Complaint Central

So years ago I started this here blog.  Like in 2004.  Somewhere around 2008 a change in work venue prohibited my right to free speech - while I was serving Mr. Big.  This isn't to say that I lost my right to free speech, Lord no.  This meant that if I wanted to post something here it would be on my time and not the man's time.  So be it.  But since I had an hour drive to and from work I would frequently have calmed down or been pissed about something else by the time I got home and the thought of sitting back down in front of a monitor and spewing about this rock head or that moron politician was, well it wasn't gonna happen.  And so for 10 years I've kept the genie in the bottle.  But today that's all about to change. 

Now, this isn't to say that with age I've mellowed.  No friends and neighbors if anything I am spitting angry more now than ever.  So much shit has happened in the last decade that I have plenty - or should I say a plethora of issues to get down on paper here.

So lest I digress I shall start off with a little something that happened recently.   For it is this very complaint I have with people that gave cause to bring me back to my little nest of rants and tirades. 

Courtesy and honesty.  That's what I'm gonna bitch about - it'll be quick and as I've said in the past pay attention as I'm known to move fast - and just for you newcomers I DO NOT contrary to popular belief have a John Madden scadoodle thingy so there will be no Xs and Os for you to follow.  This also is not a cheap take off of one of my favorite songs regarding a lady named Alice, a restaurant, a festive meal, and a bunch of trash....in which the narrator who's name would be Arlo talks about 8x10 color glossy prints with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back.  No none of that fuckery will be used here.  This as always will be just me here complaining and pointing out the absolutely psychotic behavior of of our ridiculous society.

Now then, oh wait.  I've made my point already and no one even got it.  Anyone?  Raise your hands if you can tell me what I just said between the lines.  Anyone?  Hello?  Is this thing on?  thought not.

So be courteous and honest.  If you need to interact with one another do so in courteous and honest fashion.  Be honest, really, just be honest.  If you want to buy something from someone and throw out an offer - make sure the offer is REAL.  Don't bait someone by making an offer you can't honor should your offer be accepted.  And be courteous.  If you're amidst a business transaction or sending in a RFP be courteous irrespective of the outcome.  Should you not get the job or have your offer accepted so be it, but be courteous.  Thank the other party - acknowledge the other party - say something to the other person - damn.  And if your offer has been accepted and you find you can't pony up and pay the bill or pay for the service or product then acknowledge this.  Send a frickin` email for crissakes and tell the cat, hey man, I effed up and like i can't pay for your website or your artwork, or that really cool widget you made. 

There's really only a handful of general qualities that we each should posses and practice - the rest is us being, well you know - YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL - JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!!  I always loved that saying.  No seriously we all have the right to pretty much do as we please so long as we're not intruding on others.  We should all be more thoughtful of this rock we're on but the wheels are already in motion and were started well before the likes of us.  We aint got shit over mother nature and her pal God.   Don't even point a flashlight at that idea - shitasses claiming humans are smart enough to change the course of nature in the big picture.  pompous asses. 
Be cool to everyone - like Bill and Ted said, be excellent to each other.  Quit the bullshitting when it starts to become your identity - really, just stop.  If you can't handle your liquor then find another vice that doesn't accentuate your assholeness.   Talk to people.  If you ask someone a question they should answer.  And if their answer requires more communication on your part then communicate!

This blog is mine.  It's content is mine.  It is not available for transfer, never was, never will be.  Period.

right now there are so many people using credit to live on. people are using credit cards to make purchases for things they used to pay cash for - groceries comes to mind first. they're using credit to pay for credit too. credit cards to pay for insurance, and for utilities. eventually when there's no more credit left and the accounts are closed the person will file for bankruptcy. so all these bills paid with credit and the credit never repaid.

Ok here's the secret code -
What would Lee Iaccoca do??
When Dodge/Chrysler was falling apart or shall we say -













What did Lee do?
Why he got to work, that's what he did!
Does anyone remember the military and government being fleeted out with that real cute Reliant and Reliant K? You know, the K cars?

That was a time when the stupid government got smart and did something pro-active to salvage a very important part of industry that keeps our nation afloat.
The don't do shit now. They stand by and watch the baby sinking in the pool and say, oh gee I don't think it's going to live, should we intervene? Oh no, let's not do that. Let's just throw a fucking lifering out there and see what happens. The baby is already down for the second time and not getting a push up to the surface, no one there helping it learn to swim on it's own and mature again. No let's throw a ring out there, a hand out. If it grabs on fine if not, oh well we tried but tough luck.

See the only way we're going to stop this continual implosion is through manufacturing and export. Until we again become self sufficient we going to continue this downward spiral.
We make NOTHING in the US. All we do here is consume and get fat. We are NOT the richest nation in the world. We here in the USA are just a bunch fat lazy self centered pricks.

Self centered is the root of all evil and certainly one of the biggest problems in this country. It's all me me me me me me. Old Fat Bastard.

WWLID?????

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

Why is it that gun and ammunition sales have gone up almost 50% in the ten days after the election?
Why is it that once was an instant background check to purchase a firearm now takes days and days?

I've been saying this for a year now and you assholes all laughed.

Johnny, get yer guns!!!


How about this - instead of granting all this money to all of these businesses to bail them out because of THEIR poor management tactics which end up costing the consumer, just forgive income tax for two years.

You have no clue what we're headed for

You know, nine years ago there was a lot going on in the news. Nine years ago we were just a few weeks away from Doomsday! From Armegeddon. From the big bang all over again.
Nine years ago people were scrambling to the supply stores spending TONS on solar products, freeze-dried dehydrated nicfitdogeatdogmultibysubstaproducts, gas cans and kerosene heaters (Oh, by the way when the power "grids" didn't fail why did we stop looking for alternative fuel sources back then, hmmm?).
It was late 1999 and in just a couple of short weeks life as we knew it would change for the majority of the earth's population.
But besides inflated consumer spending which lead to a false sense of security in the credit world and 9 years later we rescind - nothing happened. The world didn't end, and Al Albert Arnold AlGore Juniors internet didn't fail.

So what's all this brew ha ha???

It's this - nothing is going to happen. The power isn't going to stop, the fuel won't triple or get cut in half. There won't be any riots. No one will get shot or killed and Santa Claus isn't going to stop coming. Hell isn't going to freeze over and my dad isn't going to come back from the dead. No, I'm afraid nothing is going to happen. Some people are gonna be really happy and some are not. So people will misunderstand to think this is a hand out and some will think it's a strike down.

Not a lot of folks are going to be looking for a leg up though. That seems to be the problem with the country nowadays. Everyone wants a freeby - no one wants to work for anything.
