The Life and Times of Jim |
Hi, there. I'm Jim. Welcome to my phlog! This site was written for Las Vegas, then LouisVille. Now, it seems to be about anywhere. In these phlogs, you'll see a lot of my personal notes and pictures. I like to post my observations here to remember life and celebrate it. I'm not religious. I don't pray for good fortune. I'm ecstatically grateful for the gift of life and I think our time should be remembered and not taken for granted. I'm not a writer. I think pictures tell stories so much better than words. I love just about everything in this life, and, I guess that would have to include you. So, if you've seen me, don't be surprised if your picture is in here somewhere. Of all the critters, people are absolutely the most interesting. |

05/08/2006 23:18:17 Jim Went shopping. I must love returning items. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
Bought a vanity. It was cracked. Had to take it back. We installed the new one, but it didn't have a faucet. :( Bought a bathtub spout. But it didn't fit. Had to take it back. Sound like a pattern? It happens everytime I do house repairs. Trips back and forth take more time than the installation. |
05/08/2006 04:12:35 Jim Hope you feel better today. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
I can't get sympathy if everyone feels bad...hahaha. I love you SO Much... |
05/08/2006 04:08:04 Jim Still feeling badly | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
I took a couple of those pharmacudical uplifters. They finally kicked in around 10pm. Now it's late! ANYWAY... I cut the top and bottom channels for the condo's closets. They look good. I straightened up the tool room. It seemed unfair that I'm getting Sonny to throw away his junk, while I'm keeping mine. The room's clean now, but its poorly organized. Becky was feeling bad today. She did a lot of work last night help Robert move. |
05/07/2006 06:23:47 Jim My eyes itch, my skin feels itch | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
I feel tired. Exhausted even. My breathing is labored, and I feel like someone is sitting on my chest. Damn, I'm tired of feeling run down. |
05/06/2006 23:11:38 Jim Robert moved today | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
Becky help him move his stuff up the stairs. I was just to drained to help. |
05/06/2006 21:57:30 Jim Robert and Joy moved out today | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
We picked up the Uhaul. Robert loaded it up, and unloaded it. Becky helped him some. I didn't help cause I'm already in enough trouble with my health. (I'll be glad when/if this finally clears up). |

05/02/2006 12:26:38 Jim It seems to me that the Mexicans are victims | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
They aren't the cause of our immigration problems. The employers who break the law for hiring them are. The employers who hire illegals for slave wages should be penalized. Employers who circumvent the laws of supply and demand by hiring slave workers, are breaking the rules of free enterprises. They should not be in business if their business depends on breaking the law. |
05/02/2006 12:05:11 Jim .Citizenship Test | Tue |||||||||||||||||||

05/02/2006 11:21:17 Jim What are the hispanics doing? | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
People from foreign countries can become U.S. citizens if they complete a process called naturalization. To be naturalized, a person must meet certain requirements: · Be at least 18 years old · Have lived in the U.S. as a legal resident for at least 5 years · Be of good moral character and loyal to the U.S. · Be able to read, write, speak and understand basic English · Have basic knowledge and understanding of the history, government structure and the Constitution of the U.S. · Be willing to take an oath of allegiance to the U.S. We drove around last night and saw a lot of Mexican Flags waving. So, are they loyal to Mexico or the US? I go to the flea market and some stores in town, and have to search for English speaking clerks. So, are they going to learn English, or do I have to learn Spanish. If the Thailanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese people protest Will I have to learn their language too? I don't get free health care. I don't get any health care. Do they? If I go to the emergency room, I have to pay. My property is attached. They will come after me. If I didn't own anything, I'd get fixed up for free. Do these people have drivers licenses, auto insurance, or own property? If so, how does that work? If they don't own property How does taking civil action against them work if you can't sue them? Wouldn't suing in small claims court be useless/futile? |
05/01/2006 20:03:05 Jim If I am never to get any better | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
If these bad health issues I'm having are a signal of an end coming, I got to say, I'm not afraid. In the end, we all must realize everything we did, all the things we believed, and all we held true, were myths. Life is just a box of dreams. None of this can be proven to be real. If the present is more real than the future, and the past is more real than the present, but the past is just a memory, then this is all a dream. |
04/30/2006 01:30:20 Jim Do you really really like this site | Sun |||||||||||||||||||

I hope he makes it. Thanks for helping with the yard today. That could have been some killer work for me. Somehow it didn't bother me much though. Thanks for helping with the stove today too. You do help a lot more than you'll ever know And thanks for doing the laundry too. I hate doing laundry myself. Dirty clothes stink. And thanks for being the only love I'll ever need. You are the best, and you probably don't even know it. |

I had fun at Red Rock too. |
04/21/2006 00:29:33 Jim Fixed the stove | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
Stoves - Its amazing people have survived as a species. The stove (standard) changed sometime ago. I've been to 3 places and spend more than 8 hours, just looking for adapters to make a stupid gas hose work. Sometime ago, the standard changed from 1/2" to 9/16's of an inch. Thats a 1/16th inch difference. That makes no since to me...AT ALL. Bonnie Springs - toyed with the peacocks. There menu was very basic for dinner. Red Rock Casino - didn't go in though, it was packed. I can't imagine why people out there complained about a casino near Red Rock Canyon. There's a Best Buy closer to the canyon. Hush Puppies - Our waitress was tweeking. |

04/19/2006 13:29:47 Jim Cobol Jobs | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
After say yea to a recruiter this morning for a job in New Hampshire, I decided to read up on Cobol jobs. Apparently, there are still quite a few of them out there. The recommendation is to send your resume to the CIO's of the top Fortune 1000 companies. Cobol programmers are retiring, but their applications are still the heart beat of many companies. |
04/19/2006 07:46:06 Jim The garbage men just came | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
Cory, my east neighbor, once again filled up my dumpster on the first day. He often just sets the trash out on the side walk next to the dumpster. That pisses me off so bad! He could more easily put his trash bags on the side walk in front of his house, but instead, he chooses to make me look like a pig. I got down on him yesterday about it. The worst thing Cory has ever done to me was to put a wet trash can full of shit next to the dumpster. He's just a stupid man. He's got no consideration for others. His dogs destroyed my fence. Rather than fixing the fence, he built a crappy one inside his yard. The dogs still managed to get out, and they chewed up my antenna wiring. |
04/19/2006 07:18:40 Jim 6am - Terrible Asthma Attack | Wed |||||||||||||||||||
Its terrible! I slept for 4 hours just to wake up feeling like I was dieing. I tried the inhalers, and the Las Vegas mix drops. Just sitting up helps a lot though. I feel so pathetic. |
04/18/2006 17:18:35 Jim I LoVe yOU bABy | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
Happy Tuesday |
04/18/2006 06:59:51 Jim Our desires seem so simple | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
Our desires center around our need to procreate. We want young women because they are best suited to carry our offspring. There's nothing wrong with that, its nature's way. Males seek mates with what they consider healthiest characteristics. Women with less attractive characteristics mate with men of the same like. Men with less attractive characteristics tend to force women to mate that have healthier characteristics. These are natures techniques for genetically mutating a species. No psychiatrist or geneticist could deny that our desires are programmed through instinct. Apparently, nature likes to throw the dice. It can take generations to make dramatic changes in a species. Its hard to understand why people deny their own nature. I suppose it has a lot to do comfort levels. It was nice to hear someone say what I've always thought about religion Last night, someone on TV said, "This person brainwashed her child into believing generations of lies, all while telling her she did it because she loved her". |
04/18/2006 06:35:01 Jim GMorning Becky | Tue |||||||||||||||||||
I thought I'd just say "I Love You". We need to called your Mom-n-em and tell them "Happy Easter" |
04/16/2006 00:00:00 Jim Easter Sunday | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
Eggs and bunnys |
04/15/2006 22:22:33 Jim Another day shot to hell | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
Kind of. Joe the tree trimmer trimmed the palm trees. Chuck came by. |
04/15/2006 13:52:58 Jim It was fun setting up the webcams this morning | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
You're lookin good babe! |
04/15/2006 05:42:01 Jim Hooked the laptop up to the projector | Sat |||||||||||||||||||
Its fuzzy, but it works. For some reason, XP will let you extend your windows screen, but it doesn't let you show the main portion of the screen on the external monitor. We went driving around, watched planes take off and land at the airport. It was thundering. The planes arrive at a rate of around 1 every 5 minutes. Watching them land in high winds is scary. Southcoast Station. Big. We couldn't believe how much this town has grown in the south. |
