A post about finances....and how the system is flawed.

This is not only going to be a negative post, but a bitching post too

So we all know the economy is bad, so allow me to share a bit of a personal story.  In fact, a current personal story. Now before we go much farther, yes, these are my problems, yes they are [...]

The end of an era….

So to speak.

I guess it really finally sets in on this whole wedding thing when you have your Bachelor party.  It is, in many ways, the last Hurrah.   Yes there will be bar nights out with the guys, yes there will still be parties, but somehow now they are different.  It’s not about talking to [...]

The state of the economy….my musings…

Ok, I have been thinking about this for a while.  Not sure quite how I wanted to frame this but bear with me.

However, I do have to say, these are my opinions, and if I am wrong, I am wrong, but I think I got a good path, but I am open to discussion of [...]

And looking forward…

Here is one thing  i wanna see as far as legislation goes….

1: I want to see something similar to the great depression electricity and then later in our history national telephone wiring come to cable internet.

Now hear me out.  It is hard to look at this right now and say “seriously? with al that is [...]

That was halloween?????

I know this is a few days late, but life has been crazy.

First off, before this gets going.  I want this to be known, i had a good Halloween with friends, and the kids that came through had cute and funny, and a few original costumes, and it was a good night.

OK, I’m bringing out [...]

Good Samaritan or Good Duping?

So on my lunch break, i had something tat made me very mad in a few ways, and i had to share.

I pulled into the speedway here by work, and a woman was in her car at the pump (car was older, had 2 blown out windows covered in plastic, rear seat and rear window), [...]

A Sad Day In Personal Baseball History

As some close friends know, back in the heyday of baseball and into the late 60’s i had 2 family members who played in the Major League.  Mike Tresh and his son Tom Tresh.  Tom is technically my 2nd cousin, the way that whole family thing works out, and i had met him only a [...]

Skids and Stupid People

I swear that some higher power somewhere makes it their personal pleasure in life to Mock me for their own sick laughter show.

I go and write this nice post about slowing down life and enjoying it more, and on the way home that very same day, i have to lay down my motorcycle.  Now before [...]

Chilly Rides and Chilly Hides

Ok, not so sure about the Chilly Hides part, but the rides is the main point.

Ahh, the beginning of Fall weather, little cooler in the morning, just enough for maybe some frost, and a little cooler evenings in the 50’s or so.  Makes for some perfect riding weather.

Most people are Fair Weather motorcycle riders, and [...]

Remembering…

First Off – HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT

Moving right along

It’s 9/11.  7 Years after that historic event.  Someone posed an interesting question this morning.  Do we even care?

Yes and no, is my answer

Yes we care, because it’s a memory of the people who died that should be remembered.  However, no we don;t care, [...]

The land of the free, If you do it my way

I guess it’s time to dust off the ‘ole Soapbox for a moment.

I’m just gunna gripe on a few things today.  Even things that *gasp* I’m guilty of, but hey, unlike most people, i can admit it. This is gunna be a long one and full of good old American opinions, agree and disagree if [...]

Cannibals and Iron Men

Well, today was one of those days that i love my job.  LIke a mechanic with a classic car he gets running, or a photographer with that perfect set of pictures,  I was at home.  we have 4 old HP Net servers (2 500MHZ P3’s with 6×9GB Harddrives, and 3 P2 450MHz machines with 6×9GB [...]

Possibilites and Trials

    Ever wonder why life likes to throw you fancy curveballs? I do.  I think it’s to keep the wit sharp. With consistency comes sloth like mental capabilities.  People don’t like change in general. I personally like to see change happen.  It is good to see things in a new light and to see how [...]
