Well, how's tricks, kids? Anyone want to go first? OK, well then, I will. So, it turns out that Mr. Obama is nothing more than a token black at this point. I still believe Hilary Clinton was paid to drop out of the race so that we could have a black man as president! Not that he will actually DO ANYTHING! Anyway, enough about nothing.

Let me see, what is new. Oh! My youngest daughter isn't so young anymore, she is now 18 years old! Yes, she is still at home, and in school full time. She still has another full year of school next year! She had to start school late because of her birthday. Right now she is looking forward to this year's prom....can anyone say "expensive"?

What else is going around? My little grandson is now six years old, and his sister will be 10 years old this summer! Me, well I will be 50 next month! Fifty years old! Can you believe it? And yes, I am as grouchy as ever! This old bear just refuses to change much.

We had snow here this winter four seperate times. That hasn't happened in recent memory! We are lucky to get at least one day of snow per winter. A large water main burst back in January, and we had to go to the next town that my oldest girl lives in to stock up on water for a whole week! We had containers of water sitting everywhere in the house! My youngest girl even missed a week from school; it was shut down due to lack of water.

Yeah, yeah, I hear some of you out there, "what about your wife"? She is still around. Whatever...Oh, for those of you that follow me, my blood-sugar levels are STILL high...too high as it turns out. The Insulin that I am on isn't working. I tried some new Insulin, and got the same results. So, I seem to be losing the fight on that front. Oh well.

For now, play nice with each other, untill you hear from me next...

Happy New Year!

Hey, everyone, how's tricks? So, here we are in a new year, and I still have nothing to say. I am trying to lose some more weight. No, it is NOT one of those silly "New Year's Resolutions". I hate that shit...lofty goals that almost no one ever attains! Screw that, I just take it as it comes, and then deal with it...best as I can. We had a good Christmas, I guess. The grandkids went to Old Mexico with their parents (how the fuck else would they get there?). They had a ball down there!

Ok, what else...not much, I guess. My blood-sugar levels are still far too high. The insulin seems to not be able to control it. So, what the fuck else is new? I am getting used to being screwed over here lately, anyway. So, take care, and maybe I will slit my wrists, or walk out in front of a truck, to end this farce that some call a life! Now wouldn't you just LOVE to read about THAT???

Have you seen the ads on tv where people say that they have had a great idea, and sent it to Microsoft, and "bingo"! Their idea was magically transposed into Windows 7? Have you seen this shit? I have an idea for Microsoft, and Mr. Bill Gates...give everyone who has a copy of your shitty operating systen known as Windows Vista a FREE, LICENSED, copy of the newer, better, Windows 7! And apologize for loading our new computers with crap!

"Hi, I'm a pc, and this is my idea!"

Six Years of Freedom

Today marks six years without smoking! I never thought it would last this long, especially after the things my wife has done to me over that time! I am glad that I no longer smoke, that is for sure. I will gladly take my six years, and not look back!

My Sacrifice

...Please come here, I think I'm falling, holding onto all that I think is safe. It seems I found the road to nowhere, and I'm trying to escape! I yelled back when I heard thunder, but I'm down to one last breath, and with it let me say...Hold me now, I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down.

Two Icons Lost

This has been one of the worst weeks in a long time. We lost what can only be called two American Icons this past week. Farrah Fawcet and Micheal Jackson. They are gone far too quickly. If you are wondering, yes, I used to have a poster of Farrah, and I also listened to Micheal's music at one time.

So many people will not mourn these two superstars, they will get caught up in the greed of making money off of these two persons. I humbly ask all of my readers to remember one thing....these were PEOPLE first, with feelings. Now they are gone, please show some respect. My wife recieved some jokes about Micheal jackson on her cell phone, and I just didn't find them funny. I might have laughed had he not been dead, I guess.

In my time here on this little rock we call home, I have seen many people die. Some I have mourned in my own way, and others I figured we were better off without. Now, why did I say that? Well, some people are given a lifetime to do good, and they just never get it right, whether by choice, or by design. I have spent the first half of my life being an asshole. I have devoted the last 20 years trying to do right by people, even if it is people that I don't know. I feel that we touch so many lives around us that we should be careful of our actions, lest we injure or harm someone without our knowledge.

Have a great weekend, and please, be nice to each other....

:) Holla' If You Hear Me!!! :)

Love, the Timeless Heartache

Love....what is it? An emotion? A feeling? A state of mind? A lasting, or fleeting, thing? A problem to be solved? Something that science can put down to a couple of chemical interactions? No, love is a state of the heart, that small, constantly beating muscle in our chests. The ONE ORGAN that we cannot be without, and it is susceptible to be affected by LOVE...how convienent!

I was in love once, with a beautiful person. Not anymore. I have learned a valuable lesson, one that I already knew, but let go of. Love is bullshit! Love is for fools and incompetents! Love will stomp all over your heart, and leave it broken and bloodied! I used to worship a certain person in my life, untill they hurt me.

Now, there is NO FORGIVENESS for that person. To rip out my heart in that manner, then act like it was nothing! To constantly tell me to "just get over it". I can't! I devoted my heart and soul, (if I have one), to this person. I will never love anyone like that again, NEVER! I have learned that people are full of shit, and no one is to be trusted!
