not pulling the wool over my eyes

First of all wool itches and when I have had itchy eyes it has not been pleasant so I would fight that with all I had!  I also find it very interesting that the origin of the phrase seemed to have come from the wool wigs that the politicians wore in the 1800’s.  The people thought that they were pulling the wigs (wool) down over their eyes!

Which again the government is talking about how great of a month we have had, home sales are up, the economy is up!  I guess I should just let them pull the wool over my eyes and forget the fact that they just gave out $4500 to a lot of people who actually never saw it, essentially the government just put 3 billion back into the economy not counting the loans for all those cars…  Really we had a good month and it looks like we will pull through!

Oh well I guess positive news is what we need – on a negative side unemployment has risen again this past month and the economy went up?  Other good news is a guy a know held a really expensive dinner to pay for an Africa trip to feed starving children – right I know makes the same sense.  Just cover your eyes and begin to scratch!

in defense of college students

Ok so I know that this goes against most peoples rules!  I am standing to fight for college students everywhere about the rules of having to go to class!  This is a classic example of too much power in the hands of professors.

Now I have paid money for lots of different things in my life!

1. groceries
2. lawnmower
3. books
4. house
5. car
6. dog
7. dog

Now when I pay for these things out of my hard earned money I get to choose what I want to do with them.  If i wanted to park my car in my house and let my dog sleep in it I could!  If I want my dog to put my groceries away for me I can (now where he puts them may not be where I want)

I guess maybe I missed the point somewhere along the way, but when college students pay money for college they do not get to choose what they do with the class, they have to show up! If they do not show up some professor who has too much power says I am in charge with your money and I get to make the decisions for you!

So I suggest that all of us picket college classes saying “LET STUDENTS SKIP CLASSES – LET STUDENTS SKIP CLASSES”   Who is with me!!

to do lists

every year I always rethink what I am doing and there is always a flood of things that I really think that I should be doing (jobs)

Here is my list of jobs that I think I could do and a few that for some reason my wife says “you should obviously be a ….  you know more than they do”

1. When Letterman retires I think I could do the show – Jimmy Fallon does it and Jay Leno did..  nevermind
2. NFL referee – ok that is one Stacy says I should do
3. Morning talk show host on radio – face for radio thing
4. Fireman – ok actually trying this next year
5. Teacher / Coach

Ok thats my top 5 jobs – wait the one I’m actually doing is not in there – what???

back for good

ok so normally I do some complaining or something like that and no longer…

time to state the facts and the fun and leave it at that.

FACTS:

I really enjoy my job on Young Life staff

I really struggle with raising money

My wife is amazing

animal conspiracy

So maybe you knew this – i however did not.  There are 15,000 primates living as pets in the United States.  Now you can compare that to 50 million dogs and 60 million cats living in households.

First of all where do you get a primate, local monkey store? 

Second how are we defining primate, my brothers kids can sometimes be described as primates the way they climb all over things….

Reminds me of a good quote from tombstone.  ”Christ almighty its like I’m sitting here playing cards with my brother’s kids or something, nerve racking son’s of bitc***”  

So if you are looking to buy a primate check out these sellers.
