  • Standard for a Reason

    Our kitchen faucet was broken and crap, so we bought a new one.  I go to install it last night, and it did not go as well as I expected.  Switching a faucet is easy.  A complete dumbass should be able to do it.  It is never a good thing when you have to bust…

  • What Did I Just Do?

    I have complained how Time is a cold-hearted, high-maintenance bitch who is never pleased, and all she does is cost me my life.  I cannot leave her either.  I am stuck in this one-sided relationship.  I have way too much to do, and not enough time to do it.  It is counter-intuitive that I would…

  • Why Does Drama Follow?

    I never thought much about this, but I, apparently, have a good bit more drama than most – according to those I talk to.  I always seem to have some crazy stories.  The bad part is… I do not like drama.  I can deal with a little hear or there, but that seems to be…

  • Being Thankful

    It is difficult to be thankful.  With so much negativity around, and the wants and desires of being human, it is not easy to stop and be thankful for what we have, no matter how little (or much) that might be.  I have no reason why I should not be thankful, but all I can…

  • Has It Really?

    Has it really been three days since my last post?  Holidays have a fun way of making the passage of time go painfully slow during awkward and difficult family gatherings but fly by through a supposedly-long weekend.  It does not feel like I had four days off.  It feels like I got my ass kicked…

  • A Happy Belated Thanksgiving

    So, I am a little late on the Thanksgiving greetings.  Yesterday was a very busy day.  With the big lunch being at our house, it was a constant stream of activities from Wednesday after work until I went to bed last night.  We had a few hours of downtime, but that was mostly filled with…

  • In Line For LASIK

    I went for my “pre-op” for my LASIK surgery yesterday.  After watching the procedure done on my wife, I almost backed down.  The eyes are about the only thing I am squeamish about, but I am not going to puss out.  The dentist has to be 100 times worse.  That, I do a shot of…

  • Worthless

    Yesterday, I felt completely worthless.  I anxiously wanted to do something and get some work done, but there were too many things stacked against me.  I had to figure out my persuasive essay for this English Comp class, do a few more class tasks, and it was icy in the morning.  By the time it…

  • More Inspiration

    It has been a few days since the last post.  I was travelling, and working 12-16 per day leave little time to eating and drinking beer.  If I have a choice between turning on my machine and posting a topic or drinking beer, I am going to choose drinking beer, especially after a long day…

  • I Hate Trees

    “How could anyone hate tress?” you might ask.  I had a plan this weekend that was ruined by trees.  A few weeks ago, a tree fell onto my electric fence.  It pissed me off.  I cut it up and repaired the fence.  I got my excavator back shortly after and finished the barn extension and framing…
