• Well, after 15 months, we finally have replaced our toilet tank lid! As
  you probably don’t know, some 15 months ago, my brother broke our
  toilet tank lid. I know it sounds like a long time, but they don’t sell
  lids by themselves, or at least they are hard to find. People have said
  we should of just bought a new toilet, but we like the old fashioned
  large ones and those are not sold anymore. Anywho, our neighbor was
  getting rid of his toilet, so we got it from them. Now, doesn’t fit
  perfectly over the back of the toilet, in fact, its just shaped
  slightly different, but it gets the damn job done. We no longer have a
  ghetto-ass, redneck toilet. Or, is the fact that its not the right size
  even more ghetto-ass, rednecky? Damn, I probably shouldn’t even be
  using those terms, especially after my last post.

  I was driving today thinking about the Metric system. If other
  countries have it, then what is the system we have called? I know there
  is a name for it, I have heard it, but don’t remember? Should we just
  call it “The Other System”? I know a lot of people think we should just
  fall in line with the rest of the world and go metric, but honestly, I
  say, why? In theory, it might make sense, but fuck it. Its our country
  and we can use “The Other System” if we want. Honestly, it should be
  about freedom of choice. I mean, what are they going to do, invade our
  country and force the metric system on us? This is democracy, that
  would sorta be like us invading another country and forcing a democracy
  on………….oh, nevermind.

  The Cubs pissed me off tonight. Its not like this was a heartbreaking
  loss. Instead, it was a pissed off loss. I had a feeling they would
  lose a game to Houston, who, going into tonight, was 2-21 on the road.
  Obviously, this was a series they should have swept, and being the
  Cubs, they lost one of the games. They had a chance to get on a roll.
  Next they play a 4 game set against the Rockies , who have only 3 road
  wins this year. If the Cubs were a good team, they would win all 7
  games. As it stands, they will probably lose at least one to the
  Rockies. They just could not do anything offensively tonight, it was
  quite pathetic. It was a quick game, though, only about 2 1/2 hours. I
  love quick games. And they are so much better when the Cubs win
