Good God tell me about it!!!

As a young boy I hit golf balls from first light until it was dark. It was all I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I played until I was 23 and then figured that I had better go find a job because although I was a “scratch” player I wasn’t good enough to play professionally (it did get me into a college though.) But now the game bores me. I figure “so what the hell, am I really going to run around playing in amateur tournaments.. AGAIN?” And what I do for work is really stupid… like major corporations really need help paying less tax. Most have a global tax rate of 3 to 11% and if they pay 11% the tax directors are called on the carpet about why it is so high.

I do find that things weave in and out of life. I’ll always play golf a little even if I can’t stand it now, ride a bicycle, fly fish, backpack, chase women, play with knives, guns and cameras; and try and be funny for sanity’s sake. I don’t think there is any huge purpose for me to be on this earth other than to have a good time and enjoy life. I believe in god (but not religion) and I believe that if I have a good time enjoy what is here and just be a good guy along the way I’m doing what I’m suppose to do.

Anyway all I’m saying is what has worked for me (for 53 years) is to observe what comes my way and enjoy what is offered. Like this stupid cat I have here that can be a real joy if I just take the time to play with him. There are countless things like that dam cat if I take the time to see them. Flowers in the yard, the ocean, kids on the streets. I look forward to retiring from work so I can just go out and play.

Maybe it has been the time I have spent failing at taking a decent photo. All that time behind a camera makes me try and see things.

Actually I was at a Stephen King interview last week and he was kind of saying that over the course of the eveing.

If you have not done so read Lonsome Dove. It is the one book that you will enjoy reading for the journey and wish you'd never get to the end. :thumbup:

My girlfriend is a writter and she said that every book club she has ever had read that book rated it a 10. And those are all women reading a Western!! :eek: :eek:

Thanks, I'll look that book up. Just hope it doesn't get lost in the back log of books I have piling as we speak :o
 
I'm working on a briefing paper on the transfer of intangibles to foreign corporations.

That is running on the work computer and BF on my personal computer.

This is way more interesting.:p
 
dishes are way worse than laundry, sinks are designed for short housewives so my back gets sore stooping over that long washing dishes in sinks. they need to be a foot higher.

Tall people owed my home before me and all the counter tops are about four inches higher than standard. Although I'm 5'9" I like them. But my 5'4" girlfriend thinks they are too high. Good thing all the cutting boards pull out from the counters so they are a few inched lower.

The other solution is to have her wear four inch heels in the kitchen. Real HOT with the little maid uniform.:thumbup: :D
 
At 6'4", I really find it painful to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, which is ironic because I love to cook. The prep is killer on my lumbar region, though. I would KILL for 40" counters.
 
So whats everyone drinking tonight? Nothing special here but, a little Jim and Coke will do a body good;)
 
It's not so much the throwing in the machine, it's the fact that I live in an apartment without laundry hookups. So, laundry means having the lug everything to the laundrymat and I agree, folding SUCKS :(
