Monday Missive...

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Monday, July 21, 2008 25 Of Your Sparks

Hope y'all had a most wonderful weekend, because I surely did...

Friday was an enjoyable evening out to the local pub for a few beers and dinner with darlin' Nancy. Then home where we had a few more cocktails and watched some TV.

Saturday I went over to the gym ready for my first meeting with a trainer, but it was not to be...guess I misunderstood...anyway I took care of some other needs while Nancy was out on her daily run.

When she returned, we headed down to her home and took care of the dogs, then headed back to my place. We stopped and picked up some things for dinner and then got home.

Dinner was my Grandma Marini's Chicken and Onions...sauteed the chicken (breasts and thighs), then pile about 10 onions sliced thin on top and cover. let it cook on simmer for about 40 minutes and a wonderful au jus is formed and the onions just melt down until OH so yummy... I do mix in some sweet with yellow...

Also made some mashed potatoes and a chopped salad. While we ate we watched "Untraceable" with Diane Lane...a decent cyber/thriller. I also came across a leak under the kitchen sink...UGH...

Sunday we woke and I called in the repair and then headed over to the gym for my first meeting with the trainer. We spoke for a while, I answered a bunch of questions (lifestyle/diet/exercise)and then he showed me some core muscle "homework" exercises. Some I knew from the years of baseball...some I knew from living with a chronic pain sufferer for so many years and a few were new.


Mine Does Not Have An Escalator!

I am not going to make this a huge subject here until I get to where I want to discuss it again. Suffice it to say that some pictures were taken and some measurements as well. I will be charting the same monthly with a new picture taken each month.

Went home, took a shower and then headed to help Nancy with some shopping. We then ended up back at her home for a delicious pork chop dinner with steamed zucchini and baked yams.

We listened to our good friend Turnbaby on her BlogTalk Radio Show...As am sure many did, I had guessed her "Special Guest" and was happy to hear them together.

Then again...what is it with people who have no life of their own, so they find it their purpose in life to act 'holier than thou' and just make crude, unintelligible, sophomoric comments in chat and then by calling in? If there is something that bothers you, move on. No one makes you come to a blog or listen to a radio show, do they?


Is your meaningless life so void of any redeeming values that this is how you spend your Sunday evenings?????

CLIMBS DOWN OFF SOAP BOX.....ok, sorry....



I did almost no internet the whole weekend...never even sat at the computer Saturday and it was fun fun fun...

Sunday morning I did read/answer a ton of emails and also posted a bunch of comments and then responded to them.

The last week of the month I have to travel to Dallas on Monday, returning Tuesday. Nancy and the boys are going away for a few days on vacation that week, so I am considering taking Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off and doing something that has begun to poke at me again recently.

I am going to stay here, hit the shuffle on iTunes and write. "The Quest" is calling me again and I think this is a perfect opportunity to really focus on it and it alone for 5 - 8 hours a day.

IF I decide to do this, I will be taking a week off from blogging I will not be posting or reading. I want to work with a clear mind and not be reading your words, or using mine to do posts.

I figure depending upon the weather I can write inside (if raining or too damn hot), or outside by the pool.



Justin Timberlake hosting the ESPYS is really annoying....real dumb featurette inserting him into press conferences and sports plays.



My Yankees have come out of the All-Star break hot, winning three in a row and now only 4.5 games out of first place.




April 1st - April Fools Day - the location is Amsterdam, Netherlands. The band is Janis Joplin & The Kozmic Blues Band. The song is the incredibly-most excellent-brilliant "Summertime". It is most certainly the summertime here in Memphis, TN....

Funny...I did a Google search for Kozmic Blues Band and the best picture I find, I click on it and LOL...it is from The Couch! From our 9/24/2007 Tuneage Tutelage on Janis...LOL

ENJOY...

THREE DAY WEEKEND....

We get Monday off to celebrate Memorial Day. As such, there will not be a Monday Matinee. Not to say we won't do a post to honor the day...you'll just have to stop by to find out.. or not.. whatever...

PLEASE enjoy your family, your friends, your day. Be safe, and be defensive when on the roads all weekend.

There are those out there that do not care for anyone but themselves and they are a danger to all of you.

Why are there people who just do not give a damn how they treat others? That think that they are the center of the universe and they can get away with anything they want?

This actually has nothing to do with me other then we received a phone call from an old friend who put their faith and trust in another and have been abused by that person.

No concern over the well being of my friend or their family. This person took advantage of a situation and now refuses to take account of their actions. The excuses they have given are arrogant and egotistical.

We want to do something to help, but at this time, we do not have the opportunity except to be a shoulder. It is infuriating and painful all at once.

The slimy, disgusting cretin even has the nerve to threaten our friend with causing more hardships. We are not talking physical in nature but mental and financial hardships, which are just as disgusting and just as painful.

My brain can not get around this and all we think about is finding a way to make this person pay for their sins.

We very rarely rant like this about personal issues but we are just in such a state right now that it is all we can think about.

Sitting here writing and deleting...writing and deleting...writing and deleting...

Having fun watching this train wreck?

Our cousin Joyce wrote us and asked if we had a roommate since we are always using the pronoun "WE" - umm it is a pronoun right?, yeah...it is... - OK, well anyway it is something that just came about here on THE COUCH where we never use the word "I"...

Hey, didn't we just use it? Well yeah but not in the "I did this..." sort of way, we used it as an example so we really didn't use it in a sentence...

Did I mention that this is totally off the cuff tonight? Wait, did we just use the word "I" in a sentence? Let's go back and look......

YUP there it is! How the hell did that happen?

HEY MO, LIZZA, MATT-MAN, how the heck do you guys cross a word out in your posts?

We
(phew, almost typed that one letter word again... guess our mind is elsewhere, we better be careful tonight..) have tried to figure out how you do it, but have not figured it out yet.

You guys holding out on me? See, we do use the pronoun - that is a pronoun too right?... oh heck, sure it is - , "ME" but not that other one letter word.

[couchdivider.gif]

And while we are on that subject, how is one letter a word? By definition, shouldn't a word have more than one letter?

Why do I feel like if we look in the mirror at this second, we would see a bald head, a goatee and be holding a bottle of Wild Irish Rose?

Not like that is a horrible thing, but we do like our hair, and never looked good in a goatee and really have never liked Wild Irish Rose...hummm... does that make it a bad thing then?

We were going to go back and see if that little one letter word snuck in again, but we are afraid that if we find one our head might explode... OH yeah, we use "OUR" also... - another pronoun folks - ...

Ummm OK, why did we talk about looking in the mirror and seeing that vision? Well because this feel like a Friday Steam of Consciousness and that belongs to this guy who lives in Ohio... but hey, he is a friend and friends share... ummm don't they?

[couchdivider.gif]

The train has come off the tracks Lucy, what do we do now?

Guess we should just grab this bottle of Wild Irish Rose and figure out how that other guy stops these things...

no, not WIR, where is the Gentleman Jack?

Well it is the unofficial start of summer, so maybe we can ease out slowly this way....
