The injun docs keep him full of blood pressure and cholesterol pills. He could easily make it to 40 due to their generosity.

Bushie, I think it's time to put any diet aside and celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles' elimination from the postseason with some authentic Italiano a la Domino's Pizza.

Ugh, you're another one. Enjoy the Wildcard game. See you very soon.

0400 - Watch the official birth of 2015 in Kiritimati, Kiribati.

You realize that place is a barely inhabited sh**t hole that no one cares about, and will someday not exist, right?  Do you just like typing it or do you care about the people there?

Earlier this month, our corporate office gave us this Wednesday and Friday off.  About 2 hours ago they announced that they are releasing us at 1400 on New Year's Eve.  We'll still have to work the rest of the week except Thursday, New Years Day, but it's a nice gesture to allow us to get to our New Years Eve destinations before the drunks commadier the roads!

Yes, I'm fully aware of that.  It still doesn't make the few people who live there any less relevant.

At 04:00 it does.  At that hour I don't care if the place becomes the next Atlantis.

Just like Oklahoma is as relevant as any other state.  Kiribati is the Oklahoma of island nations.

Do you think they care if you're up for their New Year or not?

This is, without a doubt, a very odd quirk, but it's also fairly benign. I'd rather encourage him to change his more destructive behaviors.

Dude, getting up at 4 and missing sleep when you're a fat with apnea is destructive. especially when it comes to a sh**thole like Kiribati as the reasoning.

Of course they don't care, but that's not the point.  The point is its just something fun I like to do.

It is just after 2000 Oklahoma time on this Monday evening.  The aforementioned Kiritimati will enter 2015 in just under 200 hours.  They are 20 hours ahead of Oklahoma during our winter and 19 in the summer.

Bushie, I never thought I'd say this to you, but you gotta start focusing on Christmas.

Bushie, I never thought I'd say this to you, but you gotta start focusing on Christmas.

I see what you're saying and I'm focusing on both quite well.  I'm not posting much about Christmas, because I've beat that horse to death over the past six months.  Of course, I have beat the New Year's horse to a bloody pulp over the past couple of weeks, but I am focusing on both quite well.  I am quite excited about celebrating my Savior's birth over the next few days.  I am excited about having a five day weekend to celebrate "properly"  I just also happen to be a man who likes transition in whatever it is.  I also have an, admittedly, unusual affection for time and calendars.  It's just part of what makes me tick (no pun intended).

Doesn't post about Christmas during the week of the actual holiday because he posted too much about it going back to, oh, June or so. But rest assured, he won't make the obvious change by not talking about it too much so early next year. No, no. In fact, he'll probably start earlier and get it out of his system by Veterans' Day!

I will say that on December 26 at 0000 (the first minute after Christmas Day ends), I will immediately begin the countdown to Christmas 2015.  In much the same capacity, on New Year's Morning at one minute after midnight, I will begin the countdown to 2016.  I won't say much about either until later in the summer, as I do want to enjoy the rest of the year and live in the moment as much as my psyche will let me and celebrate the rest of the holidays as they are meant to be celebrated and enjoyed.

Yeah, good idea living the 365 days ahead of you before worrying about the next 365.

New Years is definitely a holy holiday for Bushie. It means we only have 6-9 years left before the rapture instead of 7-10.

Eh, more like 7-9.  There is one specific event I'm looking for to start the final 7 years.  That is, an interim Mideast peace deal between the Palestinians and the Israelis.  John Kerry was trying to get one done last Christmas, but came away empty in late April.  We can't cautiously tick underneath 7 years until that happens.  I think it will happen soon, although I have no idea when.  That's why I'm cautiously thinking between 7-10 years.

None.  It's free on their "Prophecy in the News" section.

A temporary peace deal? We had that 20 years ago.

If the End Times come seven years after that, then the world ended right around the time Bush Jr became president. Makes sense to me Roll Eyes
