Fartunate

So whataya getting for Christmas this year??  What did you ask for??  What do you think you will get?? When I was younger I think the thing I had anxiety about was just what I would get for Christmas, and mostly the reason I might have felt that way was after you have gone through enough of them, you begin to realize that when you have one and then another brother that you will be more than likely getting the same thing in triple.. Times three we did and it made for looking like we were getting a lot for Christmas but in reality we never got a huge amount.. As we all got older we got our own toys and less three things.. In fact there were years where we got one thing for all three of us, the Lego bricks come to mind.. For whatever the reason I really got into Lego bricks and would build things for hours..  This brings me to the topic, the little guy, the nephew.. Last weekend just like every play date we had with him prior, he comes in and the strange part of his playing is what I always talk about after he leaves.. When I was little we had this drawer in a desk that mom put some of our toys into and I would go over to it and would look through it scrounging for "that toy"  or if it wasn't there I would look in the toy box, pretty much the same way as the drawer, look for it, really scrounge.. Well Ian isn't that way.. He will grab a basket of his toys and pick it up and DUMP THE WHOLE THING.. And not usually the one, he will dump everything.. The hotwheels/matchbox cars/trucks will all get dumped.. The wood train set gets dumped.. Everything gets dumped out, but not  at the same time if we can keep from it.. So we ask him what he wants for Christmas and he says a tractor and a car and then......... EVERYTHING..  Yeuuup  saw that one coming up the pike..  So I did recon an the 'mart the other day and could see toys that were perfect for...  well    for someone.. See I am yet to see him sit down and actually play with something for very long.. Is this ADD  or something??  I don't think it is but he doesn't play like I remember playing.. I would play in or sand box for hours on end... Anyway every toy I saw was perfect to play with, so many toys, so little time I guess..

Something I haven't written about in a while; the Lucy situation.. Well that isn't really true, I've written about the situation with her, I just haven't pushed "publish" with any of it.. Will the entry (entry from hell) ever see the light of day?? * It took a step closer today with Christmas getting right close to happening.. And the truth is the entry isn't bad in my books, I feel like she has probably told all of their friends what a overall piece of shit/asshole I am.. I try not to let it bother me and mom says she doesn't let it bother her but it does bother her more and more all the time.. When she talked to Donald a couple weeks ago she did break down but you know, she wants the family to be together not just at the holidays but ALL THE TIME..  He told her we hold on to things like that (the blowup) and told us that he and Lucy can have a near knock down drag out brawl and then she goes into the bedroom and half an hour later she is fine..  I find that one hard to believe, because tonight I did try to talk to her but she said nothing in response so I figured "A number one asshole am I"... That's ok, That's alright..  The day is coming where that will either change.. or it won't... I'm ready for this snit to be over.   Burp the baby and get over it...  Anyway.. What else was I gonna say..

Anyone who looks at my Facebook might notice the "likes" section has grown a lot.. And through my trimming of the RSS pages I put some on the Facebook and as much as I can will be on Twitter and so Twitter has grown nearly doubled in the amount I follow there.. More than likely will be twice the number by the time it is over and done with..  in other words close to four thousand follow.. Still hoping to have ten percent following me when I get there, that would put the number nearly four hundred.. The one strange thing I have noticed recently is some of the sites have the four sites that are used the most common, they are Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and the strangest of them all   MySpace.. It was so strange to see Myspace be on some sites but as I am doing this the number of Myspace sites are increasing.. Supposedly the site is revamped and is doing a "by invitation" type of thing like Google did with their Google plus (+) site.. But all I have to say is don't screw people around too much, they will not like that.. It took me three times to get an invite and when I got there shortly the excitement wore off.. The new wore off although I do visit there once in a while, the joke is on them, they waited to long to start people getting signed up automatically when starting a Google account of any kind..


I'm watching Third Rock From The Sun (repeats) two a night and have to re watch some of them, when I snooze I lose.. That was just one of the most off the wall funny shit shows out there.. I'll get some of my favorite clips loaded up here in the next day or two..  Last nights "manly" show was just  too ass funnier then shit.. 

Count down to Roku.. Sometimes I hate to know what I am getting for Christmas, but this year I know.. And so I am preparing for either disappointment or whatever.. Pre own troubleshooting like this and maybe that is good.. I have several sites that have things to watch for including Roku itself a forum for people who are having troubles.. Some (most) are from the older models.. Seems like Roku are doing what dish does with their customers, when they get a new receiver they make everyone buy it, and the thing with that is how fast technology is changing.. Case in point, the dvr that we have our own cable tv company trying hard to make everyone get, they are becoming obsolete.. Dvr's record the shows to be watched later.. Roku doesn't record, it streams from a site that has the show you want to watch and you can watch it when you want to.. i know you can do that with a dvr and you can hold it indefinitely but then again can you??  You have to watch it fairly quick, you only have a certain amount of space on the hard drive where on the Roku there is no space limitations..  That just blew me away when I read that.. Anyway..  nine days & counting...

(P.S.  *The date for the entry to be seen right now will be set on the eighth of January... I figure why not show my cobbled together memory of the BS.. Maybe it will be wrong to do but I will put it up here and let the crap fall where it might..  But there's always the possibility that everything will be fine and the holidays will be alright.. Doubtful but you never know..)
