Took it easy today, but I took it<\/a>. Tomorrow I will have a nice easy run too. Since I won’t be racing, Thanks Tranincorsa people for helping me out with registration for your race, I really appreciate it, idiots. Seriously, if things are going to be a pain, I’m not going to bother. Inexcusable to not even bother to respond to my email.
\nMeanwhile, it looks like my friend, the bad hairpiece from Queens is not doing well. Dropped significantly this week after his disastrous debate. Good, couldn’t happen to a more deserving individual. I know there will be other debates, but I hope he can’t recover from this, I hope enough people saw how horrible he is that there isn’t even a choice.
\nWork starts Monday! Sweet. I kind of can’t wait to get back to it. It’s been kind of hell without much money to do things, pretty much just sitting in my apartment all day. Have to remember to ask the landlord if he’s willing to make a deal to get some real internet in here. Now mind you Italy has the WORST internet in all of Europe! I’m not joking about that. It’s rated the worst, but any ADSL will be better than what I pay for this 4g mifi device with only 20gb bandwidth a month, it’s obscene!
\nItaly is such a lovely place, and the people are so kind and generous, but it’s run like a libertarian paradise, which means it’s pure hell. The idiocy, the bureaucracy, the plain poor infrastructure at times is maddening. Look people, there’s a reason to pay taxes, when we want services, we need to pay for them. Just today, or yesterday, our friend Drumpf said that we would make everyone’s dreams come true. In the meantime he’s been talking about the usual republican nonsense about people not having to pay so much in taxes and stuff. Folks, this is pure bullshit. If you want things, there is a price to pay. Either hard work, or taxes, and sometimes both. In this system, it’s usually both, so anyone that tells you to trust them, they have it covered, you don’t have to pay, and all your dreams will come true, is 100% full of shit. Without anything else needing to be said.
