Well…just a couple of months ago if someone had told me that I would be disinterested in politics, I would have just laughed my head off..after all, politics have been my lifeblood for as long as I can remember and the thought of not spending a large part of my day reading, thinking, and talking about it just is wrong…at least it was…but, now, I can’t get very interested or work up the outrage necessary to write the kind of fiery stuff that I used to do…the stuff that was dripping with sarcasm for idiots and never suffering fools gladly…I’m not sure when the change happened but I may be going through withdrawal from it…even though it doesn’t really feel that way…maybe the crushing boredom of being unemployed is part of it; I know that I have lost interest in the nonsense that comes from the right and the fact that with Citizens United, they can buy any election they want and no fact or bit of honesty can counteract it…I will keep trying, and trying, and trying, though…until it gets to the point that I can’t muster the strength to go on…I would like to get to 2,000….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t really accomplish anything except getting the bathroom cleaned…but it really needed it so maybe that was enough…went to bed late and was up really early and I’m not sure how long I can keep up only sleeping 4 to 5 hours a night…I guess we’ll see….there were dreams last night but the took an unusual pattern in that the vivid ones came really early in the night…and I did get shot 4 times but it was only a .22 so I survived it and was just really irritated….I should feel better than I do today since I was really good yesterday but the allergies are now a constant so that could be it…not much to do today…well…I do have some things to do if I decide to do them…but I’m not sure yet….I will come back to try to get caught up today….there has to be something to comment on….the world is still turning, after all….

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I won at pool so that was okay…and I did get the new glasses so I can see really well now…didn’t know that I needed stronger ones until I got to the store and compared the old ones with the new ones…all the way up to 1.25 magnification…yeah, I know, that’s still not much when they go up to 3 so I guess I shouldn’t feel that bad about it…I feel a little crappy today since the pain that has been in my left neck has moved to the right now….I could say that it is a pain in the neck but that is just too bad of a pun…it looks like a normal day today with working out in a bit along with the bike ride and I am going to take it a little easy to heal up some….so, I’ll be back later for another one…I am behind again…

Well…it was an interesting day yesterday and I had lots of stuff to do so that made the day go by really quickly…went to T’s son’s graduation party and I’m glad I went…she was really happy that I came and I got the chance to meet T’s brother and hang out with her parents for a while…I now really know where she gets her oddness…but, that oddness is a good thing…then, I met up with the twins over at Rose’s for a couple…I can’t believe I’ve driven my new car over 600 miles already…I did break my glasses a couple of days back and need to go out this morning and get a couple of new pairs…was waiting for them to go on sale and they are now so I can get two for the price of one….I do have things to do today…it’s only about 8:20 and I am getting ready to get on the bike already and then, out to shoot pool this aft….I may have to use the air in the car today…it’s going to be 90…yow…more later…

Well….have been up since about 6, and that is way better than 4, so I do feel a little better today and thought I’d get this one out before I get out on the bike…want to go early before the heat and wind come up and it is just fun to be out by 8:30…nope…it’s 8:30 now so I will be a little later….I did put the top down on the car to go over for the papers this morning and that did make me smile a bit….not sure what I’m going to do today but might be hanging out with the twins for a while…I did get a pork loin in the the slow cooker at about 7 so that is something to look forward to…I hope it has some flavor since I have only been able to stomach heavily flavored foods for quite a while now….that’s about it for now….need to get on the bike and do 30….more later…

Well…it was a day today that was almost completely gray…it should have been fun…driving the new car out to GH to look at the water with the top down with good music playing…but I feel just so flat, so lifeless that I couldn’t enjoy anything today. And, it continues now…I broke my reading glasses and now they are held together with the leftover duct tape from the old car and that is how I feel today…like I’m held together with duct tape and it could unravel at any time….I know it’s temporary but I am getting so tired of never smiling, of never getting that feeling in your chest when life is just good and you want more of it…so, tonight will be a cocktail night and I’ll lick the wounds and try to start again tomorrow….and try to live up to my potential…I know, a weird thing to say for someone my age…

Well…it was a day yesterday with getting the new speakers for the car and new wipers….that completed what I wanted to do for it right now so now all I have to do is drive it….slept okay last night but I am still worn out so it will be a slow day today…I do need to figure out what to do so I am going to go back to the couch and drink some water…not really feeling it right now…there is something that is gnawing on me but I haven’t figured it out yet so I need to do some mulling….

Well…another night of 4 hours of sleep and this is getting to be annoying…it’s a little after 5 and I don’t have anything to do so I thought I’d just sit here an think for a while…I did have a dream last night that was just a short snippet but it involved lightning and was kind of scary….but, other than that, nothing, and that is normally how it works when I’m not sleeping…I may have to go with the otc sleeping pills again for a while since I am exhausted and just can’t keep this up…It was a good day yesterday with figuring out the headrest speakers on the car but now I have to decide what to do about them…I may go out and look for some new ones today but it is Thursday and grocery run day so I may have to wait until tomorrow…although, I was planning on making a GH run tomorrow with the top down so I may have to re think….I will be back with a political one later in the morning since I’m up so early….more later…

Okay…just a little update on the happenings of the morning…I decided to go out and look at speakers since the rattle behind my ear was starting to really annoy me and found a set at Best Buy for half price…only 28 bucks for a 4 inch two way pair that are rated at 200 watts….and it took me about 2 minutes to install them…they barely fit, though, and I may take it back apart and cut the mounting tabs off them since they are not necessary…with those speakers, the car is now complete and I can run the stereo as loud as I want…when you get it up there now the whole seat vibrates with the bass and it feels really cool….

Well…it was a long night last night with no sleep at all…have been up since 4 and with this being two days in a row of this, I am really worn out today…and disappointed about the Wisconsin election yesterday…but, life goes on and I need to get over it…another example of the toxic damage that unlimited money is doing to the country…but, that’s not for here….I was going to go out and hit some golf balls today but I’m not sure…I think I’ll just play it by ear today…I do need to get some different sunscreen for the car…maybe some of the spray on clear stuff….more later….

Okay…just found out a cool thing about my car…one of the speakers in the headrest is going bad and I thought it was going to be a huge project to replace it…well…it has a zipper that you unzip to get to the speakers and you can take them out in about 30 seconds…so, I’m going to look for speakers this week and get it replaced…yay…

Well….it has been a busy morning with the normal workout and bike ride but then I had to take the title for the old car out to the boneyard that took it…a really nice drive with the top down and then got a pleasant surprise of $100 bucks they paid me for the wreck…I was just shocked but really happy to get the extra cash….and I did get a photo of the car that I didn’t get at the wreck so that was cool, too….and I am really getting to like my new car more and more as I drive it…put premium in it (like I’m supposed to) and it seems much happier…so I am, too….
