Well Today Seems Like A Good Day!!

I know I know how can anyone know at 3:20 in the morning it is going to be a good day. I feel that way.  I am well rested.  My leg feels pretty good, so perhaps a run in today.  Maybe this morning before work.  :)  I had a feeling this morning that which was missing is here now.  Trust.  What I said previously... the quid pro quo.  Not all trusted, but now they do.  I also had a feeling all is done.  The die is cast... is that the saying??  It seems right, but what the heck does that mean??  The die is cast??  well whatever.  Hope you know what I mean.

Anyway, yesterday I had a pretty productive day outside of work.  Work was work.  I always have more to do than I can possibly get done.  I can also get side-tracked too.  I see stuff I want to fix all the time, but I cannot do it all.  If only everyone was as good as me.  :)   lol  j/k.  :)

After work, I was going to bag up the leaves in the backyard with the lawnmower.  I couldn't get the sucker started.  That sucked.  I swept up the leaves that were on the patio, and brought them to the front.  The city picks up our leaves.  We still have a lot to fall, because, well, it is fall.  That is how it works you see.  :)  More outside time.  Lisa and I cleaned the garage after.  Our garage was a cluster fuck as anyone who has seen it can tell you.  We can now fit the car in the garage.  It is a one stall. 

After we did that I made dinner, and prepped tonight's dinner.  A pot roast in the crock pot.  That means I don't have a damn thing to do today.  Woo Hoo!!  The weather is nice out, so I'd rather do outside stuff, instead of inside stuff.  Inside stuff to me is reading and watching movies.  I want to see Mulan sometime, but will probably wait for a crappy day outside.

I guess if you have a day where you feel ahead of schedule it is a good day.  Students probably never feel that way, but we all do what we can.  Today I am ahead of schedule in my mind, and I am going to enjoy that.  Today is a day I think will be fun.

On that note I am going to go for a run.  Hope the leg is good....after.  That is where I have been having problems.

That is it for today!!!  :)

p.s.  chair cushions made out of porcupine skin should never be invented.

now for really really cya cya cya!!!   :)

p.p.s.  What the hell was I thinking???  I don't have time to run, I have to be at work in an hour and 20 minutes.  Daylight savings has screwed you all up.  :)

Celebrate Celebrate!!

That is what I do.  I celebrate my days as if they were my last.  I have my reasons.  I work,  I get some stuff done around the house usually.  I will run if my leg lets me.  Not sure about today, and just have fun. 

I will just give you a day in the life...yesterday.  I woke up, and I thought I would read, run, and laundry and stuff.  I did none of the above.  When I first walked up the stairs I realized my leg hurt a bit.  Running off, probably running off today too... now that I think of it.  Anyway I putzed around online, did my blog thing, Twitter, etc....  I then took a shower, and took a nap.  I have been enjoying my sleep lately.  :)

I decided to go grocery shopping.  I am the best at it, way better than Lisa.  I get deals, and I usually can get stuff for the whole week +.  Not real exciting, but I did get 10 steaks for a total of .41 cents.  They priced it wrong, and the dude gave it to me.  He asked if I saw it.  "I said yes"   :)   Woo Hoo!!

I put the groceries away, and cleaned the kitchen.  I felt like filling up my growler, so I went to New Holland, had a few beers.  Beau and Charity met up with me later, and we hung for an hour or two.  It was fun.  We are going to go on a brewery tour next weekend.  Should be fun.  I am excited.  I then came home and made dinner, and listened to my new favorite song of the short term period.  That Katy Perry song.  I like a song pretty quickly, listen to it a gazillion times, and then get sick of it.  This song has another day or two max.  :)

That is it.  Dinner was good, I had fun, and then I went to bed. 

I see the Jets won... WOAH!!  When I left I thought they were going to lose.  Congrats to any who might be Jets fans.  :)

That is it for today!!!   :)

I Know I Know What the heck???

I really have skipped a lot of blogging days for me.  What the heck??  No reason really.  I overslept one day, and yesterday I really didn't feel like blogging, although I kind of did anyway to a friend.  A friend who her and I have been on a bumpy ride, but now I feel we are like sister and brother.  So really thankful for that.  Another one I think we already cleared the air.  I think maybe at times she is like me too... insecure at times, and needs to hear some things from me once in a while.  So on that side I am pretty happy.

Hold on gotta get some coffee. 

So let me say about that again and again.  I am very thankful for both them.  It wasn't pretty all the time, that is for sure, but we were honest with each other for the most part.  We were ugly to each other at times, but now we.... in my mind.... are like family.   I cannot express how thankful I am for that.  :)

The thing with me skipping blogging is I always have so much to write the next time.  DOH!!!  :)   My friend from work Brian came over and taught Lisa how to use a router.  She wants to make kitchen cabinet doors sometime.  :)  I don't!!   that is fo sho!!

I am going to tell you a bit about Brian.  He is sleeping on the couch right now.... He drank a lot.  I did too I guess, but I fall asleep early, especially when I don't eat a lot... like yesterday.  We hang out like maybe once every couple months or so.... maybe even less.  He has a rough exterior.  He gets angry pretty quickly, but once you get past that he is a real guy.  When we hang out we always seem to hit the real life stuff.  Childhood stuff, hard things that happened in our life.  Things in our life that shaped us for better or worse.  So he is real like that, and I guess I am too.  It is probably why we get along.  One thing he told me unknowingly is people REMEMBER the few times I get mad.  I do get mad, but usually I don't very often.  If I am in a bad mood, I typically keep it to myself.  If I do get mad, and my anger explodes people do remember.  :)  One of my friends Jason remembers when I went off on him like 10 years ago.  He still teases me about that.  Only time I went off on him.  :)

I went on a bit of a run yesterday.  I didn't map it out, but I have a feeling it was like 2.4 miles.. maybe less in 21 minutes.  My lungs burned like I was out of shape.  :)    My leg hurts a bit today too, so that probably means no 5K on Thanksgiving.  That also tells me something else, but I don't think I will say that. 

A lot of you trust me.  Some of you don't.  You'll have to.  Hiding is not security.  Hiding is fear.  Hiding is not strength.  Taking a step is scary, but it is brave.  Some of you who hide hold others back.  This all works together, not apart.  Remember my blog is the wait.  You know my steps I have gone through from childhood on.  Last February my blog switched from the Journey to the Wait.  I am not waiting for me.  ya see.  :)

That is it for today!!!   :)

Got A Bit Of A Run In

I think it went o.k.  It was 3.13 @ 8:43  I think.  Maybe 8:38 I forget.  My leg I think is o.k.  I feel something a bit in my right leg, but now I don't even remember if that was the bad leg or not.  Definitely doing better.  I will not run today, but maybe run long with Jim and Jerry this weekend.  I don't know, I get the feeling Jerry is a check the e-mail very rarely kind of guy, so hope he remembers to e-mail me when they run.  I should probably take some aspirin, but I always forget.  I rarely rarely ever take any pills of any kind.  lucky in that way I guess. 

So I have some thoughts I was thinking of.  Talking to people at work, and stuff.  day to day stuff.  You may or may not know, but Karl Marx had a vision of where pure unadulterated capitalism leads.  The uprising of the masses, although the holders of capital will fight tooth and nail.  Now here is my thought on this.  Capital will always seek cheaper and cheaper labor.  Right now we find this in China.  Contrary to popular belief capital does not do this to make a better life for the cheap labor.  They do it for one thing and one thing only.  To increase capital.  In his books you can interchange capital for money.  Basically the same thing.  Oh and btw, it is a hard read.  I never finished, but I get the gist.  Now if I am correct China is the last cheap labor force.  From what I understand.  We have done South Korea, Japan, Taiwan.  I guess we still use Mexico.  People will eventually get sick of working 13 hour days for basically nothing.  I mean the Germans did that crap to the Jews in WWII.  It is called slave labor.  The holders of capital have dug their own grave so to speak.  The answer isn't unions or anything like that.  The answer is decency.  The holders of capital are more interested in increasing capital, as opposed to improving the human condition. 

Every once in a while a Bill Gates comes along, but very rarely.  Even Warren Buffet wanted the $700 Billion for the bankers.  He was scared.  His life's work he realized was about the accumulation of money.  He realized how fragile that was.  You see he had a good vision as far as investing, but he did not take into consideration the slow evolutionary process of History. 

People will always seek better and better things for their life.  People want their life to be fulfilling, and fun.  They want challenges.  They want to be creative, and do all kinds of fun things.  Those who try to enslave the human spirit will not win in the long run.  It is a losing battle. 

Keep your chin up.  A Diamond does not come about easily.  :)


That is it for today!!!!  :)

This Is Going To Be The Worst Blog Entry Ever!!

I know it!!

Holy SHEESH!!  I have nothing to write, I don't think.  I don't even know what to start with.  So let's start with the day.  It was voting day.  I didn't vote.  I was under a bit of peer pressure to vote too, but still didn't.  People smarter than me voted, and tried to get me to vote, but I still didn't.  Maybe voting would be more interesting if there weren't polls.  In West Michigan only Republicans get elected.  The white Dutch person is a conservative religious right dude in most cases.  That is how our area has voted forever.  Don't worry a string of Right Wing Presidents got us into the first Depression, and now has us in another doozy.  Our Economy is pumped with fake money right now.  I think it went to the wrong places.  Pump money into the economy for jobs, not to banks who don't lend.  I haven't looked to see who still sits on TARP money, but I know 4 banks basically have a monopoly.  Anti-trust enforcement = competition.  Americans like competition... except in the Business place????   BLEH!!

Competition puts creative people to work to use their minds, and make life fun.  Now people many times are enslaved to their jobs, so the upper 1% can get theirs.  How does one company in an industry buy up another company in the same industry???  How does that help things???   You see, on paper that is against the law, but in real life it isn't.  These are the people you vote into office.  They will do the same thing.   If every company wants to slash payroll payroll payroll.  Who will the spenders be??  2/3 of the economy is consumer driven, and the consumer is not driving much these days.  With good competition people will put all their creative energies to work to make a better and better product.  With little competition the work life is bland.

You want to really really really make this country great???  Make it smarter.  Make Higher Education more accessible to people.  Smarter will equal better in the long run.  You have to have faith in that.  Also smarter in the long run will also equal better citizens.  Now our citizens some believe what they hear on FOX news, and some on other news outlets.  MSNBC last time I watched was almost as bad, but on the other side.  Just because a person is on TV does not make him or her smart.  Well...  I think Marilynn Monroe was probably smart, although I am not sure of anything she ever said.  :)   j/k.   

Well, that was an unintended rant.  SHEESH!!!

BTW the direction of a country whose citizens are more educated is progressive in the long run.  FYI!!  A thought to be pondered.  :)  Faith is a long term belief, not a short term gain.

Remember the building blocks... Diligence, Endurance, Steadfastness, Patience, and Perseverance. 

That is it for today!!!   :)

p.s. still didn't run.  I know if I feel something when I walk on concrete at work it won't feel good if I run on pavement or sidewalks.  I am enlightened like that.   :)    We'll see about today.

Now for really really cya cya cya!!!   :)

Through Bad Comes Good!!

It is the only way it works, because you see there is only one good.  Not any of us are perfect, so we have to trust through all the bad... which we will all be subject too. Good can come from all, but it is a hard SCARY lesson.  We have to admit our own imperfections, and really only the courageous and tough can do that.  That which doesn't kill us right??  You know how many times in my life I felt nothing but despair despair despair????  One thought always popped up.  You know what??  I am not dead, there is still hope.  That is the gift of life.  Being alive means there is always hope for better days, and another sunrise.  Another night's sleep to start another day, and hopefully with a better perspective than the day before, if that day was hard. We have rainy days like I have said numerous times, but they help us grow, and make us strong.  We need to be strong.  Strong is honest, and strong is open.  You have the ability, and the strength comes from just putting your head down and doing it.  This shit ain't easy.  Okay??  No one said it would be.

Now I think those who read me know the story.  We had a blow up at our house on Sunday.  I just had a bad week, and I was irritable.  I exploded on Hailey's boyfriend.  Really ripped into him, as you all can imagine might be a pretty good ripping.  :)  Hailey and that son of a bitch stood up to me and held their ground.  Pent up frustration found a release in him.  He was strong enough to take it, and I texted Hailey after she said she Fucking hates me again I think.  :)  I said I had a bad week, and took it out on them.  I told them what bugged me, and I also told her "oh and Fuck you for hating me too bitch!!"  as a joke.  I put a smiley and a j/k.  When I got home from work, I shook Jesse's hand, and said bad week.  I also told him he can swear all he wants, because if it pisses Jackie off, then I am all for it.  :)  Hailey hugged me and said she loved me.  We all get along now. 

Gotta trust folks!!   It is the only way it works!!  :)

I may run today.... not sure.   Not sure if the leg is good enough.  I'll just run solo early after work.  There is a beer Marathon thingy, but I am just going to get the run in early, and cook a dinner, and chill.  Oh I brought a lot of my books back to the library too.  I have a lot more.  I could have sold them on Craigslist I bet, but when it comes to being creative making money... I am freaking lazy.  I'd rather just get rid of the crap.  :)  Used book store is closing. 

That is it for today!!!   :)

Thanks for reading!!!   :)

Ladybugs in Nigeria June 2004 Edition

National Geographic.  I am not going to read it, nope it ain't gonna happen!!  :)  That was my conversation with Brian, Lisa's brother.   I was telling him about shit around here.  How Lisa and I would have a great great life, but we have so many lazy people living with us.  What is an amazing and fun marriage these people put stress on.  Brian doesn't know how we do it.  Lisa went to her best friend's house yesterday just to get away from the fucking people who live here.  Myself included.  btw Brian had 15 years of National Geographics he got rid of.  He was like I read them cover to cover, but I am not going to read them again.  He gave them to the library.  Humpback whales June 2007  not going to read it again.  Fossils found in Ethipia March of 97 nope, it isn't going to happen.  Oh man did I laugh my ass off.  :)

She is about fed up with me.  We had a long talk yesterday.  She told me stuff she was unhappy about, and I told her stuff I wasn't happy about.  I told her I have good in me, and bad.  I am not perfect.  Things I want in this house, are no clutter.  We have too much stuff, I'd be willing to just throw out.  So I guess I am going to start.  I will bring all my books I will never read, and sell them at the used book store, or bring to the library.  I love the library, so that should be a start.  Let's face it I don't normally read books twice.  William Shirer's classic "The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich" I read twice.  Joseph Heller I read multiple times.  I read, "It" twice, although once was enough.  "Anne Frank" I read twice, and that might be about it.  Time to get rid of some stuff.  Drives me bonkers. 

Brian and I were saying about the people who live here, How???  Who thinks that is o.k.??  Whoever grows up, and says I want to do nothing??  Who lives in someone else's house at the generosity of the person, and doesn't offer to lend a helping hand, but is FORCED by Lisa to do shit.  These are not good people.  They got some growing up to do.  Kevin is the sanest one of the lot, and he is up at 6:00am playing video games.  Not even to bed yet.

I deal with shit every day.  I would hope people would have the RESPECT not to add to it. 

I spent $45 getting my phone fixed, and I found out yesterday a friend had what I needed, and I could have got it for free.  Some friends huh??

Also on another note.  I have one picture, and one picture only I keep on my phone.  All the others get deleted pretty quickly.  Obviously I am not a picture guy, I am a word guy.  I showed it to the person who is in it Saturday.  I told him this is the only picture I ever keep.  It was good to see him again. 

That is it for today!!!   :)

Thanks for reading!!!   :)
