circling the drain

TRENDING NOW!!!!TRENDING NOW!!!!

     Well, election day is over...in the few minute that I looked at the recaps, and it really was more like a mamosecond. (no i did not mis spell that...A mamosecond is...the amount of time  a guy can get to look at cleavage before he gets the *i didn't-wear-this-so-you-could-stare-at-my-boobies* LOOK. and believe me that is not a long period of time!) But suffice it to say, my perusal of the election results was unusually brief. I have lots to do! I am the busiest unemployed m-fer, if not on the planet, at least in the zipcode...well, fershure in my house...

     It does not matter if you voted for the BrayingJackassery or the TrumpetingFatassery...or one of the smaller inconsequential parties, which although I agree with in principle, is doing nothing to challenge the status quo...I hope I live to see a third party of consequence. It matters that we have the chance to determine who we want to represent us!!!

although i did see a Bush/Cheney sign in someones yard...

and that really concerns me...

did i somehow fall back in time?

    The smoke has cleared or that is what we would like to think has happened, but until the present is the past, it is all the same. Only time will tell and a bunch of other pithy cliches can truly acertain the events of 11/02/2010...So how come I feel as if  I spent a TooLateNight in a smokey bar? Why do I feel a cloud of impending doom?  

why do I feel as if we are circling the drain?

i have lost faith in the leaders of this country...

but i still have hope..

i.still.have.hope..     

     The votes have been counted the chads have been hung and the new and old prostiticians have the chance to f-up TheSystem that is so broken that Humpty Dumpty has more of chance to be put together by the KingsMen than our PoliticalMachine. Jus" Sayin'...

 so as America circles the drain, we have this to be thankful for...

no more robocalls

no more e-mails from the KingsMen (and women)

no more prostiticians littering the landscape with signs and billboards...

at least for a few months..

no more people asking me if i am going to vote or if i voted....

      Yes, my friends the country is circling the drain. It has been for some time now. But in my limited scope of knowledge of things of historical significance, it seems like the bad times do not last. No, my friends they do not. it could be worse...yes it could...i am remiss in figuring how, at this point but i know it could be worse... 

    There are some things I am sure will happen.

tomorrow the sun will rise.

(if not we will not know cuz we'll all be dead)

the IRS will always get its money and the economy will turn around.

The USA will be back on top. Or near the top.

i.still.have.hope.

       We will survive, but not because we voted for Prostitician #1 or #2. It is because this country is great! In spite of the idococy. In spite of the bickering. In spite of the the fact that in 2000 the election results were tampered with and the clear winner will never REALLY be known. If anything should have destroyed the USA this ElectionDayDebacle should have toasted the US... It did not. and even though I feel there were some ShadyShenanigans, we did not settle the outcome with tanks and guns... We came together and accepted the results.

    Our country will always be divided on issues. Some, if not most, people will always vote on the HotButtonOneIssue...whatever... we may forever circle the drain... I am positive the worst is behind us. cuz if you'er not gettin better you are gettin worse.

   I celebrate today as a new begining. We can circle the drain for a long time. As a guy tht has seen a lot of clogged drains, they are very slow to empty. mebbe we are in better hands now. mebbe the election will show us that there are some people that really care about the situation and not just PoliticalPartisanPartylinePaltitudes...

     We can only hope. I am  a GlassHalfFull type of guy!!!

Cuz it is truly....

still need to clikthru to save the puppies

thanks

Just another day in paradise edited from original

     JADIP. I have heard it said that a positive attitude is the key to happiness. I do not know if that is the case, but it is definitely my key to keep from going insane. Everyone has problems and bad days. Everyone has issues. Everyone faces loss and pain. However, everyone also has good times, and good days. Some of us have more bad than good. And some of us have more good than bad. It is all about how you spin it.
     When someone asks me, “How’s it going” or “What’s up?” or any other greeting I respond with,. “Just another day in paradise.” Usually people smile. They get it. Am I lying? Am I being facetious? Neither, I am just spinning it to make the day more palatable, for them and me.
     Attitude is the proper spin on the issues you are facing. If it is not life or death, you can bet that there is someone that has it worse than you. You don’t have to look very far to find greater pain than the mundane problems impeding your happiness. The world spins, and your outlook should as well. It is all about how you look at it.
     I try not to get too hung up on the details. I try not to stress about the issues or feel sorry for myself. I like to see people smile. I like to hear laughter. Even if it is at my expense. I am a spin doctor of happy thoughts. At least I try to be.
     One day I was doing some plumbing. I had to fix a water leak. I had the parts and pieces sitting on the vanity counter. I had to pee. There was a toilet next to the counter. I urinated into the toilet. I did not flush. I left the seat up. You can see where this is going.
     I some how hit the parts on the counter. They somehow fell in the toilet. Major bummer, They would not flush. They would clog the toilet. That would compound the problem. I would then have a toilet issue AND a water leak.
     Somehow they have to be retrieved. Copper is not magnetic. There is only one solution. Reach in to the pee infused water and pull out the parts. Problem solved. It could be worse. It could be solid waste. It could be someone else’s urine. The day, as impossible as it sounds, went down hill from there. I will not bore you with details. It was Friday however. TGIF.
     When my boss called to ask how the day went of course I said “Just another day in paradise"…And then I told him the toilet water story. He laughed. He laughed hard. It is funny. It is funnier to have it happen to someone else. Stupid stuff is always funnier when it happens to someone else. After all it is just another day in paradise.

damn i am cute

    

i have included some picture of me when i first came to live with daddy...

i am playin

 this week as i enter my first blogpost i want to share with you a little secret...i love being a dog... i like to play. all the time. play play play...and sleep...sleep sleep sleep...then play play play...

     dogs get to do lots of fun stuff... and everyone loves me...everyone...momma says i am so cute that i can get away with anything...even chew up her undies and socks...daddy says i am being bad but i do not really know what he is talking about....play play play...woof woof...

     i went on a ride with daddy the other day or today, cuz i really have no concept of time, five minutes five hours whats the difference...i love going places...i  know the word ride...it makes me all jiggilywiggliy and stuff...and i know the word walk....i get  jiggilywiggliy when i hear that word too.

    i know the words treat and eat..i like both. daddy says i have the ghost of 'cino and 'spresso livin in me but i do not know what he is saying...play play play...(browndog fatwhitegirl) woof woof!

     i love to chase those fuzzy little guys with the big tails and the other ones with the big ears...i like to bark at anything. did you know that i can hear a butterfly fart? i like to bark at that as well.

     i discovered a big pile of crunchy brown things the other day. a big pile of them...i stuck my nose in them and chased them and rolled in them...fun fun fun...i like them...i have seen them around before but never in such a big group...they were crunchitty and taste good...

     daddy got kinda pissed cuz he wanted me to stay still so he could make that clicking noise with that little black box that he always has in his hands and says tucker, look at me. then it clicks...then he says dammit...then he says tucker again...then dammit...this goes on for a while and then i jump around in the brown things...play play play...

    look at the fluffy tail thing! there it is! gotta go! gotta go! gotta go get it!!

6.Brett Favre 7.Courteney Cox 8.Space Shuttle Disocovery 9.Chapter 11  10.BlackBerry Bold

nothing about the election...nothing about mortgages....very odd...

RANT ALERT!!!

      I am so tired of prostitcians in our FederalGovernMonster talking about change and the broken system...seems like it is always the other guy that is the problem. thats why on election day we all need to write in me...or even better write in yourself...
    thank god tomorrow will end the robo-calls!!!i am getting tired of the constant stream of lies. sick.sick.sick. as most of you know i lean a little left (even though my right hip is more f-d up than my left...) but this blog is not pointed either way...

AT VERY least get out and vote!!!!

Prostitician #1 "Unlike the last guy/gal, I WILL make change...I will fight the TAX AND SPEND liberals..I will hold the governent accountable and fight fraud and special interest groups...except the  specail interest groups that paid big bucks to get me in this office, I will help THEIR cause...fraud and waste is what the other guy/gal was good at perpetrating..

RIIIGHT!!! I have heard that some many times that I cannot even start to believe anything you say...

Prostitician #2 "Change is slow but it IS happening..."It will take time to get us on the road to recovery." re-elect me and I will continue to promote change in our broken system."

yup yup yup....whatever...i am tired of the koolaid....

Prostitician #1 "Blah blah blah I am different!"  "A vote for me is a vote for change..." lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie AND did I mention Lie?

whatever...heard that, been lied to before...f you!!!



Prostitician #2 "We must be strong in our resolve to effect real change..."

I am all for change but nothing has changed or will change or can change...

so what does all this PoliticalPontificating really mean? 

I am glad you asked...it means absofinglutely NOTHING!!!

Jus' sayin'...

am i bitter? hells yeah!

am i pissed? hells yeah!

    
     Do I want more of the same rhetoric shoveled down my throat by the same/similar ididots that brought us the current situtation? NO! I want CHANGE!!! Unfotunately the PoliticalMachine that gets these AssClowns in power is a monster of biblical porportions...even Preperation H cannot shrink the swelling and PainIntheAss, that is our FederalGovernMonster...it gets bigger every f-ing day!!
     The wealthy people in power have NO idea what the world is like for a minimum wage earning family, or even low middle class...let alone the poverty class....set down the DOM and Beluga and extract you pie-hole from the special interest teet...

ask your self this...

am i better off than i was two years ago? four years ago? 10 years ago? prolly not, but mebbe you are....if you are, i am truly happy for you....

i know i am NOT! BETTER! OFF!

People are very egocentric...my plan is simple...wait for it...wait for it...

institute REAL CHANGE!!!! SERIOUS CHANGE!

    This election year do the right thing! Vote for the person that has your interest at heart more than anyone else on the entire planet...THE person that will fight for YOUR interests!! The person that will look out for you when no one else will...and so you know, I am not talking about your mother, while she may be great and all, I am talking about YOU!!!

let's shoot for a 200 million way tie!!! THAT would be a REAL CHANGE!!!!

thanks for your vote...and your clicks

Bruce and TuckMonster in 2012



the TuckMonster wants you to know



 a new feature IS coming soon!!!

whatever happens...happens for a reason..

TRENDING NOW!!!TRENDING NOW!!!TRENDING NOW!!!!

1.Kristen Stewart   2.BCS Rankings 3.James Gandolfini 4.Scholarship Apples??? 5.Taylor Swift

 6.Halloween (ya think?)

7.Rihanna  8.Oregon vs. USC

9.Mortgage Rates (again with the mortgage rates!?!?)

10.DC Gunman (very odd)

     Life is full of ramdomess. Lots of unrealted things that point us to one thing. Or so it seems. Or so we want it to be. That idiot that just ran you off the road? That Jackasser, is the same guy that dies in a firey auto accident 5 miles down the road, but happens to have a kidney that is a rare but exact match for a kid dying in southern Florida...mebbe... would that be random? Coincidence? Or for a reason...

     Some days we wonder why this happens to me. Some days we wonder why this happened to someone else...Some days are so good you want to freeze them and pull em out and eat em when the day you are having is craptacular...
     Remember that guy that we all knew that was even a bigger nerd than you were in high school?  you know the one i am talking about...the guy that writes computer code  for FUN...back in the late 70's and early 80's writing computer code or simple programs was UberGeeky. That guy goes on to be Bill Gates or Steve Jobs...
     Ostrasized people sometimes use the pain of foolish taunts to go out and show the world what they missed by not befriending them...or they show the world the recieving end of a gun, like in Littleton, CO.

i really do not understand what could be so bad to push you over the edge like that and thinkg *getting even* by killing your tormentors...seems like a bit of overkill..

    
     Somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind I remember a physics theory or mebbe fact that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. i could be wrong but i doubt it... some of us affectionately refer to this as karma as well... Some of us see events as pieces of the puzzle that is our purpose...
     That bum that you give a dollar? Mebbe he goes on to use that dollar to buy booze, but mebbe he goes and calls a family member and they rescue him from the dispair of the streets..mebbe...Most lilkely he gets a few more dollars from other kind hearted souls (read: suckers like me) and buys a cheap bottle of whiskey and drinks himself to sleep...or death...but you do not know...

    helping someone in need should not be a long thought out thing... 

we can all use some deposits in the karma bank...

     My friend VoHo (voho can you hear me ) has a tragic, but self-induced accicent.  He hits a fire truck that is on the way to a non-emergency, to resue a cat or something non-life threatenting. although if your cat cannot get out of a tree that cat has a big problem.. (there has been some additional clarification since the actual accident)At the same time another first responder is heading that  way as well. Coincidence? If not for the other emergency vehicle, there is no VoHo. there is a funeral...
     He will prolly be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. He will need his house modified. He will need a wheel chair  and a barrior free bathroom... I have been learning about Universal Design and ADA bath rooms  and working on several barrior free projects for the past year. Is this random??? or not...IDK...
     We all want a purpose, even if it is simply the guy that sounds so natural when he lobs the f-bomb that strangers are impressed. and yes this has happened to me. A new aqauanitance at a gathering several months ago told me that I sounded so natural when I lobbed the big f...Like I was meant to do it. well if that ain't a purpose for my life I do not know what is....
     Remember that song by SteffanWolf, Born to be Wild...the original title to the song was actually Born to Lob F-bombs, but the music industry, in it's infinite wisdom,  decided that it would not be as marketable with that title and lyrics, so they went back ot the studio and re-recorded it. and yes it was written about me...TRUE STORY!!! well....mebbe...Okay, but it sure could have been...Jus' Sayin'...
   So now I have to decide what to do with my life. I will prolly go forward in the construction business. but ideally I would like to write. so the blog is my outlet, my hobby, my part-time gig...but it could be huge!!! cuz of Dreamality...I could, thru chance and hard work, reap the benefits of my attempt. I have met a few Great people in my WritersQuest, and I thank these new people in my CyberLife for the compliment, comments and what in my non-cyberworld I consider friendship.

(here ,here and here i hope it is not a CyberRule that i have broken by not asking for permission first but i have always lived thinking how would i feel if...i know i want my blog shared with everyone!!)    

    The world is one click away from having your identity stolen or becoming the next ViralWhatever...the idea of 15 minutes of fame is now condensed to 15 seconds. But the whole deal comes down to the simple fact that everything happens for a reason...there is no coincidence...

or is there?

great day on the clikthru front...best single day ever!

and GR, you are back on top of the

ClikParade...

Albany? you gonna let that fly?

thanks and dog kisses
