I’m doing my favorite thing this morning, well in the top 5 anyway: procrastinating.
I have a doctors appointment for a physical this morning since it’s been awhile. I was going to go into work before…but to hell with it.
I posted last week about my dilemma at work. What I didn’t post at the time that the employee trying to put my head on the executioners block was my boss. I really think she believed there would be no repercussions. First rule: There are always consequences for your actions. Now things have changed since I discovered the nasty little deed and fixed it.
The bad part of all of this my loyalty to my company and the concept of being a team has gone down the toilet. Now it’s “cover your ass” at all cost. Each man or woman, as the case maybe for themselves. I’m well used to this concept. When I consulted and did interim director positions in troubled facilities this was the name of the game. I got lazy here, I forgot the rules. Shame on me.
The way the game works if someone puts the screw to you…and you find out, and get out of it. You win. You become the power player. Then the rules change and of course you have to expect another offensive move fast…so be prepared. Bar the doors and windows and reload and strategically place your warheads. Then you immediately start digging the tunnel to get your ass out of there aka political negotians. Fun huh?
Now hopefully the tunnel being completed and the bonus check happen simultaneously. That’s the overall war plan. We’ll see. In the mean time there are certain sanctions being implemented and the UN is working behind the scenes. Heh.
Is it bad to wish for exile to a tropical island?

I can’t remember a time without the Beatles. My very first 45 was the Beatles “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”. I can’t think of all the music I’ve owned and listened to over the years, the Beatles still have an enormous impact.
Some of my favorites:
Don’t Let Me Down
Golden Slumbers is what I sang to my babies.
While My Guitar Gently Weeps , I think the lyrics and the music got George by on this one. His voice was definitely nothing to write home about…but damn he was cute.
She Came in Through the Bathroom Window
Oh Darling, my all time favorite. No one ever liked this song but me.
I have a story about that song. The first time I ever heard it, I was at a party in a friends basement. We were smoking pot, just sitting around doing stoner shit. I was staring at this picture of Jesus hanging on the wall across the room when it fell down and the glass broke. No one says a word for awhile and finally the kid whose house it is says “weird shit man.” Funny how I can remember that of all things.

One of my favorite bands of all time was a little known band called Mason Proffit. I really didn’t discover them until about the time they were disbanding. I did get to see John and Terry Talbot in concert around ’75. They played a few of their old stuff, but mostly new. It was good, but I was disappointed.Here is a listing of their recordings. I can’t find alot about them on the net but did find some old reviews here , apparently a couple of other people feel the same way I did.I have all of there stuff on LP’s, lot a good it does me since I don’t have a turn table..but I’m not giving them up. I see a couple of them with a current bid on Amazon of $35.Anyway..if you ever get a chance, listen to Eugene Pratt and Two Hangmen.

Yes I did. I finally contacted Joni about doing something to change my site. I hope she survives me. I went whoa! had a little trouble answering those questions.I’m sure she will be shaking her head when she reads the answer for: Do you use php or HTML? My intelligent answer to this question: Huh? I wanted to answer a Dell…but knew that was probably not what she was looking for.I suppose the answer to the question :What platform do I use?” was not “a soapbox” either. I had to think about it awhile, I hope the correct answer was Windows XP?
God, I hope she don’t dump me. I know if I was her I’d be reading my letter thinking “this woman is too stupid for words.”Isn’t it scarey that people like me can even have a blog?

Now I’ve said before how it doesn’t take much for me to buy into a conspiracy theory. I haven’t heard any about the blackouts, but isn’t it just a little odd that 3 countries have had major blackouts within the last 6 weeks?Italy is blaming France. I think we all should. France hasn’t had a blackout, but they did have the big checkout. What was it..13 or 14,000? Ok, maybe we should blame Germany.

When I read this post by Tiger…I thought wow, this is my life. Those lyrics:
I don’t pick up the mail, I don’t pick up the phone
I don’t answer the door, I’d as soon be alone
I don’t keep this place up, I just keep the lights down
I don’t live in these rooms, I just rattle around
I’m just a ghost in this house
I’m just a shadow upon these walls
As quietly as a mouse I haunt these halls
I don’t feel depressed, I don’t feel sad. I just feel like I’m doing time. I’ve loved, I’ve laughed, I’ve cried and life keeps moving on. I had a 20 year marriage, I’ve had my kids, I’ve had my career.The last five years I’ve had two relationships that could of gone long term, but it was like putting in time with them also. When I first separated and filed for divorce I could not imagine living life alone, without love…hell without sex. Over the last seven years my priorities have changed. I have no fucking clue what they are, but I guess part of me knows what they aren’t.
Tiger writes:
I have thought about seeing a doctor, but then I would be saying something is wrong with me for feeling this way, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with me for feeling this way. In fact, I think I am feeling exactly like any normal person would feel who has lived through the kind of life I have had so far.I think he’s right. In the meanwhile I’ll do my time and see what happens.

I’ve read alot online lately about gun control. I am definitely for the right to bear arms. We can not put laws into place to prevent fools from being fools. Fools exist in every country, every city, every block in the neighborhood.I was shot by a fool when I was 19. Then again, I was in a place where fools tend to gather. A bar. The drinking age at that time was 18 and every weekend was bar night. The name of the bar was SteveBo’s, one of those neighborhood bars with a couple of pool tables, good music on the juke box, no old fogies to torment you.It was around 10pm I was playing pool with a group of friends when Steve the owner came in. He was obviously very drunk and who knows what else he had been doing. Well for some reason out of all those people he spots me and decided I need to dance for him. I told him to go to hell and continued to play pool, doing my best to ignore him. Then I notice the pool table area starts clearing out rapidly – then I notice Steve standing there with a gun.Again he told me to dance or he was going to shoot me. Well the way people were flying out of the bar, including his friends I assumed he meant business. I’ve said before I’m a stubborn bitch and when I’m threatened I do not act rationally. I put my stick down took a step at him and said “fuck you”. He shot me in the leg, which at the time I didn’t know he did. He didn’t either, he thought he shot at the floor. Again he said “dance”. About that time I felt something very wet running down my leg and seen the blood pooling under the cuff of my jeans.At this point Steve went nuts and started yelling “I can’t believe I shot you!” Well duh. Luckily he only took off a junk a skin off my calf and put a hole in my favorite jeans.Well I left the bar naturally with Steve yelling at me as I left that I have free drinks for the rest of my life. Yeah right fool, like I would ever go back there again.About 5 years after that, Steve was shot and killed in another bar. Shot point blank in the chest…the man who shot him never had charges filed against him. Who knows what went down.

Is the name of the rock band that was planning to show a “live suicide” on stage during their concert in St. Petersburg.The hard-rock band Hell on Earth had said that a suicide by a terminally ill person would take place during a concert Saturday to raise awareness of right-to-die issues.The theaters owner cancelled the circus and it seems they are having trouble booking the gig but Band leader Billy Tourtelot has vowed that the concert and suicide will still take place at an undisclosed location in the city, broadcast live on the band’s Web site.”This show is far more than a typical Hell On Earth performance,” Tourtelot said in an e-mail last week. “This is about standing up for what you believe in, and I am a strong supporter of physician-assisted suicide.”Apparently assisting in a suicide is a felony and a manslaughter charge. I wonder if he’s willing to go to jail for his beliefs? I bet not.

Well it seems like every news site I’ve looked at today is telling the world that older women are looking for younger men.I don’t think we are out there looking for them but I believe younger men have some preconceived notions about older women and therefore pursue older women more than you can imagine.
Some of those preconceived notions:
All the surveys about sex being more enjoyable for women in their 30′s, 40′s…I can’t speak for higher, but that’s not a myth, that’s true. For all you younger women believe it or not…it gets even better.There is alot less stress and tension about where the relationship is going to go, like marriage and a family. Most of us have been there done that and don’t want to go back. A lot less drama.I think they think we are desperate. Hell maybe we are. I’ll end that one here.My mother married a man 12 years younger than she was. I was a teen at the time I remember thinking she was nuts and in fact I about died (so I thought) of embarrassment. They were very happily married for about 19 years before he was tragically killed in a car accident.So I figured if good old Mom could do it I could, so I dated a man 8 years younger than myself for about 3 months. It was interesting to say the least but I really didn’t feel I had anything in common with him…and I felt like I was robbing the cradle.So that’s my two cents worth on the whole subject.

I’m reading this article this morning on the states funding of adult education to obtain GED’s and the whining going on. Now even Michigan has public schools. All of these people have a chance to get their education for free the first time around. They fucked up. How many times should the tax payers keep having to pay for fuck ups?Is there any other society in the world that lets people know they can be total ass bums and not to worry about it the government will take care of you? Go to work at McDonalds you lazy asses and pay for it yourself. It’s called work. It’s what the rest of us have been doing for your free ride.
