Well…awoke this morning to a full blown case of depression since our side stayed home and now the repubs own the country…or I should say that the Koch’s now own the country and I am so pissed at our lazy voters who stayed home…okay…can’t even write more I am so disappointed…maybe I won the lotto and can leave this country….

A disappointing day…
Well….it has been a disappointing day so far and it looks like it will get worse later….haven’t been able to get on the bike since it has been raining all morning and I have no energy at all…and, it will get worse later since it looks like the repubs are going to win today and that will leave us good guys in the wilderness for the next two years until we take the entire government back from the idiots on the right…and there are idiots on the right…just look at Joni Ernst who looks to win in her senate race…she is the one who has said in speeches that she will fight against the UN coming in and forcing people off their land and into the cities…yep, she actually believes that stupid conspiracy theory…but the people who vote for here are even dumber than she is…when I went to vote today at around 9:30…there had been only 85 people who had voted in my precinct in the first two and a half hours and the place looked like a morgue…the sad thing is for us dems is that if we just get off our lazy asses and vote, we will turn the repubs out forever…I guess having the rich own this country is just not that important to our side….depressing to say the least…
November 4th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…slept okay but no dreams to speak of and I feel okay today with being good last night….I am getting depressed about the coming weather that is going to be in the 30’s all week next week…not ready to put the snowies on the car yet and I’m not going to….will just have to hibernate here if it snows….it is election day so I need to get out and vote this morning after the rush…if there is any…I should have cocktails tonight with all the bad news that is coming…going to be really depressed for the next week or so when the repubs will be crowing…I just can’t believe people are so stupid to vote for them after how badly they have screwed up Michigan….oh, well….will talk about that later in another one….more later….
Get out and vote tomorrow…
Well…getting to the end of election season and I am pretty happy that I won’t have to see any more ads after then…and, it looks like the good guys are going to lose the senate…at least that’s what the polls say….there is one small thread of hope that we still have and that is if the GOTV actions are not reflected in the polls…but I am not going to go all right wing delusional about it…if we lose, it’s our fault for not voting since we outnumber them…at least we won’t have Terri Land as a senator and that may be the only consolation we can take away from this one….there is one thing that will be sure if the repubs do take the senate…more Obamacare repeal votes…more investigations and none of the country’s business getting done…ole Ted Cruz is so delusional that he thinks he’d have the votes to override a veto…that’s not going to happen…ever….but these folks have never been encumbered by reality…so I guess I’m not surprised…to end this thing, the only thing that will fix this country is for you to go out and vote…I trust that most of you who come here every day are at least a little progressive so get out there and vote for more equal rights for everyone….if any of you are repubs, I just heard on Fox news that Ebola can be transmitted through voting machines so you should stay home to be safe…after all you believe everything Fox says don’t you?
November 3rd
Well…running late again today since the server was down again until just now….it was an okay day yesterday but the bug got worse and today I feel better… a little, but still not good…looks like this will be an all week thing…it is T’s birthday today but I haven’t heard from her all weekend so I guess I’ll just wait to hear from her…slept crappy again last night…as always…and that is part of why I feel so tired today….didn’t get anything done yesterday but the bike ride…didn’t even cook anything and I may be under by a few hundred calories which may be compounding how I feel….not much to do today…have to dig out the voters guide from last weeks paper and do my homework for the election tomorrow but that is about it…..more later….
Sunday…Sunday…
Well…it has been one of those days for me today…the cold or whatever it is is back with a vengeance and I have felt like crap all day today with coughing and sneezing and generally no energy…and Man U lost this morning so that was depressing, too….the time change is hitting me right now with it being dark around 5:30….ick…I did get the shifter on the bike adjusted so it works fine again but the bike ride was just off somehow…I just sit differently with the thermasuit on and that takes some adjusting to…May have to do some more work on it tomorrow since I do want the front shifter to work, too….the Red Wings are going through a let down right now from the win Friday night…the just look slow tonight…okay….that’s enough…now I don’t have to feel guilty about getting behind…
November 2nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but too much going to have a few with both G and K…that took a lot out of me and I am feeling it today…and the time change always has an effect for a few days….didn’t sleep well at all and that, with the bug, has me wanting to hit the couch right now to watch the Man U game…I did get the bike ride in yesterday even though it was 29 degrees when I went out…a little cold but the thermasuit did it’s job…I did break a rear shift cable about 3 miles from here and had to ride back in top gear since the front shifter is a little stiff from not using it…I did get it fixed, though, so it will be interesting to see how close I am in the adjustment…okay, the match is starting to it’s couch time….more later…
November 1st
Well…another month starts with more depression with having to pay the rent today…oh, well….and I didn’t win the Mega last night so I’m still broke…I did win at pool yesterday and put another 8 ball in on the break for two in one month…I’ve never done two in a year before so that was cool….slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of….and I didn’t get much done either but I hope to rectify that today with cleaning….not sure if I’ll get a bike ride in today since, if I do, I’ll have to do a half thermasuit and I’m not sure I want to do that yet…it will all hinge on if it’s sunny or not…not much to do today…cleaning and soccer and football is about it…and another one of these so I don’t get behind…more later…
Thank you Captain Obvious…
Well…it is the end of the month and a Friday so that means it’s a cocktail night so I thought I’d get this one done before I retire to the couch for some relaxation…just read about a new study done on what drives the tea party…not the founding of it..we all know it was an astroturf organization founded by the Koch’s and other right wing billionaires to use to funnel money into right wing causes…but, what has been kept hidden to the mainstream media..well…not hidden but of no interest to them….is the glue that holds it together….and, a new study done at Florida state puts science to work to divine what that is…and guess what? It’s racial resentment! And racism….thank you Captain Obvious for that little nugget of truth…from the start, the tea party was a movement of white guys that just hated that there was a black guy in the White House…how else do you explain the constant effort of everyone on the right to de-legitimize the president? It’s not complex…they hate black people and this is how racists react…simple as that…..geez…
October 31st
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…but, it is the end of the month and that is one of the worst days for me…slept okay last night and had some dreams that I can’t remember….and they were pretty vivid…darn….still feeling pretty crappy today with the cold that I have but it’s not getting worse so it can’t be the flu….and that is a good thing even if I don’t have anywhere to be….might have lunch with T today and that will be fun if it happens…haven’t seen her in quite a while….not much to do today….pool, of course, and then back here for the Red Wings but that is about it….and one more of these since it is the last day of the month…more later….
