What Hath God Wrought?

 Well, my Bowflex came today...sort of. It seems that the only box with the nuts, bolts, and washers was left out. Oh well, shit happens.  I will still post my "measurements" before I start to use the machine. There is no way that I would leave you out of this. Win, lose, or draw, I am keeping you informed. Good or bad, right or wrong. You will be along for the ride.

 

          Now, I refuse to "fudge" the numbers. I want real results, not someone's dream results! I will check in after six week's worth of work, and see the results. And don't worry about me working out wrong, they(Bowflex) sent me a DVD, and a large book on just what to do. Some of the exercises aren't for me, but most are. Let's see just what happens, ok?

 

          Well, I had BOTH grandchildren today. Talk about a handfull! This has been one long day! I am looking forward to my oldest's birthday this Saturday! Drinking, pig-cooking, and playing with the young'uns! What more could a crusty old bastard like me ask for? Not much, I'll tell ya'! Laterzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,

Who Cares?

 So, I was reading the news, and it seems that Bill Gates isn't the richest man anymore. Turns out, there is some telephone magnate in Mexico that is worth $67.8 Billion. There was a poll beside the information that gave you these three choices, 1) I am surprised,2) I am greatly surprised, and 3) I am not surprised. I declined the poll, because there was no fourth choice..."I really don't give a fuck"! I guess it was just an oversight, huh?

 

     As I write this, I am drinking my favorite beverage...that's right, BEER. I love beer. I have certainly drank enough of it in my lifetime! Will I still drink it when I have my Bowflex machine? Yes, occaisionally. The only way to get me to give it up completely is to bury me in the ground. And why not? People have drank beer for more than 2,000 years. I happily join that crowd. I don't need to get drunk, I just need a few to take the edge off. You try living with pain everyday for most of your life. Go ahead, I'll wait...or not.

 

           Tomorrow is my 25th anniversary. Too bad only about 23 of those were good ones. Well, I guess everything comes to an end. You can't have everything, and all that good shit. So what if I am in a sex-less marriage? Maybe it will get better, but I just don't see it. Leave it to a woman to fuck something good up! I always figured it would be me to fuck it up. It just seems in my lifetime that I manage to fuck up everything. Not this time...it was all her! Fuckit, I say. Shit happens. Oh well, "que sera sera".

 

Holla' If You Hear Me!!!

Still Crooked, After All These Years

Well fuck me runnin'! George W. Bush commuted "Scooter" Libby's prison sentence! How nice of him. Just the thing to do after he(Bush) actually gave the OK to go ahead with the leak anyway. Why, you just can't have agents from the F.B.I running around telling the truth to the American public. What the hell did that female agent think she was doing? How dare she! ...It's called "sarcasim", live with it. It seems to be a lost art lately.

 

        This shit looks about as good as the British MI5 agent who stated that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and then decided to go jogging in a park and blow his own brains out! Yeah, people who kill themselves very often put on a jogging suit and head out for a very public place to splatter their brains all over said public place! If you can't see by now that America and the rest of the world were lied to, you better open your eyes!  America is now in a very dangerous place, and there is no getting out. Saddam Hussien(sp) was tried and hanged for "war crimes", and "crimes against humanity". George Bush should be tried, also, for the exact same things. He misrepresented, misled, and downright lied so he could invade Iraq. Don't tell me he didn't. Anytime you can go nearly anywhere to view soundbites of his that are pure lies! I just can't understand HOW this prick was elected. Oh, wait, he never WAS elected! Thanks Florida, first those damn Cubans, now this...

Still Waiting

 Well, here I am,still waiting for my Bowflex. I hate waiting, but in this case, there is nothing else to do. I did read in the news where the gov't finally decided to give a green card to the wife of a missing Marine. Looks like they finally did something right. While I do not approve of illegal aliens, the card was fully warranted in this case. I'm glad to see that they didn't fuck this one up.

 

         It has come to my attention that I have never told anyone here just WHAT I wanted to be as I was growing up. You may find this strange, but not every kid says "I want to be a Biker when I grow up". I always wanted to dig up Dinosaurs. If not that, then to be an Astronomer. To look at the stars and planets. Shocking, isn't it. I always figured I wasn't smart enough to be in either field. Well, that, and other people telling me I wasn't smart enough. That sort of shit kind of puts holes in your "bucket-o'-dreams", as it were.

 

         Since I almost always had my hands in the guts of some engine, I just naturally went the path of the mechanic. Somewhere along the way, my dreams got lost. My one dream that I haven't given up on is to publish at least one book. That was a dream that has lain in the back of my mind for nearly thirty years. I used to keep a journal all the time. I knew that my life was far different from any other teen's. I knew I was on to something...I wasn't completely sure what, but I knew there was something there. Something that needed to be told. Something that might help other kids, to keep them from the path that I took, or was forced by circumstances to take. Let's face it, I didn't exactly have it easy.

 

         It's funny, but having said that, I have to come back to the Bikers. I learned so much from them; some of it actually good. The sense of brotherhood. Of taking care of your "family", and them taking care of you. Of "having someone's back", and them having yours. A sense of loyalty. Of never "giving up" your "Brothers" to others. Never. That is one of the simplest rules of all..."Rats Die" was the saying. I still feel that way to this day. I won't rat someone out, ever. Even if they rat me out, I cannot do the same. I just can't bring myself to do it.

 

        Just another quick note of interest; the good folks at Bowflex say you can see results in just six weeks with regular work-outs. Well, let us see, shall we? I will post some measurements of my body here, and in six weeks, we will review those measurements, and see just what has transpired, ok? I will post the measurements(settle down, girls), as soon as I have the machine here, and set up. I will be looking for growth in my arms, chest, legs, and a reduction of my stomach. So, it looks like the Bowflex guarantee will get just as good of a work-out as me!!! TTFN! (Ta Ta For Now)

Who is She?

 So, Paris Hilton is out of jail. I can't for the life of me understand why the media keeps saying "prison"? I guess it looks better in print to say "prison" when it is actually jail. And who in the hell is Paris Hilton, anyway? Why does the media continue to give this dime-store slut time on the airwaves? I know she is heir to the famous "Hilton Hotels" fortune.

 

        That is the ONLY thing separating her from a common "working girl". This woman, and I use that term loosely(pun intended...let your mind run with it!) has never did anything to help another person in her life. She is a two-bit slut who put out some video tapes of her having "wild" sex. I haven't looked at them, and don't plan to, either. I like my porn to be done by pros! And a pro she ain't! OK, enough dragging her ass over the coals.

 

          I am still waiting for my Bowflex machine. I really hope it helps me some. I know that I have to start a strict regimen, and stick to it. I can do that. If I can go more than three and a half years without smoking(hold your applause, please), then I can get myself in better shape. And that crap about seeing your doctor before starting any exercise regimen? Screw that, I know when I have had enough better than someone else. I know that I am starting out with some deficiencies(sp?). I just have to adjust my work-out routine to compensate for them. Now my brain hurts, too many big words! Which brings me to another thing that bugs the shit out of me...

 

  ......Pretentious assholes who use big words just because they know them. Even better, assholes who use big words, but in the wrong context! That almost always causes me to laugh in their face. I can't help it. There is just something so funny about someone trying to pull off that "big brain syndrome" that gets me every time. Hey, I am guilty of doing it sometimes, and it is still just as funny! Remember what I always say..."If you can't laugh at yourself, someone will do it for you!"

Something to make you Smile

So, today I am just bored. But, I shall give you something to look at..

 

Murphy's Lesser Known Laws -- Part One

Light travels faster than sound...
...this is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

When you go into court...
...you are putting yourself In the hands of 12 people...
...who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

He who laughs last...
...thinks slowest.

Change is inevitable...
...except from a vending machine.

Those who live by the sword...
...get shot by those who don't.

Nothing is foolproof...
...to a sufficiently talented fool.

The 50-50-90 rule:
Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right...
...there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end...
...someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them...
...five or six at a time...
...on a hill...
...in the fog.

If the shoe fits...
...get another one just like it.

The things that come to those who wait...
...will be the things left by those who got there first.

Flashlight:
A case for holding dead batteries.

The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.

A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
A tax is a fine for doing well.

( ...and, cute sayings for those who love the philosophy of hypocrisy

Don't sweat the petty things...
...don't pet the sweaty things.

Atheism is a 'non-prophet' organization.

If man evolved from monkeys and apes...
...why do we still have monkeys and apes?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman...
..."Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me...
...it would defeat the purpose.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

If a deaf person swears...
...does his mother wash his hands with soap?

If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself...
...is it considered a hostage situation?

Where do forest rangers...
...go to 'get away from it all'?
