The things in my head go ’round and ’round

This is my life. You can’t have it.

Archive for the ‘Bitterness’


So who wants to beat up on Sarah Palin?

Seems to be some folks out there in the bogosphere, and in the newspapers who want to whip up on her.

Lots of negative things being said. She has no experience, involved in scandal, five kids, fairly newborn with downes, pregnant 17 yr old daughter, yada, yada, yada.

Same political crap. You get in the public eye, you get watched. Close and hard. Would we really want the press to lay off of people we want running our country? I don’t think so. As much as I pissed and moaned about Bill C. and his stupid actions. Can’t say mistakes, it was thought out.

But Sarah? Dig up as much dirt as you can on her, but leave the kids alone. Period. I don’t like her politics, and I am not going to vote for her. I caution everyone who is undecided at this point to look hard and long at what the Republican Party is offering, but leave her family alone. There is no place in politics to dredge up crap on families.

My opinion.

Namaste.

Every Bloggers Just a Setting Sun

I stole that line from a blogger who commented on this link that takes you to Always Home, and Uncool. He writes about BlogHer and the real happenings.

Too Funny.

Namaste.

BlogHer blah, blah, blah

If you are reader of blogs you know about the BlogHer conference that is going on in San Francisco this weekend.

Yippee.

‘Ceptin’ I won’t be there. Even though guy bloggers can be BlogHers. I don’t think that MLW would be all that accepting of me attending a conference that is listed as “BlogHer’s mission is to create opportunities for women who blog to pursue exposure, education, community and economic empowerment.” It would be the opportunities part, along with the exposure parts that would get to her most.

That and the fact that I would be drinking with a bunch of women. Trying my best to make them understand that Bud Light, and Coors Light is on the same level as goat urine.

But I am bitter. Why don’t men have a BlogHim? And then, of course I came across this. Men will never have a meaningful convention because unlike the women blogger out there, we won’t be interested in making connections and establishing relationships. We wouldn’t be concerned with meeting with corporate sponsers and making the world better. We would be drinking, eating, and holding farting contests.

Sigh.

Sometimes it all seems so hopeless.

Workin’ for the weekend

Well, not really the weekend but it is the only two days off in a row that I am going to see before I go on vacation.

Which is in TWO WEEKS!!!!

I would like to say that I can’t wait, but the reality is that I have to wait. Because the time off starts in two weeks, not today. Unless, of course, I fake some crazy illness and take the next two weeks off from work.

Speaking of a crazy illness. Those of us who have been paying attention have known that I had an allergic reaction to poison ivy. Did the whole ER thing, got the steroids, got the benedryl, got the shakes and the mood swings. For those who weren’t paying attention, specifically the people that I work with, I did not get an infection from a tattoo. Idiots.

The people I work with seem to be some of the most un-trusting folks that you can come across. I had to leave work early on Friday due to my leg swelling up. The patch of poison ivy on the back of my leg had soaked 3 sets of bandages through with lymph that my body was making to try and deal with the poison ivy. One of my co-workers thought that it would be a neat thing to do to start a rumor that I had an infection due to a bad tat. Then when I went into work on Saturday I had to show my boss my leg to prove to him that I did indeed have poison ivy.

This is the first time in 28 years of work that I have had to prove my illness to a boss. Just makes you all warm and fuzzy inside, now doesn’t it? Paranoid people make me crazy.

With that being said, I am going to go enjoy the day. MLW, The Princess and I are going to see a movie today. Something we haven’t done as a family in forever.

Poison. As in Ivy

Brett Michaels, whose last name Sychak comes from Mechanicsburg, Pa. MLW’s first husband used to hang out with him when they were young. MLW’s first MIL used to chase Brett out of her house on a regular basis.

Small world, eh?

But the poison I want to talk about comes from a plant. Poison Ivy. I hate this crap. We seem to have an abundance of it in our yard, as every year I come down with a hefty dose.

This year I have it on my right arm, the back of my right leg, and on my upper lip. A lot better than the year that I managed to get it on my crotchular area. That wasn’t fun explaining to my woman Dr. how I managed to do that. When the best answer that I could come up with was I didn’t wash my hands BEFORE I went to the bathroom. Highly uncomfortable.

Anyway……it itches, I try not to itch it, and then find myself itching it without thinking about it. I should have stock in the companies that make hydrocortisone.

What’s on your mind today?

Namaste.

Should the Ipod in my head be called a Mypod?

Most likely, seeing as Apple has trademarked the Ipod for their own use. I wonder if I should trademark “Mypod”?

It makes me crazy to have people call vegetables “veggies”. They aren’t “veggies”, they are vegetables. Calling vegetables by some cutesy, stupid name does not make them all the more palatable. It makes you look ignorant. After all, cut up vegetables are only a vehicle to get as much of the vegetable dip into your gaping maw. Calling them “veggies”, and the dip “veggie dip” does nothing to negate the fact that you have just consumed as many calories as a Third World country.

Today is JUBILEE DAY!! JUBILEE DAY IS HERE!!!

I will post pictures later on this afternoon/evening. Promise. You will like them. You should be here.

Just stay out of my parking space.

Namaste.

The Things in My Head - Thursday

Sometimes the things in my head are not so nice. They sometimes are just a tad bit bitchy, and might just bite you if you aren’t looking.

That is what is going on in my head today. We are adolescents. Not well behaved adolescents. Spoiled adolescents. Who want what we want when we want it.

No patience. No concern about anyone other than ourselves.

What brings this on? We are all bitching about the price of fuel.

Gas Prices Going Up

It has sky rocketed in the past year. Why? Any number of reasons, in reality. And one of them is that it is good for business.

Like it or not, if you have any stock in any oil company right now you are happy. If you own oil stock, you are making money. And isn’t that why you bought stock? To make money?

I wrote about a speed trap that is outside of the town I live in. Why do we need speed traps? Because people go faster than the speed limit. And if you break the law, then we employ people who are supposed to enforce the law. Again with the business.

Business is every where. Don’t want tickets? Don’t speed. Don’t want high oil prices? Find another source for fuel.

There are easy solutions to everything. Just do what needs to be done. We complain that our politicians don’t speak for us. That they speak for PAC’s. So vote them out. And vote in someone else. But understand that the PAC’s are there because they are making money. It is business. So at some point in time you will have to get rid of the PAC’s.

Can we all play nice without all of the folks that are between us trying to get our cash out of our hands? I wonder.

The Things in My Head – Tuesday

The Things in My Head hate morning TV. I am really sick of Crossing Jordan about now.

Depression is not the laugh a minute state that I thought it was.

Though the manic parts of it are pretty interesting.

And I am really hating the fact that I woke up an hour earlier than I needed to because I forgot to change the alarm before I went to bed last night.

I am not happy.

Namaste.

Spring time colds

Suck big time.

My nose is raw from wiping. My throat hurts, I am sneezing like a demon. And this isn’t allergies.

Crap.

I am not Bossy

Opinionated. Argumentative. Bull-headed. Yes.

But I am not Bossy.

Georgia Getz IS Bossy.

And I am jealous. Not of her being Bossy. I am jealous because she worker her ass off and got this gig with Saturn cars where she drove various cars around the country, and met with various bloggers.

She called it “Bossy’s Excellent Roadtrip“. Don’t know who paid for the gas, but what the hell. I would like to drive around the US in various new cars meeting new people. What wouldn’t be cool about that?

Go read about it. Lots of neat folks out there to meet.

I am jealous.

But I am not Bossy.
