Thoughts on Stuff...

I think McCain beat Obama in the debate. Unfortunately where McCain beat Obama was in national security. Unfortunately, the Economy, which really took a back seat because they both didn't explain shit about it is the issue that is dominating this whole cycle right now. McCain schooled the man-elf on Russia, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. Americans are not tuned into this crap though because they hate Bush so bad. It's the most important issue and it sucks we are not paying attention to it. It can solve and hurt our economy both at the same time. Yet, we all just want cheaper gas. These past few months, me and my family are finally feeling this.

Speaking of that... October 7th looks like the day we are filing to split up. I am sure I will say more as time goes on but I have been quiet around here about it due to commentators that I do not know saying shit about stuff they don't have a fucking clue about. It sucks because I really liked having open comments around here. There are some great sites though out there where I can track IP addresses so I can find out who these people are. This all was the last thing I'd ever thought I'd go through. Hopefully I am on the back side of it. Perhaps it will help with my pain and stress. Mostly that is what I hope ends.

I am spending a lot of solo time with Elijah. Thank God for the parents I have because I have been taking him out there and imposing on their lives a little. Despite all the travel I do and I am in 4 states this next week (including Illinois for the first time) and am having a lot of fun. We went to a car show yesterday. Sadly there were only 5 Porsches there and nothing really really cool except for the Super 1500. I would love to put mine in a show sometime after I fix the windshield and trim pieces. Last weekend we went wine tasting with my parents and saw the pond on the post below. We have had fun swimming. Playing in parks. Playing fetch at the lake with a dog.

Lastly... I am so happy that after 14 years apart and almost 10 of those years not even speaking to each other, I was able to rekindle the greatest friendship with one of the sweetest people I ever have known. She is genuinely the most gentle person you can possibly meet.

Things I Hate

Why not make a list of things that bother me?

Here goes:

1. Green Beans---Forced to eat them against my will at a Lutheran pre-school. Most strict Lutherans I have ever met.
2. Hillary Clinton---Do I need to go into it? (Go Obama!!)
3. Lou Dobbs on CNN---What a hack!! This guy is trying so hard to be the liberal version of Bill O'Reilly and his problem is that he has to try? Give it up Lou... you are old
4. Toyota Prius---Sure save the environment, battery powered-electric cars, yada yada yada... Do they have to make them so freaking ugly? I don't get it? I looks like a modern Trabant. Is it going forward or backward?
   
5. The Recession---The only reason there is a recession is because the media keeps talking about it.
6. Hillary Clinton's beliefs---Do we really want someone that believes what she does in charge of this country? I mean, this isn't Bill part 2. This is the scariest thing facing America at this time.
7. Hannah Montana---If my kid ever falls into the manufactured starlet thing I am cutting off his allowance (as if he'll ever get one). It's in your face everywhere you look and does she have any talent? Radiohead has talent. Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter...no!!
8. The shakes--- My left fingers (ring and pinky) shake occasionally. It's probably something I am going to have to deal with soon. Which sucks... so I put it at number 8.
9. Bad wine---Ever have someone buy you wine, tell you it's good and when you open it, it sucks. But you think it is a bad bottle so you open another and it sucks too. I think bad wineries should be put out of business. Anyhow...
10. Suped up Honda Civics---Why? It's a Honda Civic!!!

There you are... A list of things I hate...AKA... I felt I needed to post something and decided to WASTE your time into reading it. I got more to write when I get back in town.
