Well…I finally got back on the bike today and it was a nice ride…but, I haven’t really done much other than that today…I was going to do a political one today but there really is not much happening that I want to comment on…Michigan is looking pretty terrible today but the last time I looked, they were up by 14 and trying to give the game away…I am looking forward to the Wings game tonight but there is not a good candidate for my second channel to flip to…”The Bank Dick” with WC Fields is on at 8 so maybe that’s one to consider….I think it will be a cocktail night tonight but I am going to take it easy and just have a couple…the tooth is finally coming around but yesterday I burned the crap out of the same side of my mouth and having pain there for so long is getting really tiring. Have to really get on the job search again tomorrow but I took the day off today to try to stop feeling so bad about it….okay, big wreck in the race and I’m going to go watch it…

November 12th
Well…another night and another Wings win so that was okay…I’m sitting here waiting for the coffee to brew and thought I’d do a short one here…weird, weird dreams that had the revealing of a new car model in my place combined with the standard college one that I have all the time…and this place was just huge with an upstairs and a downstairs…yeah, I know, I’m weird as hell. Okay, the coffee is done and I have to go read the papers and watch the F1 qualifying….more later…
I do have to say happy birthday to Neil Young….
Another boring day….
Well…that wasn’t going to be the title but “kill me, I’m bored” seemed to be a little over the top…so I thought I’d relieve it a little bit by sitting down here again and seeing what happens. Hmmm…nothing is happening….I wonder how long I should wait? Probably not a long time…it is a second day of not being on the bike and I’m still sore…but, you don’t want to hear about that…do you want to hear about any of this? Maybe I should make this one political? I was going to do one on the idiot AG here in Michigan…but it is on a topic that I really can’t talk about here…so, where do we go? Okay…let me get the Detroit News out from today and see if there is something there…be right back. Nope, nothing there….so, I think I’ll stop here and go try to find something else to do….
November 11th
Well…it was a night last night…just like the thousands of others…I slept okay but am still tired…maybe it’s because I still got up before 6…I wonder if boredom makes you tired? I did get the kitchen scrubbed yesterday including cleaning the floor with a scrub brush….it didn’t look bad until I started but then it was pretty gross…I find myself walking into it and just looking at it I did so good of a job on it…yeah, my life is that boring….an today is going to be cleaning the bathroom! Yay! Okay…enough of that….I do have a few things to do today starting with the F1 practice but it is going to be too cold to go out on the bike…that will be two days off but I don’t feel guilty about it….I do feel guilty about other things, though…more later….
November 10th
Well…it’s 5:48 and I’m up again but I actually feel quite good…another no cocktail night and the weird thing is that I slept okay but I have been grinding my teeth again and my jaw hurts like crazy again this morning….but that’s okay…not a bad tradeoff to feel this good in the morning….interesting show on Nova last night about time and what it really is that has still left me a little confused but a good exercise for the brain for a change that made me work some and I like it. There are so many things in the news that I need to comment on later…Joe Paterno, Rick Perry’s meltdown in the debate last night, and the new polls that show that over 60% of the country want the feds to step in to correct the growing income disparity her in the US…and I just want the tea partiers to keep talking about nothing but slashing….there I go again…I need to wait on this stuff for the political one later…not much to do today…I have to get groceries and then run some errands and I think the kitchen floor needs some work….more later….
November 9th
Well…it was a no cocktail night last night and it was not as boring as I expected…a pretty good Wings game helped as they beat the Avs and looked okay…there was some standing around and they almost let them back in the game but a much better performance…so now, I do have something to look forward to with the back to backs on Friday and Saturday….no dreams that I can remember but I know there were some…but you’re probably getting bored with me reporting them anyway so maybe that’s a good thing…have to get out to some of the news sites here pretty quick so I can see what the election results were….that will be a topic for later; especially the self-destructive re-igniting of the culture wars in Mississippi….I just love the ultra conservatives…they give me things to write about and their….nope, that for a later one….not much to do today…looks like the job is not going to pan out so I have a goal of getting at least 5 resumes out today….and I hope to get a bike ride in an go over 2500 miles today but it has been raining almost steady for 24 hours and the radar doesn’t look good right now…more later…
November 8th
Well…a long day yesterday and I won at pool again so that was fun….but I am completely broke and will have to spend the rest of the week just riding the bike and hanging out here…and figuring out how to make chicken forty different ways so I won’t get bored with it…but it is going to rain the next two days with it changing over to snow by Thursday and I am not looking forward to it…I do need to get to Thanksgiving wearing shorts so that will be some kind of a challenge with the cold coming up….not much to do today…have to run over to G’s to put her trash containers in since she is out of town but that is about it…..more resumes to send, too, but then it’s going to be just laying low and writing….I already got one out if you look down and I will try to get another one out later…
November 7th
Well…another night, more tv, and that was about it….I am really bored….but I did have some really weird dreams that had crazy cab drivers, my daughter going to school at 14, and work where I couldn’t find my office…I think that one is a variation on the can’t find the class college one that I have frequently….there is a spider alert going on here today since I got webs across my face when I walked out of my bedroom…and that is really creepy and I still can feel them in my hair….I was up at 5 but with daylight savings over it gets light pretty early….that doesn’t have anything to do with anything…..and I am tired of doing this right now so I’m going to come back later…
Okay, I’m back for a couple of minutes…I did get the bike ride in but the tooth is still throbbing and I hope that the salt water will help that….looks like a pool day today and I am getting ready to go out and do that…I will try to come back for another one later…
Here’s the lyric: “late one night I was walking in the valley of hearts…spirit came to me and said…you gotta move to start….you’ve gotta take the first step….you gotta crawl to be tall…then she told me something I’ll never forget…..you’ve got love to burn…”
Another one….
Well…it’s only three o’clock and I am bored out of my mind….so, I thought I’d just sit here for a few minutes and take a crack at another one…and it will be just noodling around since I really don’t know what to write about…the bike ride was nice but way too much wind and I’ll be paying for it tomorrow…although, the ibuprofen I took for my sore tooth is helping that somewhat. The letdown from the hope of a new job has become complete and I think that may be part of why I feel a little low today….need to get back into the process of looking for work tomorrow but I am going to take the rest of the day off and just kind of wallow in the disappointment….but tomorrow will be better and you never know what will happen….I am going to see if I can get through the week with no money..and that means I’ll have to get by with the gas that is in the car..I think there’s only about a quarter of a tank left in it so it may be a stretch…and I’ll have to eat out of the freezer which means chicken, chicken, chicken all week but that is okay, too.
I was going to talk about politics but I think you’ve heard it all from me for a while so I’m going to give you a break today and just do this one….I am curious to see the results of the “leave the big banks” day that was Saturday and of the repeal of the union busting legislation that is on the ballot for the elections in Ohio Tuesday….the polls there say it is going to pass with a huge majority…I hope this sends a message to the repubs that the rest of us are just sick and tired of their attacks on middle class and poor….we can hope anyway…
November 6th
Well…another night at home and it is getting really boring but I guess I’ll live through it…didn’t remember that the clocks had to be turned back last night and I was a little confused this morning…but I lived through that, too and now the cobwebs are starting to clear…it is already 42 outside so I may be able to get the ride in this morning…probably one of the last times this year that will happen so I should enjoy it…no dreams or anything else to report but the Wings finally won one and that was enough to make my night. Not much to do today…with the Lions on a bye week that just leaves the race from Texas and some soccer to watch today…don’t have any cash so that rules out doing anything else but that’s okay….staying in builds character…or something…more later…
Here’s today’s lyric: “Your day breaks, your mind aches, you find that all her words of kindness linger on when she no longer needs you…”
