LONGWALKABOUT

The meanderings of a restless soul. (it's a lot less serious than it sounds)

Tuesday Thoughts

  • I have decided that anyone who claims to enjoy preseason football is either lying, or not a well balanced human being.  No one, not even players and coaches, enjoys preseason football.
  • A statue has been commissioned to celebrate Tom Cruise’s 25 years in Scientology.  It’s,,,,,,,,,,well,,,,,, let’s just say it’s interesting.  I hope that my church someday puts up a statue of me.  I won’t hold my breath, though.  Adventism is not a very statuey religion.  If it ever were to happen, though, I can picture it in my head.  It would be bronze and about nine feet tall.  It would depict me sleeping in a church pew, and include an inscription on the base that informed everyone how the religion as a whole was slightly disappointed in me.
  • Movie recommendation of the week:  Oblivion.  Tom Cruise really is one of the last true movie stars.  Trust me, it’s cool.
  • Coffee is good.
  • We recently eliminated cable in our house.  Not because we are superior people, just because we were tired of paying for it.  Now we rely on streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon for entertainment.  I don’t miss the cable at all.  I’ll be buying an HD antenna so I can get the networks for football season.  You may say. “Don’t you miss having cable news? How do you stay informed of all the awful things going on in the world?”  Well, I’ve come up with a solution for that too.  I just hop on Donald Trump’s Facebook page to find out everything I need to know.  For instance, this week I learned that the debate moderators were very unfair to the Donald, and that everyone else is a horrible candidate.
  • Political observation of the week:  Some of the GOP candidates that are lagging behind in the polls might want to consider taking verbal shots at Rosie O’Donnell in the next debate.  It might help them out.  Also, it would be super entertaining to see Mike Huckabee and Lindsey Graham making fun of Rosie.
  • Every time I watch Phineas and Ferb with the kids (who am I kidding, I watch Phineas and Ferb without the kids too, I love that show), it makes me feel like I haven’t accomplished nearly enough on summer vacation.
  • Today the boys and I went to two grocery stores, Barnes and Noble, and the library, all in an hour and a half.  World record?  Maybe.
  • Now that I have streaming services, it’s time to introduce the kids to MacGyver.  Let it never be said that my children are uncultured.

Opening Salvo

Okay, so now I have a blog.  I would like to welcome the three of you who are reading  this on purpose, and the one person who ended up here accidentally. Henry David Thoreau said that “the masses of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”  Thoreau was one of my heroes.  The guy spent a […]
