Non-Event Wednesday

It's been a non-event week with the exception of taking my truck to the local Nissan dealer to get the bumper replaced because some dork who was recuperating from an all night drinking binge backed into it and mashed the hell out of my fender. It was almost worth not doing it at all once the estimates were gotten and having to set up an appointment, then the actual taking it for the repair. This alone costs me valuable leave time off at work. And all because this guy can't control his drinking. I can't either but at least I stay at home and don't put my ass behind the wheel. Anyway, it's over now and it's on to the next tragedy.

Sunday Is As Sunday Was

Not much going on. I don't have to go into work tomorrow which is a blessing in itself. Otherwise, the most I've done this holiday weekend is to go help my sister-in-law get some junk out of her attic. Doesn't sound terribly exciting but being the pervert I am, at least I got a shot of her butt as she was climbing up the ladder. The down side was that there was a ton of stuff up there and it was hot as hell. They are moving to Orlando in a few weeks and it has the entire family shaken. They're the type family that has always been pretty close and this is the first time one of them has moved any further than about 50 miles away and even that ended up with them moving back here. It is going to be rather sad and it's going to take a long time to adjust. Socially, we are quite tied to them. Every time I think about it seriously, the cliche "nothing lasts forever" comes to mind and I hate that slogan with a passion. Maybe it's my romantic side, but I have to feel things last forever. If not, why get involved to begin with? This is just a shot to my system. I'll adjust in time, as will everyone else. How much time is the question.

Another Wensday, For Joy

OK, so I don't lead a terribly exciting life. So, how many people out there lead the same type of life? All of us don't lead a sex filled life of excitement and wonder. I get up, go to work every day and return home to the TV and a life of boredom. I've tried to change it, but it's nothing short of a challenge. Correct me if I'm wrong, but how many of you lead an exciting life full of fun and games?

The Week That Was

It all began last Sunday. I left home to go to a Mother's Day dinner and when I returned my once operating computer has an error message saying something to the effect that my hard drive was operating out of its normal parameters or something to that effect. I tried to reboot it to no avail. I thought at first that I might have gotten a virus of some type that wouldn't let me reboot. I tried everything I know to get it operating again but ran up against a brick wall. On Monday I took it to my local computer repair wizards. Ended up being my hard drive totally died. I quite a few photos I had taken on our last vacation not to mention several programs that I downloaded that I don't have a disk to recover from. Anyway, finally, after being told a hundred different stories about when I could expect it back, Thursday I got my computer back. I have spent the last three days reloading my programs and software. It has taught me a valuable lesson about backing up my information and programs, not to mention a couple of hundred bucks to get the hard drive replaced.

Mother's Day Weekend

It's been a somewhat interesting weekend so far. Last night (Saturday) we went out to eat with the Father-in-law, the Stepson, and his pregnant girlfriend. The Father-in-law spent a good deal of the night making some reference that I was the father of the child. Why? I have no idea other than he thought it funny. Later, he made some remark about her wanting me as her dog on a leash. I didn't say anything but at first thought, that's absurd. He was being so vulgar that I told her that at least he wasn't saying anything about me humping her leg. Even as I was saying this I was getting this visual image of me humping her leg and in my perverted mind thinking "hey, what's the problem?". So can you blame me. She's 19, has big hooters, and a nice buns. I'm considered by many to be ancient. I know it's really sick, but, trust me, this is exactly how the male mind works. Even at funerals men are checking out the females. I know because I've broached the subject with the men I work with. We're all sick. What else can I say?

The Day Before Monday

Once again it's Sunday and I find myself sitting here trying to think of something to post to my blog. I lead a rather normal and mundale life so it's not as if there's excitement abounding all the time. Between work and taking of the vehicles and home there's not a lot of room to do much of anything else. It doesn't help that gas prices have once again skyrocketed and I feel a certain amount of guilt at going anywhere. The thing that bugs me about the gas situation is I never seem to hear a real reason for the price increases. There's always some lame reason such as the "concern over the situation in Iran" or "that there may be a shortage" because of this or that or something or other. Then I read that Exxon has record profits and they paid one of their CEO's or managers or whatever $400 million when he retired. Well, in my mind, guess who's paying for this bozo's retirement? But, I don't know what the solution is. The President and our useless Congress want to have this investigation or that committee look into price gouging or oil company profits but it's all a sham. They're all bought and paid for and we suffer. When will it end? Once the average American wakes up and decides enough is enough. When will this be? Not any time soon, I'm afraid.

This Week So Far

This week has been a really good one for me. At home and at work it's as if nothing can go wrong. I caution myself to not get to caught up in it as there is always tomorrow and the threat of shit hitting the fan at any moment. But, for now, all is well. I am at peace.
