Exile in Geeksville

This blog was written  on 2/16  it was the last blog I had written for a while.  I have had a lot going on, and you will be able to read about a lot of it soon

but here it -

OK so I missed last week’s blog - I know.

The truth is just I had not a lot to say – which is funny since so much was going on - Super Bowl – Super Tuesday – my Tour – Roger Clemens’ Steroids scandal – my pitiful excuse for a personal life.

Where do I begin?

I heard a story about a man who ran over a child, and is not suing the parents of the kid, for the damage to his car - Can you believe people?

I had an idea I began to outline to start a video blog project with my brother. (I haven’t begun to approach him about it, to discuss politics. I don’t seem to discuss politics with many of my friends or family. I mean I know where they stand on most issues, with my father and brother on the far right end of the political stick and my mother is more right than center, my sister, who now owns property and has kids is probably just right of center, but socially she still leans left (I think of her as Eisenhower style republican) My other sister is more liberal, but to be honest I am not sure just how liberal. You figure a lesbian living in Florida is probably pretty leftist - but I think she may be more Liberatarian.

Then there is me, way out on the far left end of thought. Sometimes I forget how alien I am to the enviroment that spawned me.

I heard it said once, If your a Republican under 30 you don’t have a heart, but if your a Democrat over 30 you don’t have a brain.

Hey Sport fans - I imagine some of you were among the 100,000,000 or so who enjoyed this past weekend’s American Football match between the Giants of New York and Patriots of the Greater New England Area.

For starters, let me say at no time were my alligences ever anywhere but with the G-men. I am more of a Jets fan when it comes to pro football, but of course I was going to route for the Giants during this game. Lucky for me the Giants have Armani Toomer on the team to balance the Michigan factor of Tom Brady on the Pats (plus Toomer was at Michigan the same time I was)

Of course now that the Big Game is over, there are more important things on the horizon to focus on. I am of course refering to this coming tuesday, when our nation’s attention turns to what matters, BOOBS and PASTRIES! and of course there are all those what do you call them, oh yeah Presidentials Primarys.

Now I am sure most of you are familiar with the Mardi Gras celebrations that take place this week in New Orleans, LA and Mobile, MS among other places. But did you know that in polish enclaces across the midwest its Paczki Day? A Paczki is basically a large sticky sweet donut style pastry made to remove all the items from a home that were not allowed during Lent. (Sugar, eggs, lard, anything sweet and yummy)

So somewhere after your 3rd paczki and before you start throwing beeds or flashing remember to head down to your local polling place and cast a ballot in the primary of your political affliation. The Primary process is what helps determine the voice of a political party. So make yours heard - And pass me a lemon Paczki
