Another Year Older...

As my birthday approaches (this Friday) and 2010 comes to an end I thought I might put some of my random thoughts on the internet for posterity's sake. You might view these as the rantings of a lunatic, and maybe I can't argue, but I hope they'll give you something to think about and maybe a few laughs.

• I don't see how anyone who has kids can get anything done. Kids are great and all, but they sure do take a lot of time and effort to raise them right.
• I can't see how anyone who lives in a 'unique fixer upper' can stay on top of the house repairs. And if you happen to have children too, well, you probably have about fifteen minutes a week for yourself.
• The bigger the government agency, the more likely they are to be pain in the ass.
• Cable and satellite television are great, but they are often more trouble than they're worth.
• The only thing you can control is your attitude, unless you're a pilot, then you can also control your altitude.
• You should concentrate on your strengths and try to get someone else to take care of your weaknesses, preferably for free.
• If you can wait tables and tend bar you will always be able to find work. If you can also cook then you're in better demand.
• An artist who uses a lot of big fancy words when discussing his work probably isn't much of an artist.
• People will buy anything if they think it will make them cool.
• Don't look back, something might be gaining on you.
• Do not play, don't give the game away.
• Have fun everyday.
• Enjoy the company of your friends and family, they won't be around forever and neither will you. Enjoy alone time too.
• Almost everyone has a blog, but I'll wager ninety percent of them haven't been updated in the past six months.
• I like country music, but most of what passes for country these days isn't what I'd call country. It sounds a lot like '70's pop music.
• I also enjoy pro wrestling, but what they call wrestling now is more like a soap opera than wrestling. I wish it were like it was back in the days of the territories

I could probably go on for a while longer, but I really need to get busy. I'm a dad who lives in a fixer-upper, I don't have time to rant and rave all day. Now, when I was a kid...
