The other day I recieved an email that really irritated me.  It has nothing to do with abortion or gun laws or healthcare or any issues at all.  Rather, it was nothing but ignorance intended to make the ignorant masses happy with themselves by getting "righteously" angry at someone else.

First off, here was the email I got:

So for quite a while, if not so much recently, my living room light would turn on by itself.  The first few times I found it on when I came home from work or woke up in the morning, and so brushed it off as forgetting to turn it off.  Then, paying more attention to it, I found that after making sure to turn it off before I left or went to bed, it ( Read more... )

It's funny - even as Obama is making history in his innauguration, the First Lady has become nothing more or less than a fashion statement.  Every time I see something about her, it's always about how great she dresses and where she got the outfit she's wearing that day.  And all this following the big (if brief) controversy over Palin and her ( Read more... )

We all like to bitch about the rich and their stinginess, say they do what they can to keep us down, and they should be putting out more to help us in the economy.  I've heard several people say "If Bill Gates would share just some of his money our deficit / national debt could be nearly wiped out."  Well here's to all you naysayers.  In this past ( Read more... )

Why is it whenever the ground gets even slightly damp from even the suggestion of rain, the power at my house flickers, just enough to shut off my internet for a few minutes?  Suck.

In an online news article discussing the changes Obama plans on making using executive orders ( Read more... )

Had  a weird dream last night.  I came home to find my house had been broken into.  They took my tv, but the motorcycle was the strange part.  They didn't actually steal the bike; they removed the front wheel and took that.  Appearantly they also brought 3 other motorcycles from somewhere else and put them in my garage as well, all of them also ( Read more... )

So after getting everything turned off and put away and brought inside and altogether ready for a big storm......nothing happened.  Ike passed by to the east, we got the very western edge of it.  Enough to make a light steady rain all day with occasional light winds.  To tell the truth I actually feel kinda......let down.  After all the excitement ( Read more... )

So after gas broke $4 a gallon, I decided it was time to quit thinking about it and active look for a new bike - specifically a Kawasaki Ninja 250.  At 70mpg with the amount of driving I do, it would literally pay for itself and then some with the gas it would be saving.  So I picked one up for the price I was looking for, and so far has been ( Read more... )
