I Despise the Saying, "It Is What It Is."

I despise the saying, "It is what it is." Bad. I don't know why, but when people use it, it drives me up a wall.
Maybe I just disagree with the philosophy or the logic behind it. It's makes it seem like someone or something is resigned to fate. I'll stand by, "It's never what it is." And if something isn't how you like it, you go out and fix it.
So, if you're around me, please don't use it. It might make me want to strangle you.

I Need to Get a Woman...

...After buying my brother's ticket for the Jamey Johnson concert last night, see review below. He bought six bottles and a pitcher of beer and said he couldn't remember much from the later part of the concert. Glad I wasted my money, so he could waste a bunch of his...
   Or I just need to stop taking him places where he can afford alcohol...

I'll Never Date a Woman Who Pays $10 For Beer

As I talked about at the Bob Seger concert in the post below, people were buying multiple glasses of beer at $10 bucks a pop. And I just thought this to myself later, "there's no way I could date a girl who would pay that." I don't care if she drinks or not, it's just the principle behind it. How could I be with someone who could justify spending that? Maybe it's just a psychosis of my thought process or more likely my conservative nature, but it doesn't matter, we wouldn't be compatible.

The only loophole in this is if she is loaded financially.

A Dream and Proverbs

A week or two ago during one of my dreams, I had someone telling me to pay attention or something about a verse from Proverbs. I couldn't remember if it was Proverbs 8:5 or Proverbs 5:8. A lot of my dreams are partially surreal. Things are never exactly like they are in real life, there is always some details which are different. And I tend to jump from one setting to another out of nowhere.
But I did end up remembering that dream the other day. I think the person telling me, was a guy I work with, who hadn't started on my line yet. But I went and looked up the verses, first 8:5, "You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding." I like to think I've got a pretty good handle on that...
For 5:8, "Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house," which after reading the heading at the start is about adultery. And the metaphor is pretty clear. And I think I have an even better handle on this one....or at least I hope so....

We're officially back to not giving a shit about soccer

Let the Europeans and other nations have their sport of flopping, wasting time and offsides.
