Yeah, I guess its time for my bi-monthly ramble.  Again, I don’t have a particular topic to rant about at the moment, so this one is going to be another hodge-podge of crap.  Just the way you like it.

So here I am on a Boobs & Beer Friday, sitting home with a cold.  This blows.  Stuffy-running nose and the undying desire to crawl downstairs and go back to bed.  Oh well, everyone has these kinds of days.  Been falling in and out of sleep all day long…taking a home grown cocktail of OTC cold remedies that I’ve found in the medicine cabinet.  Most expired, but who cares.  It may be out of date, but it has to have some affect on the cold, right?   Anyone?  [/queue crickets]   In any case, I feel fine enough to play in the game tonight.  Just have to make sure I take my box of tissue.  How disgusting would that be if I forgot my tissue.  LOL  Oh, btw….Minute Maid orange juice simply ROCKS!!!!

My daughter is in San Diego this weekend with her friends.  How cool is that.  I think she said that they were on spring break.  When did spring get here?  I still have snow in my damn yard.  So yeah…my daughter and the generally warmer weather and a few friends, is all I really miss about California.  So, San Diego…I spent a week there on business about 20 years ago.  I was mostly out in the industrial area though, so I can’t say that I seen all of it’s beauty.  But hey…it’s still just California.  I wouldn’t mind going back to visit though.

School is going okay.  I’m not sure I’ll make the Dean’s List this quarter, but the possibility is still there.  I still hate English class, and Math (which used to be one of my best subjects) is kind of sucking.  One question….Quadratic Equations….WHY?  Is there really a use for this crap outside of a science lab or something?  I’ve been in the computer business for over 16 years.  None of this has ever come into play.  Even in my programming class, we don’t use it.  So what gives?  I’m sure there is a purpose for it, but if it doesn’t pertain to my career of choice, or even prepare me for some of my degree classes, then why do I have to know this?  You know, I think I asked this same question back in the early `80′s when I was going through High School.  Almost 30 years now, and I still haven’t gotten an answer that justifies taking that class.  It didn’t matter back then, but since I’m actually paying for the schooling now, it matters a great deal.  Not that anyone in the elite liberal academic circles cares what I think.  They should though…because now I’m confrontational, and they don’t like that at all.  Fuck em.  Yeah, yeah…I know I still have to take the classes, but they are not going to get off easy on this.  LOL

Boy, Obama has gone to shit, hasn’t he?  LMAO!!!  That idiot!  Sure, most campaign promises are broken, but this asshole didn’t even try!  No health care debates on CSPAN.  Wants a bipartisan health care package, but allows Palosi/Reid to block republicans from contributing.  Was for gay marriage, and as soon as he’s in office, he’s against them.  “No Earmark spending” the man said.  I guess that means nothing above 50,000 earmarks, because over 8.500 in one bill is just fine with him.  Says he’s going to fix the economy, then accelerates the tanking of it!  The only thing presidential about this guy is that he’s his own number one fan!  He promotes himself, and not the country.  This guy is 100% LOSER!!!

Hey, three cheers for the Porn industry!  In a crappy economy, it makes money.  In a good healthy economy, it makes money.  There is a lesson in here somewhere.  The worlds oldest profession will never go away, and I think that’s a good thing.  I think if we can find a good solid way to keep it away from kids, then I can see it becoming more mainstream.  I wouldn’t support it if we couldn’t protect the kids from it though.

I was thinking about running for office.  City council maybe.  I’d run on the platform that since our elected representatives are supposed to speak for the people…I’d give the people a voice.  A simple web site and a few interactive webinars, and an elected rep. could have his constituents be a big part of how government runs.  Think about it for a minute.  If you had direct access to your representative, wouldn’t you take advantage of that?  Wouldn’t it be easier to make sure that your representative is actually working for YOU, instead of working his/her own agenda?  That would be HUGE!  Remember…our government officials are elected to represent OUR interests…not theirs.  So why don’t they hold regular meetings with their constituents?  They mostly talk with the people that fund their campaigns, and that’s wrong.  They are supposed to listen to the people that they represent…not just the money people.  This is why I would like to see all campaigns have a fixed dollar amount…say $1,000,000.  They get 5 60 second TV spots total, and everything that they put on their web page MUST be 100% factual, validated by an independent panel.  This would hamstring big money lobbyists and put all candidates on an even playing field.  Think about if for a minute.  Even if you are not into the political scene, you have to see the beauty in this.  I should do it.

Well, It’s time to get ready for poker night.  Tissue….check.  Throat drops….check.  I think I’m ready.

HAPPY BOOBS & BEER FRIDAY!!!
