Election Burn Out
Sick. Tired. All of the Above
I’m not sure if I’ve ever had election burn out like I have right now
(Um, that’s eLection burn out…)
Sure, I’ve got a vested interest in a certain candidate, and I very much dislike the other. Yet, I know that no matter who wins, the world will keep on turning. Honestly, I have more fears of the Pelosi gang than either presidential candidate. I don’t foresee either McCain or Obama destroying this country in the next 4 years, but Congress is another story.
Anyhow… I’m just ready for the end. This campaign has been going on for over 2 years now. On November 4th I’ll stand in line like everyone else, make neat little patterns on the touch-screen voting machine, then go home and relax.
Oh, yeah, and if one particular candidate wins, I’ll also pull all of my money out of the stock market and tuck it safely under my mattress, because I already know what his policies will do to the business and investment world.
But like I said, the world will keep on turning. And at least there wont be any more campaigning. You know, at least for 24 months, when it starts all over again.

Its Your Business
If You Want It
Sunday’s are so depressing… Another weekend flies by way too quickly, then back to the office for another 50 plus hour week. I really need to find a great small business opportunity soon.
Granted, I’d still be working on Monday. In fact, I’d likely be working the weekend as well. But, at least I’d be working for myself and not just helping my boss pay for that new addition on his house.

Productivity
Depends How You Define It
I still don’t understand why my productivity doesn’t increase when I add more computer memory to my laptop like I just did recently.
Oh, sure, Spore plays much smoother and provides a much more enjoyable experience. Heck, there’s even a nice improvement in Civilization IV and Sims 2.
On the other hand, uninstalling the games might very well be the most direct way to increase productivity.

Update From The Zoo
We Still Love Tori
Thanks to Christina for reminding me about the Florida animals - known around the world for the beating of our favorite high school cheerleader. These scumbags have also been referred to here on Blog About Nothing as the Florida “Punks”, “Dumbasses”, “Pigs” and a few other choice names that you’ll just have to read again to learn my true feelings about these, um, precious little snowflakes.
Trust me, I’ve actually held back much of what I was thinking.
Anyhow…
The news is - no real news, yet.
The criminal cases against Brittini Hardcastle (18), Mercades Nichols (17), Kayla Hassall (15), April Cooper (15), and Brittany Mayes (17), continue to move forward, slowly, as they face charges of battery and kidnapping related to the beating. Nichols, Mayes and Hardcastle also face a charge of tampering with a witness.
All five are out on bail.
No trial dates have been set, however pretrial hearings are slated for November 18, 2008.
In a shock a revolation to absolutely nobody whatsoever, Brittini Hardcastle’s lawyer has requested that her client’s curfew be extended so… no, wait… (…drum roll…) she can attend church two nights a week.
Church?
If anyone chooses to believe in an invisible wizard who lives in the sky, I fully support that - no matter which version of that wizard they choose to believe in. But, don’t you think that He gets very perturbed that most of His followers come to Him while awaiting sentencing for some heinous crime that may lead to life in prison?
I mean, you never find non-believers out there picking flowers in a meadow on a sunny day, watching the butterflies flutter amongst the delicate petals, and all of a sudden announce that they now believe in God and will be committing to a life of goodness.
Nope. Instead, the shining light - apparently - only comes to you after you’ve completely fucked up your life.
I don’t know, if I were God, this would just really piss me off. Hmmm… Maybe that’s why He created Ebola.
Well, I hate to break the news to you Brittini, but I have pretty direct contact with God and He’s told me that he’s not interested in your soul.
Sorry, Brittini, this is your new god:

Foot Fetish
And OCD
I have foot cancer.
OK, maybe it’s Plantar Fasciitis.
Oh, sure, I could be overreacting. But, my foot hurts – so it has to be “something”.
I did step in a hole when I was mowing. But, no… That couldn’t be it. Well, I guess it could be.
On the other hand, maybe stepping in the hole only hurt my foot because of the Plantar Fasciitis… Or the foot cancer.
Maybe I should just stop reading about various ailments and diseases on the Internet.

Corvette Summer
Now I Need One
My neighbor got a new car cover.
I really don’t like him anymore.
Actually, it’s not about the car cover. It’s the Corvette that is being protected by it.
Oh, sure, he’s been driving and old piece of junk for the past 8 years, so he did save up for it. And, he does work from his home so the price of gas isn’t relevant.
But, still, this is enough reason to not like him.

What Happens In Vegas
Stays In Vegas
Hopefully, for life.
Am I the only one that has absolutely no sympathy for OJ Simpson now that he’s been convicted of a dozen charges on felony crimes committed in Las Vegas?
I suspect not.
Hopefully he’ll get the full life term that he is now subject to. We’ll see. As we all know, it’s amazing how money can buy freedom.
I have no doubt that, somewhere, Nicole is smiling.

If It Isn’t Broken
Replace It Anyhow
Sometimes I really hate being OCD.
Such simple tasks always tend to evolve into major life-altering events.
Somehow, my daughter knocking down a shower curtain rod – which could have been fixed in 30 seconds – has evolved into a major bathroom renovation, with new shower faucets, wallpaper removal, new paint, new grout in the wall tiles, and new sink faucets.
Ironically, the new shower curtain has yet to be installed.

Still The Same
Some Things Never Change
It’s really strange that while I never grow any older, other people around me keep appearing younger.
I swear that several of my daughter’s school teachers are teenagers. When I met them I fully expected to see acne treatment and packs of bubble gum on their desks.
Thankfully, I’ve been locked into this incredible time warp for quite a few years now and haven’t aged in the slightest.
That’s my story at least, and I’m sticking with it.

Reading Is Believing
What About Listening?
Are audio books considered “cheating”?
You know, if you listen to downloadable audio books during your commute, for example, can you legitimately say “oh, I read that book!”?
Since they are word-for-word versions, it seems that you should be able to. It’s not like watching a movie that was based on a book (and never as good).
Audio books are a great way to pass time while driving, so either way I’ll continue to read… um… listen to them.
