If the horse is dead, why do I keep beating it?
I don't know if the title means anything, it just sounded good to me. I have been busy with work lately which is good. I haven't gotten a promotion, which I think I should have gotten but I am patient but only so. I don't know for sure how to ask for the promotion and I fear rejection as I don't know what I would do following. Would I stay on and feel like a punk or try to move on into something new that may be worse?
Sometimes I think (actually I know for sure) that I should be doing something else. What it is I am not clear on. This makes doing it even more difficult. I think I need a public access show where I can talk and then people will see it and hear it and then I will be famous and have a late night show in syndication where I do the same thing. I think the show would be part interview, part topical and part drunken auto and home repair tips. Now with that in place all I need are the production means and methods and a (some) loyal sidekick/co-host (s) to be the strait man/woman (men/women) in the routine(s) ( I like to put things in parenthesis). I think I need to get this idea in the works and stop boring myself.
I do like my job and I do have a future here if I want it, but is this what I want? Does this complete me? Is this the example I want to give to the Younger? That it is OK do stick with a job or career that is just OK instead of trying something that you are pretty sure is what you want? I doubt it. Or maybe I am only fun at parties and have delusional ideas about myself and my potential. Hell, maybe I am not even fun at parties and should be happy just to have a job that doesn't involve french fries.
I do like those Lays chips with the sea salt. Those are some damned fine chips. I am also a fan of the Tostito's multi-grain chips too. Those are good, but different than the potato chips I mentioned.
I got a kick ass grill for Father's Day. I am happy to have it. Being a grill owner makes me feel like a real dad. Now all I need is an apron with a funny saying on it. So far I made chicken, pork chops and hot dogs. I think Brats are on the menu for tonight.
Saturday the Mrs. and I are going to the "Celebrity" Soul Food Cook-Off. It is sponsored by the nonprofit she works for. I think this may be the year for Harry Boomer's meatballs.

If you had a cable access show, I would watch it. Especially if you opened with "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
I am jealous of grill owners. If you have a grill, it means you have a yard, or patio, or balcony. And I have none of these things.
I don't know if music will be a part of the show. We wouldn't want to step on Teddy Ted's shoes.
I would hope Teddy Ted would understand.
