Another year down, and another 584,058,571 miles around the Sun on this tiny blue rock we call Earth. I don’t know about you, but I’m fucking glad to see 2009 go! Let’s hope 2010 is a better year. I guess the first problem of the new year is how to say it. Do you say [...]
Stealing a line from Mark Twain, “the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Yeah. It’s been months since I’ve updated this stale little hobby of mine, so I guess I should spend some time typing an update. I have no excuses, except the same old bullshit that always keeps me from it; long commutes, [...]
The 1,017 page America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (a.k.a H.R. 3200, a.k.a. Obamacare) has become the latest hot-button topic in America. The bill was introduced on July 14, 2009, and luckily that ignominious gang of geezers couldn’t shove their two reams of bullshit up our collective unlubed ass before their August recess. Yep, [...]
Jesus fucking Christ! When will this medical joy ride end? It’s truly amazing to me that a simple blood test for cholesterol can lead to months of doctor visits, there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. We surveyed three so-called doctors and asked, “How many needles have you jammed into Jim’s arms in [...]
It wasn’t like any other day. I worked from home Thursday — starting around 7 in the morning until a little before noon — because my afternoon would be consumed by an affair with another woman… maybe two if I was lucky. The anticipation of the day made it difficult to concentrate, but I did [...]
We have a wellness program where I work. I don’t normally participate in such tomfoolery for several reasons, the first of which is I don’t like doctors and their holier-than-thou attitudes. They’re always asking you questions you’d rather not answer, and they appear to have a perverted predisposition to sticking things in, on, or up [...]
When I was a teenager of about 14 or 15, my Mom got a SLR for Christmas, which piqued my interest in cameras. I don’t remember exactly which model she had, but I seem to recall it was an Olympus OM-10, but I could be wrong. I know it was an Olympus camera, though. In [...]
…and another day closer to death. Pink Floyd lyrics aside, it’s that time of year for the sickness to befall upon me and make my life hell. In the fall, I went to the doctor and got an influenza vaccine. Apparently I fall into the high-risk (or maybe elderly) category for candidates that should get [...]
Damn, owning a vehicle can be expensive, even if you own a hooptie! You know what a hooptie is, even if you’re not familiar with the slang. A hooptie is a peice of shit car like Adam Sandler sang about. The windshield has seen more crack than Liane Cartman. It hasn’t been to a car [...]
It’s that time again, to sit down and put into words what I did for the past 52 weeks. These summation missives seem to come around all too quickly any more… but just like last year‘s annual holiday post, and the year before that, I give you a pair of great tits. It was a [...]
