Family Values...

"If" somebody came to me and described new neighbors as an "unfortunate circumstance" I would happily advise the whiners to move... I'll help them load up a truck.

A couple moving into a community that has caused no harm is hardly an "unfortunate circumstance." Unless of course the existing residents have no tolerance for the world around them. Now that is an “unfortunate circumstance” indeed.

Indeed, what to do to protect some good old fashioned values, such as acceptance, the golden rule, love thy neighbor etc. etc.

As for people smoking weed, well I'll tell ya' what... I would rather new neighbors smoked weed as opposed to being belligerent drunken loud a-holes. I've had enough of those neighbors. If the neighbors happen to be pot smoking homosexuals I don't have any problem with that.

Well then because I disagree with others I suppose that makes me a bigot, jerk, prude, commie, right-wing, left-wing nut-job, neo-con, or whatever other colorful name others can come up with. An "unfortunate circumstance" as a description of new neighbors while waving the "Family Values" banner is not something I agree with. I don't accept it.

I don't accept judgmental hatred either. If that makes me a hater so be it. I’m sick to death of the "Family Values" battle cry. Sick of it. It’s mostly B.S. used to prop up dysfunctional screwed up a-holes that are anything but.

They spew the term to give the impression that they are upstanding pillars in a community. Heaven for bid that diversity be introduced that’s when the yammering about good old fashioned "Family Values" comes out, whatever that is supposed to mean. One family’s set of values does not make it so for another. I know, I know I outed myself already as a hater. As I pointed out I don’t agree with others so it makes a... Whatever other colorful name needed, _______.

Step up, or shut up.

“If one can’t own their mistakes how can they possibly own their success?

I’ve found a common denominator in a type of person that drives me bonkers... (Well at least until I show them the door.)

They want to be in charge/ control of others and have zero ability to take accountable for their own actions. They take no responsibility for their behavior. When they make a mistake or worse, if failure happens... They cry, “I’m a victim, it’s not my fault, I didn’t do it, blah, blah etc. etc.” You know the type are you one those pathetic people?

They expect everything handed to them with no effort at all. Fortunately I have gotten much better at seeing thru this facade over the years. They have no guts, yet want all the glory. I dare say the only worse characteristic they exhibit is their ability to ride coat tails.

If one can’t own their mistakes how can they possibly own their success? Take some fricken pride in thinking, doing and being yourself. It‘s far, far more attractive.”

Stay Wretched...

"Skullduggery is the best thing to use. The ignorant wretches don't know anything else. Communicate to them at their level much like any parent worth his or her weight in salt would do. If they choose to stay wretched, well it's their soul adrift in the gutter... Let them be washed out to sea. Bottom feeders need to eat just like anybody else."

DING!!! Next please.”

Thoughts as the voice droned on and on: ‘OK, OK, sometimes when you realize that you just don't give a fuck. You take some time, back up and even then you say eff it.’

I tend to question what it is exactly I’m saying eff it to. Then it hit...

All I heard was what the problem was, no solutions, or possible solutions, not a remote idea for any solution, just the yammering of the obvious, a repetitive yammering of what the problem is. Then it hit...

Response to the caller: “It's not that I don't give a fuck about the problem. I just don't care anymore to hear what the problem is. I am only interested in hearing about possible solutions. So it's not that I don't give a rats arse or whatever... I’m just done listening to people who have the regurgitation function down to a dismal boring science. DING!!! Next please.”

A pleasant exchange of farewell within in milliseconds so beautifully followed.

A phone call that was almost as good as... Ooo la, la it was divine. Mmmm must smoke now. /;->

Whiners Suck.

"I've grown tired of hearing people say 'Getting old sucks.' Why? Well lets think about it for second or two or three if you're younger.

From the moment you're born guess what... You are getting older. Now that being said one could conclude that your entire lifetime sucks. (Talk about buzz kill.)

Here is another way to think about it. I would like to know exactly (or somewhere close to the neighborhood) what is getting old being compared to? Is there an alternative?

When I hear... 'Getting old sucks.' I have often wondered if those who died very young would agree with the whining of the older whiners who have lost appreciation for the privilege of continuing to get older?

No getting old doesn't suck. Bitching about getting old to others now that just blows. If you're not getting older you are dead. I'm currently of the mindset that dead sucks.

Getting old is a privilege stop complaining about it. Or... Get off my lawn."

20 years ago... does anyone recall?

Hey all. Do you recall twenty years ago? We were in a recession... Remember that twenty years ago George Bush and Dan Potato were in the White House? It was all their fault that the country was in the tank. (That’s what we heard all the time.) We had been at war with Iraq. The republicans were the cause of all the nations’ problems. They raised taxes after promising not to raise taxes. “Read my lips...”. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Any self-respecting republican should never forget that fat lie, or learn to read lips.

Then, after a three way race for president, we got Bill Clinton and Al Gore for the next eight years. The third party idea was to blame for Clinton getting elected.

Then it was eight years of paranoid delusions of Bill Clinton taking the nation into a socialist/communistic regime. The Brady bill passed. The family leave act was signed into law. The President got a B.J. in the oval office. The president lied under oath. White Water went out to sea. And, oh yeah, the nation came out of the trillion dollar economic hole and ended up in the black for the first time in decades. All sorts of things seemed brighter.

Then the race in 2000 started up with all sorts of blustering about how the democrats were taking us down a path of destruction. Who did the voters like best? Who got the nomination for the GOP? A born again murderer! A man who proudly fast-tracked the death penalty in his home state. This was a selling point. -Seems to me it’s mostly “Pro-Lifers” that are for the death penalty. Think about that logic for a moment...- I digress.

Bush Jr. is appointed and surrounded by many of the same people from Daddy’s four years. Things seemed strange and surreal. Then, that day, 9/11. Well everything changed and we heard things like “evil-doers”. B-52 air strikes against Afghanistan, then ground troops. The fourth amendment was raped. Then Iraq wouldn’t comply with the U.N. sanctions and, suddenly, they had weapons of mass destruction. Air strikes, then ground troops. Spend, spend, spend.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, magical loans were being dreamed up. -While the infrastructure was/is crumbling. People earning 30k a year were buying homes that were sold for people earning 60k a year. No worry, balloon payments will make everything alright. Bit by bit, we were hearing that things were not going good for businesses, as the administration kept waging war and telling folks at home get out there and spend, spend, spend.

Oh my, something was coming and people were acting like things were going to be OK. Then, in 2008, the domino’s began falling one by one. Slow at first, then faster and faster and, well you know the rest. Ahem! All under a republican administration mind you. (I know, I know...that was so long ago and none of it is relevant today. Not to mention that the current president was on watch when the head chief “evil doer” was finally caught and killed. Mission actually accomplished.) I digress yet again.

So tell me again why I should begin trusting the Republicans? Is their track record that fantastic? This does go to my theory of “the forever argument...”. (Please make note of where and what’s going on this year.) Lets see where we are 20 years from now. I’m betting a shiny new dime it will be ‘bout the same. Different faces, different social issues ( I hope, damn, I truly hope, different social issues...).

I suppose it comes down to this...

As long as we continue to not face the day and only keep looking to tomorrow instead of long term, hoping for the fantasy of happily ever after, while forgetting the past, well, you know the old adage about being doomed to repeat it. Personally, I think that has been the problem in the landscape. People don’t want to think too far ahead and are to quick to dismiss the past. Hence, here we shall go again. I hope to your god, that we collectively find the answer that ends this repetitive madness.

Will end on this...

A child puts their little hand on a hot stove and gets burned. A child learns from the mistake and is careful to not let it happen again. We, as adults, need to remember that lesson. Or, at the very least, quit bitching about getting burned each day.
