Well…another short night of sleep with being up at 5:11 but that’s okay…it was a little bit of a bore last night but “the Shining” was on again so that gave me something to switch to when the regular stuff got to be too much…in the middle of watching a German silent film from 1929 that is just one of the weirdest things that I have ever seen and I think I’ll go back to that right now and then come back later to add to this…
Okay…just got back from coffee and thought I’d get back to this for a while…couldn’t get through that German movie…the music was just so annoying and, for a 4 star rated movie, the acting and story was simplistic to say the least…I wonder who rates these things? I had dreams last night that were centered around a 1977 Chrysler that I once owned…pale blue with a blue leather interior….5,000 pounds of Detroit iron that never got better than 14 miles to the gallon and sometimes much less than that…a pretty cool 4 door hardtop but it was another of those lost and can’t find my way home ones that are becoming somewhat disconcerting. It was an okay day yesterday but I couldn’t muster the ambition to go out and shoot pool with Tom..,.not really in the mood for it I guess…it was nice to text a few with T and that really lifted my spirits so I have to say thanks to her…not much to do today…just the same old soul crushing resume nonsense I go through every day….but maybe today will be the day…
Well… a good night last night with the Wings winning another one and some really weird dreams that included lots of cooking and Alan Alda….not going go further into that one…it was a variation on the can’t find class one that I have all the time…but in this one I couldn’t cook…other than that it was just the normal night of fighting off the boredom….having a hard time getting going today so I think I’ll just go back to the couch and have some more water….I do have to get out in a few to get the paper and it is already 55 degrees…so it may be a chance to get out on the bike for the last time in a t-shirt….but the wind is blowing about 30 so that may not happen….more later…
Okay…going to be lazy today and only do one of these…I did get a nice ride in but I am really sore from going into the 25 mph plus wind, though….now I’m just going to watch the rest of the race and wait for the Lions to come on….just don’t have the mindset to write much right now….not getting the job has been harder on me than I expected and I know I did that to myself by being excited about the possibilities….won’t let that happen again…if I ever get another bite….
Well…I finally got back on the bike today and it was a nice ride…but, I haven’t really done much other than that today…I was going to do a political one today but there really is not much happening that I want to comment on…Michigan is looking pretty terrible today but the last time I looked, they were up by 14 and trying to give the game away…I am looking forward to the Wings game tonight but there is not a good candidate for my second channel to flip to…”The Bank Dick” with WC Fields is on at 8 so maybe that’s one to consider….I think it will be a cocktail night tonight but I am going to take it easy and just have a couple…the tooth is finally coming around but yesterday I burned the crap out of the same side of my mouth and having pain there for so long is getting really tiring. Have to really get on the job search again tomorrow but I took the day off today to try to stop feeling so bad about it….okay, big wreck in the race and I’m going to go watch it…
Well…another night and another Wings win so that was okay…I’m sitting here waiting for the coffee to brew and thought I’d do a short one here…weird, weird dreams that had the revealing of a new car model in my place combined with the standard college one that I have all the time…and this place was just huge with an upstairs and a downstairs…yeah, I know, I’m weird as hell. Okay, the coffee is done and I have to go read the papers and watch the F1 qualifying….more later…
Well…that wasn’t going to be the title but “kill me, I’m bored” seemed to be a little over the top…so I thought I’d relieve it a little bit by sitting down here again and seeing what happens. Hmmm…nothing is happening….I wonder how long I should wait? Probably not a long time…it is a second day of not being on the bike and I’m still sore…but, you don’t want to hear about that…do you want to hear about any of this? Maybe I should make this one political? I was going to do one on the idiot AG here in Michigan…but it is on a topic that I really can’t talk about here…so, where do we go? Okay…let me get the Detroit News out from today and see if there is something there…be right back. Nope, nothing there….so, I think I’ll stop here and go try to find something else to do….
Well…it was a night last night…just like the thousands of others…I slept okay but am still tired…maybe it’s because I still got up before 6…I wonder if boredom makes you tired? I did get the kitchen scrubbed yesterday including cleaning the floor with a scrub brush….it didn’t look bad until I started but then it was pretty gross…I find myself walking into it and just looking at it I did so good of a job on it…yeah, my life is that boring….an today is going to be cleaning the bathroom! Yay! Okay…enough of that….I do have a few things to do today starting with the F1 practice but it is going to be too cold to go out on the bike…that will be two days off but I don’t feel guilty about it….I do feel guilty about other things, though…more later….
Well…it’s 5:48 and I’m up again but I actually feel quite good…another no cocktail night and the weird thing is that I slept okay but I have been grinding my teeth again and my jaw hurts like crazy again this morning….but that’s okay…not a bad tradeoff to feel this good in the morning….interesting show on Nova last night about time and what it really is that has still left me a little confused but a good exercise for the brain for a change that made me work some and I like it. There are so many things in the news that I need to comment on later…Joe Paterno, Rick Perry’s meltdown in the debate last night, and the new polls that show that over 60% of the country want the feds to step in to correct the growing income disparity her in the US…and I just want the tea partiers to keep talking about nothing but slashing….there I go again…I need to wait on this stuff for the political one later…not much to do today…I have to get groceries and then run some errands and I think the kitchen floor needs some work….more later….
Well…it was a no cocktail night last night and it was not as boring as I expected…a pretty good Wings game helped as they beat the Avs and looked okay…there was some standing around and they almost let them back in the game but a much better performance…so now, I do have something to look forward to with the back to backs on Friday and Saturday….no dreams that I can remember but I know there were some…but you’re probably getting bored with me reporting them anyway so maybe that’s a good thing…have to get out to some of the news sites here pretty quick so I can see what the election results were….that will be a topic for later; especially the self-destructive re-igniting of the culture wars in Mississippi….I just love the ultra conservatives…they give me things to write about and their….nope, that for a later one….not much to do today…looks like the job is not going to pan out so I have a goal of getting at least 5 resumes out today….and I hope to get a bike ride in an go over 2500 miles today but it has been raining almost steady for 24 hours and the radar doesn’t look good right now…more later…
Well…a long day yesterday and I won at pool again so that was fun….but I am completely broke and will have to spend the rest of the week just riding the bike and hanging out here…and figuring out how to make chicken forty different ways so I won’t get bored with it…but it is going to rain the next two days with it changing over to snow by Thursday and I am not looking forward to it…I do need to get to Thanksgiving wearing shorts so that will be some kind of a challenge with the cold coming up….not much to do today…have to run over to G’s to put her trash containers in since she is out of town but that is about it…..more resumes to send, too, but then it’s going to be just laying low and writing….I already got one out if you look down and I will try to get another one out later…
Well…another night, more tv, and that was about it….I am really bored….but I did have some really weird dreams that had crazy cab drivers, my daughter going to school at 14, and work where I couldn’t find my office…I think that one is a variation on the can’t find the class college one that I have frequently….there is a spider alert going on here today since I got webs across my face when I walked out of my bedroom…and that is really creepy and I still can feel them in my hair….I was up at 5 but with daylight savings over it gets light pretty early….that doesn’t have anything to do with anything…..and I am tired of doing this right now so I’m going to come back later…
Okay, I’m back for a couple of minutes…I did get the bike ride in but the tooth is still throbbing and I hope that the salt water will help that….looks like a pool day today and I am getting ready to go out and do that…I will try to come back for another one later…
Here’s the lyric: “late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts…spirit came to me and said…you gotta move to start….you’ve gotta take the first step….you gotta crawl to be tall…then she told me something I’ll never forget…..you’ve got love to burn…”
