20 reasons why no one wants to win in November

Does it seem like no one wants to win in November? There may be something to that.   The United States faces a perfect economic storm which has the potential to cause economic problems the likes of which haven't been seen since the 1930's. These twenty domestic and foreign policy problems will give the new resident of the White House many sleepless nights.     Item 1: 100/barrel oil- The US economy is based on cheap oil and can not sustain 100/barrel oil prices without causing inflation or

What the hell?

I know the whole dating game is just that a game. A way to find out what interests us, and what we can definately live with out. That said, why do we feel intimidated by people we find interesting? Under that intimidation, why do we take the next thing? Why not just soldier through and grow a set or two and ask the person we find interesting out?   My sister has this hot and cold crush on the guy that works down the way. She is too affraid to move things along, fearing rejection I guess. I can

What's the sitches, bitches?

HAHAHAHA! I heard that last night on the comedy channel and was hysterical for a good five minutes afterwards... although in my defense, I was exhausted and had just spent nine hours in a grocery store.   So, I spent the day doing nothing, so far anyway. I managed to get Ventrilo installed and got Davey to come, too and then they all teamed up on me... but I can handle it it's pretty cool. I talked to Adrian Michaels, Rakuten, Lost Cause, Tob, and Davey for a while. It was pretty easy to in

Mercury Messenger's First Look

Here is Messenger's first look at Mercury: the first pictures since Mariner 10 made three fly bys in 1974 and 1975.   It is believed that Mercury's surface has been largely undisturbed since the Solar Systems late bombardment phase ~4-5 billion years ago.   Over the next few months Messenger will settle in to an orbit of Mercury and will stay there for extended studies of the planet.

He really hates me

...I didn't realize that until tonight.   So everyone remember the friend former friend who ended our relationship coldly and completely with a letter? Well, it sucked alot, and it hurt like hell, as I'm sure you've all gathered from my blogs. It didn't help that the events transpired while I was physically as sick as I've been in years, and shortly before I quit my job and broke up with my boyfriend. In fact I think there's some old adage somewhere about striking someone with your foot whi

This should be fun

A week or so ago, I was chatting with Mike about how I was a morning person, and quite happy to be one. Aside for a couple years (ages 15-19), I've been getting up earlier than my peers and enjoying that sort of existence. It was really great when I was going to college, and summer mornings it could seem like no one for about a mile was up at 7 am except for me.   And now my work has switched me to a 7pm to 7am schedule, meaning I have now joined the dark side.   Except I haven't, really. I'

In the end

...only kindness matters. These are words to live by.   People are not inherently kind. We're a twisted, complicated bunch. We hurt others. We disappoint others. We always believe that the hurt we cause is greatly out-weighed by the hurt we go through. I don't think this is the case.   But I think it's okay to hurt. It's a part of life, a learning experience that spurs empathy and helps us reevaluate our circumstances. Does this mean we should hurt others to help them grow and ma

Need to laugh

Okay, so I'm grasping a straws, willing to do anything to pull the slightest tee-hee out of the air, even if it means stealing a cartoon from another blogger, even if it means resorting to a dog joke.   I have not worked on the Kevin project.   I can barely get anything done.   I have to force myself to do the simplest things.   I am getting better, though.   I'm not plagued with fits of unstoppable yawning. I'm not feeling drugged into submission.   I am tired, though.   So, I loo

Mercury Messenger

NASA's Messenger (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) probe made its first fly-by of Mercury today and over the next few months will settle into orbit for an extended study of the planet.   Messenger is the first probe to visit Mercury since Mariner 10 back in 1975.   Because of its position in the solar system, Mercury is very unique planet. Constantly seared by heat and radiation from the sun, the chemistry of Mercury has been skewed. All of the volitile elements

Duane's Depressed

I don't know how many of you have read Larry McMurtry's final installment of the Thalia trilogy, which began with The Last Picture Show and Texasville, but like Duane Moore, I am now sans motor vehicle.   I will not be driving for at least the next month; or, until the little green men stop jumping out in front of the vehicle.   I went to a therapist today and I'm on the road to recovery, yet again.   The Celexa is causing a lot of yawning and drowsiness and I'm only taking a half dose.

so, at dinner tonight...

We were eating, and my son does this snap thing with his fingers while having some ridiculous, but harmless, one-upping contest with my daughter and Rich says, "Was that a gay snap? Like, is that one of his OGT's?"   So this is me tattling on him for using an acronym properly and knowing what it means   Then we had to discuss the difference in snaps, like 50's jive snapping versus the 'FABULOUS' snap... and it was just really f**king funny!   Besides that...

Finding the Good

I lie to myself, with all my assertions that i am happy. Do not get me wrong I am for the most part, but saying I am happy and not mentioning some of the things that really bother me is, in itself, a form of fibbing no? I'm currently sitting in a broom closet of an office at a Job I have grown to dispise over the last several months. There where promises, and then out right lies.   Evrything has boiled down to the point where everything I, or the rest of the management team, do is second gues

Still depressed

So, this is the deal, "I'm still depressed."   Also, "I'm not driving."   If we need to go anywhere, the wife does the driving. Quite frankly, I'm scared to death I might veer off and do something stupid.   I'm going to a therapist Monday morning. Hopefully, we'll be able to determine whether I should stay away from the big trucks for awhile.   I'm also very tired and I'm having trouble writing on the Kevin project, which I need to be working on because The Pastel Cowboy is almost finish

Redneck Cheesehead?

So I've decided to move back to Missouri once again at the end of the school year. I talked to my mom and told her I was basically miserable here and couldn't stand going to a school that I hated where I didn't learn anything. She agreed to let me go to UMKC next year and major in Computer Science instead. The only downside is that I'll have to live at home for at least a little while until I can save up enough to move out. Of course, I'm not going to tell her I plan on moving out until I do it,

Down

I hate being between antidepressants. It's so depressing.   I have no energy. I have little interest.   Yet, I did work on my first 2008 anthology story. It's almost done. I wanted to get it out of the way. I think most of it was done when the Wellbutrin was still active. It's gone, now, and I've been on Celexa for two days, but not long enough to make a difference.   The Kevin project has turned in a practical rewrite. I wrote a prologue that redefines the character and I think makes him

getting textual and save a horse, ride a cowboy...

So Joey is the man today. My hero! The one with the gigantic... brain that he uses for good and not evil... mostly I made a myspace a while back so I could see pictures of my nephew, but I hardly ever use it, and when I showed it to Jeff, he said it was girly... which I am, and it was... so anyway, I tried to make it cooler looking and ended up screwing it all up... big surprise so I talked my cowboy into fixing it for me.

Movie Madness

Once upon a time movies were original. Many were adaptations of novels, short stories or plays. Sadly- times have changed.   Many of todays movies are regurgitations of successful movies of yesterday.   This Christmas season, there were four BIG movies that were re-writes in part or in total. The one that did the best, Will Smith's I Am Legend was a post-apocalyptic horror story, re-did Charlton Heston's Omega Man of the seventies which was in turn based on a novel. Wil Smith's version of th

Back to Celexa

I called my doctor today and we had a telephone consultation because he's the best doctor in the clinic and you have to be practically bleeding from several wounds to get a same day appointment with him. I figure we could do all the necessary shit over the phone. It helps, too, that, while he is probably only a few years older than me, he's not all that cute, but he isn't uncute either, but he's not my kind of guy, sort of.   Okay, I don't have the hots for my doctor, but I could, maybe.   H

Prejudice

I do not see you as a colour.   I do not care where you were born.   I respect your religion but I will not think about you in terms of it.   I do not judge you based on the neighbourhood you live in.   I am sensitive of your disability but I will not exclude you because of it, nor will I allow you to use it as a permanent excuse.   I will not respect you any more or less solely because of your education level.   I will assume responsibility of exactly one half of all communica

A little black rain cloud

A few entries ago, I identified California's seasons as being: Tourist, Fire, Holiday Shopping, and Mudslide. Lo and behold, a mere week after the last throes of shopping had faded, the sky opens up and drops more rain on us in two days than we've had in the last six months.   I was supposed to go visit my parents this "weekend" (which, this week, was today and yesterday), but tmy parents live in a rural area. An area that is pristine in its natural beauty, and has roads that flood out at the
