I’ve been gone from blog scene the last few weeks, because I’ve had some issues with a pinched nerve in my neck…I’m not necessarily back, but I’ve got to mention that WE, as a people need to look for our own answers!

Politician’s are elected to represent their contingents; when you think about it, it’s relatively a pretty simple job! You listen to the people and you act accordingly in their favor. Yet, politician’s make more money than the people they represent and MOST often represent them POORLY!

We like to think that we vote for someone and they have a good heart and moral values etc etc. What happens when they’re faced with peer pressure and realize that in order to keep their cushy jobs they need to “play the game”? We suffer the repercussions…that’s what happens.

There is a world of information right at our fingertips, a world that is not yet censored and completely controlled..yet most of us will sit and read stupid chain emails or play computer games or worse devote hours to porn and WON’T take the time to inform and educate ourselves in matters of importance. More people know about John Travolta’s scandal, Jennifer Lopez’ love life and Christina Aguilera’s wardrobe, than what’s going on right now in this country regarding politics, law and policy; policy that affects YOU and ME!

We are running blindfolded down a long hall and quickly approaching a wall…it’s just common sense to know that running without eyes is dangerous! WAKE UP!! Open your eyes and inform yourself. You may be shocked at what you learn.

Ok…this was submitted by a new poster and I hope to GOD He posts again and again…I’m including this, as written..So once again if you can’t stand a bad word or two….

 

“The Job Hunt Chronicles”

 

So I’m looking for a gig, yes the market is tough. But I seem to be running into unusual things. It’s not that its dry, it’s that it’s full ….of nutty people. I get courted by a head hunter to have a phone interview for a position with a reputable large company. The HH (headhunter) preps me and recommends I buy this book to further prep. She even tells me that this hiring manager is a little eccentric and I should not use my headset or type to take notes. Ok I understand, could be considered rude. Honestly I thought I was going to be on the tonight show promoting a movie or something. I’m not complaining here, thanks for the effort and thoroughness but if you had researched the position I could have saved us both some time.

So on with the story…

I get the call and the connection is terrible, because HE is using a bad headset. So it’s cutting in and out abruptly and his keyboard is clacking away. My headset works great but okay whatever, do as I say not as I do. After the introductions he says well let me tell you a little something about the company “my shpeel “ he calls it. It’s a sales pitch for the company’s service, literally what you would say on a cold call to a customer. “Would you be interested?” He laughs and onward we go down this I “must be polite or must I?” route. He starts asking me a barrage of questions, I answer. He starts again rewording the same questions. I finally reply “are you trying to trip me up? Catch me out so to speak?” he laughs and says “no, I just want to make sure your not lying”

 

Ok so at this point A: The jobs not a fit anyway B: He hasn’t taken this seriously from the get go and C: He’s calling me a liar. Ok I think to myself basta, enough prepare to feel the full on brunt of the Lu sarcasm army. You can’t hang with this…

I say “look, I don’t know exactly what it is you’re looking for in expertise or demeanor but I…”

Hiring Manager: What do you mean by “demeanor”?

Me: Yeah you have busting my balls since you got on the phone and I have had to hold back. What kind of rinky dink operation are you guys running over there? You are a manager correct?

Hiring Manager: Hahahah yeah I’m a little like that, sarcastic. What would you have said had you held not held back? Would you get me fired if you worked here?

Me: Nah, you wouldn’t need my help with that.

Hiring Manager: hahaha

Me: Yup sometimes I just have to pour myself a glass of scotch and let it go.

Hiring Manager: You drink scotch too? What kind do you like?

Me: Dalwhinnie is my favorite but I like Macallan and Glenmorangie as well.

Hiring Manager: (silence…) Dahhhll ? Is that peaty?

Me: You don’t drink scotch do you?

Hiring Manager:  Hahaha I guess not really.

Then I hear the distinct sound of a fire alarm in the background.  Well if that isn’t the universe giving me the big NO on this one I don’t know what is.

Hiring Manager: um I have to evacuate, the fire alarm is going off. I would like to call you back, I have more questions to ask you if that’s ok?

Me: yeah sure why not, im here.

We hang up and no I didn’t get a call back. Let’s face it; TAO said “nah, not for you brother”. Not for you…

The next day the recruiter calls with the news that I didn’t get the job but he really liked me and I would be the guy to hang out with but…

She sounded like she felt bad, genuinely. But seriously, headhunters love to send you into battle. Sometimes it’s okay to say “No, nah, fuck no” Not in any particular order, just say it and instantly earn self worth.

Ever feel that way? Like something is just not right in the world? We all know the saying that people love you when you’re up…you’ll always have friends when you’ve got money…but really they’re not your friends. Well people love you when you’re down and out too! It’s not because their friendship is any more real, they’re just as fake…they just feel better about themselves when they see you down.

Life is full of disappointments and that’s just the way it is, right? Well, what happens when you’ve had enough? What happens when you say FUCK YOU! When you’re sick and tired of people you deal with and their bullshit?

It’s true, you can’t get people to care about things…they either do or they don’t, but you can choose to stick around, you can choose to beat a dead horse, you can choose to be taken for granted and taken advantage of…or you can tell everyone to FUCK OFF!

This year has been a year of predictions…predictions about endings and possibly new beginnings…well….things are ending, that’s for sure. Perhaps patience is at the top of that list…perhaps it’s friendships, or jobs or whatever…

My point here is, if you’re frustrated, CHANGE it or END it!  I think that’s the best advice I can give… So like Bowie said….Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes!

Venting feels good, but so does getting drunk sometimes…and when you’re all done and sober and vented out….you’re still in the same place…Tripping Through The Twilight Zone!

Can you dismember when?

In the news- The L.A. Times to be exact there was a story published about US Troops posing with dismembered insurgents…you can see a couple of pics and read the full story at this link. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-afghan-photos-20120418,0,6471010,full.story

What is it about a human being that would find some fascinating satisfaction in doing something like this, is beyond me. But the fact that the Army is upset about it is also something I’m not sure I comprehend. The Army has a stringent application process…they won’t take just anyone, but yet they keep taking weirdos, killers and rapists among the decent people trying to serve their country. Shouldn’t it be that every soldier has the potential to rise through the ranks and become an officer? Can you imagine the individuals in the pictures…getting by with doing this sort of thing and then rising through the ranks? WTF?

I’ve met dozens upon dozens of guys who were smart and true leaders with moral character, but who had made some bad choices and were no longer eligible to serve our country…and yet, you’ve got individuals doing this? My tax money goes to this? The army is teaching how to kill and how to survive but they seem to be falling short instilling values.

This is sad and pathetic. The US Army is better than this! These individuals are a disgrace to the uniform and this behavior should not be tolerated. The Army needs to revisit their selection process and clean house.

As you can guess from the subject line of this post; I’m going to speak on friends.

We’ve all seen the funny emails about how friends will be there for you through thick and thin, the inspirational messages of hope from caring friends…the sayings about how friends are the family you get to pick, etc etc.

I want to really discuss friendships and friends for a moment. I happen to have a handful of very good, dear, close friends…people I love and people who I know love me. But I’ve got to say, friends are FUNNY sometimes…not ha ha funny…I mean, they are, or can be ha ha funny…but I’m talking more like queer funny…and I don’t mean queer as in gay and I don’t mean gay as in homosexual…I mean queer as in strange, not gay as in happy…anyway…

Friends, true friends will always be understanding when you take them for granted and you will, if they’re your true friends. However, they will also take you for granted. It’s just the nature of the game.

They can be very supportive and or a pain in the ass, all at once. They are the first to communicate poorly, but blame you for not understanding them. They can be brash, bold and overly familiar…but then again, isn’t that what friends are for?  They can be the last person you want to interact with, but miss the most, the moment you don’t interact. They can be the type of person that you’re absolutely tired of dealing with, until you see them and give them a hug…or hear their voice or see them smile…then you realize; yeah…I love this person.

I love my friends…I hope to GOD they know that. I may not always show it…I’m not a very showy person, but that’s what makes me who I am. Right now, I’m missing several of them…I can only hope they miss me too!

Trayvon Martin Killing

Okay…so here we are imbedded in a very controversial subject. What’s more, there’s controversy surrounding the controversy. We’ve got Spike Lee tweeting out some elderly couple’s address in Florida stating that it’s the address of George Zimmerman (I’m upset about this one because I like Spike.) We’ve got the NEW Black Panther Party Party offering a bounty for Zimmerman- The New Panthers are NOT affiliated or associated with the Original Black Panther Party (So please don’t jump on the band wagon of Panther haters because of this. I support what Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seal started and the reasons why they did it,) We’ve got Jesse Jackson “denouncing” the New Panther’s bounty and behavior…( I use the term denouncing loosely here because He really doesn’t denounce anything during that interview, he shifts focus towards a police cover up of the facts.) We’ve got the President speaking about the case stating “If i had a son he’d look like Trayvon.” (Would he have made that statement if it wasn’t an election year?)

Where am I going with this? Here’s the thing…I’m not even sure what to speak about here…this WHOLE situation is really FUBAR! I don’t know the ins and outs of the Florida Stand your ground Law… So I can’t comment on that. I also wasn’t there that night so I can’t comment on the events or the facts…I CAN comment on the police report which stated Zimmerman was assaulted and acted in self-defense. I CAN comment on the media posting and circulating a much younger picture of Trayvon. I CAN comment on the fact that If George Zimmerman wanted to senselessly shoot this young man, he certainly didn’t need to get close enough to him to get into a scuffle; It’s a GUN, not a knife…10, 20 even 30 feet would’ve been close enough to shoot him if this was a racially motivated slaying…if Zimmerman was a really good shot maybe even farther. Common sense along with hints and allegations all tell me there’s MORE to the story than what’s been said.

At 17 I would’ve and could’ve swung on someone who was following me. I was big enough and strong enough to knock someone out, break a nose or a jaw and do some damage. Perhaps Trayvon was in fear of his safety and he “stood HIS ground”. Perhaps he was angered, like many young men full of testosterone at that age get and lost his temper and did something he shouldn’t have…perhaps Zimmerman is a self righteous nut but perhaps not. Maybe it was something that escalated way beyond what it should have and the result was the death of a young man and another young man’s life ruined.

What we can say for sure is that the media and people involved who shouldn’t be, i.e. Spike Lee and Justin Beiber? Really? What does this have to do with them…especially Spike…very irresponsible…definitely NOT doing the right thing Spike.

The media has blown this up with heavy bias by simply circulating the photo of a younger Trayvon and a photo of Zimmerman that resembles a mug shot!

I can say that Illinois Democrat Bobby Rush ( a former Illinois Black Panther Party Member) wearing a hoodie in Congress and getting booted out is not a responsible thing to do either. Making a statement? Sure! The right statement? I don’t think so…then again, There’s footage of Bobby Rush in the late 60′s saying fuck the pigs and fuck the man! Now he IS the man…being a politician and becoming part OF the system he was fighting against back in the day.

As a child in school I learned all about addition, subtraction and multiplication before I learned about DIVISION…but DIVISION is all we are seeing right now…we see the media DIVIDING this nation and its citizens…

What happened to the Martin and Zimmerman families is very sad…sad for both…George Zimmerman has to live with this on his conscious for the rest of his life…

But now I’m gonna mention something else….what about all the Black kids and Hispanic kids that get killed EVERYDAY in the ghettos of large city USA? Where’s the protestors and justice seekers for them? Don’t believe the hype people…this case is no different than hundreds of others…yet THIS one has a bunch of people up in arms, this one is stirring up a hornet’s nest, this one is turning the burner on high and the pressure cooker called American Society is about to burst wide open…all because the Media is being irresponsible and fueling and stoking fires when they should report the facts unbiasedly.

Should Zimmerman be arrested? I don’t know. I don’t have the facts….remember the facts determine whether or not he acted in accordance with the LAW…NOT whether or not he shot this kid. It’s whether or not he was justified and justified or not, he STILL has to live with the fact that he’s taken a life. At this point I don’t think it will matter, the court of public opinion is already condemning this man…but if the Grand Jury is involved, we SHOULD wait and see. This is what we’d call due diligence of the law.

The media is making THAT very difficult. I urge you all to stop, inform yourselves…question EVERYTHING and urge others to do the same. We must act rationally or we will implode.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end…..

If you don’t know this song…well, that’s unfortunate because it’s the first thing that came to mind when I read this.

Executive Order or Executive Horror?

If I’m going to live in “Cuba” I might as well live in Cuba!

 

Thinking back…

I was recently talking to my best friend…and mentioned that my first concert was a Chuck Berry show back in the mid 70′s; that’s 1970′s for those who are wondering. It was quite by accident but nonetheless, I got to experience it. That brought back a flood of memories, okay, maybe just a babbling brook. But then I saw a video last night on the news about a 3 year old that was thrown out of an amusement park ride…she flew out and the whole thing was captured on video. (apparently she’s okay) Now THAT really brought back the memories…I remember feeling scared as a kid on rides that I shouldn’t have been on alone; at the park where I saw Chuck play!

The trip down memory lane wasn’t a bad one…but it took that shocking video to really trigger ALL the memories. Funny how the mind works.

So feel free to share your first concert experience…I was a kid and I’ve always remembered it, but now I could remember the sounds and smells, the bell bottoms and polyester; the atmosphere. …good times!

A friend of mine sent the following…I’d love to take the time to confirm some of these allegations; I sincerely don’t doubt what’s being said…I just want to know if anyone agrees with any of this and why. If anyone can cite the allegations and provide proof, please do so.

 

         AMERICA –“WAKE UP’- Remember Adolph Hitler

 

He did the same thing as Obama is doing right now. 

History can repeat it’s self.

Hitler did not have the mass media or the tools Osama Obama has.

 

There will be a shooting war in North America very soon.

Could 2012 be America ‘s Last Presidential Election?

by Michael Savage

I’ve asked this question to a number of people and most them respond

as if 

I were crazy for asking. They tell me that this is America, land of the

free and there will always be elections. I tell them we are no longer
the land of the free and if Obama gets re-elected in 2012, this just may be

America’s last election.   In the past three years, the Obama administration

has been very carefully crafting the nation for a political take over by his

Marxist regime and this isn’t just my opinion.

Popular radio talk show host Michael Savage

He is the son of Russian immigrants and is very familiar with Soviet and

European history.
Savage warned his listeners this week saying, “I have to tell you, if this man,

God forbid, is the next president of the United States, we’re going to be living

in something along the lines of – people say Europe. I don’t believe it’s going

to be 

like Europe – I think it will be closer to Chavez’s South American dictatorship.

“This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dangerous tyrannical administration in American history.

It’s not politics as usual. It’s not just Democrats versus Republicans. Obama has a long history

of being at odds with American values and with America itself and the core principles of this country.

They don’t want government-sponsored opinions. They only want government-sponsored ‘Pravda.’

That’s exactly what the government-media complex tells you on a daily basis – nothing but the

government-media complex party line. Pay attention. Your freedom may be at stake.”

Over the weekend, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told a small group of people

in an Iowa coffee house, “Barack Obama is not incompetent, ladies and gentleman. He knows exactly
what he’s doing and why he’s doing it. He sees America differently than you see America .

[Obama] has gone out of his way to divide this country in a way I haven’t seen since the Great Depression

when Franklin Roosevelt went around to divide his country. That’s his hero. What makes America great

[in Obama's mind is] the government takes money from somebody and gives it to somebody else.

No, that’s what makes America, France .”


With his control over the Executive and Judicial branches of the government, the stage is set for a complete
takeover of the government. Think about it. Since taking office, instead of helping the economy, Obama has

purposely escalated the economic crisis by plunging the country into unprecedented debt. He has a number

of programs that are designed to go into effect in January 2013, just in time for his second term of office.

The economic burden and increased taxes on everyone will be enough to cause the final economic collapse

of the country.

As soon as that happens, Obama declares Martial Law and assumes dictatorial control of the nation.

The Department of Justice has already been subverting federal laws to strip us of a number of freedoms.

The Supreme Court and many of the other federal courts have been seeded with socialistic liberal judges

that will rule in Obama’s favor on virtually anything, thus ending constitutional rule and law.
He’s already changing the face of America ‘s military. Allowing homosexuals to openly serve along with changing

the retirement program is causing many conservative military leaders to resign commissions and leave the military.
Some Pentagon officials are also noting that an increase in the enlistment of radical Muslims into the US military

where they get all the training they need on weapons and defense systems.

We have no idea how many of them there are in the armed forces or in what positions they may hold.

Obama has been wielding executive powers this past year as if he were already a dictator.

When Congress is not doing his bidding, he simply bypasses them and used an executive order to accomplish it anyway.
This has set the stage for his disbandment of Congress. He would not be the first world leader to take control of a nation

and disband the legislative branch of government.
He has been effectively using the media to anesthetize the public to the dangers he poses.

Like a patient being prepped for surgery, people are numb to the changes and won’t have a clue what took place

until they wake up in recovery and realize that free America has been removed and replaced with a regime that may

parallel those of Stalin, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Chavez and Castro.
For the sake of our children and grandchildren, I earnestly pray that we are spared from what seems

a certain future and that Obama is overwhelmingly defeated in 2012. Otherwise, heaven help us.

PLEASE,PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESSES !!
OBAMA MUST BE DEFEATED IN 2012
