Michael Jackson, Drugs and Society.

2009-07-13T00:55:00.002-04:00

It has been a few weeks since the death of Michael Jackson. I have tried to refrain myself from speaking about this because it really bothers me about things that happen in society.

Michael Jackson to me was one of the greatest dancers that I have ever seen. I was not a big fan of some of his music, but some his songs were among the greatest ever recorded. He was also a very generous person when it came to giving back to others. So you have to say that he had a good heart and from the songs that he recorded, his heart was in his music.

What happened to the guy that recorded the songs like Billy Jean, and We are the World? Was it his childhood that forced him to hide from the world and do things that some thought were imaginable, or was it society itself that took one of if not the biggest star of my time and sent him to his grave? Could it have been Michael Jackson him self that did this? It is a question that may never be answered, but it is something that we all should take a look at.

Let's just say that the kid that accused him of things was wrong. His parents were greedy and wanted money. If that were and it may be true, society hung a guy for nothing. And if society did not have faith in a guy that had spent his life giving back, I think it would really bother the guy. What about the skin disease that Michael said that he had? Doctors have confirmed it, yet people always accused him of doing other things. The cosmetic surgery may have been to cover up acne scars like he said. And if all of these were true, then we all should be ashamed of ourselves.

I have to admit that I have made wise cracks about things. Sometimes I have felt that I should have kept my mouth shut and put my brain into gear before speaking. But I am not afraid to straighten out things that I do wrong. Yet society in general will keep at it and at it until some one or some life is destroyed. It has happened too many times.

Now, let me address the issue that most believe is the cause of his death. I am not condemning Michael Jackson, although I do think anyone that puts them self in danger of dying and leaving children here on earth alone is a little selfish. I am wondering what the people that were giving him the drugs were thinking. Whether it was a medical Doctor or one of the people that was with him 24/7 , it is a pure shame that Michael did not have a true friend. He did not have anyone to stand up to him and say hey dude, this is going to kill you and I am not going to let it happen. That is the sad story out of all of this. Why is it that people don't want to get involved when it comes to drugs. It is not just on a celebrity level, it is like that all the way down to the poor neighborhoods.

How many of you know some one that you might think is on drugs? How many know some one that has an alcohol problem? I do, I know a plenty of them. Ask any one of them has Dwayne ever said anything to them about their problem? Their answer will be yes. I try my best to do things to try and help these people. Will they listen? No, not all of them. But during my life there have been a few that has listened. They are still alive today. There has also been a few that did not listen and are dead. So I am wondering if it there was actually anything that could have been done to save Micheal? I will never know. If someone tried to help him then they know the answer. But what if no one ever stood up?

Let us all do society a favor. If you know any one that you suspect has a problem. How about sitting down with them and talking to them about it. Ask them would they like you help. Ask them is there anything you can do to keep them from dying at an early age. Let the tragedy of a life that was admired around the world be a tool for helping change the world.

We are the world, and giving a little bit of our time to help some one is definitely a way to make this a better place to live.

Have a wonderful day my friends.

Am I the only person in the world like this?

2009-07-08T22:37:00.004-04:00

You know sometimes I think that I am the only individual around me that has a brain. And then again, I wonder if I have one for putting up with these individuals. I am not a hard person to get along with. I usually go out of my way to be nice to people. Sometimes I am too nice. But when I ask someone not to do something, I really mean it. There is no talking me into it, no beating around the bush, just flat out freaking don't do it.

Take for instance a drunk person. It seems that no matter who I get around these days, they are intoxicated for some earthly reason or the other. I can deal with that most of the time. Having lived in this red-neck haven for my entire life I have had to get use to it. But what I will never get use to is drunk people touching me. Yet it seems that every freaking one of them always wants to put their arm on me or pat me on my back and ask me how am I doing. Well I am doing just fine as long as you don't touch me.

The same goes for the guys I use to work with. Working in construction for most of my life there were many days that I sweated so much that my clothes were wet. I would have enough respect not to get close to anyone. But these morons would want to get as close to me as they freaking could. And more than one time I would tell them to get their stinking sweaty tails away from me.

The grocery store is the same way. I don't care if I am only going to get one thing. I am going to get a cart so that I can make sure I keep my distance from people. But there is always going to be one person that wants to get just as close as they can to you in line and breath down my back.

I am not claustrophobic. I can deal with the tight places and things like that. During my time with the Fire Dept I had no problem doing anything. But I really have to have my space when it comes to people. I have played baseball or softball all of my life. Most of my time was spent playing short stop. And if the person that played second or third got too close, I would let them know really quick. My brother usually played behind me in the outfield. And I would constantly tell him to do the same thing. Let me play short stop, and for him to get out there where he belongs.

Am I the only person in the world like this? I really hope not. How do you like people breathing down your neck? Does it bother you as much as it does me?

I'm the boss, period!

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a happy 4th of July. Mine was boring but hey, I was above ground so it could have been worse.

My daughter is here with me until the end of the month. That is great for me but it has started off on the wrong foot. It seems that she has been hanging around some children that don't want to listen and it is trying to rub off on her. Well, like I always say, the buck stops here. Part of being a real parent is having to stand up to your children and not let the get their way about everything. Usually my daughter is the greatest child in the world. But today she seems to have her ass on her shoulders. She is not too old or too young to have it removed either. I am the boss, and that is just the way it is.

They had a serial Killer down in South Carolina. Thanks to the Police Officers that responded to a Breaking and entering, they put him to sleep.

I hope you all have a great day or evening..

4th of July

2009-07-04T08:14:00.002-04:00

It is that time a year again when we all celebrate our Independence, have a big party and make a lot of noise. I am certainly going to do my part in making noise, I love the fireworks. This a great day that we celebrate here in America.

Those of you that read my blog often know that I love to use the word Moron. I even call myself one from time to time. But as an American, I have that right. And so do all the rest of the people in this country. We live in a country that has more diversity than any on the face of the earth. And we fight amongst ourselves like cats and dogs. Yet there is not one of us that would not stand hand in hand with the other in order to protect our freedom. Because whether our neighbor is a drunk or a moron, we still want them to have the freedom to be just that.

Happy 4th of July everyone. God Bless this Great Country of Ours. And May God Bless all of you my friends. Be safe, don't drink and drive, and make a hell of a lot of noise today!

Independence day!

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

People do crazy things!

2009-07-01T21:00:00.002-04:00

This is going to be a short post but I think this link is worth visiting. It is a story about how a reporter tried to eat what a pro cyclist eats during a race day. You can find the story here.

I remember when my ex was carrying my daughter. It was the day that she went into labor. I came home and she was telling me that she did not feel very well. As I walked by the coffee table I noticed an empty bag of tootsie rolls. I looked in the trash beside her and noticed all the wrappers. She had ate over a hundred tootsie rolls that day. She should had been sick. But she said they were good.

Have you ever done anything that you knew what the outcome was going to be, but you did it anyway? It just makes you feel so good to do the crazy things doesn't it? Have a great day everyone.

Congratulations to my Daughter!

2009-06-29T23:48:00.004-04:00

On Tuesday my daughter will complete her second grade of school and will be moving on to the third grade. She will start her summer break before returning to the third grade at the end of July. Yes, I know it is only the second grade, but it is the only time that she will complete it, so it is special to me.

As some of you know, since she has been doing exceptionally well in school I rewarded her with a kitty. She really has become attached to it. And she does just as she said she would when I told her she could have it. She feeds it, cleans its litter and plays with it all the time. She just loves him to death.

No matter how good things go in life, there is always a down fall to things. What is happiness to one, can be torture to another. And this freaking kitty is torture to me. For some reason he has this thought in his head that my leg is a scratching post. He seems to think that I should get up at 5 in the morning to feed him. He also has the urge to unplug the cords from the computer, not to mention that he likes to attack my feet, eat every time I eat and sit on my head and take a bath while I am trying to sleep. So I am declaring war with him. I have acquired me a water gun. He does not like it. So he either is going to start behaving like a good kitty, or he is going to be one wet cat. I have broke him from getting on the counters by using it.

If you have not already subscribed to my feed, I invite you to do so. I have many followers on my twitter account, but really would like a few more on my blog. So be sure to tell your friends to come sit down and read for a while.

That is all for now my friends, time to go play war games with the kitty!

What really happened?

2009-06-28T10:02:00.002-04:00

I listened to the audio of the 911 call that was made when Michael Jackson went into cardiac arrest. Something is really fishy about this story. To start off with, the guy that made the call was absolutely too calm. Also, when asked were the victim was at, the caller said that he was on the bed. Then he said the doctor was giving him CPR. Anyone that has ever taken CPR, been involved in Emergency Services of any kind know that the first thing you do before you start CPR is get the person onto the floor or a solid object. Giving someone CPR on the bed just doesn't work.

Also, I have answered a few emergency phone calls in my life and I cannot recall any of them being as calm as the 911 tape that I listened to. The caller gave the zip code to the 911 operator. Sounded more like he was ordering a pizza than an ambulance.

The phone call that the family attorney made from the hospital is another freaky incident. Attorneys do not talk. They do not offer information to anyone. They are bound by law to keep matters confident. Yet this guy calls CNN and starts talking about everything in the world. He was way too willing to try and make this case look like a overdose by a drug user. He even stated that the family had been trying for months to get him to stop taking drugs. Just doesn't make sense. There are too many actions that have happened that has the look of screen play if you ask me.

When Elvis died many people could not believe that he was dead. There have been reports for years that people had seen him in different places. And Elvis's daughter even said that Michael has said he would end up like Elvis. Maybe there is something to this statement. If I were the investigators I would be asking for some DNA from his family and comparing it to the body. Visual identification is no way possible for this guy. His whole face and body was man made anyway.

When dealing with a case that started out with the same freaky nature that Michael possessed all his life, anything is possible. And this will be a story that will be in the news for a long time to come. It may sound far fetched, but hey, this is Michael Jackson we are talking about. It could turn out to be a real Thriller!

Stronger Than Superman!

2009-06-27T23:21:00.000-04:00

I had a dream
Please help me understand
Just why I would dream
That I was Superman

I was flying over oceans
I was flying over land
Everything in slow motion
Wow, I was Superman

In the cities I seen the homeless
Some were starving to death
In countries there were children
Some fighting to take a breath

There were people killing others
There were others wasting time
There were people standing laughing
No, I cannot spare a dime

How could I untangle
The ugly mess we made
Could I find a cure for cancer
Could I find a cure for aids

Could I stop the world from fighting
Could I put an end to pain
Could I make each person happy
No one die in vain

Then I was awakened
My dream had gone away
No more Super Powers
The start of a brand new day

But what about the people
That still suffer everywhere
What can I do to help them
Their cross I can not bare

But if we stand together
Take our neighbor by the hand
We can create a stronger power
Stronger than Superman.

Michael Jackson, Dead at the age of 50

2009-06-26T07:52:00.002-04:00

As most of you should know by now, Michael Jackson died yesterday from Cardiac Arrest. Whether you liked the guy or not, it is still a sad moment across the world for his fans and extremely sad for his family and children.

Michael became popular during the 80's when I was a teenager. Although I have never been a great fan of his, I always thought that the dude could dance. The energy that he carried with him on the stage was just amazing. And I don't thing there is anyone that would have pass up a chance to watch him perform either in person or on the TV screen. I am sure he will be missed across the globe.

In the later years of his life, there has been more controversy than dancing. And although the dude has just died, there is already speculation on the behalf of his family attorney that prescription drugs may have been involved. I am not going to comment on that at this time, but lets just hope that this is not another Anna Nicole or Elvis incident.

As we all know, the only thing that we can be sure of in life is that one day we are going to die. It may be today or it may be 50 years from now, but it is most certain. And when it comes at an earlier time that anyone expects, it is a sad day no matter whom it may be.

I do want to point out one thing. I read a lot of tweets on twitter about CNN not confirming his death, or being the last to do so. CNN, you have my applause on the way you handled this story. Until every member of the family has been notified, no one should be reporting a death. The news media is not the place to find out such personal information. As for the ones that reported it with out it being official from a family member or doctor, you are not real journalist, you are just a bunch of Morons.

Have a great day everyone, it is Friday so that means I go get my daughter today. Later My friends.

Political Madness

2009-06-24T22:52:00.002-04:00

When you follow politics, you might as well be prepared to get angry. Especially when most politicians are morons. So today lets talk about another moron. This one is the Governor of South Carolina.

I was able to catch a glimpse of his teary eyed self on TV crying. But I can guarantee you he was not crying because he hurt his wife. He was crying because his butt got caught. He was also crying because he can no longer call himself a Republican and say he stands for family values. I hate it when someone preaches on things and then tries to live another life. He should resign from being the Governor of the State also.

It could had been a lot worse for the Governor, he could have came out and said he had been having an affair with Perez Hilton. That would had been a great story, Moron dating Moron.

It just gets me with all these people that get caught cheating. They all act the same freaking way. "I am so sorry, I will never do it again. Let's try to work things out. Please respect me and my families wishes and give us space and privacy." Or when they first get caught and start trying to explain them self. I have seen this happen to many times in my life, from family to friends. And I always tell the ones involved when they start explaining that they are not upset because of doing something wrong, they were just upset because they got caught doing something wrong. So I have no pity for the Governor what so ever.

Now his wife is a different story. I hope that she is able to deal with this in a manner in which she does not stress her self out. She will be asking her self all kinds of questions about what she might have done differently or what she done wrong. I hope someone tells her that it is a waste of time. She had no control over what he did. It was his own choice because he is a self centered Moron. I wish her the best of luck.

That is enough of my political madness for today, have a great day, night, etc. whatever it may be where you are at. I am outta here.

Just a few thoughts for today!

2009-06-22T23:24:00.002-04:00

I know I have not rambled in a while, but as always, I can find something to say. So let me start with Alex Rodriquez. Seems that A-Rod had to be bench by the Yankees. Which I think he should be benched from the Major League permanently. The only way that anyone that used steroids should be allowed in the Majors is if the have the Balls to stand up and admit what they did and not have to be caught. But, as we all know, people that use steroids have no balls.

Seems like North Korea wants to test fire a long range missile. They also want a nuclear weapon. Well why don't we give the a long range missile and a nuclear weapon all at one time. I am sure there is a sub out in the Pacific that has one of different sizes that they could choose from, although they all are the same shape. And it could be delivered to the location of choice. Preferably to the North Koreans leaders front door. It is evident that he is not going to stop until either we send him one, or he develops on and tries to send it to us.

I really feel for the Iranian People that are protesting over the election results. Everyone knows that the freakoid of a President they have rigged the election results. He is another one that wants one of those nuclear weapons. We have an extra one for him also. Maybe we should not send a Nuclear Weapon to either country, but we do have ones that look like them that would only harm the specific ones intended for. Both need one delivered express delivery.

It seems Obama became a Celebrity because of the fly that was nagging him. My daddy always told me, you can fool many people about what you are, but you cannot fool the flies. They still are attracted to, well you get the picture.

I now have over 11 thousand followers on twitter. No I do not know all of them personally, but they are still a really cool bunch of followers. Twitter is the place to be if you want to find out anything these days.

That is all for today my friends, have a good one.

Discipline

2009-06-19T21:55:00.002-04:00

One of the hardest things I ever have to do is make my little angel cry. But being a parent means that you have to discipline your child. I am very fortunate to have a daughter that listens. But as with everyone in the world, children have mood swings also.

My daughter is eight years old and she has never been spanked by her daddy. I do not believe that causing physical harm to a little girl is the correct approach. And I have had a great success at making her think about what has happened and letting her point out the mistake herself. There is this one little problem I cannot seem to solve. She acts like her mom when she gets frustrated at something or someone.

Now to explain a little further. Her mom is the type of person that if she is trying to do something or gets angry at something, she has to throw it or damage it. Take for instance a computer keyboard. Banging on the keyboard, cursing it, trying to push the keys into the floor beneath you will not solve anything. Throwing a shoe because you cannot get the knot out of the laces will not solve anything either. But try to tell that to either one of them and boy you have started an argument. Then all of the sudden it becomes my fault because of the misfortune. Well that might have happened with my ex, but it is not going to happen with my daughter.

It is sort of bitter sweet when I see this happening. I know I have to teach my daughter not to act like her mom in these situations. But it reminds me so much of her mom that deep inside where my daughter cannot see it, I have to smile. I just cannot get her to stop throwing things.

Her mom had another habit, one that my daughter has picked up. If you try to shut a cabinet door and it does not close all the way, you do not have to slam it. When you do that all it is going to do is bounce off the wood and open right back up. It will happen every time. Then she will slam it again just to get the same result.

Now I am trying my best to change my daughters habits on this. But I am afraid that I just might lose this battle. You all know that I think the world of my ex. And my daughter acts so much like her it is funny. So after 23 years I could not convince my ex differently, I don't think I will be able to convince my daughter either. Although my ex does realize that when she gets mad at me on the phone it is not wise to throw the phone after hanging up with me. Last one cost her a couple hundred bucks.

That is all of tonight, have a great weekend. For all you Fathers out there, Happy Fathers day! And Happy Fathers day to my dad also!

Ouch!

2009-06-18T23:17:00.002-04:00

That is what I was yelling this morning around 6 am. I was awakened by one of the worst cramps I have ever had in my leg. It hurt so bad that if I could had gotten to the phone I would have called 911 for them to come and straighten my leg out. Finally I made it to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water and put it on the bottom of my foot and it stopped the cramp.

Somewhere in between the bed and the kitchen I think I pulled my freaking Hamstring. Today it has been very difficult to walk with out a limp. I even went and tried to walk it out at the track but that did not work either. So I guess I will be limping around for a few days.

This morning I was angry because it happened, now I cannot help but to laugh at myself. I am glad my daughter was not here I probably would had scared her as much as I was yelling at my stupid leg.

Well that is it for me today. The weather has warmed up and it has stopped raining here in NC for a change. It has rained everyday for the past two weeks or more, I am ready for the sunshine myself. Have a great Friday everyone.

Just Another Wednesday?

Not really, today is my 43rd Birthday. And although the past couple of years I have been a real pain in the behind on my Birthday and other Holidays, today is going to be different.

For the past 43 years I have seen and done a lot. And it dawned on me last night that no matter what I might think sometimes, I have had far more good times in my life than I have had bad. And the future is going to be the same way.

I hope the rest of you have a wonderful day! And thanks to everyone that reads this blog. Everyone of you are special to me. I am outta here for the day. Later my friends.

What's on your mind?

2009-06-15T22:26:00.002-04:00

I see this question every time I log into Facebook. And lately, there has not been much of anything on my mind. That is because I will not let it. I go through spells where it seems I am constantly thinking about things and when I do that all it does is make me angry of confuses me. So keeping nothing on my mind helps me to function a lot better. The more I think about something , the better chance I have at screwing something up.

But what is on your mind? Sometimes I get a lot of comments, sometimes I get none. I know that there are many of you out there that are reading my blog. But what I don't know is what all of you are thinking. So lets play a little game here. How about telling me what is on you mind. It can be a short answer or it can be a thousand words. Just take the time and respond.

So what is really on my mind? I am trying to figure out how to convince a kitty kitty that the key board is for my use only, not for him to get in my lap and smack at it. But I am not having any luck at that.

Have a great day everyone.

Daughter makes rules for daddy!

2009-06-13T10:35:00.002-04:00

My daughter and I had a little conversation last night about marriage. We were on the way to the grocery store and I for some reason told her that I needed to find me a wife. She said that absolutely no way I could get married again. Well being 8 I can understand her saying something like that, but I had to ask her why? Well the answer was not what I expected. She told me that I already had one woman to do me sorry so why get another one. I calmly told her that her mom did not do me sorry, she just had a malfunction of the brain. She knows that I am never mad at her mom. So being the young lady that she is, she insisted that she was right. So I let her have her way about that.

Then I asked her if I would let her choose a wife for me would it be alright? Oh she was all for that. Then came the part that made me laugh for hours. She told me that it would be perfectly fine if I got married, but the only way I could do that was the lady had to have a limo. Well I don't think Oprah is looking for a husband. The she informed me that the limo had to have a hot tub in it. She wants an indoor swimming pool in the ladies house, five horses, her own personal jet and the last one beats them all. She wants her own personal McDonald's in the limo. Not even I could have thought of that one.

So if any of you know any ladies that has a limo with a McDonald's in it, please let me know. I would like to ask them out on a date.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Sad Story in Washington

2009-06-10T22:40:00.002-04:00

As most of you know there was a shooting in the Capitol City today. Seems like an 88 year old man decided to walk down the streets of Washington with a shot gun or rifle, walk into a museum and start shooting. My prayers are with the security guards family. It is sad that he had to lose his life that way.

Now, how does an 88 year old man get a gun into this building. He had to walk down the street with it. And the White House is just a couple of blocks away. I know there were probably a few that seen him and just figured he was going to Pelosi's office or something and just ignored him, but come on, not everyone.

It is really time for people to stop shooting people just for the fun of it. It is no sense in doing that. It does not solve anything at all. Americans should set an example for the rest of the world to follow. Not act like the terrorist that we are trying to rid the world of.

Now a family is going to have to bury another hero that gave his life to protect the innocent people here in this country. All because some moron wanted to do commit a cowardly act. If you ever get the urge to shoot someone, start with yourself. I will not bother me the least little bit, just leave the innocent alone.

Swine Flu part II

2009-06-08T22:54:00.002-04:00

Seems like the county that I live in also has become infected with the swine flu. Today it was reported that 5 children from one of the local elementary schools have tested positive for the H1N1 Virus. They also sent over 30 home today because they had symptoms of the flu.

Now what does a normal parent that has a sick child usually do when they are sick? Keep them at home until they get better so they do not infect the rest of the world. But there are many self proclaimed great and wonderful parents out there that send their children to school whether they are sick or not. There is no excuse for them doing that. If their boss will not let them off work to take care of them, take them to work and tell them that they have the swine flu, I am sure they would be more than willing to understand someone having to miss work after that.

If you do not have the swine flu but would like to get it, go to the local park here in Person County. I went and took a walk around the track and witnessed at least three different children that had runny noses wiping their nose with their hands. Now I know that they do this because they are not taught any better, but it does make me wonder about the intelligence level or their parents. If you do not catch it there, you can try the toy section at Walmart. That is where many of the parents drop their children off to play while they are grocery shopping.

That is all for the day, have a good one.

Saturday Ramblings

2009-06-06T12:33:00.002-04:00

As you may know from my last post; a student at my daughters school ( Laurel Park Elementary) has been confirmed as having the SWINE FLU. What gets me is the news media nor the school system give the name of the school to the public, they said that it was not in session at the moment. Yea right, for those of you at the Wake County School System and the Health Department, the school is a year round school. It is always in session. The student though is on his 3 week vacation from what I have learned. Even Politician at the local level have a little moron in them.

Obama is over seas again apologizing for a few Americans. He is not apologizing on my behalf though. What the US has done needed to be done. There is nothing to apologize for. They are the ones that are trying to kill us.

I have a new kitty cat here at the apartment. Although I do not really need a cat, my daughter has been having a fit for one. She has my Cat with her at her moms but she needed another one here. She also wants a goat, a dog, a horse, and anything else she sees. The Cat will have to do for now. She has learned how to feed and and clean the litter box already also. I will do it when she is not here, but when she is, it is her Cat not mine. She is doing great with it so far.

It seems that the NBA'S Greatest Loser AKA Lebron James was fined 25K for pouting and not talking to the media. Maybe if he had went to college for a couple years he would have learned that no matter how good you think you are, you can alway be beat. Physical Ability can get you a little ways in life, but being able to use your head besides something other than a hat rack can get you even further.

Dale Jr has a new Crew Chief, maybe they can turn things around. I am tired of watching Jimmie Johnson win every race and championship. He can be beat also, someone just has to use their head and start doing it.

That is all for the day, my daughter and the Kitty is taking a nap. Think I am going to go wake both of them up like they did me at 5 this morning. Later my friends.

Swine Flu

2009-06-04T21:47:00.002-04:00

It seems that they have a confirmed case of the swine flu at the school that my daughter goes to. Luckily the person is not in her class or in the before or after school care that my daughter attends. I know that this has been just a mild illness, but I don't want my daughter to get sick with any illness. Mainly because I always end up with what she gets. The Wake County School system sent out a note and said that they were going to disinfect the school tonight.

After a week of hell around here things are a little better for me today. It has been a few days since I posted so I figure it was about time for me to get back at it. I hope you all have a great weekend, I will be around hopefully with more post. Take care my friends.

So how is everyone doing?

2009-05-26T22:47:00.003-04:00

I hope that all of you are doing just fine. I am doing OK here myself. Trying to stay away from the computer a little more than what I have been doing in order to work on a few other things that are going on in my life. But by no means am I giving up my blogging. I just cannot do that unless I am forced to, and I don't think that is going to happen.

I see that the California Supreme Court upheld proposition 8 that was voted on last November. I know Perez Hilton is probably happy as can be knowing that the Supreme Court has the same views as Miss California does. It would have made things even better if they had came back with a ruling that said Perez Hilton was a moron also. But they have bigger and better things to worry about. Like I have said before, I have no problems with Gays and Lesbians having a Civil Union, but marriage to me will always be between a man and a woman.

Obama named his candidate for the Supreme Court. I cannot speak intelligently about the nomination because I do not know much about her. Although from what I have read she seems to be more of a Liberal than anything else, but that is Barrack Obama for you.

North Korea seems to be playing a game of cat and mouse with Obama and the rest of the world. They have pretty much made the point that they are going to do what they want to do no matter who says what. This is going to be interesting. Is Obama going to stand up to them, or is he going to bow like he did to the Saudi guy?

That is all for me for the moment. You all have a great day.

Memorial Day Blues

2009-05-24T20:35:00.003-04:00

I hope you all are having a great Memorial Day weekend. I would like to say thanks to all the men and women that have served in our armed forces, let me take that back, all except for two. They know who they are and the can just kiss it, I am not thanking them for nothing. And for all the ones that paid the highest price for our Freedom, my prayers are always with them and their families.

Over the next few weeks or months you will most likely see fewer and fewer post from me on this blog. My heart is just not into it right now. Between dealing with stress from hearing loss, stress from being unemployed, and not being able to remember where I am or what I am doing sometimes. I feel it is better for me to just slow things down a little bit.

Realizing that I cannot turn back time and the only thing I have to look forward to in the future is letting my daughter down, my mind does not want to function properly anymore. I went 40 years of my life and never got confused about anything. But lately, wow, you just cannot imagine. There is only one thing I am certain of these days and that is the fact that I want to get out of this town I live in so bad I cannot stand it. But a million other things and thousands of dollars stand in my way of accomplishing that. But I am not giving up on anything.

I am still going to be around. As for those of you that may be looking for my entrecard I removed it. It is not fair to you to advertise on here when I am not giving it 100% like I should.

Until next time, whenever that might be, I am outta here.

Went Fishing, ended up Hunting

2009-05-22T15:25:00.003-04:00

I decided to go fishing this morning but I ended the day hunting down a snake. Yea good ole me decided I was going to walk around the pond that I was fishing at barefooted. Nothing unusual for me to do. The horses keep the pond fairly clean around the edges so I can see pretty much everything, except in this one spot where I was catching all the fish at. I cannot hear worth a crap but when I seen that ugly old thang jump at me I found out that my reflexes work just fine.

After he missed taking a bite out of me for lunch his scared 3 foot long two inch wide self decided he was going to crawl his self back in the bush where I could not reach him. Well I went up to my buddy James's house and got one of his shot guns and James decided he was going to help me find him. We get back down to the pond and it took about 2 minutes for James to spot him under the bush moving around in the water. James shot first and swears he hit him but it was still moving a little too much for me to take any chances, I don't miss when I shoot so I decided to finish him off.

Snakes and I do not get along, never have and never will. Especially when they strike first. The only kind of snake that I like is a dead one, and I don't want to get too close to them.

Have a great Holiday weekend everyone. My daughter is spending this weekend with her mom so I am going to be a little lonely, don't be afraid to say hello. I am outta here my friend.

Obama bumped his freakin head!

2009-05-21T12:20:00.002-04:00

Listening to Obama speak today I have to say he has bumped his freaking head. Start bring the terrorist over here to live in the luxurious US Federal Prisons will only give these people in these third world countries another reason to try and kill us, cost tax payers more money and prove how week The President is when it comes to defend this country. And you Liberals that support this need to wake up also. You think your rights are violated now, wait until you have to deal with one of these people living in your back yard. Women do not have rights in their world.

All these terrorist have to do is recruit one person that does not have a life sentence, once he is released, you then have al queda in the US. Do you want your child blown up at a movie theater because of one of them? I don't. Obama wants the whole world to like us. Well if no one hates us then that means we are doing something wrong. Because terrorist and criminals only prey on the weak, they run from the strong. Obama needs to take freaking nap and have a different kind of dream. These people are detained because they wanted to destroy the whole country, not just one of us. They want to kill all of us, Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, doesnt matter to them. And the six morons that voted against banning them from our country in the Senate yesterday need to be deported not just voted out of office.

Why is Obama so against punishing terrorist? Are they his blood relatives or something? If he is truly an American like he says he is, he needs to start acting like one when it comes to Security of the Nation.
