Music

Music is something that I am very passionate about, I love music. I love how memories get attached to certain songs and every time you hear that song it makes you happy or sad  or even mad. Music is very powerful. But when does music stop being relevant to you? Look at people who hold on to a certain era of music. We all know those people, hell we might even be those people. it reminds you of a time when life was good, you were popular, your Camaro was the coolest car in the parking lot and Motley Crue was the BEST BAND EVER!!! So does music now days suck or is it that we tie music now days to working, bill, and the rest of the adult troubles we have. You don't think that your Grandparents hated CCR and The Eagles, and then your Parents hated Pearl Jam and Nirvana, and now you hate NickelBack and Hoobastank. Its like the world has come full circle isn't it.......

Pay Day

Lets look for just a second at one of the problems that are facing america right now..MONEY. In the United States minimum wage is 7.25 an hour, that's 15080 dollars a year before taxes, insurance, social security and whatever else comes out of your check a week. The last time the minimum wage was raised was in 2007. But dig this in, 2007 a gallon of milk $3.09 a gallon of milk in 2011 $4.99.  How in the world does this compute to anyone? Now lets take Congress salaries in 2007 $160,000  that works out to about 77 dollars an hour, an in 2011 $174,000 that works out to 84 dollars an hour. That's a $7.00 dollar an hour raise for congress in 4 years and nothing for the people who work there asses off to keep this country going. And what would they say if you ask them about it.... Who cares about $7.00... I'll tell you who the people who are still making $7.00 an hour on minimum wage. Tell you what if we made the people who pass these laws, live by them, I bet minimum wage would get raised. Trust me I think people who work hard should get paid for there work, but what makes work hard? I could and would make the decision that these guys make for a far lot less. Are they tough decisions sure, but they become easier if you make the right ones first. Do you think that if maybe you raised minimum wage say a dollar for starters in your district and when you needed to raise taxes a penny to pass that school levy that it would make it a little easier to swallow. But instead lets give congress a raise nothing to the avg. person and then ask for a tax hike for the schools. Then when that fails and they close another school lets blame the people for not voting in a tax hike.  I'm no politician or economical genius but I like to think my common sense makes Cents.......

Holiday Cheer

So yesterday I wrote about some kids and there destruction of Christmas decorations .....BA humbug ... So today I'm gonna try and cheer us up. Watching the news this morning I saw a story on the Marines helping out with Toys For Tots. It was a very nice story, the kids all seamed genuinely excited to be getting toys. I also read a story today about a rash of people going into Kmart stores and paying for other peoples layaway and carts of toys........ That's all so nice.........then there's a story about someone robbing an armored truck outside a crowded Toy R Us... Then my real world brain kicks in.  A 30% increase in the kids on the Toys For Tots list this year. How many of thoses kids parents are just low life's looking for hand outs so they can spend there money on booze, drugs, gambling or whatever?  Then I start to think about the other story... Why is it only Kmart's? Is Kmart sending people out to do all this for publicity, to maybe get a little TV time. So people start saying well that never happens at Walmart....... Just one more Holiday cheer story for today. I work as a repair technician, (lets just say at an arcade for adults) as I finish the repairs on a game today before I'm even finish two guest both stand behind me as I'm  working wanting to know if they could play it. I told them as soon as I'm done. As soon as I close the door on the game they start to argue over who was there first, the "lady"  pushes me out of the way so she can sit down and piss away her money, and all I could think in my head was MERRY CHRISTMAS .....................

Christmas Vandalism

So I saw I story on the news this morning that had two teenage kids with ball bats knocking the crap out of someones Christmas display.. Now I don't know about the rest of you but that to me is just down right LOW. Watching the video all I could think was why would you want to ruin someone Christmas.  Then I thought wow what crappy parents these kids must of had or have. I love the holidays it reminds me of simple times when my brother and me couldn't wait to get up to see what Santa had brought. So then I started feeling sorry not for the people who's stuff they had destroyed,  but for those kids.
To: Thoses kids,
    Sorry you two I sure Christmas is a sore time for you when families are together doing family things. People are showing there love for one another. People are happy and cheerful. And then there are Assholes like you two who probably don't have a family or anyone who cares about you. So you figure if I can't be happy no one should be. Well guess what I'll bet you those people who's stuff you destroyed still have a great Christmas you know why? Because they have something I'm guessing you'll never have LOVE.

I really hate what we've become....

I just saw a story on the Today Show and they were talking about P.E.T.A. and that they are going after Nintendo for using a Tanooki (racoon)  suit in the Mario games. First let me say I think P.E.T.A. is a joke. Do I also think anyone who hurts an animal other than for food should be harshly punished, Hell yes I do. But Mario really, it's a fucking game and it is to be played as a game. When are people going to realize that games are not real life. What about Mario jumping on goombas or using fire balls on fish...oh no.  I feel as if us as a whole take some things way to serious when the problems that scare me are boiling on the back burner...

Don't tell me what to do......

Ok so I get that laws are put in place to protect people and I'm fine with that. Its when the law starts telling me what to do to protect myself. I'm a American adult if I don't want to wear a seat belt well that's up to me I'm only hurting myself. Its not hurting anyone else.... Now people will say what about your family and friends. What about them its not hurting them any more than if I drown swimming in a pool but as of now its not a law I have to wear floaties.... like I said as of now. Don't get me wrong long before it was a law I never rode in a car or drove without my belt on. But that doesn't mean I want the government telling me I have to. Kids should always be buckled up no matter what sure make that a law its hurting someone else if I wreck. And when that kids turns 18 and can make the decision to vote in the FREE WORLD leader or to pick up arms and kill someone for this country then they should be able to decide for them self if they want to wear a seat belt......

Today's Youth

Me....what do you think about all these governments being overthrown ...19 year old's response what government overthrow?. This is a kid that has graduate and is attending college. Sure you don't have to keep up with everything but dam it pisses me off when more people know more about the fucking Kardashians than they do about government overthrows all over the world. Now question is which way do I go with this rant.. Kids today or the mindless crap we call t.v. Think ill go with kids. Is it me or have kids gotten less intelligent (Oh who am I trying to not piss off no one is reading this) stupider. Kids now days have so many excuses not to work at anything. Why didn't you do your homework?  I have a.d.d. and I can't concentrate. But I just watched you play through 7 games of Madden.. So the problem is you didn't want to concentrate on the homework but that's ok cause you have a.d.d.. Does it feel like any time any kid doesn't want to do something someone is there to cover for them. Who is going to take over what little will be left of this country? No kid today wants any responsibility for anything. From there careless regard of the law to farming to simple math. Kids don't care..Someone else will do it. WHO? This country is killing itself and it bothers me.

I'll Bet Ya

Hey Mitt Romney I'll bet you 10,000 that you could not live off my salary which is just over double that. With that being said who cares what he said do you really think that makes him any less fit to run this out of control train wreck we call a country. Does this make him out of touch with us "common folk" ? No it just makes him real, what you don't think the rest of those guys could throw down 10k on a bet? Yeah right at least he is not trying to act like he just lives pay check to pay check like the rest of us. Do I like Mitt?.. No not really but do I like any politician?.. No not really.
