Well…it was another day yesterday…not too interesting but okay…I did lose at pool again but that is okay, too…it was close but no cigar….I did sleep okay and had dreams that included big trucks, lots of snow, and parties…and T was in it, too, but I can’t remember anyone’s role….I did get the top down on the car out and back yesterday so I do have my March day in already and that takes the pressure off…I do need to do the grocery run this morning and then come back here for more resumes! That was supposed to be sarcastic…hope it came through that way….it’s just that the frustration with not hearing a thing from anyone is getting to be a bit much…I did win some tickets to see a Zep cover band next week at the Intersection and since it’s free, I’ll be going…not sure who with yet….finally something to look forward to…more later…

Can’t find any outrage..
Well…I have been sitting here for a while now trying to find a topic and work up some outrage to fuel the writing but I’m just not having any luck…that seems to be the pattern to my life lately and it is getting frustrating to keep on trying and trying and getting no results…kind of like the job search…there just seems to be this huge weight sitting on me that I can’t get out from under and even driving the car is not helping at all…so, what to do? Not sure….I’m sure cocktails are not the answer…and riding the bike used to be but the weather is just not cooperating…I used to know that if I could just hibernate, things would be okay…well…need to get ready to go shoot pool….
March 6th
Well…another bore of a day but I did get the surfaces cleaned in the kitchen so I feel okay about that…and it is nice to have a semi cleaned kitchen…slept okay last night even without cocktails so maybe I’ve turned the corner on that….but, I was still up early and think that maybe 6 hours or so is enough for me…I did read a study that people that sleep less than 7 a night have all kinds of hormonal changes that are similar to being under stress all the time and I do feel that way…but that has been my whole life so the damage is done….I should wash the car today to get the salt off and since it is already over freezing, I may be able to do it…have to find two more quarters, though, since I have no cash….not much to do today…have to keep being good since I do feel much better…and I should clean the bathroom…but, who knows….
Equal rights for all?
Well…sitting here watching a replay of the Man U match with Real Madrid getting ready for the live one this aft and this neat little tidbit was in one of the papers this morning that could pre-empt the supreme court ruling on Prop 8 from California on gay rights…or at least will be before it…here in Michigan, there is a court case challenging the constitutional amendment that keeps gays from having the same rights to marry and adopt children as the rest of us have…I am getting to the point that I consider this a human rights issue…I could just say “this doesn’t affect me” but that would be wrong..in the US we are all supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law and this amendment singles out gays and lesbians as being a “little less equal” to quote from “Animal Farm”. I feel good that all of the spurious arguments that the gay haters use to try to justify their discrimination are being exposed to the light of day for how ridiculous they are and we are finally going to have the start of real equality in all facets of life for all of our citizens. It’s about time…and, look, I think it’s going to be fun watching the haters on the right go crazy when the vote goes the way of equality…who are they going to hate next? Geez…
March 5th
Well…another just normal day but I am getting started early today so that’s something, isn’t it? Oh, the normal day was yesterday, not sure what today is going to be but I can guess that it will be more of the same…slept okay last night even with being good but I was still up at 5:30 and I should have somewhere to go…but no luck yet on the resumes…okay, not going to think about that right now…Looks like a huge storm is going to miss us to the west and I am really ready for winter to be over….but, we will get some snow here so I guess I just have to suck it up and take it…not much to do today….just the normal stuff…but I do need to clean the kitchen and make it presentable to me….more later…
Here’s an idea…
Well…with the ugly comments that were made by ole Scalia in the supreme court last week, and the general consensus that the Voting Rights act is going to be struck down by the conservative assholes on the court…an idea just popped into my head…as I sit here and think about it, it is seeming less and less like a good idea…oh, the idea is to extend the VRA to cover the entire country, not just the states that have been caught cheating to keep people from voting. I wonder where the court gets their news? In my news, the shenanigans of vote suppression and rigging is still in full force across the country so why not make it a federal crime to do this crap? Maybe if that was done, the repubs would stop spending all of their time trying to rig the vote and maybe, just maybe, they would start thinking about getting some jobs legislation going…nope, they’d just move on to more abortion legislation…what a bunch of crap…geez…
March 4th
Well…running really late on a Monday and it is just from the depression..or maybe the cocktails? Nope, just don’t feel like doing anything right now and that is bleeding over into this now…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a couple of photos from T in Atlanta that brightened it quite a bit but I think that just brought it up to tolerable…the Wings lost which dampened it back down after that…okay…need to work out….then I’ll be back later…
Okay…just finished up working out and feel somewhat better…I have been having fun with the posters out on Miata.net…never knew there were so may weird people in the world but I guess the definition of a Miata owner is that they are somewhat weird…just like me…I am getting really frustrated with the job search and, as you can see, it is bleeding through here and makes my brain feel like it doesn’t work too well anymore…so, I’m going to go read the online papers and try to get it to shut off for a while…
Mike Huckabee loves life?
Well…I just had to comment on the screed that ole Mike delivered to the Iowa right to force birth the other day…this guy is so far out there now that he compared the legal medical procedure of abortion that women choose to the Holocaust…I’m pretty sure that the Jews that were killed didn’t choose to be killed….and while this is the usual nonsense that runs through the crazy forced religion right that we hear all the time…ole Mike stepped it up in the next breath by being proud that he sent 16 times more people to be executed than any other governor of Kansas…I think it was Kansas anyway….but the utter nonsense he spewed is trumped by the whole idea behind the speech…that it is perfectly fine for the government to intervene in womens lives to stop abortion…but it is the worst thing in the world for government to try to make affordable healthcare available to it’s citizens…just another typical repub doing what they do…advocating using the government to take away freedom from people to further their crazy assed political or religious ends….geez…
March 3rd
Well…it was another long day yesterday…kind of getting to be the new normal and I’m sure I don’t like it much…I am running late today since I wanted to get the coffee and paper done first and I did…so now it’s time for this. there was a funny thing that happened during the Man U match yesterday…one of the commentators, Ian Darke, mentioned Grand Rapids during the game…not sure why he knows that GR exists but I thought it was pretty cool….Slept okay, I think…but I’m not sure…and no dream at all…crap…it was kind of fun hearing from T from Atlanta yesterday and having a nice running text conversation….didn’t expect to hear from her until she gets back into town….not much to do today….looks like a sports day with the Wings, a race, and then Michigan and MSU playing later in the day…so that will be it…total veg with sports…more later…
Bob Woodward is afraid?
Well…I don’t know if you have been following the whole nonsense surrounding Bob Woodward (you know, the Watergate Woodward) and what he said was a threatening e-mail he got from the White House…and his immediate need to run to Fox news to tell everyone about it. If you saw the e-mail, you must be scratching your head and asking “what threat?” That the aide that sent the letter said he may “regret” writing that the whole sequester mess is Obama’s fault….especially since it isn’t? This is supposed to be the guy that went up against the thugs in Nixon’s White House and didn’t blink? And Nixon’s thugs were really thugs that had no problem with breaking any law they didn’t like and using physical violence to get their point across…and now he runs crying to Fox because he has a little boo boo on his feelings? I have lost all of the respect I used to have for this guy…and he is showing the behavior that all of the right has….the “poor me”, all the world is against me and picking on me crap…boo hoo….had enough of this and the last thing I have to say to ole Bob is…grow a pair..geez…
