2006


Well 2006 has gone out like a lion. Four people that I have never met had died this month). Each one of these people had influenced me in one way or the other. Joseph Barbara of Hannah-Barbara cartoon. Much of my childhood memories is filled with one of his creations. From Tom and Jerry to Jabberjaw and many many more. Mr Gerald Ford, I don't know....ant president that appeeres on the Simpsons and played football cant be all that bad. James Brown, his music was part of the soundtrack to my life. Saadam Hussain , he made me worry back in 1990 that I would be sent in to the first oil war. I know what he did was wrong. So many people died under his rule. In the end I felt bad for him.
This week has been rather busy at work. Decembers dim Sun hanging in the air for a few short hours. The dark seeps in at about 4pm. Even though Christmas has just barley passed I am very much past it in my head.
I very much need to take vacation time this year. I know I said it last year too. I know I work way too much. I stopped and took a look at my time working in the last year. In an average 2 weeks I put in close to and usually about 60 hours in a week. Plus phone time on my cell. I have 40 hours of sick time comming to me and 4 days of vacation time that I need to use by March. Its no wonder that when I get home I eat watch tv and go to sleep. I need to win the lottery. All I want is a jack pot of about $28 million. 14 million will go to taxes and the rest I can live on and forget the world for weeks at a time. ...... I do wish for all of those that read this little corner of cyberspace the best for 2007. Hold those that love you close and think about those you can't. Peace , Mr Crane.

Trapped by lazyness...

Ahhh Sunday. The Lords day. Well it is for many people this day was my day.
The wife took my 2 boys to a waterpark with my sister and newphew. They had
left by 11am. I was hungry by game time but was too lazy to go out for
food. I also didnt want to deal with delivery I was hungry now.... It was a
frozen food day. Lil mini pizzas, fish sticks and meatloaf dinners..... Now
I did not have it all at one time. It was spaced out through out the day. A
little before the game, a nap, a little after. Even the dogs were in a lazy
mood. They passed out next to me as I napped from 3 til 5 pm. I had teh
phone off and only had teh TV on for the game. Did I have stuff to do?
Sure I did , we all do. Sometimes that can wait. I felt like Homer Simpson
about to make a grilled carmel butter waffle..... Ahhh sacralicious... If
any one rads this I hope that you do take time in a buzy holiday season to
stop and take some time for your self. Buy your self a gift. I used to go
and buy my self a new aftershave every year at Christmas time. I haven't
done that since the kids arrived. I think I'm due.... Laters all.

Grey skies and cold hearts..


As it gets closer to christmas I find that people are at their worst.
Looking for gifts because they "have to" rather than want to. Crazy sales
that draw out the dregs of society. The ones that shop for hard to get
items to make a scaping on. Spoiled kids with the I wants.... The whole
thing makes me turn toward the state of no religion. No gods no masters.
There are people that bow down to anything, politics, money, power and sex.
There are others that transcend that and actually go above and beyond to do
something for others. I havent gotten there yet. Im in the state where I
just stopped caring. Maybe I just need a little sunlight to make feel
better. I just look for the holidays to be over. ....

Lost Days....


Wow I lost a day today.... Yesterday I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Birthday parties and my "Holiday" party at work. It was fun and my oldest son was on stage during a magic show. So I was out of the house form 12 - 7 pm. By the tie I put the kids to bed and relaxed it was 10 pm. Today I was scheduled off of work so I went through the morning thinking that it was Sunday. The I picked up my son from school. I lost some time. Next think I knew it was midnight and I'm here writing. I guess I finally started using the on demand thing on cable. In the past few days Ive seen most of the Rocky movies again and I just watched Zardoz.... my god what I piece of crap that was. May be for 1974 it was fun but today .... wooo hooo wow. Not so much.

Things I have learned from Zardoz
**BAdMovies.org!!!**

Having a disembodied head for your announcer is not a good start.
Ammo can be a fashion statement.
Your memories are from a third person perspective!
Nets look pretty sexy on a girl.
Erections sound like guitars.
If you kiss a girl and she doesn't kiss back - SHOTPUT HER ASS!
Immortality causes impotency.
Human genetic structure looks like a jellyfish
Flowers are an impassable barrier.
Sean Connery looks pretty darn good in a wedding dress, sets a guy to thinking...
People can remain in one place for sixty years.

More Helpers...


Santas Helpers?

Bad Santa
Anti Santa

Good Santa

Bah humbug


I love Christmas. I hate the Christmas season. From Nov 1 to Jan 7 sucks. The consumerism and midnight sales ... for what to help remind me of the birth of Christ? I have a friend whose family does exchange presents but also sings "Happy Birthday to Jesus" on Dec25. I liked that. If your out shopping for christmas dont forget to put a little christ in to that day as well. As for me I want to crawl in to a rock and sleep until its over. The one thing I truley look forward to during Christmas is my moms Tamales...... Now that my friends is good eats.
