Well…running late again today and I think it’s because I haven’t been able to get the brain running early…or at all, really, and that makes it difficult to just sit here and write anything….I did have dreams last night about vinyl records and that all of mine had disappeared…especially my “Easy Rider” soundtrack album…why I was thinking about that, I don’t know. Feel a little crappy today and the bug is just not going away and the cocktails are not helping so I think I’ll take a few weeks off and let the liver rest…and it will take off a few calories so that will be a win win….it looks like it may be warm enough to put the top down on the car today and I really should wash it to get the salt off….not much to do today…I do need to work out and then get resumes out but that is about it…more later…

Well…another long day yesterday and I don’t have much to say this morning…I did get out to see K for a few minutes and that was fun but it did overload me for the night so I feel kind of crappy this morning…slept okay, I think, but with the way I feel, I can’t be sure….I am going to cook today since the leftovers are all gone but I’m not sure I’m looking forward to it…okay…just don’t have anything to say right now so I’m going to stop here and have more coffee…more later…

Well…it’s 9 so I guess that is the new normal for the weekend…it was an okay day yesterday but the Wings lost again and that depresses me somewhat…but, I feel okay this morning even with cocktails last night so it must be that I am slowly getting over the bug or that I slept better…who knows? When I was on my way over to Meijers this morning, it struck me how nice my car is for being almost 20 years old…I smile when I walk up to it and away from it…how weird is that? Yeah, but you know me and I am weird and proud of it…not going to talk about being depressed about not finding work since it is the weekend and I get to take them off from looking and try to act as if my life is normal….and I do have a few things to do today…mostly laundry…no cooking today since I do need to use up the leftovers….I should clean the kitchen and do bedding, too and I think I will….I do have another one for later but I think I’ll wait a while for that one…need to let it form up for a while…

Well..running late today…since the days all just run together, I thought it was the weekend…not really, but that is as good of an excuse as any…I had a Valentine’s day yesterday but without anyone in my life, what’s the point? I did sleep better but I think it was the cocktails and I don’t want to get into that habit so I won’t….no dreams to speak of so I won’t…I did forget to put tomatoes on my pizza yesterday and I can’t figure out why I can’t get over it…yep, that how screwed up my head is right now and I’m not sure why that is…not sure about anything, really, and that is kind of unsettling….but, today is another day and I am going to skip working out today and just do a Friday veg job…going to try to find a few movies to watch or maybe some soccer….and I am going to cook some ribs since I forgot the peas for a pot pie recipe that I got from T so I’ll have to do that one tomorrow…more later…oh, Colbert was just so damn funny doing a bit on the Rubio water dance that you should go out to YouTube to find it…at least it was funny to me…more later…

Well….running late again today but today, finally, I have an excuse…my internet has been out until just now so i decided to go out to get some groceries while I waited for it to come back on…and the bitch is the signal to my phone has been so bad lately that I couldn’t even use my data connection…everything is okay now…I just can’t believe how dependent I’ve become on having the connection on my phone in the mornings…helps me get started on my day while I lay on the couch and try to get moving…it was an okay day yesterday…I did put the top down and found that if I dress right and the sun is out, I can put it down with the temp about 31 degrees….and I do like being the weird guy with the top down in Feb…I did win at pool again yesterday but it looked like neither of us really were that enthused about the whole thing….not much to do today…going to make another home made pizza for lunch and then just send resumes….yeah…it’s just as boring to me…

Well…it was a long night last night and I did my civic duty by watching the SOTU and parts of the repub response…but that is for another one for later today…another repub “savior” bites the dust…slept the worst in weeks and woke up cocooned in the sheets today from tossing and turning all night and I am exhausted this morning….did get a few things done yesterday but it is all just treading water and I am getting tired of it…at least it may be almost 40 today and I may just put the top down on the car to get my Feb one in….it will mean dressing for it better than I have before and I can do that….not much to do today….just more recovery from the bug I’ve had and taking it easy this morning….Man U is playing this aft so that will be cool…more later…

Well..it’s after 9 and that is really late for a weekday…no excuses, really…just haven’t had much to say…slept like crap last night and the damn phone had a software update come through at 4:45 that sent the alarms dinging for a half hour as it updated the apps…I finally did remember that you can turn the ringer off but the damage had already been done…the phone seems to be faster now so that is cool…I think I may be getting over the bug that I had for the past week since I haven’t been coughing nearly as much since yesterday….I did have one thought that popped into my head this morning as I lay there trying to get back to sleep…what would be your theme music? What music would you have them play when you walk out on stage for “the Daily Show?” I’ve been leaning toward “Pretzel Logic” but that builds really slow…maybe something from Led Zeppelin or Neil Young? Or, something obscure from Lee Michaels?
Have to think about that for awhile….you can see I have too much time on my hands…and that is going to continue today with not much to do…more later…

Well…sitting here running late again and there is no reason for it other than I’m just not too motivated right now…it was just another long Sunday for me yesterday some good news that Man U and the Wings both won but then the boredom that usually marks my days flooded back in and I had to shift back to enduring mode…but, I survived it and now we have Monday to deal with…and the coffee isn’t really helping yet…the wind was blowing so hard when I went out for papers this morning I had a hard time walking straight and now it is blowing even harder…I can feel it running through this place like I have a window open….I’ll have to watch to see if any of the patio stuff takes off and I have to chase it…not much to do today…and this time I mean it…I can’t think of anything right now so I think I’ll go back to “Flying Down to Rio” and try to escape for a while…

Well…not sure where this is coming from but a thunderbolt just hit me with an idea for one of these…and I’m not sure if it is from my advancing age or if the daily overload of meanness and injustice that comes from reading as much as I do…but this just popped into my head….”why?” It is an interesting word and I think it goes to the core of what make us human…why? Why do religions that purport to follow the peaceful Jesus hate so much? Why to they ignore the rest of his teachings like taking care of the sick, loving your neighbor, or feeding the poor? Why does the Catholic church especially hate gays so much? Why do they think so little of women that they try and try to take away their basic human right to control their own bodies?

Why do politicians who purport to be religious people go out of their way to hurt the poor by cutting and cutting the safety net? Why do they then spend so much time and energy protecting the rich?

Why do the people that hire have to go out of their way to reject people like me? Why is age so bad? Why is being unemployed so bad? Why, why, why…….I don’t have any of the answers, but the questions are starting to corrode me…they are starting to hollow me out from the inside….and they are starting to make me think that maybe there isn’t another job out there for me….and that is the worst thing I’ve ever felt….

Well…running normally today and I have had the coffee and paper but, with cocktails and the bug I have, I feel a little crappy this morning…had a nice day of talking to T yesterday and I feel bad about her broken thumb…something she just didn’t need at all…fell asleep on the couch last night and I have the stiff neck to show for it…it was a pretty boring night so that was it…I am going to make a home made pizza for lunch today and I have been looking forward to that for a couple of days now…yeah, I know, my life is really, really boring if that is all I have to look forward to…oh, and Man U plays this morning so that is something, too…and the Wings play this aft…geez…my memory is going today….other than those things, not much to do today….got most of the cleaning done yesterday so this morning is going to be soccer, coffee, and couch….not a bad way to spend a Sunday….more later…
