Romance, Love Junkies, and Prostate Exams

I'm sitting at Starbucks in Chicago's Pipers Alley. This is my favorite Starbucks in the area. I drive a private taxi for  #Lyft. Every driver needs several coffee breaks  I do not order coffee anymore though. I now order black, unsweetened, lemonade iced tea. I used to drink coffee but the tea seems to be way better for my fragile prostate gland and kidneys.

I am supposed to be very happy today. I had a major romantic break through with someone I'm nuts about. She finally let me into her heart this weekend. No, not all the way but a lot of progress was made. For a love junkie like myself the feeling I have after our last date a few days ago is what I live for. 

She had shot me down again and again for about a month but she never shot me dead. Each rejection would only reinforce my determination to win her over. She kept seeing me but continually insisting she was not going to go for me. Well, play the bugle romantics. She actually started to really respond with passion even though it took some wine and spirits. It was not that entirely though. It was me. So what? All is fair in love and war. We will see what happens because already she is back to pushing me away today despite every indication that she was getting swept away. She is like a gigantic tree that I have now chopped into so many times it is beginning to crack. But, I can't yell timber yet

As for my prostate gland I am now 66 years old. I had an extensive urological examination including a dreaded cystoscopy stuck into my penis. But, I feel good because no cancer was found and no immediate surgery is needed. It is still the same BPH (the growing problem) that I have had for several years. Thus, the lemonade iced tea and many lemons in plain water that I heard was good for kidney stones. (I had a stone triggering all the examinations and procedures.) Fortunately, I fired this very prominent, accomplished urologist who originally was my Dr.  He wanted to do the cystoscopy exam but I started to question how much this "expert) really knew.

So I terminated him because he did not have logical answers for questions I asked. The new Dr. surmised that this other Dr., who he knew well, probably had not done surgery in 10 years.

Anyway, here I am typing away again somewhat lonely and depressed but not nearly as bad as I was a few weeks ago.

I would like to get a single response to this entry that I can publish so I know I am not just typing into the wind!!

Quinn vs Rauner: Good and Bad

I like Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. I think he is a kind, devoted, loyal, public servant who does his best at his job everyday. I do not think he is sleazy, corrupt, bogus, and vicious as most of his contemporaries are. If one follows their heart they will re-elect Quinn.

I do not like and will not vote for Bruce Rauner. I think he stinks of having a ton of tainted money, being elitist,  and having no heart and soul .He is clearly in the race for the power and prestige of holding the governors office. Let's not give it to him. After all, he is just trying to buy it. Quinn has walked the walk. Rauner has never been a public servant. I do not think he knows how to act in the interests of anyone who is not rich, powerful, and successful.

If he wants to really offer public service he should volunteer to help the poor and underprivileged, get a job teaching or mentoring budding entrepreneurs. Something to satisfy his supposed craving for us lowly citizens. I feel that if Rauner gets defeated we will not ever hear from him again unless he runs for another political office.

At the end of the day there are no answers. The state is buried being repair financially. The debt is insurmountable and neither Rauner, Quinn, or anyone else will fix it. So, it gets down to electing someone who will try hard for us even while holding bad cards. I think Pat Quinn is the right man for the job of Illinois governor. I think people know that in their hearts.

Let's see?

Laz Parking Rapes the City of Chicago daily

Laz Parking made a deal with an ignorant, desperately cash strapped Mayor Daley several years ago which was one of the worst deals ever made on the planet. He sold the parking meter rights to Laz  which has made a fortune that keeps appreciating each day while the city of Chicago goes broke.

Who are the investors in Laz Parking? Why can't Mayor Emanuel get out of that atrocious deal that rips the city off daily for a bundle of critical cash?

We never hear about Laz. Why not? We get financially raped each day by Laz and no one says a word about those robbers. What about Laz Mr.Rauner, Gov.Quinn, Mayor Emanuel? Can any of you guys why we stay stuck in perpetuity with a deal that seems worth breaching despite the consequences.

There are powerful people who own the equity in Laz parking. Let's hear about the Laz rip off

Trestman: Smash A Tomato Can In The Mouth

I would like to see Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman smash a chair over one of his pathetic players heads. Or punch a SCORE radio commentator in the mouth.

That is what people want and love to see and read about. Remember big bully Mike Ditka? The hottest mess of any coach when the Bears were losing. He would angrily flip out just like people want Trestman to do.

That sure helped didn't it? Ditka got fired and his Bears got worse. But, the  "tomato can" fans loved him. Still do. Why? Because macho morons always keep things exciting.

Action is what people want. Sex drugs, and rock n roll does it every time. So does sensationalism

Who cares about intelligent, responsible behavior. That does not sell advertising or attract listeners. Craziness sells and don't think all the announcers and reporters don't know it. It pays their salaries. Some people understand  that concept. Many others don't.

So, people and mad dogs out there who are getting off on the Chicago Bears misery.
You are the real "tomato cans".

Chicago Bears fans are Tomato Cans

Tomato cans are what radio commentators Doug Buffone and Ed O'bradovich insultingly called weak, easy to knock around teams before Sundays Bear game against the Miami Dolphins. During the game those two has beens agreed that the Chicago Bears were the real tomato cans since they were playing so badly.

Well, did anyone ever stop to think that ratings from all Chicago media skyrocket when the Bears get defeated? The airwaves are filled with Bear bashing radio hosts going on a feeding frenzy. Advertising dollars must come pouring in when the Bears stink up the field otherwise airtime would not be wasted with around the clock Bear bashing.

The reporters argue with each other, with fans, and have a verbal orgy after the Bears lose. And they should. The listening audience would quickly tire if all the Bears did was win. There would be no controversy and that's what all reporters thrive on. So, stop acting like you are so incensed and angry about the Chicago Bears losing. You love it boys. Those losses are paying your salaries .

The real tomato cans are the fans that do not make any money from Bear losses. The just feel depressed
