Way way too long of a blog!

Got carried away - I'm stuck in my room as "they" are installing a new floor.
------------------------------ 

I was reading a blurb of a photographer that was describing her "vision" of her art work.  It reads:

I approach 21st century photography with the sensibility and aesthetic of a 19th century photographer. By employing the best characteristics of both eras, I create anachronistic images of “in-between” spaces.

What the fuck? I don't have a clue what that means! Do people talk that way?  When I'm doing an art fair is this how I should talk?  I would LOVE to memorize this and say it the next time someone asks me about my work.  "I create anachronistic images of “in-between” spaces."  "I create anachronistic images of “in-between” spaces."

I think if a person said this three times he could get an aneurism. Someone would find me on the floor of my display with blood dripping out of my ear. They would ask "what were his last words" and someone would say "He said something about in-between space?".


I was in Sun Prairie Saturday at their art fair and early in the day this older retired guy comes along and he is gushing over my images and talking about my composition and complementing me all over the place and then turns to me and says:

"But I gotta be straight with you, I'm REALLY getting tired of all of these bright colors, I know you are just trying to sell your work. What do you think? "

ummmmm - well? What do I think? ummmmmm -  I like it!  I do what I like.  If people don't like it then I go broke and never sell again.  He was a retired painter. Perhaps he can't afford all the colors and only uses primary colors. 

Then a family from Fall River were gushing and spent a LOT of time looking. They talked and finally tried to save me. The were with some church.  A while later another pretty cool dude came in and we talked a lot and finally he said he was a preacher visiting the area and wanted to save me (not his words).  I'm pretty anti-church.  I feel the church is just a giant scam.  I'm NOT anti religion.   I have no problem with true religion, you know, people doing good things to their fellow man, not just going to church and saying you are good.  The weird thing was this was the first guy I had ever talked to that I would actually consider going to see him.

Plus he had an awesome cool card.  He was my Reverend Tim Tom. (if you don't know who Reverend Tim Tom don't worry).  

I don't understand neo-cons who go to church and believe they are religious, but hate gay people.  DON'T GET ME STARTED!

In sports - Wisconsin sucked but that was expected.  I bet against them for so many reasons is was silly.  The biggest is the Russell Wilson effect.  He was MUCH more important to Wisconsin then most people want to admit.   Monty Ball came out of nowhere BECAUSE of Wilson (now a starting NFL QB).  Then another big trend are new coaches on the road for the 1st time.  Everything is different, routines are off and just the fact that the Badgers had to take an hour bus ride to GET to the stadium was weird.  Bet against the Badgers until they prove they can beat the spread. 

The Packers - well, they WERE playing the 49ers.  Losing is not THAT surprising. But it does make the Bear game Thursday pretty important.

My fantasy football team totally sucked but I DID have the 4th highest total in the league, sadly the guy I'm playing against had the most points and STILL has 2 guys playing tonight!  Wilson was poor (point wise) but Fitzpatrick was just as bad. 

Fantasy baseball I went 2-8 against the 1st place team but I STILL came in 2nd and have a bye week in the 1st round of the playoffs. 

My Confidence league$.   I'm in 2nd in one and I think dead last in the other.  College games crushed me.   Way to many upsets.  Weeks like this the poor pickers win.

I'm living in chaos.  This is our kitchen today which now contains the living room. 

And the living room, hallways and everything else contain . . . . nothing. 

Soon red oak floors. 

I'll spend the next week reinstalling our 7.1 (seven speaker 1 subwoofer)  Home Theater.  I had half the cords taken out before I thought I should take a photo of the back for reference.

What I'm worried about are all the cords that were hooked up to equipment on one end but not the other end.   The roads to nowhere.

Been watching REVENGE. What a wonderful show, that and Mad Men and we are re watching Downton Abby.

Right leaning citizens need not read any further.

Seems the party of hate is losing to the party of hope. (polls are really trending towards Obama who has a 80.7% chance of winning now). While the GOP stomp there feet saying we hate Obama, we hate gay people, we hate woman, we hate everybody that do not agree with us, but we LOVE big business and rich people and tax cuts to the wealthy and we totally love screwing old people and the poor (after all the poor do not help bring jobs). 

We love how everybody forgot that we almost tanked America and how America was losing 60,000 jobs a month, banks were failing right and left, auto plants were closing and going belly up and basically the economy was in free fall. What was the GOP answer?  Just let it go, no worries.  It'll fix itself. 

hmmm font changed . . . .

OH - seems the Russians also HATE Romney (that's always good for foreign policy).  Russian newspapers are ripping Romney a new ass-hole.

In Pravda"  To say that Romney and his Republican brethren are a danger to world peace would be an understatement. Their "ultra-conservative" views and stances on a number of issues will bring about another era of neo-conservative subjugation for the American people and the world and their backward thinking and confrontational posturing will destroy much of the delicate compromise that has kept the world stable for the last four years...

Romney is a bumbling buffoon. He visits the Olympics and insults the hosting country, good grief.  

 I WISH the GOP and their followers (zealots?) would have picked someone who was in touch with the rest of the country.  As I have stated, I'm a social liberal but tend to be more conservative financially.  I'm like how the Republicans USED to be before they went all crazy and neo-conish.
