General Musings

Good day my friends...I figured to spice things up a bit, rather than just post on one topic I would simply rant about a bunch of different topics...
  • Please Wait


So for those of you who live in Maryland, do you find it completely frustrating that you are required to wait for just about everything!? I mean let's get serious here, is it actually required. It's like if you want to go to dinner, you have to plan an additional hour of waiting time just to sit around and wait for a table. So of course there's the normal waiting...I call Verizon, and I'm told to please wait and remain on the line for the next representative. (that's of course after pressing #2 for English...wait...when did we get to pressing #1 for Spanish and #2 for English???...oh wait wrong rant!) Or waiting for traffic...how long will it take to get from the Shell station to 270 which is only about 300 yards away...5 minutes I sit on the ramp!! Or, better yet, I wait in line for literally 10 minutes at the store to buy tomatoes and cheese...(why doesn't Safeway have self-checkout by now...are they waiting for Giant to go out of business??) Why is it, when I went to the doctor last week, my appointment was for 8am...why is the nurse asking me back and 8:55?? Does all of this sound unreasonable? Am I expecting the same type of service in 2008 that I got in 1990? I understand there is growing population...do doctors overbook and have gone the way of the airlines. (explain to me, do they overbook thinking people won't show up, just in case??) Am I to forever be in a line for one thing or another...I mean at least at Disney I get to have the stew scared out of me on some roller coaster after waiting in line...what do I get here, food?

  • "The Slowskys"







By now you all have seen the commerical for the Slowskys...those are those turtles that have Verizon...(http://www.theslowskys.com/) They are the ones that hate fast Internet speeds. The Slowskys are Bill and Karolyn and both my wife and I have made fun of my parents for a while now for being a member of the Slowsky family. (they have DSL and yes we did actually call them Bill and Karolyn, I know ironic names right?) Well I knew that one day my sense of humor would creep on me and bite me right in the butt! Well folks, we have now joined the Slowsky family! (Fios at least!) So I've been with Comcast as long as I can remember. In fact, I was with them when there was no Comcast and there was only "Montgomery Cable". Slowly the bills have gone higher and higher and just as we moved last month and wanted to transfer service they began charging us $35 more than we were at our old address!! "You were under a promotion and even though you're still a customer, you address has changed so now you pay the full price without a special promotional discount we were giving you" I was told. Let me get this right, so for staying with you when I move, you charge me more I asked. Silence on the phone. So I contact Bill Slowsky and find out how much the Internet/phone/tv package is compared to Comcast. About $50-$60 less! Why on earth would I then go with Comcast?? So I call them to cancel and they transfer us to the "retention department". This is a fancy way of staying, the shlub that has to talk to you on the phone and try to convince you to stay with them, after you've already made up your mind to cancel. (does that really work? I mean does someone actually call to cancel, don't forget they also WAIT on hold for while, then request to cancel and actually be convinced not to do it) So I talk to the woman who tells me how they have their "triple play" and how they service is faster, better, more reliable...I say, great, is it...cheaper?? Well umm, sure it is...then I remind her, you mean it's cheaper even after you charge me for the digital upgrade service, rent me my modem for $6.00, rent me a remote for $2.00 and require for me to have a DVR I must also have the HD service for an additional $8.00 plus the DVR for $15.99?? When with the Slowsky family all they charge is the DVR (no remote, router, etc charges...and still less!) After all that what else is there to say?? "Can I have your forwarding address we know where to send your rebate check?" Sure. Have a nice day Comcast.

Thank you for participating in this rant...we will now return you to your already scheduled program already in progress...When in doubt, just say "Manamana"...trust me, it WILL make you feel better!!

Devil or Saint?



OK, dear readers, let me paint you a picture...
you go to work, throwing yourself whole-heartily into it, come home to the the shrieking, wailing and crying instead of the pidder patter of little feet. Yes, you come home to those lovable children who are your heart and soul and instead of "welcome home daddy!" all you get is "wwwaaaaaaaaa!!!" or even worse, the constant tone of "Peep", "George" or "Bob" (apparently the only names your little bundle of sunshine will say, as he gasps at the tv DEMANDING that his favorite characters be played on the DVD player)

You assist in the ever fun project of dinner. "All done" he replies after eating an apple sauce and nothing else. This, even after the short-order cook, namely your wife, has made three different dinners for this little child, all of which he has refused. "Chips!" he replies...or "Fries"!! Forget the protein, forget the veggies, it's carbs he demands! (what is he, power lifting or preparing for a marathon??)

You then take him to the bath and off to bed...so you think...but NOOOOO! Not even the pleasant oasis of imminent bedtime will end the cries...for he doesn't want to go to bed...and no matter what you try-more books, more hugs, more kisses, more prayers-will end the constant bang of the bedroom door as your child continues to get out of bed and bang, kick and slam on the door continuously. Do you go in and yell or spank? Do you enter and comfort only to hear the screams as you leave grow even louder?? Do you ignore and figure he'll either sleep in bed or on the floor..."but I'm not going back in" you think to yourself

Like the ever determined warrior entering into a battlefield, there are some fights just not worth fighting...then your heart breaks after 10 minutes of crying you hear softly through the door, the most sad and pathetic tune of "sorry daddy, sorry daddy". That knife of your sad and seemingly apologetic brood digging into your heart now, making you feel "damn I'm mean, I'm too rough on him"...are you just training him (or better yet, is he just training you??!!)

Oh yea, I forgot mention that new shirt you just put on his covered in vomited formula that the other child just spit all all over you!

Tired, exhausted, really, you slump onto the couch hoping the gentle blue images that wash over your will take you away from reality...7pm...8pm...9pm...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz only to hear that continuing cry at 530am...is this a dream or am I awake???...didn't we just do this yesterday...wait a darn minute...it's Saturday...we sleep in on Saturday don't we???

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there does it make a sound? If you ignore your crying children until 10am and don't tell anyone, are you REALLY neglecting them??

Now don't get me wrong, children are the greatest thing in life...having the opportunity to instill your thoughts, ideals, values and have those concepts actually grow up and be able to make in impact on this world is an amazing thing...seeing them smile or laugh is truly one of the greatest joys of my life...but lets just say it this way...even a root canal has it's benefits but damn if the process don't hurt like a bitch!! In policing, they say it's 9 1/2 hours of boredom followed by 30 minutes of sheer terror...in parenting it's more like 23 hours and 59 minutes of chasing around the Tasmanian Devil followed by 1 minute of hearing the harps of Saint Michael!!! (OK, so maybe I embellish just a bit!)

PS...thank you George Bush for my stimulus check...I promise to use it wisely!!

What a month!

Hello my fellow readers...yes I know it's been quite a long time since we last met. It seems that in the past 30 days so much as happened I really don't even know where to start. Let's see, I think I shall begin with my testicles. (sorry mom, but I do have to start somewhere!)

As many of you are aware, I did the "consult" in which my European "doctor" with broken fingers "consulted" with me (and other parts of me!) Well the surgery was scheduled and performed. I shant go into all the gory details, but lets say for all you men out there, you remember that feeling when that girl (we never forget your name!) who kicked us in the nether regions in the 3rd grade! (HER name was Rachel Kraft by the way!) Well that feeling remained with me for 2 weeks! Can you imagine??! Two weeks of that pain in your diaphragm! Well folks I'd like to say that I took it all like a champion of epic proportions but I'm sure the first person to comment would be my wife who would completely disagree. She would tell you that I cried like a baby, couldn't hold our newest son and constantly complained about my testicles day and night...well they did hurt you know!!

So, moving on to another sport, let's discuss the idea of moving...I'm sure by now that most of you are aware that the "lil miss'es" and I were planning on leaving this great land of Maryland to the land where a Republican vote actually counts and steak is not something you eat once in a while but is required by law at every meal. Well after much consideration we decided NOT to move!! Yes that's right, we're staying put. In short, here's what happened...

We looked at ALL the possibilities and decided that the best move for us would be to stay here. So we looked at keeping our townhouse (about 2 weeks to closing at this point) and did find a loophole. Not being very comfortable with that, we decided we wanted to leave anyway. So...we had all our furniture moved into storage and all of my true and faithful friends helped move all the heavy stuff! (of course they did ALL complain about moving all the stuff out of the attic!) Afterwards, we went to closing...which for the first time was actually quite painless. That was a Friday...so with a new apartment (6 days old) and a sold house (1 day old) what do we do...go house hunting! Saturday and Sunday...how painful! I don't think that my wife and I have fought more in a 48 hour period! By Sunday night we had made an offer (50K LESS, I mean it IS a buyer's market right??) and it was accepted!! Yes folks you read that right, within a 5 day span, we had moved, sold and bought another house!!


OK so lets just recap here...since we've been married, lets see it's been 3 years, we've bought and sold and bought a house, had two kids, gave away our dog, completed major construction on a house, wife has worked in 3 different schools, I've worked in 3 different positions, had a vasectomy, diabetes, got rid of diabetes, thought our son was autistic, went through months of therapy for him, gone through 3 day cares, moved our furniture twice, and threatened our entire family that we wanted to move 3 times out of the area! I think we've actually hit EVERY stress indicator there is!

Let's not forget that in the past 10 days I've found out that it's likely I'll be returning to patrol. In fact I just found out that my paltry 25K budget won't be renewed. But of course the Humane Society has spent over that ensuring that the Box Turtle is not displaced from their habitat because of the dreaded ICC. So turtles have a better budget to keep them safe than Alzheimer's and Autistic children!! Great just great...if there's a silver lining this is it...I did just get my new 2008Mad Max Dodge Charger...at least I can drive fast through those red light cameras!

Now if everything were to go according to plan, all I have to do is replace the idol with a bag of sand, avoid the big boulder only to have my prize taken by Belloch! (if you don't know this reference you don't deserve to ever see another movie or spend time with me again!) The real question remains...is the other shoe going to drop??

Respect My Authority!!


Have you ever wanted to have the power to create space and time? To force the universe to turn in your direction and to have even the power to control the way the planet spins on its very axis? Well I have this power!! It is called a police badge and uniform. Yes, friends, it is the authority in which time and even gravity itself holds to my very whim. It allows a simple, mild-mannered Clark Kent to become the greatest of super-hero's. I wear it proudly on my chest..."RT"...For I am...Return Man!!

Now let me preface by saying, that nothing is done illegally, imporally or in any way that is not within the firm boundaries of my appointed post. No friends...it is simply the power of the authority and the perception of said authority that follows me. You see, when you walk into a store and need to return something, you are no different from the pimply-faced geek behind the counter. Who cares if you suffered or your product doesn't work. What does it matter if you were inconvienenced by some product that blew up. So what if you spend mounds of money, only to be told, "that's not under warranty" or "we'll need to send that to a repair facility, it'll be about 8-10 weeks".

No, that same pimply-faced geek sees the badge (and uniform)and attitudes change. Things that cannot be done, are done. Things that cannot be undone, are fixed. "Yes sir officer, how may I help you". No longer does that $5.50 employee ignore you, he actually comes up to you with baited anticipation only to help your most simple whim.

Let's take in point my computer. It died. Being the forward-thinking bloke that I am, I bought an extended warranty. Well, thankfully, when it died it was under said warranty. Now they did need to send it off. Unfortunately I could not live without a computer for a month. So I bought a new one. When the "old" computer came back as unrepairable, they said, OK sir (note the lack of sarcasm is said employee's voice) you paid X amount of dollars for that computer, you can pick another one for the same price. I explain the incredible hardship that I was under for being foced to be without email for the 8 weeks (of course it took twice as long to determine it was unrepairable) and explained that I didn't need another computer I had just bought a new one. The manager comes over, smiling and I show him my proof, my receipt of the new computer. (you always need to keep your documentation!!) The manager nods and does some magical spell on their computers and said, "OK, here's what I've done, I've taken the amount you paid for the original computer and put it on a gift card for you, so you can use it for whatever you want." Well thank you very much!! I appreciate it. Now, you'll note that never do I ask for anything or request a favor or any special treatment...No friends, that would be unethical. If they offer something to be nice, that would be fine, but never would I balk...again it simply the power of Return Man...no not even Kryptonite can stop him!!

Example number two (and yes I must add this becuase my wife has already taken liberty to bash me on the Internet), I recently purchased a GPS navigation system. Now said system does not come with an extended warranty. Well, how can I in a few years return it for a better system if there's no extended warranty?? What if it breaks, or...perish the thought...there's a newer, better, shinier one on the market? The new pimply-faced geek says that they don't offer one...sorry. Sorry? Excuse me?? This must not be my "regular store"...let me go to another branch...the branch where they love me...respect me...in secret, want to be...me! So off I go...and what does that manager do??? He wisks his magical wand over the computer and poof!...an extended warranty with the system that doesn't have one...how'd that happen you say?? Was it magic, was it some strange atmospheric occurrence...no friends....Return Man was here...you just didn't see him, he has already gone back into the phone booth and changed back into someone that looks like you....

Violated

So, to begin this week's diatribe, let me begin by stating:

WARNING:
IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO EXPERIENCE VERBAL EXPLANATIONS OF A GRAPHIC NATURE, READ NO FURTHER...PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

Still here? OK, don't say I didn't warn you!

So as most parents consider at one time or another, do we want to have more kids? It's a question of monumental importance, since, unless you're quite young, you do only have a reasonable amount of time to have children before the risks begin to get greater. (which of course begs the conversation that after 35 your risks increase, so why do so many celebrities have kids well into their 40's seemingly with no risks whatsoever...yet I digress)

Of course as a married couple you must engage in the debate as to whether we WANT more children, what the risks may involve, timing, can we afford such offspring, and in our case, the medical implications of pregnancy. Well over the past few months it had been decided that we were done. Not "done", like I just poked the chicken on the grill and its cooked (of course one could suggest that being done, our children have indeed "cooked" us-or at least my sanity and patience) We had just come to the conclusion that we had two beautifully wonderful children and we were done. Therefore, in order to avoid any "mistakes" we should look into a surgical solution. Now being the magnanimous husband I am, I would opt for the less surgical, invasive procedure, being the adjustment (read: cutting) of my first favorite little friend rather than my lovely wife going under the knife. (hey! I'm a poet and I don't even know it!)

Now for those of you who have never experienced going to a surgeon for something, they first must do a "consult". What this means is that you have to go and meet the doctor and let them talk you out of what you want. In truth, this is another reason to pay yet another co-pay. I'm not really against consults...I mean if I were to have a face lift, it would be an important thing...but for what I was wanting, what exactly do they need to consult-is there some confusion here?

So I enter the office, in uniform...and when I finally meet the doctor (40 minutes later of course) during his barrage of questioning, what does he ask me...so what do you do? Hmmm, this is a guy who has his medical license right?? I mean he has achieved the pinnacle of educational advancement...right? RIGHT?? Well, after discussing my job and of course the dangers (and injuries sustained) that go along with them, he makes a rather sad attempt to relate by looking at his right hand. I view his three fingers (pointer, middle and ring) which look rather disfigured and his one nail is completely black. He says "well, I understand about injuries, I broke my three fingers a few months ago)...again, he's the surgeon right, with three broken fingers...great, he probably operate and I'll walk out with an additional exit hole in my rear!!

Then the doctor says, OK well I need to do a cursory examination of you. Let's focus on that word for a minute...cursory. Meaning overview, not detailed. All right, I get that, get the once over, make sure there's nothing wrong under the hood, per se.

So after the initial unpleasantness, where apparently while he is "examining" me we're getting to "know each other"... a form of medical foreplay (he actually has me feel what he's going to cut...like I really need that!), the doc says to me" OK, now turn around, bend over and put your arms on the table. He says this as I observe him grab this tube of Costco-sized petroleum jelly. At first I think I'm in some weird universe...isn't it my job to tell someone to turn around and spread it??

Let me stop here and note...the etymology of the term "vasectomy" is broken down to "vas" and "ectomy"...as in the cutting of the vas-deferins. Now, lets review, nowhere in this etymology does it say, "stranger sticking his lubed finger in the out orifice".

Now you can only imagine what occurred next. (yes mom, I'll avoid the details just for you!) As I am experiencing this violation of epic proportions, all I have are visions of Chevy Chase in "Fletch" singing "Moon River". "Moooon River, Whew! Thanks doc, ever serve time?) What I wanted to say to this medical professional, was, "at least I thought I'd get a dinner out of this...do you have a cigarette?" (why is it the best, smart ass comments come to us later?!)

Well now having my innards poked and prodded, lets just say that the surgery is a go...(and yes, no unusual prostate surprises either! I AM only 34 you know!)

More later on the result...maybe I'll have some pictures, wouldn't that be fun!

Relection Reflecting

What does it mean to be "reflected"? Are you actually reflecting or does the person staring back at you often resemble something different than you remember? Can it be, that even in the momentary glimpse of such a recognizable description, you might see something new? Or, is it like how we drive the same route every day, often losing sight of the details, just muddling along to our next destination? While this esoteric thought may not be my normal flow of consciousness, let it be that my first post might pose the question for the future of this experiment. Can simply writing random thoughts and musings actually mean anything or can it remove the curtain from the daily grind? Can it bring, even just a little light to an otherwise dreary day?

While the "adventure" of life continues, it does seem that even the everyday mundane is in itself an adventure. What to have for dinner, can I come home early, will I ever get packed before the movers actually arrive? Even under such self-imposed stress as to not have a job, a place to live in Texas or even it seems sometimes a clue, such mysteries make one look inward at the man looking back.

In truth, we are all just trying to make it to that next moment, that next day. We look around our lives and count our blessings. We remember those we loved, those that love us, and must remember that we are rich, just for those in our lives. Let's see where this adventure takes us together!
