We All Have Faults.

I think we're lazy.. as humans we search for the easiest way to do things.. even if it takes 3 times the effort to do so.. That's why the U.S. has gotten to an overweight status... not that I really care much about any weight issues... it's just that most of us have gotten used to having things done for us.  Think back 50 years ago.. when we didn't have the 5 minutes meals.. we didn't have the magic of the internet to find things for us.. it took legwork... no remote controls.. I mean.. think about that.. we're too lazy to go touch something.. but we'll spend half an hour looking for some type of remote to a device ...instead of approaching the device and pushing a button... What's the deal.. are we that sedimentary in our lifestyle?  We will pay people to mow our yards.. to wash our cars... to do things that we say we don't have time for.. then we end up spending time goofing off.. or on something that is a complete waste of our time.

We also have let our standards as a nation falter... we all expect more.. more.. more... and we give less and less to get those.. well.. guess what... it doesn't work that way. Unless you are one of the very few that will get handed things.. either because your relatives are rich.. or because you can manipulate people into doing things for you.. well. you reap what you sow.  It's like the children's story where the hen wanted all the help to raise the wheat.. grind it into flour.. bake the bread.. and no one was willing to help.. then when it came time to reap the reward.. everyone was ready to share then...  We all expect other people to do our work.. and do as little as we can get away with... then we gripe and complain about how we can never get ahead... well... deal with it.. Most people cannot see the faults within themselves.. And we all have faults.

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

Stay Out Of Things Where I Don't Belong.

I am starting to get used to the hours... I think... who knows.. one day I feel like I was drug out of my bed kicking and screaming... other days I feel like I've been poured full of coffee and energy drinks... I've cut down on my morning coffee by the way... Oh... I didn't blog about that... after first moving here, I started drinking flavored coffee in the mornings... but I've decided I don't want to get dependent on that.... I still have the occasional coffee... but as I've said before... too much of anything is a bad idea... so I cut back.  I also decided to give up something for Lent... I might have blogged about it... but I tried to think of something that would be a sacrifice.. so I gave up masturbation.  I know that's not really in the spirit of Lent... as far as giving up something like that... but hey... I can't think of many other things I enjoy more... especially with my sex life as it is... I sorta don't have the inspiration at this poi...
