I Always Want To Hear That.

You know how it is when you are certain you know something... then you find out it isn't true? ...I've done that more than once in my life... I think that maybe we all jump to conclusions too quickly at times.  I am always joking about how I am never wrong... it's sort of my thing... and where I'm not admitting to being wrong now... it is possible I've made more than my share of mistakes in my life. I think it's funny that some mistakes always come back around to haunt you years... sometimes even decades after the incident occurred. I look at my life and really don't see much remarkable.. I'm not even sure why people read my blog anymore... it's not like I have a whole lot to say... I just use it as a journal.. sort of a diary... I also use it to get out things that are rattling around inside of my head.  I can't see where that's really all that interesting. I was a much better writer at one time.. even though I'm not horrible now, I have too much pessimism in my writing style. I don't really want to get political here... I will discuss religion, but politics is not something I care to invite into my world... there are so many people who are offended at the stupidest crap... so... be offended.. that shouldn't be anything to worry about.. but you know the old saying.. "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" ...our society is changing it's norms and laws to match those who complain... Abraham Lincoln said "You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time.. but you can't please all of the people all of the time"  ...at least I think that's correct.  The problem we now have is that our political structure has taken on the notion that when someone complains loud enough.. change has to be effected. This is stupid... It takes 1% of the population to become outspoken and make changes that the other 99% disagree with... maybe... to be honest.. I really don't know what news is real and what isn't anymore.. Our society is bombarded with an overload of information.. much of which is mis-information. I trusted snopes.com to fact check at one time.. but I've discovered that even it has a political agenda and skews things to their perspective at times. I sorta give up on most news stories that's why I hate it when my dad is here and turns on Fox News 24/7.. Yes... I'm somewhat conservative, but I try to keep an open mind... I was raised a fundamentalist... but I understand where some of those ideas are outdated.. Am I unbiased?? ...of course not... but I try to respect the opinions of others.. even if they disagree with me.. That's part of what makes the world turn... a variety of people with a multitude of opinions... I'm thankful for the freedoms I have, but it seems like people aren't happy with others having freedoms if it infringes on their beliefs... I don't care what other people do.. as long as it doesn't affect me.. believe what you want.. just don't make me try to change my belief.. feel free to share your opinion though... I always want to hear that.

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...
