country days

I went downstate for a long weekend to visit my in-laws. It really was great to see them. To watch them interact this the kids is really special.  They are reaching an age where things are diminishing for them. They are both 80+ years old and you can start to see the frailty creeping in on them. I'm just glad that my kids have gotten to spend time with them and to know them as people.  

     They live a more simple life than I do being out in the country. Every one waves as you pass by. Sure there are rednecks and goofs in general, but I still think there is potential out in the sticks..... I still believe that people out there are still good people.  I still think there is more respect for the older generation out there than here (near big cities).  I also think that the mind set is slightly more closed off ... think 1976-1986 -ish. , but there is so much influence on the media that the real world seeps in to country life as well. 

    Life moves on its own pace there. That is so lost now a days .....

feeling old

I found out this week that a high school friend of mine has gall bladder cancer. Its the second one of my childhood friends that are dying. The longer you live the more you have a chance of losing. Life gives you great things , but eventually it will take them back. -- Im 42 and feeling old. I look in to the mirror and don't see myself any more.  Joints, hands, back and neck all hurt if they are not moving. If I blink a week will go buy with out notice. I know that I will see more and more friends pass on as I live. Its not a good thing but just a fact of life....  --- its faux depression settling in on me today. I just need a few days off ... I'll do that this weekend...

guy talk

Its been a few months since I've seen my guy friends. My wife used to think we would just get together and drink, but truth be told we just become guys. Not dads or brothers, sons and work mate we just become guys. We'll fart , joke , eat food we're not supposed to and drink pop. Watch violent kung fu movies and talk about comic books. We'll gab once or twice about the wife or kids as a courtesy , but its guy talk. Computer bits, BBC TV , vampire move and chicks.... Ours own group will split a 12 pack of beer over 5 hours, but its the shit talking that I love... I'll never know how and  what girls talk about when alone in their groups, but I love being a guy...

Obama hates your grandmother...

I'm so tired of this bullshit. These people who bad mouth the President with zero respect for office. Brithers and tea baggers, rush drones, hannady zombies etc...  spewing out vile fear mongering, hateful closeted racist  content. Obama wants to kill your grand mother, obama is a socialist, Obama don't care about white people, he's not a citizen, he's not MY president etc. etc. .  Its such mega fear in the plain and simple fact that a black man is in charge and this people just can not deal with ..... I really hope that this picture starts fractions in teh tea party. 

Personally I hated GW Bush , but I still respected him as the President. I would not vote for him nor did I but I respected the office. These vile right wingers are children that have never been told no and now have to face facts that Mc Cain and Pallin lost ... done its over. Please grow up and vote the way you want in 2012, but just stop with your bullshit.   These tea baggers are teh same people who run and complain to a manager Expecting to get somthing free.... The Internet is a beautiful thing , but it has created a sub-culture of self importance...
