Every time...

I think I've learned or mastered a life lesson, god and my own jaskassness reminds I don't know shit. So much more to say....but so little I want to type..... Take care goofs

mental note......

After trying to pronounce the word fucking..........and it comes out as fooking......It's way past the time to pretend to your wife that your sober... Just saying...

So the fun has begun.......

A couple of weeks ago, I actually started my new job full time. This is a huge shift for me in terms how and why I get paid, and to be honest..it's pretty damn scary. But ya know what??? I'm liking it, and I can do this! It's going to be tight for awhile, and honestly...I wish I had gotten serious about this 6 months ago. Pursuing a world of self employed PC tech really just didn't fly here. Well...it did fly, but then people don't pay...they bounce checks...they stiff you or pull no shows for an on-site....they crap ass you with "well Bob quoted me half that"! People can be assholes. Fuck that noise. I'm out, I'm way out. I love IT and PC repair, I have a couple customers that I'll always service.......but screw the "I can make a living of this shit". Wish me luck goofs and friends, this is going, and it's feeling good. It's not money in the bank yet, but the wheels stopped spinning and the truck is moving!! :)

At least once......

In every mans life...... You must look yourself in the mirror.....and say.. I believe...! No disrespect to you lasses out there.....I'm just being honest. I'm a guy...we have no fucking idea what makes you tick. :)

Dear Jenny,

Let's have a vote not privately funded by Hillary supporter. Besides that, I support any re-vote effort that includes a recall vote for you as an option. “I believe Senator Levin, Congresswoman Kilpatrick, National Committeewoman Debbie Dingell and U.A.W. President Ron Gettelfinger identified the fairest way for Michigan voters to have a voice in seating a delegation in Denver. They recommended to the Democratic National Committee (D.N.C.) that Michigan hold a state-run, privately funded primary." Yeah...just like you believed they had a great idea ....lets move the primary to January.... February is too late in the game. I have more respect for Heather Mills at this point. At least she has one good leg to stand on.

Random thoughts....

It's always been my belief......that anger begets anger.....and respect begets respect. Since I've aged, I realize the world is more grey than black and white, but still believed.....this tenant mostly true. It pains me to learn........while the prior is obvious, the latter no guarantee.

My son and I............

My son and I have been watching re-runs of Titus on DVD. While it's disturbing that alot of it rings true in his life........most of which we laugh about, it's pretty good fun all around. Even my lovely wife watches and laughs out loud, we grew up with much the same....I digress So anywho, manchild and I are chuckling, talking about what is and is not different from our lives vs the show. Who reminds of what family member......and then it comes up....the day manchild wanted to take on the old man.. Once upon a time there was a young lad. He was a bright boy, a quick learner. His father, so loving him, sponsored to the tune of around $2500.00 for him to earn his black belt over 3 years in Tae Kwon Do. His father warned him, that while he was proud, he thought the academy.....because I cannot call it a dojo....was.....well...kinda lame. This young man excelled.......earned belts quickly...at an amazing pace. For every check written, he seemed to graduate to a new belt level...and one day...he achieved black belt. I was proud, he did really work at it, and then it happened. Manchild wanted to spar with his old man. The old man had talked often of his training, and his ideas. The old man had never taught his son kata, for fear of his training rubbing off on his son... Manchild wanted to spar with the old man...Manchild puffed up, said.."Lets GO!!" This was a dilemma, manchild was twelve. Manchild was determined. Manchild made a horrible mistake. When manchild recovered himself from 3 fingers tickling his liver....he dedicated himself to learning that move......and I couldn't be prouder. Me and my dad.....we did this over a game of chess. My son......he's a little more fisty, and now, a bit more respectful.........either way, proud as hell...:) Take care goofs and friends..:)

Why I'd prefer 40+ acres....to the city..

Recently, my fellow blogger Bunny posted an entry why she liked living in the semi-city. You can read the whole post here . While I agree with my friend that it's cool to yak with friends and neighbors.....I could not disagree more, for myself. It's not thats she is wrong, it's just that I like me privacy...and privacy. Lets face it goofs and friends, I'm not totally right in the head, if I choose to run around naked in my back yard, I should have that option. Should that option blind a neighbor due to my pastey ass hairy cottage cheese ass....well yes, thats bad. Give me room..room to have parties without annoying my neighbors. Give me room to play my music loud and shoot guns. Give me room to sit naked in a hot tub alone, or with my wife..or with any combination plus friends in my backyard. It's not for everybody, but I am perfectly content, not having to live that close to all, now only if I can make it happen full time......:) I'm not antisocial.........I'm just not the best of neighbors......:)

Overdue mailbag.....

I have an aunt I've mentioned before. We disagree almost head to head when it comes to politics, but we do agree strongly about supporting our troops regardless. She sent this and it made me smile, nod and chuckle. Hope you enjoy...:) Rules for the Non Military Dear Civilians, "We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation has many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance: 1. The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem---kick their ass. 2. When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest---kick their ass. 3. Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass. 4. (GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs) or Jungle Fatigues, telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay when you were seven years old. Now, it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked. 5. Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them, "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking (children are exempt). 6. If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard 'non-military', inform them of their mistake---and kick their ass. 7. Next time Old Glory (the US flag) prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her---of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking. 8.Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a veteran. We are Americans, and we all bleed the same, regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command is to include our Commander-In-Chief (CinC). The President (for those who didn't know)is our CinC regardless of political party. We have no inside track on what happens inside those big important buildings where all those representatives meet All we know is that when those civilian representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the military to go straighten it out. If you keep asking us the same stupid questions repeatedly, you will get your ass kicked! 9. 'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to me---stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore, could kick your ass! 10.Bin Laden and the Taliban are not Communists, so stop saying 'Let's go kill those Commies!' And stop asking us where he is! Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military. That reminds me---if you see anyone calling those damn psychic phone numbers, let me know, so I can go kick their ass! 11.'Flyboy' (Air Force), 'Jarhead' (Marines), 'Grunt' (Army), 'Squid' (Navy), 'Puddle Jumpers' (Coast Guard), etc., are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. That could get your ass kicked. 12. Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Thanksgiving and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get it's ass kicked." "It is the Veteran, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press. "It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. "It is the Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." "If you can read this, thank a teacher" If you are reading it in English, thank a Veteran " I will add one more: 13. If you ever see anyone either standing for or singing our national anthem in Spanish - KICK THEIR ASS. Take care goofs and friends.

Tagged post........Damn you Winterskibunney!! :)

OK...so I've been tagged. This awkward and shit.......I have to bare my soul. I have to answer honest. Hell, well hell I lack words........so here we go... 1. I can’t believe I’ve never… Had intimate relations with 3 gals I remember from high school. 2. Every time I think about … I still cringe. That incident in the pole barn when the 16 gauge went off and his hat flipped. 3. I wish I’d …when I had the chance. Slit his throat......but I was a kid and scared........ehh...ok......learned Gaelic from my grandpa. 4. I’ve never felt so out of place as when I… My first time at family camp...my wife. I consider myself a chameleon...they were having none of that....:)It did get better after.......... 5. … is my guiltiest pleasure. Watching people I don't care about....destroy themselves. This presidential cycles has been good for that. 6. I hope … knows how grateful I am for … My dad. Whether he knows it or not.......his toss, gave me more balance than he gives himself credit for. 7. In my darkest hours, I secretly blame … for my dysfunction. This would assume I'm dysfunctional, fuck.....from where I stand, you all need therapy...:) yes yes....denial is early in the list, but I like it!! :) 8. … changed my life forever. Most won't understand.........but I met what walks in the woods.... take care goofs and friends....:)

About the re-vote...

First off.....don't do it. Michigan and Florida broke the rules, live with it. Second off....There is no way to make it fair. If we had stuck to the rules......and this is a big if..Edward may well be in the race still. The situation at hand lets the re-vote....vote for Obama or Hillary....out of turn, this my friends is bullshit. There is no way to make this fair...........let it be, vote proper when the assholes that created this problem comes up. We didn't create it....but we sure as hell can frogwalk those that did......out the door.

I've been tagged.....:)

So after the trip up north.....in part to inspect the thievery, and to find other things to be grumpy about, I took my mom out on a date. If you never have.....you should! yes yes...this sounds geeky or nerdy, but fuck you......my mom is a lonely woman, and I as the only son take her out a couple times a year, we gamble, we eat dinner, and then she drinks me under the table. Actually...I think I won this last drinking bought......but only by 5 minutes.......but I digress.....it's just how we do things here.. So we set aside 50 each for the casino.............which we lost......no need to go into that, it was never expected we'd win. Hoped for yes......but expected no. This was about entertainment, and money well spent. When it was all done.........5:30am.......mom and I looking at a half full 5th, and a pile of empty beer cans......we decided...perhaps it was time to go to bed. Thats family bonding friends....thats just gold. I'm a lucky Zig. :) BTW.....Winterskibunny has tagged me...........I'll be responding to that tomorrow.....:)

Things that suck....

Family that steals from you!! A thank you for not sending your ass to jail would have been great. An "I'm sorry, I fucked up"..would have been enough. While I won't air family laundry here KEVIN....I will make sure all in the family know. I'll be tactful, and not post your picture......I'll be tactful and respect family wishes this time. Your dad was correct.......you are what he called you on the phone. This is the last time I'll be tactful, and I look forward to our next game of horse shoes.......shit happens.
