WTF

So I go to the doctor and the doctor said, no more monkey jumping on the bed.  Okay he didn't say that, but the other doctor who he is married to did say Go Tigers.  She is Auburn alumni.  We don't like her for that.

Right after the chit chat, I asked what the difference between MD and DO is and as far as i can tell, it is spelling.

Right after that they said, i gots the gout.  WTF is that?

I am not sure what causes it, but i do know it hurts like no body's business should hurt.

Completely unrealated, I've watch a handful of movies the last week or so.
  • An Education - This movie was okay, actually, it kinda sucked, It is about crappy people tricking people and is just crappy.
  • The Black Balloon - I sorta like this one, it is about people, real people dealing with real problems.  I liked the main flawed character.  Not that it is even the same kind of movie, but I watched "Up in the Air" a while back and thought, I do not like these people, who cares what happens to them.  This movie, I liked, because I did like main character.
  • Diary of a Whimpy Kid Granted I am not the target audiance, but I didn't like this movie for the same reason I didn't like Up in the Air.  Not only was/is a whimpy kid, but he made me want to punch him in the face.   Not that I would punch a kid in the face, or anyone for that matter, but I would like to think if i did, it would be someone like this kid.
In review, of the three movies i watched the one one that I would even casually recommend is the one, I had never heard of.  I mean it is likely I had heard of it since I put it in my netflix rental queue, but nevermind that.

things that i think suck

This is my list of things that suck for today, which is not really a day as it is 3:25am, but nevermind that.
  • It sucks when your wife and daughter have to go on a trip for 2 weeks, i miss them and the i can't really watch the real housewives of anywhere if they're not here, they provide the perfect cover for my guilty, trashy womanly fun tv watching. 
  • Second, political ads.  I think i would vote for someone who just came out and said, I know the other guy running is a good guy, we disagree, but i don't think he wanted to give viagara to sex offenders or something like that.
  • gout - i had a bout of gout once, a long time ago, and i think i have another, i was on webmd, mostly cause it is the middle of the night and my ankle hurts so bad i can't even consider sleeping.
  • i do not have gout, what ever is wrong with my ankle sucks.  i literally hurts to have a sock on, or anything touching it.
  • bubble baths suck.  i thought i would try one, since i've been up since 11.  This is my review, right about the time i was getting comfortable, the bath cooled off and i had to get out all cold, which induced shivers.  shivering while whincing makes me, both a sissy, and whinny.
It has been a while since i posted, i now work for the federal government, and thought i should avoid posting my political thoughts, and given the season everytime i came here it turned that way, bear with me as i adjust to being the man.

stupid people

This post is my response to the news and is basically calling everyone in the world, who is not me, or who disagrees with me stupid, but never mind that.

  • First group of people I would like to call stupid.  Are the people who want to build a mosque near ground zero.  While building the community center they're doing so under the guise of community out reach this is just stupid.
  • The people who are protesting the people building a mosque near ground zero.  Part of being free is the freedom to be stupid.  It might be a bad decision to build a mosque there, but if they bought the land shouldn't they be allowed to do with their land anything I can do with mine.  Side note, I don't have any, but if i did, i could put a church on it.  Also Manhattan is an island, the community center isn't actually at ground zero, but a couple blocks away.  If you grant that people have the right to build places of worship, how close is too close?  Are they allowed to build on the south end of the island?  How far is far enough from ground zero to be okay?
  • Burning the Koran church.  I am not arguing that they don't have the right to do so, but again, part of being free is the freedom to be stupid.   What are they hoping to accomplish by burning the books?  Secondly when has the side that is burning books ever been the right side?  How Christian is to take an action intended offend and hurt people, possibly inciting riots that will result in people getting killed?  
  • People who riot because someone offends them.  Here is my tip for you, by you i mean everyone.  Relax.  No matter what group you belong too, or how strongly you believe something most of the world disagrees with you. If you're going to riot and kill people, it is likely going to being only pain and suffering to your community.  (ie the folks that rioted over the dutch cartoonist drawing Mohamed, it was Muslims that died.)
  • 2 years ago the DEMS won everything, or nearly everything, now they are set to lose everything.  Do people just vote for who ever in not in office. If you are looking for the government to solve your problems, well that is just plain stupid.  If you voted for Dems or the GOP 2 or 4 years ago. Why switch, unless you really dislike a particular candidate.  I mean if you voted for Harry Reid, and no think he is slimy that makes sense.  If you voted for Obama, and don't like what he has done, are you just not paying attention, what has he done or not done that he said he would do?  Dude can not make laws, he can only suggest them and help craft them in committee, that is all he can do.
  • Anyone who is still reading this, dont' you have something better to be doing, like playing with your dog? 
  • , you should go get one.
I was driving into work this morning, and the talk radio was all abuzz with chit chat from the crazy people that call talk shows, getting all riled up about the mosque and the Koran.  Here is my take on it, if you think the people should be allowed to burn the Koran, then it would make sense that you should think that people should be able to build a Mosque.  Either you support freedom or you don't, you can't support freedom only for folks that agree with you.

In case you're wondering what i think, I don't think either group should do what they're planning to do, but I don't think third parties should be allowed to stop them either.  I also don't think building a community center is equivalent to burning a holy book.  One is an action that is misplaced; one is an action that has no place.
