christmas is coming
i'm talking about the annoying coin collector of the salvation army .i honestly don't know how they stand there ringing their bell for hours on end .the high pitched ringing drives me mad .yet day after day from thanksgiving to christmas they are out in force .i think i'd rather them ask me for change like a bum rather then them ringing the bell .its really bad because the second you get out of your car you you hear it .and it only gets louder as you walk up to the entrance
i don't remember which store it was but several years back wal-mart or target banned the salvation army from collecting in front of their stores .and i applauded them .yet most of the public condemned them saying it wasn't right not to let them collect .the store claimed their ringing bells annoyed customers .and they're right .well at least it annoys this customer .i've thought many times of offering the bell ringer money for his bell .yet i never do because then i'd have a bell i have no purpose for .and i'm sure the ass would just get another bell the next day

if you plan to go missing at least let me know

so this is black friday?
however it wasn't so good in showing the good in people .every year on this day you hear of at least one death .either caused by someone cutting in line so someone else shoots or stabs them .which makes no sense because if you're in jail for murder .you can't really take advantage of the good deals .the other unfortunate thing that occurs is people in a mad rush to get in the stores stamped and trample unfortunate souls to death .i'm actually unaware how you could be so wanting of something you fail to notice a human being underneath your feet
the yahoos that camp out for days in front of the stores to be the first in line crack me up .especially the ones up north in the sub freezing weather camping out for up to 2 nights just to save $200 .i think there is some seriously idiotic people in this world missing more then a few screws .i'm all for saving a few bucks but two days in a tent rather then spent in my own bed in the comfort of my home .i think i'd spend the extra money

woulda, shoulda, coulda
a cop pulls over a speeding cadillac and walks up to the driver and asks him "sir do you know how fast you were going?" and the driver responds "no sir i don't ,i guess it just kinda got away from me" and the officer says "well you were going 75 in 55 ,now i'll let you off with a warning this one time" and just as the driver is feeling relieved the officer takes out his flash light and whacks the guy on the fore head .an instant goose egg raises up and the guy in a really shocked voice exclaims "what the hell was that for?!?" and the officer calmly responds "well if you let this car get away from you again and another officer up the road pulls you over .he'll be able to see that you've already gotten a warning" now the officer walks to the passenger side of the car and asks the passenger to roll his window down and the officer without saying a word whacks him in the head too .and of coarse the passenger yells "why'd you hit me?" and the officer says "well i know yall are going to get a few miles up the road and you're going to look to your friend and say "boy if that cop would have done that to me.........!""

i might do it if you would just ask
hes not the only one who does that either .just the most constant one .but i really don't understand why someone can pretty much outright demand your help and expect it .i'm all for helping someone in need but i do expect courtesy when you ASK for it .yet still people don't ask .its almost as if they think they're owed .and i really hate those people that have that false sense of self righteousness thinking every one owes them for no reason

another thought on procrastination
please stop crying
i'd like to make a plea to all women out there .when you feel like crap for whatever reason .please tell us .don't just say "i'm fine" .i know its yalls way of seeing just how much we care about you by pushing us away and seeing if we come back or let you put the distance between us but that's not healthy .if you love the man you're with be honest with him .tell him when he screws up .or at least his major screw ups cause lets face it .you'd go horse telling us every thing we did wrong .or at least i know my girlfriend would
now i'm sure eventually my girlfriend will read this and i want her to know i'm not typing this about her nor did she or her actions make me want to write this blog .but yes she does do the things i'm talking about .i don't blame her .i know its not something she does consciously and that she does try to be open with me about her feelings .and just for the fact that she does make the effort .makes me only love her more

i don't care why you whispered .but i care that i whispered back
if you’re like me .you like to mess with people .i think its just the simply pleasure i get out of making people scratch their heads
i’ve noticed that when you whisper to someone they will almost always whisper back to you .even if its on the phone .they whisper whatever to you so whisper back even though you don’t need to not being in the same room with them .what i like to do is whisper to someone i’m having a conversation with and when they whisper their response i again talk normally .the other person usually says nothing about the whispering that just occurred .why is that?
i think it’s the herd effect .we as humans mimic other humans so we are not the odd ball out .think about it .i know a lot of people are thinking “i don’t care if i stand out” but the truth is you do care .so you try harder to do so .i’m not knocking you by any means .i’m just saying it’s a deep seated survival instinct .you see other people all running in the same direction .more then likely you’re going to turn and run along with them .again .it’s a survival mechanisms we have honed over the millions of years we have been evolving

i know you do it too
one theory (posed by my girlfriend) was that the yes corresponds to you thinking “yes ,this is where I was calling” .but if that’s so why say it out loud .i know i have a busted mind to mouth filter but is it a more serious and wide spread problem then i had perceived .if so it will make for some interesting gatherings

i'll rip your head off
i'm a caring person by nature and i wanted to help the bird if i could which by the way turns out it was a pigeon not a dove .anyway i came back inside and grabbed my leather gloves and a box to put the pigeon in .went back outside and started to pick up the bird to place him in the box knowing he was hurt just by his sitting there but i wasn't ready for what i saw next (if you have a weak stomach, you might not want to read on)
as i gently tried to pick up the bird and put him in the box i see that he has a half dollar sized hole in his chest area .on the right side in front of his wing .at that point i sent the boys inside .and i knew i had to put the poor thing out of its misery .so i came back inside and asked my girlfriend (that's an animal person) what the most humane way to kill the bird would be .she said to break its neck .so i went back out there and gently grabbed the pigeon's body in one hand and then his head in the palm of the other with his neck in between my fingers and i twisted at least one full revolution and bent down at the same time .now i know birds have very flexible necks but i heard it crack several times .i thought my job was done and so i set the bird down only for it to flex its neck and stand up and run into the corner away from me
i felt so bad knowing i just hurt it rather then putting it out of its misery like i was trying .so .i grabbed the bird once again the same way as before but this time i knew i had to try differently so i not only pinched his neck but i simultaneously pulled trying to separate its vertebra to the point it broke .and it certainly broke .because i accidentally ripped his head right off .blood squirted every from out of his neck as his heart kept pumping all over the door frame, my hands and arms and puddled on the porch .i dropped his head on the porch next to his now lifeless body and pool of blood and i saw him looking at me till his consciousness (if bird have consciousness) left him as his eye slowly closed .i know i did the right thing .but i still feel bad about it

weather
down in the part of texas i'm in the weather is not a constant thing .by that i mean one day we will have our A/C on and the next we have to turn on the heater .it certainly doesn't make it easy on your system waking up in a sweat from having the heater on while over night the weather got hot .yet again .my girlfriend and i are having a long distance relationship which will be a topic of a future blog .but she lives and is from michigan .she came down here to meet me for the first time and we ended up in the emergency room with her having trouble breathing .that was partly due to the heat of the summer as it was june .but we also have very humid summers (humid winters too) so it feels a lot hotter then it actually is .and if those two things weren't enough we have the lovely polluting oil refineries not but 1000 yards away

you want my gun? i'll let you have the bullets first
i don't for the life of me understand why guns are targeted as the evil things .any one with the least amount of intelligence knows a gun by its self is harmless .its the intent which a person uses the gun that posses the possible problem .i don't know what the statistics are but i'm sure way more people would use a gun only in self defense rather then cause harm to another .there are always going to be bad apples .always .which is why i don't believe world peace is an achievable goal .people will always disagree .and a very small majority of them turn to violence . yet we have to be punished?

the stop sign isn't a suggestion
this week the baby sitter is on vacation which is and was a topic for another blog but anyway i'm watching my nephews in the afternoon and i go meet the older one at the bus stop at 3 every day .i sit there on the corner waiting on the bus to arrive .its a four way stop .well suppose to be a four way stop but its more like a four way slow down .which is retarded .i mean this it less then a block from a middle school .the kids should be old enough to know not to walk out in front of a car but still .not only is it in an area near the school but when my nephews bus does pull up not a single car is suppose move or pass the buss yet these idiots in a hurry continue on as if the bus wasn't even there

procrastination
i think its something we are all guilty of rather or not we will admit it .i often hold off on doing things till i can no long hold off .whether i'm pressured into doing them or told to i better do i better do it now .but i still don't know why .and honestly it pisses me off that i do this .yet i still do it .i still hold off on things thinking i'm enjoying myself yet i'm really just prolonging my misery .there are times i consciously think and then do things as i know they need to be done so that i'll not have to do or worry about doing them later .and i will admit that i like knowing i've nothing but to relax later .so if i know i like the stress less feeling why would i feel like putting something off would be a good idea ?

instant winner
it just really irritates me that that this passes for "instant" i know not much of anything anymore is instant but why take away that feeling of turning over the cap and seeing if you have won a prize or if you're just the loser you've always been .why would they think people want to have to open something .log online .find their website .enter all sorts of irrelevant personal information .all to find out they're a loser? .i think it makes you an even bigger loser then if you would just flip over the top and see you've lost .because this way you have to actually put effort into finding out how unlucky you are
my thinking is if i lost (something i didn't even know i was entered in) .tell me don't make me work to find out .it might sound lazy but i just don't like having to work to find out disappointing news .that would be like paying someone to kick me in the nuts .but if the cap is a winner .the i could totally understand having to log on and enter a code to claim your prize .i guess this is just one of the many prices we pay for making this world the ass backwards place it has become

how can a toy bring out the worst in a kid?
but why would two kids like a toy so much they'd risk having it taken away because they can't share it .i told them numerous times that if they didn't share it and share it nicely that neither one of them would get to play with it .and this morning the younger one asked to ride on the four wheeler and i told him it was to early .he then begin to pout and started calling me stupid and the started crying .i really hate that damn four wheeler

no more mr. nice gay
they picked the mormon temple as the gathering spot because the mormon church apparently contributed somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15 million dollars to push for the proposition to get passed .and as one lesbians sign read "why can you have 8 wives and i can't even have one?" .not only is it funny .but it raises a valid point .why does the moron, whoops mormon church think that god would be ok with them having multiple wives, many of which are under legal age at the time of marriage .but the marriage of a man to a man or a woman to a woman would cause some sort of downward turn of the moral fabric of society .well i have news for them .pedophilia and bigamy isn't something that screams morality .to me and i think many others it'd scream gross and for the police to be called .yet the marriage of two legal aged consenting adults is now illegal .that i don't understand
if you're wondering why i care about this .its because i have two gay brothers and i believe they should be able to get married .they should have all the same rights as anyone else .being gay isn't a choice .being gay is something you're born .just like being born into a certain race

if you want me to do it you need to shut up about it
anyway this morning he asks me if i would finish vacuuming the rest of the house .i said yes cause i did tell my mom i'd do it yesterday but i ended up sleeping all day and all night so i didn't .but he asked me to vacuum and since then has asked me 20 times since .my mom woke me up last night to tell me i had a subway sandwich in the refrigerator. i didn't want it then but today at about noon i was getting hungry so i went to see if it was still there .it was and as i grabbed it out of the fridge my dad was walking in the house .he saw me with my sandwich and asks if i wanted to split "the" sandwich with him .it was only a six inch so i said no and then asked him "wasn't it for my supper last night anyway?" and he said "well yeah but you didn't eat it" i guess that in his mind meant i never wanted it? so i told him "i know i didn't eat it last night and i didn't eat breakfast this morning so i'm pretty hungry" and he says "well, i guess if you vacuum you can have it" .what the hell is going on here? .hes going to let me have my own sandwich that was meant for me if i do something i already agreed to do? .i held my tongue and eat my sandwich
.later my mom calls wanting to know the name of the coffee maker we have to buy one for work .so i go in the kitchen and spell the name to here .and when i'm done she asks me if i'm going to vacuum .she of coarse didn't know my dad had told already asked me .so i told her that he had and i said i would .she went on to ask me again if i would vacuum .not only that but asked me to redo some of where my dad had already vacuumed .i guess in three hours he still managed to leave trash .i didn't agree to redo what he had done cause i already have to vacuum the 80% of the house he didn't do last night
at this point i'm pretty pissed off and don't want to do it what so ever .my dad after waking up from his nap comes in my room and asks me who had called .and i told him it was mom .he then says "what'd she want .did she ask you to vacuum" and went on to remind me to vacuum .all i want to do now is beat the crap out of someone or something
if you want me to do something i don't want to do .its best not to ask me 50 more times after i agreed

i think your falling behind in this race
i find it rather sad that although all the steps forward we have taken as a people .having the first black president barack obama is a step forward .i don't like the man but not based on his race .i don't like him based on the fact he consorts with people who clearly hate america such as reverend jeremiah wright and the self confessed bomber bill ayers .i don't care what color your skin is .if you hate america or were under guidance from people who hate america .you lost my vote .but anyway barack is the president elect and it is a step forward for equal rights .yet he himself thought the color of his skin would matter .and he's not the only black man that does .i have heard and heard of numerous black people who want equal rights but yet .when or if they feel they're getting a raw deal .which just happens how every one is treated .they claim that their skin color is the issue .i don't understand how that works .if you want equal rights you have to be ready to get treated like crap like every one else .and shut their damn mouth about the color of their skin .cause they happen to be the only ones focused on it
if you have read that and think i'm a racist i don't really give a crap .i know i'm not and i treat people equally what you need to do instead of point fingers and blame others is practice over looking difference and just accept each other for the diverse and great things we each have to offer this world

don't lie
now i'm not saying lying isn't something i don't do .cause that would be a lie .but i do hate lying and try hard never to do so .there are times i would say lying is necessary but for the most part .there's no reason to .why lie and make something hard on yourself down the line if you can man up and tell the truth and be done with it .i've tried and am still trying to teach my nephews that lying will only make you get in trouble twice .telling them if they do something wrong and they confess about it .they'll only get punished once .but if they do something wrong and lie about having done it .they'll get in trouble twice .once for whatever they did wrong and again for lying about it
yes there are times when telling the truth is extremely hard .like when you know the truth is going to hurt whom ever it is you have to tell .but i know that if i were to lie to them rather then tell the truth it'd only hurt them worse .having given them the false impression of whatever the lie was .and it lets them know that you (like i said before) don't respect them
i honestly don't get the draw of lying .i do feel the urge to lie from time to time but its just easier to tell the truth and be done with it .lying is just a waste of time .the truth will come out eventually and i don't know about you but i'd rather it come out on my terms

castration of an icon
my brother drove in from california not to long ago to help my sister with her house .it was damaged during hurricane ike .but anyway he came this weekend to see us and i got to ride in his hummer .this being the first time i'd seen the inside of one of the damn things and as much as i hate to say it .it wasn't to bad .it did seem like there was a lot of wasted room in it though and i'm still not convinced on its capabilities off road but at the very least it doesn't make me as sick as it had before .i of coarse wouldn't buy one .if i had the means and need for something of that size i'd go with the original
