Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the car washed and waxed so that is something…didn’t do much else and I do feel kind of guilty about that…not too guilty, though…..slept okay or normal for me…I did waste some money and bought a subway sub for lunch yesterday…the first time for any fast food in over 18 months and that is something to feel guilty about…but, I had a little money and thought what the hell….not much to do today…have a bunch of errands to run after the bike ride but that is about it…pool, too…but that is a given…more later….

The border crisis…
Well…I have been watching the right go frickin crazy over the influx of children fleeing the violence in central America and all I can do is shake my head at the actions of these supposed christians who have been trying to find the busloads of the kids so they can terrorize them. This is just what it is, too, terrorism…when they mistake a busload of kids that were going to a YMCA camp for immigrants and start shouting at them and trying to stop the bus…what do you think those kids felt? This is what the right has devolved into….blind rage and hatred for anyone who is not like them…and this whole thing started with a black guy getting elected and the right just knowing that it couldn’t have been legal, after all, they and no one they knew voted for him so the election must have been rigged. Now, they are trying to add the administrations humanitarian aid for these refugee kids to the long list of fake reasons they think Obama should be impeached….for not following the law, or in this instance for following a law signed by ole GW that is preventing Obama from immediately deporting them…my head spins just reading about this nonsense…geez…
July 17th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much accomplished…stayed up late and got up early so I am a little worn out but I will get the workout in and ride the bike since that seems to be all that I do anymore….I may wash the car today, too since I have some cash and want to make sure I get it done while I have a few bucks….my back has been troubling me the past couple of weeks and it seems that the pain is just moving around from high to low when I get up in the morning…may have to take something for it today but don’t want to get in the habit of taking pain meds for every little thing…not much to do today,,,and that is true…so I guess I won’t do much….more later…
Of course they blocked it…
Well…was just reading about the repubs and their blocking of the new senate bill that would take away the exemption that the Hobby Lobby decision gave to for-profit corporations to refuse to cover contraception for women and the first thought that came into my head was “of course they blocked it”…of course these asses don’t give a damn about women’s health needs…of course they are going to give in to the christian taliban and allow them to force their beliefs on anyone that works for them…and last, of course, just of course…religion just needs to go away and as soon as possible…it is nothing but a tool that is used to be an ass to women and to control them…it’s probably why it came into being in the first place…to keep the wimmen in their place…why this isn’t a 14th amendment issue I just don’t understand…everyone should have equal protection under the law…geez…
July 16th
Well…it was kind of a long day yesterday but I had a fun birthday…heard from all of the kids and had a couple with T and then out with G and N for quite a few so I feel like I should today…crappy…so, the coffee is needed and I do need to get out on the bike when it warms up…no workout today…just don’t feel like it so I’m going to indulge myself and not do it….slept okay, I think, but I do want to take a nap now..but, I won’t….I do have a bunch of stuff to get done and some errands to run…then, I’ll take it easy this aft….and come back here for two more today since I am getting behind again…more later…
July 15th
Well…another year has gone by…I’m a year older and a year more broke…but, I am still alive so I guess that’s something…and I’ve made enough cash this week to last through the end of the month so that is one bright spot…up too damn early this morning but that is also becoming the norm…oh, well…I could go on about getting older and all that crap but I just don’t feel like it…I do feel like having more coffee so I guess I’ll do that…not much to do today…going to make a little more cash this aft and then out to have a couple with G for my birthday but that is about it….I’m not going to think about work or being broke or anything else today…just going to work out and ride the bike then back here to splurge a little on a pizza for lunch….more later…
World cup wrapup…
Well…haven’t really thought about politics today so that will have to wait until tomorrow or Wednesday…right now, with the world cup ending yesterday, it’s time to put down a few thoughts about this cup…the thought just came to me that this is the 5th one that I have really followed and I think it is certainly my favorite…it might be that I had more knowledge of the teams and players since I follow the BPL and many of them play in that league, so it was cool to see some of them play for their countries…it was a little weird to see Tim Howard, or vanPersie not in their BPL colors but it was still fun to watch. I picked Germany to win it all and they did…and I was just thinking that I could have made some money if I would have bet on it but they were only about 5-1 so the money wouldn’t have been that good…I do feel good that the US only lost to Germany 1-0 and the favorites, Brazil, got bombed 7-1 by them…..but now, it is back to the boring days that were before the cup…oh, well….
July 14th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and the team that I predicted won the world cup…and, in a pretty good game…but, I am going to talk about that later…slept normally…and crappy…but, who cares? I did get a few things done but today and tomorrow, I am going to just screw around since it is my birthday tomorrow…I am going to try to find a place where I can get a free meal just for the heck of it…I do still need to work out and get the bike ride in but there won’t be any grand gesture this year to prove that I can still do things….proved that to myself a few years back….not much to do today…I am going to clean a little and do some laundry but that is about it…more later….
Need to start thinking about catching up…
Well…it’s only halfway through the month and I’m already thinking about being behind so I thought I’d do one more right now and then the world cup one later….I am still stewing about the Hobby Lobby decision that gives employers the right to control their workers when not on the job…and it is so against the first amendment that I think the 5 catholics on the court that made the decision should be impeached….but, not only for this case, there is also the citizens united case that gave corporations free speech rights to spend as much they want to buy elections, and that overturned a hundred years of precedents…and, these are not aberrations, they are the ideology that these guys are pushing…that the rich and corporations are just a little more equal than the rest of us…just like the pigs in “Animal Farm”…..a cautionary tale that everyone should have read in high school…and that specifically had the point that inequality destroys societies…but these guys just don’t care, they have a vision of the rich running and ruining everyone’s lives and they are doing their best to make sure that happens…geez…
July 13th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…and Brazil lost the third place game so that made me smile…what an overrated team…slept okay, or I should say better than what the norm has become so that is a plus…had weird dreams where I was working again and that was strange….left the kitchen window open last night and the counter and window were soaked when I got up…didn’t think it was going to rain last night…oh, well…..getting ready to get out on the bike early today but I have been having trouble getting the seat adjusted right…and that it so annoying when you’re on it for over an hour a day….not much to do today…the world cup final, of course, but not mush else…may do the kitchen since I felt good after getting the bathroom done….and I will probably come back for a world cup wrapup later….
