68. More of the Asshole....

i was just thinking some more.....


what i meant to get across before is that we live in this society of instant gratification. we have to have everything now! now! now! and if we don't get it now! now! now! then we throw a massive fit.


we got ourselves into this mess by our need for instant gratification and i just don't think that applying the same method to get ourselves out is going to work. yes - bailing out everyone on planet earth would be lovely. but we all know that the reason most of these people are in such trouble is becuase they were irresponsible to begin with - so what makes anyone think that giving these same fucks a shit ton of money is all of a sudden going to make them responsible? it's stupid.


as much as i hate to say it maybe what this country needs is massively difficult times. perhaps it'll teach us to conserve more. recycle more. save more. lose that now! now! now! impulse.....

67. Bailout Schmailout

is anyone else tired of hearing about all of this bailout crap? about corporate CEO's flying around in luxury jets to beg for money while at the same time refusing to renegotiate their million dollar salaries. about head honchos getting the money and then going on same lavish retreat.


all this and then we have our government telling us to spend! spend! spend!


with what? monopoly money?


i get that things are bad right now. but what i don't get is the spending shit. shouldn't we be saving any money we have? no! no! let's break down the doors to wal-mart - kill an employee - and max out our eighth credit card on a bunch of shit that we don't need! hooray!


i was listening to the radio today and they were discussing the big 3 bailout. this woman was trying to defend them by saying that it wasn't their fault. times are tough right now. people can't get their credit approved to buy cars.


let's back track here. and pardon me if i don't have all the facts - i'm just calling it like i see it. correct me if i'm wrong. 'people cannot get credit approved'. hmmmmmmm......


perhaps people are having problems with their credit because they've bought a bunch of fucking shit in the past that they can't afford. like mcmansions. like houses on wheels that the auto industry calls cars (please. if you seriously went out and bought a hummer because you thought it was cool you're a douche. we all know you just have an incredibly tiny penis). and no i don't feel bad about those people that were duped into thinking that they could afford that big awesome house. you should be able to look at your salary of $50,000 and realize that you cannot afford that $300,000 home.


i suppose i sound like a big witch. i know there are hard working people out there who are in a crap situation that was beyond their control. they did what they were supposed to and lived responsibly. i don't mean to include them in this rant. i'm just talking about the fuckers who think they can go about willy nilly and then hold their hand out the minute it all goes wrong.


urgh. my thought process is just all over and not making sense. i just hate that people who fuck everything up get all this money and the ones who do it all right suffer. ya know?


i graduated high school. college. i work a full time job. yet if i lived on my own i'd be unable to afford my own place to live. i have to pay for my birth control. that one always kills me. the birth control. i work full time and pay for it. there are people out there who can get it for free. pills and condoms - two forms of birth control - free! yet they go out and make babies and then say they need help from the government. screw that shit. sex makes babies. buying all your crap on credit creates debt. common knowledge here.....


i'm going to go relieve some stress now. i'm so cranky i can't tell if i've made a point or just made myself look like a royal ass. ah well....

58. Obama & Mary

the night before the election i had a rather strange dream with obama in it - my first ever dream with him. we were at a picnic in his honor and then decided to watch a movie. so there i was sitting on the floor with obama watching marry poppins.


where does our brain come up with this stuff?


so in honor of his election i'm making chris watch marry poppins with me tonight :)


'just a spoonful of sugar....'

57. And once again.....

.....THANK YOU!

56. THANK YOU!

52. Shut-Up Already. Please.

i am so sick to god of this damn election i could scream.


chris is watching the debate right now and they were seriously arguing about who has stood up against their own party more. if you disagree with your damn party so much (McCain) then you should have fucking run as an independent. seriously - the man has run campaign ads showing how much he's fought against republicans. wtf?


and while i'm on the topic of stupidity and complete and utter morons - i'd like to take a look at drivers. if you cannot obey traffic laws - you are a moron. if you can obey them and choose to ignore them - you are a moron. if you speed more than 5 miles over the speed limit - you are a moron. if you cannot use your turn signal - you are a moron. i am seriously sick of people talking about how bad teenage drivers are. in the past oh - year - i could probably count on two hands the number of idiot teenage drivers i've encountered. adults on the other hand - shit - i don't have the time to count that high. you get your drivers licences when you're 16. after that you have to renew it. you might have to retake in written test when you become so old and senile that you can't even remember what a car is for. how stupid is this? people should be required to retake the driving and written portion of this test every 10 years (at least). because i'm telling you - teenagers are not our biggest concern. adults are.


and with that i conclude my nightly rant.

51. One More Thing....

....lest i sound hypocritical myself let me add that i understand there will always be those who feel that homosexuality is disgusting. they have the right to feel that way. they do not have the right to deny them equal rights. period.

50. Ignorance

i'm in the process of watching (although now i'm just listening to) the vice presidential debate. the topic of gay rights came up. i can't even begin to explain how angry hearing these ignorant fucks talk about this makes me. how fucking stupid can people be?


if you don't like swearing go read someone else's blog....


how people can have a problem with two consenting adults having a loving relationship boggles my mind. i'm literally so angry i can barely form sentences.


people who call homosexuality gross and disgusting are fucking ignorant bastards and in my opinion don't deserve the rights they have. i had a co-worker say to me that he saw to guys kiss on the street and it freaked him out. he was also kinda freaked out by a guy waiting in our lobby who happened to have a pink ipod and be knitting. really? what exactly about any of those behaviors affects your life? i remember hearing al franken say that just because he sees two men holding hands doesn't make him want to turn to his wife after 40 (don't know the exact number) years of marriage and say 'sorry honey - but that looks more fun.' if you are secure in your relationships than seeing someone else's - gay or straight shouldn't fucking affect you. the fact that it disgusts you shows how ignorant you really are.


and most people oppose this on a religious stance. they say it's not what god intended. how in the fuck do they know what god intended. and even if god did intend marriage to be between a man and a woman - religion in this country is supposed to be separate from the government and the last time i checked just saying 'i do' in your church did not mean you were married. marriage is a fucking legal contract - legal. you go to the courthouse to get it. so fucking take god out of it. if you believe in god and believe that marriage is between a man and a woman then fine - but do not ever tell me that god fucking dictates what i have the right to do in my personal life. ever.


hypocrites are what those people are. they go on and on about 'love thy neighbor' and then go protest that their neighbor bill is going to hell because he lives with his partner Sam. fuck that. if all these damned religious people are so up and mighty on the topic of marriage exactly why do they go to such lengths to deny that jesus had any kind of relationship (and god forbid an actual marriage) to mary? aren't those people big on marriage and then lots of babies? but according to them jesus didn't do any of that. perhaps jesus wasn't married - perhaps he was gay.


and then there are the fucks that go on and on and on and fucking on about whether it's something your born with or a choice. WHO THE FUCK CARES. i should be able to decide tomorrow that i'm fucking gay and not have it affect anyone but myself. so you're born with it. so you choose. i could care less. either way you still deserve to share the same legal rights as everyone else.

sorry if this blog isn't completely coherent. like i said i'm just incredibly angry right now. i just do not understand on any level how people who are anti-gay rights and anti-gay period do not see that this is just like racism. segregation. you are segregating a couple from seeing each other in the hospital. from sharing the same rights as other couples. yet most of these people will tell you that racism is wrong and that segregating is wrong but i don't see a difference - do you?


writing this has not calmed me down like i hoped it would. hearing both parties talk about this bullshit makes me not want to vote for either one. how can we tolerate such ignorance to lead our country? how?


why can't someone get up there and point out the fact that all of this is bull. because god forbid you tell the american people they're ignorant. well you know what america - a lot of you fucking are and you need to start looking a little harder at that fucking flag you fly. look a little harder at that constitution. liberty for all. justice for all. freedom from religious persecution. not just for the heterosexual.

44. Isolation

okay. i'm more than upset now. i'm getting serioulsy pissed off.


the united states would like to isolate russia for not abiding by the cease fire agreement in it's recognition of south ossetia's and abkhazian's independence. also - and most importantly (in their minds) invading georgia.


hello! does no one see how fucking absurd this is? georgia invaded south ossetia! russia reacted in an effort to protect the people of south ossetia. what is so hard to understand about this?


today putin claimed that the united states orchastrated this whole ordeal - as in they were behind georgia's attack on south ossetia. he claims they did this to give an advantage to a certain presidential candidate. i don't know about this last part but as soon as i heard of this mess i thought about the first thing he said - and i wouldn't put something like that past our government i'm sorry to say.


agh! what does our government not understand about the fact that we basically have no fucking miliatry to spare right now? what do they not understand about russia having a valid point? i am just shocked that no one in the higher ups (unless i'm missing it somewhere) is against this isolation of russia. do they not understand what a horrid idea this is? oh wait - the bush administration doesn't think. at all.


am i alone here? is anyone else worried about this? i wish i knew some way to get involved...it's bothering me that much.....

UPDATE:
i changed my mind. perhaps putin is right about this giving an advantage to a certain presidential candidate. by creating this whole mess with russia it brings back that sense of fear that the republicans have been oh-so-fond of using these past eight years. so is this a ploy to keep their control of the white house? i would not put it past them......

42. Correct me if I'm Wrong....

...but am i the only one more than slightly upset over this whole russia/georgia conflict - and not for the reasons that everyone else seems to be?


georgia invaded the semi-independent region of south ossetia on august 8th. although technically a part of georgia this region is made up predominately of people who speak russian and also carry russian passports and has claimed their independence since the early 90's. in response russia went in to defend these people (russia also claimed that georgia had killed russian peacekeepers and was also commiting acts of ethnic cleansing).


after this everyone seemed to jump down russia's throat at once. i am by no means pro-russia but in this instance it seemed to me that they had a valid point and that georgian president mikhail saakashvili was unprovoked in his attack on south ossetia. i was driving home one day and listening to people being interviewed who lived in the area of georgia where the russian army had destroyed at least two apartment buildings and they were furious with their arrogant president for having started this whole mess.


saakashvili claims that russia took advantage of the fact that the worlds attention was focused on the olympics when it invaded georgia. i'm sorry saakashvili - but wasn't it your country that invaded south ossetia on august 7th - right before the start of the olympics? so who took advantage of what here?


now today i hear on the way home that russia has decided to recognize the independence of not only south ossetia but also of abkhazian. this evidently did not follow the guidelines of the cease-fire that russia and georgia agreed to which stated that that decision would be discussed during further negotiations.


now i just glazed over most of this but am i wrong in thinking that the west has backed the wrong man in this conflict? to me - saakashvili comes off as a rather arrogant prick who got himself into a rather tight spot out of his own stupidity and is now crying that russia is bullying them. no one i talk to seems to not know or care much about this and that makes me even more upset. creating any kind of tension with russia right now when our military is stretched the max and beyond seems like the worst possible thing we could be doing. and the fact that both presidential candidates seem to back georgia does not ease my mind......


thoughts? opinions? is there something perhaps i do not know? like i said - correct me if i'm wrong....
