1. So sad and tragic. Another story of a parent leaving their child in a hot car, where the child dies from the heat. In this case both parents lost track of where their child was before it was too late. I'm just not understanding this type of thing. I don't think I ever will.

3. A construction site near where I work has the usual guys standing around most of the day. They make cat calls to the women that drive by or walk by. Every time, the woman in the cross hairs seem like they are uncomfortable by all of it...even the tramps who want the attention. I can understand the gaulking and leering (years of personal experience myself)by these men, but to actually say something? I mean what are the chances that a woman is going to actually respond favorably to "Hey baby, you got fries with that shake?" I wonder if ever has this type of thing worked at all. And seriously what is gained by it other than some machismo convo? You think the woman doesnt know she's hot and you have to remind her?

2. I've seen these far too often around yards. They are those colored decorative globes. Does someone actually think these look good? Because I think they are tacky and hideous. Right up there with have a goose on your porch or the wood cut out of the lady bending over in the garden. People, these are not good or pretty. Get rid of them now! The real kicker was, I saw a house that had 3 globes. All 3 were bowling balls! Are you kidding me? Not only tacky, but totally trashy. With the ever popular bowling season right around the corner, maybe they can add one more to their collection?

4. When I have people over, one of the tvs is usually on if there is a sporting event. Why? Because it's a good conversation piece, and ALL of the guys want to see it. It's expected: Dino's house = sports. Is that so wrong? A few girls I know say that I should turn off the sports and have everyone just talk. What? Talk about what? What is this Oprah or The View? If there is something to talk about people will talk...but to force conversation just blows. Usually this type of anti-sports conjecture is based on women who don't like sports and have been routinely ignored/scorned because of it. Geezus.

5. If you are dating someone for let's say 6 months. At what point, should you breakup, is it a good time to start dating again? A few weeks? A month? What about after a year? Should you date quickly after a divorce or wait a certain amount of time? Isnt the next person you date the rebound person anyways, and do they even stand a chance with you? Is there really a rule for this? Is there some sort of mourning time or mind clearing time that has to occur? Enquiring minds want to know.

Ford Clueless

FORD Motor Company is clueless. They plan to bring over a bunch of smaller European models and retool their SUV and truck plants to make smaller cars. They think this is what will stop their losses, which were around 8 billion dollars. Do you know how much time and money it takes to retool a plant? Surely they may go bankrupt with this risky move.

What they don't get is, Americans don't really want smaller cars. They love SUVS, Trucks, and Minivans. Living in the Detroit metro area I can assure you that small cares are horrible here. I've had a few..and while you may save on gas with freeway driving you are screwed otherwise. The roads are horrible and they beat little cars to death. Michigan has some of the worst roads in the country and a little car will not hold up as well.

Anyways...Ford needs to not retool these plants and waste more money, because we've seen this before and the Japanese still beat them. It's simple..build a better car, and stop wasting time with changing lights and grills between Ford and Mercury. No one cares!

Here is an idea, build a much better car. Build a bigger car with alternative energy instead of chasing the rabbit down the hole. Give me my SUV because I need and want the space, but make it worth my time and money. All those concept vehicles they parade at the Auto Shows that everyone loves?....why not produce those? How silly of me.

The engineers and management just don't get it. They haven't in 50 years.

Making Headlines

It's not often you make the front page of one the most popular papers in the country. But it happened to me. Yeah that's me and Kwame on the same page!

Truth: Beaten

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. My friend Jason caught a 32 inch pike. Beating my record of 28 inches. I'm deeply saddened in defeat.

1. The Detroit Metropolitan area is a rare place when it comes to buying automobiles. Most people know someone that worked or works for the big 3(Chrysler, Ford, GM). With that of course, they get some kind of discount when purchasing or leasing a car. It's something that happens in other parts of the country but isn't as prevalent as it is in the Motor City. It's an issue because what they should do is scratch the discounts and pass the savings on to everyone, that way their sales would potentially increase. Again the big 3 is just clueless. As their sales numbers and stock value continue to plummet, so will their power and market share.

2. The major league baseball all star game last week is the only all star game worth watching. Baseball is not a game where you can fake it or play lightly. It's the only sport of the big 4 where the all stars actually try. I don't think the World Series home berth is that big of a deal, but it sure seems like it. I don't waste my time watching the other all star games where defense is non-existent.

4. The latest weird rage is prisoner's blogging. Yeah that's right, they call or mail their friends, family, or sympathetic fans who write their thoughts on the Internet. Now does anyone really care outside of psychologists what these people actually think? I want to know who is reading these things and giving these guys a chance at freedom?

3. Which would I look best in? The new Ford transit or the Vespa Ape? I need to save on fuel costs you know.














5. Lately I've heard the phrase "deserves to be happy". What exactly does that mean? Who deserves to be happy and why? And why wouldn't someone deserve to be happy? It's a big baffling how the word HAPPY is used so freely. All to often you hear people saying " I just want to be happy ", or " he isn't happy". What the heck does that mean? If you are happy and you know it, do you clap your hands? Someone tell me!

10,000 more troops!

Your future president Obamalamadingdong is calling for 10,000 more troops in Afghanistan.

What about change? What about peace? Oh I forget...they are just buzzwords to coddle the sheep.

The Who

The Who is coming in concert and I think I have to see them. I've seen many concerts in my day and by far The Who was the loudest show ever. I saw them back in 1987 at the Silverdome in Pontiac. Certain bands are just arena bands, and The Who fit that bill. I prefer smaller venues, because the ambiance is much better of course, but The WHO rock and they are a must see. Much like the Stones.

Daltrey is one of those rockers that has really shown his age though. His voice is nowhere near the same as it once was. Many of the rock dinosaurs get better, like Robert Plant for example. But Daltry is just old. Without John Entwhistle on bass, I am not sure what to expect if I do go.

I don't think there is a WHO song that I really don't like come to think of it. They deserve higher honors in my music ladder that's for sure. I can't explain, I think it's love.

Oh Jesse!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.Jesse Jackson...some one tell me why this guy is still around? He uses the N word which I thought was laid to rest a couple of years ago. Didnt they have a funeral for that word? Every year this guy rears his ugly head in some controversy...always looking for an opportunity for the spotlight.

The Reverend is an old school democrat, which as we can tell the world has no use for. I'm not talking the JFK democrat, I am talking the Clintonista - Teddy Kennedy - Barbara Boxer type democrat. 80's and 90's liberals who are severely out of touch.

At least the new dems are shunning these morons from their limelight. Thus the constant turmoil from the old schoolers who are being pushed aside in the name of CHANGE.

1. Lately I've seen an increase of bumper stickers on cars that allude to the fact you may not have a job if you have a Foreign car. That sounds patriotic, but is there really such a thing as an American car anymore? Most cars if not all have a majority of their cars full of foreign parts. Real Americans buy what they want. The funny thing was I saw this on a Vibe, which essentially is a Toyota.

2. Some friends of mine went to Jobbie Nooner. This is the Michigan version of spring break; equivalent to Daytona, Lake Havasu, or South Padre Island. About 4000 boats show up on a sand bar in Lake St. Clair and it's just a giant party. A few said they wouldnt go back for sanitary reasons, other said it's a must if you like topless women.

3. I've been asked to define what I think about the 2 major parties in the U.S. and what their differences are. Well in design they are supposed to be different. But in reality there isnt much difference anymore. The spirit may lie still that the dems are for the working man, and the repubs are for the rich man. Nothing could be further from the truth. Bot keep the man down by taxing you to death or spending us into oblivion. There are different levels of each party of course, with Paleo-conservatives the only wing of the Republican party I can support. They are hands off. Where Republicans and Democrats today for the most part (the party, not the people) are for bigger government controlling your life.

4. My local town had it's annual art fair. I've gone to this probably about 10 times over the years. It seems to get better and better. Yet in all the years I've gone, I've yet to purchase one single item. I can never justify it. I have though been inspiried by the artisans and their crafts. It's given me good ideas for my home. So in the regard, I love to go to get inspired. Getting drenched from the rain was a bonus. I'm afterall a hot head who needs to cool off.

5. ESPN is having a contest by going to many cities across the United States to see which city should be known as TITLETOWN. The city that best loves their sports and has winning tradition and championships. It has to be Boston, Chicago, and Detroit as the finalists. Take the Yankees away from The Big Apple and they are just above average. To me it's Boston or Detroit. You can't go wrong with Detroit except they have no football team.

[This blog is brought to you by alfalfa sprouts and the number 1]

6. Getting back to the art fair...the annoying fact of people who walk and stop in the middle of the street. You then have nowhere to go. Or worse those who push strollers into the back of your legs. Keep your kids at home, they don't want to be there and no one wants to see your rugrat in the stroller. It's hot and crowded please get out of my way.

7. Flipping through the channels the other night I saw the Miss Universe pagaent on. Is there really a point to being crowned Miss Universe? Or even Miss America. When they announced the runner up they said she would handle the duties of Miss Universe if she were unable to perform her duties. Now aside from charity photo shoots, what exactly does a beauty pagaent winner actually do?

9. Major League Baseball has the Home Run Derby. I found no value in this event. I find it boring and useless. I watch it, but I still wonder what's the point? Then again it fills up the stadium for another night, so I guess I've answered my own question. I guess chicks do dig the long ball.

8. I know this guy at work who's a dog. I didn't know he was a dog, but now I do. A new woman was recently hired and he pounced in on her like a cat on a ball of yarn. He took her out to dinner, got her phone number, got her email address. He's trying to bust a move. Well the kicker is, he's married. Of course the woman knows this, but isnt pushing him away. She probably likes the attention, or maybe even likes him, or maybe just doesnt care. Why do people cheat?



10. A woman meets a man, falls in love with him. Their chemistry is great and she realizes he is the one. However she has a boyfriend already. She knows she has to end with him because it is pointless. Yet she is afraid to hurt him. Yet if she stays with him, it will be lie. Is she doing the right thing to not hurt him, yet inevitably she will be hurting him because she really doesnt want to be there. So what is worse, hurting him by ending it or hurting him by living a lie?

Ron Paul Speech at the Revolution March

The media didnt mention that 15,000 to 20,000 people marched in Washington D.C. on saturday . Of course they'll show 100 people rallying at an Obama diner, but not mention the Revolution. Afterall we are just spammers.

The message is alive and well. It's not about Ron Paul, never has been. It's about the message. Here are 3 videos from his speech.

Simplifying Your Life

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. All to often people take the wrong approach when it comes to technology. Especially with Internet based applications. I have found that these 3 simple applications have greatly helped me to organize and simplify all the tasks I need to accomplish everyday. It's all at my fingertips.

1. GMAIL - How anyone cannot use GMAIL is beyond me. I invite people all of the time and they still are using aol mail or their local ISP mail. Are you kidding me? GMAIL is great. You can pop multiple accounts and reply from those accounts in one interface. You can access it anywhere. It has a spam filter, great labeling, and built in chat(gtalk). Not to mention your google news reader, picassa photos, documentation sharing, and a host of other cool Google applications all from one spot. This blog is hooked up to my google account as well. The best application is the calender which you can share with others, and you can send reminders to your phone and email. You cant really beat that? I use most of google applications via my phone, so I am not tied to a pc all day. But I'm still connected at all times, which is what I want without having to sit at as desk. Google makes it simple..you should too. If you want a gmail invite, just let me know. Yeah it's free.

2. JOTT - check out jott.com, and you'll be pleased. You can call a JOTT phone number with a message and it will text or email the message to you. Yes it translates the message. You can also call the number and it will send to other email accounts or phone translating messages. I know all to often I'm in the car, and I need to record a memo. I usually email myself, but that's a little cumbersome, so I just call the JOTT number and it send the message to my phone i.e. Pick up some radicchio at the store tonight. It's sticky notes without killing trees. Yeah I can be green sometimes.

3. Alerts.com - Pretty much not different than Google Calendar or Jott, but it has more whistles and bells. You can get alerts to your phone or to your email..or both! Birthday reminders, notes, Amber alerts, baseball scores every 3 innings, and the feature I like - traffic updates. Just enter in the zip code and choose the route you want and get the alert. For 8am I choose the east version of the route, then for 5pm I choose the west version of the route because that's what I take. Perfect.

Simplify your life ...embrace technology. Use it, and you'll be a richer person. Ignore it and your life will be full of sticky notes. I'm constantly coming across tons of applications and widgets, and checking them out. If you know any cool ones...send them my way...I'll review them.

SIMPLIFY! SANCTIFY!

Blame Bush!

As you know I am not a fan of President Bush. However I don't blame him for everything like most liberals and democrats do. Iran apparently has long range missiles than can destroy U.S. bases and Israel. However Obama is blaming Bush for this because it has happended during his administration. Hilarious. I am sick of everyone blaming Bush for everything. You would think the libs would love this guy (Bush) because he is anything but conservative. Tired of it.

Wake up people..the 2 party debate is a joke. And you are falling for it hook line and sinker.

10. Powerwashing a deck is fun and easy. Staining that said deck the next day when it's super hot pretty much blows. What a royal pain. I felt no satisfaction doing it, and did not feel any sense of accomplishment when complete. Why? Because it sucked. I hate painting and staining. It's just so freakin monotonous. I used to think it was theraputic. Now it just gives me more time to think how messed up I am. Yes of course it looks great in case you were wondering.

9. The feds want to mandate the 55 mph speed limit on the interstates. They claim this will save fuel economy. What? Exsqueeze me but stay out of my business. Every election year we get these silly stupid proposals that make no sense. All in order to raise the awareness of political baloney. Sick of the govt trying to control my life. I feel the need, the need for speed!

8. Is there anything more annoying than streets that change their names when going from town to town? 15 Mile Road changes to Maple Road. Why? Oh then 16 Mile Road changes to Big Beaver Road, then changes to Metro Parkway. Hello? The Civil planners need to be shot for allowing this to happen. Keep one name for the road or street for it's entire length. Is this so hard to do? [Napolean Dynamite: "Idiot"]

7. I'm not understanding this Kenny Chesney craze. Watched him on tv...and I'm still wondering why a country guy goes up on stage and moves around like a rapper? Gangsta Country? I'll never understand new country. I'm very happy not listening to this tripe.

6. A nearby city had fireworks last week for the holiday. In fact about 5 communities around me had this. Now the one I went to, I heard they spent $50,000 on the fireworks. I enjoyed them, and it was a good time. However 50k for 45 minutes is not my idea of good city spending. Do the politicans or city officials have enough guts to raise taxes next year? How about using that money to take care of some senior citizens homes? Or maybe use it for some family who's in need You see people the issue still is government has no clue. Privatize whenever possible! Boom! Ahh! Ooooh!

[ This blog is brought to you by the number 30, and the word clogs ]

5. So the latest panic and fear is that confusion over apple juice and tiki torch oil. It seems some people have mistakenly swallowed some oil thinking it was apple juice. 1 person died and 5 others were hospitalized. Honey, when you go shopping tonight please make sure that the tiki oil is next to the orange juice because I don't want to be confused. Thanks honey.

4. I ask you, is there any one profession more useles than a political pundit talking head? A person who analyzes what a politican does and says, all just on conjecture while throwing out past election facts in order to validate their postulating? There's not! From now until the November you will see these shrills all over the place, all not making much sense. One of you has to have a voodoo doll for these people.

3. I think Madonna is a brilliant business person, and she can dance good. Other than that, pretty much a skank. I think Alex Rodriguez is probably the best baseball player in the game, but off the field he's a skank. So Arod is doing Madonna. Madonna's husband is threatening to keep the kids in London. Arod's wife filed for divorce and has been rumored to be living with Lenny Kravitz (the guy who showers once a week). What's my point? I don't know now. I just forget.

2. It has started already. The Olympic coverage onslaught. The constant barrage of human interest stories and the bs drama. Here we go getting stories shoved down our throats about athelete we never hear about, and could care less about because we never watch their sport. Show me the event only. I do not want to know that so and so was raised by a one-legged grandma alone in the backwaters of Mississippi, while picking cotton and having 2 paper routes. I just can't handle it. The producers at the networks believe that women eat this stuff up. Well do you? Coz then I blame you if you are a woman who likes this stuff. Gimme my sports back!!!

1. My softball teammate is in love with Mariah Carey. No thanks. All her stuff sounds the same, she isnt attractive, and she's in love with herself. She dresses like a tasteless tramp and seemingly always makes the news because her PR machine knows how to churn it. I see nothing of value in her as a performer, let alone eye candy. Zilch!

Happy Birthday America

I spend quite a bit of time throughout the year bashing policies, bashing politicians, bashing the apathy that has swept this country. Anywhere from local governments to the states to the federal there is corruption and misguided values run away. Many of you blast me for being so negative from time to time. You also say that I have nothing positive to say or that I'm just a miserable depressed repressed negative ogre. Well I am not going to deny that label because it might be true, because sometimes I sure feel that way.

But there are a few things that I do know and that I can defend. I know that when I present something that is bad or evil and voicing my displeasure I am then at the same time giving an indication of what I do love. It might not sound happy, but that's just how it is with me. I also know that despite the fact that this country has lost it's way, it still is the greatest country in the world. There are many things that need to be changed, need to be fixed, and need to be eradicated. We have the framework in place to make it great again, and to pursue happiness and freedom. All things that are true Americana can endure if you take the time to care.

Our forefathers were brilliant men who give us a chance continually to make amends and prosper. We've have millions of people sacrificing their lives and their time servicing and defending our country. We have millions more who came here in search of a better place, because it is. We owe it to them and their spirits to continue to make America great and better. Don't look for the silly change that Obama offers because it's not real. Don't look for the false leadership in McCain because it's not there. Look at yourself and be the change and let it start with you.

God Bless America

Ron Paul on Obama and his silly CHANGE

A.D.D. Rumblings No. 7108

1. It's been that time of year where inevitably I have to go to some high school graduation party, to give money to some kid who's barely said a word to me in 18 years. All to get some boring food in return. Now the food I've had has been pretty good as far as taste. But very boring in presentation and variety! Same old stuff. Mostacolli and chicken. Mostacolli and chicken. Mostacolli and chicken. Anyone watch Martha Stewart out there? Come on people let's go and have some nice parties for a change. Cake is good.

3. Michael Gagnon the drunk driver who killed my friends got sentenced to 43 years in prison last week. Everyone asks me if I think justice was served or not. Everyone asks me if the amount of time was suffice, or if I am happy with the verdict? It is what it is, and there really is nothing I can do about it at this point no matter what I think. No matter what happened, nothing will change as far as bringing them back. Innocent lives will never be the same again, and nothing will bring them back. At least this guy won't be able to drink and get behind a wheel anymore. At least it's possible that someone else might stop drinking because of this. You always want and look for some good to come out of bad things. Let's hope more lives are saved because of this tragedy. Life goes on somehow.

2. Nevada has reconvened their Republican convention, which means their delegate will be choosing Ron Paul. Enabling him to win that state. What a protest mark if that happens! Lately I've been getting alot of people telling me Ron Paul is the only candidate who isn't a real politician. He's the only one with a proven track record to uphold the constitution, and the only one you can really trust. Hello, what do you think I've been saying for a year now? Come on people...I'm tired. Hey check out Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party. Now there's some truth!

6. I posted this the other day...about catching fire flies then throwing them in my pond then watching the mouths of my Calico fish light up. One swallowed and his stomach light up. I'm either a complete clown or a bug killer. This is great cheap fun for those of you looking for something to do. I ask myself when I see all of this unbridled fun how people can live without a freaking pond?

[ This blog is brought to you by the phrase "put up or shut up" ]

4. Ok so I'm doing a friend of mine, who's like a little sister to me, a favor by putting a political sign on my front lawn. I hate political signs on lawns. They are ugly, they do nothing for me, and I'm more apt to vote for a local guy who has the least amount of signs just to piss off everyone. Signs, signs, everywhere signs!




7. I'm at a restaurant the other day and I notice that all the waitresses have a stud in their nose. A pierced nostril. What am I missing here? Is this some kind of code or something? I know I'm a geezer now and perhaps not as hip as I used to be, but what the heck is this all about? Someone tell me. Please don't tell me it's about looking attractive, because it's not. I'm an expert at what is attractive, and that's not it. If you have a runny nose, does it rust?

8. I find it funny when a smoker comes to my office and has no idea that they reek of smoke. Somehow they think by smoking outside that the smoke doesn't follow them in and they are doing everyone a favor. Look here's the deal smokers: it smells. You might think you are doing everyone a favor by not smoking in front of them, but you aren't because it follows you around. Like Pigpen!

9. How long should you date someone before you get married? Most people say 1 to 2 years is the norm. But really is that long enough? I tend to think that age should make a difference too. Like no one under 30 should get married. Sure there are exceptions to that, but I'm speaking from experience. I am not the person today that I was when I was 25 or even 30. Some people say 8 years is the perfect time...it allows you to really get to know the person when you live with them. It allows you get used to their habits, and it allows you see the other person change. You'll get to see her go psycho on you, then you can decide if you want to live with that or not. Kind of makes sense to a degree. As I always tell my friend who just get married: Wow it's great you get to sleep with the same woman over and over and over and over for the rest of your life. [ insert tuba sound effect now ]

10. Entertainment books. Ugh! I believe I have probably bought about 5 of these over the years, and hardly used any of them. What a complete waste of money. Each are probably $25, and I probably saved $5 from coupons used. I have no one to blame buy myself for not using them. Also I blame myself for knowing that I probably wouldn't have used them anyways because most coupons are useless. Yeah like I'm going to use a 50% off coupon for friggin bowling! Spare me!
