The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

I don't get it

I just had to come back today to ponder the notion that John Edwards affair matters in any whatsoever. He's not a candidate...for ANYTHING. He's not on the short list for VP. He's not pretending he wants to run for president again in 2012. Um, what the fuck?

I think the problem is that there are so many republican's porking their male assistants their pages, their... well, anything that will stand still in front of them, that the media had to take a break and report on a democrat doing it. Which, of course, is supposed to rock the world. I just don't get it. What does this have to do with someone's ability to do their job? Bill Clinton last got a hummer about a decade ago and we're STILL hearing about it. Seriously, what the fuck for?

This country is so damned fucked up about sex that the whole thing could get carted off from under our noses and we're all over in the corner, gossiping about the guy who got his knob polished.

Pay attention to the important stuff and forget this shit already.

Oh btw I present to you the leader of the free world:



Seriously.

Monday

In direct contrast to my horoscope, I have NO energy today. There's plenty to do, yet no desire to do it.

Work is laying all around this office, I need to ride, which I didn't do yesterday in my slothful mood. I really should be sending the application and check for that grant writing program in the next couple of days, I have two textbooks I should be reading to teach out of next week, and here I sit blogging. Well, that's the general direction the day seems to be taking. I'm just going with the flow.

The panic of getting it all done will settle in right around lunch time, that should be fun. Maybe a little adrenaline is what I need to get motivated today.

The remainder of the weekend was fairly uneventful, I'm still mindful of taking that girl out to ride Saturday, that was pretty fun. They're now saying we might get rained out this Saturday, I hope not, I'd like to do that again.

In any case I have someone from one of the part time jobs who wants to ride and I'll probably take her Saturday.

God I just feel like I'm moving through molasses today.


Guests from out of town all week, maybe that will perk me up.
