Put Summer away and bring Winter out.

Well, I guess the end of Summer is upon us now.  Got to take down the pool, put away the badminton set, stowaway the croquet set , hide away the habatchi grill, batten down the boat or hatches or whatever it's called. In other words "Put shit away!!"

Of course now that we have done all that we have to bring out the "winter shit".  Coats, sweaters,boots,scarves and things.  As a man I just pull them out of the closet and put them on when I need them. 

Women on the other hand will make us men take everything to the cleaners.  Hell I just picked them up from the cleaners before I put them away last year.  But that's what women do.

The only thing I am worried about is the NFL games and The Redskins. I wash my jersey at the beginning of the season and not until the end will it get washed again. Sounds nasty and can smell nasty but that is what we do!!

I am rambling now so I'll be quiet.  Besides I have to take the clothes to the cleaners so I can bring them out or are these the one I have to put away? I don't know.

Have fun, be careful and remember that if you want to laugh  just do it!! It will make you fell better.

That's my theory and I am sticking to it.

From "End Times" to "New Times"

 

Happy New Year!

Wow is that red and green thing annoying or what? At least I didn't make it blink or something. Anyway Happy New year everyone and I hope we all woke up this morning fresh and ready to take on the world!!!

I think most might just want a cup of coffee and an Aspirin.Then we start to break all of  the New Year resolutions we made. Yep, what's a cup of Java without a smoke and and a sugar doughnut. I mean what the hell, I can always start tomorrow when I go to work and it's easier to avoid these things but today I just want to enjoy all the stuff I am supposed to be giving up just one last time.

I love this quote from Mark Twain:

"New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions." 

But seriously, I did a little surfing this morning and found some interesting resolution that people have made and it made me think. For instance, one I saw said that they would

"be more vigilant to wash their hands after using the rest room."

and what a great idea. I always wash after I use the rest room but it occurred to me that really I should wash before I go as well because I know my stuff is clean but what was on the door handle when I went into the rest room.  How about this one...

"Start a blog about how I would write more often if I had something important to write. Only make one blog entry and leave it published for years"

now I believe I have done that in the past so this one I will break and do two or three posts a year.  Actually that is more like my website UTC Rock and Roll  but that's another post altogether.

OK one more of these.....

"Go back to school to avoid paying my student loans" 

now that one almost makes sense.

(By the way I got these from HubPages just want to share the love of the Internet.)

Enough "Resolution" how about "Revalations" yes those wonderful wacky predictions of the future.

From  ONTD  (Oh No They Didn't) and Mr Sidney Friedman I found a couple of very interesting predictions. One disturbing prediction is......

" A huge discovery is made, or a significant event occurs, regarding solar flares.

The number 9, the number 2, and a heart-shaped image in the sky in some way will be part of this year’s events."

I mean that is something but the big shake up is......

" In a quasi shakeup, Jimmy Fallon is named host of NBC’s  Tonight Show, replacing Jay Leno."

Wow now that is really something.

All kidding, resolutins and revalations aside I did see on more prediction I think we can all hope and pray for and that is......

"Contrary to current tension, and against all reasoned historical probability, there is an unusual, unexpected calm with a period of peaceful understanding in the Middle East by summer of this year between either Israel and the Palestinians, or Israel and Iran, achieved not by political leaders, but by common citizens."

So no matter what you wished for, for Christmas or what resolutions you made for the New Year just remember this quote.......

"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. "

Norman Vincent Peale
