Hope springs eternal
Tough week, this past week, sometimes everything goes heywire, and at times like that I try to wrapp myself further in godly things and remember what Marjan says, that God is hope. I woke up last night, from a dream. I had dreamt that somehow I had cut my hair very short, like a buzz cut, and I had found out that I was all bald in the middle of my head, and on the left side, there was a clear patch of skin showing. I was shocked, but in the dream I was telling myself, that it was okey, it wasn't like I had lost a limb or something.
I woke up and went downstairs, and reminded myself , that every thing was OK, maybe not the best of times but it was not the worst either. I am alive, relatively healthy, I have a lovely healthy wife, and two healthy kids. You see it's the word HEALTHY, that was shining in my head, and I felt elated, somehow the weight was off my shoulders, and a nice certain energy was sipping into me.
So I sat down and tried to figure it out, kinda getting inventory of my life, over all I am an OK guy, may be not the best husband, and provider, but I think I am an OK daddy, and my kids adore me. there are things I do, my vices, I am not comfortable with them, so last night I gave them up, and made a deal with God, I will be a better person, or at least I will try. Afterward I felt better already and went back to sleep.
Saturday morning, as my usuall routine is I went to Dunkin Donut drive in, and ordered, "Large Regular Please", she said,"okay, drive up", and then I heard giggles in the background, I got to the window, and the girl I usually see handed me my coffee, she was blushing, and said sheepishly, " we look forward to hearing your voice every morning, all the girls here like it", and the other girls behind her, were giggling, the way young girls do. I said, " Thats nice to know for an old man like me". It was, and it is, and I know I would be more conscious now every time I order my coffee there.
I had seen the promo for the NBC's new series REVELETIONS, and I was not sold on it, although I am a fan of Bill pullman, I liked him a lot in WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING.and the movie INDEPENDENCE DAY, I also like the other lead Natascha McElhone, of Surviving Picaso, and Solaris fame. I caught some of it on Wednesday, and I liked it, the story was interesting, the acting superb, and the chemistry between the two leads was good. So last nigh they had an encore of it, and I watched it. It is a keeper, specially for Fans of Xfiles, looking for a well discripted, and made Mystery, it hits the spot. So watch it, and enjoy it.
We had a bit of meltdown last week in stock market, due mostly to the increasing cost of energy, and IBM's poor performance in first quarter. IBM has problems in it's European, and Japanies market which is 25% of its over all computer revenue, but it is taking stronger marketting actions to remedy that. On the other hand GE is reporting a much better than estimated income reports in nine of its Eleven companies. SO Please buy American and lets protect our industries. Stock market at these prices offers plenty of appotunity, since most stocks are under valued, and we are going trough a soft period in second quarter. So if you are in stock market, you might wanna take another look and buy buy and buy.
Last week, I spent two days travelling in my car and listened to the Radio, it seems there is an epidemic of young female teachers hooking up with their very young male students. I heared at least three different reports. Well getting it on with your teacher is a very basic and much returned to Male Fantasy, but it seems we did miss the boat, I still remember Miss Vaziri, my fifth grade elementry school teacher and I am sure most of my classmates also do. She was beautifull and made quite an impression on our young minds, and inspired our extra caricullar activities. Well, one of the female teachers id sued buy her fourteen years old lover, since she had the audisity of getting pregnant with his child, but still failed him in Social Sciences. well some teachers can not be bribed even with sexuall favors, so watch out, out there, you young Hyenas.
