If Obama really wants to win in November

There's only one choice for his VP pick. Hopefully, he's smart enough to know what he has to do and who he has to run with.     I can't imagine that Obama could find a better running mate than Senator Jim Webb. There's nothing the republicans can say about Senator Webb's patriotism, his honorable military service or his executive experience. This man is a real American hero, and if there are any doubters out there, check this out.....   Webb received the Navy Cross for actions on July 10,

Bottoming Out (and no this is not a sexual reference)

These days I am feeling profoundly depressed. I just don't know how I can take it much longer. Everything in my life seems to be a complete wreck. I feel as though I am next to nothing, as though every thing I touch just turns to sh*t. I think I really need to get to a doctor soon, or I don't know what will happen. This time seems even worse than the time when I was in my teens, but not quite as bad as the episode during my early 20's. Still, it does not seem to subside at all. Right now I don't

Weatherby, OR

Weatherby isn't much more than a Rest Area on I-84 and a siding on the UP mainline to Portland/Seattle (a mixed freight is chugging up the hill right now).   So, why am I writing this entry?   I'm supposed to leave in 15 minutes. (It's now 15 minutes ago; been writing for a bit.)   I'm goin to be home tonight. Yipee!   Bonita will pee with excitement.   The wife will get a hug and a peck on the lips. She might complain about my lack of romantic involvement. I love her, but not THAT way

Chaotic... A tiger currently without a homeland

I just deleted the entry about a hiatus. It looks like that will not be the case. I am currently out of the Land of Oz, because now the electricity at home is off completely. KCPL did come out and fix what they needed to fix. However, we cannot get into contact with the electrician at present. This means that I will be staying in Missouri for a day or two. In fact, I am there right now. Thus, I am away from my homeland. I really want this nightmare to be over. I want to be able to go home and ha

Counting Carbs

I sometimes will post some of the articles at my site The Talon House.   How good are your carb counting skills? Take this quiz and find out... more>   I took this quiz to see how well I'd do since I count carbs as part of my daily treatment.   Breakfast: 1/4 Lunch 4/4 Dinner 2/4   Try you luck and see how well you do and post your results.

The Donor Got Jacked

My mother told me something extremely interesting and more than just a little hilarious today. As you all well know, I do not like my sperm-donor. Well, karma has bitten him squarely upon the ass, and it made me giggle.   He was robbed recently.   He was at work (offshore) and his wife was not home.   They took EVERYTHING. A few items missing:   -.45 pistol -Big screen TV -Computers -500 dollars in cash -Checks   Every drawer was up-ended. Every cabinet was raked bare. N

Wrong hard drive, you freakin' moron

Well, my writing is now at a stand-still. How I forgot about this, I am unsure. I have been using the desktop to store all my stories. While I had been backing up stories on the laptop, I had not done so recently. Recently, there have been issues at home where the electricity does not work properly because of the crazy people who once lived there. Now I have to wait for Kansas City Power and Light to fix the electricity before I can write again. So yes, the idiot would be me.

So what now?

Disclaimer: I'm writing this blog entry with about an hour's worth of sleep. One of my friends lost his dad last night, and along with the rest of our crew, I've been at his house off and on all night and morning. Please forgive me if I don't make any sense.   So Barrack Obama's the Democratic nominee for the year 2008. Hillary is out(though not technically), and everyone's wondering what's next. More specifically, everyone wants to know if Obama will pick wild Hillary to be his VP. Well gues

Damn Sex in the City!

...For making Cosmos trendy! I've never even seen a single episode of the show, and I've been drinking that drink for years. Now this movie comes along and suddenly I look like every other gay boi in Houston when I order one!   William was even drinking them the other night! That's not his drink! He's supposed to drink red bull and vodka! (mind you, given what a dangerous combo that is for one's heart I'm glad he did switch in that respect)   This simply will not do! Until further not

Anger Management: Party Of 1

Ah now everyone here and comfortable? too damn bad!!   So what can you do when you feel like a bomb thats dangerously close to exploding? I've found that well placed glares work best.   and the best part? The madder you get and hold it the more menacing the glare gets until people are struggling to get away from you.   Now before you say anything I know you shouldnt keep your anger in and its harmful to your health and all that other crap.   I just wanted to maintain my little piece(p

Pigs!

I'm at a pork processing plant waiting to be invited in to get my load. I've been here since 0700 this morning. I was a little late due to weather, but it's been six hours of waiting so far.   And, time not wasted either.   I finished Chapter 8 and sent Chapter 6 to the elves for processing. I suspect Chapter 6 will not go over very well. It deals with sexual situations that have not been too popular here at GA. Oh, well, such is life as seen through dirty lenses.   The only constant thing

Everyone's nicer than me

Just a bit worn out and kinda stressed.   I feel like I've been really ignoring all my friends and family for the past week or so. Haven't intentionally meant to, but the busier I get the more I just want to be by myself when I'm not busy. So basically it comes down to less time in general AND less desire to be with people. Anyway, as a result I feel like I have some serious catching up to do with people.   Speaking of which I'm meeting Ryan for lunch today. Now is such a phenomenally ba

Des Moines

I've been getting around quite a bit lately. No long trips, which pay gobs of money. Just short day trips that you hope to have enough to add up to a paycheck. The drawback is I don't have extra time. I'm busier than heck for 11 to 14 hours and then all I want to do is sleep so I can do the same thing the next day.   Finally, I've been given a breather. I delivered this morning and don't pick up my next load until tomorrow morning. Then it's a long four days west. It looks like I might make it

The End of the Road

From the look of things, Hillary Clinton is at the end of the road, so to speak. We can only hope that in this case, the end of the road also means the end of her political career, as it seems she won't be the president of the United States. She doesn't need New York anymore, and while she may run for re-election, I can't see her being re-elected. Her ugly side was on full display for all to see this year, and boy was it ugly.   My guess is that Obama and McCain are going to have a close elec

Moodiness

I have a bad habit of being moody and taking it out on people. Then when I realize what an insensitive ass I have been, if find myself wanting to do whatever I can to make up for what I say and do to make up for it. I just wish I didn't have moods like this. I really feel bad afterwards. It's not like I really mean to say stuff that's so mean. It just happens. I am far from perfect, but I do know how to be nice to people. I just wish I could be nice more often. The things I say out of anger or w

lol x 7500000000000000

So Barack Obama is having more pastor issues, or I guess in this case, it's priest issues. Either way, I don't think that this guy said anything bad at all, and I find his rant on Hillary especially hilarious. I don't think I can ever get enough of him acting out his version of what happened in Iowa when Hillary broke down and cried     http://youtube.com/watch?v=EBvYICKJ3TI

Overwhelmed

First off, I wanted to let everyone know that Buy Me A Drink Chapter 2: One for Later is now up. Thanks to everyone who read and commented on chapter 1 (and thanks to everyone who only read and didn't comment, but if you get a chance please feel free to! ). If you haven't checked the story out please give it a look!     Anyway, I had that second date with Ryan. It was really nice, we had coffee, went for a walk in the rain (the 'in the rain' part wasn't exactly intentional ), then we h
