[W + (D-d)] x TQ
M x NA
Where W = weather, D = debt, d = monthly salary, T = time since Christmas, Q = time since failed quit attempt, M = low motivational levels and NA = the need to take action, it's a proven fact: January 24 is the shittiest day of the year.
Although some people think it was yesterday.
well, my sister's birthday is the 24th, so I can't really question the wisdom!
For walleroo: "They flee from me that sometimes did me seke" - Sir Thomas Wyatt.
walleroo, I took your recent absence as a possible indication you had run away and were riding a Harley in Nevada with your chic on the back and the kid(s) in the side car. Wind in your suddenly long hair flowing back from your un-helmeted head. A dog-eared paperback copy of "Capitalism and Freedom" jutting from the back pocket of your leather pants. The booming roar of the hog *almost* drowning out the clamors for the next Happy Meal...
Did you know, cathar, that if you google that line, the sixth reference is to an Baristanet entry you made months ago, to me, quoting same. It made me laugh then, and I would laugh today if I weren't so grumpy.
I had about 15 seconds of rapture reading that post, ROC. But alas, no, I'm here laboring in the fields of ridicule.
And I, walleroo, am abashed that I repeated a line from more or less my favorite poet (but then, he was both a Papist and a surreptitious bedder of Anne Boleyn).
Nest time, I promise, Ogden Nash instead. For now, powder your face with sunshine. And wear a helmet when on the bike, whatever ROC tells you. You don't want to wind up as addled as Gary Busey.
Thank you, cathar, for reminding me of Ogden Nash:
Purity
Is Obscurity
(dedicated to Greg "Yawn" Spinelli)
My favorite is:
The Bronx
No Thanks
Walleroo- Don't let ROC steer you wrong (not that I think he means to). Helmets are *now* required in Nevada.
Yes! You are correct. That's what I get for relying on memory rather than looking it up.
Today is my birthday, so I can verify that it does truly suck. ;-)
Nonetheless, kar, and no matter your age, allow me to speak for my fellow trolls and wish you as genuinely happy and rewarding a birthday as you feel up to today.
Thank you, cathar, for your warm birthday wishes! This day is not seeming as shitty afterall. ;-)
Kar, your birthday is a beautiful day!And don't forget, you have a terrific UNCLE in New Jersey who sends you blog posts to BRIGHTEN your day!
Maybe you're just getting old and cranky?
You'll always have your uncle.
Kar,
It's a great day to be alive and celebrating a birthday.
Happy Birthday
Once my dad told my brother that the President (it was Bill Clinton at the time) was getting rid of his birthday because it was the middle day of the year (it is July 22 and that is not the middle day). He got upset but we kept going with the game. Point is, this post was about a day of the year and then other people started talking about birthdays. So there.
July 22 is one of my brother's b-days...thank God it's not the conservative one. Don't know what he'd do if he found out that he shared a birthday with Slick Willie.
brother's-=brothers'
can't type today for some reason
No no, I meant the President was getting rid of his "my brother's" birthday and not his "the president's own". Seriously my dad told him congress passed it as a law that there were too many days in the year and they need to cut the middle day out, which would be July 22 (although it isn't really the middle day of the year), and to a 5 year old that makes sense I guess.
I share with Dwight Gooden, Lisa Bonet, Burgess Meredith and W.C. Handy.
my of my yister's was born on 8/19...don't worry miss m, slick (bj) willie was born in june...and how appropriate that you share a bday with dwight, doc, gooden...it's a sign for you to finally become a mets fan.
ALERT - 23 days till pitchers and catchers...can spring be far behind?
Yesterday couldn't have been the crappiest day of the year - there was a new episode of "24"!
My father died on August 19th. For me, that's the lousiest day of the year. (No offense to your sis Iceman.)
no offense, crankster,
equating a sis is nothing like a beloved parent.
Can't argue with science ? - Actually, it's very possible - provided that you live in Kansas or in certain parts of rural PA.
"she blinded me with science...science"...sorry, I just had an 80s flashback. Gosh, the music in the 80s sucked...whew.
Except for Midnight Oil.
Pity I didn't realize that until 2002, the year of their final US tour.
