It Wasn’t A Rock – It Was A Rock Liebster! Down! Down!

I thought this was disbanded by the RIAA, but that turned out to be Napster. I got this nice award from Becoming Bitter, and there’s some rules with this mutha.

1. Thank and link back to the blogger who gave you the award.

That’s – oh, I did that. Rock Liebster!

2. Choose your top 5 blogs (with < 200 followers) that you would like to pass this award along to. Then comment on their blogs to let them know.

Since I really can’t choose just 5, I’ll just link to this post I made recently with links to all kinds of people. Then I accomplish the goal of increasing traffic, whilst not assigning homework to someone! I’m a fucking genius! I’m way ahead of my time. A few days, at least!

3. Copy and paste the award on a post.

So I just – I did this one too! Okay, I’m done. Thanks to Kirigirisu for nominating me for this prestigious award. She’s the most rantastic chick I know. Oh, one more thing:

Scenes From A Morning Drive: Part 62 – When I Was Cruel

Morning, class! It’s 22 November 2011. Okay, I start everything with okay, and it’s sort of like a clearing of the brain. It’s cleaning the lint trap of my vocal cords. Why would I have lint in my vocal cords? WTF?  Okay. And I just said it again! Jeez.

It’s another wet day. It’s wet. It’s so wet. Cloudy, of course. Dark. Just the way I like the morning, except for the raining part. I didn’t used to be a coffee drinker, but my wife has influenced me because she makes two pots a day. So I drank it when it was cold outside and just expanded it. I used to drink tea all the time, but the coffee is already there, and it would take 2 minutes to make the tea. I can’t wait 2 minutes. What’s wrong with me? I think if I had a choice, I’d pick tea. If they were both already made. Or, well, it depends. GAHHH!! I can’t even make up my mind about coffee or tea!

First, about last evening. I’m thinking about it now. I usually go to the gym and work out with weights, and then go upstairs and run, and that’s on top of whatever I walked that day. This time – I feel bad for the guy – but some asshole threw up all over the track, and if that wasn’t bad enough, they closed the track until they could get it completely clean. I didn’t feel like waiting 20 minutes for someone to clean the track, especially when that someone works at a gym, but takes the friggin elevator up to the second floor on her way to clean it. So I just left.

The track in the gym is hilarious anyway. They built this gym in a converted hangar, and the track was going to go all around it on the second floor. But someone changed their mind, or ran out of money, so they built it halfway. Now you have to run around the track 9 times to equal a mile. So if you want to go 2 miles, you tend to lose count. It is easy on your feet and knees, though, and when you’re my age, which is 82, that is important.

I need to do something different, though, because my body is adjusting to what I’ve been doing. And it’s the exact wrong time to do this – the Holiday Season!  What a choice, huh? Literally work my ass off, or skip eating the pornucopia of food that is about to drop on this mutha.

But enough about me.  This blog is about YOU! It’s for you by me. Yesterday I did a little thing where I went back in time *wink wink*, and I said good things happened to you all. Put it in the comments below – what good things happened to you yesterday, as predicted by yours truly. Not including getting to read one of my blog posts, of course. That goes without saying. So don’t say it. I’m warning you! Them’s fighting words! And poor grammar! *yawn* Just let me know.

Man, there’s another slow asshole. I hate slow assholes. Because… I was going to say something gross, but I won’t. I will spare you all the details of some kind of colon pushing out fecal – oops, sorry. They’re going 55 miles an hour. Why? There’s always someone that’s like “oh, I just got this car. And I just got Lasik and everything’s coming at me so fast!” But whatever, OMG. I think I can get over now and pass this fucking asshole.

Hey, turned out to be a woman. Insert your gender-based humor here. Because I sure won’t do it. I think women are excellent drivers, and you should be ashamed of yourself,  you fucking misogynist! You know what else women do really well? They make sandwiches! Just kidding. Jeez.

I need to get new windshield wipers. Maybe I should get a sign and stand at the highway exit. “My kids can’t see out the windshield – please help!” Sorry, I shouldn’t mock people in times of need. What is my problem with mocking people today? I’m such a jerk, as I line up 3 miles from my work. And I …. yes… I have stopped. I am on the highway, and I have stopped.  I have come to a complete stop. I’m stopping.

I’ve talked about this before, but there’s someone in front of me with an Obama ’08 bumper sticker. That’s why you don’t put political bumper stickers on your car. Unless they’re going to buy a “12″ to cover it up, it’s dated. Just put a sign in the back of the car windshield. What’s the resale value of a car with a bumper sticker on it? It will inspire hatred in half the population! For no reason, of course. But still. I promised myself that I wouldn’t cover political or religious topics on this blog, and I’ve pretty much stuck to that. But I will say that the Republicans are going to have trouble this time out. With scandals. Ha ha!

The trees are almost completely bare. They’re like a bunch of dirty fingers sticking up. I feel strange right now. My throat is so scratchy and my ears are stuffy. I am going to stop talking, and leave the radio off, and just listen to the sound of my heater and stay warm. I’m getting lulled into a false sense of security here, and I like it. Ahhhhhhhhhhh…..

Twilight Euphoria

Twilight Euphoria

Broke out of my shell today
Right side of the bed today
Nothing that I can say
I’m just thankful for how you made me feel
Look up at the sky and sigh
Haven’t felt this for a while
The clouds that I walk on
Are white but they’re turning gray

And I feel hate
I’m going underground again
Can’t help but remember pain
It’s over but can it ever be over
Can I just let it go

I want this
I want it to last
Have what we should have had
All along

Woke up to look at you
Even sleeping you’re deliciously dangerous
I want us to continue
I give you my heart eternally
Happiness is not that far away
We can make it in an afternoon
My euphoria morning
I keep forgetting
The sun is setting

I feel rage
I’m going underground again
Can’t help but remember the past
It’s over but can it ever be over
Can I just let it go

I want this
I want it to last
Have what we should have had
All along

Up and down
Not much difference between us
Only the difference between fight and flight
Only the difference between passion and lust
Only the difference between want and need
Only the difference between now and then
