“How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on
treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.”
Oscar Wilde"Nobody buys the newspaper for good news."
Plato (or my dad, I can't remember)
I've taken almost 2 months off from work. It's been wonderful. I am sleeping a little more, eating better, losing a little weight, I've had sex more than expected, and I'm not blogging worth crap.
I could write abot politics, but there are others more eloquent and passionate than I am. I am a frustrated Republican, a closet Libertarian, a fledgling democrat, though at my core I can't accept their whole agenda. So my political ramblings would be diffuse and dismal. I could complain about how Romney, clearly the best businessman in the group, is blowing his chances by being just a bit clueless. Gingritch is interesting as the angry uncle at the family christmas party, but not the guy you want talking to the russians, or, more importantly, the Iranians. Santorum? Well, he just comes across as an over zealous sunday school teacher who hasn't gone sweater shopping since the early 70's. Ron Paul is a brilliant thinker, practical, anti-war, pro-liberty, a real thinking and the only independant candidate in the race, and he doesn't have a chance in hell. Such is american politics.
In my happy (?) state I could write more about religion but that's just as polarizing as politics and i'm not ready to admit all my failings as they stand up against my background of faith. i've talked about it enough to give the impression that I used to be a lot more devout than I am not, but not ready to make a public break with the community. it would be devestating to my wife, my marriage, and my dad, though my brothers and sisters wouldn't care nearly as much as they would have a few years ago. I think live makes us more forgiving as it goes on. We see our own foilables in the mirror more clearly and judge others less harshly. Maybe it's just self justification, butas I see others struggle, I see myelf in them and I forgive and forget more deeply and with less drama.
i could write about IT, government compliance, and security issues, but OH MY HELL!!! Just shoot me if I start doing that, at least on this blog.
I could write about sex, after all, I'm having a bit of an uptick in that department. But my love life is "nice." There are no bruises, few toys, no whips, no +1s, no video, stills, or drawings. We try to get to be early, we snuggle kiss, copulate, laugh a little, and fall quickly asleep, it's nice, but hardly blog-worthy. Granted, the trampoline story was fun.
So what do I work on/ what do I write about? I'm not sure. Tomorros I'll have a FFF piece, i like the challenge of short fiction though I whould be working on my Christmas story, my dragon epic, or my musical, but when there is IM and skype and blogging and blogs, those tend to fall by the wayside.
So we'll see. Stick with me, i can't be happy for long, after all, i'm looking for a job and that means happiness can't last forever.
Have a wonderful Thursday, I'm going to.

It's been said that all the interesting and good writers are tortured individuals. It depends on a readers tastes and outlook on life. For example Sylvia Plath was revered, as was her husband Ted Hughes but a lot of their writings were painful, and not something I enjoyed.
Give me a dose of reality to read and relate to.
I always like when Captain Kirk in one of the movies said "I like my pain, I need my pain, my pain is part of who I am...."
Contentment is boring, but hey... enjoy it while it lasts. :)
Santorum? Well, he just comes across as an over zealous sunday school teacher who hasn't gone sweater shopping since the early 70's.
Best description I've read yet.
Pardon me for saying, but I think I love you! Ha ha ha....
I blog more when I am happy. Or maybe I blog more when I am having really mind blowing orgasms with my Cowboy. (which I might add, I need more of when I get more)
Who am I kidding? I blog when I am horny mostly which is most of the time. If you're constantly horny are you really that happy? I'll ponder that awhile.
I can't wait to see what crazy Republican get the nomination. Maybe If it's Santorum, the Republican National Committee will give him a sizable gift card to upgrade his wardrobe!
btw-you sound happy and that makes me smile (and happy too)
