Miley

Just saw Miley Cyrus perform on American Idol. Didn't care for it. Vocals were off. I thought she was attempting to put too much emotion in the song. Too much of that vocal quiver.

In other news . . . it's hump day! Two more day's to go. I owe the feds a few hundred dollars for taxes. Don't know what happened this year. I almost always get a couple hundred dollars back and if I owe, it's just a bit.

Eating dinner now and it is time for desert! Cheers.

Win Money

Here is the feel good sales pitch for a local Indian Casino:

You can win on any machine,
At any time,
On any spin.

Makes it sound like your odds of winning good. Sounds like gambling to me.

Tired

Haven't slept well in three nights now.

Night 1) Thursday night was a gym night, got home late, thus bed late. Friday's a work day.
Night 2) Friday - hit the sack about midnight, slept off and on, and woke up about 7.
Night 3) Saturday - Allergies or something. Couldn't breath and eye's ached.

I'm functioning at the moment, but just barely.

Thoughts - part 2

1) Boy, the Olympics are over! Life can get back to normal again.

2) Why is it (in Western society) that when the husband of a couple cheats on his wife, it is deemed, if not expected, that the wife work to forgive and reconvene a happy marriage. While if the wife has the extramarital affair, the husband is in now way expected to forgive and by most accounts, the marriage usually ends. In both cases though, the men still manage to come out ahead.

3) From a couple of weeks ago on the Sunday morning news program Face the Nation, Bob Schieffer's closing commentary was on the bottlenecks that prevent our representatives in congress from getting any work done. His argument was the following: it takes a lot of money to get elected. On average, elected officials spend about $3500 per day (that's right, per day) while on the campaign trail. So when it comes to doing the job, instead of doing what is morally right, they are are bound to abide the wishes of those who put them there (financially).
