What's on Tonight?

For the last 9 months, I have not had T.V. service.  For me it is a real lose, because it was not only entertainment, but it was also way I stayed informed and educated.  You may question education, but I did like watching at lot of historical stuff and documentaries.  But there are some things I do not miss.

So here is what I miss:

  • Racing:  I have not seen many races this year.  I can not tell you who has won many races this year.  
  • Football:  I ended up watching most of the bowl games  at other peoples houses.  I saw the Super Bowl at Dallas Dail's home.  I do not know what I am going to do next week with the start of the season.  
  • Soccer:  I have missed the opening week of the Premier League and Champions League.  Don't have any money to go to a pub to set there and watch.  So I have to find out who wins online.  Not happy.
  • The Local News.  I know that I listen to talk radio most of the day, but you do not get the 5 day forecast on the radio, and a lot of stations hardly say anything about sports.
  • Not being able to watch my favorite shows when they are on.  And somethings are not carried by Hulu, so you have to search for a way to see them.
Here is what I don't miss.

  • The Kardashians:  I use to watch that show none stop.  And it was not that great.  The one I really felt bad for was Bruce Jenner.  
  • Flipping through channel after channel to find something to watch.  I did that a lot.
  • Reality T.V.:  well is it really real or scripted.  Man I watched a lot of stupid stuff.
  • Watching T.V. to watch T.V.  Really a time waster.
Like I stated, I do have Hulu Plus, so I can watch a lot of my favorite shows the next day they aired.  But some, I have to really do a search to find them.  I have a way to watch Downton Abbey, and now Under the Dome.  The Amazing Race, NCIS, and Survivor, I have to find on the CBS website.  

I have found other things to do, with my new found time.  But I still miss watching T.V. when ever I wanted to.

No one really knows the really me!

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
