Hey its a new record !!

I just noticed that if I post another blog entry for the month of may it will be a personal record for monthly output! This is a great achievement and should thrill the throngs of followers I have waiting for my next posting. Well maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, my followers number -4, do not ask me how you get a minus statistic in the category of followers, but I have it, trust me.

If someone actually left a comment, I would be so shocked I would think that I was a date in the Mayan calendar! I even invited friends and family to read my blog and none bothered to use the bandwidth to see what I have to say. I mean can I actually be that bad a writer, am I that uninteresting that no one on the entire internet would bother to read my output? I probably should have named my blog, Naked pictures here! then maybe I would get some comments like, "Wheres the naked pictures dude", and " No fair man, you said there was naked pictures here", and "False advertising you jerk!" it may not be much but at least I would not be so lonely.

Then again perhaps my offerings are so profound, so interesting and thought provoking that once read, people go away to a distant mountain top secluded from all distractions, to contemplate what they have just ingested and try to formulate their lives according to what they have read here.  They were probably so enraptured with what they gathered here that they lost all will to live amongst anything that would distract them form my message, then again, maybe not.

 On the odd chance that you happen upon my blog and see anything that you like, or maybe that entertains you, heck even if it annoys you leave a comment and tell me how you feel. Just FYI, I feel with my finfertips, it works for me.

Rain, rain go away...

Working outdoors is an honorable profession. It is the staple of progress, building new structures, laying roads, clearing lands etc. are all undertakings of those who work outdoors. I am a coatings contractor, most of my work is exterior and this rain is killing me, even worse than the poor economy has been killing me. I use the term " killing me " not lightly, rather its an accurate description of the process that occurs when one is robbed of his livelihood by either an inept (hopefully) President or an occurence of nature such as this miserable rain we have endured for the past month here in central Ohio. For example, I get no exercise setting home and due to limited funds I wind up eating cheap fast foods, clogging up whatever remaining arterial pathways I have left to ferry needed blood to my various extremities.

Then there is the worry about how I am going to pay my bills, to provide for my family, to put food on the table, and the worry about how this is affecting their health. Worry is a killer by itself, I am a Catholic christian and I know I should trust in God and beleive that He will see me through these hard times, yet I think of how long it took his chosen people to be set free, and the years they spent wandering the desert and realize that I am not that patient. Thank you God for being merciful as I fail in every test that is set before me. I guess if were not to worry about such things I would, in my mind, be a bad parent afterall God gave me this family along with freewill and I choose to try to be the best parent/provider that I can be and this combo of economy and weather are just killing me.

Although there is a bright side, pretty soon the stress and the bad diet and my advancing age will catch up with me and I will die (hopefully) because if I get some protracted illness that costs me money or further burdens my family I would rather be dead. Nobody ever promised that life was fair and I have made many bad choices so I am not blaming God, I know its my fault and if I were God I would ignore my prayers too, although I would probably smite a few people in charge of things at this time.

I would look at the world and say, America is in awful shape financially and their President wants to spend $ 1.7 trillion dollars? smite time for you. There is a religion that is killing people who do not convert to their beliefs in how I should be worshipped knowing that I allow them freewill, smite time for all of you! There are dictators getting fat off of the produce of those who they rule while those very producers suffer from starvation, smite time. People are killing my creations through many avenues such as abortion of the yet born, wars and genocide, conversely the same thing, fools its smite time.

That is exactly why I am not God, by the time I finished smiting all the scum most of my creation would be , well, smited. I would smite those who buy fancy jewelry while there is still one person who wants for food or shelter, that would be the end of my people.

Perhaps its a good thing I am an exterior contractor, all I can do is smite my self and my family. So here I sit singing to myself , rain, rain go away, little eddie wants to work today, you see he has loads of bills to pay! , over and over again, reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in the movie The Shining. Its a good thing I do not have access to an axe......

The loneliest blog on the internet.

I always believed if you are going to do something do it well! When I decided to write a blog I hoped for about 2.6 million followers waiting on pins and needles for the next ramblings to spurt forth from my troubled mind. Now as I realize that I am about the only one to read my blog, seriously, I believe I have a -4 in the follower column statistic I have come to embrace the fact that I have the worst blog on the entire internet!

That has to be worth something, if you think about it there are at least seventy kajillion users of the worldwide net, amazingly thats the same number that President Obama wants to spend in U.S. dollars in the next budget, but with that many people on the net and who knows for sure how many have had or currently do have blogs right now that means I am the best at being the worst blogger in the entire world.

Taken at face value this may not seem like much of an accomplishment, but in these days of less than stellar accomplishments being awarded,  I should get a four foot tall solid platinum gold plated trophy encrusted with precious gemstones. I mean if the loser baseball team gets a participation trophy for just losing, being the worst in the whole world is a rare and commendable feat only reachable by one person, and that person is me.

So eat your heart out all you entrepreneurs and sports figures who have reached the pinnacle of your chosen endeavors through hard work and dedication, hell I am the worst in the whole world and I only blog about once a month and put no real thought into what I am going to write until I set in front of the old puter and bring up this site. Hows that for talent, makes you wish you set back and took it easy, suckers.
