I watched the truck race last night. I didn't watch the burnout. I am so sick of Kyle Bush, it isn't even funny. I keep waiting for him to his a losing streak to teach him some humility and whatnot, but it just ain't happening.
He's a flaming idiot, as far as I am concerned and it's disgusting that if push came to shove, I'd have to bet on him if it came down to it. I felt that way about Jimmy Johnson, too, but ever since I won the campground pool at Talladega, I've kind of changed my mind.
I used to like Kyle Bush. I really did. When he came on the scene, his brother was the one acting the fool. Every time I see Kyle win a truck race, I miss Bobby Hamilton so much.
Kurt finally hit a losing streak after winning a championship. He all but got fired that year, as well. His team owner did away with the number and parked him for the last race or two at the end of the season.
I like watching the truck races because that's where all the old school style racing is. Love to watch them guys mix it up. There ain't no whining down there at the truck level either. That is the series where you'll see Kevin Harvick slide across the front of someones truck to jump up in their face. No whining though.
Not too many of the Cup guys can race the trucks, though. You'll see Cup guys try to race a truck, and they can't even get it qualified. That's what happened to Smoke last time he tried a truck. Same with DW. They gave him a clock anyway, the bastards.
You'll see Truck guys go to Cup and have the same problems, too. Kvapil is a Truck series champion and can't drive a car for shit. The guys that CAN drive both, are pretty damn awesome. Harvick, Edwards, and Biffle being 3. Bobby Hamilton did ok in a car, too. Brendan Gaughn can't drive a Cup car, and not too many of the Cup, guys even try to drive a truck. It's humiliating when you can't even qualify.
Anyway, I'm sick of Kyle Bush. Sick to death. Smashing that guitar last year...ugh. The little bastard keeps winning, too...that's the disgusting part. Except he isn't doing too much in Cup.
I'm just going to keep waiting for him to hit his losing streak. It's got to happen sooner or later. Either that or he's going to piss off the wrong person. The announcers keep saying.."Man, we're sorry for having to talk about Kyle Bush all the time. But, WOW"...blah, blah, blah. Nobody wants to see the same guy win race after race...especially the unpopular guy. They'll quit watching. I almost quit watching last night except Hornaday made a late run and almost won it. Sigh.

Party At The End Of The World
I love that song. Helps me keep perspective. The world is certainly going to hell in a hand-basket, that's for sure.
I'm just working on getting my shit together so that at the end of it all, there's a party. The world can't possibly suck forever. But there are periods of time where it certainly does suck. The years of the bubonic plague. When we brought smallpox and gave it to the Indians. The great flood. Now that really sucked. And it kind of sucks now. Mostly due to mother nature.
People always forget that we are animals, too. Granted we are the highest animals on this planet, but that doesn't make us any less animals. Especially important to remember because as smart as we are, we cannot do a damn thing about the earth. We have no control over earthquakes and tsunamis, and hurricanes and tornadoes. We have done quite a bit on the disease end of it all...maybe. What with superbugs and all, we still really don't have control over any of it.
This is all independent of economy and politics and no budget, the bastards, and any of the stuff going on that is just complete and utter bullshit. How hard is it to make sure the troops are paid?
I actually believe that all this stuff we're all focused on and worried about...is all a moot point. I think that when mother nature lets loose, all that shit is going to go away. Things are going to get real simple. You have to work at simplifying things, trust me. In some ways it's not so hard, then in other ways it is.
And even if it is the economy..which is a totally people driven industry..driven by worry. People are worried about Japan, so the Japanese stock took a huge dip, which in turn affected ours, because people got worried about the companies that depended upon Japanese parts...and yada yada yada. For that reason right there, we need to start making some of this stuff at home now. We need to become totally independent as a country, and a continent. We really ought to make some peace down in South America and so on and so forth, because when it all happens, we'll be lucky to still be connected to them, I think. We have the natural resources to be independent. But what is going on? Do we want to hoard our supply until it's the only one left? Yes, it costs a couple of more bucks to start up all the equipment and infrastructure to achieve that, but stuff like that pays for itself.
So, with this and that, I think I'm just going to keep on simplifying my life, get more efficient, and try and make sure I'm around for the party at the end. You gotta practice if you're going to achieve that, though. Work hard, play hard, still the motto after all this time.
