I gardened today, and my brain went to this (over the course of 6 hours of tilling/shoveling/weeding ( Read more... )

Just a few random things (mainly political):
1) Gun rights in general.  Gee whiz...people get so so so so so defensive on guns.  The points raised by extremes on either side typically aren't even in the ballpark of reason or sanity of the opposing side.  It's as thought they aren't even speaking the same language.
2) The NRA is visiting Nashville ( Read more... )

I sold my stock positions a little over 2 1/2 weeks ago.  On Facebook, I recommended everyone (as of that time) STRONGLY review their own investment portfolios and consider all positions strongly.  I got little reply.  Was this because people had already done what they needed to do for their own investments?  People were indifferent?  Most of my FB ( Read more... )

This post is nothing but a financial/political rant (Most posts that have wtf - Lewis Black as their header are rants of some sort).

Are we just headed down a road into a dark oblivion of horrible non-debt resolution?

Why do these people ( I Care not your party ) eternally attack the lowest economic level of our society first?  Why must they always ( Read more... )

I am back.  I have decided that I need this forum for communication of my own feelings either to/with myself or with the broader outside world.  Facebook is....guh...NOT livejournal.  And I got too caught up in it for too long, I think this is more real, more true, deeper (should you choose to make it so) than FB can possibly be.  All the new ( Read more... )

The upcoming LJ post is brought to you by the beautiful combination of emotions, bitterness, anger, and aggrievement.

So I dont update often enough (or read your journals often enough either)....but in a recent conversation with Tyler (which I solely blame on his bitch ass) I realized something that is deeply...well, disturbing.  What could that ( Read more... )

I am so thankful to have not 1 but 2 jobs in this economy.  Do I think I am doing what I am meant to do?  I would answer, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.  Do I want to work a 2nd job?  I would answer no, but it's nice to payoff debt quicker ( Read more... )

But I know it has to be right....sigh.  Electricity - 4/23-5/08 - $39.17  5/8-6/11 - $83.58 6/11-6/20 - $23.29 6/20-7/20 - $91.05 7/20-8/20 -$94.24 8/20-9/20 -$129.59 9/20-10/20 - $96.44 10/20-11/20 -$56.12 11/20-12/20 - $117.14  Something is wrong with this picture.  Why?  Because we have westward facing windows...11 of them, 10 feet high each.   ( Read more... )

I must say I am happy that Baltimore is being exposed for the lack of team that they are.  Took til the 2nd quarter for them to get a 1st down.  After stealing 2 games from TN in the playoffs this decade, I am glad (to this point) to see Pittsburgh decimate them.  That is all.  On an aside...I still hate Brian Billick.

For those of you who lived in Cookeville, and worked HelpDesk, attended SEARCH, went to Catholic Church, or were in Boy Scouts...I have bad news.  Frank Bush has passed away.  Visitation will be 4-7PM Friday and the funeral will be at 11AM Saturday.  That is all the information I have as of this time.  Please distribute this to anyone/everyone you ( Read more... )
