Stick season

 Its been a few months now but the pain has barely faded at all.  Most of the time I'm able to distract myself and not think about it but sometimes life has other plans.  

I was listening to Spotify and it added a song to my playlist that I hadn't heard before.  Its called Stick Season by Noah Kahan of whom I've never heard.  It's an earworm about a man who lost a woman he loved by his own mistakes.  To say it hit close to home would be an understatement.  I'm trying to navigate my way through this and its not easy.  The irony of being struck in a relationship where I was miserable and I couldn't get out it fast enough and my ex who spent a year trying to pull me back in then going to a relationship that was actually healthy and the best one I've ever had only to lose it borders on cosmic cruelty.  I would be cruel were I not to blame.  

A few of the lyrics were so poignant and heartfelt and resonated with me so strongly that I wanted to post a few of the lines here.


And I'll dream each night of some version of you
That I might not have, but I did not lose...And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
...No, I am no longer funny, 'cause I miss the way you laughYou once called me forever, now you still can't call me back
And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
Oh, that'll have to doMy other half was youI hope this pain's just passin' throughBut I doubt it

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
