Cchhhannnggeesss!!!! Rants and Raves Among Other Things

October? Really? That's the last time I blogged? Bad blogger, but that seems to be par for the course with this blogger.  I will cover various topics within this little bloggity blog and I'm full of Chobani and coffee this morning. 

RELOCATION

Yes, we've decided to move, not to another state, or city even really, but to suburbia. So now I'll be the working, blogging, mother of suburbia. We're moving into a subdivision; which will be a whole new experience, as there are rules, and committees, and block parties. I will for sure belly up for a block party, but committees and party planning and all that foofy stuff?  Count me out. I understand the reason behind the subdivision governance, but I can only assume that their rules and regulations will irritate me somehow. Oh the pessimism! I think I'll just hide and drink wine in my new jacuzzi tub and peer at fellow subdivisionians from the window. A sort of Boo Radley of the new suburban subdivisions.....

PINTEREST

Ok, seriously people? Do we really need another social media time suck? I'm addicted. I love the humorous quips and sarcastic things that are all over this site. Some of my favorites are:


I'm sure I'll find some other insane silliness to repost to this blog.  There are some pretty funny and offensive things out there. Although I will refrain from the offensive.

RUNNING

Yes, back at it AGAIN! Running a half marathon in May.  I was training like a freak, doing well, running hard, until the relocation (see first section of this blog). I'm in a lull currently as I'm busy building my upper body moving an insane amount of boxes to and fro. Who knew we even owned this much....stuff?  I will leave you with this vision of my running and how the people at the gym must feel when I hit the treadmills...


MUSIC

I have been listening to this gentlemen over and over again. You must check him out...

Someone That I Used to Know
LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy. He's got some raw talent and raw emotion.


POLITICS

Oh no, you didn't think I was going to launch into a long dissertation of the state of our country did you? Not my thing, although we may all be heading for the hills come election time.  No no, I'm writing about the internal politics of business in America today. It's amazing to me what a dog eat dog world we're in. What people do to get a leg up in the corporate rat race.  Desperate men do desperate things...I could go on.  I am saddened by the desperate attempts by people, specifically in this case, men to squash all things they deem "competition."  It's actually an interesting study of evolution if you think about it. I was engaged for a while in this illusion for a while, but now I've resigned myself to just sit back and watch them continue to hang themselves on their "perceived" successes.  Wow, such a Debbie Downer of an end to an entry huh? Well, to help us all buck up, I'll leave you with this....



Yesssssss........Have a good February all. I'll be back more frequently now that I've got a jacuzzi tub and some wine.
