Life in the Teeth
I know many of you are not that familiar with what I've been up to for the past year plus, It's not worth getting into, nor is it that interesting. So, I'll not drone on.
For as long as you have known me, I've been trying my best to .... Improve my life, or make my life more... satisfying. Maybe this is just all our goals, and a Windmill we all charge at Daily. I'm not psyched to spend much time waisting away watching Sit-Coms or playing video games... I do see it as waisting my life... Though I've caught a good episode of Scrubs or played a few hours of a game or two... Just when I need some "numb mind" time.
This last week was a tough one, I had more things to do, that I could fit into the 16-20 waking hours of my days, and beyond that There was enough Stress that I always worry about my health. And as is my life, I had more people trying to get in my way, than trying to help.... Why don't people get that, are they so self centered that they don't get that we need to be of Benefit to each other, and that if we have a purpose in each other's lives, it's to help one another out...
and yet in my life..... There are just people out there who are filled with "I can't". It's just when they offer help, you realize you will spend every moment saying " now put your right hand on the Spade and then drive it into the dirt... Yep with both hands, now place your foot on top and push into the dirt...... About 10 minutes into this I realize, I may as well just do it for myself... Then they are all "well, you won't let me help you."
and that They have to figure out what they can do, and ask enough questions to realize what they need to do next. Just take some ownership of their actions, and what they are trying to accomplish... but of course all of this is why they can't get it done in the first place.
and to be honest, most people I find are defeating themselves, even they don't know why or how. It's not like I actually give a shit, why "You Can't", But don't doubt, I'm not interested in having you continue to hinder me getting stuff com pleated. Because apparently its also my job to figure out what your fucking dysfunction is as well.
For me, Life is a series of episodes of Kicking life in the Teeth, to try and get things done.... since that is who I am, I'm the guy who gets the job completed.... But ask yourself, if you're the person just going through the motions, and Leeching the Blood Sweat and Tears, off of those of us who literally have to kick their way through all the self created obstacles we create both for ourselves but also for the people around us.... Because yes I have those Daemons too, but I battle through mine........
Wine and Liquer pairings
.... Like every Lilly liped liberal, in his 30's, I'm getting into wine and food pairings.

Last night I realized what a miserable pairing 8 year old single malt is with PB&J...... Just so you know...



I'll keep you posted.....

Should be good, I poke fun but I'm a huge fan.

America deserves $140 oil.

Your tech support update
When you upgrade your copies of XP to SP3 it will take HOURS.... HOURS.......
NEVER SHUT OFF A COMPUTER WHILE APPLYING SERVICE PACKS(SP3)...... never never never....
if it runs for 12 hours.... Then, maybe shut it off... but expect to have big problems...
The reason I make this point is because when SP2 came out... all the dimwhits in the world upgraded, and when it took more than 20 minutes.... They thought they would be smart and shut it down... because they didn't have time..... and then their machine crashed.... and somehow... in their child little lizard brains... it was someone else's fault.
I fixed 5 different computers last time, all of them from people who "Thought they knew something" about computers, and didn't have any patience....
"SP2 wrecked my computer."
"hmmm... interesting, i haven't seen that yet."
"ya the message boards are all about how SP2, wrecks your computer"
"well, what happened?"
"It locked up"
"Umn..... how long did you wait for it to install"
"oh....like 20 minutes"
"Ya, I have a very fast computer and it took over an hour. You can't shut computers off in the middle of Service Packs.... I had one that took 6 hours to install."
"oh.... but mine locked up..."
(ya buddy just keep that echo chamber that is your head going.... everything is always Microsoft's fault)
It's not that Microsoft isn't massively incompetent, but when your incompetence meets theirs.... that is where there is a very big problem.
......Something
But what do you care?
I was talking about how boring I am... I went to bed at 7:30 and got up at 2am.
How interesting is that?
If I had any sense this morning I'd run....
I'm very sorry this morning, I have no interesting thoughts..... I apologise, you came to my blog and I have nothing..... Maybe later...
All I can do is talk/think about commodities and Inflation...

yep 1:20 am... Time to blog

I'm suspecting this post is going nowhere fast.... It's interesting that I can't sleep..... Ever. The only times I manage 8 hours straight is on the weekend.... I should have worn myself out today, but I was too worn out.
Well.... I guess this is all I have...

More of....

This is what I've decided to start calling it when, I'm stuck in that purgatory of needing to sleep, and yet unable to sleep.... Good news Though, I'm catching up on my TV.....
Friday, May 16, 2008
Where was I..
So... I woke up at 1:30 am, tried to make it back to sleep and it looks like it's not going to happen.
Unfortunately this means I'll be irritable and exhausted all day, but it's Friday and that isn't unusual. I watch a lot of CNBC these days, Just for those of you who don't manage your investments.
- You are a fool. There are Millions of Investors, Wall Streeters, Bankers, Government Officials, that are picking your pocket every day. If you ever wonder about why you work so hard and never get ahead; well, most of that is your fault, and then those people who are good at it, are literally picking your pocket in little drops every day. You need to be as Literate in your investments, as you are in how to run your cell phone.
- Lies Lies Lies, 90% of... Wait a minute 20% of what people hear are Lies, and 70% of what you hear is people who believe those lies, and are repeating them.
I'm on this Current personal Theme about Ignorance, Part of which is that I even need to be open-minded to the Lying bullshit, that flows in our information Flow like Feces from a person suffering from E coli.... So, I watch CNBC, sometimes. BTW Light Sweet Crude is trading at $125.17, and Brent crude $123.84. I believe that near term, oil is not going to get much more expensive, as is gas, We may see that $4.00 gas this summer, but that will be a function of gas demand and not oil price.... there are possibilities of some better outcomes, for gas prices, and by that I mean Gas actually going down.... Part of this theory was that I heard $200 oil, last week and this week it's $800.... ever heard of irrational exuberance..... Ever heard of markets can stay irrational much longer than I can stay solvent....
Though, if you are one of those crazy people who would like to see fewer cars filling your lungs with Vile Shit on the Road, and us being forced to have a real Come to Jesus, about Renewable Resources, you may want to root for that $800 barrel of oil... Regardless of the Near Term Armageddon it could cause.
Back to my Ideas on ignorance. Its new to me that I should give some opportunity to listen to people who I believe are blatantly lying to me... The reason why? because when I figure out what some people "Want me to Believe", it gives me a better grasp on what is actually going on...... The Lady Doth Protest, Too Much!!!
I'm trying to post something to this blog every day, and hoping I can come up with some food for thought...... Without doing readings from... The Way of the Bodhisattva, Wallstreet Journal, or Wealth of nations...... Yes, that is the Purgatory of my Reading List.
Hey Sleevie, Drop me an E-mail... Thought I had your email... and I don't themopinator et yahoo.com.....
Light Sweet Crude 125.15
Brent 123.75

9pm exhaustion come crashing in.....

What is this 3 posts today?
I sometimes hate this stuff.
I talked to the people who MFG and who sold them to me... they were like "Ya.... You need a replacement."
"Really? I didn't realize that I needed to replace a broken spoke. Thanks for the help. Where do I get one?"
"oh... you are going to have to find a substitution, probably."

Something I love about Blogs, is it gives us an opportunity to share Stupid little idiosyncratic things about our lives. And for the most part Get some Validation that we aren't "Total" freaks. and that though we are all different, we aren't all that different, we all suffer in our own little ways.
And... It's really Beautiful... and amazing that this silly technology sort of morphs into such an amazing thing... Which is more a tribute to humanity, than it is to the technology...

........................and more...........
The Great Turbo, getting ready to defend his Crit Title(not to mention his wife who had her second head removed from her shoulder, and was brave enough to blog about it(I loved every moment)), and
Sleevie in for surgery,
J-Rad living the Montana life,
Dupree(Sandy)-off to be a doctor, ....
Julie, separating herself from the public blog life,
Burke is Having an unbelievable year,
Art on a rant about Mark to myth accounting
(I'm on more rants about the secret 10% inflation rate we eternally suffer)... Don't let them lie to you, the real problem isn't Ethanol or market speculation. It's that, after the great depression, we came up with this very bad idea called "Central Banking" and give these idiots an ability to give money away for free... and that devaluing our money was a good idea..... Good news in 5 years we will all be making over 70 grand.... Bad news, homes will cost 1-2 million dollars, and gas will go to $10 a gallon..... Just so we don't have any deflation... No worries because only those who can do math will realize that your only making twice as much and paying 4Times as much for everything.... and Wage inflation will be last, so... no worries we will all just be broke till then.
Have some kids...
(can anyone tell I've been drinking)
But I digress... One of the problems with blogging regularly, Is I have to feel amusing... I may be amusing, but I don't feel amusing most the time...
I wish I knew what Gary was doing....
.... Oh... What Have I been up to..... I've been trying to get rich in the stock market.... but how, I hear the market is so bad? Well it's much easier when you're A-moral about how you invest.
Oh, my bike is broken... can't find a proper replacement spoke, so it looks like I may be buying some new wheels...
.... Oh... 2 new Ex-Girlfriends, with limited prospects besides stalking Julie...... One new Ex- because... Well because I get up at 2am, and am exhausted at 8pm.... the other because...well I'm a bit of an asshole.... I couldn't believe she didn't know that.
..... But... Till then it's Friday and I'll be drinking myself to sleep.... Yep, my life is that charming

I thought this was a mop wothy story.....
I’m starting on spring cleaning… I am organizing all my cycling clothing and exercise clothing. I ran across a couple of Athletic supporters.. I have 2 medium and one large… Before you thing this represents… anything… They aren’t like braziers, the cup size isn’t variable for the most part.. it references waist size and how they fit…
SO… I remember purchasing 2 of them.. and I got one medium and one large,

I go to the front register, and To start off with.. the woman at the register realizes that I purchased two different sizes… I guess she was “sizing” me up.. quiet literally… So…. She says to me “You know these aren’t returnable”… I guess, she figured I got two sizes because I was going to try them and then return the $5 item that didn’t fit. I assume.
Let me just say….. To start off with.. I dispute this… I don’t care if I had to go to the Corporate HQ… I bet there is no Caveat on the purchase of Jock-Straps… that they aren’t returnable… and Let me just say… it would be fun to have a judge mediate the dispute.
I had no idea how they would fit.. and Figured either would probably work, and maybe a tighter or looser one would be good.. depending on the clothing etc…. I also… get very utilitarian when I shop… there is no fucking way I’m going to buy an athletic supporter then have to come back and get one that is a different size.. when they cost all of $5… the gas and time are more expensive than buying an ill-fitting extra.
It’s funny that I would probably be ok with having a dispute with “Sports Authority” over if I can or cannot return an athletic supporter…. But the idea that I would subject myself to walking up to one of those snotty little bitches who work the front desk at “Sports Authority”, to return a Jock-Strap… and when I say this… Know when I say “Snotty Little Bitches” I mean both the men and woman who work that register.
I guess I decided to post to this blog, to celebrate spring..... and the coming cycling year.
Friday, November 23, 2007
so, I decide to do some blog reading... Wholly shit there are a ton of Utah bike blogs....
you go away for a year, and WTF happens, Blogs come out of the woodwork....
Like a fish out of water out there.... But... You know, you can't go home again.

This was funny, I figured I'd share....
(If It was good enough for your parents, and your original campaign(s) for senate it's good enough for me(I also have a thesis that people that insist on nicknames are lunatics(I'm sure you’re the exclusion and not the rule( Why not "Conan", or "third leg" if you get to pick.))).
Dear, soon to be Former Mayor Anderson, or should I refer to you as the Artist formerly known as "The Political activist, Mayor Anderson".
As you end your term in office, I wanted to thank you for all of your service to the City. I also want to note, your continued ability prioritize your time in such productive ways, and thank you for being my surrogate father.
As the Mayor of the city, I'm very happy to see you take time away from the important tasks of making this city run more effectively on it's limited tax base, and provide important services for the common welfare of it's citizenry. I'm a life long democrat, activist, common "Dubja" dissenter and to see you take up the important task of fighting those horrible "bottles of water", makes me proud to be associated with you.
I'm a long time water connoisseur, and avid reader of health and science texts, and wanted to point out the numerous studies that have shown the danger of fluoridation in water and its ties to thyroid problems. Which could be one of the numerous causes, in addition to their fast food, video game lifestyle, of the epidemic of plump little kids we seem to be seeing. Sure, I'd rather get some purified water from the tap, than be served with a Glistening plastic bottle, at my table, but what I would really like is if only we could find some people in our local government to help us with some of the other fights, things like raising awareness and ridding the fluoridation from our water. Do you happen to know such people in our local political system? who could attempt to affect such change? Maybe you could call them, when you're not busy with press conferences about bottled water.
Maybe you also have noted the toxicity in the ground water, on the west side of the Valley, that an infamous copper mine, keeps swearing they have "Taken Care of", that for many years has leaked into the taps of the residence there, maybe this can be the next "Cause Du-Jour" you could pick up the baton for, or doesn’t that come onto your radar as an activist, in your fight against tragic "Bottles" at high end restaurants in both Salt Lake and Park City. I can certainly understand that it is a much lower priority problem.
I'm with you sir, if only someone in local politics had the time and could do something about these things, but there is so little time, and where does it all go?
Let me just reiterate my appreciation for your ability to prioritize those fleeting minutes of time, you have remaining in office, to affect some real change, continuing to use them effectively in dealing with the truly important tasks that challenge this community in our daily lives and for being a shining example of good governance. I continue to thank you for spending a few of the precious moments of my life, listening one of your infamous rants about, whatever your rant du-jour is. When will people learn to not load our land-fills with those bottles? I just can't see how people sleep at night. "Garbage, in the landfill...... what is wrong with people!?".
That is it! I'm calling for a boycott of all the "High End" restaurants. But where will people eat? Heaven forbid that someone cook a meal, and generate all that other garbage, that surrounds all that food from the grocery store. As my surrogate father, I need some kind of answer about what to do. As I hide under the covers of my bed, waiting for some answer to these hideous problems. Shaking and shivering, too afraid to sleep, as the empy bottles line up in my nightmares, and attack me with their, lip cutting, broken plastic ways. As my only sustenance is tap water, into my handmade ceramic cup, purchased from politically correct starving(for a good latte) Park City Arts Festival artists(oh, and maybe a little lemon). Maybe I can go outside and chew on some dirt, Heaven forbid I open a package of seeds and grow a garden. But Alas, I'll be too weak.... and with my remaining breath, I'll lay there, gasping "Daddy....Rocky... Rosebud...*choke*".
But I digress.
On a personal note, as you fade from the public view, and as I am person, who has taken satisfaction from your numerous failures, preferably in the primaries, in all your aspirations to a higher office. I would like to encourage you, to add your name to the long list of rambling personalities on the radio and/or as a frequent "Talking Head" on local television programs, as opposed to wasting your "special talents", seeking higher office. Further, if you could switch to some other... Green party or other Wing-nut organization, I would appreciate it....or have you ever considered being a Libertarian? or Federalist?.... they have some great ideas.
May I even hazard the suggestion that you're wasting your impressive skills here in Utah, fighting for the common rights of Gastronomy Democrat customer, and that those abilities be taken to maybe California, or Seattle, Massachusetts maybe, here you are just to far ahead of the curve on these issues, for us slow witted hick democrats, worried about petty things like, collapsing housing markets, employment, feeding our families, staying healthy and paying insurance and medical bills.
Maybe you could get into an argument with Ann Coulter next, wouldn't that be fun? But would you degrade yourself to that level? I think you could manage, as long as it advanced your celebrity. Have you sent her a letter with your thoughts on the issue? But I doubt she is well versed in the whole "Bottled water, Land-fill dynamic".. she is a quick study, I think she can catch up. You really are the JFK democrat our party needs.
I'm thinking about having some T-shirts printed, "FREE THE YUPPIE WATER, FROM THE IMPERIALIST SHACKELS OF IT'S BOTTLE."(To Long?) Maybe we can go to liberty park, get high and pray to Gaia that some solution is found, to the number one priority of Local Government... Bottled Water. Have you suggested to the party that they initiate the new slogan "Democrat, we are all about the bottled water.". You have missed your calling, some of the national political campaigns could really use your help, Call Obamma, Call Clinton, This needs to be the lynch pin of their platforms. Do you think we can get a National petition going?... Constitutional amendment?
Thank you once again,
Fluoride in my toothpaste,
My politicians understanding priorities;
Keep the potholes filled,
And provide for the common welfare.
%$%^^- Fortunately of West Jordan.
P.S. I hope you understand irony. Let me further suggests that your remaining time in office may probably be better spent, picking up the trash from around the city and county building,(maybe you could have that trash recycle it into ceramic cups), Maybe a dust mop, or broom? but I would hate for you to actually accomplish something.
P.P.S Get over it, it's a bottle in a landfill, Al Gore you're not. You may not win a Peace prize, But you may be eligible for a Darwin Award.... and Publishers Clearing house is totally open.
P.P.P.S As a high level party democrat, do you know if it's possible to have someone banned from the party? I guess I'll have to make some phone calls.
Follow up:
So, The trib sent me a reply: "Sorry, we don't publish third party letters.". Admittedly, I didn't expect/anticipate them to publish it..... Couple Reasons:
- The Salt Lake Tribune, is filled with Coward, paper-pushers... Who honestly avoid anything Journalistic, and just republish The Associated Press.(someone remind me why print is dead.)... Why do you think there is a huge emergence of faux-news.
- Who do you thing the Latte Drinking-Ceramic Cup having-Gastronomy Democrats are??? SLTrib staff.
- Third Party letter- As an Open Letter, it's not actually "To" Ros/Rocky... What it is is an Open Public Challenge.... and what is a News Paper for Besides that. But Like I've covered, The Tribune is a bunch of Ham-Handed, Latte Drinking Pussies, who wouldn't understand journalisum or thier place in serving the public good. If it hit them in the face like a Brick. The Open Letter is an Opinion/letter to the editor to "The Public", and Ross, as a memeber of the "Public" is not a Third Party, he is Part of the Second Party. But Like I said, Ham Handed, Latte Drinking, Gastronomy Democrat, Morons. Even Stupider, is that if a letter to the editor wasn't an "Open" letter... They couldn't publish it, The legal standard of ownership
Just to let Y'all know, there will be a resurgence over the next 20 years of the Industrial-Union-Blue Collar Democrat. I'm sure you ask? I didn't even know they existed?... Yes, and post JFK they are/were the backbone of the democratic party... all the way till the 1980's.. When they faded away, Democrats started losing, but To put it into today's nomenclature- The NASCAR Dads are going to be pissed they don't have good jobs and are losing their homes, under the republicans and will come back.
I also believe, they didn't believe that I'm a liberal/democrat and this was a conservative Ploy, since a lot of these charges were leveled against Ross, by that Asshole-Moron Sean Hannity... More Conservatives ruining my legitimate Criticism, Because of their Polarizing Bullshit... Thanks again Asshole.

Wow!!! Escelation
From Wiki:
In the United States, a person who learns of the crime and gives some form of assistance before the crime is committed is known as an "accessory before the fact". A person who learns of the crime after it is committed and helps the criminal to conceal it, or aids the criminal in escaping, or simply fails to report the crime, is known as an "accessory after the fact". A person who does both is sometimes referred to as an "accessory before and after the fact", but this usage is less common.
Please do not message me with information on this, If you have info you have a civic duty here. All it does is places me in even more awkward positions. At this point, beyond assisting the police however I can, I don't want to get further involved.

Disappointment
For the Most part, I'm an optimist. I like to see the best in people. Yes, I know that in reality, most of us are pond drinking, bottom sucking Scum. This doesn't mean that I don't hope the best for us. Instead of a world of Zero-Sum games, and Cut throat politics. Millions of people looking for happiness at the bottom of a Shot Glass, a Syringe, the Boob Tube, or in the virtual world of a video game.
I like to hope and think we can be better. A world where a broader morality exists. You see, it's only those with limited intellectual capacity that exist in such Dark and Gloomy worlds. They don't understand how "cutting off someone else's legs, doesn't make you any taller". These are the soda stealers, the selfish assholes in this world that not only aren't helping themselves, but hurting everyone else. People who I would be embarrassed to call my friends. People who never learn to "Catch a Fish", because they are to busy trying to steal one.
So, Mr. Stalker, Fear Monger, Angry emotionally stunted boy. I'm lucky because I can smell that kind of maladjusted, 12-14 year old mentality miles away. Hell I'm embarrassed when I act like I'm 24 years of age. I just can't imagine the Hell your stuck in. You can think that because you haven't been caught your getting away with something. You don't realize that your not, regardless of if your actually convicted of something, People stay away from you. Get help, the road your on only leads to Jail or an institution. it's the first step toward your recovery to get some real help.
Do it while you still have a chance.
Your Jokes aren't "a little off", and regardless of your promises to yourself, or others, it's just a matter of time before it's "a little off" again. There have to be some lucid moments that you realize something is seriously wrong with you, when your acting like Mission Impossible in someone Else's house.
Well, it's official. I'm embarrassed to have ever known you, or of you. I imagine there may be, or may have been a decent part of you. It's too bad that this fucked up side of you, upstages any good parts of who you are.
Flahut brings up a good point about my responsibility to keep you all away from someone who is showing significant Unbalanced and dangerous behavior. I weigh that against not creating a "Witch hunt". This is what I've come up with. I can only prove and be witness to a certain amount of his Criminal behavior. I think that most of you know who I'm talking about, and I hope to god, that word has gotten to you about who this is before you unwittingly expose yourself or your family to this person. Let your good sense be your guide.... There are just some people that you don't want near your home. Regardless that it's obvious to me, and should be to a lot of you. With the exception of that self delusion afforded with Denial, you should clue into who this is. Hopefully you have the good sense to keep him well beyond arms length. You can't be faulted for cautious behavior.
All of this is a good warning to me, and a reassurance of the Prudence of my anonymity. Also, Let me warn each of you that just because someone seems nice, doesn't mean that they won't end up idling in a car outside your home, waiting till you come home or till you leave. In this age of Media distractions, and Flights American Idol distractions, there are some people who develop some very fucked up ideas about how to behave, as latch key kids learn how to behave, not from their parents but from episodes of "The soprano's" and Tarantino movies.
I also don't envy the choices those of you who are actually involved, he needs help. Hopefully his friends are "Stepping up" to do what they can to get him help before it's to late..... Of course I pity you if someone you consider a "Friend" isn't worth that extra effort.
I guess some of you may find it "Gay" to show compassion to your friend... I pity that self imposed hell you find yourself in.
"oh, I'll just break into Julie's home." you thought......
It makes me nauseous just to think that you felt that was going to be "Ok" or Funny...........
We can be better.
One love.
