Happy Ground Hog Day

20517793_clipartGround Hog Day has to be one of the most under-rated holidays of the year. We I say to someone, Happy Ground Hog Day… they look at me and simply go, “Oh Yea”. I can’t even tell you how many times that happened.

My nieces birthday is today. How lucky to be born on a Holiday such as Ground Hog. But nobody seems to celebrate the day at all. I understand this year, 2014, it just happens to be on SuperBowl Sunday, so that is stealing most of it’s thunder. But even when it’s not there isn’t much going on. When have you ever been given a “Happy Ground Hog Day” card. Have you ever seen Ground Hog stuffed animals on sale? We need to come together and unite and make this a better holiday! lol

I’m all for it, email me with any ideas.

I’m almost 50

I’m turning 50 later on in the month and everyone around me say’s I’ve been acting real strange. I wonder if sub-consciously it’s bother me that I’m turning 50 years old. I have thought about it a few times thinking that 2/3 of my life is over, assuming the average age of an american male is 75 or so.

I guess at some point we all realize that we have fewer days ahead of us than behind us. When I was in my late teens and early 20’s I was Invisible … now I’m just a mortal man. My hair has turned white, my bones and muscles ache more and more, and I eat things because they are good for me, not because I like them.

We’ll I’ve got a 1 1/2 year old daughter so I’ll still be kickin’ for awhile longer. I want to see all my kids up and married and doing well for themselves. lol But isn’t that all parents hopes!

You get screwed inside too

You not only do “You get fucked when you go through the drive thru”. But you get fucked by Subway when you go inside. I sent my son in for our dinner. Subway, eat fresh right? Sure as they “Fuck You at the Counter”!

Subs are $5.00 this month, so I had a coupon from a magazine for “Buy One 6″ sub, with the purchase of a medium soda, and get another 6″ sub free. Cool, I’ll spend $2.50 for a 6″, another $1.75 for a soda but I’ll get the other 6″ free… well sort of. You get 6″ up the ass first. The 6″ sub was $4.25, the medium drink $1.75 and then I got the other 6” for free. Now I’m not a McFuckin’ Genius but I only save $1.00, or actually spent $1.00 more than I should have (I really didn’t want a soda).

Well “Subway Eat Fresh”, you and Jared can kiss my ass! I think I won’t be giving you any more of my $1.00’s. If I’m going to get fucked and least I want it to be a HOT CHICK!

I really don’t mind paying for my food and being fair about it… but sometimes you have to make a stand. I hope my friends and family pass this along as well.

Watching Scary Movies

Picture 35How many other people watch scary movies and then freak yourself out. We watched “The Conjuring” which all-in-all was a OK movie. Predictable yes, but really OK. Well a couple of my family members freaked themselves out. It like… did you hear that, or did you just see that, or what was that? LOL

Its been a while since I watch a movie that did that to me. Actually I liked it when it happened. I think I know they’re all done at a movie theater with actors and that just takes the possibility of be scary away.

What about everyone else? Do you ever freak and scare yourselves. The best thing to do is go camping in the middle of the woods and then watch a couple horror flicks. I can download a couple to the iPad or something. Maybe that is one of my date-nights with the wife. lol

Crazy Weather

abc_gma_ice_storm_110114_wg

I’ve been watching the crazy weather in Atlanta. I thought it was funny at first but when I watched where kids had to stay at school all night and people had to stay at their jobs because they were unable to get home I stopped thinking it was funny.

Other cities in the USA are prepared for snow, Atlanta is not. They have no snow removal equipment. The snow really grid-locked the entire city. After watching TV and reading some of the newspapers I feel sorry for them now.

I bet next year or the rest of this year they’ll be way more prepared. Just having an emergency plan set up would have saved a lot of chaos.

Thank goodness here in Florida we don’t have to deal with snow, just hurricanes and storms.  It’s getting a little chili so I hope I didn’t jinx myself! LOL

Coming Back To Life

bellyI’ll be so happy to get back to feeling alive again. I’ve not been sick, just tired. It’s more mental exhaustion than physical. Here lately it takes a full day to recuperate after I teach a class for a day. I need to go to the doctors and maybe get on some medication or something for it. He’ll probably just tell me to take vitamins or something, which I already do. But I’m not complaining about teaching, I get paid extra when I teach.
It’s hard for me to believe that it’s the end of January. Didn’t I just celebrate New Years? They always said time will fly once you pass 40 but my gosh, I really didn’t think it would go this fast. My son is 18 now and I have very vivid memories of his birth. I remember his smell, his cry, and the moment I first saw him. That was 18 going on 19 years ago now.
I’m almost 50 years old now and it seems I’ve come a long way since 25. I wonder what it’ll be like at 75? I’m on the downhill slope of life I guess. lol

I’m so tired

I teach for a living, not everyday, but when I’m not teaching I’m working with students, and developing courses. The issue is unless you teach it look easy. Hey I just stand up in front of a group and talk all day, and they pay me for that. Sounds easy doesn’t it?

When I finish a day of teaching I’m usually exhausted. When I come home everyone things I’m in a bad mood because I’m not saying anything. Truth is I’m just all talked out and I’m extremely tired. I guess almost being 50 doesn’t help. lol

When you teach everyday I think you body adjust to it. It’s when it’s only 1 day a week or so that your body doesn’t get used to. I think mental exhaustion is almost worse than physical exhaustion.

If you know a teacher out there try and understand it a tough job or at least it is to me sometimes. But, don’t get me wrong… standing in an Air Conditioned room talking all day is much better that working out on a roof all day. I tired not stupid.

Mystery Movies

My web-host was down again yesterday so this is yesterdays post. Someone commented and said I need to change host. Well maybe, but when you have a host that only charges $10 a year you put up with some down time. If it were a business account and I was paying $20 – $75 a month I’d be irate as hell. But with a budget host this is what I get. Pay more get more type deal.

Some how on my Verizon account someone rented “Capt. Philips”. The only problem is nobody will admit up to it. I’ve asked everyone in the house about it and was told that I must have hit a button on accident? WTF? I think I might know if I accidentally his a button… or at least I hope I would.

Has this happened to anyone else, if so did you solve the mystery.?

Learning from Students

A student told me today that he was from South Africa. He said HIV was an epidemic down there. I asked why is that? What he said shocked me…

When people in the tribes move to the cities for work the men can have up to 5 wives. Each wife can have have another husband and so on. So if you think about it if one of them contract a disease it spreads though the population like wildfire. That is something I never knew. But I’ve been to other countries and understand how our customs change. Most Americans are very conservative with sex. In other countries if a wife has sex with another man it’s really no big deal.

When I was in Germany years ago the German guy would totally ignore the girls. We would dance and hang out with them all night. Sometimes getting very friendly. The guys just stayed to themselves. To me that was always sort of bizarre. Some of the women would be smokin’ ass hot and the guys would rather play grab ass with their buddies and totally ignore them.

I think I like our ways the best or at least that is what I’ve come to accept.

National Belly Laugh Day!

downloadYeppers, today is the “National Belly Laugh Day”. So I think we all should party and have a good time. Watch some comedy movies and eat some fun foods.

I think we’ll have Tacos, fagita, and chips and salsa, with some beer tonight. I’m not sure about the movie, maybe Hangover 3, or Dark Shadows. I’m not really sure how funny they are but we shall see.

Most people don’t celebrate the day, but I figure why not? I figure why not have a small celebration with the family. Enjoy the evening and make it special for everyone. I just picture my kids getting older with their kids and grandkids continuing to celebrate the day! lol

So join us and others in todays celebration! Have a GOOD Belly Laugh Today!
