Call me rough, call me callous, call me an ass, but I am thrilled that Tim Wakefield is stuck at 199.
The team might go in the hopper so bad that they do not make the playoffs trying to get Timmy his 200th.
The Red Sox want this worse than him, so they don’t have to drag his sorry 40 something ass back next year for it.
Enough Tim. People who chase numbers are wrong and usually it is sad. Sad to see some over the hill guy, see Brett Farve, drag their tired old bodies out to the field or mound to try to reach a goal.
I do not feel sorry for him, not for a second. I feel worse for the person who is 99 years old and 8 months and drops dead just before they turn 100. I don’t feel sorry for Peyton manning, that has his consecutive game streak stopped because he cannot turn his head.
The real reason I never liked Wakefield is that he always seemed to be pitching when I went to the game, He would not sign an autograph for my 6 year old in Baltimore in 1989 or some date decades ago. he gets a haircut every week. He is way too anal for me. Which brings me to the point, he is too anal about getting to 200.
Now I have heard from everybody, that he is a great guy and everybody loves him, and he does so much for charity. All I remember is the face on that six year old kid who got told to shew away.
This is trite, and small and I surely should not carry a grudge, but I am not the muli millionaire, who is chasing a number.
He has millions of fans, I guess it is ok if two people do not care for him, or him getting to 200.
He only had ten wins when he told the kid to piss off in an empty lobby of a hotel in Baltimore. By the way, Jose Canseco was there too, and he could not have been nicer.
Tying my shoes- I bend over, and by the time I have tied my shoes, I am dizzy and seeing stars. I am gasping for air
cutting my toenails ( see #1 ) which is worse than tying my shoes. I have to reach further. OMG! this might be the most breathtaking thing I do. Even if i lift my leg on the toilet seat, it brings tears to my eyes, as my belly compresses up against my diaphragm and makes me suck air like an asthmatic at a spring picnic.
walking up stairs. yes this takes my breath away and shortens my life every time I have to put one foot in front of the other with a 8 inch rise. I breathe as hard as a teenage girl at a Justin Bieber concert.
Smoking cigars- It feels good when you are doing it, but you wake up in the morning wishing your throat was 3 inches wider. Who ever says that they do not inhale cigars, are lying.
Getting old sucks!
Your bones hurt, your skin slides and hair grows in strange places.
BUT!!! it is all not that bad.
Some stores and restaurants love us old people.
Take Dunkin Donuts. Since I turned 55, I get a 10% discount. I was pissed when my medium” hot” cream no sugar coffee went to $1.99 at my local Dunkin Donuts. The window person ( old people are too sore or tired to walk in, actually most just drive through the window) gave me my receipt and my penny back. What do I do??? I am a notorious big tipper. Do I dig for some change, or embarrass myself and say no ” keep the change”?
Instead, I proudly say ” senior citizen” discount please. I get the 10 % off 39 cents, and the window person gets a nice tip. A “win-win” for everyone.
Here are some other discounts for seniors. ENJOY, and do not be embarrassed to be old. They want your business, that is why they do it.
Since many senior discounts are not advertised to the public, our advice to men and women over 50 is to ALWAYS ask a sales associate if that store provides a senior discount.

The lockout is over and it is time to make up a team for 2011. That means signing the draft picks, picking up free agents and trades.
This blog is a little late, as things have started up already.
Here is how I see things going:
This team is still all about the coach and the QB if the coach ever left we would be toast and if Brady gets hurt or starts to show age and complacency, then we are toast, but beyond that, the draft was ok, lots of potential, but as usual, they could have done more with what they had to work with
Free agents: unusual, but we have not really signed any, nor do we look like we are going to. We did resign Matt Light. This will be trouble. He did suck and he will only suck more. He is nothing but a clubhouse clown. If you do not line up algea crumpler next to him every down, he will get Brady killed. The human turnstile, as I like to call him is a fraud. Watch with your eyes, and you will see.
Logan Mankins MUST STAY.
trades: This is where BB is at his best. He sucks at the draft, but he gets great talent in trades. like welker, and Moss and dillon and so many others.
This year we get the prize. Albert Haynesworth is a beast. He is the best. no one can stop him one on one. He is a certifiable moron and a quitter, but if he plays and he acts like a human being, he will be the best pickup EVER. Next to Wilfolk, he will reek havoc on the NFL.
I am soooo excited about seeing him play if he does come to play, if not we gave up a fifth, which BB would have just drafted some nobody that would not make the team.
Ochocinco. I have wanted him for 5 years. I have been writing about getting him for ever now. He loves football, and he does not get into trouble. He blocks, he catches and he gets open. He is not a burner, but we will put on the field 6 possession receivers at one time.
Gronkowski, hernandez, ochocinco,welker, branch and woodhead. Who are you going to cover? If Matt light could ever give Brady 2 seconds, he will hit one of these sure handed beasts.
Here is what I have written in the past on the minute.
4/24/09 on pats draft
PATRIOTS- Brandon Pettigrew Tight end. I know dont be surpised, but probably either Matthews or Cushing, whoever is available. They might not pick here anyway, I would trade it for ochocinco.
4/20/09
My big wish is for the Pats to trade for Chad Ochocinco. BB likes him, and he would be rediculous across from moss with Welker in the middle. Outside of that , maybe a draft day deal for julius peppers.
I have been wishing for this for awhile. I would have rather had Larry fitzgerald but that would have been more costly.
Seems weird, but Danny woodhead will be fighting for a job.
Ty Warren was never coming back. He back stabbed BB last year, by not getting himself fixed up before he came to camp.
Running backs will be a crap shoot. Maybe one of the flotsam and jepson will come through.
Please lets have more of a 4-3 not the 3-4
I would give a 2nd and 4th for osi umenyora from the giants.
Osi burying Brady after Matt Light let him run by
I won tickets the other day for the 4th exhibition game. r u kidding me, I will not be able to give those away, even if I pay for the tailgate party.
We are still weak at RB and outside linebacker. Watch for some additions here. Roth would be a good pick up, or lofa Tatupu. He is from this area, and might want to return.
Right now I see 12-4, which is pretty good. The Jets basically have swapped Plaxico for Braylon Edwards, and have lost a few guys. Their draft was shallow and weak. Miami has been adding players, but do not have a QB.
If the Lions, can get a defensive backfield together, they will compete this year for the super bowl. Watch them, they have twice the talent on their team as the Patriots do. If Bill coached them and they had Brady, they would go 16-0
In a local sports bar trivia quiz the other night, I lost by one point. The question was, where do women mostly have curly hair? Apparently, it’s Africa
One of the other questions was to name two things commonly found in cells.
It appears that Mexicans and African Americans is not the correct answer
I’ve heard that Apple has scrapped their plans for the new children’s-oriented iPod after realizing that iTouch Kids is not a good product name.
A new Muslim clothing shop opened here, but I’ve been banned from it after asking to look at some bomber jackets
You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools
A friend of mine has just told me he’s shagging his girlfriend and her twin.
I asked, “How can you tell them apart?” He said, “Her brother has a moustache”
Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on FaceBook.
I said “I can’t wait for the new 911 to arrive!” Next thing I know 4000 Muslims have added me as a friend!!
Being a modest man, when I checked into my hotel on a recent trip, I said to the lady at the registration desk …
“I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled.”
To which she replied, “No, it’s regular porn, you sick bastard.”
The red cross knocked at my door asking if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan . I said I would love to, but my hose only reaches the bottom of the driveway.
Just when you think you have heard all of the stupid things that are going on in the US — this comes along…
Black hurricanes….
Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about. A black congresswoman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston ), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.
She would prefer some names that reflect African-American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaquille, and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!
She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in ‘language’ that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn’t understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.
I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that’s too hard to understand
I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says…
Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin’ fo’ yo ass like Leroy on a rocket!
Bitch be a category fo’! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo’ chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo’ de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE shit
your need a haircut, or the hair in your ears is too long
maybe you should not drive
you’re getting too fat
that maybe you can tone it down a bit
you should just kick it back a notch
you should not wear that bathing suit
one of your eyelashes is hanging
your spouse is fooling around on you
your shirt does not match your pants
you have smutz on your face or clothes
you have a booger hanging from your nose
when there is a brown stain on the crack of your ass.
So if you are someone’s real friend, let them know these things. If you are not a friend, let them walk around with a booger in their nose, or their fly down, or drinking too much, or humiliating themselves when their husband or wife is banging the milkman. What do you care they are not your friend anyway.
I am a lucky lucky man, I must have lots of friends, because people tell me this shit all the time. Hey monty, your drunk, too loud,take a bath, your shirt is 3 sizes too small and you might let the next tray of food just pass you by.
Thank you to all my friends, I mean it, a friend will always have your back, and let you know when you are slipping. The creeps in life, just talk behind your back and snicker. Nobody likes a creep.
Be somebody’s friend today.
Call a friend today
make a friend today
Friends are never jealous, just unconditional
If a friend calls and needs something, don’t ask where, why, or think about what else you have to do, just go and do it and ask questions later. It always comes back to you.
My best friends are my wife and my dog, in no particular order.
It seems like everybody is stressed to the max lately. We all have money issues. Nobody is making what they used to. Upside down mortgages, kid problems, marital problems, health problems, maintenance problems. Should i go on? I could for hours. We all have it, some worse than others. Problems are like assholes, we all have them.
So what do we do? Let it go. Deal with it. Stop thinking that you are worse off than everybody else, or worse stop thinking that the guy next door has no problems or stress. believe me they do.
Think about the positives, relieve the stress, smile. The problems might not go away, they never do. When you get rid of one, another appears, so be happy and for God sakes smile. I promise you it could be worse.
I received this email today, and the words made some sense:
STRESS
A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and
explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of
water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question,
‘half empty or half full?’….. she fooled them all… “How heavy is
this glass of water?”, she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter.. It depends on how
long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I
hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it
for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. In each case it’s the
same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She
continued, “and that’s the way it is with stress. If we carry our
burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes
increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.“As with the glass
of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before
holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time
practiced. So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your
burdens down.
Don’t carry them through the evening and into the
night… pick them up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment.
Relax, pick them up later after you’ve rested. Life is short. Enjoy it
and the now ’supposed’ stress that you’ve conquered!”
1 * Accept the fact that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days
you’re the statue!
2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to
eat them.
3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the
middle of it.
4 * Drive carefully… It’s not only cars that can be recalled by
their Maker..
5 * If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague
6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it..
7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.
8 * Never buy a car you can’t push.
9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then
you won’t have a leg to stand on.
10 * Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
11 * Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep
late.
12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.
13 * When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you
live.
15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the
world to one person.
16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are
pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different
colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a
detour.
19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you
today.
20 *Save the earth….. It’s the only planet with CHOCOLATE !*
Thanks to the salary cap, the greedy Jacobs family finally had to be on par with the rest of the league.
Charelli made some great moves.
I was not a fan of Claude and i still do not like the guy, but I have to give him his props. He did it. the guys bought in and played like champs.
I am a pink hat fan, but i loved every minute of the playoffs.
The gar bar was full every game. Time for the gar bar cronies to catch up on the Sox
Seidenberg was my MVP, although Thomas deserved it.
Chara showed class and kept out of the box. I would not have had his patience.
kesler could play for me anytime
The sedin’s stock is at an all time low. embarrassed by a rookie to boot.
We should have Obama Call their government and trade them Detroit for Vancouver. That city looks awesome. They think they had troubles and looting? wait till they get our gangs from Detroit.
Recchi is the man. 43 wow. think about that.
Segin, will be a stud, but not in Claude’s system. If he went to another team, he would be unbelievable.
Tampa Bay lightning were the best team the Bruins faced.
I am too old for parades. I have been to enough. My favorite was the Larry Bird city Hall parade. Moses eats shit i think he said.
four teams and four champions in a decade is really great. we are really lucky in Boston.
First off there are three issues when you are eating pizza to consider.
1) when you are in a crowd and you are deciding what to get. Don’t be a prick and say I want an anchovy, or I only eat veggie pizza. Don’t expose yourself for a pussy and say, I’ll have a Hawaiian. Listen to what the consensus is, and meet a common ground. Plain pizza works. When in doubt get the plain. If you are buying pizza for a crowd, get half of them plain, a 1/4 pepperoni, and a 1/4 veggie style, like onion, pepper, and mushroom. forget about splitting toppings. That is gay.
2) Pizza does not come in even sized slices unless you eat out of a box. What to do?
If you are the bigger of the two people go for the larger slice, and keep going for the larger slices till you have had 3. Then see where the other person is. take a smaller one. After you have had your 4 slices. Slow down and wait for the nod. If you do not hear from them, say ” are you going to eat that last piece”? Never say no, but I am saving it. That is just being an ass.
3)Always order more pizza than you can eat. there is a tomorrow with Pizza. You can heat it up, or just eat it cold out of the box. This is first come first serve, so if you get up in the middle of the night, go for it. If someone says ” where is that left over pizza” ? Say i dunno, maybe it disappeared. It is also ok if you pick up the pizza, to eat a slice on the way home. same thing with Chinese food, It is ok to have one of each app on the way home. If someone complains, send them next time.
The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, “Come on inand let me pour one for you! What’ll it be, Gentlemen?”
There seemed to be a fully-stocked bar, so each of the men ordered a martini.
In short order, the bartender serves up four iced martinis…shaken,not stirred, and says, “That’ll be 10 cents each,please.”
The four men stare at the bartender for a moment. Then look at each other.
They can’t believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.
Again, four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying, “That’s 40 cents, please.”
They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity is more than they can stand. Theyhave each had two martinis and so far they have spent less than a dollar.
Finally one of the men says, “How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece?”
“I’m a retired tailor from Phoenix,” the bartender said, and I always wantedto own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime…wine, liquor, beer, it’s all the same.”
“Wow!!!! That’s quite a story,” says one of the men.
The four of them sipped at their martinis and couldn’t help but notice sevenother people at the end of the bar who didn’t have drinks in front of them, and hadn’t ordered anything the whole time they were there.
One man gestures at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks and asksthe bartender, “What’s with them?”
The bartender says, “Oh, they’re all old retired farts from Florida. They’re waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half price.”
I have been studying this draft for 12 months. I started when they left last years war room with a dozen plus picks including multiple one’s and two’s and three’s.
I am conversant about at least the top 100 players based on info I have read from hundreds of sources. It is the same sources that everybody else including 31 teams use, because they all seem to pick the same players in the same area that the consensus has them.
Not BB he is smarter than them all. Or at least he thinks he is.
He is by far the best coach in the NFL, and maybe ever. But, I loathe the idea that he is shopping for the groceries. If he would only keep his nose out of things, we might have the best and sickest team ever.
Believe me I know that Devin McCourty was awesome. But no one else knew and I do not think he knew it. At the time, he just picked a guy who was slotted to go much lower, and was good on special teams.
Contrarian Bill always picks somebody who NO ONE else would pick. When in doubt he uses the three BB rules of the draft. Trade down whenever possible, two take someone who can do special teams, and three, when all else fails, take a white guy.
Nate solder is a good player, small but good. He already put on 90 pounds in college, so how many more could he put on. He looks slightly slender than me.
I would not have taken him, I would have taken Cam Jordan, not because i loved him, but der we need a pass rush and he was the most polished pass rusher. But beyond that, i would have moved up to get fairley, dareus, or Quinn. There were plenty of people ready to deal, and we have tons of picks we do not use any way, why not get a good player.
Ok now we have 28. The best running back available is there at a great spot. No brainer right. Wrong trade out and get another pick which we will trade out next year. BILL we need a quality running back, and mark ingram is good trust me. Hell trust everybody, he one more games in his carreer than anybody, he won the heisman and he won a national championship and he is a nice guy. Jesus does he have to be white too to pick him.
Ok now we have the night to think about our next pick.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
I wrote this on May 2nd, and never finished from this point. I was so mad at the time. I have had time to think about the draft, and read everyones comments and analysis and i still hate the draft the Patriots had.
They should have taken Cameron Jordan at 17 ingram at 28 or ryan williams at 33 and a lineman at 28.
The two runners are reaches that supposedly are character guys. enough with the character guys already. Lawrence Taylor was a complete jerk, but he could play.
More pick next year, big deal we will trade out again. or pick someone nobody knows.
The world can be broken down to two kinds of people.
1) those that drive in the left lane and
2) those that drive in the right lane
If you are on a two lane highway, see which lane you drive in. It tells everything about you. If you are going along in a long line of cars in the right lane with two hands on the wheel, and not willing to pass anyone, but satisfied to get where you need to go safely and on time, well, you are not in my tribe, or like me.
If however, you cannot stand the monotony of the right lane and it’s no stress lifestyle, then you are one of us. people who need change, want to move fast, who throw caution to the wind and have a mission in life and somewhere to be.
You might notice, that there are twice as many people in the right lane, that is cool, the world needs followers and workers. It leaves the left lane free for entrepreneurs and people on a mission, that seek freedom and adventure.
Think about who you are, and either get back in line, or pull out and pass somebody.
People in the left lane do not drive with two hands on the wheel. EVER.
I try and try to stay in the right lane, but it is way to frustrating. I cannot understand it really.
Today is my birthday. I have to tell you, I have always loved birthdays. I think they are special. It is your day if you want to embrace it. You do not have to share it with anybody, unless you are a twin. I am not sure how old I am because I lie about it all the time. I always tell people I am older than I am. If I say I am 60 , people say ” you look good for 60″ If I tell them my real age, they just say ” dude, get it together”
My last post was about a bug in my bonnet. I was not done. I have some more issues today.
First off, I hate corduroys They look great in the store, and they look great on skinny people They even look great the first time you wear them, and after that, they always look like shit. Baggy and worn.
While I am talking about clothes, Try to find a pair of high heels that fit a guy. It is impossible I went to 5 stores. I was looking to get two pair, to have high heel races at tea dance. I had a board with two man heats with a double elimination format. but you cannot find anything even close to fitting, even if you used duct tape. You should have seen the faces on the old ladies when i was trying them on.
Country music awards. Are you shitting me? I love country music. I was country before country was cool, but how do they have a new awards show every week? country music awards, country music grammy’s, CMT awards, academy of country music awards, ICM awards, tribute to so and so awards. grand old oprey awards etc on and on enough. By the way, you have to be drop dead gorgeous to be a country singer. average looking people need not apply.
Parking lot crazies. What happens to people in parking lots. They have no regard for arrows, etiquette, or lines. People scream around like loonies cutting across lanes. racing aisle by aisle, pulling out randomly, all to get 50 feet closer to the walmart. perfectly sane people become insane in a parking lot.
I love prison movies and prison shows. My favorite movies are cool hand luke and shawshank redemption. My favorite tv shows are lockup, hard time and american jails. Is that weird?
I am sick of leaves, mulch and grass. It is the vicious cycle of life that never ends.
Do you know what a forsythia is? It is that ubiquitous bush that EVERYBODY has
in their yard in the spring. It is yellow and blooms in April. The thing never stops growing. Everybody has one, because after a long winter the first nice day people go to the garden center to get a plant and the only one that is blooming and is cheap is the forsythia, so EVERYBODY has one. Take the challenge. drive down the road in two weeks and I dare you to find a house that does not have this Yellow bush.
Smoking looks stupid. I did it for years, but when I see people smoking in a car or outside an office or a bar, it looks stupid. It makes them look stupid. But what annoys me more is when someone says to a smoker ” you should quit” No shit there is not a smoker alive that does not want to quit der! it is harder than hitting the lottery. If you were never a smoker, you will never understand what a monkey it is. If you smoke, keep trying, it will work one of these days.
Diets are the same, but harder, if you quit smoking, you do it cold turkey, but if you diet, you still have to eat. The temptation is always there. I have invented over a dozen diets, have you tried any of them?
Monday diet- eat every day like it is Monday
Rip Van winkle diet- just sleep all day, you lose two pounds every night
girlfriend diet- Guys that lose weight usually have a girlfriend
tumor diet- remove the growth and lose weight
Mexican diet- Go on vacation to Mexico and drink the water
ADD is tough.
Ten things you cannot do with ADD:
fish
sit at a bar
wait in line
meetings
long dinners
watch baseball
sorry I lost my concentration at 6
have a great day.

They shot Martin Luther king 43 years ago today. too bad that guy ” got it”
I do not know if JFK ” got it” , but if it was good looking, he ” hit it”
I have a bug in my bonnet about some stuff. What the fuck is a bug in your bonnet anyway? What a stupid saying.
Whats bothering me lately? HMMM!
People who use big words to say a common thing. People who say things like bifurcate instead of saying ” cut in half” What are they doing just trying to look smarter or sumptin.
People who pick sides in the NFL labor negotiations. Are you shitting me, they are all rich and need to just get their asses back to work. I can find other things to do. Football is the LAST sport I watch anymore. I could do without that too.
Going 45 miles an hour on the highway because you are talking on the fucking phone. Are you serious. In the old days if someone was doing that, they were shitfaced or 100. now it is every other car. That is the height of selfishness and narcissism ( oops big word that could have been said differently) How important is that call, to screw up all the traffic. Hello, this is 2011 we muti-task. talking and keeping up to the guy in front of you is easy and a simple multi task function.
I hate it when you go to the store and they give you one of those little plastic bags with one item in it. Fill the thing up. I can carry it I promise. What happened to paper or plastic. You do not even get a choice.
Another thing I hate is specials at a restaurant that never change. They staple them on the front. You can tell the special pad is years old, so if it is the special every day, put it in the the damn menu.
Brandon Merriwether sucks. He is a punk, was a punk will always be a punk. ya he stomped on peoples heads in college, and now he is being looked into regarding a shooting. My guess is he has 6 kids with 6 woman, and he is the piece of dogshit we all know he is. He also cannot play a lick and is not worth millions. Money enables morons.
Professional reality show people are a new phenomenon ( is that word too big fo ya?) Boston Rob, Omarosa, jose conseco, and the worst one is that mickey mouse faced weasel Bethany Frankel somebody or other. She is making millions on a half dozen reality shows. Not long before she is dancing with the friggin stars.
I give, and I give and I give back. I feel good when I go to bed that I give my share. But why the fuck do I have to be asked at every damn store to give a buck to this or that charity, so that some papa ginos or stop and shop exec can hand a big check that me and you paid for to some charity. I do not get the credit nor do you, and when the pimple faced kid says “sir would you like to give a dollar to the hemorrhoid relief fund” they make me feel like I have to explain to the little shit why I am not. They are preying on my conscience. Then when I am just calming down from the charitable harassment and the one item in my bag, I get some snot nosed little kid and her overbearing mom trying to push girl scout cookies down my throat as I leave. OR ” sir can you give me some money so I can go cheer in Aruba for a week” Are you shitting me?
I have not been on a vacation for almost two years, and I had never even been on a plane till I was 22, and this 9 year old wants my money to go to Aruba. No way Jose…
Why is everybody so high on the Red Sox? They picked up two good bats, YA! they lost two good bats YA! ok der, that is a swap. What makes them better?
Are doctors drug dealers? or are they pyramid marketers. Everytime I go to the doctor, even when I feel fine, I get a new pill, and they send me to three of their “associates” I have a cold, and the next thing I know, I am going here for a chest x-ray, and there for an MRI, and another place to see an allergist. They all give me pills and all I needed was chicken soup. another thing, take my advice never get the damn flu shot. I swore I would never do it again. Every time I get it, I get the flu, so I did not for the last three years and no flu. I got talked into it two weeks ago, and three days later i was throwing up in a bucket and shitting in my pants.
If you ever wonder where this country is going, just sit in the lobby of a social security office for an hour. The money that fly’s out of there is stupid. The people barely can converse and the cons and scams are enough to entertain you.
Two things to remember in life. Do not tell anybody you own a pickup, or can fix a computer. You will never stop hearing from them.
My favorite song right now is S&M by Rhianna.
I want to learn the Dougie dance
The economy is not on the rebound
I did not vote for him.
Iphone is the best phone out there, and the IPAD is the best invention ever, unless you are male and 75, then it would be Viagra I guess.
