Good times are here again

So it’s a new week. A better week. A busy week that is bringing numerous waves of both paranoia and triumph. Hello all thanks for stopping by.

Divorce

So it was bound to happen. The Democratic Party finally proved that as long as you just complain enough you don’t need to actually have a real vision to come into power. I am both happy and disillusioned with my party. Maybe politics in general, however the Republican Party had to go. Now there is an example of loosing your vision. Maybe they were just missing that under dog scrappiness they had for so many years. I do know that if a ruling representative body promises a variety of topics yet only actually achieves a few it’s only a matter of time before their constituents decide not to make the trip to the polls. Honestly though if the Democrats had not won I think they should have just dissolved the party. If you couldn’t win under these circumstances you truly have been exposed or should I say identified as a party without an agenda. I’m not saying that we actually do have an agenda aside from Republican hatred but I guess we ran under the “its nice when other folks get a chance” motto.

I had a really clever analogy to go along side America divorcing the Republican party and Britney Spears dumping KFed but.. I am lazy so here are some cliff notes.

• KFed knew all along that he was on borrowed time
• Fiscal responsibility
• Britney has not aged well
• War in Iraq
• Who will protect the children
• A leather chaps wearing midget eating ice cream out of his hand
• Text to inform of divorce and the chance of voter fraud
• In the end it will just make some lawyer happy

Bears

Nothing better than a statement game by whupping a good team in their own home. I’ve been stating it weeks but if you are not watching this team you will miss out on valuable high fives and beer. Week 13 is the official last week of band wagon jumping. If you’re not on by then be prepared to have some drunken Irishman call you a poser. That drunken Irishman will be my friend Drew and he’s a mean drunk when he’s sober.

Theater

Have to say Borat is one of the few episodes of life where you could litteraly hear the audience gasping for air. I was also surprised by the makeup of audience. I expected the normal fair of college/post –college crowd that seems to dig the same films I do. However Borat was littered with… the elderly? I didn’t know how to feel and I made sure to observe their reactions during some of the more “risque” scenes. Having been a long term fan of the character I knew there was a lot more than what had been paraded around the local talk show circuit the last couple of weeks. Any who I predicted some walk outs but saw none so kudos to those who are old in the face but young at heart. Unfortunately now we are going to be subject to a host of imitators and comedies that will try to mesh real life with staged comedy.

Mike Tyson is better than you…

He can bite a mans ear off and still be interviewed as a rational human being. Oh and p.s. the man once owned white tigers and now he owns pigeons. All the while he’s still smiling. Mike is a role model for optimists.

Eternal Youth

So this weekend ends the anticipation as the new Nintendo Wii will become available to the retail public. For quite some time I had my leather hands clutched in anticipation for this device. However I had to blow my “fun” money on a new part for the heater which leads us to…

You know what grinds my gears….

You know what grinds my gears? The heating cooling industry. Why is it acceptable that a device that costs so much and that only gets used 4 months out of the year break down ever 3 – 5? My car I can accept I drive that thing to hell and back on a daily basis. But a heater? Seriously you get 8 months off each year how can a fan motor go bad with so little use? And it’s a FAN motor why would that cost me over 200 bucks? If it was that monster hunker that actually sits in the middle of the unit I could agree. That my friends looks like a 200 dollar part. But this fan motor seriously looks like it came right out of the back of a PC. Its mostly made of frickin plastic! How does that cost so much. Seriously I want to Bobby Knight this contraption and tell it to suck it up and get back to work. Thx for letting me get that out.

Final thoughts

1. Your opinion being valued at work has its value and its downside.
2. If you’re going to lunch with programmers don’t expect your sports analogy to ring home.
3. Apparently every thing in the world that you do as a sales man is either a tax write off or a business expense.
4. Never take a lunch without bringing a sales man with you.
5. Giving a dog a hair cut is harder than I thought.
