As I get older my chances get slimmer. Do I try to hook up with someone who has baggage or an old tuffy. Or no one at all.
Baggage can happen at most any age. Kids, jealous ex, debt, additions, and various other problems. Old tuffys are another problem. They have protected themselves from baggage. They do not have dependant kids. Don't want anything from anyone. They stand on their own. But unfortunately are the best looking in the best shape.
Tuffys were generally the best looking. Now they are still relativly hot, but still tuff. I guess I just give up!

Naive
Twenty-eight years ago I started hanging out with an older guy that looked like Frank Sinatra and the guy who shot the shotgun from the black Charger in Bullit. He was in Korea so he was quite a bit older. But boy could he pick up girls. Pure Irish. Dressed the best. Courtesy of his girl frends for the most part. As a pallbearer for him in 1996, I must say he was one of the most increadable people I met.
As we worked together we would go out after work. His favorite place was the Sahara Club. Even in the eighties it had a strict dress code. We would usually go there on Saturdays after work. At that time only women had earings and Marines and Navy people had tatoos. They always had some kind of old fashioned band. Almost an orcheastra. The last of the fifties clubs I guess. I knew the owner who was getting up in age at that point. But he never let down his gaurd and let it turn into a trashy place.
You would sit at a table and there was the grandmother, mother and granddaughter sitting together. How cool is that. As the others were dancing and up and about this grandmother said she had something to say to me.
You just do not understand do you. You are naive. You take everything for face value. You think the cop is honest. The mailman is a nice person. People are nice. A lesson for a dumb hick like me. Never really thought of it that way. Her grandaughter lost her life in a traffic accident that niight. Had I not been so naive she may have been with me and alive now. Maybe not. Maybe so.
I would however like to go back in time to the Sahara. I had a 1976 Chysler New Yorker then. Someone stuck a Pabst Blue Ribbin can on the bumper. It rode there for two weeks. I guess those old cars rode well. This was my golden years and I missed out. Now I am just trying to make it

Cruisin' Youtube and Thanks!
First of all I would like to thank my loyal viewers from around the world. Or at least the folks who have stumbled upon this site. Then said this is trash! Oh well I would like to get a following. I have received views from the United States, Russia, Germany, Ukraine, Argentina, Brazil, China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan. Again, thank you.
I would like to step it up a bit with folks from Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, continental Europe, continental Africa, the rest of Asia, and Australia. Every country and hick town. And by the way. Comments would be appreciated. Good or bad.
Well it is the end of the month. Which also means the first of the month is soon. That means rent and bills for us poor folks. So what do you do to keep yourself entertained? I have done laundry, paid bills and cleaned house. Am in the process of making a homemade meal.
As we speak I am listening to the Rolling Stones 1971 Sticky Fingers album on Youtube. When you are broke and are looking for something to do hit Youtube. When there is nothing that I want to watch on TV I punch something up on Youtube. You can find almost anything. I skip the goofy home videos. If I want to watch an old Star Trek episode I can find it. If I want to watch a model train thing I can find it (goofy home videos). Or stuff about history. I stumbled upon the old Coronet educational films from school thinking they would be silly. But still relavent in most cases.
So if it's raining outside. You have all your chores done and are just bored. Hit Youtube. You can even listen to the music while you are doing something else as I am now. Have a pleasant day.

Sick And Tired
My family members and myself have been going through a period of being sick and tired. I normally feel decent and cannot stand just laying around. But for the last several months my energy is zapped. Just to ride a bike to work. Work a shift and ride home pretty much does me in. I have not stayed up late. Sleep about eight hours. Still no zip.
It has gotten to the point that I have a lot of nausea and diarhea. Ice cream and cereal give me heartburn. I have basically stopped drinking alchohol. When I do I really pay for it. Still smoking. Have to quit that soon. It is really dragging on me now. Some people I know have had good luck with the electric thing. Guess I need to try it.
My left leg and foot give me great pain a few times daily. I thought it was gout. Person I work with had a blood clot with the same pain. It could be so many things that it is confusing. Been taking Advil and Aleeve so long I have probably burnt a hole in my stomach. Taking vitamins and such. Has helped some. Of course it doesn't help that my feet get soaking wet every night. Everybody works pretty hard where I work as the job is demanding physically and mentally.Wouldn't think so at a grocery store.
And then we have HAL 9000. Its trade name has changed since 1968, but it is the same. It tries to micro-manage the workers time and shifts. It gives some of us these twelve hour shifts with a half hour break an hour after you start. Or it may give you a break eight hours into your shift. People with a shift from five till nine may get an hour break during the rush of dinner which totally eliminates their being there for the rush. Part time people do not want to work on weekends or nights. The whole thing is a mess. Upper management is convinced its great. I guess their boss says it's great. And whoever bought the bill of goods says it's great because they got ripped off on this multi-million dollar dud.
It is however killing off the full time workers (perhaps the main mission) so they can be replaced with government supplimented part time workers. HAL has polished off three of the eight full time workers and is wearing me down too. I will have to make a stand. Even if it means just working and going home and collapsing.

Guess They Don't Like Me In The USA
Most of my recent posts have been read in eastern Europe and Russia. Is this where my following is? If it is it is OK with me. Most Americans are about the most stupid people I have ever seen. And that is from a person that is an American. What is an an American? That has changed over the years. This great country is going downhill. Everybody is tired and broke. We think that we are working hard. But we are not getting nothing done. Everybody should laugh at us. We had it all, but have wasted it away.
Can anybody do anything without their cell phone? It seems to me that people cannot make a move without their cell phone. Can you live without your phone? Walking with their phone. Driving with their phone. I am not that important that I have to commuicate every move with a phone.
