My thoughts
I haven’t posted in a while, I guess life has been busy. I had some strange news on my Birthday this year (what great timing). I found out that the Mother I have never really known has Cancer. I feel tossed on actually how to feel, do I care, how could I not?
How do you care for a Mother you don’t really know, of course I could ask that of my Dad, how could I care for a man that gave up. My Dad supposedly had Cancer too, the only way I really know, is that years ago after he passed I received a medical bill from the Hospital collection department wanting payment. I hate it is he felt so alone in this world that there was no other way out – even though I have had those thoughts myself.
Though these days I don’t look for sympathy – I did when I was younger – I feel that life just has a plan for us – it may not be the plan we would like – but none the less it’s what we have been given. We can choose to let it decide our path in life or we can rise above and find the strength to do whatever it takes not to repeat the past or let it take control.
I’ve delt with things for years and have changed much over this time. I find pleasure in things that I know won’t let you down and find myself trying to hang onto things that can’t be held onto. I look around and I see so much selfishness in the world, people wanting more, treating others without respect and acting like they are above everyone else. I don’t understand why people just feel they are invincible to the things – what doesn’t catch up to you now – will catch up to you later. Nothing is ignored and nothing forgotten – I’ve had my moments in life when I was younger, I did my share of things I regret – though as an Adult, I try to be the best person I can be – no one is perfect – but we can all be better – try harder – give more – care more – respect more – love more.
Life is short – too short – make the most of it – words are cheap and actions deep.
Fickle You, Fickle Me
America is fickle – we only see the bad things, when times get bad. We only see the good things, when time are good. When do we wake up and see what is actually going on?
I mentioned in prior blogs about things getting really bad in the US before it starts to change and I find it laughable that idiot politicians (elected by us I may add) still don’t see everything for what it is.
Greed, Power, Overlooking the hungry, Ignoring the cheating happening in our Schools…..and people actually ask (What went wrong) WOW – it’s so tired…..America has and is getting it’s wake up call.
We aren’t always right, we aren’t always the best…..Sometimes we are wrong, sometimes we are the less than are best.
I’m just sadden that the men and women who fought for this Country previously and have passed, may have to look down and ask “what was it all for” ”why did we fight so hard”.
I am tired of people saying “I can’t change it” ”I can’t make a difference” “I’m just one man/woman” HAVE YOU TRIED??
Desperate Poor Compete For Scraps of Spoiled Food at Auction – What?!
Read this article – this is NOT a joke but makes me sick, that in this Country this is happening! OUR GOVERNMENT SUCKS!
“Auctions aren’t just for foreclosed homes and creepy trinkets from Michael Jackson’s home anymore. Now you can buy toilet paper and pork ribs from auctioneers around the country, as everything spirals into chaos and lawlessness.
Attendance is up nationwide at grocery auctions, where people bid on food and household items that were either overstocked or past their sell-by date and so no longer suitable for consumption by the employed.
Inside the auction hall in Dallas, a small town north of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Williams uses a singsong, rapid-fire delivery to sell everything from frozen broccoli (six boxes for $2) to pork ribs ($20 for a 14-pound hunk) to candy bars (10 Baby Ruths for $2). Especially popular are the frozen foods – pies and chicken breasts.
For now, these auctioneers are accepting money from the winning bidders in exchange for expired cartons of ketchup packets and such. But it won’t be long before they’re only taking barter in the form of Mason jars full of gasoline, children, and death-matches.”
“Are you kidding me”!! Afraid not!
Mean Dogs or Bad Owners
I personally feel it’s the 2nd of the two. Recently out middle baby Bailey was in the back yard around 8pm. Shannon took the boys out, the other two bogs made it inside the house and our Bailey was starting to walk toward Shannon to go inside, when a pit-bull jumper the fence, which is about 4 feet high and jumper on Bailey, rolling them both, luckily the pit did not get a bite on Bailey and Bailey got away running yelping. I at this point started running toward the outside when Bailey came running inside yelping still. I noticed that Shannon was face to face with this pit, and in a flash his owner jumped the fence and on top of his dog, yanking it and throwing it back into his yard. The pit was 1 second from jumping Shannon…..my fear turned very quickly into anger, as we have had trouble with the neighbor behind us for a while and we plus other neighbors had reported them for not taking care of this dog and knowing that it is quite vicious. Anyway, I started yelling at this guy, after grabbing a garden hoe, and ready to swing. The guy got out of the yard and hid like a little bitch. We called animal control and the police. The bitch still hid from them even though they knew he was inside.
Well the idiot had the balls to come over to my home and apologize and of course, I didn’t keep my mouth closed, I pretty much told him that I want his dog impounding or for him to be euthanized. (Not the dog). The guy started to back up and I opened my door up more and told him that if he walked away or ran, that I would tackle him to the ground and beat his ass. The guy kept apologizing and I told him that he could tell it to a judge, that he should have had control of his dog, and what if this had been a child. He then started to tell me how his dog knew the difference and I told him to shut the “F” up because the damn dog was going to jump on Shannon and tried.
Well the guy knew he was screwed and shut up real fast. I told him that he needed to leave really quick that I couldn’t be responsible for hurting him (and trust me, I honestly wanted too, I thank God for giving me the strength to not do anything).
Well long story made shorter here…..the guy is going to Court in April and received 3 tickets from the City….of course that is just the City…..I’m not through with him yet.
AND HERE IS A TIP! IF YOU CAN’T LOVE YOUR DOGS OR CARE FOR THEM THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE, DON’T GET A “F’N” DOG! SCREW YOURSELF UP, NOT OTHER CREATURES!
By the Way - Our little Bailey is OK – scared, little bruised, a lot dirty, but OK.
Me not bad, me peoples are
Sick of Republicans!
This is from a CNN story today:
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:
Some Republicans are calling President Barack Obama’s reversal on embryonic stem-cell research a distraction from the economic slump.
Congressman Eric Cantor, the Republican whip, says the economy is “job number one. Let’s focus on what needs to be done.” Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tells the Washington Post that the president’s move is an “ideological sideshow” that’s taking the focus off the worsening economy. Gingrich says that it’s “dangerous” for the administration to “pick a wide series of fights.”
*********************************************************************************************************
Are you kidding me??? I think it’s about damn time we have some good news and I don’t give a damn who gives it too us. Stem Cell research saves or can save millions of lives ~ Our useless Republican War took thousands of lives and now has impacted Millions of lives, we have Americans living in Tent Cities again, we have Children suffering from a decease that can be cured with Stem Cells transplant. Hey Eric and Newt ~ F Off, why don’t creeps like you hide under rocks like they did in the good ole days. You are tired and quite honestly ~ these aren’t the days to keep up the Politics. Maybe you both just need a reality check!
Priorities ~ Where are they?!
What is happening in this Country when we are more aware and concerned with a damn Bachelor show then what is happening in REAL life. Has anyone outside of Texas heard about the Mexican drug criminals killing 12 Police Officers?? Probably not, you probably should! When we start living in a society that cares more about some punk Bachelor on TV over real life this is when the US needs it’s own reality check!!
This is getting sad! WAKE THE FUCK UP!
A Human Nature Gift
True Story ~
A local hospital recently gave all their employees $20 as a stimulus fund for the local economy.
“A man and his wife – he being treated for cancer and her blind, they have an 8 months old baby.” The father was being treated at this hospital and lost his wallet with his last $20 in it. This money was all he had to feed his baby ~ and before you judge, he does work “hard” but they have heavy medical bills to pay. Anyway, a worker in the hospital found his wallet and was able to locate the man by his treatment card in the wallet. After hearing the story from the man and meeting his wife and baby; the woman went to her coworkers and several of them donated their $20 stimulus to this family so that baby could be fed and show some form of paying it forward.
Point of this story – it doesn’t take much to make a difference right now. The 1 kind gesture you do can/will trickle down and have the most profound effect on another person’s life. So next time you are in a hurry and just want everyone out of your way and think you are the only one with problems, stop and breath and think what you do have. What makes life happy, worth living and the reason to get up everyday.
I don’t have much, but what I have I cherish.
Do “wa” St. Louis??
Welcome to St. Louis, MO - we love to waste taxpayers money at a time that we shouldn’t by renaming Delmar Blvd “Barack Obama Blvd” WTF?? What has Barack done at this point that has proven the need to rename a historic street? UMMM – NOTHING. Way to go University City, I wonder what your motivation was for this renaming? hmmmm, Race, Greed, Money, Tax Credit, Payoff, Ripoff? Do tell…..I think you should have to answer!!
“This is not about Barack Obama. This is about America,” proclaimed Street Committee chairman, Alderman Freeman Bosely Sr. Noting that the street itself has long served as a dividing line between the city’s black and white community, Bosely added, “When I was a kid, there wasn’t anyone that looked like me south of Delmar.”
SO IT IS ABOUT YOUR RACE??? ”There wasn’t anyone that looked like me south of Delmar” – or are you a Man size Turducken walking around?
“We should name a street after Chuck Berry. At least he’s DONE something.”

I still care very deeply for what this Charity does and I want to mention it again, I won’t stop supporting this, it not only helps people around the world, but focuses on people here in the USA, I am a strong believer that Charity starts at home; and home to me is the USA, so many of us don’t think twice about someone else in need, although I don’t have much, I do have much more than many and am grateful ~ Stan Brock to me is a definition of a true Hero~ he isn’t paid millions for hitting a little ball to left field, yet taking that same money and drugging/drinking it up; he does take and not show for it, he proves one man can make a GREAT difference in this life ~ Kudos for helping thousands of people!
