christmas is coming

i know it's coming because i have heard it on it's way .it's a noisy bitch too .i think its the only holiday that you can actually hear on its way .thanksgiving doesn't even gobble .not even halloween with all the screaming kids is as noisy as christmas .black friday is when you hear it coming .its high pitched ringing standing out side of ever major store

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

well i am relieved .not because i just peed or took a huge .well anyway i'm relived because my brother is ok .for a while we had no idea where he was or if he was ok .he and our older brother live out in los angeles .the older brother curtis new stephen had gone to a friends house for thanksgiving and after all day friday of un-replied to text messages he called us friday night .he was worried and with good reason .curtis had called all of the friends he knew stephen was with and go out of it all that stephen had gone to a bar .with different friends then he went to spend thanksgiving with .the friends he went to the bar with said last time he saw stephen was walking up the street to hail a cab to go home .we called everyone .we called the cab company we knew stephen used .we called hospitals and the jails .curtis then went and filed a missing persons report with the LAPD .our poor mom worried out of her mind thinking the worst stayed up most of the night and woke up early today only getting about an hour of sleep .this morning i was woken up getting asked how much i thought stephen weighed .so anyway at about 1:30pm my mom told me to look for flights to LA because if curtis didn't find stephen in his apartment (which he was let in by the land lord) she was fling out there .curtis did pound on the door at the apartment before he filled the missing persons report .but we had no idea if he was in there passed out .so i find a flight one way from houston to LAX and it wasn't cheap .$505 total one way .it got to about 3pm and she had me go ahead and by the ticket and she was packing because curtis found stephen's apartment empty .i bought the ticket and not 20 minutes later did curtis call saying stephen had called his home phone and left a message telling him the address where he was. apparently what happened was when stephen did get a cab he decided not to go home but instead to go to a couple of other friends house and hang out and just relax for his long weekend .his cell phone died and he had no idea everyone was looking for him .luckily continental airlines let us cancel the ticket and refund our money .if i had bought from NWA i'm not so sure would have let me due to the fact they suck major ass .future blog on that so stay tuned?

so this is black friday?

i had never heard of black friday until about three years ago .and when i did i thought it sounded rather ominous .but it turns out that its called black friday due to the fact it puts stores "in the black" for the year .thats a big statement too .just think about how much business a store has to do to be put in the black for an entire year one just one day .that is a whole lot of revenue generated in just one day .and the fact that the items all the people are on sale i think only adds to the amazement of it all .but i know it was a good day for the economy

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

i'm guilty of it too but i really hate pissers and moaners about times past and opportunities wasted .and i'm sure we all know at least one person who's a chronic moaner .or pisser if you prefer .anyway i really don't get why someone would want to be so focused on something they have no way of changing .all you can do is make note of the past in order to change how you let the future (that you are able to control) play out its easy to say what if this or what if that but at the end it is pointless .i also hate when something happens to me and someone else says "i wish that would have happened to me" and of coarse its easy to say what you would have done when you know how it has already played out .and that brings to mind a great joke

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

i really hate it when i'm told i must do something .well depending on what it is of coarse like if i were told i had to do something i said i was going to do then its not a big deal but when i get told "hey, come help me move this" .that's a little annoying .whats worse is when my dad says "i need you to come help me" and i'll ask "doing what" and if he knows its something pointless he give me the "i need it done. so you'll come help me right?" not asking me but more demanding me .and i have to say just him doing that makes me not want to help him what so ever .now if he were to just ask me (nicely) to go and help him then i'd be more willing to help him

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

screwed yet again by sleep

well i knew when i was brought pop tarts in bed that i was going to watching one of the boys today .i guess my mom bringing me the tarts is her way of making up for it or something .but anyway my youngest nephew was running fever so he couldn't go to the sitter .so as i ate my pop tarts i was trying to figure out how i was going to watch him later that afternoon and cut my dogs hair .which i of coarse dread doing but it has to be done .anyway i finished my pop tarts and soon feel back to sleep only to be woken up multiple times by my father just being noisy .which i have to say really pisses me off because he expects us to "keep it down" while he takes his noon nap yet if i'm still asleep in the morning he has no problem making all the ruckus he can .but i digress .its a little before noon and my dad and nephew come in the living room and have some sort of contraption making all kinds of noise without any disregard for my peace and quiet .then my dad comes in here and tells me hes going to take his precious nap and that i'm to watch the kid .my nephew makes his way in here and he winds up with his pillow and blanket on my bed and lays down as do i and we both fall back to sleep

another thought on procrastination

i was wondering what the past of procrastination is .well from an evolutionary standpoint .and a thought i had whilst cleaning the tub after having bathed my dog .that .perhaps it has to do with waiting for the right moment .either while hunting or possibly during a fight .anyway my thought was that waiting for the right moment to do whatever might have caused us to like the feeling of doing something at the last minute was some sort of a pleasure

please stop crying

if i'm like most men (and i'm pretty sure i am) you have no idea what to say or do when a woman starts crying .if its your girlfriend or wife its worse .well if you care about her its worse .i'm not sure why but i think its against the code of lady like behavior to tell a man why it is they're crying .i would swear its an auto response mechanism that they say "it's nothing i'm fine" .but we know they're not fine .they're the furthest thing from fine .and if you say "oh ok" or anything like that and not try to console them you might as well hang yourself .or at least hang your balls on hook because shes going to let into you .might not be right then .might not be that month .but you're going to get it and you will not win

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

here’s a homework assignment for you .i want you to take note of the first word you say when you call a business .i bet that word is “yes” .why is that though .when someone answers your call and you says something to the effect of “hello this is mark how my i help you?” or “thanks for calling your local family bank how my i direct your call?” that certainly doesn’t sound like a yes or no question to me .yet i know i have said “yes” to those people who answered the phone

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

yeah its usually just an expression we say or most likely yell in anger but never something you think you'll actually do .at least not on purpose .i'm sure i've lost you already so i guess i'll explain .yesterday my dad had gone somewhere and when he got back he opened the front door and yelled "hey kids yall wanna see a dove up close" calling to my nephews .and then to me "hey aaron come look at this bird under our mail box" .our mail box is set in front of our window so the bird was on the window seal .as i walked out i turned and looked at it and it was just sitting there .shaking

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

i feel like crap

if you've read some of my blogs you should know i have chronic fatigue syndrome and that i sleep a lot .not only that but i hate that i sleep a lot .yesterday i slept all day .well not all day but i might as well have .i woke up yesterday around 12:30pm .and stayed awake for a little while .but felt sleep calling me back so i gave in and went around 2:30pm and stayed asleep for the rest of the day and then the rest of the night .that's 8 hours of sleep till 12:30pm and then another 18 hours of sleep till i woke up this morning .i hate it .i know when i sleep this much i feel like crap when i finally do get up .i really hate it .and to make it worse people i know still think i fake it .how in the hell would anyone fake 26 hours of almost straight sleep? i don't know anyone who could .but yet people in my own family think i can control it .why the hell would i even want to sleep so much if i was acting? what on earth would i have to gain in life by only sleeping it away? not only that but it kinda hurts to think that the people who love you unconditionally don't believe you have this sleep problem .i don't know .its a pain in the ass having chronic fatigue syndrome is a pain in the ass .its really no wonder i'm on antidepressants only doing enough to keep me from totally breaking down

i wanna see a movie

i really do .the movie i'd like to go see is the newest james bond film .quantum of solace .it looks so bad ass and in my opinion daniel craig brings intensity to the james bond role i think hes been laking .though i do miss the gadgets .they had some in casino royal but not as many of the old movies but i guess its the trade off that has to be paid .anyway i'd like to see the new bond film quantum of solace but i'm not going to go for two reasons .the first one being that i told my girlfriend i wanted to see it with her .and i honestly do .the second reason is that i can't go to a movie theatre all by myself .that's lame .plus am i suppose to ask "who is that guy again?" to the stranger sitting next to me? .yes i have a horrible memory .i really don't know why i don't like watching certain movies by myself but i don't .i'll wait to watch some movies with someone else no matter how badly i want to see the movie .that kinda frustrates me .i told my girlfriend i'd watch that movie pineapple express with her too .that one is really hard not to watch without her its like a borderline movie to me i guess i want to watch it with her yet i would watch it by myself if i hadn't promised her i'd wait to see it with her .but i love james bond movies .and i really would like to see the latest one cause like i said daniel craig is awesome as bond not to mention yet again how i love bond films

space bags

i bought some before my trip to michigan in late september .three to be precise .my intent was to get some that you didn't need the vacuum to void the bag of air .well they and by they i mean academy didn't have any of that kind .i had had that kind before .and it worked great for me when i would go on trips as i like to bring my own pillow and blanket to sleep with .you would put the contents in the bag .seal the top and then roll it up to squeeze out the air .and it worked great .it would allow me to pack more clothes with the saved space from the compacted pillow and blanket .well over time and many many uses of the bag it developed a hole or two and of coarse no longer held the vacuum so i was back to packing a couple less shirts and pairs of pants .but i went to academy hoping to find some more of them to save room in my suitcase .well i didn't find any but i did find some made for sleeping bags .i took one out to see just how big it was and it seemed like it'd easily hold my pillow and blanket .not only that but it was on sale .so i bought it and the only two others there to store bulky blankets and stuff here at my house .well it turned out i didn't use them for my trip to michigan because i wasn't sure if i'd have a vacuum cleaner to use to repack for my return flight .so the three bags sat in their box in the bag from academy .that is until today .last night i decided to wash my thick winter blanket and then i was going to store it in one of these space bags to keep it clean between uses .well it turns out that all three bags do not hold the vacuum they're suppose to .so it should be needless to say but i'm go ahead and say it anyway .i'm pretty pissed off

weather

i really hate it and i'll be happy when we gain control over it .and yes there are plenty of people working on ways to control the weather .but until thin i guess we all have to just deal with it .but boy howdy does it irritate me .i know you all know what i mean too .you want to do something that you've been planing on doing for a while and the day finally comes and it rains .or its to cold or if you wanted to fly a kite the air is as still as a nuns bed .and all we can do is deal

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

why do people thing gun control works? if a criminal wants a gun they're going to get one. so why would you want to unarm the law abiding citizens? .i mean if a criminal comes at you with a gun and the government has taken your gun away .what are you suppose to do? roll over? well that's not the amreican way .the american way is to grab life by the balls .if someone hassles you .you don't turn tail .you stand your ground and fight for what you believe in

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

it really aggravates me that people treat stop signs as if they are yield signs .or as if they aren't even there at all .i was taught and i'm sure they were as well that when you come to a stop sign you are suppose to wait a full two seconds before going .now i can see how some people don't want to wait two second .even though its not a long time to wait .but i see people all the time rolling up to a stop sign .slowing down some and then going .i was going across town not to long ago and i can to a a four way stop at the same time as another woman .now by law i had the right of way as i was on the right of her .i came to a complete stop .the woman did not ,only slowing down and then going in front of me .that irritated me .then a few days after that .i was riding with my dad .we stopped at a stop sign and then started to go threw and i looked to my right and there's a truck bumper coming right at me .i don't know if my dad didn't stop fully or the guy in the truck didn't but i was shocked .the man came within feet of hitting us and i'm not to sure he even put on his breaks

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

why in the hell do we procrastinate? i mean what in the past of our evolution contributes this trait .it certainly doesn't give us an edge for survival .nor does it allow us to spread our seed .procrastination i think is best compared to masturbation .its good in the beginning but in the end you realise you're really just fucking yourself .so then why do we it? why are we compelled to wait till the absolute last minute to complete a task rather then do it and be done?

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

there don't seem to be any products that still have the instant winner under the cap prize give aways any more .sure they say they have instant winner contest and they is stuff printed under the cap but its not "we're sorry you're not an instant winner please try again" or "you've won" instead its always something to the effect of "if you would like to see if you are an instant winner please long on to our website and enter this code HUJMA8778JU" how the hell is that considered an instant prize? .that's just more work and if you ask me a pain in the ass .not only must you go to their website to find out if you have won .but before you can even enter the code to see you have to create an account with them .giving them your name and e-mail so they can do god knows what with

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?

you think i'd be talking about a toy gun or violent video game but i'm not .i'm talking about a simple power wheels 4 wheeler .my two nephews can not seem to share it and go into a tantrum if they are told they can't ride it for any reason .i wish my dad hadn't brought it for them cause i can only see it being more trouble .and of coarse my dad isn't having to deal with it .so when my nephews are suppose to be out in the yard sharing it they do nothing but fight .then one of them ends up crying .and all i get out of it is frustrated .i hate trying to keep the peace .i really do .i wish we could just do like rodney king requested "can't we all just get along?" .its a nice sentiment but i don't think its possible .as long as there is more then one being capable of independent thought peace on earth will never be

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

that was the cry of thousands of homosexuals that gathered in los angeles a few days ago .and i don't blame them .after california passed the proposition 8 to ban gay marriage .so they decided to gather and show their feelings .first gathering at the mormon temple in west hollywood and as the crowd grew they began to wander around causing the closures of multiple highway off ramp closures

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

why the hell is it when someone asks you to do something they know you don't want to do they end up asking you so damn much you really don't want to do it .my dad claims to have vacuumed the kitchen and den last night and that it took him almost three hours .what in the hell is he smoking .unless you move at a snails pace it wouldn't take you three hours .not even if he mopped the floors and moved all the furniture like he says he did would it take you that long .we don't live in a furniture store .and the floors weren't that dirty

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

you hear a lot now a days how people are wanting equal standards for different races .i'm all for it .just because you have different color skin doesn't mean you should be treated better or worse then anyone else .Dr. king spoke of that .and rosa parks sat down for that .although i think she was motivated by being tired rather then having change on her mind .but regardless of what her intents were she is now a symbol of the fight for equal rights

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

i hate being lied to .i mean i really hate being lied too .it makes more pissed off then just about anything else .because not only does it make whatever you're telling me worse by prolonging the truth .it also lets me know you have absolutely no respect for me .and that pisses me off .especially if i had considered you a friend

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

if you take it .put it back

recently i had sand the uncured paint on the new table i'm making .when sanding uncured paint you tend to go threw a lot of sand paper because the paint clogs it up .it was good thing i had some extra i took off the big spool or i wouldn't have had enough to finish sanding .in fact i had just enough to finish .and i would have gotten it sanded faster if i had more but i couldn't find it due to my dad having moved it .he claims he moved it so it wouldn't get damaged from the moister .yet the place in his workshop i got it was under a leak and most of the paper in the draw was already ruined so i don't understand how it being in a cabinet would have done it more damage .but anyway he moved it and went on to tell me two possible places he put it .i looked in both places and didn't find it in either .and what pisses me off more is that i spent 20 minutes looking for it and didn't even find it .if i would have just kept sanding i would have gotten it finished in that 20 minutes .if the damn paper was were it was suppose to be it would have only taken me 5 minutes .it just really pisses me off when things have a place and people use them and then don't return whatever it is to the place its suppose to be

castration of an icon

its been years now since the GM corporation has bought the civilian rights of the hummer from the american motors company .i've hated it since the H2 came out too .the took the balls off of the hummer and turned it into a wounded horse .not only was it made less rugged but also in my opinion ugly .i believe they took away the hummers capabilities as well .the thought of what they have done to the military work horse turns my stomach .i was not to happy to learn about a year ago that my oldest brother had bought one

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

teaching a kid to ride a bike

this time i'm not the frustrated one .but my youngest nephew is .hes a great kid but recently hes been flipping switches .going from happy to mad as hell in a split second .so trying to teach him to ride a bike is to say the least is interesting .his older brother has managed to learn to ride rather quickly and is doing well .hes a little scared of falling still so hes not wanting to go to fast yet .but i know he'll be tearing it up before to long .but back to his younger brother .i'm running along side him holding the seat to keep him steady .and when we're going at a good speed and i feel him balanced i let go .he rode for probably 20-30 feet doing great then he hiccuped of something and fell .he went from being happy as hell to mad as hell in a split second yelling "why did you let go you stupid aaron?" i laughed which i'm sure he didn't like but oh well .so he finally calmed down and we got him some knee and elbow pads (he already had on his helmet) and we tried it again .i'm running along side him still holding his seat and he steadies himself .so i let go still running along side him ready to grab him if i need to .i told him i had let go which probably wasn't the best thing cause he looked back to see if i was telling the truth and he became unstable and started to fall so i grabbed his seat and handle bars and managed to stop him from falling only to almost make myself fall .but after that he was happy and we turned around and were going to try again .we were doing good and i'm still at his side and i let go and for reasons only known to him he slams on the brakes i run past him and he falls .and of coarse gets mad at me
