Legalize It

Well, let's see.....what shall the topic of discussion be, how about legalizing Marijuana? I for one thinks it's a helluva good idea. Growing up in the late 60's early 70's marijuana, mary jane, whackyweed, cannabis, pot and whatever you might have called it was the "high" of choice. No hangover, just sore ribs and cheeks from laughing so much....oh and the aftermath of eating everything in sight.(kind of makes me chuckle thinking about it).

If you think about the revenue from tobacco taxes and what you could bring in on a pack of Panama Red, Jamaican Gold, Acapulco Gold, Hawaiian... the numbers would be astounding. People with medical issues would be allowed to purchase it legally and a whole lot cheaper than the drugs provided by our big business pharmaceutical companies. Hell, we could grow our own right along side the rest of our favorite garden varieties , afterall it is a pretty plant.

My personal feelings on the matter is this..I would rather have someone who has smoked a couple of joints or doobies behind the wheel of a car than someone who has been in a bar for hours drinking. The worst that might happen would be the stoner might drive a little slow.

The Game

The Bears will hopefully come out on top but regardless who wins, the NFC will be well represented. There is nothing like a football game in the elements, game time temp at Soldier Field will be hovering right around 18 degrees. Having been to a game there in the cold you hardly feel it, the excitement is overwhelming so frozen appendages you never feel. Here's hoping for a good game and hoping fans on both sides of the field keep their composure so as not to become one of "those" fans.

Nasty Running in the Veins

Ahhh, the weekend it's finally here. As I sit here trying to think of something worthwhile to say I find myself drawing this huge blank. I think my brain realizes it's the weekend and is refusing to lend a hand.

Okay, here's somthing to think about. I often wonder what makes some people so ugly when they call their friendly customer service with a problem. I am beginning to think those people have nasty running through their veins and basically were put on this earth to make someone's day one they want to forget. Being in customer service, I get my fair share of the uglies everyday. Sometimes I find myself laughing when someone calls and blames me for their payment not being delivered on time; that's right it was my fault that you mailed it from California when it was due in Des Moines in two days and hell yes I forgot to put the check in the envelope......I tell you what, you need to watch out for those 80 yr old women who start in because you won't be able to tell them any different because they can't hear a word you are saying. So everyone remember, the customer service rep you speak to has feelings too, so ditch the uglies....yours and my day will be much better because of it.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Howdy howdy, hope all is well on this fricken cold night. Did I mention the low tonight is -9 without the wind chill? The only good thing about the cold weather is that it's here a couple of months and then poof, it's gone. I believe that's what keeps us going, knowing that the summer months will be here soon. The warm summer breezes, chasing that dreadful little white ball, and my favorite sounds of summer....the game of baseball, I can smell the hotdogs now. Personally, I prefer a bag of peanuts and an ice cold beer. Here's wishing the Cubs make it to the big show...one can only hope. If not, there's always next year.....wait, why am I already talking about next year?

I started back doing P90X...what an ass kicking workout, Kenpo today. Although it's a good workout, I don't think I am going to be the next Nikita. This is my 2nd attempt at P90X, first time injured myself (I might add stupidly) and then came the holidays so you know the rest. This time I hope to complete the full 90 days. Now I am not trying to become one buff chick I am 60 yrs. old for crying out loud. I just want to stay and feel young as long as I can. I do believe in this...you are as old as you feel. Right now I feel a whole lot younger than I am.

It was a fantastic day for all Chicago Bears fans of the world they beat the Seattle Seahawks 35-24 in a divisional playoff game. Next, the Green Bay Packers then it's off to the Superbowl. How abosofreakenlutely awsome would that be?? Then if the Chicago Cubs could do some of the same....WIN Not to worry I have faith in them. I will always have faith in the one of America's favorite teams. Growing up in Waukegan which is midpoint between Chicago and Milwaukee you were either a Cub's fan or White Sox fan, I chose the Cubs. Back then the Cubs didn't have night games so I went to alot of Sox games, which in a way I am thankful for. I saw Roger Marris, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Nelly Fox, Ted Kluzuski just to mention a few. A Cub's fan I will always be, win or lose.

Here's hoping to finish P90X, without killing myself, and Cub's and Bear's victories a plenty.
