This ad came up when I was on Weather.com. How can this guy refinance when he doesn’t even have the luxury of a shirt or personal grooming skills? Besides, how can you refinance a cave?

I got owned last night. My closet dropped me like a call on an AT&T cellie. Apparently I still put on my sweats like a 5 year old. I set them on the ground, put each foot in, grab the waist band. Then I squat down building tension. In a sudden move I burst sky ward extending my legs down and out the ankles of the sweat while I pull up on the waistband. It’s a flawless technique and has worked for years. Trouble is last night Ii did it in the middle of my closet door jamb and impaled my dome on a metal latch mid jump. Next thing I know I was laying on the ground with blood pouring out off my head. Is this it? Is this how it ends? This could be on CSI, I thought. No signs of forced entry, COD blunt force trauma. A mystery for the ages. I pulled my self together and turned away from the light. I type this with a knot on my head and a headache.
Not sure what you’ll find useful about this post. You probably just wasted 30 seconds of your life, and continue to waste time as you read me typing about you wasting time. I suppose you can try my technique for putting on pants and see if it works. And opposed to the saying, I don’t put my pants on one leg at a time like everyone else. I put them on two legs at a time. And now I put them on two legs at a time while wearing a helmet.

….then take out a PayDay loan and bribe the longshoremen to give you another ship. I think that’s how the old time saying goes. Times are tough. So tough in fact that I ‘ve decided to turn my empty dinner place setting into useful tools to actually put food on the table. My first attempt is making a fishing lure out of my soup spoon. Hopefully, the steelhead are craving the soup du jour formerly know as my silverware. Off to the rivers. If the spoon fails to put dinner on my table I have plans for a bear trap made out of sauce pan and an potato peeler.
**********UPDATE**********
After a weekend of drowning the spoon in icy waters I’m happy to report it was a success. The recession is over and my dinner plate is no longer empty. Here are some pics of the fish fooled with the Slabbin’ Spoon.

With the world economy and politics in a state of flux I always get a kick out of the morning headlines when I turn on my computer. Of course you can’t believe everything you read on the internet but the beauty of it is headlines either compliment or contradict one another. In the same day you’ll see “The Recession is over” and “Unemployment continues to climb.” Other times headlines will tell the obvious picture, as in todays headlines. US continues to sell long term debt to fill the budget deficit…..and China continues to buy. Basically it’s like the US taking out a high interest loan to run down to the hardware store to buy heavy rope for a noose, and 2×4’s for a chair to stand on. Then stopping by Kinko’s to print off an invitation for China to come by and kick the chair out from under it. – Sketch Armstrong

I’d like to blame my lack of posts on the cable company turning off my service but I can’t. While that did happen I could have managed ways to type words on this waste of internet space but I didn’t. In fact I haven’t done much since my last post. I completely ran out of gas. I felt like a puppet and everyone was yanking at my strings with their own wants and needs. Obligations are a part of life for sure but I don’t want to go through life as some cheap puppet dancing without control like Elaine Benes. So now, like Pinocchio, I’m releasing my strings to their rightful owners and trying to focus on my own future. And my nose won’t grow an inch when I tell you I’m excited to kick the door down and walk out of Geppetto’s shop into this new day.
Coming soon in the life and times of Aquapasture. A return to higher education, finishing long delayed projects, consolidating anything and everything, an important promise, and most importantly…a direction.

The Presidential election of 2012 can’t come soon enough. Not sure who his running mate would be because I don’t think anyone could keep up. Evidently, Fabio throws his name in the hat.

As the saying goes, “Whatever floats your boat.” If your boat isn’t floating you’ll end up sinking into a miserable human being. So find what will keep you afloat. For some adrenaline junkies it’s jumping off a cliff in a wing suit. At the other end of the scale is the guy who’s idea of living on the edge is shredding stapled paper while wearing a tie. But, you’ll need more than an adrenaline rush to keep you above the surface. Truth be told I’m not sure what the hell floats my boat. Sometimes I’m in a float tube in the Atlantic during the Perfect Storm holding a lightning rod in my left hand and a bag of chum in my right. Other times, I’m going 80 mph in a cigarette boat skipping off the tops of the waves wearing Ray Bans and sporting Zinc Oxide on my schnoz while blastin’ .38 Special….straight floatin’ my boat.
This might sound cornier than a tank full of Ethanol but, to me life is about finding out what floats your boat. There’s great weather, hurricanes, calm water, and rough seas on the horizon. Learn and appreciate along the way and before you know it nothing will be able to sink you. It’s not a single thing that’ll keep you seaworthy, but a combination of experiences, lessons, relationships, and perspective that’ll keep you off the ocean floor and basking in the sun.

I don’t think of myself as brilliant, skolarly (intentionally misspelled), or anything other than ordinary. Proudly though, I think I have common sense. The sense to make decisions, solve problems and function in everyday society. Sadly, though, with everyday I encounter more stupid people.
The image of the Far Side cartoon of the guy pushing on the door labeled “Pull” pops into my head.
So stupid people, we here at Aquapasture Industries have teamed up with an Indonesian sweat shop to offer you some new apparel so those of us in public can spot you and avoid you, therefore saving everyone precious time. Fear not common sensers, we haven’t forgotten about you. You’ll have the opportunity to purchase our “Constipated Holmes” shirt. When you encounter stupids, just tell them to read the shirt when they finally come around to making a conclusion, forming an opinion, or figure out how to make toast. Of course the shirt may throw them for a loop and they’ll spend hours trying to figure it out. Between you and me it means, No Shit Sherlock. Oh one last thing stupids, we’ll need your social security number when you place your order. We apologize for this inconvenience, it’s a Nigerian commerce regulation.

With the health-care debate heating up, my mind wanders to find something the government runs efficiently. After four light years of pondering I couldn’t find anything so I settled on the United States Postal Service. I believe it’s a applicable comparison to private and public health-care options. On one side you have FedEx and UPS, on the other is the USPS……United States Postal Service. One a bureaucracy the other two inspired by capitalism and the incentive to make a profit. I’m not here to bore you so let’s take a quick glance at their performance over the last year given the latest financials.
Even with paying income taxes those evil capitalists FedEx and UPS managed to make handsome profits. Unfortunately, with the benefit of no income taxes the USPS was only able to come within a stones throw (aka loss of 4.7 Billion) of that glorious break even point. The news gets worse. USPS is projected to lose $7 Billion dollars in FY 2009 and a cool $7 Billion more in FY 2010. Hopefully, UPS and FedEx flourish so they can pay all those taxes to subsidize the government ran USPS. For the life of me I can’t seem to transpose the efficiency of the USPS into a government run health-care system that is supposed to eliminate the current inefficiencies of private health-care.
PS> I’m a goober but from what I can tell these numbers and information are legit and are a lamens way of looking at the private vs. public debate in apples to apples terms…..But then again what the hell do I know?
