Well I woke up around 10am, had my morning cuppa tea, and I'm now screwing around on my tablet. So pretty much exactly like 2014.

Off to a rough start.. got drunk, lost my life savings, got thrown in jail, got beat up by a homeless person, got 5 women pregnant, got my life savings back, lost an eye in a bad bet, got a glass eye from a homeless person, got a really bad tattoo of a penis on my penis, sold my mother into slavery, set my hair on fire, fell out of an airplane, and dropped my toast butter side down on the floor.....

and that was just this morning...I am not optimistic.

So far so good, no hangover (no alcohol), I'm waking up... listening to really cool music...
I'm pissed... where are the flying cars and the Mr. Fusion I was promised?
I never expected flying cars, knew it was a dumb idea to begin with. I also knew that fusion was a toughy (was a physics major). I am pissed about the political constipation/stagnation that I'd hoped we could avoid and rise above.

You hope for the best but plan for the worst.

I like political stagnation. If they aren't doing anything, they aren't fucking anything up. They've had 228 years to get this shit right. For every improvement, we get 3 dozen fuck ups.

The cork in my 1.75L(1.75!) bottle of Grey Goose was slightly popped open so found out that I lost the last fifth to evaporation.

But they are wasting your taxes if they do nothing, or worse fuck things up, plus they are distracting everyone and wasting people's time if they can't do their job. Government is a legitimate undertaking in this world, humans can't progress without some government, hopefully effective government.

I drink my wine slowly enough that it will often turn to vinegar before I kill a bottle, so I store it in the fridge, once opened.

They waste my taxes regardless. Doing something only increases the bill. Thanks to them doing something, I have the same old shit for health insurance, now with a 100% more mandate. But hey! Maybe we can shoot some brown people, or pay some Americans to spy on other Americans. That should help the economy...

Able to sleep well (over 9 hours) last night. It is raining and cold outside so will stay in all day today. So quiet here.

One of very few days I wish I still had cable. ESPN has all the good football games.

IMO, you should balance your pessimism with some realism and realize that government does some things that need to be done, things that nobody else can or wants to do. A lot of things have been tried, things that government used to do, trying to accomplish the same things privately. So many times, those experiments have failed. Like it or not, government is in your future.

Maybe they should do those things, and not all the other treasonous, unconstitutional bullshit they do. If they limited themselves to that, we'd lower taxes, and get more done.

We can start the year off right by pulling 100% support away from Israel, and putting it into our schools. I'm not sure why we're giving money to a first world nuclear power. I'd rather my $10 annual contribution went somewhere, just about anywhere else. Shit, I'd just as soon use it to buy a wino a bottle of whiskey for Xmas. At least then, the money's going to an American.

Noone's stopping you from giving $10 to a wino. :)

What do you mean, "do nothing"?

Our noble leaders have renamed no less than 43 post offices in the last 4 years.

Let's see, my dumb ass of a sister goes to the casino, goes out of town, and wrecks her truck on the way home. Everyone's fine, but she'd better not come to me for a loan.

Rain on Saturday :^(

It's been a lame winter so far. I want some snow. To add insult to injury, I haven't been able to make snow on my desktop. I haven't put a huge amount of effort in, but I can't believe I'm the only one in the world who likes dumb crap like that. Seems there should be something ready made.

Edit:
I can do it in compiz, but I lose window decorations. It's unmaintained anymore :^/
