I almost feel like I am walking around in a dream and any minute I am going to wake up and it is all going to be different. It is as though a haze has covered me, and I am suffocating. When did I lose touch with the average American? I'm gutted--that's the word, the only word, to describe how I am feeling today. Wandering around lost,
well said, and much needed. thanks!
I left my comment on your other blog--this duality is starting to confuse me!
Texas: You took the words right out of my mouth--only yours always sound better. Here's hoping the next four years are better than the last four. And if it's of any value, know that you, Adrian and your boys are in my thoughts.
Dharma: There was a study done several years ago that I found very interesting--apparently, ADD and ADHD are "modern day" disorders. This doesn't mean that they didn't exist before, but that they were not considered disruptive in the past. People with ADD and ADHD are often better "crisis responders." These were the people, in the Middle Ages, who would guard the palace late at night because the
If they're congressmen, then it's either 2 more or 6 more. Definitely not 4. Not true--Senators are re-elected in cycles, with 1/3 of the Senate coming up for relection every 2 years. So, in 4 years, 33 Senators will be up for re-election.
Agreed Trina. I missed it the first time, Mig. Thanks for sharing this. It must have been very difficult to write. “he’s afraid of the dark. what kind of horrible thing must have given him the courage to do that ?”. that sentence is just haunting.
I am sure that my blog has had many of these mistakes, because when I re-read them I find them. The thing is, I don't often have time to re-read and edit my blogs. My typing and thinking aren't synchronized, and sometimes simple mistakes spill out on the computer screen. I guess what I am saying is, just because the mistake has been made, doesn't mean that the blogger isn't aware of the proper use of the word. I tend to write a lot for wor
With a name like Floozie, I doubt anybody has ever mistaken me for a man! Shades - I don't know why, but something about your writing makes me think that you're a guy - a very cool one at that - but a guy all the same. I have to keep reminding myself that you're actually one of those rare and incredibly cool chicks who are
I completely forgot about this blog in due to my baseball obsession. Ravenblack: Precisely, I have all these thoughts, but have done little with them. island_gurl12: Sorry, didn't mean to depress you. My other favorite lyric is Robbie Williams "I didn't lose my mind, it was mine to give away!" OG: Sorry to bore you with Baseball. It literally ruled my life for two weeks. I think part of my problem is the fact that I l
Honestly, I can't wait for the election to be over. Once that happens we will no longer have "Kerry is ugly" blogs and "Bush likes women's perfume" blogs....It will be refreshing to see other stuff around here!
Nice catch Trina--I was rushing as I wrote it, trying to head out to the pub without getting caught! Oops! Of course, you are right, they are all just coincidences, and I think if I tried hard enough, I could come up with bad things that happened every day of the year! Thanks for the comment--its good to see you around. I know I've been slacking on JU lately, but I haven't seen you as much lately either. Hope all is well and that E
My birthday is quickly approaching and, as happens every year, I am fending off all the questions regarding how I would like to celebrate the big day. The other night I was chatting to an acquaintance whose birthday is a few days before mine, though he's a year older. He questioned whether or not it was still considered graceful to "celebrate" your birthday after yo
I've become more of a lurker than a poster, but I'm here nonetheless.
Ok, this is the first time I'm happy that something got spammed, cause I totally missed this the first time (however, I still think the spammer should go to hell!). Yes, I have had the misfortune, more than once, to be mistaken as a guy. I'm beginning to take it as a backhanded compliment--like the guy who told me it was a good thing I'm pretty cause I wasn't going to get by on my brains... people amuse me! <img src="../images/smiles/smile.g
NM and RI tied. Being a RI'er, I nearly died when I read that and had to go check it out--NM and NH are predicted as ties. RI is as blue as it can go! I'm interested in seeing how close the Political Machine is, Brad. When it was announced in the papers a few weeks (months? I don't remember)
1/ Where are your ancestors from ? Ireland. My grandmother's father was from Germany, but he abandon the family and drove her mother into a deep depression from which she only escaped by committing suicide. He has since been erased from the family tree. All the rest are Irish. 2/ What have you lost lately ? All sense of responsibility and perspective...and I blame the Boston Red Sox. Also a glass ring I bought in
D'you know that this was the first WS I've shown any interest in? Now I think I'm hooked.... I've been hooked for years--it's an illness! I want to skip the time off and have pitchers and catchers report tomorrow! I honestly can't believe it--it's been so long coming! I'm glad things in Be
Posting a pre-game blog has become a bit of a supersition for me, so I am fearful to break it now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, wearing my lucky shirt, sitting on my lucky futon and praying that the Sox pull this off! If you are a diehard BoSox fan, check out the link--it's a classic example of why Red Sox Nation believes that this IS NOT JU
I have a hard time thinking of myself as an adult. Technically, I'm am the right age to be classified as such, but it doesn't seem fitting in the least. But lately, I've been noticing people younger than me doing all sorts of adult like things. Nothing makes you feel older than people younger than you having life more "together" than you do. I recently l
Were was the warning label??? This is going to be bad...very bad...
So I am just wrapping up here at work and getting ready to head home to another Red Sox post-season game. I'm a little nervous about Ortiz playing first (since there's no DH in the National league), but I suppose after the poor fielding of Bellhorn and Mueller, I should probably focus my concern on them. Also, I don't appear to be as confident in Pedro's s
Tex, that had me giggling. When I was younger, the "little yellow birdie" was always snitching on us. One day my brother and I were conspiring to do something. He was about 5 and I was 3. I looked up, saw a yellow bird, and turned to my brother and said, "shh, there's that damn yellow bird." That had my mother in fits of laughter...
Well...the Cardinals could have won Saturday. That would have made my weekend a bit better... But that would have put a big damper on mine! (I'm sure you've read how obsessed I am with the Red Sox!)
It was heaven--I didn't want to leave my bed all weekend! What could be better than a nice comfy bed and some baseball on the television!
