July 6th

Well…survived the night and I was right…I do feel like crap…need to go out for coffee to get the brain working and find some topics for later..so, I will be back after the bike ride….it may take a couple of hours so give me a little time…more later…

I’m back but still feel pretty crappy so I don’t know how long this will be…the day has been kind of a bore so far but I think it’s a good one to just veg and watch the World Cup since it is so hot. So, that is what I’m going to do…I do have an idea for a later post that I think will deal with the great, unheard, center of the country whose voice is being drowned out by the screamers on the right…haven’t heard many screamers on the left so I am leaving them out of this….

July 5th…part two

Well….an interesting day today..well…not interesting but more than just sitting here and doing nothing…went over to K’s for some outdoor and pool time and had fun….got scorched and then decided that it was not time to stop….so, it’s going to be a long night and I’m going to feel like crap tomorrow…but at this point, I really don’t care…I’ll do anything to drive back the boredom…yeah, I know, that is going to have to be addressed at some point…at the end of the summer? Not now, anyway….

July 5th

Okay..I promise today that there will be some topical stuff…not just the everyday workings of and old guys mind…I wonder if the lack of topical stuff is related the the holiday weekend? Have not been watching any news of the past few days and it has been quite relaxing not knowing what is going on in the outside world but that just shrinks my world even more and it’s getting a little constricting. that could be a topic for later in the day…how my world used to be this big, wide-open place where there were possibilities and challenges everyday and now it isn’t..it’s more like enduring it again and that is just not a lot of fun.

Nothing but the routine for today as far as I know…K did say something about having a little bash at her place but I’m not holding my breath. Have to start figuring out more things to do…more later…

July 4th

Well… that was quite a boring Saturday…although the soccer matches were fun to watch…my prediction, after watching Germany take apart Argentina, is that Germany goes all the way to the cup. There are no other teams left that looked even half as good as they did…I’ll even put a couple of bucks on it if you want…you decide. No plans for the day…didn’t go out to watch the fireworks last night…sitting here and sipping a martini had a lot more attraction than riding my bike in the dark….and by the time the fireworks would go…it was the third martini going down so it wouldn’t have been a good idea. I CAN think straight sometimes…

As you can tell from the lack of outraged posts, I’m having some success with controlling my anger…never really did have that much of a problem but I still feel like crap when I’m always ready to blow about everything. So maybe I’ll try humor instead…there are enough angry people writing out there so maybe that will make it easier….it will surely be easier on me. So maybe more later since I really don’t have anything else to do today….

July 3rd

Well…don’t remember a lot about last night but I think there was a race on..no sleeping pill and don’t feel too bad today..have already been out on the bike since I wanted to get done before the Argentina Germany match. Not a lot else to say right now…think I’ll take it easy today but might go out later to see the fireworks. More later…

July 2nd

Well…out for a while last night and I feel a little crappy today…no, a lot crappy..I do need to get groceries and take care of G’s house today so I’ll have to get going soon…would like to just hit the couch and veg but can’t but I guess that’s my own fault..can take a nap later when soccer is on so that is something to look forward to…I’ll have to come back later and complete this…more later…

Hmmm…I’m back after doing everything that I mentioned earlier including re-ducttaping the car at G’s…even got back to see Brazil get beaten in the World Cup…congrats Netherlands…feeling quite a bit better now and I’m going to take the rest of the day off…just like I do every day it seems…if there is anything that gets me going later, I’ll come back and do another one…

July 1st

Well…I know I’m a little late with this one but I had some stuff to get done…don’t feel as bad as I should today…had a fun night out with Tom and won at pool again…started to watch Avatar last night when I got home and had to finish it this morning..one of the reasons I’m late. Don’t know what all the excitement was about the movie…certainly not an oscar nominee to my mind but neither was the Hurt Locker, the movie that won best picture…I can’t remember a recent winner that really made you say “that was a movie!”

Don’t have a lot to do today but there is outrage coming about a columnist for the Detroit News who says that Obama should lay off business and go back to the policies of the Bushies….yep, you heard it right…I’ll be back after working out and running some errands to take that one on…more later….

June 30th

Well…another early morning and my brain is still pretty foggy so I think his one will be short…not a lot to do today but since it is Wednesday, it’s out for pool in Ada later and maybe a haircut this morning. We’ll see…

As I said, not a lot to say this morning….I’ll be back after coffee with a clearer head and something to say…will probably post the rest of the novel if you’ve been waiting for it and I think I’m going to write a new one in real time starting this weekend so check back for that one…or not, if there is anything going on and I have something else to do. I don’t want you to think that this is all I have to do…well, it almost is, but I still have my delusions and I’m going to keep them for a while…I like them. More later…

June 29th

Well…not so long a night last night but was up watching tv at 4…oh, promised I would talk about that any more…so I won’t. It was kind of a busy day yesterday but that means that today will be kind of slow. Found out some things last night that I was expecting to hear but that didn’t make it any easier. I may share it at some point but let’s just say that it involves more and more change that has left me kind of numb to the effects over the past year or so…or not really numb but resigned I guess…

I am going to go fishing today with Tom so that will be fun and relaxing even when we don’t catch fish…what can be better than sitting in a park, watching the water, and getting some sun? I’ll let you know how it goes later in the day and I also will have another somewhat lucid comment I hope…the environment is getting target-rich again. More later…

Oh, the comment will probably be about Rick Barber and Sharron Angle and the absolute craziness coming out of their campaigns…it makes me smile….

June 28th

Well…I’m kind of reluctant to share yesterday with you since it was really quite a boring day…no calls or texts from anyone, which I’m starting to get used to but don’t want to. There was the Germany England match in the world cup but it was so lopsided that I didn’t watch the whole thing. I did watch “Crazy Heart” with Jeff Bridges that I got from Netflix and I think that his Oscar was not earned for this one…kind of pedestrian writing, but was more a career thing.

What’s happening today? Hmmmm…not too much…need to work out and get a ride in and then do a bunch of stuff around here…still haven’t recycled the newspapers or worked on the wreck yet so that has to be done but I’m still not too motivated right now. Maybe after coffee…and I’ll try to get outraged about something and put together a post that will be of some interest…more later…
