I'm a bad blogger
Been too busy at work lately, and have not been a good blogger. Lots on mind though - anything certain people want to read about?
- My support for Obama - yes, I'm hoping to get to vote for him in November.
- I'm tired of Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, and any other "family" organization that reduces Christian and politics down to two issues.
- Sarah's birthday. Big birthday, and I feel if I don't step it up, it is going to be a very long next decade.
- Favorite CD's I own - I've thought about a top ten list of CD's I own.
Anything else? I could write about anything - paint drying, Bolivia, whatever. Any thoughts?

Traffic lights
So Sarah and I went to the cities this weekend.
Living in a small town, I don't spend much time at traffic lights. There is one light in our entire county. Alexandria has some lights, but they move rather quickly.
These couple of days in the cities, I feel as if I've spent approximately 30% of my time sitting at traffic lights.
Those who lives in metropolitan areas, do you get used to it, or do you have growing angst about the amount of time spent waiting your turn in life.
I do dig all the shopping and restaurants though. One day we'll trade in small town living for bookstores and seafood.

Pregnant
No - not the Murphy's - the lady on Wheel of Fortune tonight.
Or was she? I said "hey, the pregnant lady is cleaning house". Sarah told me she wasn't pregnant she was just wearing a shirt with an empire waist. Why ladies would you do that? I do not understand.

Cease and desist
While Beef Trifle very much enjoys being linked to from other blogs, we must request the great blog Schneid Remarks to remove either the link to Beef Trifle, or the link to Ann Coulter.
Seriously. Ann Coulter? A smart lady such as yourself?

Indiana is under attack
I guess the gays are on the march again and going after married couples in Indiana. It is tough to see, really, and I wonder how many married couples might seek divorce because of the possibility that, let me phrase it how my good buddies at Focus on the Family phrased it..."it is only a matter of time before an activist judge in some court case somewhere in Indiana rules in such a way that will usher in gay 'marriage'".
According to the Indiana Family Institute, "Indiana's data on divorce is so flawed that it does not bother to report it." So while it appears that the attack is real, and the consequences are brutal, nobody really cares to keep track.
Let me tell you that Beef Trifle is here for you. If you feel that the gays are attacking your marriage, and that the sanctity of your union is being threatened, please let me know and I'll try to bring attention to the issue through my five or so loyal readers.
In the mean time, according to Wikipedia, the country has about 750,000 homeless people. Too bad they didn't threaten the sanctity of marriage. Then all of us good Christians might give a damn.

Tomorrow is another day
Hope your day didn't suck.
I woke up a bit depressed, but not about the economy or credit card bills from Christmas. The cold weather has been beating me down, yes, but other than that, only two things are really beating me down these days.
1) I have roughly 35 years until retirement. Given social security's condition, 40-45 years is probably more realistic. That is, unless I slip and fall at the right fast food restaurant. And tying right into that...
2) I have a bad feeling the country is going to be run by either a flip-flopping, elite, smooth talking businessman or a person who doesn't seem to believe power belongs to the people, but rather, that is belongs solely in her family. Plus, she appeals most strongly to old, white women - which I am not.

Beef Trifle
Beef Trifle, a tasty little treat. From one of the greatest shows of all-time, Friends, Beef Trifle is the result of a Rachel cooking disaster. When two pages of the cookbook stuck together, the dish combined beef, jam, and custard. Beef Trifle was the result.
No matter what your taste buds desire, beef trifle can deliver. And that is what my blog will attempt to do. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. This blog has no focus except for what has recently flown to the top of my mind.
Best case scenario of this blog? Fans flock to the site...I hit my potential for being witty...somebody forwards this to Letterman and I land a job as a writer (where I'll subsequently go on strike)...millions of dollars results, and I get to reward all my friends who helped me in my ascension.
What will probably happen? I'll come out hot and heavy with a lot of posts. I will attract of loyal following of roughly five people, most with my same last name. As my work heats up, this blog will slow down and one day will fade away to nothingness.
Worst case scenario? I make fun of George Bush, and under the Patriot Act, I get thrown in a secret prison, tortured, "prosecuted", and instead of deported - sent to live somewhere terrible - like Atlanta.
