Before I get to the reason for the title of this entry I must take a short time out and say... I told you so!!
Now normally I don't like to say that but, I will for this journal as a way of documenting events. A week ago I said that in a week I'd still be waiting for our house. Well, I'm still waiting. The finance company was not able to get the paperwork done in time today to close escrow. They actually missed it by a half hour or so. We are told that Monday it will close, on my son's birthday. So, we are spending yet another weekend on the floor.
In other news, today I got to unload the glaze kiln at school. It contained about a dozen pieces of pottery that I've worked hard over the past few months to make. Laying my eyes upon their beautiful forms actually left me breathless. I couldn't believe that I made such gorgeous pieces of artwork. I so love working with my hands. Prior to seeing them I had planned on giving some of my best pieces away as Christmas gifts. Now, I am having seriously second thoughts. I guess it's that passion that will ultimately make them perfect gifts. Or maybe the recipients will not appreciate how much work I did and make the cups and mugs into planters.
I think I'll find something else to give away for Christmas.
Oh, one more thing... My wife really hurt my feelings today by saying that my pottery looks "funky". I know she wasn't trying to hurt me, but she doesn't understand how passionate I am about these little lumps of colored ceramics. My only hope is that she reads this and tries a bit harder to understand.

What has happened to this nation?
Proof positive that the news after election day is absolutely dreadful. I found this on yahoo news this evening:
New Puppy to Prance at White House
Thu Nov 4,11:32 AM ET
WASHINGTON - A new presidential pooch will soon be roaming the halls of the White House. President Bush marked Laura Bush's birthday Thursday by announcing he would give her a Scottish terrier puppy that is a relative of the current first dog, Barney.
Miss Beazley, as the first lady and twins Barbara and Jenna have already named the pup, was born Oct. 28. She is due to arrive just before Christmas.
WHO THE F**K CARES!!!!!
In other news, we signed the final documents on our house today. We are slated to obtain possession of the property on Tuesday of next week.

As expected...
With as much as I have been wrong about things lately I was hoping that last nights Presidential election would follow suit. I am a bit sad that Baby Bush was re-elected. It'll be another 4 years of the rich getting richer and the poor marching to a useless war. Oh well, that is the way of the world and why I want no part of it.

A lighted tunnel
Today we found out that the seller reluctantly accepted an offer to carry part of the loan on the house. We signed papers and the deal goes to the finance company tommorrow. It's not a done deal, but it is as close as it gets to being one. With any luck we will sign our financing papers tommorrow and possibly be in our house on Friday... the very day that I said was our last day we will wait. Irony...
I must admit that while I am thankful and relieved, I am not happy yet. I really won't be satisfied until I am sleeping in my own bed. I think that is the reason I was just ready to give up and find a rental. At least this way I will never have to deal with a landlord again. Did I mention I consider them scum of the earth?
In other news... I put in my two cents worth at the ballot box today. I voted for John Kerry for two reasons. One, I hate all incumbents. Two, I can't forgive Bush for invading Iraq when we should have been going after Osama. I think the Iraq war was waged for selfish reasons on his part, and he used lies to justify it to America.
However, at this point in the ballot counting I think Bush will win. America still wants a reckoning for 9/11, we are still bloodthirsty! Bush will continue(albiet foolishly) waging war. No one believes Kerry, and his former anti-war stance, as capable of bombing strange and different people into the stone-age. The mob must be pleased with a show of blood. Welcome to Nova Roma my plebian friends!
