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…”

Well…it’s only three o’clock and I am bored out of my mind….so, I thought I’d just sit here for a few minutes and take a crack at another one…and it will be just noodling around since I really don’t know what to write about…the bike ride was nice but way too much wind and I’ll be paying for it tomorrow…although, the ibuprofen I took for my sore tooth is helping that somewhat. The letdown from the hope of a new job has become complete and I think that may be part of why I feel a little low today….need to get back into the process of looking for work tomorrow but I am going to take the rest of the day off and just kind of wallow in the disappointment….but tomorrow will be better and you never know what will happen….I am going to see if I can get through the week with no money..and that means I’ll have to get by with the gas that is in the car..I think there’s only about a quarter of a tank left in it so it may be a stretch…and I’ll have to eat out of the freezer which means chicken, chicken, chicken all week but that is okay, too.

I was going to talk about politics but I think you’ve heard it all from me for a while so I’m going to give you a break today and just do this one….I am curious to see the results of the “leave the big banks” day that was Saturday and of the repeal of the union busting legislation that is on the ballot for the elections in Ohio Tuesday….the polls there say it is going to pass with a huge majority…I hope this sends a message to the repubs that the rest of us are just sick and tired of their attacks on middle class and poor….we can hope anyway…

Well…another night at home and it is getting really boring but I guess I’ll live through it…didn’t remember that the clocks had to be turned back last night and I was a little confused this morning…but I lived through that, too and now the cobwebs are starting to clear…it is already 42 outside so I may be able to get the ride in this morning…probably one of the last times this year that will happen so I should enjoy it…no dreams or anything else to report but the Wings finally won one and that was enough to make my night. Not much to do today…with the Lions on a bye week that just leaves the race from Texas and some soccer to watch today…don’t have any cash so that rules out doing anything else but that’s okay….staying in builds character…or something…more later…

Here’s today’s lyric: “Your day breaks, your mind aches, you find that all her words of kindness linger on when she no longer needs you…”

Well…a long day yesterday but I had some fun so that was okay…spent way too much cash so it looks like I’ll have to stay in for a while to make up for it….I did have dreams last night that were quite weird again with getting lost, dying plants, and bad mufflers in them…they did all fit together in a strange way…I am sore all over for some reason this morning and I think it may have been riding in the strong wind yesterday…and I have been grinding my teeth again that has given me an ache in my jaw again…I’m just a wreck today and will have to take it easy and recover….not much to do today…there is the Michigan game and I’m not sure if I’m going to watch the Wings later….and I will try to get another one out later since I was lazy yesterday…

Here’s the lyric: “In the valley of hearts there’s a house full of broken windows…cause the lovers inside just quarrel all the time…why’d you ruin my life?….where you taking my kid?…then they hold each other saying how did it come to this?….”

Well…it was a busy day yesterday and I am looking forward to a little less today….I’m feeling a little uneasy about things lately and I’m not sure why…well…I kind of know why but I won’t share that right now….there were some dreams last night that included a boat that I used to own along with lots of people that I didn’t know…not nearly as weird as I like….not much else to say right now but I do have some things to do today…might have lunch with T…nope…that’s about it….more later…

I think the uneasiness is caused by the reality that this job is not going to pan out and I’ll be back to the daily grind of sending resumes and hoping something will happen….a disheartening state of life that wears on you after a while when you know that the chances of ever working again grow slimmer with each passing day…and this calls into question all of the tenets you’ve lived your life by…that hard work and education will be enough to ensure your success..but that is just not true anymore and I don’t know what replaces that yet…what are the new rules?

Well…another night and I had a little fun out with K for a couple but then back here for another night of boredom….but that was okay really….and I was somewhat good so I feel okay this morning….but up at 4:44 and I’m not sure why….so, there will be a nap in order for later this aft…although, I do have to go over to C’s rental and fix the toilet so he doesn’t have to come all the way back form Mt. P….other than that, not much to do to today…I do have another phone interview this morning but I don’t think that will take too long and then it’s the grocery run…not much more to say right now so I’m going to go watch a little “Burn Notice” and take it easy…more later…

Okay..I’m back and the morning has been a busy one…I did have the second phone interview and it went well…all they wanted to talk about was my personality and attitude and not my resume…most of the talk was how I would fit into the team there…feel okay about this one…maybe something will break my way….that would be cool….not sure if I have the lyric yet..so I’ll wait a while on that one…

Well…up early again and it is becoming a habit…and that is okay…and okay day yesterday but no dreams to report again…I did get over 2400 miles on the bike so every day from now adds to the record for the year…won’t make 3000 like I had hoped but 25 or 26 hundred is possible….not feeling it again today so I’m going to go back and watch the rest of a movie that I started…

Okay, have been out to read the papers and have coffee but I still don’t have a lot to say…I did do three yesterday so maybe I can take today as a mental health day….I am waiting for them to come and do the yearly maint on my furnace and I may have to go over to C’s house to to take care of a water leak since the guys that are renting it have no skills….but that looks like it for the day other than the process of sending out resumes again…didn’t get to the lyric yesterday for some reason but I will get to it later after I get the workout and bike ride in….it’s already over 50 so the ride should be pleasant for the first week of November…

Here’s the lyric: ‘When the dawn patrol’s got to tell you twice…they’re going to do it with a shotgun..I’m cashing in this ten-cent life for another one…”

Well…had an okay day yesterday but it was a normal Monday and that meant going out with G for a couple and that was fun….I did talk to my daughter for a while and got a few things straightened out and it was good to talk to her. Up way too early today but maybe it’s a good thing to get ready to do that if I get the job…have a few things to do today but nothing really pressing so it will be a lazy one….going to take it easy for the rest of the week since it could be my last one as a free man….I will come back later for another one since the clock resets today and I have to stay on pace…more later…

Okay…was just writing the rent check and noticed that it is 11-1-11…kind of weird…maybe I should buy a lottery ticket for today….if I believed in that kind of stuff…

Well…got a nice little surprise this morning when I got a call from the guy I did a phone interview with Friday saying that he is going to set up an in person one for this week…and that set a bunch of stuff into motion…had to go and get my suit pants fitted and altered…they will be done tomorrow so I’ll be ready to “suit up” for the interview since my sport coat and other dress clothes don’t fit anymore. If things pan out, it will be nice to have money coming in for a change and to be able to get back into a normal routine…don’t know how that will impact these yet…I might just have to get up earlier so I can get one out before I go to work…that even sounds strange…go to work…so, I’ll keep you up to speed on the developments…..and I’ll be back later for a political one and the lyric…
