Political Incorrectness In Mississippi? Posted: Sunday, August 29, 2010 9 Hours 6 Minutes 22 Seconds Post Meridian There are no comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave comments I went to Mississippi to handle some family issues with my wife and ended up going to church. I was tripped out by some of the stuff I saw today. I saw signs saying "No Fighting", "No Cussing" and other things of that ilk. I found it kind of odd that you would have to post a sign with such a thing on it inside a church. I'll skip the other stuff like the visible tramp-stamps. Then church got started in earnest. Today's sermon was really messed up if you are a Democrat of any kind. The preacher talked about how the man is the head of household, no matter how much he makes or doesn't make. He called women "helpmates" pointed out where this stuff is written in the bible and how the bible is not going to change. (I suppose the Romans changing it from the Old to the New testament was good enough) I was amazed at the force by which he told this sermon and the risk of pissing a bunch of people off by telling the truth. Hopefully someone will take heed and fix his family. Hanging out with my in-laws is always a culinary (and artery-clogging) treat. Within 20 minutes of my arrival, steak was on its way to me courtesy of my mother in law. Its nice to be around a bunch of people with lives void of drama, outside the stuff everyone has to deal with if you are married with children. You know what, like my father, my father in-law is the head of his household, an imperfect but good example of manhood to his children and an influential patriarch. I suppose the preacher was on to something, wasn't he? There are no comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave commentsYou want $7000? For that? Posted: Monday, July 12, 2010 9 Hours 53 Minutes 37 Seconds Ante Meridian There are no comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave comments These days I have taken on a third client. Something has got to give or maybe not. In this recession it may be kind of stupid to have only one source of income. I am putting a brave face on it but managing the whole thing is stressing me out, and when I am not working I am about to fall out. Yep, I expect this to take a toll on my marriage, but in this economy you cant afford to pass up opportunities, especially when one like this comes along. This project will allow me to get completely out of debt in a couple of years if I play it right. Yeah, that kind of dough. Even more pleasant news, one of my SUV’s dropped a cylinder with 90,000 miles. With the reliability of engines these days, regardless of manufacturer it costs a fortune to get any kind of mechanical work on an engine done. So I called the dealer they wanted $7,000 for a long block. I am looking on their website while waiting on the agent to get back to me and found a truck comparable to mine for around the same price. I mentioned this fact and the customer service agent was not amused. So, off to the junkyard to do an engine swap. I’ll end up with an engine with fewer miles than the one they took out for a fraction of the cost. Works for me. There are no comments for this entry.

Click this link to read and leave comments Fathers Day 2010 I spent doing... Nothing. My wife took me to brunch, and the rest of the day I spent dozing, catching up on the Science Channel and taking calls and text messages from kids, family and friends. That evening I looked at Facebook. I shook my head and snickered. I saw at least a dozen entries from pissed off women, talking about men who are not around for their children. From the tone of some of those entries, they seemed to be more pissed those men left them behind than their children. Even more amusing were the self congratulatory postings: "Happy Fathers Day To Me" and so forth. I never read such foolishness. I wonder if they thought for a second how silly some of them sound. Well, heres the real deal that applies to most of you.
You see, if you bash him like that, you make yourself look stupid for having child after child with men who are obviously worthless. Who's being irresponsible here? Who *else* is making bad choices? Its not just the men now is it? Some of those great guys may have had good reason to run for the hills rather than be connected to you. Some of you if your honest with yourself, drove them away. Next year, before you get mad, ask yourself why are they gone? Your son or daughter will ask you that question someday. Try to be honest ok? Forget it. What the hell am I? Just a man.

Posted: Thursday, June 10, 2010 11 Hours 15 Minutes 9 Seconds Ante Meridian There are no comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave comments Let me do some religious ramblings. I am going to do a more complete essay on this later but for now, these random thoughts will have to suffce. If we follow popular religious doctrine and dogma, you cant question the bible or anything in it and to question the existence of God or the nature of God's existence. Do so, and you are generally going straight to hell. Well, I have been doing it for years. Forget about that for a second. For whatever reasons or motivations I have, I have on many occasions done the Lords work though giving to those I don't have to give to and helping people I am not obligated to help. And because I am the way I am, I'll continue to do that whenever I can. Granted I make mistakes and I am abrasive (waaaay too abrasive) however, generally I consider myself a force for good. On the surface, it looks like I'm getting the keys to roll upstairs right? No. All I did was question, in the face of modern science, the nature of God's existence (I never said that God did not exist) and because of this I am going to burn in hell. Almost paradoxically, by damning me to hell they are now stating that God is without understanding and without infinite wisdom to judge me by my deeds and adherence to teachings in the bible. Now would that be God's judgment or mans judgment? I'm going to go with the latter on that one. So I am going it alone. If after all the good I have done, I get cast into the lake of fire when I die, I have three words to say as I go to hell to serve my new master, Satan. "Thanks for nothing." I'm a sucker.

Posted: Wednesday, June 02, 2010 3 Hours 33 Minutes 25 Seconds Post Meridian There are no comments for this entry. Click this link to read and leave comments I finally got to Wine Country, and to sleep. I slept in every day.
What's interesting is that at every vineyard we visited we ran into people we knew - either other Winos or some of the crazy old coots who run the vineyards themselves. In either case its great to be in such good albeit eccentric company. R We also took a boat tour down the Colorado River. That was worth every penny. Beautiful canyon walls, jaw-dropping vistas and one of those "God Poster" sunsets were a sight to behold. There are no comments for this entry.

Click this link to read and leave comments I lead an active life. It seems like every day there is something going on. Either there is a baseball game we have to go to because we have season tickets (and buffet/drink tickets at that), some other sporting event we got invited to because of said season tickets we have or, we are travelling somewhere - Wine Country, something going on with the kids, last week we were in Las Vegas collecting hooker cards and attending a wedding, what have you. Its crazy. If thats not going on, we are walking 10 miles around that freaking lake. Yesterday was the first time in weeks, I spent Sunday either asleep or zoned out in front of Science Channel DVR theater catching up on my science shows. It was bliss. Even this weekend we are heading back to wine country. There is a wine festival, we are going to visit our friends there (who own the vineyards and their lackeys). Its funny, everyone recognizes us - or rather, they recognizes my wife's rack to be more accurate. That cracks me up. I just want one day where I can lay down and sleep. I don't ask for much. Guess what? I am not going to get it either. There are no comments for this entry.

Click this link to read and leave comments Last night Obi-Wife and I went to a wine tasting event. I have to admit, it wasn't a bad deal. 25 bucks a person gets you four glasses of premium wines and all you can scarf hors d'oeuvres which included quesadillas with duck meat. I kind of thought that was a little over the top. Anyway there were two tables with about a dozen chicks there and they were smashed by the fourth glass. That cracked me the hell up. While they were not doing the fool by any means, they were visibly drunk.. Obi-Wife was tipsy by glass number two. Anyway I reckon we'll keep doing it. Laughing at the drunk-chicks and getting lucky afterward is worth the fifty bucks. And its a good time. There are no comments for this entry.

Click this link to read and leave comments This is a message to all the single ladies out there. I get tired of saying it. Last week Critical Condition had a guy she knew from high school hit her up on Facebook, everything was going great until she found out that she was not the only woman on the planet he knew. Let me break it down for you real quick.
Now I fully realize that I am not worth anything, I don't know what I am talking about and I aint about shit etc. I also realize that I am no better - No, I did not let everyone else go until I was sure I found a good woman to be with and marry. Yes she found out. Instead of being stupid and ran she dealt with it and won. She is married. Are you? I also realize I aint about shit, I dont know nothing about you and I am stupid. That may be true and, I'll agree if it helps you deal with what you just read. I am also happily married. Something your not, and with that attitude and some of the unrealistic expectations you have, will never be. Get mad if you want. Everything I said is true. Period.

Click this link to read and leave comments Well, its time to go to Wine Country again. This time I hope to get a chance to relax and sleep in a little bit. Our last forray into wine country found us buying another case of wine and visiting some very interesting and nice people. Man, I am really getting old. I do love hill country. There are plenty of ways to do nothing, and jaw-dropping landscapes. Not to mention comfort food my wife would never imagine fixing. Every restaurant in Texas serves chicken fried steak, and everything else is close to it. I have to admit though it is nice that we share this common interest. Going to sporting events is also nice too as we all contemplate getting rid of Dirk Nowitzki and how great life would be if we had a foreword who would actually drive to the hoop.

Over Memorial Day weekend we went back to wine country and took in some more great (hot) weather great wine. 
olling through the food and wine festival we ran into more people we knew and met some new friends we'll no doubt see again.
