are you busy.....
I have this thing these days..... Well, I'm not a fan of T.V..... Ok, it's not like I'm not glued to it quite a bit... but mostly movies, PBS, Documentaries. The only exposure to commercials, I usually get is CNBC... and when there is something on History, or history international... or national geographic.....
But I digress... something reminded me of this...
I've run my own business doing network engineering for a long time, I've become kind of burned out and sick of it.... See, Doing that you realize how poorly run most business are. Employees spend most of their lives emailing friends, reading blogs, surfing the Internet... Etc. The busiest time for the Internet is the last hour of the business day on the east coast... that is when the people on the west coast have come back from lunch, and the MountainTime and CEntralTime people are all Actively Fucking off on the Internet. So it's the busiest hour.. has been since Al Gore Created the damn thing.
People go home, grab McDonalds... and sit in front of the TV till they go to bed. Get up and repeat. So.. with that busy schedule one can start to realize how tough it is for people to do things, and to get things done. You realize that people have so many distractions, no wonder they are so incompetent at their jobs.
I Try and be a Very Active person; Long Walks to clear my head, Time working on my Garden. Always working on some project or another. If I watch T.V..... I want it to be Teaching me something...... But I ask people all the time to do things, and resoundingly I get "I'm Very Busy". But honestly They aren't, they are busy losing time to Internets, and T.V. and the relevant commercials... Those commercials convincing them that if only they buy "X" they can be a beautiful 28 year old couple, living in a multi-million house, which strangely receives light fresh Sea breezes at all time.
That is what people are busy doing, Sometimes I like to blame the Republicans for destroying this Country, and it's economy...... But honestly, it's probably more the loss of productivity from Waisted time on the internet, and being brainwashed by TV.
That is my theory about why Paul volker, was a dilligent central banker "looking for the storm Clouds behind Every Silver Lining". And Why our Central Bank is and has Been "Asleep at the switch"..... They are busy. With Sitcoms, and inernets.... and when they are less busy, they have speaches to write... so everyone who likes the sound of their voices can here it. All the speaches the Federal Reserver members do, I can't imagine that it takes any less than a Week to get it Ready....... So long, Thanks for all the fish.

coffee
I found a new coffee place, it's just west(50 yards) of bangerter on 12600 south.... good stop toward ... whatever that canyon is in Hyrum... butterfield...
Little update for the blog, My charming Stock trading is Really fucking stressful, and Very hard. It's "Good Friday" so any Jesus holidays the stock market takes off. I have been wondering why traders and brokers take so much time off..... It's the stress... If you watch those God damn ticks of the market going up and down all fucking day.... It gets to you.... Like a lame ass I refuse to take the time or money to take a vacation.
So, Past couple of weeks Spring Fever has me in it's Nasty little grasp... I don't know if it's good or bad... It just is. It's damn distracting.
Very personal note, this woman I was seeing on and off for the past few months.... finally it's off, sort of ended a few weeks ago, when I stirred up the energy after waking up at 1am and staying up till the god damn late hour of 11pm. Being a very good sport up till that point, and I just lamed out on her.... and I'm not saying I "lamed" out... I'm saying I didn't want to be "out on the town" till midnight.... She didn't really understand.... and I didn't give a shit.... That is my general attitude.... I have very little "give a shit" any more....
I'm getting back on the bike, It's tough. I spent about 2 weeks working into a regular schedule.. then my back started getting sore .... and I took a few days off, and that derailed me... As the pictures show, I pulled off a respectable 35 mile-er. Though I'm slow... and suffering, and the wind sucked.... It was a good ride. 3 hours though... which does include coffee.
Garden is starting up... I'm a little behind, need to get the peas in. Like everything right now, not enough time....
road to Butterfield canyon
See that nice open pit copper mine straight ahead..
Oh... The bike ride today... I didn't have my MP3 player going... Apparently I had it on the charger and it wasn't charging.... So... There I am 3 hours on the road.... With nothing but the Daemons chasing me. Nothing more charming than 3 hours of nothing but those voices in my head to keep me company.... They are so mean, and angry, and bitter. I bet I need to spend more time with them, instead of ignoring them so much.... Isn't it always the same old daemons, at one point ... I just want to tell them to "Give it a Break for hells sake"

I'm trying to learn something about tea today
Apparently White Tea is young Green tea.
Green Tea has more Caffeine than white tea.... but White tea is better for sick people.... some kind of anti viral, bacterial.

Morning person.
I read a book once..... No, not once I read a book.... Hmn.... can't quite sort out the syntax in that.......
Well, I said "There are people who wake up, ready to take on the day. Who every morning get up ready to get things going and start things fresh. Excited for the day to come at them."
I tend to be a morning person, these days. And let me tell you, how that is not it. Sure, I'm sitting here waiting for the temperature to get to a point where I can go start on some projects outside. But I'm probably not excited...
I will tell you one thing, since I've been up for 4 hours already, and spent the first hour Laying in bed.... Hoping to go back to sleep.... I will say... I'm rested. I've made coffee, and had breakfast, read the paper... overall things are good for my morning.
My return to regular cycling has corrected the malady that was my sleep. I now get 8 if not 10 hours.... and no more... climbing the walls exhausted.
I'd like to mention that I still hate morning people. And that I'd rather not be included in their ilk.... On an early morning walk yesterday, I did comment in my head "being a morning person is like being a night person.... It is nice and quite.... it's just quiet when you wake up, and not as you go to bed.
And I deny any idea that I'm Excited to get at it, and to "Take on The Day"

Sleeping in
Yep..... I got to sleep in an extra hour...... Slept till 4:30am... instead of my usuall 2:30-3:30..... It was nice, I think.... Extra bonus I'll probably get to stay up an extra hour tonight.... May even make it to 7:30pm.
I'm starting on the garden.... I probably need to clean and organize the greenhouse... do some staining of the cedar. Some sealing some of the cracks.... Usually I have the seedlings going by now.. .but I have been slacking... I may get some organization and planning going.
Like I've said, my usually ... patterns in my life have been thrown away in the past year... and it is time to start re-intigrating some of them into my life.
I think it's an oatmeal morning.

Another long week
My big exciting evening..... I went to bed at 5 fell asleep at 6..... and was happy to do it.
I seem to be currently obsessed with "Skanky couch"..... No not Julie.... And hell with you for thinking Julie is in any way Skanky........ or a couch
Is this when my writing gets good.... When I ramble aimlessly with asides.......
But I digress. I've been obsessing about coffee; Perfect Cappuccino, Cafe Con Leche.... Fattie Triple Shot Latte.....
I was thinking about having indoor bike racks.... or even bike hooks... Bike pumps and they will sell you a tire..... I had thoughts about having no parking lot... but I'm thinking I need the "Socker Mom... Coffee crowd as customers..... I should do some research on my market.....
oooo how about free trade coffee.
well I think it's time to do some research...

Dear Annon
Oh.... Anonymous blogger...
How I miss Thee...
with your constant drinking "Instantant".... I assume it's instant coffee.... or even instant latte(sure they call it Capuchino... and yet it's all sweet and creamy like a latte).
your daily struggle with running.....
Your disappointment with the amount of books your reading..
and when I go to your blog all I get is this....
.... we all know my love of cyber stalking....... and to be rejected!!!!!!

Winter Cycling
My least favorite thing about cycling at this time... in the 30-40 degree temperatures.... is the laundry..... I end up with half a load every 2 days..... I could wait longer, but it's stinky.... and with so many different possible combinations of Kit... I never know what I'll need...
but the constant laundry loads... gets to me.
but the constant laundry loads... gets to me.
You have new Picture Mail!
This is the lot where my coffee house "Skanky couch" goes. fortunatly it will wait 2 years till I have the money..... when I'm rich.....
This morning
I was actually feeling good..... Which is nice.... obviously it's unlikely to stay that way..... but for a while I felt full of energy, less tired......
it's so strange how that works..... seems counterintuitive, that more exercise would make me feel more exhausted and yet.....
Looking to do something simple ride wise tonight.
all I have to report.....
70 degrees in Zion this weekend..... wish I wasn't so cheep and I'd go

reminder
When I'm feeling good, I need to remember that it could be just because of a tail wind...... then when I have to shift into the little ring to come back...... and I mean the third small ring....
18 more miles.....
total 45 roughly..... need to get the odometer fixed...
yet another batch of laundry to be done......

Punnishment
Well...... I hope to go out and do some punishing miles today...... some nice gradual uphill to make me rue the day I was born.
Nice 38 degrees.. and snow.....
maybe this can wait.

30
That is now the total number of miles in my legs this year....
does it help that I want to vomit......
I guess it's something.

I guess it's something.
my fantacies
I keep having, all these goofy dreams about being rich.... I guess these ideas are ..... I'm just going to ramble here....
Some time ago I mused about my coffee house "Skanky couch" I honesly would look into starting my own coffee house.... I've realized the reason for the skanky couch.... When you invite somone in to have coffe and sit on a couch or soffa at yoru establishment... you want to make them feel comfortable... and having A-uncomfortable chairs made of leather or Pleather... it's a bad idea... Also B- you want people to be at ease... at ease to come in read the paper and just hang..... Now I also want to discourage... those 8 fucking kids who come in spend no money and Troll the place with their Emo Slime......
