Passion and Greatness

It's passion that drives a man to be great!  Therefore, in order for him to be great he must find his passion, his muse.  Passion for the muse can make him an unstoppable force.
I feel a need to be great that no one understands.  Even more confusing is what is it that I am to be great at?  Is my muse the obvious one or is it something that is hidden?  Am I looking my muse right in the face or is she hiding around the next dark street corner?   
A question to ponder.  Can a man show passion about something that is not his muse and be a success?  I am not sure of any of these answers but I am in search of them.

WTF???????? Part 2

So my wife yelled at me for using the word 'degenerate' in relation to her and her sister's recent gambling (Read the prior WTF???? post before reading this one).  Of course she was playing online poker while she was yelling at me!?!?!?!?

Just so you know, I have been threatened by the powers that be to not write about her anymore so I am done including her in my blog because I love her very much and I don't want something as silly as a blog to interfere with our relationship.

Anyway, we are sitting around talking and she (wifey) says she isn't sure what we are going to do for dinner because she hasn't had the chance to go to the grocery store.  This is another in a long line of WTF moments I have had recently.  Most of my WTF moments are self contained, meaning that I think them and maybe put them on this blog.  Unfortunately this one got past the screen door and out my mouth before I could finish saying WTF in my head.

"Baby, I don't know what we are having for dinner because I haven't had time to go to Costco or Sam's."

"Oh, I guess you didn't have time because you were too busy gambling at the casino!"

"Oh, OK I've had about enough of you calling me a degenerat gambler.  Fine, you know what I am going to go right now!"

Feeling good she is gonna' go, but bad I blurted out the casino comment I laid next to her on the bed (she is playing on line blackjack on the laptop) and said with a big grin, "Hey I did not say degenerate and you don't have to go to the store right now don't worry about it we can figure something out for dinner."

She then frowned at me and said, "I wasn't talking about going to the grocery store!!!!!!!  I was talking about going to the casino!!!!!"

...........I stopped grinning and thought to myself, 'WTF????????'

I'm glad I can write about this other stuff instead of my wife and her gambling. Oh, this just in. My wife cancelled our marriage counseling appointment for tomorrow. So, the one time I got something to complain about she cancels our appointment? WTF?????

BTW, sister in law snuck out last night late and came back before morning.  If you read this blog on a regular basis you know that this would not be out of the ordinary as she keeps a variety of booty calls on speed dial.  I find this curious because it seemed to be very covert.  She had just finished telling us that she was 'feenin' for the casino and then she disappears when she thinks everyone is asleep and is back before daybreak?  SHADY!  She is one of those that will hang around after the booty call until the dude says 'uhmmm, my dog has a vet appointment for his breast cancer vaccination' just to get her out of the house.  So her being back is a little weird.  I bet she was at the casino.

Remember that line in the Jodeci song, "I can't leave you alone, you got me feenin!"

I'm gonna get to Tiger and Terrell Suggs who may be dumber than Tiger but I don't have all of his facts yet.

WTF????????

OK, the sister in law (SIL from here on) quit her job. She is now looking for her third job since moving here. I'm pissed because I'm thinking 'Wow, it would be nice to tell everyone at my job to kiss my ass and just walk out' but I can't because I am responsible and have responsibilities. I think an advantage to being crazy is that you can be crazy and reckless.

I know you are thinking that she is just a kid probably 22 and just getting on her feet.....nope she's a grown ass woman in her mid 30's. He living with us was supposed to last a couple of months and it is going on a couple of years. When this is over my wife will pay a steep steep price for this!

Here is the point of this post. On Thursday, I call my wife while I;m at work to see if she wanted to spend some quality time together in the afternoon if I could get some time off. While I'm talking to her I hear all this noise, bells and voices in the background.

She says, "I can't hear you, me and my sister are at the casino."

WTF???????? How are these two jokers in the casino at midday on a Thursday when one is supposed to be studying for finals and the other should be looking for a damn job? The students and jobless people I know are broke. I thought that was a prerequisite but apparently not.

So then several hour later my wife calls asking the question I knew she would ask because I know her and her sister are degenerate gamblers.........

"Can you pick up the baby since you are going to get off early."

'WTF???????????' they then gamble until late in the evening.

So that leaves me to pick up the 4 year old. I pick her up and it is her and I for the evening. She asks for gravy for dinner? Yes gravy, no potato, of meat just gravy. Well since everyone else around here can be irresponsible so can I. She showed me the leftover gravy in the fridge. So I took it out and warmed it up. She ate it like soup. I have Rice Krispies and we were both happy.

The next day I express my displeasure with wanting to spend time with my wife and ending up with a kid, gravy posing as soup and a bowl of Rice Krispies. I was rewarded with my wife and SIL wanting me to go to the casino with them........Again WTF????????

They went to the casino for over 12 hours!!!!! 12 FREAKIN HOURS!!!!!!!! The 4 year old and I ate whatever we saw fit. Ice Cream, Rice Krispie Treats, Cookies and Apples dipped in gravy!

Wifey thinks she can break me off a little sex and that will make things better........break off a lot of sex and I may soften up.......until then this weekend is mine. I am going to sit around and scratch my balls all weekend!!!!! Well, I gotta put up the Christmas tree first.

Finally, I have some ammo for this marriage counseling crap!!!!!!!!

I guess I will talk about Tiger at some point. I will do that next post.
