Beards, long hair and tattoo

If you have any of the above and you’re fat, you're a lazy slob.

I wonder

I wonder why my oldest son rarely takes my calls and never calls me. At the same time I wonder why I talk to my dad at least once a week. The situation with my son bothers me.

Fire Aid

Hollywood is doing a live concert fundraiser to take care of their own. As in those affected by wild fires - aka government encouraged arson. They'll do a concert. They want us to give money for aid. These people are pathetic. They've got plenty of money to rebuild their own lives. They're mooching off the sympathies of their fans. Hollywood can screw themselves. No one did a fundraising concert for Asheville NC or Tampa FL after being destroyed by hurricane. No one cares about these people. Why should we care about them. And the only aid outreach for Lahaina Hawaii was some stupid begging operation executed by Oprah and Dwayne Johnson. They lent their faces to the cause expecting the rest of us to contribute. Go fuck yourselves.

Television and Hollywood

Both are culturally inbred slop built on the self promotion of themselves. Without their self promotion they would not exist.

Little Einstein

 There was a student/parent/counselor conference today for my youngest at the high school.  I attended.  During the meeting the discussion focused around what my youngest wants to study in the next 3 years and charting a path based on his current career interests.  My son came in and was well spoken, well thought, well mannered and well put together.  I was most pleased with how much thought he has given to his future studies and the strategy he employed in selecting his coursework over the next three years.  Well done, sir. My son wants long hair, which I obviously am not a fan of.  However, I thought about it and at the beginning of November I made a gentlemen's agreement with my son.  You can wear your hair as long as you want as long as it's not in your eyes.  He has stuck by that.  Whenever he is spoken to, he looks up and brushes his hair to the side with his hand and exchanges in conversation.  As it turns out, this has trans...

Healthcare

The current system for healthcare in america is not sustainable.  I got the bill for my walk in urgent care treatment at the dr office.  Before insurance it was nearly eight hundred dollars.  Of that 800 bucks, 20 was for the injection.  The rest was for being seen by the doctor.  With payment and discounts applied from insurance, I ended up owing just under one hundred and fifty dollars.  Shocking.   How do people without insurance see the doctor?  I don't understand why this is so expensive.  And I don't understand why my insurance is being charged a rack rate for providing care.  This is beyond what the working class can afford. How does the working class in this country even exist?  Rent, food, energy and transportation costs are all off the Richter scale.  I make a decent living.  My lifestyle has been negatively impacted by the economy.  How do they survive? Maybe the name of the game is side hustle.  Maybe...

Pardons

Just in - Pardons issued for fauci, the J6 committee members and Mark Milli. Preemptively. WTF? How can you issue pardons to people who have not been charged or convicted of anything? Pardons aren't issued to innocent people. Joe Biden is as corrupt as they come. He deserves to rot in hell. Covid. Gain of function. Lockdowns. Masking. That man is a bottom feeding rat and should be destroyed through incineration. 

On one hand

I really don't like that we are nothing more than evolved monkeys? On the other hand are we really made in the likeness of God?

Amazing Regret

Image
Around 2009 there was a touring concert production called Star Wars in Concert. I had the opportunity to go and for some stupid reason made my job more important than attending this special event. I figure it would come again in a couple of years and I could go then. Guess what? It didn't. My wife and oldest son got to go and they reported that it was pretty neat. The music was performed by a live orchestra with video accommodation. It wasn't a movie, but a series of clips accompanying the music. Outside the performance hall there were props and costumes. My family really didn't build it up much. I knew I missed out but maybe they had sympathy for my stupid decision and downplayed just how awesome the event was. If I would have known how amazing this event was, I would have been heartbroken.  They probably knew that.  I choose to believe they protected me by not letting me know what an exceptional event this could have been for me. Now, 15 years later, I am hear...

Humans

 As far as I know humans are the only living things on Earth that has devised a medicinal and medical industry to care for living things on the planet that are ailing or have disease.  Humans actually care for one another on some level and want to see them lead long, productive and healthy lives.  Our advances can cure common ailments and significant diseases that would at one time have been fatal.  There are still diseases which there is no cure where "research" is being done in an effort to prolong life. Why is that?  Because we're evolved?  Healthcare is an economic driver?  We have the ability to overcome what is destined to destroy us? I could have been dead multiple times if it wasn't for modern medicine.  I am thankful for that as, from my estimation, I would have died before having a chance to live my life.   My Mom is starting to have problems with eating again.  Her teeth are still rotten and we are working to put together a pl...

Secret pleasure

Even Flow by Pearl Jam is one of the best songs. If only I still had my corvette. The glory days. Not like Bruce Springsteen. But like driving a loud and aggressive sports car jammin to some seriously good music.  The album version.  Pearl Jam isn't near as good live.

Headache

 Had a migraine headache for three days straight last week that would not let up.  Not a bit.  I had an appointment scheduled with my psychiatrist and told her about it.  She told me to go to either the emergency room or the walk in urgent care.  OK. I went to the walk in urgent care expecting to be laughed out of the office for being there for a headache.  The doc asked some questions - I don't even remember what the were.  The next thing the doc says is I'm going to have the nurse give you an injection of tramadol.  After that, lay down for 30 minutes and we'll check back on you.  OK.  The nurse came in and gave the short and I laid down.  Still had the headache and the doctor said you will hopefully feel some relief in about an hour.   Picked up some prescriptions and the headache finally broke. Dr prescribed some propanol and haven't had a headache since. About 20 years ago I got migraines all the time and they most subside...

Sentiment

Happy Holloween…Thank you for all do. Really?

Sell me this

I can't stand sales people.  They've got this script or sales tree with all these branches that they try to lead you down to get to a yes and a sale.  STFU.  If I want your services I will seek you out.  Until then, please leave me alone.  All these phonies start getting excited when you give them a yes and they go down the next branch in their spiel and get another yes.  Then I through up a road block and shut that shit down.  Leave me alone mother fucker and get off my property.   

My Indian neighbor

My Indian neighbor's wife backed into their garage door while trying to exit the garage. Without opening the door. Perhaps this is why Indian people feel the need to advertise their inability to operate a motor car. Maybe I should go buy them stickers for their vehicle that say 'Student driver - please be patient.' It's a gift. From me to you. A gesture of friendship. Not really.

Star Wars

Everyone thinks I'm a Star Wars fan. I'm not. I'm a John Williams fan. Star Wars happened to be the first movie I saw with his music. I was more of a Trekie. They still had movies coming out in the 1980s and I remember going to the theatre with friends and or family and waiting in line to see the movies. I don't think anyone does that anymore because you can buy tickets in advance online. You couldn't do that back in the day.

Terrible Man

Joe Biden hates America and he demonstrates that every time he does something. Recently saw him get ugly with reporters. I think every reporter that has the opportunity to ask him a question should poke the bear. Make an effort to illicit an unfavorable reaction or ugly response from him. Intentionally fuck with him so the entire world can see what as asshole he is and has always been.

Still

The Apple film about Michael J Fox and his Parkinson's situation.  My Dad wanted me to see it about two years ago and I'm too cheap to buy Apple TV just to watch a movie.  But, this weekend apple is gifting everyone access to Apple TV to try and drum up interest in their television product.  Which must not be doing to well if they're offering a preview weekend.  Anyway it was a nice opportunity to finally see the show. I didn't particularly find the story sharing anything new about Michael j fox.  Instead, it went highlighted the length MJF went to hide the disease and the coping mechanisms used.  Whether it be taking off medication, escaping or going on a bender.  Not a lot of information about the MJF foundation or the research gains his foundation has made possible. What touched me most were parts when MJF was discussing his father.  Letting MJF go to Hollywood, keeping MJF grounded on visits home and the death of his Dad.   Interesting to...

Chicks

Slang word for female is chick. The reason for that is males are looking for a place to put their cock.

Out on a limb

They say when you put something in writing the chances of whatever is written coming to fruition increase exponentially.  I've been writing for a while and never really document ideas or goals for the future.  I'm going out on a limb.  Leave my current employer with a package Spend three years learning the automotive repair business/industry Year 4 - Open and grown my own automotive repair business Year 14 - Sell shop and fund retirement
