pagsz's Journal: Ramblings of an Idiot (26th Installment)

Well, would you look at that! It's been a month and a half since my last Ramblings of an Idiot post. Have you missed them?

Anyway, I decided after RoaI (25I) to back off a little bit. My journal was being reduced to an unending series of RoaI. I decided that when I had something to say, I'd dedicate a post to it. That's not to say I wanted to abandon RoaI, not at all. These stupid (not so) little posts can be fun. Just decided that not every post should be one.

Anyway, let's get rolling . . .

1. Work: Looking back at RoaI (24I), I noticed something I felt needed updating. I mentioned that the guy that worked before me quit on August 20. Well, as of October 15, no one had replaced him. That, and the other guy to work mornings worked last over a week ago, on October 6. So the morning has been completely uncovered for a week and a half!
2. Odd Thoughts: This morning, while in the shower, I got the song Nowhere Man by The Beatles stuck in my head (it stayed there for about an hour after). Anyway, I began think of a certain person as the "Nowhere Man" -- our President, George W. Bush.

   He's a real nowhere man
   Sitting in his nowhere land
   Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

   Doesn't have a point of view
   knows not where he's going to
   Isn't he a bit like you and me?
   Nowhere man please listen
   You don't know what you're missing
   Nowhere man, The world is at your command

   He's as blind as he can be
   Just sees what he wants to see
   Nowhere man, can you see me at all
   Nowhere man don't worry
   Take your time, don't hurry
   Leave it all till somebody else
   Lends you a hand
   Ah, la, la, la, la

   Doesn't have a point of view
   knows not where he's going to
   Isn't he a bit like you and me?
   Nowhere man please listen
   You don't know what you're missing
   Nowhere man, The world is at your command
   Ah, la, la, la, la

   He's a real nowhere man
   Sitting in his nowhere land
   Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
   Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
   Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

   Just a thought . . .>

   Sidenote: This is the second time I've posted song lyrics in my journal. How long do you think it will be before the RIAA tries to sue me?

3. Baseball: Well, it's the San Francisco Giants and Anaheim Angels in the World Series. I didn't see that one coming (I didn't even have these two teams in the playoffs). It should be a good series, though. The Angels have been playing great baseball, and we'll get to see what Barry Bonds can do on the biggest stage.

   Prediction: Angels in 7

4. Transportation: On Monday night, I went over to my father's place to catch the Monday night football game. When I left at 12:30, it was just above freezing (35 degrees). So what you say? My car has no heat. It was goddamn cold in that stupid car. I spent the half-hour ride shivering my ass off.

   God I hate my frelling car!

5. Posting: Today was the first day I posted in response to a story, and not just in my journal, in three months! When I first started reading Slashdot, I posted every other day. I guess that was partially because I wanted to see that Karma number keep going up, and up, and up. Now that it's in text form (and already at Excellent), I got nothing to be anal about. That , and I've had a lot less time to peruse Slashdot recently.
