I have to fight Drowsenon every morning when I wake up. The demon is no joke by the way. I’m certain one of these days I won’t make it to work and get fired because Drowsenon sat on chest and to keep me from getting up to look for may cellphone (which I never use, BTW) to call my supervisor to say that I’ll be just a little late. But I won’t be late. I just won’t be going in because Fukitol (the demon that just doesn’t care), will start to kick my arse.
Doggonit. Why hasn’t that happened yet?
In 4 days and a wake up, the rest of Americans, the ones who value tradition and waited until Election Day to cast their votes, will vote for the next president of the United States of America.
I’m not excited. I probably should have pitched some kind of ad campaign for KY Jelly. It would be totally great to get little samples of the his and her jelly at the voting booths. In stead, I and every American who feels they’ll be taking it up the pooper the next 4 years will have to buy our own because nobody really cares about us.
I think I’m going to have myself a beer Election Day or something alcoholic since I won’t be getting my KY Jelly. Maybe I shouldn’t be such a pessimist. Maybe whoever gets elected will be the best president this country has ever had.
Maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe baby that be may be a baby. But May bee be a bay bee. Bee that as May maybe, be a bee in May.
Now, if what I just wrote made no sense to you, then we have something in common.
I was hoping of never writing in this subject again; however, it seems to overshadow issues I think are more important.
I still don’t know how I feel about it. If I were religious, I would have to vote on my religious principles and say gay marriage is wrong but I don’t have that foundation to stand on.
Based on the grounds that heterosexuals can marry and ruin the sanctity of marriage at will through such means as infidelity, well that seems hypocritical. I’d have more respect for traditional marriage if those who have been able to legal marry for ages respected marriage.
I honestly can’t believe something like this is an issue and I have better things to occupy my thoughts.
Anyway, I haven’t been working on my Halloween comics like I had planned. I wanted to have then ready to go and posted early Friday but it probably won’t happen. I have too many other things I want to get started.
I’m starting to plan my time for when I finish school. Did you know we are two days away from NaNoWriMo? I can’t wait to get it started though I won’t be participating until next year. I just want to let people know in case they want to try it out.
Why do people always jump straight to sex and then try to get to know each other?
Why do I have hair on my legs?
Why do I find Scottish accents sexy?
Is it possible to get an education without the stress?
When I was in Afghanistan, I read a book called Fast Food Nation. The book is about the fast-food industry and animal farming. Pretty interesting book. Anyway, my opinion of Prop 2 is colored because of the book.
Basically animal farming evolved into what it is today because animal farmers wanted to make huge profits. Don’t you love greed? If the book rings true, then animals are kept in really bad conditions. I’m almost certain I’d become a vegetarian if I actually visited one of those animal farms.
I mentioned how I think I would change my vote from Yay to Nay on Prop 2 because of the tax issue, but I think I’m going to stick with a big fat YES. I’m voting on my principles and my gut tells me the arguments against Prop 2 aren’t solid enough. For example, opposition argues chickens will be exposed to avian flu because Prop 2 would require chicken farmers to allow the birds to roam out in the open; however, that doesn’t seem feasible for chicken farmers with thousands of chickens. Let thousands of chickens out of the mega hen house, just to round them back up at the end of the day. You know how fast chickens are and how unproductive that is?
I’m much more concerned about chickens pecking at each other’s poo than catching avian flu. I mean, how healthy are chickens that feast on poop? Can chickens get salmonella from eating chicken poo?
Anyways. I’ll be eating organic in the future.
Speaking of chicken, I saw the most beautiful chicken on some documentary on one of those channels like National Geographic or Discovery. It was a breed from China, and it had the most white, soft-looking feathers that grew down the legs almost to the feet. It was so meal worthy I started salivating. Not like the chickens I’m used to seeing where the feathers stop growing when you get to the scales.
My skin has really been itching a lot lately. I think I’m developing eczema. Or Valley Fever is starting to ge tme. Skin rashes are just one of the many symptoms.
I haven’t been watching Dancing with the Stars. I want to learn to ballroom dance. I think I finally have an excuse to get myself a boyfriend.
Okay, Heroes is really starting to piss me off. I know the powers of every character on the show. I can’t believe how the characters are being written. Peter no longer has any of his powers. What I don’t get is how he was killed in the future? I mean Peter’s been in the presence of Claire who can heal herself, which means Peter can heal himself.
And if Peter has been around Mike, then Peter should have known he father was going to take away his powers.
They just killed Peter! Oh, wait. Not they didn’t. Peter is still alive for some reason. I wonder if Claire’s blood can help Peter. Her blood helped her father. Claire’s blood also restored Sylar’s abilities.
Great. I have to wait another two weeks before a new episode of Heroes.
Enough about tv. I’ve got my voter information guide and boy is it thick. I’ll be reading over it tomorrow night.
I need to get some sleep.
Only 66 days left in 2008 and less that two weeks before I cast my vote for anyone but Obama and McCain. I’m voting based on my principles. No new taxes because I can’t afford them. I may have to rethink my position on Prop 2.
I don’t have anything to blog about. I didn’t finish my paper today but there’s very little I have to do tomorrow. I’m way over my word count for like the first time in history.
I think I asked a question of a friend that I didn’t want to know. I told him I would send him whatever he needed no matter where he was. So, he emailed me Saturday and asked me if I could buy him some facial cleanser. I thought it was weird that he asked me considering he’s engaged but I said I would because he is in a crappy place. It turns out his facial cleanser costs $35 for an 8 oz. tube of cleanser. WTF! Anyway, I thought if I asked him why he didn’t get his fiancee to get it for him, he tells me it’s because he broke up with her. Yip, when he got back from Afghanistan last year, things didn’t work out with them living together in a house he just bought and furnished. He said he gave her the world and she didn’t seem to appreciate it. He sucks when it come it comes to women.
So, he announced his singleness and asked me if I was on the market. Whoa, buddy! He’s way to high maintenance for me. Did I mention how much his facial cleanser costs?
Plus, he shaves his legs and wears Victoria Secret’s lotion.
Not exactly my time, but a really nice guy.
So, I have to watch the news to see why it’s important for Latinos to get out and vote. I hope it has nothing to do with immigration.
Anyways, I’m tired and I need to get up at the crack of dawn so I can finish my paper and get it turned it before the sun goes down.
I haven’t done much of anything with my paper today, which means I’ll be working on it tomorrow and Monday. Saturday will be my free day to unwind.
I do have some good news. I wrote to my instructor from my previous course about the grade I received on an assignment and he reevaluated my assignment and concluded I had not received the appropriate grade.
I’m still having a heated discussion with my instructor over the Bailout. His stance is we desperately need it and my stance is, we need it but it won’t change anything if the issues that caused the problems aren’t addressed. Plus, the government can’t bailout the financial industry with money it doesn’t have so no matter what happens, we are going to be in the exact same position whether there is a bailout or not.
If American’s can’t handle the amount of debt they’ve living with, the government won’t be able to handle it either.
I think it’s interesting how people don’t see the significant increases in our taxes that will happen regardless of which presidential candidate is elected. How else is a government that’s deeply in debt going to pay for a bailout? How is the government going to get out of debt to begin with?
Everybody, including the government, is going to have to cut spending.
So, was doing some research on some of the propositions on the ballot for California. I’m very uncertain about most of the propositions as they all claim to increase taxes by billions of dollars over the next 30 years. I’m not comfortable with raising state taxes as I feel like the bailout will result in significant increases in federal taxes. I want to keep more of my money, not less. Why aren’t we trying to cut costs in other places?
I also noticed something about the sample ballot that really ticks me off. How is it that people who are supposedly citizens of the U.S. can’t read English? Why are ballots being printed in other languages?
Then on top of the option for multilingual election materials, I came across the statement of George M. Lane, (the Candidate for Member, Board of Directors, Division 4) in both English and Spanish. I don’t think I’ll be voting for Lane.
American citizens should be able to read the Constitution in the language it was written in and vote using ballots written in English. Don’t get me wrong, I think American’s should learn a second language, but I’m against American citizens modifying American life to accommodate people who are supposed to want to be Americans. I wouldn’t immigrate to another country and become a citizen without learning to speak the language majority of the people in that country speak. I also wouldn’t expect my new country to print voting literature in any other language but what majority of the citizens speak.
I don’t get it. I don’t get it to the point where I won’t vote for people who believe Americans should cater to people who obviously don’t want to be American.
I’ve been reading the sample ballot that came in the mail a few weeks ago. Very interesting. I’ve decided under no circumstances will I cast my vote for anyone who voted for the bailout. This leaves the two front runners, Obama and McCain out of luck for getting my vote.
I’m taking a serious look at the third party candidates. Tonight, I got to watch the Third Party Debate on C-Span 2. If it weren’t for me stumbling across the time and channel for it on Bob Barr’s blog, I would never have been able to check out two of the other candidates. Tonight, I got to check out Ralph Nadar and Chuck Baldwin.
On the California sample ballot, the candidates for president are:
Bob Barr, for President (Libertarian)
Wayne A. Root, for VP
John McCain, for President (Republican)
Sarah Palin, for VP
Cynthia McKinney, for President (Green)
Rosa Clemente, for VP
Alan Keyes, for President (American Independent)
Wiley S. Drake, Sr., for VP
Ralph Nader, for President (Peace and Freedom)
Matt Gonzalez, for VP
Barack Obama, for President (Democrat)
Joe Biden, for VP
Unfortunately, the only third party candidate that showed for the Third Party Debate on the California ballot was Ralph Nadar. Barr, McKinney, and Keyes were no shows for whatever reasons. As you can see, Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party) is not on the California ballot, which is tragic because I preferred his solutions over Nadar’s in the debate, though Nadar and Baldwin were similar in their solutions for some of the issues facing America.
Nadar seems to be very anti-Israel and pro-Islam, which to me is a huge NO GO. I’d rather live in a world dominated by Christians and Jews than one dominated my Muslims. I only live by American law, not sharia. Nadar also called for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq in six months. Holy smokes! Way too fast.
Chuck Baldwin believes in limiting government and governing the country under the instructions already provided by the Constitution. You can’t beat that. He is also against the bailout (a hugh plus) and a timely, reasonable, and safe withdrawal of troops from Iraq. That’s not going to happen soon. We’ll be there for many decades. He also believes we should hold the U.N. accountable for policing the world. Good luck with that. The U.S. is the U.N. That’s like policing ourselves. In the end, it doesn’t matter what Baldwin is for because he’s not even on the California ballot.
I will never again vote for the lessor of two evils because no matter what, evil is evil. Some people view voting for a third party as wasting a vote, but I don’t think so. The only vote that’s wasted, is the vote that is never cast. So, I’m embarking on new territory. I know the candidate I vote for won’t win; however, I have 4 more years to blog my heart out about third parties and how we need to break from the two-party system.
I was looking through my sample ballot and trying to decide how I will vote. So far, I only know how I will vote on three of the propositions and the rest I’m uncertain.
I don’t know what to think about Prop 8. For example, I don’t see a difference between civil unions and traditional marriage. In my opinion, if it looks like a marriage and functions like a marriage, then isn’t it a marriage? And what’s the big deal if it’s called marriage as opposed to civil unions?
If I had kids, I wouldn’t want to expose them to gay marriage in the same way I don’t want to expose them to unwedded motherhood. I have definite and strong feelings about out-of-wedlock births.
I’ll probably just skip this prop when I vote. I would have liked to see other propositions on the ballot like preventing illegal immigration via denial of government services that should only be reserved for citizens and legal residents.
Enough about voting and such. I’ve been dealing with headaches off and on all day. The first time I got the headache was when I ate my pre-lunch and then it went away. Then it came back when I ate my lunch. The headache went away and came back again when I ate dinner tonight. I hate the way I feel after I eat.
I hope this doesn’t mean I’ll develop an aversion to food. I really like to eat but not if it makes me feel like this. I hate feeling yucky and headachy.
I hope I’ll be able to blog more about voting this weekend as there is less than two weeks before I cast my vote.
There’s been a whole lot of talk about Joe the Plumber, especially during the last presidential debate. Who the heck is Joe the Plumber? Is he real? Does he feel like he’s getting screwed?
I don’t know about Joe, but I feel like I am. I don’t look forward to November 4th at all. I envy those who are certain of who they will vote for.
It’s so hard to choose. I don’t want to vote for McCain or Obama but I know voting for any of the other candidates (does anybody know who they are?) means, well it means I’m still screwed.
Oh, how complicated voting has become.
I’m still bummed about that A- I got in my last class. Only three more to go.
TV is so boring. I can’t believe I stayed up but I really like Eli Stone and there’s a new episode tonight. Nigel Barker is on Privileged. He is so dang hot. I’d love for him to point his camera at me. Yeah, baby.
I think I want to read the book the show Privilege is based on. I can’t remember the name and all, but I did see something in the credits of that show about a book. I’ll probably never get around to reading it.
Too bad Nigel isn’t running for president. I don’t even think he’s American.
OM Gosh! I saw this totally hot Polish guy a the place I used to work at. I tried my hardest to ignore him because I didn’t want to get that I-want-to-spend-some-time-with-myself-thinking-about-him moment. Those moments suck, by the way. Luckily, I avoided it. All I had to do was make myself something to eat.
Now, I understand why people gain weight so quickly.
Good night.
OMG! I’m watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I just saw Brian Austin Green without his shirt on.
I’ve been reading some stuff over the Internet about the possibility of Terminator having poor ratings. I have to wait another two weeks before I see any new episodes of Terminator.
Whatever happened to seeing new episodes every week? What’s with the extended breaks.
Dang, Mohinder is a sexy crazy dude now. Like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. Only sexy.
Peter is sexy, too. But I think he’s because he has all those powers. I completely lost that Mo’ Betta feeling after his powers were sucked out of him.
If I have a son, I’m going to name him Peter.
Playskol has a dream town collection. I totally wish I had had something safe like that as a kid. My kitchen stuff was made of metal and would pinch my fingers.
I really don’t have anything to blog about. I tried to refrain from turning on my computer but I couldn’t resist. I think I’m addicted which is not a good thing. When I finish school, I plan to see help with my addiction to being on the computer. It would help if they didn’t design such wonderfully good programs to use. Computers and all the cool programs that come with them totally suck.
I was watching Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel and discovered some restaurants I’d like to try if I ever make it to Phuket, Thailand.
The first stop is Mor Mu Dong Restaurant. There’s something about fresh seafood I really, really like. I would especially like to try the stuffed mackerel. I love mackerel.
I noticed the places I want to travel to are places with very flavorful food. I don’t know if it was just the food that was served in the dining facilities at ISAF, but if that is what Europeans think is good, then I’ll take a pass on Europe. I want to go where the food is good.
I got the new template installed on my blog at shavonne.org. I really like it. I just wish I had more time to fiddle with it. It’s not exactly the way I want it but it will have to do until I’m out of school. I had to email the designer of the template because some features of my blog aren’t working. I had to change some of the file names when I was uploading them to my web hosting service because the file names had multiple periods.
I loaded up some pictures at shavonne.org. You will have to go to Day 241 to see the pictures. I’m actually really tired because I spend several hours uploading WordPress files into my database only to delete them all to reinstall WordPress into a new database. Then it took a couple more hours to upload the files for my new template. I think I’ll be going to bed early tonight or at least after Desperate Housewives.
I finished my homework this weekend rather early. I was actually surprised at how easy it was. My teammates still are trying to complete their sections. I think two of them work on the weekends, which totally sucks.
I thought I had gained some weight because I feel so bloated all over. I think it’s just water retention.
I watched part of the seventh season of Buffy. I think it was my least favorite season but the series finale was the best I had seen for any show. I wonder if the last episode of Buffy will win an Emmy for best series finale. Did I mention it won for one of TV’s Most Memorable Moments? Well, it did.
Well, let be get a load of laundry done and some shut eye.
I spent almost an hour on the phone with technical support trying to figure out why I kept being redirected to another website when I tried to go to class. I hate calling tech support.
I don’t have much to blog about. I will be spending the next few hours upgrading Wordpress and then I will attempt to go to sleep. I slept most of the day for some reason. I think it’s because I’m really starting to hate school.
There is absolutely nothing on tv on the weekends. I think I’m going to watch some Buffy for a few hours while I upload those Wordpress files. Yeah. I best be getting to uploading so I can be finished and hopefully install that new blog template I’ve had my eyes on for the past week. Maybe I’ll even get to upload some video. I’m going to really like the new template. It will be a welcomed change for the New Year.
Speaking of blogging next year, I won’t be blogging everyday like have been this year. I plan to start writing commentaries or something and I’ll be posting more photography and podcasts.
Let me go and do my thing.
I have no idea what I want to write about. I just finished watching Eli Stone. It’s another ABC show and I really like it. Tonight’s episode was interesting. Jordan, the senior partner of whatever law firm Eli Stone works at, had a meeting with a mortgage lender. From what I could gather, the mortgage lender had some rather unethical practices. I was only able to discern the unethical practices because of the comment the president said:
“Nobody put a gun to anyone’s head. What? It never occurred to them it wasn’t the smartest idea to buy a house completely on credit. It’s not our job to protect them from their own stupidity.” -Pond Scum, Eli Stone.
Interesting you think? I don’t think I would have used ‘credit’ in those lines but I personally think the lenders and consumers were both to blame for this mortgage mess. If people don’t have the common sense to see if they can afford the loan, then the lenders should never have approved the loans.
I think I’m going to go to bed. My eyes hurt and I have to get up early to get my paper finished. I also need to get the latest copy Wordpress installed on shavonne.org so that I can download that template I want.
I just had to watch 17 Kids and Counting about the Duggers on Discovery Health because the family is expecting the 18th baby and the oldest Duggar kid is engaged! Josh and his fiancee are talking about saving their first kiss for the wedding day. Wow. I’m not mocking but dang. Wow. It’s actually admirable. I love watching this family.
“Boys try to find someone like their mom. And girls try to find someone like their dad.” - Josiah(?)
My butt hurts. And I’m not saying this because I just finished watching the last presidential debate. Of course my butt spasms didn’t start until I turned on the tv to watch the debate, so maybe my body’s telling me something.
My butt really hurts.
In all honesty, I think Obama won the debate. He’s a really good speaker and was good at taking the mud McCain kept slinging and turning it back to the debate. I was extremely disappointed with McCain. In didn’t see maturity in a man his age. He practically went to high school with Christ!
I’m not reassured in Obama’s ability to lead the country. I feel the same way about McCain.
I can’t wait until the news. I watched the analysis on the debate. I think they were right on. I don’t think McCain will gain ground.
I need to go to bed. I just finished a heated debate in school over the whole bailout issue. There are a lot of people all cracked out over the bailout and don’t see it for what it really is - the beginning of the end.
American cannot afford a war in Iraq, Afghanistan (and possible Iran or Pakistan) and a bailout. The government sets a really bad example of how American’s aren’t suppose to handle their finances. Kind of reminds me of the only episode of Everybody Hates Chris where Chris’s mom takes the money that’s supposed to pay the light bill and uses it to buy a new couch. Okay, I’m not exactly sure what bill it was or what she actually bought, but the point is instead of paying off the bill like her husband wanted her to, she spent it on something the family didn’t need. Then she said something along the lines of “I’m handling the family finances the way Reagan handles the deficit.” That might not have been exactly what she said, bit it’s darn close. I’m not 20 anymore. I’m 22ish danggit!
And my butt still hurts!
Okay, so I called in and left a message that I wasn’t going in to work. That’s something very rare for me but it’s a free day and I love not going to work.
I got up entirely too early this morning. For a call in sick day, I should have stayed in bed until at least 8:30. I think I’m still a little bugged out that I can’t get to my blog.
I’ve been thinking about how much I spend on blogging. Hobbies can get really expensive. I wrote yesterday that I won’t be using Mobile Me for my blog. There’s just too many features iWeb and Mobile have that I really, really want. Like the ability to block trolls and trolletes, which I don’t get much of because I don’t spend much time reading other people’s blogs.
Speaking of reading. There are so many books I want to read. I can’t keep track of them. Oh, how I wish I was finished with school already.
Back to blogging. I found a template I really, really like. It gives me the ability to display my photography and it has a nice and polished look. More grown up. The only problem is, I have to pay $79 for the template, which is why I said blogging can get expensive. I also want to purchase some clip art so on days when I don’t have my own photography to use in a post, I can at least make an interesting comic like I’ve been doing. Come on February!
I’ve been blogging about voting and how much it’s going to hurt and how I’m going to ensure I have some lubricant available for when which ever candidate wins tries to give it to me up the pooper. I don’t think I’ll ever get to writing that post on what issues I think are important. Every time I think about it, I get a headache. At least my @ss doesn’t hurt. Yet.
Okay. I decided to give a brief synopsis of what I’m for and against.
I’ve decided I will not host my blog using Mobile Me. I’m also going to look into another web hosting service because whenever I try to upgrade something I end up losing the content for my blog. It’s a good thing I archive at my blogger blog because I don’t think I can handle going through this again.
I eventually finished my two assignments at around 2 p.m. today. However, I was unable to post my assignments because I couldn’t log in to class. I eventually was able to get in and post them. It feels good to be done.
I got a sneak peak at my course work for my next course. It seems pretty difficult. I’m pretty much kicking myself in the ass for overlapping my courses. I’m just class I didn’t double up. The good thing is my RDO is on the weeks when my courses overlap.
I got my sample ballot in the mail and I’m doing my research over some of the measures.
I just checked out the 2010 Mustangs. I just love that car. It doesn’t get good gas mileage. It will be a very, very long time before I get one of those. I’m looking to do without a car.
I just watched a KY jelly commercial. I noticed the Yours and Mine are in a blue and a red bottle. I know you know where I’m going with this.
I think it’s a sign. A sign that says no matter which presidential candidate you vote for, you’ll be needing your KY jelly. I mean, Ky Jelly comes in Democratic and Republican formulas blue and red bottles.
I still haven’t finished my paper. I thought I would have been finished by now, but there’s so much to supply chains. I realize, I don’t care much for business school. Three more classes. 17 more weeks.
I watched 60 minutes today. An Army buddy shot the video on the Sadr city piece. He did a good job.
Apparently, people liked Life on Mars. I don’t get it.
Oh, there is going to be a news story on Desk Rage tonight. People are starting to lose it at work. I know exactly what they mean. I feel that way sometimes. I think when you get to a point where you want to throw you co-worker across the room, you have a problem and should get help or find another job. Or maybe throwing your coworker across the room is the help you need.
Okay, I’m half-way done with my paper. I’m hoping to be finished with it by tomorrow night. I can do it. I know I can.
I have about 7 more papers like this to go and I’ll be done forever.
I’m so hungry. I didn’t eat much today.
I went to Winco’s and noticed an usual number of young folk.
I have no idea what I want to write about.
I plan on making some mushroom burgers tomorrow. I hope they are good. I got the recipe from Emeril Green. I didn’t get the portobello mushrooms because they looked a little rancid so I got some other kind of really big mushroom. I don’t think there will be much of a difference in taste, at least there won’t me much to me because I think all mushrooms taste the same.
I discovered lactose-free cheese. I didn’t get any but I totally plan on buying some next time. I think there is still a little dairy in the cheese.
That’s it for tonight.
I don’t have much to blog about. I have a short weekend and a long paper to write. My goal is to get five pages done tomorrow and the last five pages done on Sunday.
About Life on Mars. I don’t really get the show. I’m not sure what the significance of 1973 is so I guess that’s what has me so puzzled. I thought by the end of the episode, he would be back in 2008 since he solved the original murder. The only thing I could gather about the show so far is, he managed to change the kid’s perception which is why Maya supposedly lived. I don’t think this is a show I’ll be watching in the future. So far, it’s worse than Brothers and Sisters.
Well, I’m going to go to bed so I can get up early to start on this paper. I would like to be able to have Monday to relax. I love my holidays and any day I don’t spend at Thumb Twiddle.
I woke up feeling a little like crap today. It eventually passed but only after several trips to the bathroom.
I know, that’s just a little too much information but I have to tell someone since my dad is living in a different time zone and my mother refuses to listen at all.
I can’t wait until the series premier of Life on Mars. Another potential show to spec for. I will be watching so much tv when I finish school.
There was something I wanted to write about but I can’t remember it.
Well, Ugly Betty was interesting tonight. It turns out Alexis is Daniel Jr.’s father and not Daniel. Holy smokes! That’s interesting. A tranny is a father. Ha! I wonder if Rebecca Romijn is leaving the show?
I had some Mexican food that was awfully bland. I didn’t think something with cilantro sauce and guacamole could have so little flavor. Like, what the heck happened?
I’ve been thinking about my life and want I want to do with it when I finally grow up. I don’t want to work. I want my money to work for me. That’s pretty much the only thing I’m sure of. I’m not sure of how to make that happen but I think it’s possible.
Now for exciting news, escrow closes on that house I bought in Michigan. After closing costs and taxes from now until the end of June, the house cost a little over $2,000. Not bad for a duplex. I can write the taxes off when I file next year. Yes! If I can get some repairs in before the New Year that’s an even bigger write off. Oh yeah, I love my tax breaks. I’m going to need every tax break I can get since I and every tax paying citizen of the U.S. will be footing the bill for that $830 billion bailout. I’m still bitter by the way as every American should be.
I really want to chop some heads off.
Or torture somebody.
I think I’m horny. I mean, lately the young bucks at work are looking especially scrumptious. I almost wanted to give one of them a hug after I saw him in his workout clothes with his manly nipples erect and poking through his shirt. I have this thing for man nipples. Sue me. Everybody’s got some kind of fetish. Mine are man nipples.
It’s all Matthew McConaughey’s fault. Every summer he walks around the beach with his man nipples exposed to be photographed for the whole world to see in People’s magazine. Darn that baby daddy!!! He needs to put those things away. Man nipples are foul on a baby daddy.
Yes, there’s nothing like losing money in any savings account that makes you want to jump off a cliff. Actually, it makes me want to throw people off of a cliff. Money is an issue I can understand someone becoming homicidal over.
There was talk today about retirements and 401K accounts. I don’t want to look at my 401K with Fidelity. I know it’s lost a lot of money. Last time I looked, it last 25% of its value since the beginning of this year. Given Fidelity’s letter to investors, I plan to move what little money I may have left to another institution. I don’t trust Fidelity.
I don’t think there’s much to worry about. The Bailout Plan makes me sick to my stomach because I know no matter which presidential candidate gets in the oval office, taxes will go up. That’s inevitable.
I definitely need to find a new job where I’m making more money. Make as much money as you can while you can, right?
I wish I had something else to blog about. School sucks. It really does. Every class I take is a combination of all the bad things about the previous classes I took. I can imagine by the time I finish with my last class, I will probably have a couple of grey hairs on my head.
I hope next year is better. I hope everything works out.
I watched part of the presidential debate tonight. I still going to take some KY jelly with me to the polls when I go and vote. I wish they would just let me know how’s going to give it to me up the pooper much harder so that I can medicate myself before it happens.
Yes, I just did compare voting to what I imagine taking it in the back door must feel like.
Why do they always say a Disney movie will never be available again? We all know it’s not true. They should really say it will be another 10 years before it will be released again. I’m not into the old flicks anyway, though I do own Bambi. I haven’t watched it and I suspect eventually I will have to upgrade my DVD to Blue-Ray or HD. Dang, dang, dang. There is a reason why I should just go completely digital.
I better get some sleep so I can get to bed. I have to get some major sleep tonight so I can stay awake at work. Plus, I have to drive tomorrow.
Time for an all new Terminator. I think this season is going to be really good. For some reason, I don’t think the red head is out to kill John. I think she wants to wipe out all of the bad terminators.
Later will be my other can’t-live-without show. Heroes. I love my sci-fi.
I start class #3 tomorrow, because I want to get this school stuff out of the way. How to people drag this out for decades?
I mentioned to someone at Thumb Twiddle how I’m going to do a life makeover. I’m going to physically and mentally change my life. One step at a time though.
When I was in basic training, I had the biggest crush on my drill sergeant. I would do almost anything to get him to yell at me. Anything to get his attention. I think he caught on to it because he started ignoring me.
What is it the red head wants? I can’t figure it out. Is she good or bad or in between?
Crap. I have to wait two weeks before the new Terminator episode.
How did Claire kill Peter when Peter has Claire’s power?
Well, I’m going to stop blogging so I can finish watching Heroes and then go to bed.
The Knight Rider has returned and Kit is a black Mustang but without a stripe. Bummer.
I was watching Discovery Health about a little Egyptian girl born with two heads. The second head was actually a parasitic twin with a full head (and functional brain) but no body. What was interesting about the head is it could blink its eyes, cry, and suckle.
Then I watch another documentary about an Indonesia man named Dede infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV). He also has TB and Hepatitis B. The warts grew all over his body and covered his hands and feet to the point where they looked like tree roots. The Indonesian government didn’t have an interest in the man’s warts until an American doctor offered to give him help.
Neither medical case is Grey’s Anatomy drama worthy. Bummer.
I did get the chance to watch Annie. I absolutely love the movie! I just love how they just start dancing and singing out of the blue. I’ve been meaning to try this at work-bursting in song and dance. I’m going to have to get this movie on dvd one of these days.
How can people listen to the same song over and over again? Someone in the neighborhood has put Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” on repeat and I’m now finishing the fifth and hopefully last time I hear this song tonight. So far so good. I’m now listening to “Billy Jean.” They’re turning it up. Danggit. Now it’s like the song is playing in my room. It got turned down. (Thank you.)
I really don’t like listening to other people’s music. For example, I was cruising the blogosphere and came across a blog. I immediately left the blog when the music embedded in the blog started playing. Hey people, I have my own playlist I like to listen to when I’m surfing the net. I don’t want to hear yours.
I almost bought a John Denver box set at Wal-mart today. I can’t get that song out my head - “Sunlight on My Shoulders.” Maybe I’ll go back and get it. I’m trying to save money so it won’t happen until next year.
I read an interesting article on China’s colonization of Africa. Interesting read as I have said before that China will be America’s biggest rival for the world’s resources in the coming years.
For some reason, Joss Whedon’s Firefly comes to mind when I think of the Chinese and American dominance of the world. I wonder which will be the most dominant? American exports it’s culture via music, movies, and television; however, China is exporting it’s culture by exporting its people.
I watched part of the Vice Presidential debate. I honestly don’t want to vote for either Obama or McCain. I’m not for invading Pakistan (Obama’s plan) when things have not come to an end in Iraq or Afghanistan and I have never been in favor of Iraq and want to see that chapter closed as soon as possible. I don’t think democracy will ever prevail in any Muslim country because Islam is not compatible with democracy.
The Bailout Plan isn’t set in stone. I don’t know what this will mean if it does or doesn’t pass. I’m still not in support of it now that it’s been revised with an additional $130 billion dollars tacked onto the $700 billion tax payers will be paying. Thanks to all those greedy money grubbing CEOs. I really appreciate how those CEOs are millionaires while the rest of us will have to pay for their greed.
I’m so not in the mode for blogging right now. I think I’m going to try to find the biggest bottle of KY jelly so that when it comes time to take it up the pooper from which ever presidential candidate wins, I’ll have some lubricant.
I was able to get into school tonight but I had problems accessing the e-book to do my readings. I had to print the chapters I need to read for the week directly from the Internet, which leaves me without page numbers. I need those page numbers for my citations.
I think I’m going to call it a night. I’m tired and I want to get some reading done before I go to bed.
I watched Private Practice tonight. The theme in the show was people keeping secrets. A very interesting episode. I wish I had the energy to blog about it tonight but I need to get some sleep.
Maybe I’ll blog about it tomorrow.
