What Gloomy weekend....

Well, here it is another Sunday....Damn it I have to work tomorrow. Actually that is a good thing, since we had the job shut down on Thursday and Friday. Although it nice to have a few extra days off here and there. It does hurt financially, but at least I still have a job and that it was just due to the weather. As Thess put it...at least I wa spending it doing somehting wise. I spent a lot of time down at the Dancing Goat reading books by Uncle Robbie. I started and finished 1877: Year of Violence last week. Now I have started to read Lincoln And The Tools of War. I started it yesterday and am about half way through it. I don't know what hell got into me lately...reading. I am enjoying the hell out of it. I have really been enjoy my wine, cheese, crackers and reading. Maybe I am really as intellectual as I think I am. No, I know I am.....hahahahah.
Uncle Robbie was an amazingly colorful writer. The descriptive, colorful, and strength of the with which his books are filled with just simply amaze me. The thing that really leaves me in aaawwwww....is the fact that with all the words he uses, you rarely find him usually them twice. How did he do it? Simply a gift.... My goal now is to read the rest of his books as well as McKay's book on Bell, right after I read Robbie's book on Bell.
I have recently, along with my readings, been watching "30Rock" what a great show. I have to hand it to Tina Fey, she did fabulous job creating and producing the show. It is damn near as good as "Arrested Development" which is quite a compliment coming from ME!!!!! Although "Arrested Development" is going to be hard to beat.
I think reading allows a persons mind to be set at ease for that moment in his or her life. Regardless of the genre, it allows a person to forget about all those things that make life hard, sad, happy, stressful, or anything else that we seem to have bottled up in our minds, our hearts and our souls.
