the long ramble

in defense of Britney…

Posted on September 19, 2007. Filed under: political tomfoolery, the long ramble |

All I did was respond…that her performance seemed mediocre & she looked a bit buzzed.
But, that the performance wasn’t horrible like everyone keeps saying.
(To be fair, I’ve always defended some of Britney’s music. And, have always been told by wifeybot that I defend any young woman, wearing risque clothing, shaking her booty.
Which is true, sort of. [...]

bated breath & Seth

Well, it would appear all people involved with the financial community around the world, as well as business owners, etc… and possibly many others … are anxiously awaiting Ben Bernanke taking the podium.  This is the Federal Reserve chairman’s first big test since taking office,…and it’s pretty big.  Will stock and/or bond markets get hammered?  [...]

trickier than a turd in a briefcase?

Posted on September 17, 2007. Filed under: financial babble, the long ramble |

Tomorrow (Tuesday) 2 p.m. New York time…. 11 a.m., Tucson time. (should be an interesting moment) On CNBC.
It’ll be the first Fed cut of interest rates in years.  They’re forced to because a bunch of  Americans got swindled, & then a whole bunch of so-called smart finance guys around the world got swindled into buying junk [...]

Am I just spinnin’ my own wheels?

Posted on September 14, 2007. Filed under: financial babble, political tomfoolery, the long ramble |

…and I don’t mean like the cool spinnin’ rims on “Cribs” and “Pimp My Ride.”
As I speak in metaphor, mine are sort of squeaking; and only perhaps 3 of the 4 are spinning in the same direction.
Anyway.
My kids are home today in solidarity with a city-wide Tucson teachers’ strike
(aka “sick out”,…or whatever one might call it.) 
Over [...]

she had to say Hitchens

Why not just poke a bear in the belly button with a javelin?
 …Not a good way to start a conversation first thing in the morning. 
She being wifeybot.
And, of course, she is loving the new book by Sir Christopher Dipwad.  Cuz it’s all about how there is no God, and believers are stupid, and behind all wars, [...]

um, er,…

…buzzed again. Like I’m being dive-bombed by a bumblebee.
It was nice to speak with Alice (although quite briefly) on the Sam Seder Show blog last night.
I sure don’t know how the folks there can keep up with the news & conspiracies & hypocrisies & etc…without being totally bummed out. I know I tried for the [...]

it’d be nice to have a good day

Posted on August 18, 2007. Filed under: financial babble, the long ramble |

…you’d think all the studying I’ve done about how to manage my thoughts, etc,…would have led me to some sort of progress.  I almost had a good, smooth day…the day before yesterday,…except I think part of it was delusional because I was so probably noticeably wasted.  Not sure.   Well, I tried to post some positive [...]

food, sleep, drugs & sex.  …with the radio on.  (roadrunner, roadrunner)
Well, I’m not sure how many noticed but,…last week was a rough week for Wall Street & investors,…unless you bet on things turning to shit.  Then it was golden for you.  I wonder what will happen on Monday,…as in when it gets light out.  Could [...]

Crossin’ the border today,…

Posted on July 13, 2007. Filed under: financial babble, political tomfoolery, the long ramble |

…it looks like.  Nogales, Mexico.   Gettin’ a variety of meds for the family.   No smuggling V’s today, though.  V’s as in valium. I’m not up for the extra anxiety, and probably don’t really need any.  Got a few stashed for emergencies, anyway.  Besides, they’re not much fun without adding alcohol, anyway.  And, I’m still on the wagon.  [...]

I gotta stop drinking…

Posted on July 12, 2007. Filed under: financial babble, political tomfoolery, the long ramble |

Well,…it’s official.  I’m gonna quit drinking.  How many times have I said it?  I’d need a fancy calculator to add it up.  Regardless…  I’m gettin’ too old to feel like crap.  Like I felt last night and this morning.  Gotta just stick to smoke.  I don’t really even like beer that much,…but by that third [...]
