Wanted to try this out. Go go Verizon!

I caused a cascade of stupid this morning.  I will be hiding out in my office.

Our little girl Misha who just turned 16 a couple of weeks ago, fell about 4 times last night right in a row.  It was sad to watch.  Too bad those books about dogs and how to take care of them never mention this stuff.  Her back legs are so weak that you can see them tremble under her weight.  It breaks my heart to see a once proud animal needing to rely on us to pick her up.

Well, how different is it really when we rely on her to pick us up?

Those folks are pretty minor compared to the Incompetent Adulterer, but I digress:

Exhibit B: Folks who repeatedly and purposefully call those folks rude enough to tell them to "Go back to their own country" racists.  That just puts me in a spin.  Two white people bitching at each other about their nationalities are not having a racial dispute, arrrrgh!  What just makes me punch my monitor is that this comes from a relatively well educated person who knows the damned difference!  (hint: the only people who should be stupid on purpose are retarded ignoramuses like myself)  I still have much love for Exhibit B because this blogger picked up and moved to another country.  She considers herself an ex-pat and tries to integrate with the new place.  I think that's pretty cool.  Don't mistake rudeness for racism though.

Exhibit C: These folks aren't actually bloggers, but they are the cretins on the metro who are such wastes of humanity that if I wrote about them everytime I was inspired, people would think I was some crazy metro-nazi.  (I don't really care what other people think, but I sometimes come back and read what I wrote and I think "man, what an asshole!" often enough.)

So all of these folks combined (exhibits A-C) made me so damned cranky that I didn't feel like spreading it around.  Now that I can laugh at it, it's a lot better.

Listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller and I am not ashamed!

damn it

I haven't posted in so long because almost everything I have been inspired to write was a huge rebuttal of some absolute nonsense that some other blogger has written.  Imagine that almost every word that I am typing has some really bad obscenity between it and the next.  That is the level of vitrol I feel towards most of these *ahem* people.

First, we have exhibit A.  A is a middle aged guy who is so emo that I think this is the first time I've wanted to drop a raw steak down a stranger's pants and turn my dog loose on him.  A starts out really depressed that his wife won't sleep with him.  Then he decides he's going to cheat on her.  Well, according to him, she's not trying at all to work it out either, so you kind of feel sorry for him.  Anyway, after a while it becomes a journal of incessant complaining about his failures with all of these "children" he's trying to hook up with... (I don't mean that he's a pedophile these girls are technically women, but they really haven't fully made their steps into adulthood and this guy is old enough to be their dad.  It isn't disgusting, just kind of pathetic that he isn't seeking someone to relate to as an equal.  Just looking to satisfy a physical urge is one thing, but then crying about how these "relationships" *cough* are too "painful.")  You feel like screaming at him, but realize how pointless it is.

I guess the long and short of what I was trying to say is that:

Once again you've reminded us that we've only traded one set of elitists for another.

No, I don't think of gangsta rap as one of the last forms of raging against the establishment because, like everyone else, it's the establishment, too.  (Not just because it is "accepted" but because it is not only a norm, but these folks are the ones in charge, too.  That is just what we're becoming, it is no longer an image.)

The headache is real because when you rage against the machine, my far off friend, you still lose.  They let you think you're making your mark, but you're just making it worse.

I still love you Duran Duran. ;)

What television show stands the test of time?

Cops.

I don't enjoy it, but there it is.  If you stay current with Cops and The Simpsons, you know what is going on in America if you care.

This guy makes my head hurt.  He talks about being a citizen of the world, the dangers of nationalism, empathy...

Oh, the humanity!

He asked if people who aren't married should be afforded legal protection of their assets and such...  My first thought was "Why should doing the right thing be something that is legislated?"  Have we gone so far that most of us can't be good unless something/someone makes us?  That is even more pathetic than the fact that we are all "selfish gits."  (The word 'git' makes me giggle because I imagine the vehmence that the person who says it would be using.)

Why is it so hard to be a good person?

Are we wired that way?

Should we rise above these impulses to be cruel or selfish?

Gah... now my head really hurts.
