Alright, America... ENOUGH already! I am personally sick and tired of everything becoming a controversy!!! Seriously... before you know it, breathing will be offensive, so get your last final free deep inhales in before that is mandated and regulated, due to the endless supply of bitching from the soft skinned peaches that are running this country to Fuckedville, USA... I am so sick and tired of turning on the radio, and the topic has to be about the insensitivity of the masses of dumb asses that are littering the planet with more dumb asses that are softer than you can imagine... THIS COUNTRY IS PUSSIFYING!!!! You know why it is? Because we give too much of a fuck, about things that should not be public. Think about it... One mans faith is his faith... One mans sexual preferences is his sexual preferences... And for everyone to live on a soapbox just goes to show you that there is NOTHING that will be done in the means of peace and love with this fuckery still going on as strong as it is. Seriously, too much valuable energy and hate and care is being WASTED on the opinions, pride, faith, or lack thereof, for no reason but to try to piss off the offended by [fill in the blank].
Think about it... Why should we give a shit about anything? What is fighting or marching, or claiming going to do? All the bitching in the world aint going to make me skinny... All the blogging isn't going to make me famous. The serious issue here is that we care too much about the wrong things... For those who hates religion (no matter what faith you single out or if you have one whole hate for those who have faith), why waste your energy and time trying to point out the faults of the superfucked? For example, the asshole preacher who decided to try to show why servers hate serving christian parties (yes, even as one, when I saw these buttholes coming in, I was not excited, because I knew if I was lucky, I would have gotten a total of maybe 1 1/5 pennies from them), why are you fighting to get this girl her job back? What if she doesn't want her job back? Hell, after I was fired from one establishment that is not Twain's (seriously... it was another restaurant), I decided to hang up my apron for good... Best damn decision of my life. But why are you trying to fight for this girls job? Have you thought about the fact that she may not want it anymore? Do you realize that maybe a city block worth of windows may have been opened to her? But you are delaying her blessing, because you want to do a sit in or a protest, or sign a petition... So I ask... WHY DO YOU GIVE SUCH A STRONG FUCK ABOUT THIS!? Christians fuck up ALL THE TIME! I'm cussing up a storm in my goddamned blog as we speak! But that does not take away my faith in my Savior, and His sacrifice for me... FREE WILL, PEOPLE!!! There will always be assholes painted in all shades of shit. Nothing can be done about it... GIVE IT UP!!!! Don't think you are getting away that easy "O holier than thou..." Its your turn!!!
What does the sexual preferences of a man or a woman have to do with you!? Why do you have to give so much care about someones (should be) private life? We all want to go off and start quoting off scripture as if that is going to stop anything from happening, and it will not! You know why... FREE WILL!!! God knows the heart of each and every man that he has created. He KNOWS what is going on! Why do you feel so strongly to do His work for Him?! How about this... instead of trying to chastise and judge someone for being homosexual, why not trying to get to know them? In the 5 years, I have made some of the closest friendships with people who are gay. Why? Not because I want to support them, not because I believe they are right, wrong, or brave in making that choice for their life, NO... its because THEY ARE PEOPLE!!! I HAPPEN TO BE A FAN OF PEOPLE (believe it or not), AND THEY HAVE HEARTS, AND ARE SOME OF THE FUNNIEST, SWEETEST, MOST LOVING INDIVIDUALS THAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH!!! I don't care if they like someone of the same sex! I don't care if they are proud of it, or still in the closet, or ready to be defiant to the world that has shunned them for whatever reason. I don't care if I am on the fence about issues that surrounds the gay community. Why? Because, I got to know them for them. I got to get to call them friends, and family because they are more than their sexual preferences! They bleed just like me. They laugh, cry, get angry, and live their lives for themselves, JUST LIKE ME!!! SO WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU to try to shun them away because of their lifestyle? The God that we all serve says to LOVE! 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8... We should love the person, not the choice. The choice does not, and should not matter. What do yall like to say (I say "yall" cause its sometimes so embarrassing and shameful to be associated with... yall...)? "Love the sinner, and not the sin?" Well, whats the exception with the gay community? Answer that one for me... STOP WITH THE SELECTIVE, AND ALL AROUND HYPOCRITICISM AND HATE!!! ITS EMBARRASSING!!!
Why do we care so much about things that should not be important? What is the fun in thinking that raising so much of an uproar is going to make you stand out? What is it about spreading hate that gets you off? Why cant we just sit down and just figure things out as ONE BEING? I am so sick and tired of turning on the TV, and hearing that all these celebs are doing this that and the other, and no one is really giving a shit about what is really going on in Chicago. No one is still not giving a shit about whats going on in the 3rd worlds. No one is willing to tackle the real issues here in our back yard. Gun control is NOT a real issue. Kiss my ass, it is not. What about the foster kids all around this country being ignored for the little African, Russian, Korean Chinese Japanese kid? Why can't OUR kids have the same opportunities to live in a great and loving home? What about our politicians? Why are they making all the money, while I sit here broke for no reason? Why are these assholes whose goal is to fuck this country out of every resource it can, in these position of power? Why isn't there an uproar about why this country seems to be going backwards? I know why, because we care SO MUCH about who can and can't get married, or we want to get mad at a corporation and its by-laws... Oh yeah. that's right... I forgot... we don't want to follow the rules... We want to live our own lives our own ways, and tell EVERYONE else that they are wrong... forgive me for stepping out of my place... I guess I should start talking about Downton Abbey, or The Kardashians, or Honey Boo Boo, right? Yeah... that's WAY more important...
We need to place the blame in the right place... we need to care about the right things... Once we do that, then all this other bullshit will not matter... Think about it, and allow it to sink in... I do expect a lot of feedback from this, and I will take every right hook you can throw. But you know what? This is how I feel, this is what needed to be said, and if I'm the only one to say it, then I stand alone. Nothing new.

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
The problem with love is that its not clearly known what it is to the individual. We all think that its saying yes at the alter with God and witnesses, and going on trying to make the more as good as you can for you and yours... but is that all love is? Could it be more than that? Could it be less than what we are making it out to be? Why do we all end up hurting from what we think is love? Well, I have a few ideas... Let's explore them... shall we?
Our views of love are completely different from our parents and grandparents... Back in the days when there was still slavery all the way through the depression, and the fight to keep the nation (mostly the south) segregated, love was something that you needed to make it through the next day... Back in those days, strength was a foundation of true love... With love, the story still holds true--boy meets girl, girl falls in love with boy, and they kiss, get married, have sex, and have a family... But in those days, it was that, plus the strength of our better half to get us through the promised hell of the day. So, if a woman stuck by you when you came home bruised, bloodied, and covered in everything under Gods sun, that was love... And plus, no one ran away in those days. No one knew what being irresponsible meant. Still, to this day, its not a word for a reason! Women who defended her children from unlawful treatment from cops, had to come home to a man that she had to hold back from being killed himself... love was more than it is now...
Now, because of my assessment of love then, doesn't mean that what it is now, or back in the 70's is any different... The only difference I can think of is the fact that people were on this new wave of thinking that love was free--as if our actions didn't have any consequences... More than one "lover," lots of drugs, and psychedelics was all the rage, was there anything as real love during this time? Definitely! Not everyone was full of chemicals, and the radical Jesus movements, the flower power, or the need to be "free." Even in those moments, love definitely existed... But was it with a sober mind that they made love what it was then? Or was it a fear of being like their parents that made them try the alternate avenue of love? What was the excuse of the love in the 80's and 90's?
It's evident that love has dissipated by the time the 80's and 90's rolled around... more times than not, a child born was fatherless... the father was not there to help raise the life of the baby that he helped make... Its just fact... Now, all dads that wasn't there, definitely helped out by any means, but for the most part, he didn't help... So, all these women had to play duel roles of mother and father, and it can definitely take a toll on anyone... Same goes for those fathers who has to play the mother role as well. It was not easy! But love is definitely not an issue... only issue is the thought of love... Was it really there? or was it just a passing fad to get something, and to pass up on the responsibilities? Where the hell did fear come into play? What I mean by fear is, the thing that was implanted into the generation who didn't know both parents at the same time. What are we fearing? Is is commitment Could it be that we are scared to love in order for it to fall away? Is it REALLY a commitment issue?
Well, is it? With technology the way it is today, its so hard to actually hold on to your word... I can't tell you how many times, I pressed that "join/going" button to an event on Facebook to not go... Why didn't I go? Money? Gas? Who knows! I got a catholic bible size novel of excuses... It just goes to show that we can't hold on to something as simple as our word. Also with the world as busy as it has gotten with this thing called "responsibility," it makes things so much more difficult to commit to anything. And in that, love factors itself in there in a different light. Now a days we love beer. We love animals. We love our friends. We love to tear down whatever is in our way be it good or bad. We love to give out the blame. We LOVE to brag about what we are doing or what he have. We LOVE to dream... But what about the girl or guy we met? Do we love them? I can't say for sure, because we LOVE to put ourselves in some sort of ringer when it comes to things like this. When we meet someone who we are attracted to, we don't try to get to know them. We try to get in their pants, and get what we want, and move on with our lives... Sex has become meaningless it appears, and no one wants kids... so many reasons, and fears behind why they don't want them, and so, love is evident that it needs to be pieced together like something from Ikea...
So... when it comes to love in the today and now... where is it? Does it still exist? It appears that once you do get someone, it takes SO long to commit to the "L" word, that its really hard to actually love anyone... So, there's that fear of commitment, and the fear of love... It's sad, and it sucks. Why do we always have to be about our individual selves, and not for the ones we think we like? You know what I mean? I haven't even gotten to those who are in love, but don't want to marry... We all have family or friends that we know, who are popping kids out left and right, and neither wants to actually be under 1 name... not saying that all married couples should be under his last name, but ya know what I mean... Its just so hard to believe in love when its so hard to find, although its right there. And for those of us who really want it, its so difficult to find it, because its been beaten to shit that we will settle for the next thing carrying the disease (seriously, this is the VERY FIRST TIME that I actually spelled "disease" correctly... I AM SO FUCKIN SMART!!!!)... Its just go to show that we all need to work on finding what love is. If not for us, then for our children... If we have any... If we want them... The cycle can end, and it will end, as soon as we collectively figure out that love is just so damn simple to get to know!

10 words that needs to die RIGHT NOW (or 1 whole year ago.)
As any normal human being, we all learn phrases or terms that are used by the general public, that could be either funny, cute, or just another word to add to the English language like "boycott, or "mud" (both named after men who did something so good or bad, that their names became folklore... pretty bad ass I think!)... There will always certain terms that emerge into public to try to make popular, that usually don't stick in your everyday speech... and those words are what I will give you. wrote down 10 words that I absolutely hate reading/hearing, and I have a few "honorable mentioned ones as well... and with that said... lets get started!
Now, Just to let you know, I do not care about grammatical correctness when it comes to these words... As annoying is it is, for me to think about what one is trying to say "whn dey tipe lik dis tryn 2 get a pnt across 2 sum 1," or when they use "your" instead of "you're" can be VERY annoying, but that's a different subject for a different day. But, today, I am giving you the words that the entire world needs to get rid of... With every word, I will give you, I will give a VERY EMPTY THREAT!!! When I usually threaten someone, its harmless. I never mean it, unless you can tell that I mean it, and that usually means that I'm in your face about it. But because I'm not that type of guy, you have nothing to worry about when I say something threatening. So without further a due, here are the 10 words that I DEFINITELY do not EVER wanna hear/read EVER again in my life.
#10: "Grind"
Its OK to say that you are working hard... Why do you have to be on your "grind" to say that you are working hard at whatever goal? Seriously. If you were "on your "grind", You should be a nub of yourself now... I seriously hate this term, cause it is nothing more than just a ploy to expose yourself as someone who is trying WAY too hard, to be better than themselves right now... Not everyone has to "grind" to get to their goal, be it something attainable or changing everyday... Your "grind" does NOTHING for me... Your hard work, on the other hand, I applaud.
#9: "Turnt"
If you have ever used this term here, FUCK YOURSELF IN THE EAR!!! What the FUCK is a "turnt?" Is it a bad turnip? What the fuck is this?! Every time I read this term, it does nothing but make me mad... When did the English language become such a punching bag for society!? This is just another term that I have seen used, that means nothing, and that pisses me off... This does nothing to me instead of TURN up my insanity to very dangerous levels... whoever came up with this word needs to be shot in the butt hole!
#8: "Totes"
OH! so we are talking about a bag... right? WRONG!!! Its a shorten version of the word "total" or "totally." Really... this is getting ri-goddamn-diculous!!! I would understand if someone was talking about a bag when they randomly shouted out "TOTES!" But no... they are just being lazy and saying "totally!" Shit like this angers me... I don't have the English language down to a "t," but this abuse of it is just uncalled for... If you use this term, I WILL hit you with SEVERAL totes!
#7: "Meme"
This phenomena has GOT to stop soon... Everyone already thinks that comedy is the lowest form of entertainment, and now that its practical that "EVERYONE" can be funny by using a "meme," It just goes to expose the unfunny of the nation. Any and everything has been "memed," and it is passed time for any and everyone to stop using them... I will admit, I have seen my fair share of funny ones, for sure, but when everyone gets their hands on them, and shares them unrelentlessly, it just brings my blood to a boil... I hate it when the funny has to be dialed down to the bullshit that is this trend... FUCK YOU TO WHOEVER STARTED IT!!!
#6: "Woot Woot"
So... I should be starting a party when you have a basic, small, mundane, bullshit victory? "I just found the last cheet-o!!! woot woot!" Kill yourself... Right now. Find a gun, a knife, a car, SOMETHING, and kill yourself... The use of this term just goes to show that everything DEFINITELY does not deserve a celebration. If you got a promotion, or you got a job, or even if you got your girlfriend/wife pregnant, then yeah! KNOCK YOURSELF OUT!! Woot it the fuck up! But to celebrate a day of the week, or finding something you forgot about, or anything of that nature, and woot it up, kill yourself. really... just stop living.
#5: "Throwback"
This word here pisses me off to know end. I know its only number 10, but its like we always have to remember what was... why can't some of us be allowed to forget what was?! How do you know how my past went? Do you think, maybe I wanna just keep that shit behind me for good? But no!! We gotta celebrate "Throwback Thursdays," or some fucked up combination of "throwback," and day... who knows, if that particular Thursday, that you wanna "throwback" was the worst day of my life? Ever think of that!? So, FUCK YOU AND YOUR "THROWBACK!"
#4: "Cray"
Wanna know what makes me crazy? Anyone who uses a shortened term of an ALREADY SHORT WORD!!!!!!!!!!! Are you SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!? CRAY!? FUCK YOU!!!!!! Who came up with this mockery of laziness?! What fuck hole did this one come from!? I am beyond sick of this word, and the song that it came from. I can honestly say that I heard the word not even 1 whole time, and I hate that term so much... because, its just beyond lazy. It does not make you cool, or awesome when you use it, it makes you look retarded. Yeah. I said it. RETARDED! So stop it, or else your heart will be eaten by sharks. They will not eat the rest of your body, just your heart. "Cray." A normal person will look at this and say... they can't even finish spelling "crayon?" Lazy, sad, and uncalled for.
#3: " Leggo"
So when did "Lego" and "Eggo" have a child? The right way to say it is LET'S GO! When the fuck did your tongue become so lazy to actually be proud of saying this out loud!? Are you really wanting to try my patience? This is the greatest show of how fucked up the English language has become. Why is is so hard to just complete a thought, or a word by saying it fully?! The Internets should be ashamed of itself for allowing such fuckery to grace its entanglement.... It for damn sure, don't make you look tough or ready when you say it... it makes you look dumber than cat shit. An old lady should run you over in her Buick for saying this.
#2: "Swagg"
What the simple fuck is "swagg?" What do you have to brag about!? What the super shit is so great about your brightly colored, and tacky shirt, your diaper inspired pants, and those gaudy shoes that need just ONE MORE strap for it to be considered "happy goth" that is worth the brag? And that fake gold whatever-the-fuck you have around your neck, is suppose to impress me?! God knows that I'm a patient man, but if I hear this word again, I will sink a city block... What in the blue balls fuck are you talking about anyways?! It just makes you look and more importantly SOUND stupid when you say something that uncool... Kids today are fucked, and guess who is going to get fucked over by them... MY GENERATION!!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!!
And now, MY #1 word that needs to die a horrible and unrelentlessly hilarious death...
#1: "YOLO"
... ... ... Uh... ... I probably will literally kill the person who ever mentions this term to me, in front of my face.
I will seriously take my bare hands, and drag you towards the closest cop, put my hands around your neck, and make them watch as I enjoy watching your eyes go black... This term is a rally cry for those of you out there who has a death wish... wouldn't it be easier to just and jump off of a bridge into on-coming traffic? I mean... "You Only Live Once..." right? Do your parents a favor, and do that if you ever say this word... I am so sick of this lifestyle of where only the young live... That is a slap in the face of each and everyone of your elders and ancestors who have had all types of trials and tribulations to make sure that you are here today, just so you can just live once? FUCK YOU, YOU SELFISH, UNAPPRECIATIVE, FUCK UP!!!!!!
So yeah... these words can go and burn in a trash fire... They really need to!
HONORABLE MENTION!!!
Words that are still on the chopping block...
"BOI" it's spelled, BOY, you dumb shit!
"Hashtag" Fuck Twitter.
"Epic" It is unfortunately losing it's power, and its because, something dumb, stupid, and small, is "epic." Fuck you for using it.
"OMG" And any version of it INCLUDING the "err muh gerd" needs to be shot repeatedly in the face.
"Honey Boo Boo" I hope this dies out soon... seriously... the world DID NOT/DOES NOT NEED shit like this.
and finally
"I Can Haz" This retarded shit REALLY pisses me off... Its not English, and it is stupid, and it makes you sound stupid.
So yes, this is what I had to say about certain words that are being used currently... Grow the fuck up America, and let's speak in terms that we ALL can understand what the fuck you are saying again!
Now, Just to let you know, I do not care about grammatical correctness when it comes to these words... As annoying is it is, for me to think about what one is trying to say "whn dey tipe lik dis tryn 2 get a pnt across 2 sum 1," or when they use "your" instead of "you're" can be VERY annoying, but that's a different subject for a different day.

#7: "Meme"
This phenomena has GOT to stop soon... Everyone already thinks that comedy is the lowest form of entertainment, and now that its practical that "EVERYONE" can be funny by using a "meme," It just goes to expose the unfunny of the nation. Any and everything has been "memed," and it is passed time for any and everyone to stop using them... I will admit, I have seen my fair share of funny ones, for sure, but when everyone gets their hands on them, and shares them unrelentlessly, it just brings my blood to a boil...

Wanna know what makes me crazy? Anyone who uses a shortened term of an ALREADY SHORT WORD!!!!!!!!!!! Are you SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!? CRAY!? FUCK YOU!!!!!! Who came up with this mockery of laziness?! What fuck hole did this one come from!? I am beyond sick of this word, and the song that it came from. I can honestly say that I heard the word not even 1 whole time, and I hate that term so much... because, its just beyond lazy. It does not make you cool, or awesome when you use it, it makes you look retarded. Yeah. I said it. RETARDED! So stop it, or else your heart will be eaten by sharks. They will not eat the rest of your body, just your heart. "Cray." A normal person will look at this and say... they can't even finish spelling "crayon?" Lazy, sad, and uncalled for.
#3: " Leggo"
So when did "Lego" and "Eggo" have a child? The right way to say it is LET'S GO! When the fuck did your tongue become so lazy to actually be proud of saying this out loud!? Are you really wanting to try my patience? This is the greatest show of how fucked up the English language has become. Why is is so hard to just complete a thought, or a word by saying it fully?! The Internets should be ashamed of itself for allowing such fuckery to grace its entanglement.... It for damn sure, don't make you look tough or ready when you say it... it makes you look dumber than cat shit. An old lady should run you over in her Buick for saying this.
#2: "Swagg"
What the simple fuck is "swagg?" What do you have to brag about!? What the super shit is so great about your brightly colored, and tacky shirt, your diaper inspired pants, and those gaudy shoes that need just ONE MORE strap for it to be considered "happy goth" that is worth the brag? And that fake gold whatever-the-fuck you have around your neck, is suppose to impress me?! God knows that I'm a patient man, but if I hear this word again, I will sink a city block... What in the blue balls fuck are you talking about anyways?! It just makes you look and more importantly SOUND stupid when you say something that uncool... Kids today are fucked, and guess who is going to get fucked over by them... MY GENERATION!!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!!
And now, MY #1 word that needs to die a horrible and unrelentlessly hilarious death...
#1: "YOLO"
... ... ... Uh... ... I probably will literally kill the person who ever mentions this term to me, in front of my face.
I will seriously take my bare hands, and drag you towards the closest cop, put my hands around your neck, and make them watch as I enjoy watching your eyes go black... This term is a rally cry for those of you out there who has a death wish... wouldn't it be easier to just and jump off of a bridge into on-coming traffic? I mean... "You Only Live Once..." right? Do your parents a favor, and do that if you ever say this word... I am so sick of this lifestyle of where only the young live... That is a slap in the face of each and everyone of your elders and ancestors who have had all types of trials and tribulations to make sure that you are here today, just so you can just live once? FUCK YOU, YOU SELFISH, UNAPPRECIATIVE, FUCK UP!!!!!!
So yeah... these words can go and burn in a trash fire... They really need to!
HONORABLE MENTION!!!
Words that are still on the chopping block...
"BOI" it's spelled, BOY, you dumb shit!
"Hashtag" Fuck Twitter.
"Epic" It is unfortunately losing it's power, and its because, something dumb, stupid, and small, is "epic." Fuck you for using it.
"OMG" And any version of it INCLUDING the "err muh gerd" needs to be shot repeatedly in the face.
"Honey Boo Boo" I hope this dies out soon... seriously... the world DID NOT/DOES NOT NEED shit like this.
and finally
"I Can Haz" This retarded shit REALLY pisses me off... Its not English, and it is stupid, and it makes you sound stupid.
So yes, this is what I had to say about certain words that are being used currently... Grow the fuck up America, and let's speak in terms that we ALL can understand what the fuck you are saying again!

Oh The Land Of The (fill in blank) And The Home Of The (favorite cuss word here)
"We're entitled!" That's the answer that my friend gave me when describing to my friend how this nations problems, differ from those of the other countries. Entitled or not, I honestly believe that for the new year, we need to make sure that the battle is worth the war. This year ended amazingly for me. The highlight of this year was not the South Carolina-Georgia game in Columbia. It wasn't me getting a full time job and loving it. It wasn't going back to school and finish out with all A's. It wasn't even the brand new friends that I have made from work, or from play. The greatest thing that happened to me this year was "The BronzeLens Film Festival."
It is a festival that celebrates the black film makers, and I saw my favorite movie of the year there. Its a movie that is called "Colored My Mind: Diagnosis." The movie brings about the awareness of Autism in the black community. For a long time, its been looked over due to either status, or education (or the lack there of), and how 5 black mothers, all of different backgrounds of fame, went to Washington to make sure that EVERY FAMILY who has an autistic kid is assured top medical help as they learn about the conditions, and how to manage it... Nia T. Hill, the director of the film did an AMAZING job, and I can not wait to see what features she gets to direct. She is great, and I hope you check her out! Another moment in the festival that stood out was when I met David Frankham. He is the executive producer, and director of the"Witness" series on HBO.
For those who don't know, "Witness" follows the everyday lives that photo journalists who follows conflicts around the world. They followed a woman through the jungles of South Sudan as the Arrow Boys fight to keep their villages safe from the L.R.A. lead by Joseph Koni. They followed a young man through the streets of Juarez, Mexico, as he follows the cops as drug trafficking is ravaging this town in fear and death. Another young man is followed as he revisits Libya where he nearly lost his life, and lost a colleague and personal friend in a mortar attack, but he goes back and captures the country in its latest uprising for civil rights from the black community. It ends as they follow another photo journalist as he travels through the slums of Rio. He follows the police and the military as they attempt to clean up the streets from drugs and gangs as the time of the World Cup and Olympics comes to town in the next collective 4 years. But during this, there are reports of all this crime that is going down and all these "gangsters" that has been killed, but there are no bodies to confirm... So As bad as the drugs are, the law is worse! It has gotten so bad that forensics teams are going around Rio to unearth all these bodies that has disappeared... Its a great series, and like I asked Mr. Frankham, I do hope there is a follow up series.
The series seriously opened my eyes to how full of shit we are as Americans. What were the biggest issues in this country? Gay marriage, marijuana legalization, gun control, and chick-fil-a... These issues are all very insignificant in comparison to what is going on around the world... We sit here and complain about what marriage is, and celebrate a dumb ass plant, and are all so concerned about who can get a gun, and how a company decides to spend their money, to over look at how, by the grace of God Himself, we have it SO easy. You don't have men walking around with already shitty guns, with a flashlight taped to their heads shooting at the first thing that moves (friend or foe) TRYING to protect their kids and families, or at least the ones that weren't kidnapped or killed in front of him. Yes. an Arrow Boy was shot by another Arrow Boy while they searched the jungles for the L.R.A.
We aren't mothers and fathers who are scared to talk to the police in fear of being killed by the cartels, or talk to the cartels in fear of being killed by the police... We aren't children riding in cars when grenades are thrown in and explodes in our laps... We aren't going dying in front of the cops as they stand around, and you beg for your life...
We aren't in a race war, and we aren't overthrowing a government... We aren't losing our lives to let the world know how bad it is over here...
We aren't people being forced from our homes for the world. We ain't parents and friends that are fearing the worse when our loved ones comes up missing, or when they're names flash across the news and you think they are in jail or in the hospital, but their ENTIRE BODY IS MISSING...
No, we don't any real issue in this country. You will NEVER get rid of guns in this country... Marijuana is just fueling the killings and the corruption of the Mexican government and people. Way to go, America... Gay marriage... for it or against it, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! And Chick-fil-a is still delicious.
So the issues we have here can not hold water to what is going on around the world. Anyone who complains about anything in these United States, does not have a viable argument. You know why? We elected these assholes to make the rules the way they are right now. These are the people who are about to reach the fiscal cliff, where the money is about to get out of control cause of greed by those we elect to office... HIGH-FIVE AMERICA!!! Wanted change, we got it, but it wasn't what we expected...
So, its a new year. It is a new chance to try again. So, instead of complaining, and bitching and all that about what problems we have here, when we get to that moment, lets consider the world for what it is... a place that is messed up and in need of more help and prayer than you can imagine. I don't ever want to know the fear that these people around the world lives with... 1st world, 3rd world, no matter, it is not fun to know life in fear... So, we need to re-evaluate our reasons to complain... YOU have it so much better... I have it so much better... WE NEED TO DO BETTER BY OURSELVES!!! We need to make sure that we can extend a helping hand in one way or another, cause who knows when we will need a far away prayer, or a far way pat on the back... Happy New Year... lets make 2013 count.

These Are The Days Of Our Lives.... IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! (Yes. We Are Stuck Here.)
On graduation day in 2001, my mom asked me a simple question... She asked "How do you feel?" To which I replied with, "What do you mean?" She replied with "Don't you feel different, cause you're graduating?" And I answered honestly with a "Nope." Same shit, different day.
In all my life, there was a 4 year period where I just hated life and people. Whoever lied and said that it would be "the greatest time of my life," should rethink their lives... High school was/is the worst conceived idea in the world today... Well, at least in America. Why am I talking about high school? Well, let me take you back to Christmas Eve. It's in the middle of the evening, but you couldn't have told, due to the fact that the sun goes down at like 12:45 every day now... Me and my friend are sitting at a bar (only one open on this side of town), and we are going on and on about life, music, and sports, and what not, and then I brought up the fact that we are all still in high school... If I did not make myself clear at the beginning, I FUCKING HATED HIGH SCHOOL!!! Freshman through senior year was the worlds biggest waste of time, and the worst way to "find yourself" as an individual. High school should be regarded as straight up bullshit... Anyways back to the subject at hand... It is apparent that society today has become one big high school. There are cliques and groups that you have to meet the criteria for acceptance, and there are beliefs that you must abide by in order to be accepted by another group, you gotta dress a same certain way to be tagged as a (fill in the blank) to be accepted by those people, and all the while, you have a family that you don't think loves you, but you are neglecting the fact that they are here for you because you have so many styles and beliefs to conform to... Society today has become one big high school, and I'm sick of it... What the fuck is wrong with people!? Nothing has changed since graduation, some people don't want to grow up. All they want to do, is hang on to what made them popular back in those days... Why am I making the comparison to today with high school? Well, lets look at the world today... the people who are on a high horse are animal lovers, vegetarians, gays, nerds, and hipsters... The people in power, were the ones bullied, and tortured for their beliefs in high school... now that they are all grown up, they think they have all the right to get that time back... those 4 years are multiplied by a lot of followers, and this is the life we are in today. Being an individual who just wants to live your life without it being in front of a camera, or a label has become increasingly difficult. So, to be different means to conform to someones idea of cool or acceptance, but to be yourself, you are just outside of it all... doesn't make that much since to me. But hey! Who am I right? I'm just a guy who likes what I like, and dislike what I dislike, and hates what he hates, and loves what he loves... By default, I don't fit in. I'm the loner, the forgettable, the over looked. And guess what... I am TOTALLY ok with that. As popular as I am, I'm not really a fan of it. As many smiles I put on faces, I am ok with those who expects more from me, and treat me less than my value. I like the fight of current cause at the bottom of the river, the rocks are already polish.

Every Knee Shall AND WILL Bow...
This is all an observation that I have made for a few years now, and it will not be for everybody. If you don't want to hear what I say, stop reading now... If so cool! Thanks! I will tell you that these are my feelings, and this is my blog, and I can talk about whatever I want... For years on end, I have heard every excuse, under the sun, trying to disprove the existence of "god." From the "facts of science," or the ideas built on confusion, even as far as the anger because "He wasn't there," we have many a people who all have put aside faith and understanding, to go throughout life to try to show that there is nothing more than this life... Personally, I disagree with that, but its not about me... Its about how everyone who wants to disprove the power that we can not get rid of. That power is the fact that we all are guided by the want to follow something greater than us. Deny it all you want, but its true! We will always need something to make us feel "regular." We all need a god. Now a days, there are many gods running around the entire world. Some of them we give names to and we don't even know how to clearly define them. Some have names, and we can clearly define them, but we never want to admit that its more than an interest of ours. Honestly, there are more gods floating around than most want to ever admit. I'm going to list a few of them:
Drugs
Sex
Politics
Religion
Money
Music
Love
Relationships
Fashion
Being an asshole
Hate
Stress
Work
Lifestyle
Reputation
Lack of faith
Judgement
Alcohol
Science
Sports
Technology
Lying
Popularity
Rebellion
The list goes on and on and on... When you think about it, its amazing how many gods we serve. I'm not innocent in this, I see a lot of which I sing praises to all the time... But for anyone to go off and say that they do not believe in a "god," you are a fool. If breathing wasn't an automatic thing for most of us, we would be all about it as well... So, for anyone who says they are an "athiest," prove it.

The Elephant In The Room...
Before I get started with this blog, I just want to let you know that I will try to watch what I say in the means of pointing the finger. I will not be using "I, me, or you" in this post, unless I am giving a personal example from my life, or an example from what I heard or saw from a friend. What I have to say deals with an issue that needs to be addressed... Everyone of us has missed the boat, but I will show you where we did in my humble opinion. This is my blog, and I promise to try to not place blame, or throw any wood into the fire. I will not get into any political agenda, I will not get into religion, nor will I get into blaming anyone, or any situation. I will be breaking it down as real as I can, without it getting to be something where its just another opinionated person giving their 2 cents. With that said, lets get started
First off, my heartfelt condolences, and prayers goes out to the parents, of the 20 children that was murdered earlier today. I can never imagine a day like today if I was a parent, and I can't begin to try to console anyone who was directly affected. The loss of innocence, and the fear that was implemented by someone who was not well, did more damage that we will ever know. So, again, I pray for peace for the parents, and the loved ones of all the victims today. Such a sad day... Now to the meat of it all...
Today was a day that we never have wanted to witness, Just like Columbine, and the events in Aurora, CO, and Virginia Tech to name a few, its just another day where we like to give our opinions about the bad. We never want to see the lead up to any situation. A lot of people want to blame the events today on the "lack of gun control," or the "fact that someone sick got a hold of the weapons." And we also want to go as far to blame God for such evil, which is unfair to Him... But in all the fear and the anger, and the want to hold our kids more, we neglect to blame the people responsible for events like what happened this morning... And the ones to blame is US!!! Yes. Us! You, me, them, EVERYONE! We are all to blame for the events that happened today. Everyday, we like to keep our worlds as shut in and keep as many people out as humanly possible. We sit on the bus or train listening to our ipods, or pull up our itunes, on our ipads, and answer our iphones to talk to the people we know, or avoid talking to the person we don't, all the while we are missing the person right in front of us, or right beside us to just see how they are doing. I believe days like today could have been avoided if it was not for the lack of HUMAN INTERACTION. We have allowed technology to take away from us the means of being there for one another. If someone would have just talked to the young man, or just tried to be there, that wasn't family, I believe that we would be sitting here talking about a totally different subject. But because of what happened today, here we are, and I am touching the root of the TRUE problem with humanity. Everyone is quick to ask "Whats going on with this world?!" Well, I have the answer... It is the fact that we, as one human race, lack the balls to just go out of our comfort zone... we religiously go about our daily routines, in which we have it down to a damn near exact science. 6:30 wake up. 7:15 shower. 7:45 bagel and coffee: 8:15 SPEED TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY. 9:24 call boss tell him I'll be late for work. 9:45 finally show up... 1:45 lunch. 5:45 finally leaving 7:10 home... And in that time, how many people have we talked to that isn't in the office? How many bums or homeless guys have we passed, and lied to saying that we don't have a dime on us? How many times have we talked about, or added to the gossip of someone we don't even know? How many people that we say we will be there for, were we never to be found by them? The point is: We have all conditioned ourselves to follow some sort of weird protocol to protect ourselves. We are ALWAYS looking out for ourselves. We like to say things like "I stay on my grind!" or "Steadily hustlin to make this money!" And we expect for everyone to "like" our feelings for the moment... We have worked our way to making sure that WE look out for our individual selves... We encourage our kids not to talk to strangers (which is not a bad thing), and pull them back when a man or woman who may appear unsightly. When we walk down the street now a days, instead of looking ahead, we look down. If a person happens to smile at us, we just keep our heads down and keep moving... We have all conditioned ourselves to fear any and everything that we do not know.
As I said before, we have allowed technology to kill human interaction... When was the last time we made a call to a loved one, and not sent a text? When was the last time, we did not get on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social network site? We like to post about what we are doing, and brag to everyone who is missing out on the "good time" that is being had currently. We also LOVE to post pictures of sayings that someone else came up with, and "agree" with what is said, by "sharing" and "liking" said bullshit saying... Technology is taking us all away from the things that use to matter like getting to know our neighbors, or introducing ourselves to a stranger. We are so afraid to allow our circles to open up, that we don't even want to sit in the chair directly next to the person in the chair next to us at the movies... We always like to sit a few chairs away... right? We like to go to the malls to people watch, and pass judgement on this or that person for whatever they are wearing that moment, correct? How is this going to change?
I honestly believe that in order to avoid tragedies like the events that happened in Newtown, Connecticut, we all have to step out of our comfort zones... What I plan on doing is going out 2 nights a week, and learning about 2 new people. No matter where I meet them, and no matter if I get the cold shoulder... if I get it, OK At least I tried... If change is to happen, it needs to start with the individual, and not the people we elect... And anyone and everyone who is all about gun control, be so! But realize that this country has been built on the right to protect our freedoms by any means necessary. For those of us who believe that God had something to do with it, He didn't... Personally, the one attribute that has me falling in love with God the way I do, is the fact that he gave US ALL free will. Any God who is willing to allow us to chose yes or no, right or left, up or down, right or wrong... So, if anyone wants to blame God, case is not valid. God does not allow the orchestration of evil. You can not convince me of that ever, I don't care if you believe or not.
I apologize about the soapbox moment there, but some things needed defending. We definitely need to work on being human, and not trained robots allowing our phones, our agendas, our "lives" to get in the way of being decent human beings! It can, and it needs to change! We have to take the effort to extend an honest and loving hand of help to anyone who may be in need. If its a bum, give him the measly change that is jingling in your pocket, or a dollar or something... If its a "creeper," let ourselves be known to them! Maybe they aren't creepy at all! Maybe they are just attracted to you... you can tell them no if you want, but get to know who they are... Make a friend before the movie, or before the game, or before the concert... You already have one thing in common with that person... We just have to do better by ourselves. We have to start taking better care of each other by just simply smiling. Show that you care! Make someones day better by just being kind... We can not allow another killing of 20 kids and 7 adults to happen again... we can't allow 22 more kids to get stabbed again... WE, no matter color or creed, AS ONE BEING, NEEDS TO BE WILLING TO TRY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE! It does not start with complaining to the higher ups... it starts by us trying to become humans again... Maybe, our first collective step should be to turn the phone off in public. We don't need to take pictures of our food, our drink, our friends... We should just enjoy the company. Let's try that out for a while.
I do hope you get what I am trying to say in this blog, and I hope you are willing to share my thoughts with your friends and family around the world! By no means am I trying to make you abandon the loved ones we have grown to love, but we just have to try to make being human something more than a proverbial now a day rarity. I also stand by what I said... If I didn't I wouldn't have put it in this blog. If you agree or disagree with what I said, cool! That's your opinion, but, it will NEVER change mines, and I do hope you respect that. Its been nearly a year since I have done one of these, and it feels DAMN good to be back. Thanks for reading, and I hope that this motivate one of you to break the current trend of being about ourselves, and actually start to care about our fellow human beings out there. And when we do, lets leave all the politics, and all the religion out of it. Let's just be friends with differences. ALSO, by no means am I trying to make ANY company out to be the bad guy, I'm just naming products to show how small our worlds have become as individuals. Let's not allow another tragedy to realize how precious our lives are. Let't now allow our selfishness to get in the way of being semi decent humans, WORLD WIDE! We have to allow pebbles to be pebbles, and not turn them into boulders like we did with a certain chicken company, in comparison, that should not have mattered ever, ya know? Instead of feeding the hate, lets at least find a way to agree. All in all, we just need to find a way to slow life down, and allow ourselves to love someone new.
First off, my heartfelt condolences, and prayers goes out to the parents, of the 20 children that was murdered earlier today. I can never imagine a day like today if I was a parent, and I can't begin to try to console anyone who was directly affected. The loss of innocence, and the fear that was implemented by someone who was not well, did more damage that we will ever know. So, again, I pray for peace for the parents, and the loved ones of all the victims today. Such a sad day... Now to the meat of it all...
Today was a day that we never have wanted to witness, Just like Columbine, and the events in Aurora, CO, and Virginia Tech to name a few, its just another day where we like to give our opinions about the bad. We never want to see the lead up to any situation. A lot of people want to blame the events today on the "lack of gun control," or the "fact that someone sick got a hold of the weapons." And we also want to go as far to blame God for such evil, which is unfair to Him... But in all the fear and the anger, and the want to hold our kids more, we neglect to blame the people responsible for events like what happened this morning... And the ones to blame is US!!! Yes. Us! You, me, them, EVERYONE! We are all to blame for the events that happened today. Everyday, we like to keep our worlds as shut in and keep as many people out as humanly possible. We sit on the bus or train listening to our ipods, or pull up our itunes, on our ipads, and answer our iphones to talk to the people we know, or avoid talking to the person we don't, all the while we are missing the person right in front of us, or right beside us to just see how they are doing. I believe days like today could have been avoided if it was not for the lack of HUMAN INTERACTION. We have allowed technology to take away from us the means of being there for one another. If someone would have just talked to the young man, or just tried to be there, that wasn't family, I believe that we would be sitting here talking about a totally different subject. But because of what happened today, here we are, and I am touching the root of the TRUE problem with humanity. Everyone is quick to ask "Whats going on with this world?!" Well, I have the answer... It is the fact that we, as one human race, lack the balls to just go out of our comfort zone... we religiously go about our daily routines, in which we have it down to a damn near exact science. 6:30 wake up. 7:15 shower. 7:45 bagel and coffee: 8:15 SPEED TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY. 9:24 call boss tell him I'll be late for work. 9:45 finally show up... 1:45 lunch. 5:45 finally leaving 7:10 home... And in that time, how many people have we talked to that isn't in the office? How many bums or homeless guys have we passed, and lied to saying that we don't have a dime on us? How many times have we talked about, or added to the gossip of someone we don't even know? How many people that we say we will be there for, were we never to be found by them? The point is: We have all conditioned ourselves to follow some sort of weird protocol to protect ourselves. We are ALWAYS looking out for ourselves. We like to say things like "I stay on my grind!" or "Steadily hustlin to make this money!" And we expect for everyone to "like" our feelings for the moment... We have worked our way to making sure that WE look out for our individual selves... We encourage our kids not to talk to strangers (which is not a bad thing), and pull them back when a man or woman who may appear unsightly. When we walk down the street now a days, instead of looking ahead, we look down. If a person happens to smile at us, we just keep our heads down and keep moving... We have all conditioned ourselves to fear any and everything that we do not know.
As I said before, we have allowed technology to kill human interaction... When was the last time we made a call to a loved one, and not sent a text? When was the last time, we did not get on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social network site? We like to post about what we are doing, and brag to everyone who is missing out on the "good time" that is being had currently. We also LOVE to post pictures of sayings that someone else came up with, and "agree" with what is said, by "sharing" and "liking" said bullshit saying... Technology is taking us all away from the things that use to matter like getting to know our neighbors, or introducing ourselves to a stranger. We are so afraid to allow our circles to open up, that we don't even want to sit in the chair directly next to the person in the chair next to us at the movies... We always like to sit a few chairs away... right? We like to go to the malls to people watch, and pass judgement on this or that person for whatever they are wearing that moment, correct? How is this going to change?
I honestly believe that in order to avoid tragedies like the events that happened in Newtown, Connecticut, we all have to step out of our comfort zones... What I plan on doing is going out 2 nights a week, and learning about 2 new people. No matter where I meet them, and no matter if I get the cold shoulder... if I get it, OK At least I tried... If change is to happen, it needs to start with the individual, and not the people we elect... And anyone and everyone who is all about gun control, be so! But realize that this country has been built on the right to protect our freedoms by any means necessary. For those of us who believe that God had something to do with it, He didn't... Personally, the one attribute that has me falling in love with God the way I do, is the fact that he gave US ALL free will. Any God who is willing to allow us to chose yes or no, right or left, up or down, right or wrong... So, if anyone wants to blame God, case is not valid. God does not allow the orchestration of evil. You can not convince me of that ever, I don't care if you believe or not.
I apologize about the soapbox moment there, but some things needed defending. We definitely need to work on being human, and not trained robots allowing our phones, our agendas, our "lives" to get in the way of being decent human beings! It can, and it needs to change! We have to take the effort to extend an honest and loving hand of help to anyone who may be in need. If its a bum, give him the measly change that is jingling in your pocket, or a dollar or something... If its a "creeper," let ourselves be known to them! Maybe they aren't creepy at all! Maybe they are just attracted to you... you can tell them no if you want, but get to know who they are... Make a friend before the movie, or before the game, or before the concert... You already have one thing in common with that person... We just have to do better by ourselves. We have to start taking better care of each other by just simply smiling. Show that you care! Make someones day better by just being kind... We can not allow another killing of 20 kids and 7 adults to happen again... we can't allow 22 more kids to get stabbed again... WE, no matter color or creed, AS ONE BEING, NEEDS TO BE WILLING TO TRY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE! It does not start with complaining to the higher ups... it starts by us trying to become humans again... Maybe, our first collective step should be to turn the phone off in public. We don't need to take pictures of our food, our drink, our friends... We should just enjoy the company. Let's try that out for a while.
