fuck, it has been a long time. um, moved to a new nice, big house. just in time for a new kid on the way.
government shutdown. i personally don't give a fuck. what i hate is having to hear about it. it could have been avoided. all the republicans had to do is shut the fuck up. but they are politicians. they don't know how to shut the fuck up. it doesn't matter if they have no formed opinion or working knowledge of a given topic. they will talk their tits off for 21 hours straight just because they are getting paid.
but in the end, i am not worried about long-term effects. there will not be any. my retirement accounts have not been affected in any way, and that is all i care about. besides, since the 70s, no government shutdown has lasted more than three weeks. i can ride that out. jesus christ, i wish there were other interesting things going on in the country.
the only reason i keep hearing about it is because people get paid to talk about and fill in their word count writing about it. the only outlet i pay attention to with regards to the shutdown is comedy central from 11:00 pm to 11:59 pm. i am also forced to read some stupid shit that one of my so-called facebook "friends" posts along with some dumb picture accompanied by blatant politically-biased text. i thought the internet was supposed to be an outlet for original thinking, not a re-hashing of some retard's political savvy.
oops, sorry, wife. i meant to say "some mentally-challenged person's political savvy." actually, NO I DIDN'T! to all my readers, please understand that i do not use the word "retard" to describe someone who has a mental handicap. i use the word "retard" to describe someone who should do their job intelligently enough given their credentials, but utterly and epically fails, you know, like most people use the word. i use the word usually to describe the one person who is pissing me off at the moment. while my wife was pregnant the first time, the word "retard" was generally directed at the hospital administration and billing department. as proof of this, i received a letter from my health insurance company last february saying that the hospital never billed the health insurance company for the delivery after a whole year, and the window expired. that is one baby delivery that the hospital is never getting paid for now. i'm sure as shit not paying for it. we gave them the insurance info. it's their fault for not claiming it. hence, they are retards.
