Snow!

It keeps on snowing here in Ohio, I do like the snow, however enough is enough! This season has been rough, weather wise, there seems to be a lot more snow than last year. Well I guess that's what I get for living here. Maybe I should move to a warmer place, a place that has no snow. California or Florida? Cali has earthquakes & fires and Florida has it's bugs and huricanes, I guess there is a downside to no matter where you live. I was born and raised here in Ohio so I should be used to it by now, I have been through worse weather, but it just seems to get to me this season, I can blame it on growing old, lol.

I took this pic in Nov, 2008 the first big snow of the season.

News You Can Use # 1 Digital Converter Boxes

I figured I would start a "News You Can Use" post, this is my first one. It's mainly about shit you already know and heard from TV, news papers or the Internet, but just in case your life is limited to blogs then I guess I can get my point accross. This is the first of many that will follow. Today's "news you can use" is about. . .

Digital Converter Boxes!

As you may already know, you will need a digital converter box to watch TV after February 17, 2009. Yep, if you don't have cable or satellite you wont be able to watch TV! The deficit reduction act of 2005 requires all full powered TV stations to turn off their analog channels. So if you want to keep watching TV and you don't have this digital box thingy, then sorry for you. I would imagine that most people have either satellite or cable, probably the main people effected by this is the elderly and the poor.

The elderly because they stick to watching only local channels and an old dog is hard to teach a new trick. This transition effects the poor, well because they are just that, they cant afford cable or satellite. The other people that will be effected by this change are in another category of themselves. You can sign up for coupons for the digital box thing or read more about it by clicking this LINK. I am not the Government so if your not approved for a box don't come back to haunt me, it's up to them if you qualify, I am merely providing you with a link to their site.

Where there you have it folks, some news you can use.

Snowy Days

Lately there has been a lot of snow here in Ohio and I must say that I do enjoy it, but driving in it really sucks. Every Winter I go through the same thing of renting some big ass truck since my car was not made for snow! I know I should just buy a truck but the only time I would use it is when there was snow on the ground, not worth it for me. I feel like a midget in a semi driving that damn big thing, but it doesn't get me stuck in the snow so I guess I shouldn't complain.


I figure the bigger the better, I been stuck in the snow before but that's another story! On snowy days I don't normally stay indoors but I love to be with friends sometimes sipping hot chocolate and watching movies when its really cold. As old as I am I still love having snow ball fights and making snowmen, I don't believe I will ever grow out of that, lol. I guess feeling young and doing things we all love helps us to overcome the fact that we are getting older not younger. Some health issues that I have recently been diagnosed with makes me think back to when I was a child and sometimes wish I still was, they aren't life threatening heath issues but enough to make me think of what I should cherish and not take advantage of.


OK enough of the feel sorry for me crap, I am not feeling life threatening to myself tonight, so let me be happy. The peace and tranquil snow brightening up this dark night as I sit on my sofa gazing out the big picture window in my livingroom. The snugly fuzz from my Ohio State blankie makes me feel warm and cozy, my laptop and a cup of hot chocolate keep me focused for the time being. Oh wait! Its not the cold ass snow outside, or the fucking blanket, Its not even the hot chocolate that just burned my lip! Forget the laptop, I feel this way cuz my freaking meds are kicking in!

The End Will Come

Looking at the suck ass world around me, I realize that one day it will all come to an end, oh goody. God, I wish that day were now. I wonder if I will see that day, will it be soon or millions of years from now? Why the wait? Why not end it now? What are we actually living for anyways? Grow old, get wrinkled and then die, oh wow what a great accomplishment. Evolution, who needs it? Not I. It's the here and now, the wicked world in which we live, it's all we got. Live and enjoy life? Yea ok I would love to hear something other than enjoy your life, its the only one you got. Like I give two shits about mine, im taking antidepressants because my thereapist doesnt want me commiting suicide, so tell me why the hell one of the side effects of Sinequan are "may increase thoughts of suicide", nice and this is why I take it. Do I feel like killing myself? Not today, I would rather see the world end, but I doubt I would be so blessed.
