Wish Kat Dennings was my really good friend

So my new favorite TV show is 2 broke girls. I like this show because it finally has a show that is honestly rude. I really thing it is because it is making fun of the situations and not really making fun of the people in the situations. But it certainly does some of that too.

It is just so gloriously inappropriate. I think if I attempted to say much more I would just ruin it.

In other news, which isn’t really news but I’m going to call it news anyway is that it must have been freaking if you’ve been my client before show up at court today day. I swear if I can’t find clients anymore I’m hanging out at the court house they will show up. No seriously one in ten people walking in the doors were people I’ve had to work with before. I am more than a little surprised that I didn’t get slapped or called a bad name there. I think I may have been if I weren’t standing with an armed police man part of the time and the rest of the time sitting next to a guy who looks like he has been a guest of the DOC.

In other news that is really news coffee is awesome, I didn’t say it was current news.

Ok I’m keeping it short tonight and I might kill some avatars or watch some netflix what to do… what to do…

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Merry Happy Whatever Day

The holiday season is upon us and I’m having a hard time getting into the holiday season. I think part of it is that around this time of year there really are not any traditions that go along with the holiday. Well I did have one tradition and I am going to carry on with it which is the writing of letters to Santa from me to my kids. However they are both now at an age where they no longer believe and it has removed part of what I loved in doing that for them.

That magic may exist, an innocence that no matter what anything in the world is possible that reindeer can fly and that a portly elf has a magic bag that can hold enough prizes for everyone in the world, and there is a legendary fortress existed where few dare to live where toys of every shape and size were made.

Awesome little thought, sadly we all let that thought go. The really sad part isn’t that kids put away the notion of the elf and the reindeer. Many also loose the part that anything in the world is possible. Now it may not be magic that makes it possible but why can’t that be true.

I suppose it is for some people the real true believers, not in myth and legend but the believers in themselves. I can do it. They usually have a few people around them that say you can do it too. Or they are fueled by the haters who are saying no you can’t, and do it to say YES I CAN.

I think the thing that is keeping me out of the holiday spirit is the money thing, if nothing else 2011 as a year has shown the MONEY is the true religion in this world especially in the US. Sorry to get up on a soap box here but really it has taken over every part of our lives.

Most of the bills I pay are payments to banks I’m sure most of your bills are to banks as well. And if you consider that mortgage lenders are banks that specifically deal with one type of banking the loaning of money for property then apart from utilities and groceries all my money goes to banks.

The whole thing just consumes my joy and I think part it is that this is the high holy holiday for the god of money

The holiday is further driven apart by intolerance, one group so focused that the day isn’t recognized for the prescribed meaning. Which it isn’t really what the true purpose of this holiday was made up to do. And in that line of thought perhaps how we celebrate it by bowing down to corporate greed we are doing exactly what was intended. Which is to submit to the will of those above us. In case you lost me in my lack of being clear. The Church, and that would be Christianity decided that that pagans, any non Christian were still holding on to too many celebrations involving the winter solstice.

So it is decided that the Christian calendar would celebrate the birth of Jesus at the same time taking away the need for the pagan holiday. Because the census mentioned in the birth of Jesus story happened in the summer so in all likelihood Jesus was born in late August or early September not December. Problem there is the autumnal equinox is not a big deal and people were too busy with the harvest to celebrate too much and it what they did was mainly drink a lot once the harvest was pulled from the fields and stored for the winter. Then there is the preparing of the foods so they will last the months to come so every one is still too busy until winter when if you don’t have it done by now well it is too late phuck it lets celebrate a good year and hope for a better one to come.

Work and a better year to come by doing better work and perhaps smarter work is the true meaning of the holiday not the birth of anyone.

On the other side of it the intolerance of those who aren’t in the one group being offended by the other groups holiday and the sayings. When in Rome do as the Romans do. The US is a predominately Christian nation. The Christians celebrate Christmas, hell there name is in the holiday, made up or not it is there way of celebrating. Let them and if someone says Merry Christmas and you don’t subscribe to that being a real holiday so what. Let them say it and then say Happy Chanukah back to them, or Happy Kwanza or happy holidays, Happy Festivus or have a Cool Yule or just say thanks.

Now Christian doesn’t get attitude when those who are different than you fire back their holiday sayings …it’s about Tolerance. Not everyone thinks the same and it is a good thing we are not Borg, I’m not really a Trekie but it fits with a single thinking race, one thought for all. The thing is when some one says happy holidays or some other saying which is not merry Christmas lots of people get all bent and are like WTF OMG what a load of crap they we can’t have it our way. Dontcha know this is about the birth of Geebus goddabbit. Firetruck and stuff.

Take a deep breath because one, it isn’t and second it’s ok if people are different. And if your political governing body has a holiday festival and to be all inclusive of all people regardless of their faith and doesn’t call it a Christmas Festival its because they are political and not religious. Let your church have its own Christmas thing and then you know what because it’s a church the political people and everyone else can’t say you can’t call it that. Because you can, and you can say merry Christmas until your lips fall off.

Point is that we have to be more tolerant of each other and the counter argument to this is that if your political body has a festival this time of year and calls it a Christmas Festival and you aren’t Christian, like me, you can one not go, two except that this is Rome and the Romans will do as they please, or three have your own holiday function even if that holiday function is to do nothing. Now you may want to vomit every time you walk out the door or turn on any mass media thing but hey it’s the holidays if nothing else you get a day or two off from work. But don’t be the same hater that you hate and for the same reason of intolerance.

In other super happy fun time news my stupid dog howls all wolf like when the fire engines play their sirens like the fire trucks are part of a pack that she needs to communicate with. Being that I live very near a fire station it happens a lot. I don’t mind that she does this because I know that wolves are not going to show up on my door step, I worry that my neighbors might because she bays really loudly. They haven’t yet but if they do, I might just say well she’s a wolf what do expect, she isn’t nearly big enough to be a wolf and looks a little special and by special I mean a bit slow in the thought processing area, but she is pretty.



Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Adventures in Shopping

Last Saturday Doodle and I went shopping for the holidays. Now you may be thinking have you finished all your shopping for her yet? The answer to your general inquiry is, No. See the way the whole shopping for Doodle for the holidays works is that she will do one of the following

One, She will just go shopping with you and just wander around and put things in the cart she likes which is what we did Saturday

Two she will email you a list of all the stuff she wants complete with links to where on the internet you will find said items. Which is very helpful.

The last way is that she will buy all the things she wants and gives you the receipt and the items for wrapping or if she really wants the item right now the receipt so it can be wrapped. Which she opens and then goes oh yeah I love that present.

I like the last two options but the first one is my favorite because we get to spend time together. She says the same thing.

This last adventure of shopping was event filled. I saw lots of co-workers out doing their shopping. We had a horrible time in one store finding anyone to help us.

Doodle is one to speak her mind and in one place she wanted one thing which they did not have in the store, and once we were able to find a person to help us they told her the thing she wanted was only available on line. To which she said something like well nice that you put a sign up.

Which played out with me looking at the sign for said thing and the particular style she wanted said on line only but very faintly but it was there.

Then Doodle was like Oh, well then I guess you are right. Which I’m not sure if she was flirting with the sales boy or not. I mean he wasn’t unattractive but I just don’t like to think about her mac-ing on boys in front of me, and I don’t like seeing boys mac-ing on her… it’s a Dad thing. To us they are always little girls and no matter how old she gets there is always a part of me that sees her in the little white cowboy boots, Jeans shorts and pink shirt and that oversized backpack off to her first day of school.

So we soon left that store and on to the next one, the mac-ing part is important for this part of the story.

We are making good progress in this store and I got to hang out in parts of stores that I don’t usually go into. Yup the girl sections, now I’m an adult about this and when I’m in a relationship and the partner says oh hey you need to pick up this or that girl product I’ll do it and don’t think twice about it. Not sure why some guys won’t buy that stuff. But make up and that stuff is confusing and they generally don’t ask you to do that shopping. I just figured it magically replenished at the house because I never saw it being bought.

However, this store ended up having another shopper who was enthralled with Doodle and would not take her eyes off of her. I was like wow who knew. This particular stalker was a girl who was perhaps 16 maybe 17 and she literally could not keep from staring at Doodle. Doodle was completely oblivious to the whole thing until I said I think you have a fan. And she looked over and saw the girl staring. At first she said no, she isn’t looking at me until 15 minutes later and she is still gawking. Doodle is like do they think you can’t see them looking at you?

When we were leaving that area we had to walk right toward Doodles fan girl and she stared hard the whole time until the fast two feet when she turned 180 degrees so she could watch her walk away. Of course she was burning holes into Doodles back. I know this because I looked over from the register and she was still looking.

Hopefully she gets this whole stare down thing under control and isn’t so obvious about checking people out. I mean looking if ok but really take a picture it does last a little longer and in this day and age you can do that with a ton of devices and then you can walk around the corner and decide if you have a good photo or not and if you do stare to your hearts content.

In case you are keeping count that would be Doodle 2, invisible don 0…Yup nobody was stalking me at any of the stores. Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I’ll go eat worms.

In other news.

Stunt boy and I were at his dental appointment yesterday and they were all amazed at how tall he is getting these days. Which he is, so next year the Jay and Silent Bob thing might work as a Halloween thing. Hopefully by then I won’t fit my part as well


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

Just a bunch of random stuff

So I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and the topic came up that I may not be normal.

This came up via a statement, “Have you tried being normal, it might help.”

To which I replied, “No”

But I really I don’t consider myself as not normal. I think I am more on the opposite fringe but certainly not in the middle of conventional but not un conventional either.

Lost is more likely a better classification. Although I’m right in the middle of a crowd.

Then I wonder, what is it that makes people perceive me as not normal. I mean I don’t think I look all that odd, and I certainly have a very conservative wardrobe, I don’t even have exotic pets. You know just the regular dogs and cats.

Still there must be something that stands out because it’s a pretty common theme that people who know me will say, dude you are not right.

(insert me shrugging with a chagrin)

In other super happy fun time news

I will be bringing back the WTF Wednesday segments so that should be fun.

In other just ordinary normal type news

I am about a third to perhaps 40 percent complete on all of my holiday shopping, so yay for that.

I finished watching the whole series of Caprica, which I really liked and I’m not sure if they are doing more of those … I hope they do.

I also finished watching all of the Jericho series. I’ll talk more about that one later and see if I get any NSA hits

I think I’m going to start watching the Stargate SGU series

I love netflix if you didn’t catch on but now I think I’m going to go kill some avatars or have people kill my avatar. The latter is usually how that goes.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

baby fever

So recently there has been baby fever going around the work place.

People having babies like it is a contagion … seriously

Everybody is having babies… well not everybody but a lot

Which generally brings about the whole men are such wimps humanity would have gone extinct long ago if it were up to men to have the babies.

I really don’t like this thinking, A… because it is sexist and I don’t deal it out so I don’t expect to take any B… it is simply not true. And before you wheel out the femi-nazi torture wagon I’ll explain.

First and I know you women will agree. Men are just stupid. It is true we just aren’t smart when it comes to this sort of stuff. We won’t buy the very simplest form of birth control and use it now. Do you think we would remember to take a pill everyday? Hell do you think we would ever get to the doctor to have them prescribed? Yeah, we don’t go to doctors and we wouldn’t start just because we got pregnant.

Second, we like sex too much and coupled with not being on birth control means lots of getting pregnant. We just would and we wouldn’t get better even with counseling. We will have sex if we are dying… getting a little pregnant isn’t going to be a real turn off.

Third men will make a game out of everything. Do you really think getting knocked up would be any different? No, lots of men already consider sex a game, getting pregnant would just go right along with that. I got pregnant within 5 minutes of my ovulation. I bet I can do it in three. You’re on. Sad thing is, you know it’s true.

Not only would we be making a game out of who could get pregnant the fastest. We would see who could have the most kids, the biggest kid, fastest birth, longest birth, longest pregnancy

Men would be bragging oh hell I was pregnant for 11 months, just held that little bastard in there and wouldn’t let him out. OH yeah My kid was in me so long he could walk when he came out.

Yes we are big wimps when we get sick or pass a kidney stone but if there is pride on the line we will suck up all sorts of pain and not utter a sound

Simply put we are not a responsible bunch and if the baby making bit was up to us the world would be so over populated it wouldn’t be funny and the humans would become extinct not because we just died out due to dwindling numbers. It would because there just wasn’t enough food on the planet to feed all the people.

So see it is probably for the best that you are the ones having the babies and not us.




Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

It's all connected trust me

When you want something bad enough you see it all around you. You notice the little subtle nuances of it everywhere. You loose focus on every thing else around you. Good or bad it makes no difference, nothing is as important as the thing you want.

Then you have to wonder can everyone read it on you, or smell the desperation of wanting that one thing? Do you radiate that thing you want?

Other people want the same things that you want and maybe just as badly. However we don’t make easy on the other seekers.

The thing too is that I’ve been trying to find this thing for a while now. The thing is now I’m not sure what it is that I want anymore. Do I want the truly organic thing or do I just want the prepackaged predictable thing.

A truly virtual world would be awesome, I know I would be a person addicted to that sort of thing. I can give or take the MMORPG things because there isn’t really a sensory aspect to those worlds.

Total immersion into a virtual place, then depending on the parameters the laws of physics, gravity, all the pesky things that keep you from really enjoying your full potential could be altered to allow things to be different there and more in your control.

Isn’t that really the thing that scares us all about anything we seek is not being in control.

But really we delude ourselves into the idea that we have control in the first place. Sure we set our alarms to wake us up as a particular time but we don’t control time it moves on without a seconds thought about you.

We can get in a plane but we can’t really fly or thumb our noses at gravity.

You may even burn something up but all you have done is change how those particles exist and you haven’t really destroyed anything

Yes you may have deprived someone of how they liked the current arrangement of those particles but they still exist just in a less desirable form.

We even invent governing structures, political, economic, moralistic, to feel that we control the world around us.

But we don’t have any control over any of it. Our minds are free to do as we please but we convince ourselves we aren’t free that someone else has the control

Unfortunately other’s believe that the some are in control and help them enforce these invented rules that serve in most cases not the best for mankind but what is best for a particular set of men. I mean all people men and women not just the male gender when I say men. It can mean different things. Don’t be so literal all the time. See it’s like this when I say oh she is dating some loser. If I’m talking about someone who I have real chance of dating he probably is a loser. If I’m talking about Ashley Greene from the Twilight series and say she is dating some loser I mean some hugely successful guy who has it more together than me and I don’t stand a chance of replacing him so rather than feel inferior outwardly I’m just gonna say he’s a loser and it makes me feel better. You probably understand all the hate the Beib gets now too. So not the point though.


The thing is we are really our biggest obstacles, we get in our own way, we get in the way of other peoples dreams all for the fear that we won’t reach our own if someone else gets theirs. And sometimes we think we want a thing but we really may not want it as much as we think we do. Why do you want what you want, really and truly, You can tell me I’m a good secret keeper.

Wow this jumps to more places than my ADHD dog trying to get at a squirrel.


Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely

They do it all the time

I wonder some times why it is that I find myself in the particular situation I am in currently. Then I’m reminded that some of my choices certainly contribute to the current state of affairs. I am sorry I can not be clearer than that because it isn’t entirely my right to discuss such things.

So Bruce and I sit around and discuss these things and I really don’t want to be there with Bruce because nothing ever changes and the stories are all told before.

Today was muthersday, that day of the month when you pay all the muther fuckers you owe money too. I don’t particularly like this day of the month. In fact I really hate this day of the month. Because I am reminded that as much as I want to change the afore mentioned situation the muthersday cards I have to send out bimonthly really prevent any real change. Or at least not in any meaningful way until I am completely invisible then of course it won’t matter at all.

I could stop sending my muthersday cards which I know a good many people who have done this and you know what they aren’t any worse off, nothing happens to them. Nothing, they don’t loose their jobs, they don’t loose their friends, they keep most of their things. Nothing changes in their lives. And it’s not just those who stop sending in their muthersday cards. But its also all the muther fuckers who just don’t give a fire truck about those people sending in all the muthersday cards and will be like you know because this other jack off didn’t send in their muthersday card you’ll have to give us more in your next muthersday card. Which really makes me not like all the muthers and the muthers who are not sending in their cards too.

I am not sure which group I don’t like more, it really is a toss up. Because the non card senders are really just doing exactly what all the muthers are doing, just not as creatively.


In other super happy fun time news.

There isn’t any super happy fun time news the muthers took all my fun today.

Maybe I’ll have some tomorrow.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely
