Randomness

Okay today I figure I would throw some random stuff out there, random news stories and what not.

First off I talked last week about Stephen Colbert going to capital hill and testifying, sort of in character. I say sort of in character because he was in character but I think at times his character is Steve Colbert. What he said needed to be said. Was it said in 'character'? Yes. However as I said before listen to why he is doing it and that is what is important. Hardly any person with a voice thought this was a good thing. Democrat nor republican saw the importance of this and all seemed to hate the idea. Personally I think Stephen did what he thought was right and for that he deserves to be applauded no jeered.

Speaking of jeering, did you hear about Boo-Gate? That's right...Boo-Gate. Fox News thought it was SO important to know if Sarah Palin was booed on Dancing with the Stars that they gave it a name, and a name off one of the biggest stories in American Political History. Quite frankly who gives a flying fuck if she was booed. She has been booed before and she will be again. That goes with the territory. She is a polarizing person. She is one of those people who is either liked or hated, very few people have no opinion of her. For the record, I don't give a shit about her in case you were wondering.

A New York City teacher recently wrote an essay admitting that she was once a prostitute. You can read the article here. I personally don't see an issue with this. That doesn't make her a bad person. I haven't read the essay but it doesn't matter to me why she did it. If she needed the money to eat or if she just liked to fuck and figured why not get paid for it. It is one of if not the oldest profession. As it was once said, let he who is without sin cast the first stone...or something like that.

Our military bases have been visited by aliens and they are after our nukes. As you can read here. I think this makes sense. Recently at work a co-worker of mine asked if I believed in aliens. I said yes because there has to be intelligent life out there somewhere and it sure in the hell isn't on this planet! In all seriousness the universe is vast and there has to be another planet with life on it. If these other beings were to visit our planet they are going to be looking at our defenses and our military. No for the record I don't know if we've been visited. I really am not sure. I have seen things a few times that I don't know what they were. I'm in no way saying that they were aliens.

The TV Show the Colony ended Tuesday and there were a few interesting things. First off the military dude Tick lead the colonist on a raid. Yes after all their bitching and moaning they went and raided another colony. Now I'm all for it especially if this was a true situation. If this was really a situation of life or death I'll do what I can to protect myself and those with me. After their bitching and moaning about being raided they then did the same thing. I liked it I really did. Also Sian, the one I really didn't like the whole time, jumped at the chance to leave the Colony when VOPA (a fake government agency) showed up. This group had left them here with nothing and then made a food drop 50 feet in the air and ruined most of the supplies. Now its a hard choice but I wouldn't have got in those SVU's. No way no how. I also liked that the Colony started to fall apart after VOPA showed up. The Old Man and the Model went at it verbally and Jim completely lost his mind for a while. It...was AWESOME! Then came the entire other colony. They blew up their old house as they were attacking. This year's show seemed more real then last years but as I said before, they need more 'normal' people. It reminds me of when you are playing D&D and you end up with a warrior, a cleric, a thief and a wizard. One of each class available. This year they did throw in the model but they still had the mechanic and contractors and what not. I want to be on the next season however.

Several of the best TV shows out there have returned. Chuck and Dexter are both back on the air. Both are excellent shows that people should check out if you aren't watching. Chuck has been ok so far. I miss Big Mike however and I hope to see him return in the future. Dexter, well it'll be interesting to see where it goes from here.

Okay back to the Colony for a second...BEST ENDING EVER! That's all I am going to say....BEST...ENDING...EVER!!!

So Congress takes a month off to campaign. Really? Can I get a month off before my review (election) to try and convince my boss to give me a raise (keep me in office)? You know what? If you did the right thing you have nothing to worry about. If you are a screw up (notice no f-bomb there) then your gone. A month to campaign is bullshit.

Okay enough random bullshit. I'm tired for some reason. anyway until next time remember:



Listen to the song and it's how I feel about most people. Poisoned birthday cake...I'm digging that the most!

Did anyone get the plates of that bus?

I am a good person. Hmmm, well an okay person. Despite what I say I always try to treat people the way I want to be treated. I have based my management style on this as well.

I don't like to be micromanaged so I don't do it despite everyone telling me that it is what I need to do. I don't like to be yelled and screamed at so I don't do it despite being told it is what is needed. I HATE when my managers are just looking for every little thing to get me with but that is what must be done sometimes.

I also hate when people throw people under the bus as it were. I hate when people do end runs around other people. If I have a problem with Paul, who is another manager, I don't go around and run to the boss. Even worse I don't run around both Paul and his supervisor, lets say Thea, and go to Thea's boss and someone even higher then that when they are visiting. I go to Paul and we talk. Maybe he didn't know he had done something he wasn't suppose to. MAYBE he did what upset me for a reason I don't understand. MAYBE, despite having not so great hair and a big goatee and always saying he doesn't give a shit, actually thought long and hard on something before doing it or not doing something. But of course I wouldn't know that because I didn't talk to Paul. I assume he is a fuck up and so is his boss so I'll just go above them.

Short and sweet, I do very few things in my life without thinking long and hard on it. I'm not saying I am right most of the time, fuck I am rarely right if ever, but I almost always think about it. I rarely sleep well because I think about things.

My mind often works kinda like a choice table. I try to figure out every possible outcome and then pick the best of it, or what I think the best outcome is.

For someone, a peer, to do this is sickening. What I don't understand is that it isn't like I've given anyone a reason to do this. People who haven't seen me for a long time or really talked to me for a long time, I've changed a lot in the last ten years. Ask the people who have been around me throughout that time. I have been through a lot and I've changed.

I finally actually loved someone and lost her due to my own stupidity. I've nearly committed suicide. I've been through more bouts of depression then I care to admit or know. I had the job I've wanted and lost said job. I left Michigan on a dream, found that dream, and found that sometimes dreams are nightmares you just don't know it until its too late. I've learned that despite being a bitter husk of a human acting that way is worthless. I've learned to actually feel emotions even though now I wish I didn't because life was easier without these fucking things.

What I'm saying is that I have grown more in the last ten years then I did in the twenty before that. I would not do an end run around someone. I wouldn't throw someone under the bus. If I make a mistake I'll tell you why said mistake was made but not blame someone else unless it is someone's fault other then mine, however at the end of the day as a manager it is all my fault.

The bottom line is that I was made to look incompetent in front of my superiors without atleast being able to defend the supposed incompetence. As I asked on twitter and facebook:

does anyone know how to get tired tracks off one's back after being thrown under said bus?

Again, where is the real America?

In Florida a woman was arrested and charged with child abuse for watching her daughter in a fight AND telling her to continue to swing. Really? Maybe I'm weird but I don't think this is a major problem.

I remember when my father offered my step brother a pair of boxing gloves and to pull the cars out of the garage to fight me. Now I didn't do it for two reasons, one because I would have hurt the boy and two even back then I was WAY to lazy to do that.

Arrested? Really? This was a school yard fight. Should the mother have been there? Of course not. Should she have been cheering her daughter? What if her daughter was boxing? Or doing a MMA fight?

If these were two boys fighting and their dads encouraging them I don't think this would be an issue. But what do I know, I don't understand the America that is out there anymore. Honestly if I had money my bunker is looking better and better.

Testify!

Earlier today Stephen Colbert testified on Capital Hill, talking about immigration. Colbert took up United Farm Workers President Arturo Rodriguez on his take our job challenge. The idea was that American's would work on day as a immigrant worker on a farm. Colbert testified about this experience.

Now over on Fox News they didn't like this. They quoted Rep. Steve King, a republican from Iowa:

"There was no rational reason for him to be there," Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, told Fox News, adding that Colbert's joke-filled testimony didn't stick to the written testimony he had submitted Thursday night. Lawmakers expected him to summarize his points in five minutes, but he went longer -- and lacked substance, said King, a member of the panel.

They are right. You can click above on Fox News and you will see that he went 5 minutes and 21 seconds. Now there may have been more that I haven't seen. I watched on both Fox News and on the Washington Post website. The Post's site had a video of about 10 minutes with questions being asked of Colbert.

Let me talk a bit about the testimony. He did it tongue and cheek but at the end he was very honest. What I liked was when he was asked questions he was just Steve Colbert instead of Stephen Colbert.

I agree it was weird to invite him and he really did waste their time because they didn't listen to what he said AFTER the testimony. He said:

"I like talking about people who don't have any power and it seems to me that some of the least powerful people in the United States are migrant workers who come here and do our work but don't have any rights.

"And yet we still invite them to come here and at the same time ask them to leave... Migrant workers suffer and have no rights," he said.


I am a fan of Colbert. I think he is witty and very funny. I just wish people would listen to what he said not WHO said it. I believe he said 16 people did the Take our Job challenge and he was one of them. Did he do it out of the good of his own heart? No he did it as part of his show but he did it and that is more than everyone else did.

What really hurt was that a democrat, even worse one from the Mighty MI Michigan, asked Colbert to leave before he even started. Really? This from a group who had Elmo and Dr. Phil testify.

It just makes me sad how blind and short sighted the people who are running this country are. As Jon Stewart said recently asked...are we being run by assholes?

This is our country, makes you proud sometimes huh?

Katy Perry too hot and cold for Sesame street


So apparently one Katy Perry is to hot for the street...sesame street that is. Here is the video that has apparently been BANNED from SS. The picture here of Katy with Elmo is from the show and you can check out the video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHROHJlU_Ng

Um...I didn't really see anything wrong with that. I read somewhere, I didn't make notes when researching (yes when I write an actual blog like this I usually do research and try to have links or at least be able to tell you where I read stuff), that there was nudity involved. I watched that entire video, I really wanted to hit myself in the head with things once Elmo started singing, but I didn't see any nudity. Was see extremely covered, no. Could she have picked a better outfit...maybe...but I always assumed that the people on SS had some control. I don't think I could show up in my shorts and green lantern shirt and get on SS if they wanted the Fat Man on there.

I actually kinda understand her outfit, now I am not sure, but I think that was a slip or slip type outfit because she was going to be playing dress up. I believe, and believe it or not I don't know this for sure, but I believe the idea of the slip is to be worn under dresses and such.

Now you could argue that if it was a slip she shouldn't be wearing it outside anyway, which is why I said a slip type thing. That is what I first thought when I saw it.

As a guy of course I noticed she was showing some cleavage but honestly as a man I notice that no matter what. If she was wearing a sweater I would notice she is well endowed. She has large boobs! Of course people notice that, its not her fault. I don't blame her one bit.

If anyone is to blame it is SS for allowing it. Why did they? Because they didn't see a problem with it. This almost goes back to my rant on political correctness and SS fell into that trap. To keep the kiddies, and more importantly, their parents buying all that Elmo crap they had to take this away.

To be honestly I'm confused as to why this was on SS but I am sure the show has changed a lot since I was watching. I remember Grover, Kermit, Oscar the Grouch, Big Bird and his imaginary friend. I don't remember Elmo. I remember the show being sponsored by some letter. That cool pinball segment that was on every show and I think it always went to number 12, but it was kinda cool music. I don't remember random celebrities coming on the show but what do I know I was like 13 or 14 when I was watching....er...um...3 or 4...yeah...that's the ticket!

I don't know Katy Perry from Matthew Perry (well I do as I would rather look at Katy...seriously she is HOT and if I liked that kinda music it was horrible) and had it not been mentioned on the O'Reilly Factor I wouldn't have heard about it. By the way, check out his interview with Jon Stewart. Why Jon goes on that show boggles my mind but that is for another blog. Until next time....I think I am going to have to check out more Katy Perry

Is the American Dream Dead

Recently President Obama held a town hall meeting and was asked by a recent law school graduate "is the American Dream dead for me?" after mentioning he took advantage of the school loans Obama spoke about. He mentioned that he can't pay the interest on the loans let alone try to start a family.

Now I feel this mans pain, I can't make my loan payments. I don't blame President Obama for my problems, I took out the loans and now I'm looking at what I can do about it and it isn't much but that isn't the point of this. The point is people voted for President Obama because he preached change. Where is the change? I saw this on Jon Stewart and here is what he said "I don't know who is to blame here, you for making this shit look so good or us for believing it."

Jon said it perfectly. I blame us, the American people.

The art of the reveal and other movie stuff [updated 9-18]

Yes two posts in one day, aren't you people lucky. I've been on vacation watching bad movies. Well that isn't true, I think any movie you enjoy isn't bad but that's just me. I am currently watching Godzilla, the remake with Kevin Dunn and Mathew Matthew Broderick. The thing is that they show Godzilla less then a half hour in. Look at great horror/monster type movies that they DON'T do this with and the reveal is the big thing.

Cloverfield. I actually really like this movie and you don't see the monster right away. We just see glimpses and hardly even that. It is an awesome.

Jaws. Now the story is that this wasn't the plan but the shark didn't work so we don't get to see Jaws for quite a while but the suspense it built up was amazing.

Alien. I don't remember but I don't think we see the aliens for quite sometime.

Predator. We don't see the Predator for quite a while, just the 'invisible' highlight thing and the blasts.

Those are just a few. The point is it the reveal in a movie like this. If I was making a monster movie, lets say 90 minutes, it would be atleast 45 minutes before you see the monster, maybe 60 minutes. Maybe a glimpse of a tail or an eye or something like that. Build up the suspense. Build up the viewer wanting to see the monster. Needing to see it. Demanding to see it. Then you hit them with it.

I like to use movie analogies but of course that is sorta the point of this so lets use wrestling. When Hulk Hogan was going to fight Andre the Giant they didn't announce it and then do it the next week. They built it up. First they showed they were good friends. Then Andre attacked him on Piper Pit ripping off the crucifix. Then they did interviews and interviews and interviews. By the time Wrestlemania 3 rolled around they had over 90,000 people (according to WWF) in the Silverdome. Imagine that, 90,000 people and basically ALL because of those two men. Had the arena been bigger they would have had more I'm sure. It wouldn't have worked had Andre challenged the Hulkster and Hogan said yes and they wrestled.

Its all in the art of the reveal. Lets just say if I ever have a major announcement and gather my friends for it, you're going to have to sit through some major stuff first...maybe even make you watch the Room and Troll 2 to see if you actually care.

In other movie type news Total Recall is being remade, this time with the director of the last Die Hard movie at the helm. That sucks because the last Die Hard movie SUCKED and lets face it we don't need a Total Recall remake.

Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing Freddie Mercury in an upcoming biopic. That is awesome. When I think Freddie I also think Bruno. *SIGH*

Judge Dredd is getting a reboot, this time with Karl Urban of Star Trek and Lord of the Rings fame as Dredd. I liked the first one but I might be the only one. This one will be darker and more like the comic from what I've read.

Just a little bit of news here. I'm bored and well I love movies even if haven't seen one for months.


UPDATE: So after playing some Fallout 3 I decided to watch Con Air. Here is another problem with this movie and lot of movies. The pilot has the co-pilot get the gun out and go back to find out what is going on in the back. Really? As the pilot I sure in the hell wouldn't have done that. Its like wrestling, just because it isn't 'real' doesn't mean it has to be without logic. That is one of the reasons I liked the Scream movies, well the first one atleast, is that they used logic to a certain extent. I understand suspending believe, I've been watching wrestling for 20 years for the love of god. However lack of logic isn't the same as suspension of belief. When I write my movie I hope to not have those logic gaps.

I did have a horror movie script wrote. I thought it was okay...I wonder if I have still have that sitting around somewhere....

Household Name (ranting about wrestling so more of you will ignore it)

As you all know I'm a wrestling fan. I actually pay for the pwinsiderelite website, which is AWESOME if you're a wrestling fan, and I'm currently listening to an audio with the former wrestler Nova.

Now some of you are casual fans, mostly because you're friends of mine, and honestly a lot of actual fans probably don't know Nova or Simon Dean in WWE. He is talking about how WWE tells their wrestlers that they are major TV stars yet no one knows them using the failure of John Cena's latest movie. He then talks about how 'over' or popular the people from Jersey Shore are.

This is a STUPID analogy. The Jersey Shore people not only on their TV show but they are ALL over the place. They are weekly on those stupid weekly gossip magazine like US and OK!. When was the last time you saw Randy Orton or CM Punk on anything?

CM who most of you are asking I'm sure. CM Punk is probably one of the best wrestlers in the company and an amazing promo. Hell John Cena is the guy they are pushing and he isn't on anything.

I never liked Nova's work. I thought he was overrated because of his ECW ties and to be honest he comes off kinda bitter. I agree with some of the things he is saying but comparing Jersey Shore with WWE aside from the fact that both are scripted (I assume as I've never seen Jersey Shore and I don't know anyone other then Snukims or Sooki or Snooki or whatever her name is).

I am writing about this because it kinda pissed me off. If WWE was treated like Jersey Shore I think more people would know guys like John Cena and CM Punk. Instead it is looked down upon once again. 10 years ago football players were giving the nWo sign on the sidelines. Guys were scoring touchdowns and giving the Diamond Cutter sign. Everyone wanted a piece of WWF/WCW back when they were pulling 6's and 7's in the ratings but times have changed.

So this is how it feels...

So this is how it feels to be the last sane person on earth. Yeah, I'm the last one I think. Christine O'Donnell won the primary in Delaware as a Tea Party candidate. As some of you may have seen on The Daily Show, Colbert Report and probably every other late night talk show there is a clip of O'Donnell on some MTV show talking about sex. She talks about lust and masturbation and how you can't masturbate without lust and the bible says something about lust masturbation and adultery. I didn't really listen or care. For one I'm not in Delaware. Two I don't give two shits about my politicians religious believes. Three it was from MT-fucking-V and probably twenty years ago. For all I know she has become some kind of monster slut since then but I doubt that.

The reason I bring that up is that....

Okay random comment here but I'm watching Goldeneye while writing this and my god is Famke Janssen amazingly hot in this film, I mean just fantastic. I think she looks her best in this film...wait...am I suddenly lustful? Better get back on topic...

The reason I bring this stuff up is because I had to run to the store to get coke for drinking, of the alcoholic kind, and Sean Hannity was talking about this very topic. He then ranted that this was horrible and that we wouldn't be doing this if someone had talked about having hundreds of partners. He also invoked the Clinton name and his past with unattractive...I mean with women. Lets tackle each of these topics and I'll talk more about my thoughts later on.

First off the hundreds of partners. I am pretty sure if someone came out and said he...or she, gotta be politically correct, had hundreds of partners they would lambasted in the media by both sides. Now personally I don't care. I don't give a shit if the person is fucking WHILE giving a speech. Hell I might watch more often. But seriously it is none of my business which brings me to the second part of this, the Clinton stuff.

He talked about how the media sat on the Clinton story for months. They then talked about how everyone was saying it was a private matter and not our business. Am I the only one who see's the difference? Possibly so let me spell it out. William Jefferson Clinton didn't go on MT-FUCKING-V talking about banging Jennifer Flowers. O'Donnell did which made it a PUBLIC issue (I almost typed pubic...yes I am a bit of a 15 year old sometimes). She didn't mean for it to become an election issue but if I go into office my ranting and ravings here could very well become public record for the voters to see and read as well. So to my voting public...Vote the Fat Man in 2016. Hell it's better then what you've had since Clinton!

Lastly let me say this. Hannity is just as bad as the others for bring this up. He could easily just let it be. Give this no coverage and in a day or two it most likely will go away as they will have something else to mock, like Glenn Beck.

I wish we could just get rid of this 24 hour "news" bullshit and worry about the issues. You know, what said person will try to do in office.

So this is how it feels to be the last sane person on earth and to be honest I don't like it. I think I need to speed up my plans for building the Ark in Michigan. Until next time...

"If he already knows what pleases him and he can please himself, than why am I in the picture?" - Christine O'Donnell from the MTV 1996 Anti-Masturbation Campaign On MTV's 'Sex In The 90s'

Random Stuff


Okay here goes. I am just saying some random crap this time around. Hopefully no major ranting, yelling and swearing...but as you guys know that isn't a guarantee.

So first off is the Colony. They are on episode 8. I figure 2 or 4 more episodes before the end. I have enjoyed this season a little more then last season. It seems more 'real' as it were. At the start of the show they have the disclaimer that they the colonialist get off air help which makes sense as you don't want people actually dying during a TV show. I am sure, much like other 'reality' shows, some things were re-shot. Last week I can see where some people though that on member of the colony saw the newest member, Tick, sneak in and leave a note. It's possible it was a re-shot or it is possible fans are looking for things. I can see both.

Overall I would like to see a third season but with all average people. Not with former snipers (tick), construction workers (reno), mechanics (sally) and other people with skill sets. Take my friends, where none of us are mechanically inclined, well Big E is to a certain extent but you get my drift. I couldn't build a windmill or fix a boat engine. I would be about as helpful as Sian as far as that goes. However, even though I am not a fighter, I would not back down and probably become insane like Jim has.

Also this week they got a cell phone with videos from family to test their emotional stability or some crap. I kinda like that but here is my problem with this. They are dealing with nuclear flu that is killing everyone or all but 10% of the population or something like that. Isn't it kinda ironic that EVERYONE got videos? I would have had 2 or 3 people not get videos and make it assumed that those people didn't survive. That will test their emotional stability!

I'll be honest, even if I didn't get a video I wouldn't want to watch it. Too distracting. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I want to be on this show! This week it ended with the Colony being invaded by like 30 people.

On the Daily Show they showed Andy Griffith, that man is AMAZING! That's all I want to say really. I love me some Andy.

I am currently on vacation, as it was the last time I could get time off before the holidays. So far day three and I've done nothing on my list. Well I cleaned...sorta. I really need to do something but I am not feeling well. Headache Monday and just blah yesterday. Today (Wednesday) still sluggish.

Last week Vice President Biden was on The Colbert Report and handed out hot dogs to our returning troops. One of my least favorite groups around PETA got pissed off about this and said that next time he wants to honor our men and women in uniform he should give them veggie dogs. BULLSHIT! Wait...I feel a rant and swearing coming on...fuck you PETA. As a matter of face, I might kill Ace and make a scarf out of tonight just to spite you. Hear that Ace...your dead and it's PETA's fault not mine. Also I think I am going to have Hot Dogs for lunch as well. So PETA...I've got two words for you....HOT DOGS!

For the record I miss Jon Stewart's goatee.

Over the weekend pro wrestler Mike Shaw aka Bastion Booger aka Norman the Lunatic passed away. He passed away from a heart attack which is too bad. I am glad that no media outlet picked up on this as I doubt that it's any kind of steroid abuse for those of you who know what Shaw looked like. It is his picture up top there. I always like Mike for some reason. I've always had a soft spot for the fat men of pro wrestling. John Tenta and Mike Shaw were two of my favorite guys. Shaw as Norm the Lunatic was a great kids character.

Sticking with pro wrestling Linda McMahon has been running for Senate from Connecticut. Last I saw she has made a race of out it and is within 6 points of her opponent. Life would be VERY interesting in the McMahon house hold if she wins.

Chase's online banking went down Monday and came back up recently. I was slightly upset as I didn't know my exact balance and I needed to check to see if my bills were paid. However Chase has said that they will cover any late fees incurred during the outage. That is classy and made me happy to be a Chase customer.

Okay I think that is enough. For the record I didn't kill and skin Ace...he wouldn't sit still. Okay that's not true either. He is fine and annoying as always. Until next time...Abyssinia!

Follow up on the Preacher Man

So Terry Jones, the assclown from Florida, didn't burn the Koran. He was just doing this to show how evil Muslims are. How they are all extremists. All he did was show what is wrong with America. All he did was show why we are hated in the world. Mr. Jones, sir, you are a disgrace. You have shown, atleast to me and more people if they opened their eyes, what religion actually is. Religion is a tool of hate anymore. Has anything been used as an excuse to cause more pain and death and hate? I will end this with the following quote:

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

What happened to the America of old?

I found this while getting caught up on the news. Forced recycling? Really?

Wait...I've got it. Here is an AMAZING plan. Instead of forcing people to recycle, we use a population that is growing all the time. Prisoners. All the trash in the country goes to the local prisons, where prisoners sort it.

Oh wait, even better. We set up recycling centers in every town in the country. We then hire people who are out of work to sort the trash. Brilliant! This would be amazing to fix the economy. Why don't I work for the President?

Okay let me be serious for a moment. This is bullshit. I constantly see the freedoms in this country eroding. Forced recycling. I know some areas that are forcing stores to get rid of plastic bags for more expensive paper bags. Don't get me started on the lack of smokers rights.

I know that some see this as a good thing. However what about America? I am not anti-recycling persa. I am however anti-forced anything like this. This is a choice that I can make or not make. I don't look down on people who recycle, hell they are probably better people then me. I don't recycle. Why? Lots of reasons but that isn't the point of this. The point is I shouldn't be forced to.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just in the wrong era. I mentioned recently where is the change that I heard about a few years ago. Well maybe I am looking at it...and it scares me.

Lost faith...

I am going to be brief here. After going back to the tab with the yahoo story about Terry Jones and his plan to burn the Quran I clicked on the comments to the story. I official vote for the extermination of mankind. We, as men and women, are too stupid to live any longer. The comments made me sorry to be American and to be alive. I just hope that my great nieces and nephews never see what my generation and past generations have said. I honestly have lost all faith in man today, and lets face it I didn't have a lot to begin with. I wish this was some rant or something witty for me to get some horrible pun out but it isn't. I am just truly sorry for where this world is going.

Dragon Factory by Jonathan Maberry review


This wasn't quite as good as Patient Zero....but it was a different book entirely. I know you're thinking well duh. I mean it wasn't a military action horror zombie book like Patient Zero. This one had more character development. This one has more of a story. I like Patient Zero better however. I won't ruin anything but I am not extremely happy with the direction of the book from a character standpoint. If you read Patient Zero then read this. You can actually read this without Patient Zero as they are separate stories and only the characters continue. Similar to like Tom Clancy and Jack Ryan. This story continues after Patient Zero and the DMS and Mr. Church continue to protect us from threats. This one involves genetic abominations and the extinction of billions of people. The question is can Capt. Joe Ledger and Grace save the world one more time? I enjoyed it and while it started off slow it picked up in the last 100 pages or so. This can be found here at Barnes and Noble. If you like a lot of military action, some fantasy aspects and decent writing you'll enjoy this. Read Patient Zero first and if you enjoy it read it. I gave this 3.5 out of 5. Slightly above average.

Not to be a shill for the company but this was the first book I read mostly as an ebook on the nook software. I like it. Slight eye strain but not much more than reading in general. I am really thinking about a nook now. If you haven't checked them out and do much reading you should. You should also come to Twin Falls Idaho and buy one but maybe that is too much to ask ;) However support your local BN or bookstore.

Not sure what is next. Its almost time for the yearly reading of IT but I might skip it again this year. I have the Passage by by Justin Cronin to read. I also have Ancestor by Scott Sigler as well which is the third of series. There is also Law of Nines by Terry Goodkind. Hard to decide what is next. I am however going on 24 hours awake so I think that decision will be made at another time. Until next time...

Anger Issues

Anyone who knows me knows that I am an angry person. I don't know why but I am. I like to swear...alot...and not always in a bad way. You get me in a good mood I swear. A bad mood...I swear. Hell if I don't care I swear. They are just words to me, fun FUN words, but just words. But you are a certain kind of person if you use them. I am not saying a bad or good person, but a certain kind of person.

I don't know where I was going with that, I really don't. In case you haven't noticed I don't plan alot when I blog. I do it because it is my new therapy. Today however I nearly lost it. I know some of you are thinking at work. Nope...although it is coming folks...Mount Gene is about to boil over and god help the poor employees. However I don't want to talk about work here. I was done for the day after a relatively ok day. I went to Wal-Mart to get a few groceries with my tip money...yes I eat on my tip money...lots of tuna fish and $1.12 totinos pizzas. As I was pulling this blonde bimbo in front of me stops as I was turning behind her, so I am now blocking both lanes of traffic. Why? Because someone is loading their groceries into their truck. Thats right, they weren't getting into their truck. They didn't have their lights on. Nope, they were still LOADING THE MOTHER FUCKING TRUCK! I shit you not (see above about swearing). I blocked traffic, looked like a fucking tool for this bimbo.

So I am seething at this point. I figure this must be one of those fat fucks (like me) who will only walk if they get a free cheeseburger out of it. Nope. She is in fucking work out gear! WORK OUT GEAR! I swear to you I almost ask her if she worked out so hard at the gym she couldn't walk another 5 feet. I was going to offer to carry her if she needed it the damn bimbo bitch (one of my favorite sayings by the way, bimbo bitch...say it...it rolls off the tongue...I'll wait...I told you so).

See anger issues. I don't think most people would want to run up, grab the whore by the dyed blonde hair (you could see her dark roots, sex on some people and maybe her if I wasn't so blinded by rage and hatred), slam her into the handicap parking sign and stop her face. Then yell at her as she screamed that now she wouldn't have to hold up the rest of the world she could just park in the handicap stop....BITCH! Honestly that scene went through my head as I whistled and went into Wal-Mart.

Does that make me a bad person. I also have visions of running up and kneeing random people in the head ala William Regal (see this link). Men, women, children, it doesn't matter. Hell sometimes fellow co-workers. Again probably makes me a bad person but I don't care its me.

Ok here is a brief interruption. I am doing laundry as I am blogging and just now I saw a nerd...trust me this guy almost made me look cool...and he had silk sheets. Not one set...two sets of silk sheets. I was dumbstruck to say the least. Anyway back to our regularly scheduled rant.

Actually there isn't much else to say. I thought some might enjoy the picture of me beating up the bimbo bitch, I know I do anytime I think about it. Until next time...

Am I famous?


Even I am starting to get confused!

Glenn beck continued (and another rant ...maybe with less swearing)

So a week or so ago I wrote about Glenn Beck and my respect for him. I have been watching/listening to his radio show. His rally/restoring honor gathering/whatever did bring in over half a million people to DC. Again I respect Glenn. But you know who I don't respect? The morons he has on his show.

Glenn comes off, and good grief I never thought I would be saying this, almost as respectful most of the time on his show and the his sidekicks chime in and I shake my head. Glenn, in my opinion, should get rid of these guys. Actually if I was Glenn I would bring in someone who doesn't agree with me. Someone who would play devils advocate. The reason being that if I can shut them down it makes me look all the better. If I can't then I would admit it.

What people need in this time is not more arguing it is facts. Maybe I'm wrong but that is what I want. I don't want arguing. I want facts. Give me facts. If you can give me facts that Obama is on vacation all the time then do it. However at the same time give the same facts again Bush. I remember we heard it all the time about Bush yet people said it was no big deal. Now those same people are saying it about Obama. You know what you need to do, give me the numbers. Maybe I'm weird but you can't argue with facts and numbers. That is what is great about them. Yes I know you can skew numbers to benefit your cause but if you give the raw data and then results its hard to argue.

I am a logical being but a fair being. I bad mouthed Bush all the time but you know what I will do the same to Obama. That makes me the minority. To take this back to Glenn Beck he talked about Obama's religion and said he doesn't care about what church he goes to as long as he does it for the right reason. A-fucking-men. I almost wish Obama came out and said he was a Muslim. Does it matter? NO!

Again I do not agree with most of what Glenn says politically. Yet some of the stuff he says I agree with. Glenn wants American's to unite and so do I. I, much like Glenn, see what this country is becoming. All I heard about was change and you know what, we got it, but it isn't what we expected. I don't blame President Obama. Hell I didn't vote as I forgot to get my absentee ballot, I never registered in Utah, but I wouldn't have voted for either candidate. I didn't agree with either of them.

Enough of this divide and conquer attitude that almost every politician uses. Lets unite our country. Lets do what is BEST for this country no matter what it is. If forced health insurance is best then DO IT!

For the record I disagree forcing people to have health insurance. It is an option. Now giving a government option is a great thing for people who don't get it at work. I was FORCED to have it when in Massachusetts and I resented it. It was just more money I didn't have at the time. Now I have it through BN and I have used it and thank god I had it but that was my choice. However lets not call it Obama-care. Call it health care because it is what it is. Obama-care divides the country.

Do what is best for the country. Take for example the bill for health care for ground zero workers. It was voted down because of politics. Because it would give it to ANYONE at ground zero, American or not, legal or illegal. Really? That is why you voted it down. Those men and women risked their own life, and now are having extreme health issues, for OUR citizens and now we give them the FU? What happened to doing what is right?

I said it before and I'll say it again...only a different twist. Maybe it is time to start building the vaults. You know what I mean out there. I would like to be in Vault 101 personally...or 106...that might have been cool for a while. Seriously though, my loyal reader...if there are any...perhaps it is time to start thinking about building. Sadly I'm not joking. I know a great spot in Michigan near a lake for food and water. Plus it won't be anywhere near an initial attack spot so we will survive the initial bombing and its remote enough we shouldn't have major problems with mutants or zombies. Join me and we can maybe survive the upcoming collapse...fuck now I AM starting to sound like Glenn Beck.

Until next time I am going to go start figuring out how to building my bunker.

Updated Tool List

The Official Enough is Enough Tool List. I'll update this when I find a new tool to add to list.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger [NEW 9-1]
Craig Kilborn
Paul Watson
Lars Ulrich
Texas State Rep. Debbie Riddle, R-Tomball
Rep. Louie Gohmert

What ever happened....

What the fuck happened to freedom of speech in this country? I honestly want to know. You have Jennifer Aniston getting in trouble for saying retard. John Cusack makes a joke about being "FOR A SATANIC DEATH CULT CENTER AT FOX NEWS HQ AND OUTSIDE THE OFFICES (OF) DICK ARMEY AND NEWT GINGRICH-and all the GOP WELFARE FREAKS." on his twitter page. What the fuck!

I am so fucking sick of the god damn political correctness in the world. I really am. Aniston said "Yeah, I got to play dress up. ... I do it for a living, like a retard." Was she calling someone a retard? Well herself but you know what SO WHAT! Here is what I don't understand, would it have been any better had she said like someone developed challenged? Maybe special was the word she should have used.

Another example not out of hollywood. As I was finishing my associates degree I had to take a business writing course. In this course I was given a list of ten words and had to make them non-gender-specific. Things like policeman and actor. But you know the one that got me? MANHOLE! I had to make man-fucking-hole nongender. What the fuck is that all about! Personhole? Sewer cover? It is a god damn mother fucking man hole cover. Always has been and always will be fuckers!

Yes I realize I am swearing a lot here and for that I am sorry. I'm sorry I'm sorry but I really am tired of it. When a person has to think about every word they say or write perhaps its time for a change.

Honestly does anyone really believe that John Cusack wants a satanic death camp at Fox News HQ? Sadly yes they do and you know what they scare me. It was a joke. Actually it wasn't even a joke as much as satire as I see it. It is the similiar to what Fox News has been saying about the Cultural Center two blocks (or AT GROUND ZERO as some would want you to believe).

What is happening to the country that was once a bastion of free speech? I am not a patriot. But you know what, I see things changing and not for the good. Censorship is on the rise people. Something I can't stand. I hate censorship. HATE IT! Allow me to be my own censor. If I don't like what someone like Cusack is saying I won't return to his twitter page or no see his movies. If I don't agree with Glenn Beck then I turn him off. He should be free to say whatever he wants. If he wants to call President Obama a crossdressing transgender raciest then he has that right. But the people who disagree have the right to say things about him and that is what people don't want. It is ok for me to say things but not ok for things to be said about is the attitude of most people.

Sorry I am off topic...shocker huh? I want to know what happened to freedom of speech. Also when did political correctness take over the world? Sadly I think it is too late to go back to when things weren't insane. Sometimes I think I need to build a bomb shelter and so fuck it and just live there. Not come out and just sit there in the dark waiting for the insanity to end.
