I got up this morning, showered, had breakfast, got dressed, and turned on the TV for some early morning news. The first thing that came up was cartoons, so I checked the next few channels. Wholey crap! There is nothing but cartoons on almost every channel. The channels that don't have cartoons, have some religious program, or have infomercial advert programs. Why doesn't some network put at least some news on at this time of day? Oh sure, I know it's a Saturday, and EVERYBODY wants their little brat (or rug-rat) to be baby-sat by the boob-tube, but what about the adults???? I like a little blood and guts in the morning, and watching the news is my 'fix' for the day. Now I can hear your thoughts from here. You're saying: 'Well what about CNN?'. Ok, fair enough, I like CNN. The problem here, is that we don't have cable TV supplied to our neighborhood. Some idiot didn't contact the cable TV company in time to supply cable TV. ALL of our neighbors have satellite TV, but I don't. I have to admit that I am in CNN withdrawl. It's very sad. Oh sure, I could go on the Internet, and go to the CNN web site, but it just isn't the same. I miss the booming voice that says: 'This is CNN!'. I guess that I'll have to go through Breaking News therapy...

 
After having a late brunch, which consisted of peanutbutter, jam, and a three slices of balony, I was ready to get on the Internet. Outside I can hear the WHOMP-WHOMP-WHOMP of heavy duty construction equipment, pounding the pavement flat. As I look out of my window, I can see that a team of county workers replacing the neighborhood's water pipe, for the third time this year! It seems that someone had the workers install the water valve backwards... This means that if there is a sudden pressure spike, some homes might have their smaller water pipes burst, and have their house flooded. The house that I live in has maximum flood insurance coverage, but I don't know if it has 'Stupid County Worker' coverage... I'll have to check that one out later.

 
Across the street the latest group of building are being built. It’s almost an old folks home, where the geriatric generation will stay, until they are moved to a real old folks home. At this place they have their own rooms, bathrooms, laundry area, and access to basic cable TV. I don’t know if they are permitted to have pets, but I suppose if they’re blind, then it would seem likely. City gangs race their cars past this area, and in the middle of the night. I can hear vandals breaking new windows, and light fixtures. The developer will hire off duty policemen to patrol the area in unmarked cars. I hope they catch someone red-handed. What this street needs is a couple of speed bumps, to slow down the gang members, as well as the flow of traffic in general. I would much rather have an old folks home, as opposed to a gang infested drug area.

 
After getting up at some unGodly hour, probably 9am, I am finally awake enough to know that I need caffeine. I get out of bed, avoiding tangling my legs in the sheets, and falling head first towards the floor, like I did last week. I leave my bedroom, and stumble down the hallway, like a zombie in rehab. My mouth needs a serious shot of mouthwash, and my face needs cold water. I grab the mouthwash, and manage to get most of it in my mouth. Swish-swish-swish, spit. Ok, now the face. I turn the water tap on, and slap my face with two wet hands, nearly knocking me to the floor. I dry off, and head back down the hallway, and head toward the kitchen. I open up a cold 2-liter bottle of generic soda-pop, and pour myself a full glass. Yes, I am the poster child for healthy living... I pause for a moment, and gulp down the entire glass of pop, after which I let out a loud BURP! The cat, who has been waiting patiently for breakfast, runs away and gives me a dirty look. I'm almost amused, but not quite. Suddenly the 'Call Of Nature' summons me to a different part of the house, and stumble back down the hallway. The cat runs the other way.

 
Okay, let's start this puppy up, and see if flies... Here I am, sitting in front of my computer, listening to the TV. I have the sound turned way down to increase my concentration while typing. During commercials I turn the sound down to zero, because most advertisers treat the public like brain-dead idiots. And let's face it, only a small percent of viewers are actually brain-dead... LOL Outside of my door, I hear the cat begging me to open the door. I really should install a cat door bell, however, cats only get insulted by them. I should log off now, and return to writing web pages. I use computers and the Internet to unwind, when I'm stressed and have a lot on my mind. I guess I don't have any social life to speak of, and it doesn't look too bright in the near future. But hey, it's only me, and that's just life. Bummer.
