1. For What
It’s Worth

235 Days and counting
Writer’s Block
I kind of have a
bit of writer’s block at the moment. I
guess that is why I write a lot when the moment hits me. I do write some
narratives in advance and put them in a narrative library, if you will. This
way when I get stuck and my mind is not putting out issues to write about I
have a fall back option available to utilize. It is usually some rant I have
that I need to let go of or some observation I have made and would like to
share. Some days I have a lot to write about and some days I got nada. That is
just the way it happens some days. No rhyme or reason for either condition.
Some days I have
something negative to write about that I am hesitant to do so because some
readers think I may be talking about them or some may take it personally when
it was never intended to be that way. I
try to let some things I write about simmer for a day or two before I publish
it, just for that reason alone. So, if you read something I write and you think
it is about you, you might want to rethink that thought. It just may be only a
coincidence because I know a lot of people and I will not attack someone
intentionally using this semi-public medium.
Go Blackhawks!
One more game to
win and our Blackhawks get to move on to the Western Conference Finals, to
either face the LA Kings or the Anaheim Ducks. LA is currently up 2-1 in that
best of 7 series. I could be a repeat of last year’s Western Conference Finals,
hopefully with the Blackhawks coming out victorious once again. It is funny to
see all the fair-weather fans in Southern California that come out during the
playoffs when one of their teams is still in the running. So, to all you
fair-weather fans, get ready for some serious disappointing days ahead. The
Blackhawks are on schedule to make it back-to-back Stanley Cup Championships!
This historical milestone is for the entire world to see… the hockey dynasty of
this decade!
Go Blackhawks!
Really Roughing
It
I saw this new
show called Alaskan Bush People about
this family of 11 who all apparently live in a one-room cabin located in rural
Alaska. Talk about too close for
comfort! How did they make the younger
kids when the other kids were sleeping in the same room? Talk about an awkward situation and they have
9 kids! Geez, I guess dear old dad did not care who was watching or listening
to the beast with two backs reproducing more offspring. Some weird stuff had to
be going on in that cabin some nights. Maybe they sent all the kids out to go
hunting for lunch and supper? Could you imagine trying to do that with all
those kids around? Lots of pressure
there if you ask me.
Formula One
Championship
This past
weekend the F-1 Racing community was in Barcelona, Spain for the Spanish Grand
Prix which was won again by Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes PETRONAS Racing, making
it 4 in a row for Hamilton and five in a row for his Team Mercedes in the
constructor’s championship. Looking dominant once again, The Silver Arrows were
off and running and finishing just as they started 1 & 2 on the grid. It
looks like they will run away with the championship easily by replacing Team
Red Bull Racing and the four time World Champion, Sebastian Vettel as the premier
front-runner. Scuderia Ferrari seems to
be wallowing in third place having only making it to the podium once with a
third place effort in Shanghai only just a few short weeks ago. The Grand Prix
of Monaco is the next race to take place in the historic and unchanging streets
of Monte Carlo, a race I would love to see in person.
It would most
likely cost me half of my retirement pay to do so.
Things That Piss Me Off:
Trying to act too cool in photos
I hate when peeps try to look so cool in their photos. They
think if they flash two fingers backwards that it is a peace sign. Well, that
ISN’T a peace sign you idiot! A peace
sign is displayed with your folded fingers facing outwards toward the camera
and the two with the V upright. Mostly these are young wannabe hipsters who
have no idea what the heck they are doing, but they know they are just way too
cool and have to validate that perception in a photo for all of us to see that
they are really stupid. Go ask a hippie
or former hippie how to do it properly and get it right, dumbass.
