Healthcare, Bend over and say "AHHHH"!
Who knows what was going through my head this day. Suffice it to say something about the debate in the Supreme Court over the healthcare bill. Here's an idea, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for yourself."

Kardashian's Butt Crashed My Computer
Okay, I promise this is the last of my surreptitious attempts to lure clicks to my blog by using titles and labels that are on search engine's top most searched list. Butt I can't help butt make one more comment. I had to do a search to figure out, what the hell did this Kim Kardashian do prior to becoming a "reality" celebrity. The low down...she FUCKED her way to the front page. Yea. The daughter of an attorney in LA. She married some rapper, made a sex video, it got released to world, she sued and won $5 million. Well there ya go. I shared this with my wife, yea she's not willing to go there with me. So I guess I'm stuck in the realm of the unknown.

Kim Kardashian! Hey! Stop Wasting Other People's Time
Kim Kardashian Attacked by Flour Bomb...really this is the top Google search. It is still beyond me. Then the rest of the trends: Chipper Jones, Matt Forte, Josh Johnson, Marquette, Whitney Houston, Al Sharpton, Hunger Games, NCAA then number 11 Romney Etcha Sketch, then the balance of the top are more Hollywood and Sports. Mindlessness is fine, I understand the need, but even then it is amazing out of the whole population that could be searching for info on the internet, that obviously the vast majority have little to no concern over government, politics, economy, self improvement, expansion of knowledge, learning. I went through a phase right out of college where if I was going to allocate any time to reading it was going to be something that would expand my knowledge. I just couldn't embrace the idea of reading for pure pleasure. It was about time and use of time. I guess that I why I'm perceived as such an uptight, robotic individual. I am a bit curious how many flies I catch by incorporating the top trend words in my label and title (I'm so evil...Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!!!)

My Teen Was Still Born
I was born the last month of the last year of what is considered to be the baby boom birth years 1945-1963, so everyone I knew was older than me. Looking at it from this perspective it makes perfect sense that I identify more with older people, especially those about 10 years older than I do with those 10 years younger. What this created was a situation, when I was a teen everything was about those boomers, and their successes in business and their newly found power of consumption, that shaped me. I had a subscriptions to Business Week and the WSJ, when I should of had a subscription to Playboy and Mad. When I should of been gallivanting the globe on a dollar a day, I was consumed with reading about real estate and marketing, trying to figure how I was going to make my first million.
I was so devastated when I turned 29 because I wasn't a millionaire it easily ranks as my worst birthday. Now I'm stuck. Approaching middle age. Those older than me are becoming irrelevant, as social movers and trend setters that really matter. Yes I know they are setting their on trends as they redefine what it means to be retired, but I doubt they are going to be the driving force behind the adoption of a comic strip, like they were so instrumental; (timing was everything here), for strips like Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, Doonesbury, and even Farside. I don't understand the younger set, I've never been younger. My whole life has been like chasing a shadow, or as I've said many times before: I've been paddling like hell to catch the wave the boomers have been surfing their whole life, and I won't reach it until it smashes on the shore.

Texting With Aliens
Oh shout out to my first follower...Hello Jimbo!!!!
I've had a slight fascination with large black areas lately. This just evolved out of that and don't know what it means. Guess you could say it plays to the fear of online relationships, you really never know what is on the other end.
