it’s all the rage!

okay... so... it's become very "the clear" i mean clear, that a lot more athletes used steroids than orginally thought... the latest... marion jones... the gold medal olympic winner admitted she lied to federal agents the other day because she told them she did not take steroids... but she did... i could ramble on like everyone else in this world about how horrible this is... about how doping and steroid use degrades the integrity of the games... yada, yada, yada... etc., etc., etc... but i won't... why? because i don't care... in fact... i fully endorse professional athletes to use performance enhancing drugs... doping... whatever... i want them to go faster... be stronger... go father... i want my money's worth... i want to see something amazing... if i am going to shell out hundreds of dollars... (even at the olympics)... i expect to get some awesome action... i want entertainment... and i want it anyway you want to serve it up...

have you ever noticed...

have you ever noticed that i will be writting what has the potential of being this great blog posting... it has all the earmarks in the first five to ten sentences or so... it has current events...it has references... educated opinion... it is going somewhere... and then it sort of peters out... it's like my thoughts that have been plaguing me for days subside when the emotion is first relieved... yeah, i really hate that... i don't know... maybe it's just that i had to answer a phone call that drained my... wait, what was i talking about?

in doubt about the drought

water! water! everywhere, but not a drop to drink... that was how it was in florida... whenever there was a drought, not as many people took it seriously because the place is surrounded by water... and for those people who did take it seriously... like me... was still comforted by the fact that there was salt water around to where if things got really bad, we could always build a desalination plant and take the salt out of the water... pricey, but it would be a good fall back... here in georgia, we got lakes... fresh water lakes... and in those fresh water lakes, there's not much water... and these lakes don't just service the metro atlanta area... oh, no... they feed into rivers that flow to alabama and florida... so, it's not just people turning on their taps here that's doing it... but the problem and big difference between a drought in florida and a drought here is... well, there's no real options... truck water in... that's about it... so, the next time you see your punkass neighbors watering their lawns, narc on them... they suck and are only contributing to the blight of society... oh, and when it rains... don't start driving like idiots... i know you haven't seen it in a while, but that's no excuse to go 20 mph on the interstate... for real!

moons over my sputnik

so, japan sent a rocket to the moon... it was unmanned, but still at least they are there... it's a big step for them and all on the biggest step of all, the anniversary of sputnik... it's been hailed as the biggest moon program since nasa's apolo program... which begs the question, why aren't we doing this? what are we doing in our space program? no, really... oooo, we got people in orbit for millions of days on end... look at us... aren't we great... oh, and we sent rovers to mars... and we are drilling into rocks... even if that was like five years ago... oooo... what happened to us? seriously? where and when did our exploration of the universe become so short-sighted that we let the japanese have all the fun? i just think there are big challenges in this universe and we should try some of them... of course, this is where all the skeptics come in and point out that the reason that we aren't sending people back to the moon is because we've never been there in real life... the space program was a hoax... or it was for real, but what we saw was staged because they wanted to hide what we were really doing there... wait! what were we talking about?
