My Inner Apocalypse

Anybody out there?

My shoulder is healing nicely, started rehab for it and its going well. Been working out again, not like I was but slowly and carefully. The weekend before last sara had business in Chicago for a couple days so I decided to go along with kids in tow. It was fun for the kids seeing the big city for the first time and lego city they loved, we stayed in the room for the most part but we had fun. As we were getting ready to leave for home I just felt terrible, ached all over, weak and had a fever. I just could not shake it most of the week so I went to the dr. and I had Bronchitis. That’s handy!! I dont think that city likes me very much. The last several times I have been there has me returning ill, cancelled concerts or just the worst traffic in the history of the city. This was its last chance to be good to me, it failed. I burn that bridge. FLAME ON BITCHES!!!!!

Several years ago as I was building a deck for our house my left arm slipped out from underneath me as I was leaning on it, it almost felt like my shoulder dislocated but it did not so I went on working. It ached for a couple days and I forgot about it. Since I started working out it eventually became a problem. Under my wifes advice I went and had a mri and had indeed damaged my shoulder. I just had surgery to repair a torn Labrum which is common I guess. It was an outpatient procedure that I did on the 10th of this month. The first week sucked but its feeling better every day. I’ll be off work for several more weeks until I am released to return to work, my range of motion is still small. My point to this is I made light of this leading up to it, but in the back of my head I knew it would suck. It really sucks! That feeling of your life interupted I dont like. I can’t workout, can’t go to work, could not drive, I just started riding my bike again after almost 3 weeks. So my positive wife put her spin on it, at least its not your right shoulder. As much as it sucks she is totally right. So I have to thank her for that and for all her help with this and for being with me. She makes me want to be a better person and i’m  really trying. Its time for me to stop being the “Grouchie,Negative Jerk” that I am. Everyone that knows her understands that she is the best, she is better than me, she is better than all of us. She use to say I was a work in progress, lately she says she’s giving up on me, I just have to show her she fixed what she thought could not be fixed.

I went to get a new phone and renew our contract and walked out with the new I phone. I figured I needed to become an I nerd to stay in touch with my wife and and other nerds. Plus getting the new version before her really spun her up. It will be pretty handy for me, but Im glad I waited. I still rock!!

Kicking out some good miles on my new Specialized Roubaix. I’ll be doing a century ride (100mile) in the next week or so. One of the best parts about riding is when I ride in the morning thru early afternoon during the week, 90+degrees, people with normal jobs are at work and I’m on the loose. I sometimes see other riders, the more mature ones will wave or even talk, but then you have the young coffeshop, hipster, lifetime college student jackasses that think they are the shit, they dont wave. I cant ride away from that, so I just ride behind them and then beside them until they get all twitchy and then I pin it. I breakaway like its my job, and I dont slow down, I’m hoping they chase me but they wont, and I dont slow down, and my legs are saying slow down!! Shut up legs!! Lets school the Rusted Root Bitchface.

Seems to me that our President could not take some negative things said about him by one of his top Generals. Maybe some misdirected anger because he cant handle larger issues afoot right now. This general had the stones to say how he felt about him, good for him. I wonder if the President knows how most of the U.S feels towards him, wait a minute, he must, he’s already punishing us in alot of ways.

How I know Nates gay.  He has a facebook page!!! Flamer!!

New Favorite show: Archer on FX. I pee a little every time.

I just realized while retrieving gifts from the attic to wrap for the kids that I am 100% an adult/parent. Lately all I can think about is when the kids are grown and they have their own homes and nice things, going to their house and spilling food, breaking shit and completly disregard anything they say. Maybe I’ll even shit my pants. Dont get me wrong I love them to death, but I am pretty sure they know what kind of horseshit they are pulling, so years from now I’ll give it back.  Its gonna be sweet!

My job, like everyones, is at times a love/ hate relationship. I work for a great company, the hours suck, the work is very abusive at times, but its what I do and I consider myself very fortunate to have it. A thorn in my side that I have had since I started working years ago and with every job is that there are people who dont pull their own weight. They remind me of the misfit toys in the old Rudolph christmas movie, just running around not really making a difference with their two elephant trunks or missing button eyes. The odd part of this is the lead people whose job it is to get things done, do not use these people. They realize they cannot depend on them, so they use people they can count on. Needless to say If my feet stop moving, they want to know what Im doing next, while the misfits stand there and try and figure out why their eyes burn when they stare at the sun! I am not bragging, I just belive when you do things right, people are not sure you did anything at all. Should I be happy Im needed or are the three legged Pooh bears playing the system? I guess if they sleep good at night then why should I care, after all there is such a thing as bad Karma. Merry Christmas Pooh!!
