Well…it was an okay if wasted day yesterday since I am getting addicted to the new Plex server my son set up…an all day Sopranos marathon has turned me into a couch potato…but, I will try to be better today and get some stuff done instead….I did wake up sore this morning like I wrenched my back and am having a hard time moving with my right side…must have slept on it last night…found that my youngest has his own website now that is going to be a combo blog/photo site where he will be posting pictures of his cats…it will be interesting to see where it goes and if he has the eye for photos that I used to have….not much to do today…I do have a bunch of stuff to get done today around here and a couple of errands to run but that is about it…there will be sports later with the Wings and basketball so that is something to look forward to…more later…

Schuette just hates the people of Michigan..
Well…with today’s revelation of our AG’s suit against subsidies for people getting healthcare in the state, we can see that Bill Schuette just hates the people of Michigan…going so far as to take affordable insurance away from residents just to prove that he hates Obamacare and any program that helps people who need it. Where the hell were you before Obamacare passed, Bill? Not a peep out of you for people whose insurance was canceled, not a peep for people with pre-existing conditions that couldn’t get insurance, not a peep for people who couldn’t afford insurance….but, you roar like a lion against the basic help the the ACA provides to people who need it…just like the appeal of the equality ruling, and conspiring with the extremists at Right to Life of Michigan to take away womens access to their healthcare, ole Bill just hates the people of Michigan and solving any of their problems…just make sure they are held down and don’t have the avenue to financial security or equality….this is your repub party, hate, hate, hate…geez….
March 26th
Well…it was a little bit of a busy day yesterday with working on some computer stuff with my son…he took control and updated a bunch of stuff and got me to the latest version of Firefox….and get me hooked up to his new service called Plex that gives me way too much tv to watch….stayed up until midnight last night watching “The Sopranos” and started out the day doing the same…slept okay last night but tossed and turned a lot but, being good, I feel okay today…I am running a little late since I did stop to talk with some folks this morning but that is what makes life more than the drag that it normally is….not much to do today…going to try to earn my Sopranos time by getting some stuff done first, starting with working out and then some cleaning before lunch…more later….
Another day…better than yesterday…
Well…it’s been a better day today…didn’t get much done but I did get the roku connected to my son’s server that will allow me to watch new tv shows just like Hulu+ but without paying for it…have been watching “Game of Thrones” all afternoon and there are new movies and other stuff to see…so, it looks like the next couple of days are going to be wasted…but, I will clean some to earn the shows and to not feel guilty…also got my firefox updated from 3 to version 28 which I will have to get used to…they took the refresh button off so that is something I’ll have to get used to…might not need it but I have used it so it might be something I need to look into…more later…
Now corporations have religion, too?
Well…I am amazed at the new case that comes before the supreme court today where a for profit corporation is suing to not have to have their insurance carrier cover birth control….and, they are suing on religious grounds, as if a corporation goes to church and prays…yeah, not making this one up. You only have to think what the ramification of a win for these asses would mean…then, the corporation would own you even more than they do now and could intrude on you life for religious grounds even if you’re an atheist…don’t go to church? Fired. Married to a black woman? Fired. Muslim? Fired. You can see where I’m going here…if these people prevail, the rights of all Americans will be decimated and the religious asses that try to control their employees lives outside work will have complete control…just what the righties want…geez….
March 25th
Well..I was wrong…the lunch with T did a lot to better my mood yesterday but I still just couldn’t work up the energy to do another one…so, I need to do four today since I am running out of month to get caught up…I could make the excuse that the site was down for a couple of days…and I just might later, but not now…slept like crap, again, but had some cool dreams with cats, castles, and the Miata in them so that was neat…but, only 5 hours so that is a little disappointing…and, I had to clean 2 more inches of snow off the car this morning so it looks like I’ll be off the bike for another week as this crap melts…oh, well…not much to do today…I have let this place go over the past couple of weeks so I need to get some stuff done around here and then look at the new server my son has set up to stream tv shows…more later…
March 24th
Well…it was just another Sunday yesterday and I have gotten up today feeling quite down for some reason…even the prospect of having lunch with T is not bringing me out of the funk…didn’t sleep well and my tooth is giving me pain again…it seems like a perfect storm to depression…but, it’s not new so I guess I’ll just have to get used to it….not much to do today…I think I may just turn this into a day to just nurse the wounds and survive…I do need more coffee and a workout so maybe that will help…who knows?
Typical howl from the right…
Well…it has been funny to hear the howl coming from the right here in Michigan…was actually looking out the door to see if I could see or hear any heads exploding…on the ruling on equality that was handed down Friday afternoon in favor of everyone having the same rights. The cries were the same ones that you always hear when the repub sponsored bigotry is found to be unconstitutional…damn activist, liberal judge! But, the only problem with that is that this guy was appointed by Reagan…so that makes him a liberal? I am so tired of the repubs loving government when they can use it to discriminate, but when the result is to increase equality and freedom, they just howl like crazy….and one other funny thing is that in every state where these types of cases have come to the court, every judge has come down on the side of the 14th amendment and equal protection…so now all judges are activist liberals? Get over it haters…get over the fact that this country is changing toward equality and tolerance for all, not just the people you agree with…geez…
Oh, on last thing… Schuette, stop spending my tax money to defend discrimination with the appeal…especially since you have no case…
March 23rd
Well….it was a long day yesterday with all of the sports on but all of my teams won for the first time that I can remember so that was cool….I was not good last night so I feel a little slow today and it looks like I won’t be able to get out on the bike today since it won’t get above freezing and the snow melt will be ice again…not going to risk crashing….and it looks like it will be Thursday until it’s warm enough again….not much to do today…I am going to make another home made pizza and then just veg for the day…racing and hockey is going to be the order of the day…more later…
Equality marches on…
Well…just a short one on the cool developments here in Michigan where a federal judge just struck down the discrimination that was enshrined in the constitution when the marriage inequality act was passed in 2004. I really like what the judge did with the supposed “experts” that the state of Michigan called in to support continuation of inequality, basically calling them lying hacks who had nothing to add to the case….but, the best part is that the judge used the 14th amendment to the constitution and it’s equal protection clause to say that everyone has to be treated equally…you don’t get to discriminate just because you have the votes to do it…I do feel bad that the appeals court has stepped in an stayed the ruling until next week but it won’t last forever and everyone in the state will be equal when it happens…yay…
