Just for the record

So I can blog for the week b/c I’m away from the computer and if you’ve ever tried to compose more than a tweet on an iPhone the you understand. But I can say sarAh paliN has given blogs lots to work with. I just want to say for the record I think she was bailing out of town just ahead of the posse.

This is so freakin right on I had to share it!!

This is so freakin right on I had to share it. Rich people have set up laws to give themselves special opportunities, but they want the rest of us to bail them out when they get in trouble…total horse shit. Hedge funds can only be invested in by accredited investor’s not by ordinary people. The reason for this is supposedly because these people have the back ground to know what they are getting into  AND they are wealthy enough to absorb the losses. You and I are banned from it because supposedly we can not, now I don’t necessarily agree with this (although I have no desire what-so-ever to invest in hedge funds, I agree with Mr. Buffets thinking about the 2 and 20 crowd) but if this is the way it’s going to be then so be it. However you can’t have it this way and then expect all of us peons to bail you out that is so obnoxious it’s ridiculous. If you put your entire net worth in some shady fund (and trust me anyone who checked it out at all knew it was shady, several people actually got involved with it specifically because they knew it was shady and wanted to piggy back on w/e scam Madoff was pulling) then sorry but you’re SOL.

I love the point he makes about how millions of us middle class are effected by scams each year identity thief etc. I personally was recently ripped off by a shady contractor in the wake of a natural disaster. What are we told when it happens to us ….basically SOL live and learn……I don’t have a problem with this because that’s the way things go and the world is a risky place. BUt I have a huge major problem with wealth people afforded BY LAW opportunities the rest of us don’t have getting bailed out when they run into the same type problems the rest of us have to deal with…it’s madding….I’m reminded on something Louis Black said when commenting on the Enron world com etc. thing several year’s ago. He basically said you hear stuff like this and you start understand why the Bastille was stormed and why they sent most of the ‘elite’  to the guillotine

Here is a like to a blog I wrote awhile back on some of the same issues

Dow Chemical to close 3 Louisiana plants

Dow Chemical to close 3 Louisiana plants as company moves further into specialty chemicals

• On Wednesday July 1, 2009, 9:19 am EDT

MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — Dow Chemical will close three Louisiana plants as the company shifts away from basic chemicals and more toward the lucrative business of specialty chemicals, the company said Wednesday Dow has said it will cut about 2,500 jobs as part of a restructuring that came with the acquisition of rival Rohm & Haas. About 100 jobs, part of that restructuring, will be cut with the closure of the plants, but most employees will be offered jobs elsewhere. The plants that will be closed make ethylene, which is used in everything from packaging to plastic bags. The company bought rival Rohm & Haas in April for more than $16 billion, a deal that added massive amounts of debt to its balance sheet, but gave the company a strong position in the specialty chemicals market. Dow says closing the plants will lead to savings of more than $100 million a year, part of a multibillion-dollar restructuring.Shares of Dow rose 6 cents to $16.20 in premarket trading.

Good to see our razor Sharp local media is right on top of this one….not! (in their defense there is nothing in the WSJ yet either but WSJ is now owned by fox so what do you expect). Well at least we made a bold step this legislative session to fully fund education to cultivate the resources that will attract ‘new economy’ type business’ to our state ….DOH! People are short sited to the extreme here and believe lower taxes cure allllllllll evils. Well now that it is becoming clear that we no longer have a competitive advantage in the petro-chemical industry and due to our refusal to make sacrifices to be competitive in any other business (i.e. our whole state is perpetually uneducated barefoot and pregnant) what the hell are we going to do? Should we apply to become a vassal of Texas…… =X

Edit: looks like the advocate is on it now. It also looks like origanal artical was not exactly right, the artical in the advocate says it is simply ‘units’ of certain plans and not entire plants

So what the hell am I supposed to do with this…

Ok first of all last week I heard PYT on the radio 3 times in a 24 hour period and that is a good thing….and honestly I’ve been a fan of a lot of Michael Jackson’s music (and not just starting when he took the dirt nap) PYT, Human nature, smooth criminal, and all the Jackson 5 stuff. Furthermore I would not wish anyone dead b/c that, according to what I believe, is up to god; and I would not be happy that someone is dead.

But with all that being said I think it is total disgusting the way people are celebrating Michael Jackson. People say who cares about his personal life, or that’s not our business…I’m sorry but when your “personal life” involves RAPING CHILDREN it’s no longer YOUR personal life it becomes everyone’s business.

I here people saying so he was a little crazy or a little weird, but so what, and this is part of the problem. Lets speak plainly here HE RAPED YOUNG CHILDREN….HE SEXUALLY ASSALTED LITTLE CHILDREN FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN HIS OWN SEXUAL GRATIFICATION pedophilia is not ‘crazy’ pedophiles know exactly what they are doing, and are aware that it’s is outside of the boundaries of what society allows. MJ may have been a little crazy in some respects and was certainly very weird, and if this was all it was I would be celebrating his life right along with you, but it’s not he obviously also had server personality disorders which resulted in him….and I can stress this enough….RAPING CHILDREN. Personality disorders may describe certain behaviors but they are no excuse for diminished capacity and diminished responsibility of the offender (like being legit crazy can be).

I know this is going to piss people off, and the thing disturbs me the most is the most common response I will get to this is “HE WAS THE KING OF POP”.

I didn’t realize we had so many Nietzsche followers out there bringing back the idea of the Übermensch. Like a 21^st century online wireless Übermensch where if someone entertains us taking our minds off our own lives if only for a moment then they are a superman and the rules of ordinary morality don’t apply to them…..If you’re the “king” of pop then you are outside of the moral rules…..BULLSHIT….allow me to point out that Neitzsche was bat shit crazy and died in the freaking nut house, which may well be the path our society is headed….

And lest I mention remember the last society that glorified the Ubermensch, regardless of what you think of them or their morality (obviously I hope most of you are disgusted by them), but lets strictly look at how it worked out for them: The Ubermensch set out to conquer and colonize the Untermensch committing atrocities on a previously unimaginable scale. Justifying it all in the name of extraordinary times and extraordinary leaders do not have to follow normal moral codes. As I’m sure we all remember in the end the Ubermensch was crushed by the untermensch. Making you wonder who in fact was uber are who was unter, but actually it really showed that mr. Lincoln was correct in his saying “Right makes Might’ (as opposed to the ubermensch’s asertion that “might makes right”). And basically to sum up what I was trying to say in this long and impossible to understand paragraph is I DON’T GIVE A FLYING FUCK IF YOU ARE THE KING OF POP OR THE QUEEN OF DONUT’S OR WHAT THE FUCK EVER IT’S NOT OK TO RAPE ANY ONE PARTICULARLY CHILDREN.

The guy was clearly an incredibly talented musician, and maybe one of the best dancers ever. And this rant isn’t even against him he is 6ft. In the cold cold ground it’s more an expression of the fact that it scares the crap out of me that apparently being the “king of pop” some how absolves you of responsibility for sexually assaulting kids. I mean come on this is the guy that took “have candy get in the van” to a whole nother level by building a fantasy ranch at his freaking house (stole that from a FB comment I saw) and you’re running around worshipping him like he is some kind of hero…and he hadn’t done shit other that little boys in 15 years the “king of pop” died along time ago my god it seems like the whole world has gone mad with this.

If your excuse really is I don’t care what he did then I’m sorry but you are pathetic, you should care whether or not people use and abuse defenseless kids for their own twisted sexual gratification if you don’t care about that really what is that saying about you…..

Dogs barkin’ bout the cars and the bars but is it only human nature (a soap box moment)

So I guess you’ve heard by now that former Saints (and university of Tennessee, boy some fine individuals have passed through that football program) wide receiver Donte Stallworth was sentenced to 30 days in jail and 2 years house arrest. To fill you in if you have not been following this what happened is he hit an killed someone (pedestrian) with his car while driving drunk. Now before I get started I will say that 30 days is not enough I think most people who do this get more than that (maybe something like 2 years), and just to get it out of the way I think he should have gotten what anyone else without money or fame would have gotten nothing more nothing less. But that is not the point of todays fire side chat. Also consider that according to everyone the incident was most likely the pedestrians fault and by all accounts if Stallworth was not drunk he would not have been charged; furthermore it is my understanding that Stallworth stopped and call police and honestly, even though it is the right thing to do and we all say it’s what we would do, it took some balls to do that.

There really are two things about this that have stuck out to me and I think they are really based on the same thing.

First, all last week I heard this kicked around on radio call in shows and I kept hearing something said that I personally think is horseshit. There where multiple callers and at least one host who were irate that he only got 30 days but they would all be like “sure I’ve got DWI….but he killed someone….” Sorry to break it to you but the only difference between you and Mr. Stallworth is luck…I mean come on, obviously the people that end up killing someone while drunk driving don’t jump in the car and say ‘lets go kill someone’. They are just like theses guys or most of you, and defiantly me in the past, they get behind the wheel when they shouldn’t and say something like I’ll be careful this time, or that type of stuff doesn’t happen to me, then proceed to endanger themselves and others. Sometimes that danger turns into reality, lots of times it doesn’t, but to me you are no ethical or morally better if you make it home unscathed or if your victim is a mailbox than someone who kills someone. One guy even call in and was bitch b/c he has a nephew who has 4 DWI and got ten years even though he never killed someone, but Stallworth only got 30 days. I hate to tell you guy, but your nephew is much more of a danger to others that Mr. Stallworth and he certainly deserved his sentence. It is strange to me that people don’t seem to get that it is driving drunk that is the problem. No one would call in a say I was shooting at someone but I missed so it no big deal, but people who shoot at and kill people they are murders. That’s why trying to shoot someone is called attempted murder and it’s almost as serious a crime as murder.

Second, not too long ago Michael Vick got in trouble for dog fighting. Vick gets sentenced to 2 years in jail. Now I don’t condone dog fighting I think it’s a horrible thing but lets look at this a crime that cost a human life gets you 30 days and a crime that cost the life dogs gets you 2 years….doesn’t make lots of sense. Even weirder is there was massive public out rage against Vick, people were protesting in the streets having rallies, etc. There was almost none of this for Stallworth whose crime cost a human life.

What ties this all together is something interesting about human nature. Unfortunately most of us have at one time or another gotten behind the wheel when we should not have, but most of us have not ended up killing someone. Most of us do consider DWI to be a serious issue but relatively minor as far as crime goes (I doubt any of us considers ourselves to be attempted murders), but most people see someone who kills someone while driving drunk as a murder and we are outraged. Most of us have not ever been involved in dog fighting at all and most of us see it as a major deal to be outraged about and to protest about. As humans we tend to minimize our own faults and then smugly judge those that do who have faults we happen not to have or do things we have not done. Most of us have driven drunk, we have not killed someone but we are at least somewhat aware that it could happen, and most of us can not relate to dog fighting at all. Not surprising judging by public reaction we feel dog fighting is the most egregious issue of the three, THEN killing someone while driving under the influence, and lastly DWI. Certainly something that endangers human life is more serious than dog fighting and killing someone is simply a by product of DWI (i.e. the real issue is DWI, DWI kills people the who and when are simply fate). I’d say we have it exactly backwards. In our minds we will not let ourselves consider DWI as serious (more serious really) as the others why?…b/c it gets in the way of us doing what we want to do when we want to do it, it hurts our egos over what we have done in the past, and it does not let us inflate our current egos by judging others.

I think this really spills over into so many problems we have in the world today. It is why we are so short sighted. We want leaders that are going to trick us with promises of having our cake and eating it too. We don’t want to hear that our problems might be some what our fault and that we might actually have to change or make sacrifices to overcome them (some people know this on a personal level but not on a society level) it is simply human nature….

Yes it make perfect sense that you would stop someone who owed you tons of money from making money……why don’t then just let him sell it and garnish the money…

also shocking that a guy who got a DWI on a motorized bar stool is a deadbeat dad isn’t….

Give me a freakin break

You’re not fooling anyone:
‘American Idol’ Kings Got a 21 Stripper Salute

Look I have no idea, and really don’t care if these two ‘putt from the ruff’ and whether they like to ’shag balls’ together or not. I think the show they are on is rotting to fabric of Western civilization and for that reason I hope they both die a horrible and painful death asap. But as far as their personal lives and which team they play for or whatever I could careless about it . But this article is so obviously contrived it is funny.

The owner of Stringfellows gentleman’s club told us R & S — who have been to the club before — were

see not gay they’ve been to this strip club before!!…………..

The owner said the girls love it when R & S show up, because they’re “great guys … and extremely generous.” As for private dances — we’re told the boys always keep it classy and stay out of the champagne room.

this whole article sounds like it was written by an attorney “we got to do something to show they like the women so that means strip club but we’ve got to be careful not to offend the soccer moms so lets throw this in”. I mean did they download some do it yourself publicist app for their Iphone. You select from a list and pick the item ‘combat rumors that we are puffs’ and it auto generates and mails out a press release……since when is going to a strip club something you publicize, isn’t it more of a DL type thing…..and what strippers love guys that don’t get private dances isn’t that where they make their money….what dude is going to be ‘extremely generous’ with the dancers and not try to at least get a hand job in the champagne room….oh I know dudes trying to combat rumors that they are co host with benefits…..

(Note: I’m not endorsing trying to get hand jobs in the champagne room…but if the morality thing is the issue what are you doing at the titty bar in the first place…I mean if you’re there any other time than say a friends bachelor party or maybe a salesman with clients or something, then you’re there to take as much as you can get.)

Again I could careless if these two are co-host with benefits, I have no idea what team they are on, and I would not think less of them if they are, BUT this stunt and the way it is written up has the exactly opposite of its intended effect. It definitely makes it look like they are hinding something even more than before. If you’re going to play the publicity manipulation game, come with something a little stronger than this ‘leave it to beaver goes to the titty bar’ garbage.

EDIT: their pushing it even further….still not buying it this is a truly desperate move…

Round and Round it Goes Where it Stops No ONe KNows…..(on a serious note)

I think this is what I was going to type the other day that I forgot…… 

 

So where to begin….oh ya I move out of my house AGAIN….if you had read the last of my serious post you would have seen that earlier this year your humble narrator was facing having his driving privileges revoked due to him not filing taxes since 2003ish which turned out to be an empty threat since my license was already expired for 6 months, and a tree had fallen through my house (during a hurricane that hit on my birthday), then contractor #1 had robbed me taking all the money without doing all the work and some of the work they did was no good and needed to be redone, oh yah and like everyone else I got pile driven by the stock market…..yah generally not exactly the best of times…..is this what lead to the current issues, you ask what happened?????? 

 

Well with the issues above Veni Vidi Vici! Not really but due to some constructive action god dragged me kicking and scream through this and as a result I’m now %100 street legal is all respects GIT SOME….I took the tax issue to a professional and I’m now totally legit in the eyes of the taxman!! I hired contractor #2 who has been straight up, and all thought I’m going to end up losing a shit load of money on the deal, I was able to move by in three weeks ago +/- (at the end of the day I’m blessed to have the resources to deal with this). So things were looking good you might even say the fabled ‘cat birds seat’ then what happened????? 

 

First off my mom had surgery; she is doing fine but can’t drive or bend over or lift heavy objects for like a month or maybe more. THEN we find out that my grandmother has leukemia of the kill your ass sooner rather than later variety. This is very sad although her and I are not incredibly close and she is 90 years old and has lived a very full life and she has been blessed to be basically able to still be fully functional and live on her own maintaining a good quality of life right up to the end not having to waste away in a nursing home with strangers changing her etc. Despite all of this when the time of reckoning comes it is still sad and emotional. So my dad has left for Phoenix to be with her and I have moved into my moms to take care of her and be a driver and what not. Then in a few weeks we will go to phoenix for a week then after that who knows. 

 

Now I know some of the following is not right but I’m just expressing the crazy ass crap in my head, there was never any doubt that I was going go help my mom or that I was going to take the trip to phoenix and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to do so and try to be of help….BUT…I JUST MOVED BACK INTO MY HOUSE these life events are extremely inconvenient for me right now (^you listening up there^..^p.s. I heard Christina Ricci is single now *taps nose* I’m just saying..^) I don’t know I just start to feel like when does it end it seems to be wearing on me ……in the last 2-3 years I have bean forced to abandon my residence 3 times dead brother, tree ‘dropping by’, sick mother + grandmother (and throw in tons of self made crisis of the type described earlier only more serious) . CAN I JUST HAVE A YEAR WEAR NO ONE DIES NOTHING FALLS ON THE HOUSE ETC. so in this case I brought the issue to my spiritual advisor:

its all about the id, the ego, and the super ego

sand the deck....gawd damit....wax on...wax off

son of a........SERENITY NOW!!!!

this case is hopeless some one bring me a milk bone

No but seriously as much as I find these events distasteful today I have tools to get through this to attempt to match calamity with serenity. And I was sharing this with some people and they were like you just have to do what you have to. Then one of them said “I understand you are asking yourself ‘when do I get to live my life’” and another [Mr. Bob] interjected “when its time!”……………..this of course is the answer…its always simple, not so much easy but always simple…………I can’t choose when and how things are which is a good thing because me managing things and doing them my way on my time has always lead to results that are utterly crappy. When I go with the plan things seem to just work out. There were things that happened 9+ years ago that at the time I felt were the worst things that possibly could happen and to me, and today they are clearly the best things that ever happened to me.

 

And there it is! there is a greater power at work here there is a plan and a purpose. I believe this absolutely today %100 percent…..there was a time 5 or 6 years ago when I could say this and it was easy (i.e. my selfish brain ‘agreed with the plan’) but over the last 3 years I’ve gone through things that makes it not as easy to believe this (not that there aren’t people who are going through as bad or worse) but despite all of this I can still say that I believe just as much, actually more now, in the plan (the plan I don’t know). I’m exactly were I am supposed to be and things are exactly as they should be and if they were any different I would be miserable. I don’t have to like it every day of it but I do have to suit up every day and bring the ass in the hope that the head and the heart will eventually follow. The discomfort I feel is self pity because I’m obsessed with me and how I feel…..and this self pity is a total waste of time it only hurts me no matter how justified on unjustified it is, it really does no good, never has, and only causes me to rot from this inside.

 

As I sit today I’ve been ‘homeless’ again for 3 days and I’m already starting to see the good in it so I guess I’ll just sit back down on my bedazzled plastic horse and continue on gyrating smoothly up and down as I go around and around with the words of Mr. Churchill in my head saying it’s the worst life there is for you …except for all the others.

hURmphfffff

I was going to type a new blog but on my way over here I stumbled upon this, and now I have no idea what i was going to write about or what my name is or what day or even year it is…./drool. I’ve always liked heather graham And I’m glad to see that she is not working a the moonlight bunny ranch or something since she has been out of the spot light. She holds a specially place in my heart for the small role she played in Swingers. Not only was she very attractive in that role but her character represented sort of the silver lining or w/e. Therefore she to me has taken on the importance of some sort of mythical beast…..

 

I was already contemplating going to see the hangoverand this just seals the deal. I know what you’re saying so the hell what…..but it is a big deal to me b/c I rarely go to the movie theater and NEVER watch movies at home (Honestly I thinkg the last movie I saw was “walk the line”). So deciding that I’m going to see a movie (especially if its not a spur of the moment thing) is a big deal. It seems like this movie had no hype or anything but as soon as it opened it was a huge buzz. This seems like it’s all ways the way it is with good movies. It’s like Hollywood is production so much crap in the last ten years that people inside the industry don’t even know how to recognize whats a good movie and what isn’t. Its really bad I over at my parents last week, and my dad is a huge movie buff and has a huge collection of dvds (where talking boarder line ocd here) he also has a subscription to various movie magazines and I was reading through like move-line or entertainment weekly and I was like this is why I never watch movies any more. There was not a single thing in there that you could have payed me to watch….

 

I suppose my super bad ADD is part of the problem (lol super bad in my mind because in my mine everything about me is super bad or super good) it’s hard for me to sit through a movie at home …….whatever this is going nowhere so I’m going to stop now…..If I remember what I was going to pontificate about I stall return..

HEY…..I DIDN’T GET A HURMPHFF OUT OF THAT GUY…..

 

(note: this is the part where you’re supposed to say “Mr. Billy you use your tongue purdier that a $20 whore”)

 

This is fanfreakintastic: The spell checker for wordpress flags “blog” as a misspelled word……It think this is a metaphor for something but I’m too saturday to connect the dots right now (use of saturday as a adjective or adverb or som….lets just say non-noun was intentional)

 

OH AND WHILE WE AE TALKIING MOVIES ANDY MILONAKIS DOES MY KINDA MOVIE REVIEW

I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident.”

O’Rly

 

The ole I got caught up with the wrong crowed move…….what are you a 16 year old girl who got caught smoking weed and you tell your paranets it wasn’t me it’s my friends….nooooo it couldn’t have been our little bootylishous alba it must have been that bad crowed shes been mixed up in…..the “shark scene” a wicked and evil subculture known for  wrapping the minds of young starlets and using them for there own purpose…..are friends and family sitting around saying we should have seen the warning signs like when she started wearing that fin everywhere.

 

Why can’t you just say “I’M MOTHER F#$%IN JESSICA ALBA  and I’m so smoking hot i can do w/e the hell I want.” this
