing it too us.

So I associate Arabic people with this song too.

I would like to say that I am not a racist per say … but then I would be a liar I fear.

It doesn’t matter fat or thin, tall or short, attractive or like the others, I get angry when I see them.

I don’t know how others do it when in regards to Blacks, Hispanic or other races.

I mean, I don’t know how people can hate a whole people just because of the few extremists within it, or a group because they have a different faith … or how you can classify Jewish as a ‘race’ but that’s again another Blog.

That is all, normally, a learned behavior or in some people just something in the back of their head we might never understand.

Me though, and some of the people I know who went through this also, I feel have a reason.

I am not going to go out of my way to be mean or hurtful or negative in any way toward them.

I will avoid them because I know that it wasn’t them who did this to me but in the end … I want to hurt them.

How is it fair that I want to do this?

This person who I don’t know, who could have come up with the cure for some nasty disease or saved thousands by turning on their own people and stopping another World Trade Center attack from happening.

It doesn’t matter, I in some form or another hate them.

I know it’s wrong, I know it’s bad, I even feel bad about it while it is happening … doesn’t’ mean I can stop it.

Back to some point though … because I can’t hear or God forbid sing that song I can’t pursue my goal of winning American Idol, that makes me mad yet again and pushes the issue even further.

Knowing that because of a few peoples actions, I will have a negative reaction for the rest of my life

This is one of the things I have to deal with.

It isn’t a physical problem, but God Damn it, it is something that only a few people know about and it is something that hurts and bothers me in ways this person who said I can’t use the VA because I wasn’t hurt enough, can’t understand.

Physically, I must be because they decided to give me money every month because so many parts of me don’t work.

Mentally, I still have a constant memory loss and no childhood per say.

This one though, this one could get bad and ugly really fast.

God help me, or the person I see if I come across an Arabic person singing I Will Survive!

I am not joking and or trying to make a joke … but I don’t think they will, survive that is.

That’s just another thing I have to deal with and have a constant fear of.

I spend the rest of my life in prison abandoning and ruining La Wife’s life because some poor soul decided to sing to them self.

Yea, I have issues but because of people like me, no much better then me, you don’t have to have them.

I am just blessed that mine are so mild and wonder how so many others can even live with it.

So many people were killed from these conflicts.

So many over there, some from the injuries they sustained over time and then the few who couldn’t survive because of the problems left in their heads.

My issues are mild to say the least, these other men and women though.

Some of them just can’t find their way back home, and it’s been so long.

La Wife has joked to me about some of the stuff I did when I got back … the life I lived and the people I dated.

That’s how I dealt with it I think …

I am glad that that is all I did, I stayed away from drugs and alcohol some how …

That’s what I have to deal with … what will this next group have to deal with?

Also, aren’t you glad that they are out there so you don’t have to be …

Most of you know how I feel about religion … it’s full of liars, hypocrites and just evil people trying to get the best of others.

Not everyone is evil, a liar or a hypocrite … but enough for me to say that the whole batch is ruined.

I have a few signs though that I think prove my point.

Either bad people are leading these local churches or stupid people … either way more proof that I should not go to either.

Lets have a look shall we?

Hum …

Um … trying to say that God can … do anything he wishes with anything he has?

Like the old saying ‘We who have done so much, for so long, with so little are now able to do anything with nothing!’ … right?

Wait WHAT?

Wow, OK, I can see what they are going for … at the alter praying right?

I got nothing … that’s just perverted!

That’s right, I have done it again.

No lie, La Wife left me … no big surprise, right?

I have run off another woman who I thought was the one.

I would think that it was me, but come on, we all know that that is not an option.

This La Wife left but was much nicer then my last La Wife.

She left me with the dog, the new house and the car.

I would love to go on about how bad she was and how things are better without her, but, that would be a lie.

You all wanted in on my life so here it is.

My life is very miserable!

O, I still have a dog this time around and I can pay my bills without having to sell blood and marrow this time around.

I also have the positive outlook of I am not so new to the area and this time it wasn’t a few days before a BIG birthday.

The end result though is still in the same boat, I am all alone once again.

I am not sure of what I am going to do but I am glad that I have some friends to fall back on.

You never realize how good some friends are until times like this pop up.

You also learn how much your family really does care about you in your time of need.

Friday night I will be in Orlando and Saturday I will be in Tampa with friends but then Sunday will roll around and all I will be able to do is to think about La Wife.

The long horrible loneliness will roll over me once again and I will be stuck rolled up in a ball crying.

This time I will have Wonder Dog though …

Just keeping everyone in the loop and if you all want feel free to call or bring me food … I can tell already it is going to be a Slim Fast weekend of easy meals.

We all knew it was going to happen, I mean she is way to good for me anyway and I was just holding her back anyway.

I hope that she has fun and finds true happiness and I only wish her the best!

So, that’s that, I am going to go get a drink and go to sleep.

See ya Sunday La Wife I hope you have a blast at the convention!

Fine you want something to entertain you now do you?

Lets see if this works …

…

Um

…

Yea

…

I got nothing, sorry.

How about this then …

We are cat sitting, if you don’t know how I feel about cats, well, yea I am being a nice guy and that’s all that needs to be said.

I do think that this kitty will fit in a potato gun though … hum this might not be so bad after all … sorry back to the point …

We, for the few who do not know have a dog.

We thought that she would be a good dog and get a long with said kitten.

Now we know that they wouldn’t be best friends and did not hope for this.

But we thought that it might work out in some way or another.

Yea, the little mistakes can sometimes be the best right?

Wonder Dog and Silly Kitty were both on the bed.

I was holding Wonder Dog and La Wife was holding Silly Kitty when all of the sodden with no way of knowing that it was going to happen Wonder Dog got the brilliant ideal that putting Silly Kitties head in her mouth.

Yea.

So She didn’t bite down or growl or anything just kind of wanted to know what Silly Kitties head tasted like.

Silly Kitty had no clue what was going on and just sat there in a complete state of shock … Catatonic if you will … O’ come on, that’s funny stuff right there!

Wonder Dog let go and Silly Kitty sat still and at a loss as to what just happened when all of the sudden Wonder Dog needed another taste … and got one.

Silly Kitty sat there once again as we pulled Wonder Dog away and then they went there separate ways.

Wonder Dog into the living room, by force mind you, and Silly Kitty behind the toilet for the next three days.

So, now Wonder Dog sits at the bathroom door awaiting a chance to get under the door.

We now find her sitting around with her eyes closed in front of the door in what looks like she is praying.

Mind you Silly Kitty is doing the exact opposite and only trying to figure out a way of making her plans work out as best they could possibly could …

If said Silly Kitty does find a way to make her plans work out Wonder Dog needs to go hide because retaliations will be bad I fear!

So I was talking to a friend I have down in Miami aka ‘The not so Mother Land’ and it came up how the classes in school are bilingual and how you can actually graduate without knowing the language.

This lead to how all of the signs are in Spanish or some other goobly gook that I don’t speak and we started hating on how we have let this happen.

The American language is English the last time I checked but some how the lands south of the Everglades have not heard about this.

Or they did hear it but didn’t understand it because it wasn’t in Spanish?

This needs to be fixed!

I am all about the melting pot effect and bringing over your culture and blah blah blah but come one.

I am actually from down there and I can’t speak to anyone?

I think I have come up with an ideal on how to fix this situation and I am afraid that I might be the only one left who is capable of doing it.

I am willing to take one for the team but it might have lasting effects that none of us are ready for … we might long and want the effects but the first response’s might be a little strange with a lot of gasping and shocking from the onlookers.

I will expect my face on Mt. Rushmore and to be at least nominated as a write in for President after I have completed my mission for this great Country of ours!

I being of a somewhat sound mind, and of reasonable health, (No matter what my Dr. might say) … am thinking about (Because of my ADD though I will forget tomorrow so lets not put a lot of faith into my words) … taking back the ‘South!’

How you might ask?

Brace yourself this is so simple and I can’t believe it has taken so long to come up with, but brilliance cannot be rushed!

I am going to go down and with my charming good looks and my super persuasive personality, I am going to force myself into the mix of all the collage age girls.

I hear it now, how could this help?

Step 1) Well because I am just so darn attractive and woman swoon as I walk by … (Not because I have a Flatulence problem like some people I know!) I will win them all over and they will all want to be with me.

Step 2) After this happens I will not speak to any of them unless they can speak in English.

The few who don’t I will be forced to threaten to smack them.

The effect of a violence threat will make them think I am a ‘Bad Boy’ causing them to want me, and then they too will submit to my plans as well.

Step 3) The men will then see that the hot Gringo is stealing all of the women and they will think it is because I speak English and have an American accent so they will then learn the true local lingo as well trying to win back there women.

With no effect I might add, you can’t fight what I have!

Positive Side effects equal - All of the younger people speak English and then teach there children and then they teach there children so that in just 2 generations I have had the effect that I was attempting to draw forth.

It might be 4 or 5 generations but we are still talking about the same amount of years though … they just reproduce faster then the normal Americans.

Another positive effect is after I run for President I will have all of the Hispanic woman in the ‘South’, or ‘Northern Cuba’ as some might call, it vote for me!

Now I will need a few things to get my mission up and going but I think if I pitch it the right way to Congress and the House that I might be able to get a grant to live and party in South Beach … yea this might work after all …

First - I will need a ‘Hoopty’.

Nothing special but something borderline classic with all the additions.

You know, hydraulics, 7-coat paint that changes in the light as you look at it, ground effects and a stereo and speaker set up that could kill people from the bass.

Second - I will need to go back old school to the 70’s and bust out the Pimp outfit.

That’s right, purple leisure suit with matching hat and a giant feather … anyone have some of the boots with fish swimming in the heels anymore?

Third - I might need a knife … nothing like Dundee had but something to show that I mean business … switchblade might work but I don’t want to seem to cocky with anything bigger.

Gun … no this is going to be friendly I hope …

Now I do foresee a few problems.

One, some of the gangs are going to be upset with me taking all of there women.

Luckily I studied martial arts for a summer and the military showed me how to be a ninja … sorta … not really but this is my story so shut up already!

If they get to mouthy I’ll smack them too!

La Wife might disapprove and not like my mission, you know me having to be a stud and a borderline ‘Man Whore’ after all, but I have faith that she will be understanding that it is for the good of the Country!

Next, we have the problem of the music so I will need to get some GOOD ear protection.

I will have to learn how to dance too … that dance guys do during slow songs should work right?

The food will be a problem too … Flan is good but the rest of it …

Then I will have the problem of all of the older woman who will long to be near me too.

I do have that effect on them too I fear so I must figure out how to take care of them without destroying my reputation … Dad what are you doing?

Wait, no you go to bed at like 6pm now so you can’t be my stand in with the geriatric side of all of this.

These people can’t be that bright, I mean they don’t even speak English so they should fall for this right?

I mean we took the country from another group who didn’t speak English and that turned out … ok but I think I stand a chance right?

I think this plan might need some more work but it is a start.

All I can eat Flan … Yep I have to figure out how to make this work!

Now mind you it isn’t a lot of people but still enough of my reading audience … again not many people … that the point has now been made clear that not unlike myself, none of you have lives either and really do sit around waiting for the next Blog of a stranger in hopes of finding a glimmer of joy and amusement in the worlds of another.

So I figured, because I am a simple minded person after all … shut up you all you, you all are the people reading this after all so what does that say about you?

Back to my point that was lost because of your mean thoughts … being the simple person that I am (Stop Snickering!) I am going to go back to something I love to complain about myself.

What is that you might ask?

OK, ask already so we can all move on all right?

That’s right, Catholics!

Now, some of you don’t know this but my father was raised Catholic … ok almost all of you know that because if you know me you know him but roll with me on this already please!

My first ‘real’ girlfriend was raised Catholic … and had just gotten out of a Catholic school when we first met … pardon me as I reminisce … (Phonics does not work on that word I might add!)

Now, we all have read … ok a lot … um some … well a few of us have read the New Testament … right?

There are things in there that Jesus says to do and not do.

Now Catholics say that Jesus is the Son of God and that his words are the end all, be all of things we should be following.

So, um, why do they not?

Today I will only hit on one topic because I want to back everything up with the books and versus so let’s start small shall we?

All I can say is wow!

So many people are putting so much faith into him that it makes me wonder if anyone can fill the shoes they are sizing him up for?

He has dreams and goals and I hope that they all work out.

I have dreams and goals and they never seem to so if his luck is anything like mine the country might have been in better care if we had kept Bush for another 4 years!

At what point did you all realize that you can type without looking down?

Sorry just something I am wondering to myself as I now know that I can talk and type without looking down anymore about two different subjects.

It’s kind of cool … I am an easy man to please.

Speaking of pleasing … I got new boots!

I know that doesn’t sound so great but they are for work and they rock!

All nice and comfortable … and they look cool too!

La Wife made me get them!!!

Now I have a cool set of biker boots, a cool biker jacket, a sweet biker drover and what’s that last thing I am missing?

O’yea my X-Boss pointed it out to me … the bike.

He called me a poser … he is, sadly, correct.

I mean, even this guy has a bike … I am SO doing something wrong … mind you so is this guy too I might add!

The new job is going well, I would like to say that it is keeping me so busy and that’s why I haven’t posted but that would be a lie.

I will try harder … I have nothing better to do anyway so I might try and throw you all a bone now and then.

Wonder Dog hasn’t been feeling so well lately.

Proof you ask, well bring over a steam cleaner and I will show you.

Silly old mutt’s liver decided it needed more attention and low and behold 2, yes 2 and not 1, credit card latter … we wait and see if the stuff they did works.

For the people who do not know Wonder Dog, (That more then likely means that you mean little to me and you should try and buy my affection because if I am important to you, you must be a total looser and I am the closest thing to a friend you have so buy me gifts so I will pretend to be your friend!) she is a cute and relatively good pet.

She breaks free once and awhile, normally when people who should be trying to buy my affection are watching over her, but other then that she is a good pet … a little bit of a bed hog too but it is on the wife’s side so it’s all good!

The point of all of this is though, it must be OK to be rich!

We had the money to take care of her, it hurt but we can still do it.

So many people in the world right now can’t even afford to have a pet.

So many can’t even eat, so they get a pet, then they soon need another …

I started my new job today and that means I got a raise.

So, La Wife and I can finally do something we always wanted to do with all of the extra cash we will be getting form now on!

Wait, we do everything we want as it is … we actually live a good life … hum, well, who knows what we will do with all of our new found wealth but I am sure it will have something to do with bills and loans to pay back.

Did I mention that getting an invention up and going costs a small fortune?

Or that we tried a version of the Bacon wrapped thingy on the post below?

We did it with hamburger and I cooked it a little to long but it wasn’t to bad people!

Talk at you all latter!

(Just a quick something so my Blog doesn’t feel lonely)

So I guess the fraise might have something to do with the words as we break them down.

Relation … nice and basic isn’t it?

It means stuck with someone for some reason that might not be obvious but still holds to the fact that you are stuck until said word is dissolved or you are dead.

Ship … must come from the old days when a boat was on smooth water and enjoyable and like the see can be in a moments time, and without warning I might add, all goes crazy and you are in the middle of a hurricane.

This I have come to see, over my many, many years, can come from just about anything.

Not answering a question quick enough because you actually tried to give it thought, being honest, not being honest, coming home a little late with the smell of perfume and red lipstick on your shirt …

Or, it can come from just one person trying to say something and the other just not hearing it, as it was meant to be heard.

Then that being followed up with other people’s thoughts, or insecurities, and how the other person is seeing the issue instead of how it is meant to be.

The next issue is, how to deal with the … conflict, no … fight, no … issue, no … WAR!

That’s right, lets skip the little things like do we go to get burgers or taco’s for dinner and jump right on into the big stuff, like, hum … I want a darn Taco and she wants a Burger … we have issues :p

Back to the point though, we have come to know that there are three sides to the story, hers, mine and right/mine.

So, take a second, not to long or you will get in trouble, and take a breath and try and figure out what in the world your crazed significant other is trying to say.

Remember that you love them and that with DNA testing it is harder and harder to hide the body.

Also, remember that divorce equals alimony … yea good reason to let her win!

Lastly, you are with them for a reason and in the end they are worth the little fights ever once and awhile … if it is more regular, seek therapy at your local tavern!

Somehow we all say things that seem innocent and simple but the other takes it to far and thinks it was said to be mean and hurtful … OK this is true sometimes but I blame Wonder Mutt when that happens saying that she told me to say it … no it doesn’t help.

Things I don’t understand as a guy though are:

That’s just a few things though … I have SO many more!

My point is, we all have stress, we all have problems, we all have things going on that we hide and keep to ourselves or just don’t realize are as bad as they seem.

We get into these ‘Sticky-Boats’ for a reason, be kind to each other and try to be helpful and considerate as time needs sometimes.

Most importantly though … I will almost never admit I am wrong and getting an apology out of me is a wish at best.

I am right … it might not make any since but in my head I am and that’s all that matters!

So, it’s new years day.

I was up late, go figure, and now up early.

I cooked black eye peas for the first time yesterday … a little to much red pepper otherwise good I guess.

It came to me that I haven’t ranted about anything in a long while … so … isn’t it about time to start up again?

Isn’t that what I use this Blog for?

A bouncing board of my truer thoughts and a form of entertainment for all of you I, right?

So, now I need a little something to rant about.

I can’t think about anything at this moment, sorry to let you all down.

How about this though, Happy New Year … does that work?

I have once again been smacked in the face with that strange Cosmic Balance thingy.

I have been working on a job change for 6 months now.

Someone dropped the ball and I had to restart the whole thing, then no one knew what paperwork I was supposed to do and then that was a whole other issue.

So, I was getting upset and as some of the positions I wanted to have I was passed over because well, I wasn’t able to fill that job until all this paperwork was completed.

Life moves on, I finally calm down and realize once again that in my happy little world it always balances out for the best for me and low and behold, another job opens up.

This job is one that will be easy for me to do, right up my alley, the same hours (Well close enough), not that big of a change of responsibilities (Again good because I am getting old and change equals difficulty) but best of all, I will still be around to help out the department I am leaving as they might need.

This looks like it might work out with well for me and there is still a chance that it might not go through … well not too much of a chance, but it is all looking good in my favor.

So, this means a little more money each pay period, a better retirement over all, and getting enough of a change to keep me going for another few years … wow, nine years with the department … is this a career yet?

Lets see how this works and I will keep you all in the loop.

Looking like a good New Year so far … so I will not get the job L

Because so many of you keep bothering me and hounding me and then insulting me by saying mean things like my ears are lop sided and that’s why I haven’t gotten any information yet.

I figured I would pass along the latest information.

I got a call this morning and was told that I am supposed to start on January 9^th.

Woot, hurray, sweet, yea and other things like that.

What does this mean you might ask?

About $250 more a month, a higher pension and a quicker retirement date.

The negatives though … I don’t know what shift I will be working or what days off I might get.

So I could be back on midnights with Wednesday and Thursday off … equaling, no life again.

I don’t think that this is going to happen but it is always a chance and a fear in my head.

Lets all hope not please!

So, it will make deciding what to wear each morning a lot easer and … yea … why am I doing this again?

My current boss is dumbfounded and not happy.

He is not only losing me but we as of Jan 1^st went into a hiring freeze so he will get stuck having to do my job … and his that I have also been helping out with now for years.

Sucks to be him … is it wrong to think that he deserves what he is getting?

That’s that, I will let you all know what shift and what I will be doing as soon as I know.

I have not posted as much as one person likes and I am sorry to be such a great disappointment … still …

That being said I, as I have said in the past, am working on a few projects to try and make the world a better place, more fun place and of course just make money for me!

Now you all might think that I would be a mean rich man but in fact I think I will be kind.

I will finally pay so many of you back, and supply hours of entertainment in one way or another.

From laughing with me, to laughing at me.

I am such a giving person aren’t I?

So lets give you all an ideal of the three projects I am working on shall we?

First, brace yourself, no really … writing a book.

I know it will never go anywhere but I have started it anyway and it is about how I and a bunch of other people see the world and just basic ranting.

A lot like how my Blog started … hum …groundwork?

Second, yea you might want to sit down for this one … thinking about and working on starting a non profit organization.

I know what you are thinking, WHAT!

It has been bouncing around for weeks now after it hit me and anything that does that with my ADD must have a reason right?

It will be based on people in need of assistance forced a pone them from improper government actions.

Such as: False Imprisonment, Innocent being shot, car stolen and police using Tac Strips and blowing all your tires and it’s more then your insurance, Fire Figthers breaking the windows of your car from across the street to get to a fire hydrant, a controlled burn getting out of hand or when they push a broken down car off a bridge.

It will be an insurance deduction ‘helping’ program and just a helping hand for people hurt by government agencies … hehe think I can get a government grant?

Yes police and insurance reports will be mandatory.

Yes, proof of income and bills will be required.

Because Single mom with three kids might need some help with her $500 hundred dollar insurance deductible but million dollar man might not.

Then again he might, he could be floating his employee’s in his company from his own wallet hoping that’s the market recovers, you never know!

There is a lot more to it and it is just something to look into at this point.

Me trying to be nice?

What is the world coming to?

O the gold old days …

Third, trying to patent and get the designs finished up for an ideal that I had.

I am not saying it is the next big ideal or even the next million dollar answer … but by golly the few people I have told think it’s great.

OK, my mother didn’t but Wife and I have come up with additional items to make you happy too.

I am not going to say what it is because I am afraid of to many people hearing about it and making it before me … that’s my luck L

I will say that it came to me after looking at a pair of Truck Nuts …

Feel free to call though because I love pitching it!

Let me tell you all a little about how hard this is though, not because you care but because I feel like it!

Trying to find a molding company to make a prototype = Head Ache!

Wait, it needs to be painted too doesn’t it … = Darn this is hard!

OK, wait, you mean that they don’t package it for you either? = New level of Head Ache!

Patents take money, and lots of it. = Thoughts of ‘This will never work!’

Trying to keep your product ‘All American’? = Long term losses in profit, but a better feeling about yourself … sorta …

Getting to see your friends and families faces as they see your product everywhere and how they look to the ground in shame and disappointment? = PRICELESS!

Getting to go back to your school were they told you that you were worthless and would never amount to anything and tell them not only are you retired at 35 with a million in the bank but you never even finished school? = A dear God level PRICELESS!

Being looked at possibly as a famous interest because I not only came up with ‘Said Item’, a best selling novel about how the world is looked at so differently from so many different people and a great ontrapanewer (I have no clue how to spell that and spell check isn’t pulling up any variation either … then again I can find that spelling on Google?) big into charity work and things of that nature = Well, we all know that will never happen, it isn’t my luck!

It’s good to have goals …

Forth, trying to get my comic strip up and going again.

More on that shortly I am sure …

I was looking up some stuff for some stuff that I needed to look up and low and behold my computer tells me it doesn’t like the site I am trying to go to and then shuts down the Internet browser.

Don’t think that way you all dirty minded people, it wasn’t one of those sites!

I, as most people attempt to reopen the browser and load a new web page and low and behold it says “This program cannot display the web page” & most likely I am not connected to the Internet.

What … hum, lets look a little deeper into this then shall we?

I glance down to my model and low and behold all of the little lights on it are on and it seems to be working properly.

I know, lets disconnect the power to the modem and see if that helps to have it reboot … nope.

So, me being of a brilliant level of inelegance decide to restart my computer and see what happens … yea still no connection.

OK, so now that none of that has worked … lets hit it with a Virus Scan and Malware Scan, woot we got something!

I guess we need one better protection ...

So … why can’t my computer delete said files?

OK, lets go try this manually!

… So why can’t I delete said file?

Time laps … you know the words “Let’s do the Time Warp AGAIN!!!’

OK, got the file deleted … got all the scans done … did a defragment just because … still not working, what is wrong?!?!

It’s been 3 hours why can’t I figure this out?

… Wait … what’s that blinking yellow explanation mark in the bottom right hand corner?

You know the one that we noted 3 hours ago but passed over because we have ideals and must go through all of the actions that we must because we think that we know what is best and we will get to that latter … O, look a balloon bubble …

So now that I, with my super intelligence and mastery of computer skills have figured out not only what was wrong but also have now indeed fixed it, I can post and tell you that …

Microsoft has a program called Big Fix that flashes a yellow explanation mark when there is a problem and if you click on it there is a good chance it will let you know not only what your problem is, but how to fix it.

At least I didn’t have to call tech support this time!

I have to take what I can get in the ways of how I can view accomplishments!

Shut up I hate you all!

I need a Mac L

Don’t we all know that person who thinks that they are better then everyone else or that they are just the top dog when everyone else knows that they are not?

Ever think that someone has something like Napoleon syndrome?

Ever think that the people sitting next to you are idiots as you listen in on their conversation?

We have all had the boss, who got the job only God knows how, who in fact doesn’t know a thing about what any of us do, but is sure that his way is the best way.

Isn’t it strange how we all look at them and think that we are better or that we could do the job O’ so much better …

My point, we all look down on people.

If you say that you don’t you are a liar and you know it.

No, really if you think that you don’t you are just stupid!

You might not think it but that janitor might have the answer to the problems you have.

That crazy cousin Pat of yours might not have a clue about this and that normally but that one time she might just be the apple you were looking for.

We all look at things differently and a collage degree does not make you any smarter then the next guy, just a little more educated.

Then again, haven’t we all been in a place were we realize we don’t fit in and people take note, or when we say something that seems brilliant to us and everyone just blows us off because it’s a dumb ideal to them?

Don’t we all know in some way or another how bad it feels to be looked down a pone?

The world is 3 dimensional for a reason … OK it has more but we aren’t getting into all of that …

As you look at one side of an item and I look at another we see two different things.

This also goes along with upbringing and the paths our lives have taken us.

That doesn’t mean that the Farmer can come in and do the accounting job just as quickly or as easily, or that the accountant can come out and work a field as easily as the farmer.

Knowledge in your fiend and education do help but that doesn’t mean that the new guy or the guy down the hall can’t be of help.

At the end of the day don’t we all need the other people around us no matter what there job is?

Another thing is that at anytime we can change places with the person next to us and be in their shoes, so watch your step.

There is an old saying about being nice on your way up because you never know who you will meet on your way back down.

When and how did Humility get lost to the world?

Who gave us the right to judge another anyway?

Also, for those of you who think that you are better then another, I will gladly point out another who is better then you.

Who are we to look down our noses at another and talk badly about them behind there back … you know you do it behind them because you know it’s wrong in your heart and there for will not stand up and say it to there faces.

Saying ‘I don’t normally bad mouth anyone, but …’ doesn’t make it better either!

I am not sure of the recipe for Humble Pie, mind you I could use some myself some times … OK a lot of the time … OK shut up about it already, but I think that most all of us could use at least one slice.

Some people need a bakery full of it I think though …

So, next time you are pointing out the people next to you at dinner and making fun of them sit back and think …Are the people on the other side of you thinking the same thing about you and making fun of you?

We could all use a reminder once and a while that no one is above another, and that in fact we all need to wash each others feet a little more often.

Epically you hypocritical Christians …

We as a people sit back and get upset sometimes about what we think should have been and then ponder why said things didn’t go the way we wanted them to.

Well, things happen for a reasons weather we can see why or not.

I know I know we have all heard this before and have been told that we must just have faith … this though doesn’t help it or make it any easer as we all know!

That being said … we must have faith that in the long run things will work out for the greater good and that in the end the guy who just lied to get the job that you had wanted will be found out … or that if he doesn’t that something else of equal bad might happen to him.

Some times though things don’t come clear and an answer cannot be found.

At least not in our lives that is, but we are going to move on to that a little latter in this topic.

What kind of world would it be in if we all got what we though we deserved?

What if everyone had won the Lotto?

Or, if everyone was able to keep that first childhood love, because it was right?

The world would be filled with people like Paris Hilton!

Do we really think a world of Hilton’s is a good ideal?

… Speaking about the Hilton’s, what happened to her sister Nicky anyway?

Option #1 Eaten by wolves and now trying to clone her from her three toes they found?

Option #2 Faked wolf attack and cut off a few toes so people would stop looking for her because she was so ashamed of her family?

Option #3 Cleaned up her act because she was afraid to see her girl parts all over the news like her sisters?

Nah, more likely something normal like … whisked away to a nunnery!

Back to the point though …

We also need the lowly blue color workers in the world and if we all had our choice no one would ever want to work in the New York Sewers now would they … OK Mike Rowe might but he is a different kind of strange … Steve Erwin would have too, but only because the alligators needed rescuing.

We need the negativity and pain though to grow and learn.

We need the heartbreak and horrors to show us, and or others, what it could be like in a world with no pain.

We might not like it or understand it, but, we all have our place and lot in life weather we decided to choose it or not.

We might have chosen to have this life though because it sucks and we might be abused or hungry but our souls can take it.

Hum, that might need more enlightenment …

I look at it like this (fade to your minds eye … but keep reading so stay in the real world … ok read this then try and picture it in your minds eye … yea that’s better … I think …)

So you are sitting up in your pre-spiritual world of your own choice and denomination, and you and your little sibling who is of a slower mind set, because even in this place we need to be better then everyone else, come up to the giant fire pole in the sky and the chief looks down and says ‘Wow little Pat your life is going to suck this time around!’ and then tells little Pat all about how bad it will be.

You being the good sibling that you are know that simple minded Pat can’t possibly survive this adventure and decide to step up and take the role yourself and plummet toward Earth knowing your life will suck but in the end you helped little Pat out.

You live your life out and ponder what you could have done to deserve this but in the end you get on to your afterlife and sit back realizing for the rest of time that you were the good sibling and it all makes since in the end living out eternity in a joyful mood.

(Insert warm and cuddly feeling here)

Meanwhile Pat ends up taking over your lot in life and ends up with a good life … being of a slower intellect and an inability to process things very well ends up throwing it all down the drain and befriends Paris Hilton.

The point is, we don’t know what the reason for our lives is.

It could be just so that one day a rich man sees me pandering on the street corner and it is just at that moment that everything in his world clicks and he turns from Scrooge into a wonderful charitable person and starts donates money to this and that.

It could be that your whole life is just so that one day when you are walking down the street you smile at a stranger for no good reason and the thoughts of the world being a horrible place and the thoughts of dirtying the front of a city bus flood out of his mind and he works toward and finds the cure for dog allergies … what a wonderful world that would be!

We just never know!

So, enjoy what you have, look forward to the future & don’t dwell on the past and what we think ‘Could have been Memories’ and have faith in the thought that everything does happen for some reason weather we understand it or not.

I have been working out not for a few months trying to loose weight.

No one noticed so I am going with I am not doing it that entirely well.

I have though now come up with a wonderful way of dropping off the pounds in no time flat!

It does have a few side effects but over all isn’t being thin the goal and what ever means needed to reach it justifiable?

Even better yet, most of the time you are working on said weight loss you will find yourself asleep and only disturbed few a fee moments every hour or so with the inconvenience of the actual work needed to gain your weight loss goal.

Yes my Brothers and Sister, you guessed it right … ok not a tapeworm you … wait for it!

That’s right, FOOD POISONING!

I know for a fact that I have lost around 8 pounds … I will not tell you all why or how but just believe me!

I have lost enough weight that my close are loose and that I can actually see a difference in my size … yeppers, this has been an eye opener!

The thing I think I need to point out most though is if you don’t think that you are meeting your goals drink some milk!

O, yea!

Milk is a magical concoction that coats your stomach walls and … well … disagrees with said Food Poisoning too making you loose the few extra pounds just like that.

All joking aside, I have never had this before, and I would not wish it on anyone!

I would like to think that I don’t complain to much about ailments … this is another level of nasty though and people, I am SO sorry for any of you who have gotten it or still might in the future!

I am going to go pass out now and … I will leave it at that!

It’s Sunday morning and still rather early in the day, 9am that is.

I have things that I need to do, things that I want to do and then the biggest portion is the things that will get done.

AKA, nothing.

I have a big project that I am working on that I started going on 2 months ago that I have really only gotten about 1/6^th of it done at best.

I have my comic strip that I keep throwing ideals at but have yet to pick up the pencil toward.

I have a house that still has a few boxes that need to be unpacked for going on over a month now.

So what do I do?

I come and type out a Blog … yeppers I have issues!

It is just like at work I guess?

I go in and do all of the hard things to get them out of the way and then sit around doing nothing and avoiding the little things until I can’t any longer and then run around doing all of them … then go back to sitting around for a few more hours.

You all know how much sitting around I do … let’s give you an ideal shall we?

I go in at 7:30, I grab my keys and open my shop at 7:45, I then go and sit in my office listening to the radio until 8:30, then my guys show up and they come in and tell me about there nights and make coffee, about 9ish I get out of my office and walk over to another building to look at my E-mail and purchasing reports and make fun of the security officer, 9:45/10ish I go back to my shop and tell the guys what all is going on and at this point possibly go grab up a broken vehicle for them to work on because they are bored, 11am Lunch, 12pm return from lunch and see what all I missed, 12:05 go check the mail and hang out in the admin building until about 1pm, go back to my shop and if needed order parts or go get another vehicle because the guys fixed the first one already … damn them for being quick and proficient … 1pm sit down and listen to the radio and the guys who are bored again come in and tell me about there lives … I do more social work then anyone knows … 2pm I’ll go check the computer again and mess with before mentioned security officer yet again, 2:45 go back to shop and start cleaning up, 3pm do a quick inventory and lock things up saying goodnight to my guys, 3:30 the guys get picked up and I end up in my office listening to the radio, 4pm lock everything down and go home for the day.

That is honestly how my days roll out.

I have a vehicle break down I will either go grab it or send a tow truck, my wife might need some help for a few moments or someone else might but over all … that’s my day!

So then I get home!

I am tired and have to walk the dog, then I check my E-mail and read my online comics and about the time I finish the wife gets home. We lay around for 30 min or so and talk about our days then I get up and do something or other until dinner needs to be made and then around 7:30pm after eating I might go work out real quick or not.

Then in bed by 10pm and asleep by 10:01

You now know my day … what does all of this entail for you, you might ask?

I am still stalling because I don’t feel like starting my other projects L
