Have you ever been really tired? I mean so tired that you feel as though you could fall down where you are and just sleep?
Yeah. Me too. It's been that kind of a month, and things don't appear to be getting any better. Still, like so many others, I'll deal with it. Besides, things could be much worse.
I could be in Iran right now. What a situation. The strange thing is that some people are hollering for the United States to get involved. Yeah, they should get right on that. The U.S. can simply add another front to the battles already being fought. That'll work. Besides, the issue for Iran is internal. It's an election fraud battle. Hmmm...wonder what would have happened if people got that angry back during Bush/Gore?
I could be one of the many, many people who have been laid off. I have so many friends who are going through this. It's heartbreaking. I hope things improve soon. Which leads to...
I could be a California legislator. Don't you feel sorry for them? They are so wrapped up in their party differences that they just won't put the people first. Awwwww.....poor babies.
I could be a school-aged child. Did you ever notice that cuts tend to hit the schools first? It's amazing. Sure, administrators could probably do a better job budgeting their funds, but it doesn't help that legislators think that selling the kids down the river is a budget-cutting option. When they graduate, they'll be as thick and unlearned as the legislators that are running the show and...wait...the legislators are breeding new legislators!!!
No. I think tired is okay.

Soooo lazy
Man, it's hard to believe that I have such a difficult time posting to a blog. It's just that I forget about it, especially since I don't know if anyone is reading it.
Anyway, I'm just going to add a quick update here, and try to do better in the future.
French is still a tough language. I have people tell me that I'm getting good at it, but I don't hear it. Why is that? Is it due to self-dislike, lack of self-confidence, or what? Anyway, I have to keep working at it, because I'm going to have a ton more work in a few months, and it isn't going to be pretty.
Still loving my Ninja 250. It's a blast, and it handles so well. I've gotten used to riding again, and I realize just how much I missed it. My only concern is that it's going to start hitting 100 degrees soon, and even my new highly ventilated jacket is going to feel broiling. Oh well, it's better to be safe. Just a warning to all of you in cars: when bikers split lanes, it isn't always because we just want to get ahead of you. For instance, sometimes when it is hot, you forget that we don't have air conditioning on our bikes, and sitting for 10 minutes waiting to move to the front of a line at a light can cause us to start dehydrating. So please, if you see one of us coming down your line between cars, give us a break. We aren't all doing it to show off.
I heard former governor Jesse Ventura talking on a radio show the other day, and he was saying how many of the problems in the world today can be chalked up to organized religion. I was struck by how much that sounded like a shot across the bow for the destruction of Babylon.
Convention next month in SF. Wish I could go to the one in Paris or North Carolina, but money's tight, as many people are experiencing. Maybe next year.
One more thought: change the NBA lottery! There's no way that the team with the worst record should only have a 25% shot at the top pick. That's ridiculous! Weight it so the team has at least a 40% chance at the top pick, 20 at the number 2 pick, and is guaranteed no worse than #3. The Kings getting the number 4 pick after a 17 win season is ludicrous.
Posted 30 minutes later: One MORE thought! PETA and its members should get a freaking life! Now they are upset at President Obama for killing a fly. A fly!!! It is an insect, known for carrying disease and serving very little purpose. Why don't you people worry more about human beings? A fly....for cryin' out loud. On top of that, they are upset at the fishmongers in Seattle for tossing fish. Dead fish. Not live fish. Dead fish. Fish that are bereft of life. They are pushing up the daisies! (Sorry...having a Monty Python moment there.) Does PETA think that the fish are embarassed being thrown? Perhaps they aren't really dead. They're not QUITE dead. In fact, they're feeling better and think they'll go for a walk! (Whoops. Another Python moment.) I say again...GET A LIFE! GET A CLUE!!! GET A REAL JOB!!!
I'm not saying that animal abuse is acceptable in any way. However, these are flies and dead fish. Flies and dead fish. I can't even wrap my brain around the way these loons think. I'm going to take some Tylenol now and try to get these dorks out of my brain. (Loonies.)
