Merry-Go-Round

Ever get into one of those seemingly endless loops of behavior with somebody where you both keep doing just the wrong thing and it isn't productive towards what anybody wants? Kind of a step forward, step back thing but to different songs? I can't be the only one who finds it annoying, tedious, and just a bit boring.


Maybe if they'd legalize hand grenades......

The Little Things

Tiny donuts. They're just the right size to pop one in your mouth (well, okay MY mouth is big enough) and so tasty. Cinnamon. Powdered sugar. Mmmmmmm. There was more catching up to do than I thought today, and my clear plastic container of cinnamon mini donuts some how smoothed it out. I shared a few with friends. I had the last couple a few minutes ago. Life's little pleasures can really make a difference sometimes.


Anybody want a donut?

What'd I Miss?

So, Michael Jackson died the other day. I suppose kids around the world can breathe a collective sigh of relief. And maybe his race can send a ship to take his remains back to whatever planet he was from.

Otherwise, it seems the world didn't fall apart and tomorrow I have to go on with the usual. :-)

Please Stand By

I'll be away from the computer for about a week, so no posts for a bit. It'll give you time to sift back through all you've missed and get caught up. (chuckles)

Stupid $&#**^% Bastards

So we're trying to come up with a way to get everyone health insurance. Which is basically like trying to buy everyone a Ferrari. I don't care how you cover everyone if a cup of Jello still costs $100. The money still has to come from somewhere. Until the costs go down, none of this crap will fix it. And we seem unable to notice that most of the other civilized nations on the planet have systems that work far better than ours.


And what's the media talking endlessly about? The President swatted a fly. And the nut jobs at PETA (who kill more animals than they save) are getting all the air time they can squeeze out of it.

Stop the planet, I wanna get off.

Yuk

So the sun goes down and the street lights come on and it's 90F(32C) and the humidity is 84%. Yuk. July and August are supposed to be the hot months. So I'm not in a posty mood right now, just dripping sweat on the keyboard.

More later. (end rant)

Criminals B Stupid

So I was watching one of those shows where a camera crew ride with the police. And the bad guys would forget to breath if they were any dumber. They do stupid things in front of and to the cops and then try to deny it.

Did you not see the guy with the big camera thing on his shoulder pointing the bright light in your face? Do you not realize they have a complete video record of everything you just did? Are you really THAT stupid?

Weirdness Magnet

When I got out of the truck at the hardware store, it sounded like something was stuck in the vent of the building next door. Didn't think too much about it. The when I got to the next place I was going, I swore the truck meowed twice after I got out. Strange. Didn't do it again, even though we looked for the source. After a while it happened and we could hear it from across the street. So We look again. Nothing. I call somebody small enough to get under the thing to look, and there turns out to be a little cat hiding up between the frame and the bed box. It's not stuck, but it doesn't want out for anything. Eventually it gets removed with only one minor injury (to a person) and let loose in the bushes.

I think I must be some kind of weirdness magnet. This sort of thing doesn't just happen to normal people.

Shovelers

I've always been told that when you find yourself at the bottom of a deep hole, the first thing you should do is stop digging. Seems like some folks just can't let go of the shovel. If they did they'd have to face their predicament and their own part in it. They need to be doing something so they just keep digging and tell themselves that if they keep at it they'll end up someplace where it all makes sense, when all that really happens is the hole caves in.

Just some fun stuff to waste a little time with.

Strangers In The Night

Seems like there's been a larger than usual number of hits from all over the planet. Many of them have come from search engines looking for smores. (shrugs) Whatever makes your monkey squeak.

Brit Radio

So, lately I've been listening to British Radio (amazing thing, the internet) and it's surprising how much better it is than most of the crap around here. Okay, there was one DJ who was trying to be funny and was just annoying the crap out of me. I suppose that happens where ever there are people. It's also very easy to ignore the ads, since they're all for stuff I've never heard of and can't buy.

For You

Princess cards she sends me with her regards,
Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy
To see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile I'll stand on file
She's all I ever wanted
You let your blue walls get in the way of these facts, honey
Get your carpet baggers off my back
Girl give me time to cover my tracks
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for
Oh I came for so much more
And I know you know that too
And I know you know that's true

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you

Crawl into my ambulance
Your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all to me now
While you've got the strength to speak
'Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue
With their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now
If only you could ask
Don't call for your surgeon
Even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time
But your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back
Don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows
And I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to fight my wars
And you should know that's true
You should know that too

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you

Don't call for your surgeon
Even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time
But your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back
Don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows
And I've rammed through all your doors
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars
You should know that's true
You should know that too

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you

WTF?

Holy Crap. People post soap operas to torrent trackers? Wow.
I have no idea where to start.

Sucky Rant

I'm tired of things sucking. The economy is crap. We're still 2 wars. Large corporations are going bankrupt left and right. The Banksters walked away free. People are out of work. Those of us still working are mostly just scraping by. And on top of that, we're heading into summer, heat, and no new episodes of TV shows, so nothing to distract us from the crap.

I want a reset button.

Raining

Was just checking the weather around the world and it seems like we're all having rain about the same time. Weird. Maybe it's some kind of vast conspiracy. Hey, 20% of the people in The U.S. still think the moon landings were faked. Maybe this is some kind of weather control thing that NASA wanted to test out.

Or maybe people are just bug nuts.

:-)

Yea!

Jenna is on Facebook! I know very few of us blog anymore, but maybe FB is good for staying in touch at least some.

(happy smile)
