• Gloom, despair, and agony on me.
  Deep dark depression, excessive misery.
  If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
  Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

  
  

  Seems to be my theme song at the time.  Must be the duldrums!

  
  

  Yesterday & Today

  
  

  I stepped off a step yesterday and felt a sting in the back of my left knee.  It was a twinge of pain that was just bearly noticable.  This morning, I can't walk and my knee (the metal one) is twice the size of the other one.  Good morning!  Yeah!

  
  

  Matt

  
  

  Matt went back to work today.  It's a 5 hour day to get him broke back in to working.  But that's good.  After his brain surgery, he had a lot of fatigue, but that was expected.  Now, he's getting back on his feet and getting out there.  He works so hard, and yet most of his money goes to the doctors and hospitals.  With no insurance, it's really rough.  His bill, so far, is in excess of $130k.  I wish there was a way to get that paid, other than burdening Matt until he lives to be 187 ('cause that's how long it's going to take him to pay it off).  BTW, if you have ideas of ways to raise money for him or something like that, let me know.

  
  

  
  

  Election

  
  

  I've been asked a couple of times about who I'm voting for.  Some people are very bosterious about asking, and I haven't responded much because I don't want to offend anyone.  However, I noticed that a lot of people I talk to don't care if I'm offended.  Yes, I will vote.

  
  

  If I tell you that I'm Republican, then you will say that I'm "this way, or that way, or I believe this or that".  You can say that, but you don't know that.  You'll only be able to tell how I am, or what I believe, when you directly talk to me or read what I say.  Don't classify me by what you think you know about others in the same group.

  
  

  For a shock treatment (probably only to me), here's some groups that I'm a member of, or support.  This list will not inform you to how I believe on all issues, and I don't always agree with the other members of that group. 

  
  

  
  
  • 
    
    Dinosaur (would have to read way back to know or even understand that)
    
    
  • 
    
    Xangan (obviously)
    
    
  • 
    
    Independent Baptist (interesting so far?)
    
    
  • 
    
    Pro-life (you might have guessed that one from past reading)
    
    
  • 
    
    Independent Business Owner (well, my hunni is and she's the boss, hehe)
    
    
  • 
    
    Republican (just changed to that about 4 months ago)
    
    
  • 
    
    FOP - Friends of Police
    
    
  • 
    
    NRA - National Rifle Association (anyone raising eyebrows?)
    
    
  • 
    
    Buckmasters
    
    
  • 
    
    Total Body Health & Wellness Ring
    
    
  • 
    
    Tang So Doo, Moo Duk Kwan Academy
    
    
  • 
    
    Disabled Americans
    
    
  • 
    
    Officials (as in volleyball, basketball, ju jitsu, etc.)
    
    
  • 
    
    And other things, but my thinker doesn't know what else to put.

  
  

  Okay, so the question is: Do you think you actually know all about me from that list?  If you answer yes, then you must assume that I'm kinda' shallow and don't have thoughts of my own.  If you said no, then I agree with you because those organizations or associations do not make me what I am even though they may be a part of what I am.  Understand?

  
  

  I'm not going into all the ones I'm voting for tomorrow, but I'm voting for Bush for President.  If there is one issue that would make me vote for him over Kerry, it's the abortion issue.  I'm very much for life, especially that life that starts at conception.  But there are also other issues and Kerry's stand is so different from mine for the most part that it actually scares me that he could be President.  But that's just me!

  
  

  Well, that's as radical as I care to be today.  Maybe I'll tell you more about the inner workings of me someday.  Maybe I won't.
