Confessional........

Talk about a smoke screen. I sure hope people don't let this ruse take their minds off the real obscenity. Say ten Hail Marys and go straight to hell.

While I'm ranting, with all due respect to my American friends that stop by here, I'm tired of US leaders thinking they're in charge of the world. Initially I thought it was just G.W. forgetting his happy pills. However, John Kerry seems to be of the same opinion and I quote....."we have it in our power to change the world again". This egocentric attitude my friends, is why a lot of the world is not enamoured with America. Personally, I neither asked you to nor do I want you, changing the world. In fact, I'm not overly impressed with how you've done in your own back yard.

I suppose in all fairness when you equate economic growth with a successful society, and you're dependent on other countries' resources to sustain that economy, it's a natural tendency to want control........
"We value an America that controls its own destiny because it's finally and forever independent of Mideast oil. What does it mean for our economy and our national security when we only have three percent of the world's oil reserves, yet we rely on foreign countries for fifty-three percent of what we consume? I want an America that relies on its own ingenuity and innovation not the Saudi royal family.", John Kerry, DNC speech......
I'm confused. He's saying that you only have three percent of the world's oil, yet he doesn't want to be dependent on the Middle East. Does this mean he'd rather rely on some other part of the world for oil, or is he suggesting the use of your ingenuity and innovation military to take over yet more countries in the Mideast? He surely doesn't mean you should move away from an oil dependent economy. I mean if he's that progressive he might find it easier to just try and get along with all these countries instead of using bullying tactics. Now there's an ingenious and innovative concept the world might actually support.

Inspiration....

I'm as guilty as the next person of whigning too much. Then a story like this one comes along and reminds me just how fortunate I really am.

We have a house guest this week and she brought her parrot. I like the wolf whistles and laughter when I walk past his/her cage. I wonder what my hens would think if I got an indoor bird. I may be turning into one of those animal people.

I have seen the future, and it isn't pretty....

Forget the big one, global warming or an asteroid. The longer I live the more I believe man's stupidity will be our armageddon.

Conversation with my long legged blonde while watching a vignette on the Knowledge Network about elderly people falling and things they can do to prevent these falls....

LLB.. I wish my parent's were watching this
RR... but they don't think of themselves as being old, none of us do...I'm pushing fifty and when I see someone my age I think of them as being much older than I am
LLB.. when I see someone 30 I think of them as being much older than I am

Kristie expressed an interest in hearing the story, ahem, behind my tattoo. I'd like to say it was during a sinful weekend with a Vegas showgirl, or that layover in Singapore during my stint with the merchant marine, but truth be told, it was nothing so exciting. I had it done a number of years ago while my LLB was away working for two months. Missing her and realising how much she meant to me, I wanted to do something special to convey this to her. I know, you're the women are all thinking diamonds have a nice expressive quality but hey, I'm a guy. She was suitably impressed by the way and still coos when I flaunt it. Anti-climactic, but there you have it. More than you ever wanted to know about the art on my butt.

Random musings.......

I have a new entry over at homewreckers.

I found out last evening that Jimmy Fallon is leaving Saturday Night Live. This means of course that they'll be looking for someone to sit next to Tina Fey (le sigh) on Weekend Update. However, I'll just have to continue fantasizing dreaming about her instead. Even if I was funny, she'd have me stammering like a teenager.

I had a colonoscopy on Friday. If you have to ask, then you don't want to know. Suffice to say that what your momma gave ya, is on view to everyone but her. As I contemplated the pros and cons of the situation while the room got dizzy, my last thought was to wonder if the nurses would be discussing who's name that was and under what circumstances it came to be tattooed on my ass.

Here's the latest equation I've learned study math this summer. My motivation to do the work is directly proportional to the amount of time left until my next exam.

Hi, I'm Tina Fey......and I'm Rockinronnie, and here are tonight's top stories.
British Columbia economy in a slump.
Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
