RTBTCKI (T minus 4 edition)

Doonesbury is hitting a little too close to home for me this week. It has been a number of years since I was downsized but the sting is still there. My sympathies to everyone else who finds this cartoon a slice of their lives.

Crappy sleep at night recently hasn't been helping me get stuff done. It's not the coughing which I seem done with along with the sinus pressure, but the weird and often scary dreams that keep waking me up. Some would honestly make a good horror movie or murder mystery. My mind is trying to sort something out at the expense of my sleep pattern.

It is nice, however, to be most over this last illness. I am only coughing in the evening really with no more than normal sniffing for me.

I am debating whether to attack the room I have been avoiding or cleaning the room I am sitting in. Either way, a room will be cleaned today.

Plaxico Burress is an idiot. A gun in the waistband of his sweatpants? I have to agree with Jon Stewart that you should at least wear jeans or slacks and a belt if you are going to tote iron. And the bouncers let him in with it. They knew that he had it. It was a fricking Glock. Why was he at a club where her felt he needed semi-automatic heat and why did he bring his team mates with him? I hope that his suspension is upheld. The sad thing is that even if the Giants can dump the rest of his contract, after he gets out of jail, he'll find a team that wants him to play for them for an absurd amount of money. Think Pacman Jones. I also find it sad that in the NFL human life is held in less regard than an animals. Shoot a Bouncer, serve your time and get another team. Fight dogs (which I think is wrong on so many levels) and you are blacklisted by the NFL.

Off to get Caroline ready for School.

I am grateful for not waking up with coughing fits.

Re: dogfighting vs. shooting a human. Of course I am against both, but the dogfighting included gambling and, as Pete Rose can attest, that is the biggest sports sin of all.

True. Gambling can be a very dark road.

Re: dogfighting vs. shooting a human.
Humans can fight back, those poor dogs are defenseless and must rely on humans to treat them decently.
Burress is stupid. Vick is evil.

This is also true.

I think Pacman Jones is evil too because he has a total lack of empathy for another human being and only comes up with excuses for the things he has done.

I do not think that Vick should ever play in the NFL either because he did something so horrendous.

What I was trying to say was I think that both Vick and Jones should be out on their ear and their earnings curtailed.

Personally, **I** think Vick needs to be staked naked over an anthill and smeared with honey.
I will provide the honey.
Heck, I will find him an anthill, but it needs to be someplace warm--the ants are hibernating up here now. But we can stake him out here to wait for summer...a little time out in the subzero weather will be good for improving his character.

2001 downsized from a dot com.

Took me 2 years to land on my feet.

*sigh*

I remember all too well.

Also, you've seen my posts today.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
