A little bit of everything

Good Afternoon, February 14, 2010!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Haven't paid much attention to writing, because ... I can make excuses from here to eternity but it will not cover the fact that I've been extremely lazy on this front----- and several others. I've let my frustration/guilt/anger/opinion/selfishness/ego/etc. get in the way of things I need to be doing to help me & make my life easier & healthier.

I need to start getting up on a more regular basis & working out, however, since the weather will be getting a touch better & it is staying lighter later, I think Chris & I will start walking in the evenings. He isn't working so I'm sure that the added stress that brings to my psyche isn't helping my insomnia at all. I know I know--- ME ME ME!!! Well yes... ME ME ME!!!

We are going to Cancun in 2 weeks so maybe a week away from work & having some spa treatments & afternoons by the beach will help me get my attitude in shape---- I'm also seeing my therapist again starting next week, & I know she's going to tell me to start writing in my journal again & I should be doing it ---

Now, about these political mechanation that seem to be going on in Washington. Shouldn't take long---
Where were the folks that are NOW screaming about a budget deficit when Dick Cheney stated " Deficits don't matter".... & where were they when this country was spending $10Billion a month on a war---OFF THE BOOKS?

I'm glad we have a deficit as high as it is--- I want each & every Republican to pay MORE than his fair share of taxes considering the RNC/GOP participants have received more than their fair share of representation without taxation!!! They conservative side of the aisle has been more than represented on my tax dollar.

Where are all the 'bailout" haters when their RNC/GOP representatives were stripping regulations that prevent that sort of thing from our laws? If there had been no government intervention, how would that free enterprisey, no governmenty thing be working for ya? Not so good I'd think.

Where were the National Security freaks when it was okay for a man who has no Military experience to be our Commander in Chief if he is a republican, but not okay if he's a democrat?
Where are the horse's butts that said the senate needed to have 60 votes to pass anything, but when the RNC/GOP were in control of at least 2 of the 3 branches of government, the only thing that was needed was 51 votes? Not even reconciliation, just 51 votes?

We, the citizenry of this country, the middle class, used to be smart about our representatives; we paid attention to what they did for our districts. It seems now that our representative are only concerned about the COMPANY/CORPORATION/PAC that can contribute the most $$$ to his/her coffers. I know that I've read the Constitution do believe it starts out,
We, the People, in order to form a more perfect union establish justice, insure domestic tranquility provide for the COMMON good promotes the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity....

Please someone show me where in the rest of the Constitution does it give a Company more influence than me????.........
I don't know, & correct me if I'm wrong but where in the FUCK in that sentence does it say ANYTHING about business??????? Business should not have ANY say in government-- Don't our elected officials get "the best healthcare in the world" & a salary that comes with 5 or 6 raises per year, a starting salary of, at minimum $135,000/year? Is there ANYBODY out there that wouldn't jump at a chance to apply for that job? Maybe that's what it should come to, our Representatives have to be apply to be a candidate--- & no campaign crap---- we have to make an effort to find & interact with them? But there shouldn't be corporate infusions of cash for one candidate over another--- that's just wrong.

And now that the SCOTUS has ruled that Corporations are entitle to the 1st amendment, then when will they start paying the progressive tax that hits all individual Americans? I think I need to write a letter to the IRS? and What about those TAX-EXEMPT entities (churches, civic organizations), now that they can incorporate themselves to exert THEIR right to free speech, when will they start paying Individual taxes on their income?

Am I being obtuse??????????

I realize that 350 million citizens will all have a different view of what this country needs, but wasn't the goal of the Founding Fathers (& NO Myka Brzynski, Abraham Lincoln, was NOT a founding father) that the Majority of both Houses were the governing body & the minority, although listened to for ideas, were just that the MINORITY!!

I'm just saying......

Well, the Olympics are on, & they have been okay so far, it's only the 2nd day--- I'm for watching them!! They remind me of the ones we watched overseas--- Adelaide, Taiwan, Indonesia, New Zealand

I need to get busy & start some spring cleaning-- however, ====== here we go with the procrastination crap again.... I do need to get Chris to get go get prices for our flooring, or go get an estimate from measurements he's taken.. or do what ever it is that men do when they go to replace a floor.... I am going to be getting some boxes from work to store bookshelf items, etc. we are also looking at getting rid of the furniture & getting 2 recliners & a small loveseat, & i need to have the kitchen table repaired... Can someone give me the numbers to the lottery??? LOL LOL LOL no... we need to have new floor(we still aren't together on which kind)...

Work, well, is work. yada yada yada yada yada yada ---- just glad to have a paycheck & health benefits.
But that is part of my frustration/stress/etc.... I need to write down my troubles at work, not blow off that steam where SOMEONE I work with might see it.

Family is good, mostly healthy, & mostly with gainful employment. I try to keep my distance because of my guilt & I know it is unfounded but I feel IT now & then.. very subtle & nothing overt, but just under the surface-- & for the most part, I visit that feeling on myself EVERY DAY!! Maybe my visit with Carole will help... or else she can refer me out further--

I've rambled on long enough--- sorry about not updating this sooner....
