Whew!

Well, my boss came down from up north today and man was I nervous. He took a tour of my workplace and visited with several managers and other major folks in the area. It was a good thing they all had nice things to say about me (man I was worried there). He left and I went to pick up my parents at the airport. They had a nice flight and arrived safely. Thank God for that.
Tomorrow is my last day at work before I head out on a much-needed vacation! I may or may not blog much during that time, but you never know....

I'm stressed out!!!

Well, I'm getting ready to head out on vacation, but before that happens, I've got enough stuff going on to kill me first. My boss is coming down from up north, my parents are coming down later the same day, I'm preaching my latest sermon before I leave and I've got enough work without thinking about all that other stuff to last me until I leave and beyond...Oh well...

Just pray that I make it through this week, o.k.

Does someone want to take charge of my crazy life?

Wanted: Someone to make sense and take charge of my life...

Qualifications--
Must know me inside and out and understand that there will be points in my life that are unfixable (i.e. parents, relatives, etc.). Also must be able to mend fences with people I offend, be able to cook a good meal and be willing to go bowling or shopping or any number of other things. Also needs to be able to talk at odd hours of the day or night.

Why would you want this position? Because you're a glutton for punishment and couldn't care less about the fact that you won't get paid for it!

Lastly, must be able to find me a woman that will love me for who I am and make sure that person is a good fit for me.

--
Obviously, I'm not going to find any takers for this job (unless they're certifiably insane, lol), but I thought it would make a good, cynical statement for my year.

I need someone to keep me...

...from putting my foot in my mouth! Whether its in real life or in a chat room, I will say something that although it may be honest, I put my foot in my mouth and hurt someone or offend them. Even though I am sorry and apologize, it still hurts that person and even me from time to time. But what can I do? I'm not going to lie because it's convenient. It's not going to happen.

OK, I think I've had enough of this President!

Remember, I'm an INDEPENDENT! I will bash both Dem's/Repug's equally.

That being said, after reading what our President Bush has said this week, I am now firmly in the belief that he either has his head so far up his behind that he can't see anything except the crap he's pushing, or he's that naieve to believe his "yes-men" (so-called advisors) and trust what they are saying to be truth. Either way, he's proving himself to be more and more incompetent to hold the office of POTUS! So, from now on (until I determine that he's dug himself out of the hole he's dug for himself), I will be calling him President Bush-league!

Hurricane Katrina was a devastating blow to our nation and showed just how unprepared we are to help our own folks when they needed it most. President Bush-league should have over-ruled the mayor of NO and governors of LA and MS BEFORE the hurricane hit. He should have had troops on the ground within 24 hours and started the cleanup and rescue efforts within 48. After all, that's what we're supposed to do in case of terror attack, right? Well, this wasn't a terror attack, but terror reigned supreme in the days after Mother Nature took her blows on those poor folks. Sure, he went on TV Thursday to try and mend fences and take blame, but it was too little, too late. Then he says that the American people will be able to take on the additonal BILLIONS of $$$s in debt without raising taxes. I'd like to know where he's getting his money from and how I can tap into it! If he thinks that letting generations to come pay for his dealings now will be good, then he's more Bush-league than anyone could have ever imagined. He is supposed to be a Christian, right? Well, in that case then we shouldn't be in as deep in debt as we are as a country unless he's not following his Bible (which makes him a hypocrite). Now I understand that debt should be balanced, but this is getting WAY out of hand. Foreign countries own the majority of our debt and believe me, if they decide to cash in early, we could be in deep trouble! President Bush-league needs to understand that the rich people he gave tax cuts to can afford to give a little bit back in taxes, while the poor and lower middle-class could stand to have a few more tax breaks handed their way just so they can survive.

That's the way I see it, and I'm hopping off my soapbox...

Is there such a thing as being a nice jerk?

My observations on women have been that all the nice guys get shafted, while all the jerks get any woman they want. So, what I'm trying to figure out is if it is possible to be a nice guy, yet also be a jerk? Well, I can't seem reconcile it, because to be honest, in my opinion, they're totally opposite each other. I will admit that when I was in college, I tried being a jerk for a while and I went out on tons of dates, but the moment I went back to being a nice guy, I was dateless. So, if I were to combine the two, maybe I could find my balance. Who knows....

Apparently I'm sweet, but not for her....

Well, I asked a woman out, and I got an interesting response. She said that I was "sweet" to ask, but that she wasn't interested in being anything more than friends. Apparently that's all I am to anyone these days--friends and nothing more! Why is it that I make a great friend, and a great husband, but not someone to date or fall in love with? Am I that naieve? Or am I just undeserving to be loved? My stbew said that she could only see us being friends when she left. That after 6 years of marriage. What am I? Destined to be a friend forever?

I must have "insert phrase here" written all over me!

Well, after deciding to "shake up" my life and go out and do something different, I discovered that either I have the adult version of "cooties", or I must emit signals that say "stay away from this guy!" I went and talked to a few women, but they all ditched me as soon as possible. Oh well, I guess I won't be doing that activity for a while. Can it be that hard to meet someone nice these days? Apparently it is...

I hate being sick and alone...

There's nobody to take care of you when you're alone and get sick. I miss when my stbew used to get me things like chicken noodle soup and crackers. Or when she'd play games just to keep me from being totally bored. No, being alone and sick is the absolute pits! Sure, I have my 2 cats, but all they want to do is keep me awake to play with them or give them attention which is hard when all I'm trying to do is sleep!

I'm sick!

Really, I am. I caught some bug over the weekend and I am feeling it today! I may stay home from work if it keeps up like this! I'll be back to my blogging self sometime later, but until then, just stay away from me and understand if I try to stay away from you...

Should've Known Better

It's 3am on Sunday morning. I came home from a night on the town trying to get rid of the painful memories that I'm feeling right now, but all I come up with is...

"Another sleepless night I can’t explain
Somebody said they heard me call your name
The radio won’t let you leave my mind
I know it’s over but I don’t know why

Chorus:
Should’ve known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Should’ve known better
Now I’m a prisoner to this pain
And my heart still aches for you

There was no risk that I wouldn’t take
And not a promise that I didn’t make
All I asked was that you just hold on
And now I’m wondering what I did wrong

Chorus

I gave you all of my body and soul
Never believing we might lose control
I took my hands off the wheel

I can’t remember if the lies were true
It’s been a million years since I touched you
I thought time might help me win this game
But being away from you is slowly driving me insane

Chorus out"
R. Marx...back in the day...

This is how I feel right now. I risked putting my heart out on the line and all I got in return was a bunch of ashes after she burned it up and gave it back. Yet, all it does is yearn all the more for her. Is that even possible? Maybe I need to take my own advice and just move on, but as a human being, I know that emotions are at times irrational when it comes to the person feeling them. And of course, we always yearn for what we cannot have. My life sucks!

Welcome to My Life

Welcome to My Life

Annie and I seem to be going through similar things lately from opposite, yet sometimes common sides of the coin. She thinks guys suck & I think that women suck, when the fact is we're both looking at the wrong thing. Reality is that there are always going to be a bunch of bad apples on both sides, there are some o.k. ones in the middle and a few "perfect" ones that rise to the top. The problem is we're usually at the bottom looking up and all we see are rotten apples. Maybe I need someone to shake up the barrel!
