It is November

Just some thoughts........

There isn't anything that can be said about this coming election that have no already been written.  I think I will join the chorus of "wake me when it is over" and "I'm voting for Hilary, but I don't like it."

It does strike me as odd that all of these conservative leaning folks are defending Trump.  The guy is the least conservative human being around.  How many girls do you think he has paid to "get it taken care of"?  Putting the over/under at 6.5
When has he even fought for the little guy?  When has he ever been a good human being?  When has his life ever been about anyone other than himself?  
It is really sad that we are here.  That we can't find someone better than the Clinton machine and a guy who, with a fair amount of certainty, will start WWIII.  


Never thought I would say this, but where is Mitt Romney when you need him?


Other musings of mine.........

Good for you Cubs.  Can Steve Bartman be forgiven?  

Eddie Vedder looks damn good for 50.  Also, Eddie Vedder being 50 makes me feel old.  

Bill Murray knows how to party. 
So does Theo Epstein.  Saying "Are you fucking kidding me" on live TV makes me respect that guy's passion.  And his love of beer. 

The Red Sox looked good this postseason.  And by that I mean all of the former Red Sox who played this World Series. 

I want to meet the person who says, "I just love Day Light Savings!"  That person does not exist.  Never has, never will.  Just stop this madness once and for all. 

The NYC Marathon is tomorrow.  I am still recovering from the 2014 running of it.  Good luck to the maniacs running it. 

For the first time in my adult life I have a job where I am doing manual labor.  When I was in finance or marketing I would get done with the day and feel mentally exhausted, but couldn't fall asleep.  Now I hit the pillow and I'm done.  
It has been a real challenge to think in more of a mechanical fashion to solve problems.  The whole "using a wrench" thing was tough at first, but I seem to have gotten the hang of it.   
I have never been one to want a 9-5 desk job and this has pushed me to learn new things and take a different perspective.  It has been a refreshing challenge and a welcomed change.  

Today, I am going for a hike.  You know, to get less fat.

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.
