This is really annoying!!

It has been a long time since I posted I know so I went in and typed up this lengthy diatribe on my life and all that is happening right now and POOF it went away when I went to get a link to another webpage to share. Now I am really miffed since I can only be clever once on any given subject and now it will just sound like boring rhetoric when I say it again but I will give it a go.

A lot has happened since I last posted. In this current economy I was unable to find a job suiting my rather meager skills, well that is not entirely true, there was the one but I would have to carry a gun again and go to Afghanistan, I politely declined to say the least. So I need to do something else to fill the time, school seemed like a reasonably good idea so last month I started at MEDVANCE Institute in their X-Ray tech program. I will graduate in 2 years and hopefully be marketable again. Life will suck for the next 2 years though. They manage to cram 88 hours into 2 years so not many breaks over a day in length but I like it and the kids, and I do mean KIDS in my class are nice to the couple of old folks in the class.

Unfortunatley school means no trips on the scooter anytime soon but when I am done I will be going on a long one, probably the TransAmerica trail. It should take something like 6 weeks if my reckoning is correct. So instead I have broken the mountain bike back out and am riding some with my brother Charley. He is an animal, a much better rider and a whole lot more fit but he is nice enough to wait for me when we do occassionally ride together. If you want to read a very interesting account of a 24 hour mountain bike race he did then give this page a looksee:

I was going to get into a whole rant about the bailouts and politics but frankly I have no faith in any of it any more. All I know is that the founding fathers put the 2nd ammendment in the Constitution because they had the wisdom to forsee that what had happened before could happen again and that at some point we would need to protect ourself from the government gone wild. For anyone that thinks that the President-Elect is going to bring about his 'Change' you are naive beyond belief, he is a politician like all of them. He is not even in office yet and he has scandals hanging over his head. Someone recently said to me we should shoot them all in the head and pile the bodies in the streets so we can start over. It seemed a little excessive at the time but it may be the best option.

Ok, enough for now, remember to 'Be excellent to each Other!'
