After ten years on the job My pink slip is in hand There's not much that's more deflating To the ego of a man I cannot take a handout It's not in my DNA I don't know what I'll do After today My truck is on her last legs The engine leaks, the A/C's dead The sun visor won't stay in place It always hits my head I'm still paying on the brake job That two months ago I had Things are piling up My life is bad CHORUS My life's bad And getting worse each day it seems It's not living up To all my hopes and dreams The more I think about it makes me sad But I just can't help from thinking My life's bad Life might not be so awful If her love I hadn't lost She made me like a king While I was her albatross She finally stopped believing In the love I thought we had I cannot sugarcoat it My life's bad I go to bed alone And then I wake up just the same For my woman leaving me I guess I'll have to take the blame I wasn't living up To what she wanted me to be I'm the root cause Of my misery CHORUS My life's bad And getting worse each day it seems It's not living up To all my hopes and dreams The more I think about it makes me sad But I just can't help from thinking My life's bad My waistline is expanding And my knees are giving out My ankle's always swollen I don't know what that's about I'm starting to become The spitting image of my dad He died at 66 My life is bad CHORUS My life's bad And getting worse each day it seems I'm not living up To all my hopes and dreams The more I think about it makes me sad But I just can't help from thinking My life's bad Yeah, the more I think about it makes me sad But I just can't help from thinking My life's bad
The column doesn’t state that it was a decisive stand. In fact, it says they considered making the change requested – which is horrifying – but in the end, Sony did the right thing.

Time heals all wounds Or so I've heard say So I keep on waiting For my healing each day In the meantime there's her - The wounds she inflicted Cuz I haven't healed yet Just like no one predicted It's over two years Since she broke my heart And dwelling on lonely Just doesn't seem smart But I'm still in love Although we're apart And I can't love again 'Til my healing does start CHORUS Time heals all wounds Though it may seem forever And death comes to all So it never takes never It may take a lifetime But things will get better Time heals all wounds Though it may take forever We were so happy At least for a time The wounds didn't come Until she changed her mind Try as I might I just couldn't please her She soon became Brutus To my Julius Caesar CHORUS How much more time Will it take to heal me? That is an answer No one can foresee My thoughts are still Centered on her each day With no sign of healing Time, take them away CHORUS Though time heals all wounds It is taking forever
It is a tough predicament in which to be. I am a man still in love with a woman who not only no longer loves me, but she is now in love with someone else, and sometimes it feels like she doesn’t care even the slightest for me at all anymore. We still communicate – mainly because I was completely miserable when we had no contact with each other whatsoever. She seemed to be perfectly fine without communicating with me. She has lots of friends, that guy, and never really needed me, I don’t think. She didn’t love me as much as I loved her. She did admit that to me back in November. When she would used to tell me she loved me, I would always say “I love you more”. That would annoy her. But I was right.
Just being able to chat with her on occasion is the only reasonable accommodation I could or should expect at this point, and she responds sometimes. And that has sustained me. I have been much happier since we began chatting again in November. However, she gets annoyed with me messaging her. I think any amount is too much, and she normally puts up with me, but her patience occasionally wears thin and she lets me know it. I still fret over her, and I get concerned about her workload, and whether she is taking care of herself, and how her financials are, etc. I want to be available and helpful whenever I can and however I can. This annoys her. I just love her. This is the only relationship I can have with her. I can’t see her. I can’t talk to her on the phone. I deactivated my Facebook account partially to avoid seeing her posts about the fun she is having without me… All I have is messaging her. And today was one of those days where she let me know I was being too much.
She has had to work a lot more lately due to her office being short-staffed, so she has been working extra long hours. She got home late last night, but has today off. I messaged her this morning to ask how long she got to sleep in – because she had complained of being tired all week and because I know how much she loves sleep – and she let me know that I didn’t need a play-by-play, and that she doesn’t message anyone all day (we used to message each other all day, every day when we were together – mainly because we weren’t able to spend much time together in person). I said “Okay”, and she said she knows that hurts my feelings, and she’s sorry. I said “Okay” again and left it at that. I’ll give her some space now, and not message her for days, like I sometimes do when I feel like I’m annoying her, or when she inadvertently hurts my feelings, and then I’ll eventually be dying to talk to her again. Because, dear reader, she will not message me. I think she would prefer that I never contact her again. She seems to do completely fine without any contact with me at all. I know I’m the wrong one in this – the irrational one, but it still sucks.
I agree with the survey results. Thomas Whitmore is the best fictional president. He literally saved the entire world from aliens! Who you got?

Here is an opinion piece discussing just how bad politics have gotten regarding people who should be on my side, written by someone who is on my side: Mona Charen. These behaviors are what Trump has wrought. Oh, to get back to the principles we Republicans, and especially we conservatives espoused back before that carpetbagging piece of trash with the bad hair switched parties just so he could run for President of the United States of America!
This stuff really pisses me off. The New York City Council is removing a statue of Thomas Jefferson from its chambers. The decision was unanimous. Unanimous! Are these people serious? Is there not one free-thinking person in the whole damn chamber who spoke up to remind the rest of who authored the Declaration of Independence and who ended the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade?

This weekend got close to being a perfect football weekend. For me, this extremely rare phenomenon – which has only happened once, as far as I can recall – consists of the following occurrences from college and NFL football combined:
The Florida State Seminoles win
The Georgia Bulldogs win
The Auburn Tigers win
The Florida Gators lose
The Miami Hurricanes lose
The Ohio State Buckeyes lose
The Texas A&M Aggies lose
The Jacksonville Jaguars win
The Chicago Bears win
The Pittsburgh Steelers win
The Kansas City Chiefs win
The Tennessee Titans lose
The Baltimore Ravens lose
The New England Patriots lose
Tom Brady loses
Those last two things used to be the same thing, but now I can’t even like Tampa Bay.
