Can't sleep again

I didn't manage to workout... I'm sore... long day... excuse excuse excuse.....

I just watch "in the valley of Ellah" it was worth seeing, it made me wee-pie a little... or I'm in a mood.

I could use a beer.

oh..... I like to vote... I enjoy it... doing my civic duty.... Exercising my citizenship's...

we couldn't get a luckier break than to have it be "obama, Hillary, and McCain"

but obama is an amazing speaker, and if we can get America to listen to him for 5 minutes he could win them over.

Politics

I need to find/verify where I vote today. I commented to someone, if we are looking at a 70's super-cycle recession.... and you pull from that early war/recession playbook, The presidential nominee, that promises to pull out of the war, will win. This nominee, if they don't follow through on that promise, then becomes the 2000 version of Richard Nixon.

For those of you who don't generally follow my overall philosophy..... "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes."

yep

Got my 2 hours of sleep... now I'm back awake. My workout exhausted myself, and I may have gone to bed too early.

And in the land of "how is your digestive tract"? indigestion.... Sounds like I need to change my diet figure out what to eat that isn't spicy...... I lovs me some spicy food.

Well, I just ate some yogurt... seems like it's working.

I also just dumped all my network training stuff. I know I can get it back, but..... feels like a big step.....

for those of you keeping track at home.... I've sort of given up doing network support, for doing this stupid stock market thing... I understand... I just hate network support, and was going to have to make the choice to work for "The Man"... and you don't have the slightest idea how badly me and "The Man" get along.....

He wants me to work my ass off, for little pay, bairly enough to pay bills. No respect, poor work environment. Then he works to nickle and dime me. or other insulting ways to get more money out of me.... When realy, as hard as I work... "the Man" needs to be doing every thing he can to make my life easier, so I can get more done.

there is my rant.

Progress reports

I do this for me.... not that I answer to anyone but myslefe.
  1. I managed an hour on the bike....5 min stretch... 10 minute warmup 30 minutes on the rollers... with prep and rest time... it's like an hour.
  2. 30 min yoga.... One of these days I'll make it through the whole program.... it would help if I took a longer break between the bike then yoga.
  3. only 2 hours of vid game today... probably more before bed... or maybe I'll read.

  • I need to do some organization, my work out clothing is in one hell of a mess.
  • I need to do some work stuff... chart-astrology.
  • I feel much better after clearing that crappy superbowl food out of my system.... I'm not sure if it's steriods in the meat or sugar, or just all the fat... Just makes me feel crappy.

late night Tea insomnia

... I got the joy of hanging out with the family for a little superbowl action. I've decided over that past few years that I don't enjoy the presense of my sister... just one of a long litany of people who's presense I don't enjoy.

Well... Damn... Stocks start trading at 4 or I get up at 4 to start that nonsense. I could use some more sleep.

Civil war.

I umn.......(you know, I blog that allot... Guess you have to understand that .... this blog is stream of thought.... pauses are (......).... and I just go with it).... So.... Oh, I remember...

Gettysburg - July 3, 1863

I'm watching a fairly good documentary about the Civil war... it's the Ken Burns one. I never knew how excited I could be about the civil war. It's a damn fine documentary.

For those of you who don't know, I am quiet a connoisseur of documentaries. I guess it's how I counter to my current lack of ability to dig through a book.... not that I'm not quite well read... it's just tough.

Though the documentary is short long drawn out reenactments, with a narrative. That is your typical documentary, this one is told mostly through pictures from the time.... I always wonder if the pictures have anything to do with the story being told... For all I know they could be showing pictures of Shiloh... When talking about gettysburg.

Bad news

I'm addicted to my nemesis, video games. Roman Total war.

it feeds my desire to be a military general, and global conquest. I umn.... Ussally this ends with me deleting it. I've been looking for a distraction, lately. I should have picked up a guitar, or harmonica.

Basically I spent my weekend playing it... I will track my battle with this addiction on the blog. I keep hoping I'll start reading. my problem with reading is that; first I read on my computer almost all day. Second I've read way to many technical manuals... reading has lost it's charm....

But, I'm going to keep working on it...

maybe I can come up with some other ways to mellow out.
