Posting for posting's sake

Why do I post? Why not? Random thoughts.......if only I had some right now. Ok, working on about 3 hours sleep. Made it through Rescue Me despite two glasses of wine. Kids need not only go the f*** to bed, they have to STAY the f*** on bed. Today, work didn't totally suck, which frightens me to the core of my being. I'm drinking too much wine lately and I don't care. I'm what you call a cheap date. The saddest thing is that the only thing I do reasonably well is stage manage community theater shows. Surprisingly, there's not much money in that. Both republicans and democrats totally suck. I'm thinking of running for office on the No Nude Pitures ticket. I predict a landside victory. I'm semi-serious. I can't do worse than the assholes running things now, can I? I owe no one anything. I don't do the favors thing, and I hate bullshit. I might actually win, Who's voting for me? Hey, I could use the money.....

End of an era

I am a child of the 60's, born when Eisenhower was President, fer cryin' out loud. I grew up watching brave men put their trust in our former enemies mingled with amazing visonaries and hurtling their pink little bodies into the unforgiving void of space. I wanted to be one of them. I still do.

However, at shortly before 6AM on the 21st of July 2011, our manned space program will come to an obscene and absolute halt. If I want to fly in space, I'd better brush up on my Russian, because that's the only way we're getting out there for the forseeable future. We will have to hitch rides with the same losers that we beat in both the space race and the cold war. Never felt prouder, grumble, grumble grumble......

All I can say is that by late next week, everybody better be well fed and out of poverty.
