Well…it was a long day yesterday with going out to play pool with Tom in the aft then meeting up with G for a couple in the evening…and then I stayed up late to watch the Chelsea/Barcelona match but got up at the normal time so I am worn out today…and not feeling this right now so I am going to stop here now and go back to the ice water and the couch for a few minutes….back later for more…
Okay….back for a few minutes after taking a little nap to try to recharge some from yesterday and I do feel better…might have to make some coffee for the entire process to complete itself and that would be okay…I think today will be a recovery day since whatever has been taking all my energy is still working somewhat and I just don’t feel normal….so, I guess I’ll work out and get a bike ride in this morning and then just lay low for the rest of the day….I will be back for more since I am really behind and the end of the month is coming up fast…
Well…not sure if this is going to be short or not since I always do these off the top of my head…and no, it doesn’t hurt…not really….the thing I wanted to talk about his morning is the immediate spin that ole Mitt put on his immigration stands since he became the presumptive nominee for the repubs….during the primary campaign, ole Mitt was adamant that there would be no pathway to citizenship for any illegal immigrants in this country, going so far as to call all of them criminals and proposing they all be rounded up and sent back to Mexico…or wherever they come from….but now, he trots out Marco Rubio and says that he will consider a form of the dream act if he becomes president that would allow illegals to stay here if they meet some requirements for citizenship that he has not defined yet…can’t anyone else see this as just and egregious case of pandering to a group that he needs to get elected? I know…big surprise that a politician is pandering to any group…but, this is just the latest in ole Mitt’s compulsion to say anything to anybody to get votes…what the heck does he really believe? Good luck with this change Mitt…you may gain a little with Hispanics, but your base is going to run for the hills…and you deserve it…geez….
Well…it was a non descript day yesterday with not a lot to say about it…stayed in since G had to study for her exams this week and that was not a bad thing…I still feel a little crappy today and I know it’s a bug of some sort…..it may be bad allergies since I am itching like crazy all over like my skin is dry…I may try taking an allergy pill today to see if it will go away….I did get a bike ride in yesterday and that was a good thing but who knows about today…it is supposed to be windy and I really hate that…but I’m going to try…not much to do today…it is a pool day but that is about it…..I am going to go out for the papers again today since it is nice to start the day that way….I will try to come back for another…more later…
Well…I was all prepared to work up a bunch of outrage today after reading an article about the recall election in Wisconsin and how the repubs there are running ‘fake” Dems in the primary to try to confuse voters and dilute the vote….and this is something to be outraged about….but the rest of what is going on; the urging of repubs to vote for the weakest candidate in the open primary to give Walker the best chance to retain the governor’s chair is just normal politics that goes on every day…and for me to be outraged about something that I have participated in here in Michigan, would be the height of hypocrisy…something that you know I really hate. So, I’ll save the outrage for things that are egregious and nefarious….don’t you just love that word?
Well…got back into reading the papers today before I go out on the bike and I think that may be a good combo since the quiet time on the bike gives me time to digest what I’ve read and partially write some of these…and there was an interesting article in the WAPO this morning about the Romney campaign taking Obama to task for what they say is the collapse of small business creation on his watch citing a report that came out in the past few days…the only catch is that the authors of the report came back to rebut the claims of the geniuses on ole Mitt’s staff saying that they used the numbers wrong and interpreted it wrong…but, that didn’t stop ole Mitt’s guys from trying to tell the authors that they were wrong…this coming from the same team of idiots that gave us the financial meltdown, deregulation, and almost drove us into a depression. In case you didn’t know, almost the entire GW Bush economic team has moved en masse over to run ole Mitt’s campaign…so, if you loved the meltdown, the continued concentration of wealth, and the gutting of the middle class, you’ll love these guys…because what they propose for Romney is just more of the same of that crap. So, that leaves us with the title…what ole Mitt does not seem to understand is how most small businesses are created…with personal credit, home equity, and borrowing from banks, family, and friends….all avenues that have disappeared with the meltdown…but, ole Mitt just doesn’t get that…he thinks that everyone can just go to their account in the Cayman’s and get the money to start a business…and when the supposed “CEO” of America doesn’t understand that, it calls into question whether he understands anything about the economy…or, he’s just being the cynical liar that he has been throughout the campaign…neither of which qualifies him to be president.
Well…it was a lost day yesterday since I was feeling so crappy…not sure what the heck it was but I think I still have it today…I’m still coughing and warm so there must be a reason…could be allergies but I haven’t been out of here in a couple of days so I’m not sure about that…I did sleep okay last night but again, no dreams to speak of…I have been really lazy about doing this and I think I’m about 5 behind for the month so I will be getting to it today and trying to get caught up…so, that means I have to go out and get the papers or I won’t have enough to talk about….didn’t even ride the bike yesterday with the winds almost 20…it just makes it so unpleasant that it isn’t fun…might have another day like that today but we’ll see…not much to do today….what happens will hinge on whether I feel better today or not….right now, it looks like I might feel better but I won’t know for a while…more later…
Well…it was a day yesterday but I made some cash so that was a plus….and I feel okay today after taking care of myself and getting a long ride in but where the heck are the 70 degree temps that we had last month? It is getting to be a pain to go out still in a sweatshirt and having my hands be cold….it is Sunday and I really have nothing to do today but clean the bathroom and watch Man U..but the F1 race is on, too, and that makes it a little difficult….I did sleep okay but no dreams to speak of…and that makes it boring…but, I’m used to it…okay…going back to the race…I’ll be back later for more…
Well….running normally for a Saturday but there is a huge amount of disappointment weighing on me with the Wings loss last night putting them out of the playoffs…..not sure why this affects me so much but going out in the first round means that there will be big changes to the team next year and I am always uneasy when that happens….oh, well…I’m still broke and looking for work and will probably will be for a while so I guess I should focus on that…I did have the day off from riding yesterday since it rained all day but today will be different with the sun shining already….I do have to wait for the temp to come up, though, since it is in the 30’s and I just don’t want to be cold….I did make a whole wheat crust pizza yesterday and it was not up to my expectations so I think I’ll save that flour for making bread instead….and the crust stuck to my pan and I ruined it trying to get it unstuck….never happened with normal flour…not much to do today….have a couple of errands to run this morning and then not much else….I may try to come back later for another one but that will hinge on how I feel….
Well…it has been a weird series for the Wings….it appears that they have outplayed the Preds in every game, and the stats back that up…but, when you look at the score, we’re down 3-1 in the series and tonight could put us out. But, the thing that will have me watching this one is that, if we lose, it could be Nick Lidstrom’s last game as a Wing and that is something that I really don’t want to happen. Nick has been the one constant in the Red Wings team since my youngest son got me started watching them 18 years ago and it just won’t be the same without him…but, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself and we’ll win and keep it going….I have changed it up by shaving off the playoff beard and there will be no gear worn tonight…have to try something….
Well….I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday since I went out to shoot pool with Tom in the aft…and I even won the week but that took me away from being healthy and I feel like crap today….so this one is going to be short for now…I didn’t eat nearly enough yesterday and that takes away all of my energy…so, I think I’ll even have breakfast today…not sure what it will be but I do need to do something…I am really craving a bagel with cream cheese but I don’t think I’ll get some…more later…
Okay…after the papers and a couple of cups of coffee, I’m back to try to do my job…it is such a dark, melancholy day today that I’m not sure how successful I’m going to be with this…and I seem to be on some weird emotional roller coaster that has me every which way this morning…and now the rain has started and the sound that is normally comforting has a grating edge to it like the world is trying to piss me off for some reason….or, I’m just on edge from yesterday…not that anything happened out of the ordinary….it’s like just being is a lot of work today….hmmmm…….well…I will be back in a while to do one on the Wings and maybe some politics…who knows?
