Friday Thoughts

  • Why is the government interfering with Arizona law? Why would ANY law abiding citizen be against removing illegals? They aren't being executed, just sent back home.
  • Today I have been plagued with old people walking slowly in front of me. I want to rip my hair out.
  • Did I already mention that Wendy's is coming to Decatur? I think so.
  • So Donkey Kong will cost about 250.00 to bring back to life. That includes a neat add on that adds new levels to the game.
  • I have a MAME cabinet (a PC that emulates 90% of arcade games). Its in storage right right. Here's a pic...

Wednesday Thoughts

  • I got ahold of a Donkey Kong arcade machine Tuesday. I will see if it works. If not, I will make a MAME cabinet out of it.
  • Went to WinStar this weekend. FAIL.
  • That trip to the Galleria and Farmers Market... uuuuggggghhhhhhh.
  • News articles that prove this is the end times... Here Here
  • Watched Avatar on Blu-Ray. Wow. What an impressive movie.
  • Did you realize that Avatar is basically Pocahontas?
  • Was going to bring my VW Beetle to work to get it inspected but it died in the driveway as I was pulling out. Maybe its out of gas.
  • I have narrowed the issue with the riding lawnmower, the cylinders have crud build up and it's not allowing compression to happen easily. I will have to clean it out.
  • I have no idea how to do that so it will be a learning experience.
  • Wendy's is coming to Decatur! They have the best fast food hamburger I have ever eaten (the double meat).

Friday Thoughts

  • I saw Alice in Wonderland Wednesday night. Not sure what the big deal was. It was like watching another Shrek movie.
  • Got the lawnmower working again. I think it will just be a daily touch and go to get it working.
  • I think I found a NAS for my data. This Calavry one looks the right price and size.
  • The wife wants to go to the Dallas Farmer's Market and the Galleria this weekend... please put me out of my misery now! Need to take a book.
  • Just when you thought it could'nt get any more INSANE: The Paycheck Fairness Act.
  • Do these people not get it? When the ecomony relies on the growth of business they turn around and try to force companies to give up more money.
  • I'm sorry to always go on about politics, I can't help it! It's just so crazy!
  • This 'Act' is basically setting up the government to tell everyone how much they can make.
  • 1984... ring a bell?
  • Had a tooth filled today. It was basically painless. THAT is a good visit to the dentist.

Wednesday Thoughts

  • I watched 2012 last night on Blu Ray, it wasn't as bad as all the critics said it was. It was better than Al Gore's Day after Tomorrow. (ok, not Al Gore's).
  • The lawnmower wouldn't start last night. Arrrrhhhhggggg!!!!
  • I also cut down the last of the dead parts of the willow tree behind the house. Parts of it died after that lightning strike last year that zapped our AC unit.
  • Farkle is down on Facebook! Panic!
  • Looks like we are going to lower the price on the house one more time next month and then calling it quits if it doesn't sell. If we do find a buyer we will basically break even.
  • I have a put a crapload of money into that place. What a waste.
  • I feel like we were really taken when all this stuff showed up after we bought it. Remember that movie the money pit, like that.
  • Thursday we both get paid full paychecks for the first time in 2 years... time to pay off some debt!
  • Becoming financially solvent is a nice feeling.

Monday Thoughts

  • So, in the ObamaCare health bill... if you purchase more than $600 worth of bullion (gold, silver, etc) you have to fill out a 1099...................
  • In the the health care bill.......
  • This sort of sneakiness (which goes on all the time in Washington) is insidious.
  • I now have a Motorola Tundra cell phone, military grade plastic. Can handle this.
  • Chainsawed the 2 dead trees in the front yard this weekend. Looks so bare now.
  • Still no buyers. Or even lookers. This economy sucks royally.
  • According to the current government it's Bush's fault (even though he had a democrat congress).
  • So when the economy starts moving in the other direction, who's fault will that be?
  • Lemme guess...
  • So why do you go through all the trouble of a financial reform bill when 2 of the largest reasons for the disaster (FannieMae and FreddieMac) are totally left out of the reform?
  • Me and my coworker were just in that store (it's across the street from the hospital) last week and I noted that they were selling porn. Interesting.
  • Saturday was horrible. I got all the way into Fort Worth and forgot my wallet (after already ordering at McDonalds).
  • The walmart in Burleson TOTALLY changed inside. Everyone was walking around lost. It would have been funny if I weren't lost too.

Friday Thoughts

  • Doesn't the estate tax just seem obscene? You work all your life to acquire wealth and the government feels it has the right to take almost half of it. Fuck them!
  • The new Obama Health Care Stimulus Law is going to require that not only is your weight and height in your electronic medical record but your obesity rating (BMI) will be required as well...
  • That's so they can open the door to punishing fat people by taxing them or making them pay more for heath care in the future... MARK MY WORDS.
  • I want to see a blood bath at the polls this year... and I want to see all this crap repealed.
  • Got in the pool because it was hot yesterday. Expecting nice cool water... it like getting into a warm bath... yuck.
  • Have you tried the mini-funnel cakes at Jack in the Box? It's nice you don't have to wait for the stock show or state fair to have one now!
  • The house is still not sold. It's not even showing. Man this economy is crappy.

Wednesday Thoughts

  • Well, after much work it looks like my riding lawnmower is for the graveyard. I just don't know enough more about it to keep it going. EDIT - I got it working again with the help of a neighbor!
  • I had a guy come mow the yard yesterday since I was still working on the mower. They didn't show up until 8:45PM and finished at 9:50PM. How in the heck can you mow in the dark?
  • There is something new going in in front of the IGA Foodliner (now called Marketplace) in Decatur. I wonder if it will be the CVS they are talking about...
  • I never understood calling a grocery store Foodliner.
  • I watched the new Star Trek last night on blu ray. Still don't like all the light glares they added for effect.
  • It has been revealed that the Senator's race in Minnesota might have been WRONG. As it turns out 300+ ineligible criminals voted for Franken and he won by that many votes. politics is such a joke.

Monday Thoughts

  • So, the government decided to STOP the airlines from stranding passengers inside airplanes for hours by making them pay fines (when there is some runway delay)... What happens now? Instead of incurring all these fines, the airlines just cancel the flights right before the fines incur! Thanks government!
  • I watched Episodes 2 & 3 of the Star Wars Trilogy yesterday. Man, Lucas needed a ghostwriter. Yikes the script is bad! It's scifi, not Shakespeare.
  • This weekend was another 'douche bag drivers' weekend.
  • The starter for the lawn mower should be here today, so I will be mowing until dark.
  • When your grass gets too high the bugs get too big.
  • Anyone else notice we have had a very bad year for red wasps?
  • I get first notice of who is a bout to be fired here at work (in relation to cutting their account access). Interesting job.

Friday Thoughts

  • I feel Obama might be the first president that isn't *for* America. He seems more interested in changing things that he and his party feel is right for them... not America.
  • If you are president you need to be 'all about America'.
  • Scared a poor little three foot snake while I mowing yesterday (with the push mower).
  • The riding mower is out of commission while I wait on a new starter.
  • That thing has had so many parts replaced I think it's officially a 'kit' mower.
  • I think 'sick' is the best Young Ones episode.
  • 5th Anniversary yesterday. Bought a ridiculously expensive edible bouquet.
  • I have read reports that Caucasians will possibly become the minority in 2011. Other reports say 2050. When ever that is... it will be VERY interesting to see what happens.
  • VERY INTERESTING.
  • Lebron James is going to sign with the Nicks, right? He is a heavy Obama supporter and Obama is all about wealth redistribution... If he goes to New York he will be able to give 12 million in extra state taxes out of his contract so the poor people can have more... he do it will right??? Wrong. If you remember my rant long ago I said that liberals are ALL MOUTH but when it comes time to actually put your money where you mouth is, they are phony. At least conservatives are honest about wealth making/keeping.
  • People are starting to claim that the 10% tan tax is racist... I never really thought about that... interesting. It is redistributing the wealth from white to lazy people (oops, poor people).
  • Do you ever try the links on the left? Try the English Russia one. I am always amazed when you see $400,000 cars sitting in Russia slums.

Monday Thoughts

  • Finally took some money home from WinStar last week. It's about time.
  • I think everyone should be required to take drivers education every ten years.
  • The starter is out on my riding lawn mower. At this point I feel the mower is a 'kit mower' cause I've replace so many parts.
  • I bought a Blu Ray burner last week with the disaster donations I collected. Time to back up!
  • The pool at WinStar has to have a lifeguard on duty at all times (thanks to the booze). Did I mention the pool is only four feet deep?

Wednesday Thoughts

  • There was this item at the gas station called a toy bowl. It looks ALOT like a bong. The top part contains a toy and the 'bowl' part has juice in it. Suspicious!!!
  • You won't believe this shit but my 'reconstructed' hard drive (after the HD disaster fell over and broke too). I kid you not. Could ANYONE be unluckier.
  • I am going to WinStar tonight. Going to see just how unlucky I am.
