300th post boo ya

That's right today's post is my 300th post. Granted this one should have happened probably a week ago if I posted regularly. Anyway I love posted. I really think it keeps me from going insane and pointing out red flags for myself. Plus like I said before when I see something that's unfair or unjust and I can't fix it, I get really frustrated. At least this way I get people thinking about it. It may get it fixed in a round about way.
Speaking of getting things fix we need to fix Obama. The country truly needs campaign Obama. The one who promised us changed and would do whatever he could to fix it. Well presidential Obama keeps giving in. The fact that the republicans took over the house does not mean all hope is lost. He has the biggest microphone of all. If he would point out what the republicans are doing people would have a more favorable impression of him. People liked him because he talked to them. Didn't talk down to them. He needs to do that again. If the republicans want to keep the tax cuts going for the richest 2% then he needs to go out and talk about it. Say hey everyone my opponents want to keep those tax cuts for the richest 2%. Well I'm looking out for the 98% of you. Not only that want to know what one of these people would be paying in taxes without a tax cut. Then explain how long it would take to lower the deficit with that one person. Then say now imagine if everyone that makes that much or more paid their fair of taxes. He really does need to talk to us the people. Every time the republicans bring up something about unemployment or social security point it out. But if he just gives in in 2 years he will be eaten alive for sure. Wish he would grow a pair and be campaign Obama once more.
Well looks like the Vikings are having just a bit of problems. I didn't get to see the game because I was working, but I saw that the Vikings were down 3-7 then a little later I saw they were down 14-21 I believe. Well sounds like Farve truly is having second thoughts about coming back. Didn't I call that? Didn't I say that if the Vikings started to go down he would say that it wasn't a good decision. Pretty soon I'm sure he will say it's all Childress' fault for bringing him back. The players are really turning on him too. I really wonder what's going to happen this Sunday. Not only do the Vikings face the Packers, but the Packers had a bye on Sunday. That means the Packers are fresh. Plus how the Vikings are blowing up on each other I wonder how they will play. Sounds like the players don't like Childress which doesn't help them. I really wonder. Good luck Vikings.
Today instead of a tip I got some sarcasm for you. I saw this today on the way to the gym. running against traffic when it's dark out is a great way to be blinded by headlights. I'm sure nothing bad would happen then.

It's....monday

Yep my week begins all over again. Pretty soon my b-day will be a month away and I still have no clue what in the world I'm doing for it. I mean the sad part is that I hinted to that co-worker of mine that my b-day is on the 1st of October, but of course he didn't bite. Figured he at least get something going. Might just end up sitting at home or going to get a new tattoo. Meh got almost a month to figure it out.
So I just now realized I haven't done something positive with my blog. I do a lot of complaining, but I actually haven't congratulated some people that really deserve it. The people I'm talking about are those everyday people that get up out of bed to go walking. The people that have a weight bench and some dumbbells in their basement. The people that said I'm taking charge of my life. I'm going to lose this weight. Those people really don't get the encouragement they deserve. It's so easy to jump on a bandwagon when someone has lost 50 lbs and say oh wow you look so good. How many of us actually acknowledge that someone is actually taking the right steps to begin losing that 50 lbs. How many of us say wow are you starting to lift weights. I can tell your starting to fill out. I'll tell you how many of us do. 1 in 100. Ok it may not be that low, but not a lot of us do it. Yeah now I'm starting to hear from my friends yeah you look like you've put on a lot of weight or wow you look huge. Now granted they haven't seen me recently because they are back in Texas and I'm in Wisconsin and it's not like I take a photo of me everyday to post on facebook, but honestly it would have made this a whole lot better. It's so easy for people to get discouraged. Every small bit of encouragement helps. Keeps people going on the right path. Plus when someone tells you they lost 5 lbs or even 2 lbs congratulate them. Tell them they are on the right path. They are making the right steps. That will keep them going until they hit that goal.
Alright back to my ranting. Yeah the people that workout on Sundays at my gym are jerks. They always leave the weights out or don't put stuff back the way they should. I go to the back and there is a mat just laying there along with a barbell that still has weights attached to it. How do you do that. How do you not put the weights back where they belong. I mean I understand if you need to go pee or if you are going to wipe down the bench then put up the weights. That makes sense. Now obviously this person isn't getting injured every time, and if they are then clearly they need to stop working out. I mean I don't want the gym to have to hire someone to just stand back there and make people re-rack weights because that means I have to pay more per month. Just wish people would have the common decency to simply put the weights back after they are done. Forgetting as you move to another exercise is one thing, but leaving them in a spot where you can clearly see you left them is another.
The other annoying thing I see is people who blindly elect officials. There is a guy who represents my county in the state capitol and he has gotten in trouble for taking money out of a government trust and using it to repair the stadium for the minor league team he owns. He claims he has returned the money. Now we find out it's actually double what was originally thought. Ok I don't care if he returned the money. I care that he took in the first place. I know the only reason why he admitted it is because someone caught him and if he didn't he'd be thrown out of office. Yet I still see signs for him in people's yards. Why do you want a man who took money to keep his job. Don't re-elect him. Then again these are the same people that say Nixon was a great president and did nothing wrong, but that Clinton did something unforgivable. Let's see Nixon resigned and had to be pardoned. Clinton was impeached, faced trial, and was found innocent. Hmmm I wonder which one did something that was unforgivable. This blind voting is what got us into the mess in congress. They let officials that have not done what the people say keep their jobs. Vote them out. I don't care if a guy is a Democrat or Republican. If he took government money then he is not to be trusted and should be thrown out of office.
I'm sure you all have heard California Gurl by Katy Perry. Well that song has been in my head since this morning at the gym. Plus I saw The Wiz yesterday and it reminded me of this music video. Anyway so enjoy. Today's tip is if you are already talking about Halloween stuff then clearly you don't understand the order of the months. It's not even a month away.
