Well…have been up since 4:16 with no luck trying to get back to sleep so it looks like a nap day later on….not sure why the not sleeping…okay, I do…no cocktail night last night and the pattern is always the same…so, I should be used to it by now…there were dreams that were repeaters and strange but they have already faded and I’m not sure what the subject was…..didn’t do much yesterday but clean a little and it looks like the same for today….they are coming to service the furnace today so that means a lot of work for me, too, and lots of Febreeze….not much to do today…after the service call, I’m going to just take it easy and make lunch…more later…
Second one for the day…
Well…I have been working hard to find some topics today…well…not really…I did go out for a bike ride in the 25mph plus wind and it was just brutal…on one downhill, I got hit with a gust that must have been between 40 and 50 and when I stopped pedaling, I was pushed backwards up the hill…just like a huge hand had just reached down to pull me…I laughed so damn hard at that one…it was just so unexpected and being able to stay on the bike and ride it backwards up a hill must have looked pretty cool to others….too bad there weren’t any others….other than that fun, the ride was just pure torture and I couldn’t think of anything other than getting done…and riding is where I normally get quite a few ideas….or process the news from the papers to turn it into topics…but, I won’t apologize for this little slump I’m in…not yet, anyway…that will come next month if this continues…more later…
April 28th
Well…it was an okay if lazy day yesterday and I am running late this morning for some reason…okay, it was from watching last night’s episode of GOT….and it is still hard to get moving…still sore all over but the back is getting better so that is something…slept okay but the tooth is hurting again and I can’t figure it out…probably grinding them again sleeping but that is getting tiresome…didn’t get on the bike yesterday but I am going today even thought the wind is just as strong today….it is a little warmer and it should be up to over 47 by the time I get done working out….will just have to go slow into the wind on the way out and then go with it on the way back…not much to do today…I am going to clean a little but that is about it…the trash needs to go out too with the sinking chicken tray driving me nuts…more later…
Trying to keep up again…
Well…it has been a lazy day today and I even skipped the bike ride with the wind blowing over 20…and I have been thinking about topics for today without much luck….there is the whole racism thing that has been running through the news lately and the funniest part off that is any repub coming out to say they are shocked, shocked, that there are racists in the repub party…look, today’s repub party is based on racism, sexism, and hatred and they wear it as a badge of honor…voter suppression, anti immigration, hatred of gays and on an on are planks in the repub platform….and, let’s keep away from the false equivalency that everyone is that way…none of the progressives that I know are and you never hear anyone on the left saying this crap….geez….
April 27th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and it was fun to get out and have a couple with K but the bike ride was a trial with the lungs not working as well as I expected….slept okay and had weird dreams last night about making money by letting some group of Japanese people kill me while they watched…and the strange thing was that I was not afraid of the dying part…I was afraid of the pain that the bomb was going to cause before I died or that I wasn’t going to die and I would have to deal with being broken…then, I woke up and realized it hasn’t gotten to that point….yet….and, the Wings lost and are out of the playoffs which was not unexpected but still disappointing….I did have this thought that I miss “Jazz Brunch” that I used to listen to on LAV every Sunday morning…so I put “Kind of Blue” on the player to go out to get the paper this morning…not the same thing…just something missing from it…maybe it’s life that has something missing? Not sure about that…more later….
This is pretty funny…
Well…have been following the whole Cliven Bundy thing for a couple of days now and I find the reporting of the thing by Fox to be quite funny…when ole Cliven was just a thief that stole a million dollars from you and me, Fox championed him as being some kind of a patriot, as they do with all of the thieves on the right when they break the law…never mind that the repubs are supposed to be the “law and order” party…but, the latest reporting on Fox of ole Cliven’s racist rant is interesting to say the least…in that it doesn’t exist there…nope, not one peep from even ole Cliven’s biggest supporter and publicity agent, Sean Hannity….and that is pretty funny…not that Fox even gives a damn about the crap they spout….it’s just funny that they backed the wrong guy and it blew up in their faces…as it almost always does with each and every new American hero they try to promote…geez…
April 26th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…made some money so that was cool…but, the damn electric company moved my bill date up three days so I almost missed paying it…slept okay but I am still sore everywhere and I’m not sure why that is…need to take some ibuprofen before the bike ride to see if that helps….but, the ride won’t be til later since it is still too cold outside to go right now…I did discover that the last Wings game is on at three this aft instead of tonight and I would have missed it without reading the papers this morning…not much to do today…I do have to do laundry and clean a little but that is about it….more later…
Need to keep up…
Well…the day turned out better than expected and I made a little cash so that is cool…and I got to put the top down out and back for pool and that always makes me smile….but, I think the clutch cylinder I replaced is going bad again…just doesn’t feel right…damn….one political thing that I am smiling about is the pushback the Koch brothers are finally getting on the lies they are spouting across the country…people are starting to recognize their ads when they come on and are skipping them…they have already spent over 30 million dollars on trying to buy the senate in this election but have not moved the needle one bit…that even makes me laugh out loud…couldn’t happen to “nicer” people…that was snark if you didn’t know….
April 25th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but the Wings lost, again, so I am a little out of sorts this morning…no, that’s not it…I fell off a cliff last night and the fallout is still here this morning….it looks like it’s going to be one of those days where I just endure it and try to get to the end of the day with as little damage as I can muster….slept okay but I just don’t care that I did….right now, I just don’t care about much…going to go back to the couch and watch a marathon of ‘Six Feet Under” and wallow in the depression for the morning….and hope that it stops raining so I can get on the bike…but, it’s too damn cold to do that right now…maybe that’s part of it?
It’s welfare unless it’s for the right…
Well…not sure if you’ve been following the saga of the right wing hero rancher, Cliven Bundy, who has been in the news for his theft of almost a million dollars in grazing fees on federal land which he feels he has every right to steal since he doesn’t recognize that the federal government exists. Yeah, another one of those, these self righteous grifters on the right who feel they can just ignore any law they don’t agree with if they can profit by it. But, it gets even worse…or should I say it gets more normal for the right with the comments this idiot made this morning about “Negroes” who were better off as slaves than getting subsidies like food stamps or other parts of the safety net since getting help from the government of course takes away your incentive to work and is a bad use of tax dollars. But, he has no problem with stealing a million dollars in “rancher welfare” to allow him to keep that million dollars in profit…after all, he is entitled to it since the federal government has no right to collect those fees….just like the folks at Walmart and almost every other right wing company who pay their workers too little to live on and then watch the feds make up the balance in Medicaid and food stamps while they line their pockets with yours and my tax dollars…just what ole Cliven is doing…and just what everyone on the right supports. Grifters all…geez…
