OK OK. Just what actions does a man take to disrespect a woman. I'm doing my post relationship homework and I can't seem to find much of that on the web. I must be very naive. Although I believe that I do treat women well, apparently I use my tongue as a sword to disrespect women. I can recall two instances with C where I unknowingly did this (and trust me, she made sure I knew it!! - and I learned), but apparently, I did it many more times.
Hmmm. More research required.

Sad
Get out your violin . . .
. . . I decided last night to part with my girlfriend of about 7 months. This decision was not an easy one, nor was it decided in haste. I care for her immensely, but something was just not clicking for me. Unfortunate because she liked me very much.
Since I have been in few relationships, I never would have realized going through this process would be so sad and painful. This coming from someone with a caring and sympathetic heart.
At this point, the house feels empty even though she only came over a few times. I mostly went over to her place for various reasons. My birthday is around the corner and she actively spoke about plans for that day. There goes that surprise. And there goes the trip to Kansas to visit her older daughter.
What did she have going for her? Outgoing, smiling almost constantly, very caring, good cook, active, and manages money well. On the negative side . . . I'll leave that open ended. I'll simply say it was a number of things that I could not specifically put my finger on.
It is amazing that once you open your lips, you all of a sudden start to ponder what kind of mistake you are making - even though you think you gave that plenty of consideration in making your decision to part.
To C, if you should ever read this, know that I do care for you and know the decision to part was not an easy one. You will make a wonderful wife one day.

Motivation
Lets talk about motivation shall we?
Why is it that I can spend hours researching material related to a topic of interest, but once I open book one, page one, I am so totally bored with it even though I have a strong desire to learn said subject.
The world may never know.
Maybe Anthony Robbins can help. I've gotten hooked on these self improvement / personal development speaking talks that you can get on CD/cassette (cassette what?). What started it all was a cassette bundle called The Best of Prosperity by Bob Harrison that I found on a bin diving expedition at Goodwill. Not knowing anything about it, I picked it up and started listening. I was hooked. Then I blew the dust off of an Anthony Robbins pack called Unleash the Power Within. WOW!!! I've had this sitting around for at least ten years and had never really listened to it. I'm on the fourth disc now. I've listened to each of the first three disc a number of times. Anthony is a wonderful speaker. Next, I'll blow the dust off of this NLP training pack I got around the same time as Unleash. Goodwill, here I come!
So why did I sit on two training packs for all these years without listening? I guess at this time in my life, I've become receptive to hearing what is being said and am wanting to make some changes in my own life.

New Socks
Let's see - Boy's socks, size Large, shoe Size 3-9 Cushion Crew. Okay?
Features:
EZ Sort Matching (registered) (to aid with laundry sorting)
Hmmm. A sock is a sock. After looking, cannot seem to notice what it is about the socks that allow you to sort them easier. What am I not seeing?

Cold Medicine
Burr !!! It's cold outside. Went for a small walk and I'm glad I'm back inside. The furnace is running overtime so I decided to lower the temperature . . . still running overtime. I turned it up this morning to take the bite out of the air, and the sucker ran for 1 hr 30 minutes for a temp increase of 4..5 degrees!
Aside from the cold though, here is something I've been thinking of lately . . .
Some folks out there in the New Age community would like to go back to the old day's of medical care. That is, the "wise ones" in many indigenous peoples just knew what was good and bad for health care vs. today's communities who spend much time testing, probing and prodding to gain new knowledge often with unfavorable results when human trials begin.
My question is, "Just how did these peoples learn that which they just know?" Here's how. The medicine man finds a new plant or substance. He tries a sample of known quantity on a patient with an illness. Now, here's the kicker. Whatever the response of the patient to the medicine, the medicine man writes in his mental notepad the results and hands down that knowledge through verbal teachings to his pupil(s).
It is no different back then as it is today except! . . . today, we test primarily on animals who have a similar physiology to humans before we start human trials. Back then, YOU were the test subject.
Now, what's for dinner? Why don't you volunteer for the clan to try that new berry that was found at the edge of the known world. If your lucky, you'll see tomorrow.

Federal Deficit
So the United States of America has a rather small federal deficit. Just how do you start to tackle it . . .
1) Make government smaller - this means cutting jobs, potentially from essential civil services.
2) Lower the salaries of government workers.
3) Raise taxes - you pick it: sales tax, income tax, property tax, etc.
4) Cut government programs that are non-essential.
Unfortunately, ALL of these actions (and others unnamed here) will anger certain groups of people. So when you have a problem as BIG as the federal deficit, you have to start somewhere. So the bigger question becomes . . . just which group of people do you tick off first? To make it a well rounded approach to fixing the deficit, all groups should take a hit to some degree, thus, leveling the playing field.
Now that's fine and dandy until it affects me or you personally. So how would I feel in that case? As usual, I'd just roll with it.
Any other broad deficit fixing suggestions? Chime in if you wish.

Trackball
It has taken a while, but I've finally gotten used to this new trackball that I got - and I'll have to say that I like it! It's a Kensington Expert Mouse. The biggest thing to get used to is moving the mouse with your fingertips rather than the wrist. But now that I've gotten past that, all is good. The movement is very fluid and controlled. The coolest part is the Scroll Ring around the trackball itself. Allows you to scroll up and down a page. Very hand - and addictive.

The Plan
Finally getting some time to rest now that Christmas is behind us. Next big thing is New Years. Then . . . not a damn thing most of early Winter. Spring will be the next thing to look forward to.
I'm off of work this week. Gives me a chance to work on the new place. Still putting things away. Will go to the Botanical Gardens River of Lights tonight. Will plan on being home all day tomorrow fixing up the place and cooking.
Feels good to be cooking again. Tired of much of the quickies I've had over the last couple of months with the move and holiday's.
Plan to go out for New Years celebration. Have not done it in years. Sorry Mr. Clark - the ball's still going to drop without me and I'll still feel the same January 1. Well - OK, except for a possible hangover and a lot of ass dragg'en from going to bed late. I know I know - "sleep in" you say. Your talking to someone who wakes up no later than 8 regardless of going to bed at 10pm or 4am. Well that's just how the ball rolls.
Happy New Year to you all !!

Santa Working
I'm tired, but Santa still has a lot of work to do. Santa's got most of the gifts boxed. Need to wrap. Have two artzy projects to work on as gifts. Maybe Coca Cola Products will help. Santa sees a late night coming and it's just about 10pm.
The T.V. is upstairs and I'm working downstairs. I wanted to watch the evening news earlier, so decided in stead to run through the AM radio dial looking for any news programs. Didn't find any but did run across a new radio station that is playing a lot of that feel good tween music called JENNiRADIO. I'll be the first to admit that I'm an adult - and by golly, I enjoy this style of music. Turns out the station is new and they've got a web page setup. Check it out here.
I relation to that style of music, I picked up a disc by Hey Monday earlier in the summer. Really enjoyed it. I say enjoyed it because I've misplaced the disc. More feel good tween music. It is probably in another bands CD case. I'll find it eventually - I hope. If your interested, check them out here and there.
Now what JENNiRADIO needs is a playlist on the website.
Hey Procrastinator is getting off track. Need to get back to the mission at hand. Santa delivers soon.
Now have yourself a Very Merry Christmas and may the New Year be BRIGHT!
