I’m not blogging because with all that is going on in my head, the blog post would never end.

With socialism at best, Marxism at worst, on the horizon I just can’t blog about day to day stuff. It’s too overwhelming.

Back after election day.

Not that it was that hard today, because for some reason I have just been in a BAD mood, but people can really make you have a bad day.

Why do people feel like they have the right to just randomly say things to you that they A) don’t know what they are talking about B) Don’t understand the situation or C) Have no relationship that gives them the right to get in your face?

We attended a football game at my alma mater tonight, and when our team had pretty well sealed the loss, we decided to leave early. It’s chilly, we have a 19 month old kid and because of the concrete bleechers my butt was numb.

Having a numb butt would even make Joel Osteen grumpy, and really.. who’s ever seen him when he wasn’t cheesing for the cameras?

Anyway, the only way out of the stands was to go BESIDE the band section. I get almost to the top and a lady starts making smart remarks to me about needing to show some respect etc, etc because I was “breaking rank” (she was saying I was going through the band section) I explained that after 6 years of marching band and 20 years of my family being in band, I pretty well knew the rules and I didn’t break them. Even if I did, I figure in 2 decades, I’ve probably earned a gimme.

I know that this kind of crap shouldn’t get to me. It’s just an ignorant redneck with an inflated sense of self-importance. It just sucks because I hated high school so badly to begin with, and if you take away the one thing I enjoyed about it (going to football games), why should I continue to show up?

The answer is: I shouldn’t, and I won’t. I’m closing that chapter of my life. In a few years maybe I’ll re-evaluate that position. For now, I realize exactly how wise I was to leave that place in my rear-view mirror 10 years ago and not look back.

Does this not at least raise the question in your mind?”

Well, things here at the ol’ Shack have been pretty busy lately! Some good, some bad but all busy!
I broke down the other night and changed my satellite package BACK to a package with Fox News. I had lost it when I went to the all “HD” pack and it was driving me insane with the upcoming election and economic problems. Thankfully, i’m showing no signs of my Fox News addiction coming back.

Things are going well with the new job. There is still so much to learn but the folks I work with are great and helpful. I really believe I made the right move, and hopefully (barring anyone pulling up with a tour bus offering me a full time music career) I think I will be there for many years.

Well, there hasn’t been much interesting to write about, hence this post is short and not at all witty.
Ya’ll have fun.
