And so it begins……again.

After a two-plus year hiatus, I have returned! I have recently realized that I need to get my thoughts out there more often. I think you, dear reader, are interested to hear my take on the world. You may laugh, cry, get angry, ignore, agree, or disagree with what I think or say but in the end, this is a good forum to preach to the masses.

Just some random observations to start off the New Year:

What do you think of the new look of the blog? I decided the old look hurt my eyes too much. I went back and read some of my old posts and had a good laugh. I am just glad WordPress kept them around.

I have absolutely no interest in the political climate right now. The fact that each side and all players are against everything and each other tells me everything is broken. I am not sure about you but I feel really betrayed by Obama. I was shown one thing and given another. In the real world, we call that bait-and-switch and it is illegal. I wonder if I can sue for damages. Now more than ever we need a legitimate third party candidate that will not pander to the far left or right. So far, there are NO candidates I am planning to support. I am sick of watching the slanted entertain-news. I am finding I do not believe anything I read or watch in the media or I listen for the slant in the stories. Far too many of us are brainwashed by FOX, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NYT, and the others. I am constantly made fun of because I do not drink the Kool-Aid of the bile piped out by the entertain-media. Have a laugh; at least I think before I join in the chorus.

In case you didn’t know already, I was assimilated into the iWorld. And I have to admit, I should have upgraded earlier. Bye Bye Blackberry. You suck balls.

I am planning to run a marathon in March 2013. I am setting the goal now. I need to drop at least 25 pounds though. For the first time since early college, I had to go to the next pant size. The last time was when Sperm was born; this time I have no excuse except for lack of activity. Sperm has said he will run it with me. That would be the most awesome-est of awesome if it happens. I will predict I will already be an emotional wreck at the finish line. Come take pictures. Back to the weight issue, I have never been this heavy in my life and it royally sucks. I am constantly miserable. I feel bloated and gross all of the time. Right after Christmas, I had an epiphany and said “that is it.” Now comes the hard part – implementation. I have the gym membership – I have the idea. Now, let’s buckle down. I told the Missus that I need to treat this like I did when I quit smoking. Just jump in and go forward. We’ll see. In the meantime, I need to remove certain things from my diet and get back in the gym. Of course, I will be frowned upon by the regulars who always complain about “newbies” starting in January every year. I need to ramp back up and then I can be the one complains!

The holiday this year was quite nice but as usual, I wish it had been longer. I was not ready to come back to work. When is the next holiday again? But I really am enjoying the commute though. I wish it would last longer too!

If you are a Wells Fargo account holder; congratulations! You now own my former residence! Ain’t foreclosure grand? (Related point: sadly, I guarantee I’ll be getting mortgage offers in the mail within two years.)

Got a topic you want me to address? Send me a comment or an email. I can talk about just about anything.
