Just a little rambling

Some thoughts for Feb. 14, 2013......

If you are a cop you should be physically fit.  Not the guy who walked into the coffee shop just now and could not bend down to get an item from the open air cooler.  The job is to serve and protect, not eat and sit. 

What is this Harlem Shake thing?  I have seen it.  I don't get it.  Looks like a flash mob on crack.  No really, it is stupid.  

Harlem Stew, on the other hand, is delicious and can be found at Red Rooster in Harlem. 

I really wish my parents taught me how to throw a knuckleball.  Cause I would enjoy Spring Training right now.  You know, getting paid to play a boy's game in warm weather. 

So the Olympic sprinter with no legs allegedly shot his girlfriend.  You would think he would be happier, you know, overcoming all those obstacles and all.  Having a model girlfriend despite not having legs.  I should think he would treat her better.  

Speaking of the Olympics - no more wrestling?  What's that all about?  Oh, yeah.  Money. Enjoy the ancient Roman sport of golf though.  

I was running really well and then this week I was terrible.  Oh well, no use crying over milk that was spilled, we'll just bump it up next week.  

Please 8 pound, 6 ounce Baby Jesus.  Please let me get an apartment in the city soon.  Very soon.  I dislike this commute.  So. Very. Much. 

Time for a new lap top.  This one no longer plays sound.  I don't like that. 

I wish more people would buy My Sober Year.  Those who read it seem to like it.  

Reading six books right now.  Maybe I should focus on one and finish it.  That would make far too much sense. 

How about this weather?  Phew.  Makes you want to live in Siberia.  Oh, wait?  It doesn't?  OK, Moscow, a cultural center.  

I need a vacation.  On a beach.  One where I can wear a Speedo.  Ok, I'm joking there, but I want it to be an option.  

I think I lost my favorite hat.  That would suck.

My taxes are going to be a mess this year.  I am scared.  Why can't they be more simplified.  It isn't a Republican or Democrat issue, it is an IRS issue.  

I shaved.  Oh yeah...loving the naked face feel.  And really hoping the beard grows back fast.

Why Dry January Sucks -

Each year for the last ten or so I attempt to do some form of holiday excess cleanse.  This isn't unique.  I have read a lot about different experiences people have had with not drinking for 31 days to start the year and they are all the same and very different than mine.  So here goes - This is my experience with not drinking for the month of January.  Ok, so maybe not the entire month... 1.  I woke up the morning of January 1st 2021 and....made myself a mimosa.  So right off the bat, dry January fail.  Whatever, we had leftover champagne and not so fresh OJ in the fridge.  This was me dedicating myself to being less wasteful in the new year.   2. As soon as I had that first drink, what the hell, football was on, may as well head to the corner store for a six pack and a pack of smokes and really get after it.  Please note, I do not smoke, it is just an expression.  3. I head to the corner store to buy some Powerball tickets and another six pack.  I walk back in 20 minutes later wi

Oprah, Arby's, Do Not Disturb

Life has been relatively amazing the last few months.  I decided to take some time off to travel, visit with friends & family, and to write/work on some creative projects/focus on the next career move.  A few thoughts: 1. When I am driving down the highway and I haven't seen an Arby's for a hundred miles.  I will say to myself, "Where the fuck is the Arby's?"  That said, I visited an Arby's that was OUT OF ROAST BEEF.  It was the low point of the last 4 months.  2. The movie "The Big Short" is listed under the "Comedy" section on Netflix.   Can we all agree that is a sick joke of some sort?  Yes, the movie has a few zingers in it, but a movie about millions of people going broke and losing their homes is not what I would consider "funny".   3. I'm not saying I want Oprah to run for president, but I certainly wouldn't bet against her.  Her ability to connect is what Hillary lacked.   Oprah is great an

We Have All Lost Our Minds

I was having a conversation last night where the words, "Each day is worse than the last" were spoken.  I'm not sure that I'm there quite yet, but whoa.... we are at an 11 and need to get down to maybe a 4.  I am friends with people from a whole lot of walks of life.  Some incredibly liberal and others incredibly conservative.  There is one underlying theme that I can see in both sides.  They absolutely, 100%, without question, think the other side is wrong and they are right.  It is tough to watch what is happening to this country.  Nevermind the fact that we are living in this turmoil daily. I would ask my conservative friends - was life so bad under Obama?  Do you genuinely feel that he was trying to hurt you and your family?  I really don't.  You may disagree with his policies, but the entire idea of wanting to end two wars, keeping the economy upright, not wanting our planet to melt, and getting people healthcare isn't exactly a reason to hate the guy.
