TEN THOUGHTS TO PONDER

  • Mood: ill
  • Thought of the day: I haven't called in sick since January
  • weather: best & the last, nice day of 06'


Number 10:
Life is sexually transmitted.

Number 9:
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Number 8
Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

Number 7:
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

Number 6:
Some people are like a Slinky.....not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

Number 5:
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Number 4:
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Number 3:
Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?

Number 2:
In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT TO PONDER IN 2006:


We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of Illegal immigrants and Terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

3 to 10 business days my ass

  • Mood: whatever
  • Thought of the day: monkeys
  • weather: sunny

Ok, I'm stressing. I placed an order over a week ago for two motorcycle jackets, for me and my honey. I made two orders, helmut bags/covers,  and already received one of them.  Now, I've been really wanting a new jacket since I got my bike, so thats all I've been thinking about... I bought them online and I keep checking my order status over and over again. Every time it says "being processed". So I fired off an email to them asking whats up. So now I'm waiting for a response & checking order status at least twice a day. I'm just excited.

Can't wait for spring to get here. I'm glad winter is almost over. Getting ready to be on two wheels again. I plan on using the bike as my main means of trasportation... One thing I have to do is change the fork oil, I blew a fork seal on my bike last fall. Dam f-ing streets around here. I swear the street I live on is one of the roughest around.

(Absolutely Brilliant)
George Carlin's Views on Aging  

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.  

"How old are you?"  "I'm four and a half!"  You're never thirty-six and a half.  You're four and a half, going on five!  That's the key.  

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back.  You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.  

"How old are you?"  "I'm gonna be 16!"  You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life. . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. . YOU BECOME 21.  YESSSS!!!  

But then you turn 30.  Oooohh, what happened there?  Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out.  There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling.  What's wrong?  What's changed?  

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.  Whoa!  Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50

and your dreams are gone.

 

But wait!!!  You MAKE it to 60.  You didn't think you would!  

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN
4:30
; you REACH bedtime.  And it doesn't end there.  Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."  

Then a strange thing happens.  If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again.  "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!  



HOW TO STAY YOUNG

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.  Let the doctors worry about them.  That is why you pay "them "  

2. Keep only cheerful friends.  The grouches pull you down.  

3. Keep learning.  Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.  Never let the brain idle.  "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."  And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.  

4. Enjoy the simple things.  

5. Laugh often, long and loud.  Laugh until you gasp for breath.  

6. The tears happen.  Endure, grieve, and move on.  The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.  Be ALIVE while you are alive.  

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.  Your home is your refuge.  

8. Cherish your health:  If it is good, preserve it.  If it is unstable, improve it.  If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.  

9 Don't take guilt trips.  Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.  

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

 

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

 

And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares?  But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!

Let's get it started

  • Mood: off from work=good
  • Thought of the day: off from work=good
  • weather: raining

Happy new year.

Goodbye to 2005. It was a great year. Got a lot accomplished. Got a motorcycle after not riding anything in 4 years. Still have to pinch myself, hasn't really set in that I actually own a new motorcycle. Growing up, I was always around motorcycles. My father had 3 or 4 in the garage at anytime. He also raced dirt bikes and go carts. I would wash and polish his bikes looking forward to the day I would have my own. He instilled a lot of good riding qualities in me. He's a very safe and good rider. It surprised me how good of a rider he is. This summer a had a few chances to ride with him. He took me to some great, curvey roads he knows in the area. I couldn't keep up with him.

Welcome 2006. New year resolutions? Sure, plenty. #1) Get in shape. 2) Quit or at least cut way back on smoking. (Coincides with #1). 3) Get house in "ready to sell shape". 4) See my daughter more. 5) Love my wife more. 6) Golf more (kinda interfers with #5, lol)  7) Ride more. More, More, more...

  • Mood: whatever

  • weather: so so

Guess I was so bored today that I ended up wandering into here... Boy, this blog sucks. I haven't looked at it in a long time. Actually took me a while figuring out how to make an entry. I’m such a tard sometimes. Blog, blog, blog…what to write, what to say? Here I have a chance to voice my views, thoughts, opinions, and life experiences, ominously, and I can’t think of a dam thing. Drawing blanks. My own little corner on the net and I waste it. Whatever. I read other blogs, some entertaining and some scary, and I think,” Hey, that’s kind of neat, I should say or do something like that in my blog”. Whatever. Maybe by 2007 I’ll have a dozen posts, right? Not that I have anyone that reads this.

I must have ADD.  I can’t concentrate on the task at hand. I think too much. So much that I can’t keep my train of thought long enough to type it. It is amazing I have gotten this far…When are they going to come out with a program that writes your thoughts as you think them? Better not hold my breath for that one.

I never seem to have the time for this… I never seem to have time for a lot of things I would like to do. I’m on this kick now where I want to read more, so I bought a book. I like reading, and this book is a good read, so far, but I never find the time. I’m about half way through it and I would love to sit down and finish it. But something always gets in the way. Whatever.

Motorcycle diaries

And we're BACK...

Ok, finally got a new(er) bike. Just over a week now. I've only  put on about 150 miles, so far...

It's a 96' Kawasaki ZX-11. That's a 1,052 cc engine, DOHC, 16-valve, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled. Stock and brand new, 135 hp= 10.25 @ 135.7- 1/4 mile and top speed about 175. It's got 19,000 miles on it, so it's not that new anymore. I think it has the original chain on it and it needs to be replaced. The only non-stock parts are the seat (corbin), 4 into 1 pipes (Vance & Hines), and a tank bra & windscreen.

The previous bike I had was a 90' ZX-10. Very similar to the ZX-11 in size and weight. It also had a Vance & Hines pipe but was much louder.

Dodgeball

  • Mood: BLA
  • Thought of the day: beer before liquor makes you sicker
  • weather: hot & sunny

Dodgeball
From the Email IN-BOX: Andrew Jennison Alexandria, VA - “No wonder these less than human pieces of shit want to kill us, we are raising a generation of weaklings. My wife is a teacher at a public school in Northern Virginia that wont allow the kids to play dodge-ball! F*&%$ing dodge ball, and guess the reason why! Because it makes kids aggressive! Holy shit! Call social services, we have an a aggressive child who is interested in winning at athletic events and not Play Station! But I digress. About the terrorist having to stand up for 4 hours with underwear on their head! Boo Woo! That was easier than my freaking Hell Week for my fraternity! And I was not trying to kill Americans, just drink beer and trying to get laid. Keep up the good work in your diatribes against the bastards who are destroying the nation from the inside.”

One of my finds while surfin. If it's one thing I can't stand it's all the "Politicaly Correct" bullshit.
