Working on Zen Garden
#1 Beach in the USA
Nice Boat
Hello boys and girls. Its Saturday and a cloudy day out. Yesterday was a mellow day and frankly, I am enjoying them more and more. I guess being 50 induces some life changes like my weight starting to rise like pop N Fresh dough. I think I am gonna have to start walking to work or get a cheap bike since my metabolism is slowing down (Thought I would miss that life change) Well, I am at least still healthy and for this I am thankful.
Cute Cat at Sailing Store

Ned got his boat repair completed and today we plan to go sailing. I hope to have good video of that experience of this.  Yesterday morning, I assisted in the creation of a Zen Garden. A truck came by and dumped the stones at 9 am and then we smoothed out the stone. Its looking good. We went to Siera Beach and it was a HUGE beach. They have large concession stands which serve food and beer. They EVEN let you bring the beer to the beach. Man what a difference  from every other beach I have been to. I did hear that there are moves to ban beer on the beach since some drunk fools killed a woman jogging 3 weeks ago. Always the fools who make it worse for the rest of us. We then went back home and had a cookout.
A nice Viea

Feb 23rd: Anna Maria Island

A nice employee at the Cool Store
Ned's Boad
Well, Yesterday I went to Anna Maria Island on the Gulf Coast. Man, the Ocean was cool and I could swim in it. The sun was setting on the same side as the ocean which was pretty cool. We went to a cute shopping area and I went to the coolest little store. It's called Backalley (Wild Treasures for Funky Souls.) There was the typical tourist stuff but they had a little bar and I was able to enjoy a few beers while my friend did some window shopping.
Downtown Sarasota
The owner was real cool and asked me what I thought of Santorium. She did not like the Florida Gov too much. He is a bald right-wing fool, I agreed. Later, we went to a place called the Cock N Bull. They had 400 different beers on display and the pizza was not so bad. I am having some leftovers right now along with my can of Heineken. We are now awaiting

A Nice Trip

The 1st Hooters in Clearwater FL
At Spring Training
Cool Suspension Bridge
8 Miles High
I am up at my friend's house. The flight went smoothly via Southwest. I saw the Phillies Spring Training Park called Brighthouse Field. I missed the Phillies practice but it was cool to check out the area which includes the Carpenter complex. On the way to the Spring Training complex, I saw the very fist Hooters. Yup, that place.They just renovated and have a tourist store. It was funny for sure. I saw the coolest sunset at the sailing club my friends are a member of. The water is a greenish blue that you don't see on the jersey shore.  Well that's all forks

"Computer:OFF"

I recently showed off how I turn on and off my kitchen light in my apartment. My friend was duly inpressed as you see by his comments below
It turns out that the company that makes the IntellaVoice dimmer also makes a StarTrek version: http://vossystems.com/productstartrek.htm In the StarTrek version, you say things like "Computer: Lights at 50 percent" and "Computer: Disengage Lights" and it has real sound from the StarTrek computer (TV series version). "Engage Auxilliary Lights" turns on the night light.
That is too funny!!! The perfect gift for your Trekky Friend. I can feel like Captain Kirk and my apartment is the Star Ship Enterprise. Boy, I would impress a woman at a Star Trek Convention when I brought her home and/or I would make my friends and family worry that I have gone over the deep end. Way too funny. Thanks bro for sharing that. Here is another DEMO of this high-end technology! Have a great day my friends!

GOP just goes further to the right

I just can't believe how the GOP just goes further to the right. I mean, where is it going to end? I think the base (or a part of it) just CAN'T handle a black president. They are willing to say ANYTHING and throw ANYTHING at President Obama. Anger is their gateway to try to get working class whites and the "independent" voter blinded. Blinded to the fact that President Obama is the ONLY adult in the room. My friend Dave commented on the Daily Kos Blog and shared this Paul Krugman classic.

Why Mitt Sucks!!

Take it away Bill!!

Political Insanity

OUCH!! MY HEAD HURTS!!
I have been wanting to get my act together enough to just comment on today's Republican Party and their candidates. Now that I have curtains, I can proceed with this screed! Cause I feel the need that is not being satisfied with the media or anyplace elese for that matter...but I digress..My big head hurts and I need it bad!
 I am just stupefied that BIRTH CONTROL of all Fu*%ing issues is now controversial. I mean didn't we as a society come to a consensus that birth control and contraception is GOOD THING??
Oh but NO,  because President Obama is calling for birth control to be paid for by private insurance we have jackasses telling women to put aspirin between their legs. Well, for the love of my dear Grandmother, what the hell is going on here? Why is the media not calling them out on this shit?
I mean Rick Santorum is questioning the ENTIRE concept of public education and he is the F-ing FRONT RUNNER in the Republican primary.
Help me give them some meds please or I just need to beg them to take mine!!
I mean the Republican primary voter goes though the man of the month club like some go though flirting or speed-dating (I never did the speed dating thing).  I mean it went Trump, Buchanan, Perry,  Gingrich,  and now Rick Santorum. I mean PLLEEEEESSEE....!! Stop this merry-go-round, I want to get off.......to Florida and go  to Spring Training.

Well, this rant about the politics of this 2012 is just  minor league compared to this on written by Jim Wright and his blog Stonkettle Station. He goes off on this Republican field in most descriptive way and with colorful and exciting use of the English language without getting laid! Here is just part of this funny and spot on remarks:
The absurd amount of paint-chip eating, baboon faced, nose picking, dimwitted verbal diarrhea in this election season is fast approaching a level of frothy double-thinking stupidity that even an avowed political junkie like yours truly finds simply astounding. During the Super Bowl, an American icon narrates a commercial about optimism and bringing jobs back to a depressed American city and buying a Chrysler – and the noose and torch waving extremists led by Karl Rove go absolutely monkey shit, accusing Clint Eastwood, Clint The Man With No Name Eastwood for fuck’s sake, of shilling for President Obama and being anti-American. Clint Eastwood. Because, optimism, you see, is obviously a communist plot by Muslim Bilderberg Illuminati to save one of the largest remaining American industries and a couple million jobs in the Midwest in order to destroy capitalism, kill Jesus, bring about the New World Order, and turn our internal organs into a tasty nacho cheese flavored paste, or something, maybe, I’m a little hazy on the details, whatever. The important thing is that only gun lovin’ war mongerin’ Jesus humping rightwing extremists can be patriots. Optimism equals Liberalism equals terrorism, that’s a tip from Homeland Security, kids, write it down. Also, Clint Eastwood obviously hates the Jesus and he’s probably gay, somebody check the bumper of his Prius for a Jebus Fish. (Aside: you ever notice how Karl Rove bears a really striking physical resemblance Major Toht, the creepy Gestapo guy from the first Indiana Jones movie? What? I’m just saying it’s a weird coincidence is all. No, no, never mind, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about). Republican Funnyman Mitt Romney condemned Obama’s bailout of Detroit, but then immediately explained how he, himself, as president no less, wouldn’t have let “automakers be liquidated” – despite personally penning a piece in the November 2008 New York Times entitled (and I quote) “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” (and I unquote). Everybody clear on that? If Obama bails out Detroit, it’s anti-American socialist cheese making with ass-buggery by Clint Eastwood. But if Romney, the guy who made two hundred million dollars by liquidating companies and who specifically said in writing that automakers should go bankrupt but now says he was just kidding, ha ha, if he says he would have bailed out Detroit, well, sir, that’s, um, well, not socialism. I guess it depends on why you bailed out Detroit. Do it to save two million American blue collar jobs, it’s socialism. Do it to make grotesquely rich CEOs and white collar venture capitalists even more grossly richer, it’s double-plus extra special American cheeseburgers with sparkly bald eagles on top shooting red white and blue bottle rockets out of their assholes while the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders sing a Country and Western version of God Bless America. Remember, folks, ObamaCare = OMFG! Nazis! RomneyCare = uh, well, ur, OMFG! Look over there! Clint Eastwood is totally ass raping Jesus! And he hates puppies! And white people! It’s Twue! When it comes to oral gymnastics, Mitt Romney is far more gifted than Linda Lovelace ever was. If politics doesn’t work out for him, he should seriously consider hardcore porn. For Romney, it’s basically the same thing and you don’t have to wear a tie – unless it’s the Horny Governor and the Nympho Intern script. Yesterday, Congressional Conservatives just gave up. John Boehner threw in the towel. Fuck it. Fine. Keep your stupid un-American payroll tax cuts. Fine, just fine. Make Jesus cry. Jerks. Whatever. Stupid voters. Boehner himself was nearly in tears because congressional republicans, after fighting tooth and nail for tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of Americans, were being blamed for wanting to raise Social Security withholdings on the middle class. Boehner felt it was just so monumentally unfair of Democrats to take advantage of the Republicans’ clearly stated position during an election year, because, of course, Boehner himself would never ever do such a thing. No Sir. Nope. Never. The Speaker shouldn’t have worried, like my friend up above there are still plenty of loyal Kool-Aid drinkers. Take Douglas the Yahoo Commenter: Obama doesn't want to help the MIDDLE CLASS , he wants to GIVE MORE to the LEECHES !!! [sic] Apparently we’re now defining leeches as those Americans (and non-Americans) who have jobs and pay taxes. See, what we are in point of fact talking about here, by definition, are payroll tax breaks. Payroll tax breaks. Payroll. Pay. Roll. Payroll tax breaks. The idea is you get less taken out of your paycheck (an amount equal to about one small tank of gas per month if you want to get specific about it). Generally, you have to have a job to get a paycheck in order to have FICA withheld. We’re now calling those people “leeches,” please note the change and use the term appropriately in official communication.
Now That is political commentary we can use. Great and funny as hell
'I now must go to sleep and dream of more  pleasurable things that will come my way assuming I do not do a brain fart and go "OOPS" like Rick Perry!! Its time to go.
