If the Shoe Fits:

This was made for the 2008 Election but still mostly applies for the 2010 election (save the mention of then President Bush)



Bottom line: the current Republicans are a collection of idiots and wealthy sociopaths.

Running on the Treadmill...

Ok, we sometimes get this, especially in middle age.
Last year, or rather 11 months ago, I felt caught in a trap. I am too old to get a new job at this level, but stuck in a position if
1. If I do well, I get stuck doing the same things
2. If I do poorly, I get stuck doing the same things

No matter what, I am stuck in a cold rust-belt town and an old fat wife. That, plus a family crisis (pedophile idiot) and physical pain (torn meniscus in the knee, though I did know that at the time) made for being down in the dumps for a while.

But .....these things often don't last; it does get better. Oh sure, the job is still nowhere and the wife is older and even fatter, but it does have periods of fun. And yes, it pays the bills and provided health insurance to fix that torn meniscus.

The body is healing and things are much sunnier.

Moronic Wife

Axiom: there is no situation so good that my wife couldn't screw it up. Also, there is no situation so bad that this narcissistic "know-it-all" couldn't make it worse.

People

People suck. They lie, they cheat, they steal and they molest kids who can't defend themselves.

Staying up late

Going on facebook has been a real opener. I've found old classmates; almost all of them are right wing reactionaries. They got educated at government expense (service academy), got government paychecks (military), some get pensions and/or disability payments and are against taxes and government spending???

Assholes.

I've also found out that old flames are on there too; once I met a rounded high school girl who wore the thinnest white shorts I've ever seen; there was no challenge in seeing her tiny white nylon bikini underpants.

She is on facebook.

I got a friend request by someone else I used to ogle; she no longer looks the way that she used to. What a pity.

Still another facebook friend: years ago I saw her at a meeting in very tight, very shiny, royal blue spandex shorts. I wanted to rub her ass so badly!

Now, she couldn't fit one leg into those shorts; that is how it goes.

My wife is an idiot

"Honey, the milk is spoiled; I found that out when I got my coffee this morning".

"Ok."

So I go to get coffee; hardly any is left; barely enough for one cup (I usually take two).

"Did you throw your coffee out?"

"Yes....what was I supposed to do?"

"There wasn't much coffee left"

"Oh.....should I have made another pot?"

Duh.

I don't get enough sex to put up with this.

A Change in Local Footraces

Over the years, there have been changes in local footraces. The crowd has become less serious and far slower.

But what you are seeing more and more of is a plethora of women of the following type: early 30's, usually dark haired, white, and dressed in a white technical top and black spandex on the bottom. Few are fast at all; most run in the 8-10 minute per mile range (or slower).

But they are always good for some visual entertainment, if you love seeing some feminine butt-crack.



Besides, their finishes count and help old, slowing runners pad their finish statistics. :-)
