OH GOODIE!!!

The advertisements are here!! The advertisements are here!!!  And I love how they are topical with what I write about.....did you notice the Swiffer coupons? For Tim, I will mention the Libman mop system in hopes for a discount on future replacement heads. Wow, I could have a lot of fun with this.  I guess if anyone is in need of a coupon, let me know what for and I will write about it and *KALABAZAM* there's your coupon.  Let's try something...... I love free money and a free new truck!  We'll see if the coupon gods are paying attention now.

Now, there has been some feedback on my anti-Republican rants. I am not against Republicans, there are just as many ridiculous Democrats out there, they are just not in the spotlight of the news today.  So, I am not Republican bashing....I am Idiot bashing.  See the difference?

Now on for some more good old fashioned Republican idiot bashing....  Newton has promised the good people of Florida that we will be living on the moon in 8 years. He he he he. And he would also like to get enough people up there to declare the moon an actual state.  Now, when I was a young tot, we were told that by the year 2000 we would be traveling around in small hover crafts like the Jetsons.  Rut Ro Astro!  Now, that idea was rather scary to me when I was 6, but I was kinda looking forward to having a robot maid and a digital diary. Needless to say, it's 2012 and I drive around in an 8 year old Chevy Blazer and the only person cleaning my house is me.  Now, without our space shuttle program, NASA is relying on a privately owned companies that are building space crafts to launch us back into space.  I wonder if Newt has any stock or "interests" in these companies? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....  I feel that we have enough to take care of on our planet, why would we want to start inhabiting somewhere else?  Plus, can we just go there and live? No one really owns the moon....would we have to squat there for 7 years first?  I hate wasting time thinking about nonsense like this.

Let's move on to more nonsense.......

It was brought to my attention that I may be the reincarnation of an elderly, retired, Italian man. You see, when it snows...I must get every flake off of my driveway. I need to get it down to the black.  I will not stop until every inch of the driveway is bare. But it doesn't stop there....I also have to get the sidewalk cleared, and I must cut a path through my front yard for the mail lady so she doesn't walk through my snow covered gardens.  Then when I am through with my property, I must move on to the neighbor's driveway and sidewalk.  And I think I have to clear the neighbor's snow, so my driveway doesn't look so idiotically clean surrounded by their snowy messes.  One year my neighbor Bob granted me the Golden Shovel award...and ever since then I have taken the job of snow removal very seriously and even turned it into an art form. Well, at least that is what I need to tell myself so I don't feel so OCD about it. 


I just found out that my 25th (holy crap) high school reunion is this year. But I really don't care about it.  I went to the pre-party for my 20th reunion and it was ok.  But my reasoning is this; I didn't talk to most of these people a quarter of a century ago, why would I want to talk to them now?  I can say that I was more entertained by how people have aged, rather than by the people themselves.  The 20th reunion did bring me back in touch with a couple friends I was close with in school, and I am grateful for that. But it also highlighted my theory of "once an asshole, always an asshole".  And not "asshole" in the good way.....like me.  So, I will be teetering on the 25th reunion attendance fence for the next 6 months. I will let you know what I decide...

One last note...I would like to wish my favorite brother Mark a Happy Birthday! I was going through some pictures the other day and came across this one from when he and I were much younger. 




Apparently we had chili for lunch that day because we both look like we are ripping some serious ass crackers.

until next time.....
