Lovey Smith

I don't know man, I'm really starting to think that he was lucky till now. I mean the Super Bowl year he kept starting Grossman (BAD idea) but he had Urlacher at his peak, Devin Hester at his peak, Mike Brown at his, I'm starting to think the Bears were winning in SPITE of Lovey not BECAUSE of him.
He makes such BAD choices, not based on whats best for the team to win, but based on his personal feelings. He did not LIKE their defensive coordinator on a personal level, so he let him go. Wait what? He did not LIKE him? SO WHAT? Does he get the job done? YES did he do it well, YES, THE BEST!
SO what am I saying? We need to run Lovey out of Town On a rail! Dag Nabbit!

MICHAEL SAVAGE

So it seems that Conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage has been added to a list of people who are not allowed in Briton. Why? Because they don't like what he has to say. Wait, what? I thought Briton was a democracy, kinda like the U.S.? I don't know I mean to ban him from entering the country? I might not agree with his politics but that's kinda overboard isn't it? Kinda like a free speech issue? COME ON PEOPLE I don't care if you think he's a jerk, this is absolutely unacceptable! Go to http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/ And Sign the petition to get his name removed from that list!

If I Won The Lottery

So the Mega Millions Lottery is up to $250,000,000 so I figured what the heck, and I bought a ticket. Now I am thinking, what if I won? This isn't like winning a million, or two or three million, it's 250 million! That's quite a sizable chunk of cheese! I always thought about if won one or two million, basically I would set up my investments in a way that I can continue my current standard of living, but without having to work... quite conservative and boring really... But with 250 million? That kinda changes the rules of the game quite a lot.
So what will I do if I win the 250 million?
Well first I have to consider how much of that I would actually be able to keep after the feds get their piece. I say, realistically, 129 million. Okay so I have 129 million, First thing I would buy a nice ...NICE... house, with tons of land. I would spend an insane 20 million on the land and the home, and STILL have 109 Million left! One million in a trust fund for each of my children, for a total of 3 million, and I still have 106 Million! OH I forgot a new car for my wife and I, that's about a hundred grand right there, hardly a dent. Lets say I buy some classic cars just for fun and spend a full million on cars, I still have 105. Okay So I have a few ideas for businesses, four to be exact, so I can start each one of my dream businesses, say for 10 million each, I would still have 65 million, AND income coming in from my businesses. I give each of my spouse, and my family, and brothers and sisters a million each, and still have 50 million. I can put ten in stocks, ten in bonds, ten in gold, and still have 20 million! Put ten in various offshore bank accounts because the U.S.A. only insures the first 100 thousand, Leaving me 10 million fun money! France! Greece! Vegas! Guitars!!! I would buy every Gibson guitar I could get my hands on, Fender strats, and teles, Fernandez guitars, Schecters, esp's taylors, PRS on man OH and Halloween stuff! Our house would have a whole live undead section with death metal blasting 24 hours a day and animated corpses walking around. Oh Baby!
And with my businesses I would turn those millions into Billions! OH man if I won the lottery I get so rich it would be almost illegal! Yea! Yes! I gotta win! AND what pisses me off is that I always hear about these people who won the lottery and it ruined their lives, IT WOULD NOT RUIN MINE!!! Let ME win it! I DESERVE IT MORE Than someone who would just waist it and let it destroy them.

James Camerons Avatar

I find it interesting first off that the new M. Night Shyamalan movie, The Last Airbender, actually is the live action version of Avatar, but Cameron has been working on Avatar for so long now it seems appropriate that Shyamalan change the name of his picture from Avatar to The Last Air Bender.
Why even bring that up? Because these are going to be the next two movies I actually am going to see ON OPENING NIGHT NO MATTER WHAT!! And I WILL Buy the D.V.D.'s and I only buy the best. (Or the cheapest dollar bin stuff)
If you have no idea what I am talking about, well, Get on Board because Avatar will probably be the highest grossing film of all time when it is all said and done. I predict it will be the first film to break a billion domestically. (Other films have made more than a billion worldwide, but I men JUST in the U.S.) Just think of it this way for a minute, Cameron made Aliens, Great! Terminator II, Awesome! Abyss, well it was good. Real good dag nabbit! Nobodys perfect. Then he made Titanic, which lets face it, made tons and tons and tons of cash. It Was HUGE. Now take everything that was good about those films, throw out everything thats bad, spend 14 years working on the fim to make sure its only the good stuff, and then thats AVATAR!
The last Airbender on the other hand, may or may not be that well received, but I personally don't care because, love his movies or hate them, Shyamalan is one of the most talented and technically skilled directors in the world today, and to see him tackle an action pick is very VERY exciting to me.

EGGS ON HALLOWEEN

I like eggs. They are yummy! Fried egg sandwich with ketchup, scrambled eggs with caramelized onions and cheese and bacon bits and chopped ham, sunny side up eggs with toast to dip into yoke with pork chops, over easy with black pepper and sliced green pepper, omelets with the works, hard boiled with salt, soft boiled with salt, chopped up in an egg salad, deviled eggs, raw in a cup Rocky Balboa style, I don't care how you make 'em I want 'em. But there is one way I don't like eggs, and that's on my windshield.
Now, my favorite holiday besides Christmas is Halloween. I LOVE Halloween, but there is a problem... Don't get me wrong now I don't care that kids throw eggs on Halloween, as lame as it is it is ultimately harmless, just need to wash it off. BUT the IDEA was always the people who don't give you candy, THEY get the eggs, they get the T.P. treatment, not just anybody for no reason. Just doing it for no reason, why that's no fun at all. THESE KIDS TODAY NEED TO LEARN THE RULES!!!
SO here is my List Of Halloween Rules,

1. Egg and T.P. people who were clearly home when you rang but still did not give you candy, UNLESS; You are not wearing ANY costume, or makeup or anything, if that is the case see rule number 2.
2. Egg and T.P. people who trick or treat with no type of costume at all, not even some stupid black makeup smeared over their eyes like Elliot in E.T. ; Conversely, It is okay to egg and t.p. anyone over the age of 13 dressed as a Power Ranger, My Little Pony, Care Bears, Shazam, Elmo, Buzz Lightyear, or Rey Mysterio.
3. Satanic rituals should only be attempted by experienced evil people, card carrying satanists, or Conan O'brian. Eggs should only be tossed at people that are using the idea of devil worship as an excuse to get drunk, possibly laid, in a cemetery.
4. The shaving cream bit is a lame waist of money, however if you do insist on using it, I recommend Edge Gel. It is cool because it comes out as a green glob, and when they try to rub it off it just foams up and gets stickier.
5. Ding dong ditch should not be attempted on Halloween, as it could cause people to not answer the door for legitimate Trick or Treaters; it is therefore acceptable to egg anyone caught playing said game.
6. Leave the kids under 13 alone, let them enjoy being young, let them dress up, let them get their candy, wait till it's dark and they are asleep. This also is good because the dark makes it easier for you to escape!
7. If you are going to Egg a police car, first make sure there are no cops in it! Then hit it fast, in and out bam bam, don't linger!
8. For some extra added fun, try mixing in some soft boiled eggs, they make a unique kind of spattered brains looking mess when cooked and thrown properly.
9. Don't eat the brown acid
10. Eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs! Yes! Eggs!!

Bunch of Bull

So I just learned that Citibank is pretty evil. I cannot afford to pay for my car anymore. So they say I can let them take it or they will repo it. I said well you can take it because I can't make the payments anymore. They said well no you still have to make the payments. I said well if I don't make the payments you take the car, so what, take it I don't want it. And they said, NO you still have to make the payments, we'll take you to court, garnish your wages, do whatever we have to do to get our money. For a car I don't have anymore? Yep. NO! GRRRRR!!! Evil, wicked nasty, bad bad company.

New Conspiracy Theory

Okay I have a new theory. I think that the economy is not as bad as they say, in fact I think it's great! The conspiracy theory? Well I think that the government, and the major corporations (who are really one and the same these days) got together and decided that they had to tell us all, through the news and magazines all the other media, that the economy was a mess, so that they could use that as an excuse to lay people off even though the company is doing fine, and have the government and the companies, literally become the same thing through bailouts and the like. I think the whole idea was to create the one world economy, but this country is so against being part of the global 'new world order' and all that, that the only way they could get away with it would be to scare us into thinking that WE need those changes!

Obamas Birthday

Well, today is Barack Hussein Obama's birthday, and it's all over the news. He's 48! Wow, now THAT is news! Forget the fact that women are being beaten with sticks for wearing pants, forget that 90% of the Muslim world thinks that the key to heaven is to kill Jews, forget that American workers are getting laid off in droves, it's some douche bag politicians birthday, Celebrate or be Punished! IF you do not celebrate you are racist! Yes, yes, the race card! Always play the race card!

SCAM ALERT!

::::I Would Not Normally Re-post the same post in more than one of my blogs, but getting this information out there to the public is THAT important::::::
I just received a check in the mail for $2,985.00. This is a very real looking, counterfeit, check. The deal: There are many variations on the theme, but ANYTHING that asks you to cash a check, wire some of the money, and keep the rest as your pay, is a Scam! This one said that it was a mystery shopping job, they were sending me the money to test (mystery shop) a western union. The deal was, I cash the check, wire $2, 600 to them and keep the rest as my commission. The scam: The check will eventually come back, and I would then be responsible to repay the full amount to the bank or currency exchange or whatever. Meanwhile the people who I wired the money too, get off Scott free. The FIRST thing I did was to call the Federal Trade Commission and Report the whole thing however there is little they can do. What If This Happens to You? Well the only thing is, never, EVER cash the check. Don't deposit it. Burn it, tear it up, frame it in a giant frame, with a little card under it that says in a teeny tiny font 'grift shift' and call it a conceptual art piece, But DO NOT CASH IT! The biggest problem with these is that they use the logos, names and addresses of legitimate companies, so like when I called the FTC all I could do was report a fraudulent check from a company that did not issue the check, hence the fraud, AND the fact that bank would have cashed it. Who would not cash a payroll looking check from a well known company?

The Police and Being Black

With all this talk about the police arresting a Harvard scholar for breaking into his own home I have been thinking about race relations, and some of my own experiences, as a white man, with the police.
Okay so, first of all if I were to mouth off to a cop I would be told that I should know better and I would be called an idiot for not knowing to keep my mouth shut. But if I was black all of a sudden the cop is the idiot and a racist. That is reverse discrimination and is not fair.
HOWEVER, that being said, white people who deny that black people are treated unfairly by the police are completely clueless! Anyone who thinks that justice is fair and police do not treat whites better, well, here is a true story that happened to me.
I was hanging out in a dead end ally, drinking beers, under age, with a black friend when a beat cop walked up on us. We saw him coming, and clearly he saw what we were doing. There was no getting out of it, no place to run. We were caught, red handed, and I was already contemplating what I was going to say to my parents. The cop was looking dead at my friend and started rolling up his sleeves. He glanced at me and said "Go home kid, but the jungle bunny stays."
I'll never forget that, I was raised very much Liberal and that was my first real experience with racism. Before that I thought racism was something that happened a long time ago, before any of us were ever born.
The biggest argument I hear from ignorant white people is that the slaves were freed over 100 years ago, why do they still complain? This is an ignorant comment because even though that was a long time ago, segregation was just gotten rid of in the 1960's. That means that black people that are, say between 25 and 40, were raised by parents, not great grandparents, not grandparents, but their mothers and fathers, grew up in a world where it was illegal for them to pee in the same toilet as a white person. And they are supposed to be all happy and grateful that their life is so wonderful now.
Just remember, they are not in the ghetto because they are stupid, or lazy, or evil, they are in the ghetto because there poor, and they are poor because we had the entire history of this country to build up our communities and earn a decent living, and they have only been able to do so for the past 40 years. And guess what, when we had only been here for 40 years, we where the poor ones. The Irish immigrants were considered criminals, and drunks and were treated poorly, and the Italian immigrants were poor, and considered all mafia members and on and on. Every population that was looked down upon as criminals and lazy and thieves, were poor and, because they were looked down upon, had to work twice as hard to build up to where everyone else was. The main difference between where the black population is now, and where the minority white populations of the past were at that time, is that, back then, even poor white people that were treated badly, were treated better than blacks so now they have to work three times as hard as everyone else for the same benefit.

Obama?

Okay I am still trying to have some faith in this guy, but I don't know. He's a Democrat, and they are supposedly supposed to help us normal people instead of the small percentage of the rich who get help all the time from the government. However, I don't know, I hear what he has said he is going to do, but then I look at what he HAS done, and what do I see?
He made a whole bunch of multi millionaire car company owners, able to declare bankruptcy and keep their millions of dollars, AND get Government bonuses, while the normal people STILL got laid off anyway. Yeah he saved the car companies... owners, the rich guys, butts. What about ours?
Okay okay lets not just bash Obama you just tell me, sense he's been in office he has given away TRILLIONS of dollars, how much of that did you get? How much? $8? $12? People who make 20 million dollars a year, they got 75 or 80 million dollars each, because they need diamond encrusted gold plated sinks, and what do we get? What is this great CHANGE he promised? WHERE is this great change? OH so he only is going to raise taxes on people who make over $250,000 Right, for what? To give all that extra tax money to medical and prescription COMPANIES, fortune 500's and doctors that make WAY WAY WAY more than $250,000 IT IS TRICKLE UP economics!!!
Relax, just think for a moment, before you get all mad at me for slamming Obama, just forget all the hype, and everything else I said for a moment and just ask yourself again, what has he done for YOU? He made a lot of very rich people much richer, but what has he done for YOU?
Sean Hannity keeps going off about Obama being like Robin Hood, But that's not true at all, Obama does not want all that money he is going to take from people who make $250K and give it to the poor, he is giving it to the billionaire company owners so they will allow us to vaccinate our children. Oh what humanitarians! GIVE ME THE MONEY I'll BUY The shots myself! Cut each of US, who make under 250K a check for $150,000 That will cost a trillion, same as he's spending anyway! AND it'll fix the economy in a week the DOW would jump up 400,000,000 points.

Stupid Red Light Cameras!

Okay so I don't know where your at but here in Chicago we have red light cameras that we're put there to "make us more safe" Bullstine! and I can prove it! Dag nabbit they actually make it more dangerous, why? Because when they put a red light camera on a light, they also LOWER THE TIME OF THE YELLOW!!!! That way they can write more tickets! So making money has become more important that the safety of the proletariat I suppose. And the Bourgeoisie sit in city hall and count their money and Laugh and laugh and laugh because Daily knows he will never loose an election.. DAMN IT The whole move to Canada thing looks like a better idea everyday!

Why Are People So Stupid?

Honestly, I mean WTF. I was in the gas station this morning, and I bought a bottle of Mtn Dew, World of Warcraft Game Fuel, (HORDE of course!) And I handed the dude $37.92 And said, this, and the change on pump 1. He looked at me like I just asked him to kill his own grandmother. He looked at me, then at the money, then at the pump. Then he said "um..." I mean WTF? All he had to do was ring up the drink, type in 3792 then the cash register would do the math for him, IT WOULD DO THE MATH FOR HIM he did not even have to figure it out. SO what did he do? He took two fives out of the register and made change for the ten I gave him, so he would have a 20, two 5's and two 1's Instead of the 20, 10, and two 1's I gave him. Then he took the money for the drink out of one of the 5' s so he he could make change for that, then he counted that, and stopped because he realized he missed a step somewhere and looked around bewildered again, and at that point I just told him how much to charge me and he nodded and smiled and set the pump for what I said.
So, I think this is a great example of where our country is headed, the new cash registers have auto change slots, they don't even need to know how to count change. We need to be either stupid, or lazy because if we were all intelligent and active, we would realize not only how badly the government is screwing us, but we would be smart enough and strong enough to actually do something about it. They want us stupid. And they are doing a great job of it!

The 4th of July

Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought forth on this continent a new nation... If you have never actually read the Gettysburg address, I highly recommend it. Lincoln truly understood what this country was about. I wonder how many people these days do. Not once, anywhere in there, in the entire address, does he mention anything about, the meaning of life or the American dream, being to get rich. It's all about freedom and Liberty, and most of all, about the fact that the president, no matter if it's Bush or Obama, Ragen or Clinton, and all the sex crazed money grubbing kooks in the house and senate, are NOT the government, WE are. They are supposed to represent us, not their own pocket books. Or even Our pocket books for that matter! Their job is supposed to be to make sure the army is there to stop people from trying to kill us, the roads are there so we can travel, mostly for trade, and to regulate eachother, not us.
At least thats what I make of it. What do you think?

Digital T.V. is CRAP CONSPIRICY!

Okay so my children do not have cable t.v. in their room, they just have an old fashioned TV with an antenna. So we went ahead and got the converter box for the digital conversion. Okay so here is what I don't understand... The government says we have to go digital because it is that much better. That is insane, the government is a bunch of rich morons who are not watching over the air television in the first place. NO they have contracts with the people who control the digital media and are telling us digital is better because they are getting paid to tell us that.
Anyone can say anything they want to argue that it is better, the FACT of the matter is I have to watch this garbage and here is the difference...
OLD T.V. : Batman and Robin climb the side of a building, Liberace pops out of a window and says "Hey look it's the Dynamic Duo." To which Robin replies "Holy candelabra Batman, it's Liberace!"
NEW (government says better) T.V. Batman and Robin cli....m.....ba.... side blocky pixels building, Liberace .... blocks pixels, look it's...namic Du.... To wi... in replies ..Holy candelabra Bat... blocky pixels ache!
OKAY so the picture quality is better, SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IF IT DOSENT WORK!!! I would rather see a staticy picture than a really sharp blocky pixelated nothingness.

So whats the point? The government is EVIL dag nabbit! REVOLUTION!! Or at least a REAL tea parties not some "Oh yeah hey like we wanna protest here but we don't wann get in any ones way or anything so don't worry we'll just move it over to the next street or just send everyone home no problem have a nice day officer."

Marijuanna

So what is all the big fuss about anyway. I mean honestly, like whats the big deal if someone smokes a joint? Like who cares, and why? Honestly, I wouldn't want my 14 year old daughter to smoke it, but if some guy wants to put on his headphones and listen to Pink Floyd, while smoking a bit or reefer, why is that so bad, honestly whats the big deal, I DON'T GET IT, please tell me, why is that so bad?

The Same person could get nasty ass puking, beating his kids, falling down drunk and no one would say a word. Nope not a syllable. But some guy takes two hits off a joint while listening to Pantera, and we gotta lock his ass up! Okay whatever.

What Is The Best Dang Thing On T.V.? W.W.E.!

I'm Serious! What else has a new episode, 3 to 4 days a week, no re-runs, EVER, is filmed live, and can be seen live, somewhere near your town, sometime soon. Arguments against Pro Wrestling and my answers to them....
"It's Just a Soap Opera For men!" Yes, and I am a MAN next?
"It's Fake!" Oh? So when you watch the Matrix, you think Keanu Reeves ACTUALLY CAN FLY? Now that's fake, but you enjoy it anyway.
"They can't act!" Again, you think Keanu can?
"The stories just repeat themselves over and over." Right and the story of Neo, a regular guy who finds out at the end that he can save the world, is not at all like Luke Skywalker a regular guy finding out he can save the world, or Harry Potter a regular guy finding out he can save the world, or Frodo Baggins a regular Hobbit finding out he can save the world, or on and on and on, no repetition there at all.
"It sucks!" You Suck.

Da Bears

Just wanted to mention, as it's June I wont harp on it to much, but I love, Love, LOve, LOVe, LOVE the Bears!

My prediction for the 2009 season? Chicago Bears, 15-0 with a total of 14000 points scored, 30% by Cutler 30% by Hester 30% by Olsen, and 10% by Ditka by proxy.

In the Superbowl, the final score will be Da Bears 408 The Bad Guys -18. In overtime the soul of Mike Ditka will float down from Heaven and guide the ball into the end zone for a 99 yard field goal for the win. Although Ditka is not yet dead, he is just that damn good! Da Bears!

Why I don't Like Wafflehouse!

Okay so first I do like their food, I like it a lot BUT..
When I walk into a place called Waffle House, it makes me think the house of waffles. I am expecting to get a menu that says something like, Belgium Waffle, Strawberry Waffle, Blue Berry Waffle, Banana Nut waffle, Powdered Sugar covered Waffle, All that.. so What DOES the menu say?? Waffle. That's it, they only have one flavor, or even style, of waffle. The Pancake house has all kinds of different pancakes. But the waffle house has just, waffle. That's it.

However, their biscuits and gravy is the shiz nit!

Heaven and Hell?

With all this talk about death in the news as of late, it beings up some interesting ideas for me. I think often about if there is a such thing as heaven and hell. It seems hell is a kind of new idea, relative to the original Hebrews and the magi before that. (if you don't know what I mean by Magi there was a man, Zoroaster who was arguably the first person to teach of their being one God who created all, his followers were called magi, the three magi, or wise men, who visited the baby Jesus in the story of Christmas were followers of the teachings of Zoroaster) So what if hell was just invented to scare people into being good, and I think even more importantly, to give good people an idea of justice.

SO Whats The Point? If there is no hell, no on really ever gets punished for their crimes. Sure they may go to jail, where they get to work out and have sex with each other and take drugs all day, but is that really punishment? You tell me.

A Plan For A Perfect U.S.A. or If I Were President

Okay so here's an idea, an idea to fix all of our problems all at once. It's a two tier process.

One, the government takes all the money it is going to spend, on everything, all of it, and divides that total number, trillions of dollars, and divide it by the total number of people who filed a tax return last year. Of course there will be two different amounts, taken from that average dollar amount, for couple vs. individual. Then the government takes that money and cuts a check to every one of us, making each of us instantly rich.

Now once this happens everyone is going to quit their job, hence the second tier of the plan.

Two, instead of trying to contain of stop immigration, we start to actively recruit people to come here to replace all the jobs that everyone had quit. So the economy will boom as everyone will have money to burn, and the companies will make insane profit as we all buy stock in companies that pay their employees only a fraction of what they were paying before.

BAM economic problem-Solved, Immigration problem- Solved.

From Michael

"Heal the world

Make a better place for you and for me..."

MICHAEL JACKSON JUST DIED!

Whatever anyone says about him, his music was a major part of my childhood. Music is what I am all about really, and I am all about death metal and prog and all of that. Yet when i read he died, well, I almost cried. Alright call me a wuss whatever the dude was a fantastic entertainer and if he did do bad things to children then good that he died, but MAYBE HE DIDN'T DO THAT STUFF AFTER ALL, and if not...

He wrote we are the world, he wrote Heal the world, he danced with Zombies for crying out loud, I don't care how hardcore you are, whats cooler than zombies!!! ZOMBIES!!!

Michael Jackson, may he rest in peace.

The Mars Volta

If you don't know who these guys are, find out! Music has been Boring for a while, now, finally, some bands are doing some interesting stuff. And these guys are right there at the top.

The way Music works, historically speaking, is interesting to me. It seems like every so many years we get a resurgence in complex music, like this new prog scene. From system of a down, and the Mars Volta, to Leftover Crack and Y.O.G. There is progressive death metal, progressive rock, prog prog prog, I love it. But it is a result of years of simple 3 cord rock. It goes this way because it is always too much of one or the other. Never any balance. The Best groups set the trends that all the other bands copy until the market is so saturated that it all becomes assembly line cookie cutter crap until the next group comes that sets the next trend that starts the cycle over again. This all have an overall back and forth, for example, the heavy metal and rock bands that grew in popularity in the 90's were a backlash from the new wave and pop bands that were so popular in the 80's. The 70's a result of the 60's and so on. Here is my favorite specific example, the 60's were actually a pretty hardcore time, the music was changing, there were riots in the street, everyone was on drugs and proud of it. It was so crazy and intense that when the 70's hit, bands like the Carpenters and Bread were very popular, people just wanted to relax. And some just wanted to have fun, and not think about stuff, hence disco. However, there were still people who wanted to hear some good old rock and roll, therefore, KISS and AC/DC became MEGA POPULAR. Led Zeppelin was still around and there were a LOT of great rock bands, but those two specifically, were a direct result of the music around them, there were the opposite in many ways, and the trigger to Punk. BUT that's a whole nother post all together.

SO WHATS THE POINT? Buy The Mars Volta Records!

The U.S.A. Arrogant?

There has been a great deal of talk these days about the president apologizing to foreign nations for our arrogance. Some people seem to think he is showing the rest of the world his weakness, while others think he is helping rebuild our reputation as a world leader. Me? I think we need to take a good long look at ourselves.

Now think about this, if we say we are the greatest country in the world, what does that to say to every other country? Well it says they are not. Who are we to say we are better than them, have you ever lived in Canada? England? Germany? Spain? Greece? Any other country? You know for a fact that living here is better? Really? We are better than Sweden? Are we? You know that for a fact? Okay so if we are so much better than every other country, tell me, why? How so? Arrogant? How about the FACT that we live in North America, so the U.S.A. and Canada are In North America. How about South America? Peru, Chile, Brazil. All these con tries are in the Americas, and we are the only ones who have the audacity to call ourselves Americans. SO WHAT DOES THAT SAY TO THEM? Other people who live in the Americas are being told, every day, that are NOT Americans we are! Are we Arrogant? Have we earned the right to be?

Are we the Continental version of Marlon Brando, telling directors how he wants to do a scene, the directors going absolutely insane trying to convince him he is wrong, but he does it his way anyway, then wins the Oscar for best actor... again! I don't know, you tell me.

Being A Dad

I have two children, and a third on the way. I love being a dad, I really do, those kids really make my day, everyday. But wow, it is HARD. They run, and run, and keep running! Like the dang 'ol energizer bunny! And now it seems they are driving my wife insane.

It's odd, I always would hear my mom, other kids moms, everyone really, talking about their kids made them crazy, but now I understand. When I come from work my happy ass walks in the door all excited to be off work, whistling deathmetal riffs with a spring in my step, I am always, each day, in for a surprise. The problem is that I never think of it that way, that is, I love my wife and kids so much and I am so excited to be off of work, I cant help but walk in the door with a smile on my face, "Hi honey!" Well now just imagine, your her, and all day these two children have been running and breaking and screaming and yelling and stomping mud in the carpet and eating dirt and spilling pomegranate juice and peeing on the kitchen floor to see who can make the biggest puddle and there is my dumb ass, with a big shit eatin grin "Hi honey!" I must look like the devil to her at that point. What the hell am I so happy about! How would I like to clean up after two wild monkeys! (they are so damn cute though!)

Anyway this is what it is, this is what life is, So Whats The Point?
The point is that Life is hard, everything is hard, but there are moments, small beautiful moments, the ones that, if there is a God, were created by him to make life worth living. Those moments, when the daughters look me in eye, say "I love you dada." And I can tell, the mean it, absolutely, unwaveringly, complete real pure love. Or cuddling with my wife, the short times in bed, comfortable, make all the yelling an screaming almost worth it. Seriously though, happiness is never an ongoing experience, it is small moments, savor them.

Why Modern American Capitalism WONT work

Okay here's some truth for ya, capitalism wont, cant, work. Here's why...
First, there is no way everyone can be rich, everyone always says its great because Anyone can become rich, no they can't. Not that the opportunity is not there, but because it can not possibly happen.. Think of it this way... if Everyone was rich, who would flip burgers? Park cars? Build cars? Press your pants? Build your house? If everyone was rich, everyone would quit their jobs, except maybe artists and tip top moguls. Then what good would having billion dollars to you if you cant buy a T.V. Because who is gonna work in the warehouse to ship them if their Rich?
Second, the definition of profit has changed, a corporation no longer can put money in their pocket and smile because, if a company makes, say $10,000,000 PROFIT. Their stock will reflect that, NOW the next quarter they make $9,000,000 THEY MADE MONEY but its CALLED A LOSS!!! They have to make More and more each year, so the stock will continue to grow. This is why companies were making more money than ever before, and were laying people off in droves. The more they make the more have to make next time. BUT there is no UNLIMITED MONEY WELL they cant make more each time because the well will run dry eventually. So whats the answer? That's for tomorrows blog. Peace out my babies!

Women

I do believe that women see things, EVERYTHING differently. I don't just mean point of view, everyone, period, has a different point of view, but women perceive everything in a different way. Their experience of the world is absolutely unique when compared to that of a man, Indeed, completely unfathomable! I had a woman once, SCREAM at me to get out of her house, when I got home my phone rang, It was her, she was crying. She asked me, in tears, "Why did you leave me?!?!" WHAT!!!! That is mind of a woman. Not bad, or worse than a mans, but different.
So whats the point? Well I think we, men and women both, need to focus a bit more on this aspect of our personalities to get along better. Right now people say women are more emotional and men more logical, this, I believe is an oversimplification. We have to understand that we each experience life in completely different ways, flavors taste different, smells smell different, colors look different, sex feels different, everything is different. Not just the boobs thing.

Metallica

What ever happened to Metallica? Those guys were the cutting edge most hardcore band in the world. Then, it seems like, Slayer came around and Metallica got scared and ran away in fear. Maybe they thought if they played too well the devil might come after them. Bunch of douchbags.

Did the Holocaust Happen?

Okay, so I have been hearing a lot more of this conspiracy madness these days. There was a time when this was a small fringe group of morons toting some bizarre interpolation of Mine Kamph and The Protocols of the Elders Of Zion. These two books have done more damage to the world than, almost, the Bible itself! Anyway I don't wanna get into the whole 'people who think the Bible is literal are idiots' debate, that's for another post some other time. No this is about something I myself DO believe in and that is Zionism! First, people who think the holocaust was made up by the rest of the world to humiliate Germany, well that's just plane stupid. People who think it was conspiracy by the Jews to take over the world, well turning the world temporally against Germany, and getting a nice big piece of land in the middle of a desert, yeah that's the way to rule the world, from under a sand dune, sucking cactus juice, surrounded by head chopping, bomb wearing, Jew haten, pissed off Arabs. The fact of the matter is Israel is there. And has been for a long time now. People who were born there, and there are many now, are fighting for their home, the only home they know. Anyone can argue now over what should or should not have happened 50 years ago, but NOW, HERE, TODAY, it ALREADY HAPPENED. It's done. So what? Kill people! Yeah that's the answer! Kill everybody that's what God wants Mass murder! People come on, act like humans, heck even animals know better than to act like antisemites. These people are absolute lunatics! Whatever I'm gonna give myself a heart attack and piss off too many douchbags, I mean people who think that, people who think that, killing Jews is the key to 72 virgins in Heaven, are reasonable, rational people who deserves respect, ARE MORONS! The same people probably support N.A.M.B.L.A. too!

John Lennon, Elitist?

I had a conversation with a friend once, who brought up some interesting ideas. We were discussing the Beatles and why the were so important, and why they are still relevant. (he just doesn't get it) Anyway we were into the whole Hippie deal and the peace and love movement and all that, and he said that Lennon was so rich why didn't he just give all his money to charity if he was so great.
Well first off this is a somewhat narrow minded question in that HAD Lennon done that, or anyone else who was once rich for that matter, the same people who are asking why they didn't just give it all away, would instead be saying, "what kind of scumbag that had millions of dollars would just give it all away and leave his widow, ex wife and two children with nothing at all?" Then again, the same argument can be made for Gandhi, he had a family, practiced law, made a good buck, but he gave that all up. OF course this is a religious leader, being compared to a musical artist/entertainer. Which itself I would not really consider a fair comparison. In the end I think that we all, at least the wisest most decent of us, WOULD give it all away if we thought it would help, but these days, in this modern economy, all that would do is turn you into a dirty panhandler, and no ONE would listen to what you had to say about anything anyway.

Truth Vs. Honesty

I always felt that they were two different things. For example, a man who is deeply in love with a woman, may honestly believe that she is the most beautiful creature in the world. She may be an absolute Jabba the Hutt in truth, but he is being honest when he says she is beautiful. Or someone who is told something like "menthol cigarettes are made out of fiberglass!" The truth is menthol is the extract of the mint leaf, but people who don't know any better actually believe, and are therefore being honest when they say, it's fiberglass.
This is why truth detector machines are inadmissible in court, they are, really, honesty meters. Someone may honestly believe they are innocent. In fact, one can convince oneself of just about anything. If A man walks in on his wife humping another man, he may very well convince himself that he did nothing wrong when he killed her, and could very well pass a lie detector test.
So whats the point? The point is that you can be honest, without necessarily being truthful. There is a difference.
