Am I the only person in the world like this?

You know sometimes I think that I am the only individual around me that has a brain. And then again, I wonder if I have one for putting up with these individuals. I am not a hard person to get along with. I usually go out of my way to be nice to people. Sometimes I am too nice. But when I ask someone not to do something, I really mean it. There is no talking me into it, no beating around the bush, just flat out freaking don't do it.

Take for instance a drunk person. It seems that no matter who I get around these days, they are intoxicated for some earthly reason or the other. I can deal with that most of the time. Having lived in this red-neck haven for my entire life I have had to get use to it. But what I will never get use to is drunk people touching me. Yet it seems that every freaking one of them always wants to put their arm on me or pat me on my back and ask me how am I doing. Well I am doing just fine as long as you don't touch me.

The same goes for the guys I use to work with. Working in construction for most of my life there were many days that I sweated so much that my clothes were wet. I would have enough respect not to get close to anyone. But these morons would want to get as close to me as they freaking could. And more than one time I would tell them to get their stinking sweaty tails away from me.

The grocery store is the same way. I don't care if I am only going to get one thing. I am going to get a cart so that I can make sure I keep my distance from people. But there is always going to be one person that wants to get just as close as they can to you in line and breath down my back.

I am not claustrophobic. I can deal with the tight places and things like that. During my time with the Fire Dept I had no problem doing anything. But I really have to have my space when it comes to people. I have played baseball or softball all of my life. Most of my time was spent playing short stop. And if the person that played second or third got too close, I would let them know really quick. My brother usually played behind me in the outfield. And I would constantly tell him to do the same thing. Let me play short stop, and for him to get out there where he belongs.

Am I the only person in the world like this? I really hope not. How do you like people breathing down your neck? Does it bother you as much as it does me?

I'm the boss, period!

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a happy 4th of July. Mine was boring but hey, I was above ground so it could have been worse.

My daughter is here with me until the end of the month. That is great for me but it has started off on the wrong foot. It seems that she has been hanging around some children that don't want to listen and it is trying to rub off on her. Well, like I always say, the buck stops here. Part of being a real parent is having to stand up to your children and not let the get their way about everything. Usually my daughter is the greatest child in the world. But today she seems to have her ass on her shoulders. She is not too old or too young to have it removed either. I am the boss, and that is just the way it is.


They had a serial Killer down in South Carolina. Thanks to the Police Officers that responded to a Breaking and entering, they put him to sleep.

I hope you all have a great day or evening..

4th of July

It is that time a year again when we all celebrate our Independence, have a big party and make a lot of noise. I am certainly going to do my part in making noise, I love the fireworks. This a great day that we celebrate here in America.

Those of you that read my blog often know that I love to use the word Moron. I even call myself one from time to time. But as an American, I have that right. And so do all the rest of the people in this country. We live in a country that has more diversity than any on the face of the earth. And we fight amongst ourselves like cats and dogs. Yet there is not one of us that would not stand hand in hand with the other in order to protect our freedom. Because whether our neighbor is a drunk or a moron, we still want them to have the freedom to be just that.

Happy 4th of July everyone. God Bless this Great Country of Ours. And May God Bless all of you my friends. Be safe, don't drink and drive, and make a hell of a lot of noise today!

Independence day!

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

People do crazy things!

This is going to be a short post but I think this link is worth visiting. It is a story about how a reporter tried to eat what a pro cyclist eats during a race day. You can find the story here.

I remember when my ex was carrying my daughter. It was the day that she went into labor. I came home and she was telling me that she did not feel very well. As I walked by the coffee table I noticed an empty bag of tootsie rolls. I looked in the trash beside her and noticed all the wrappers. She had ate over a hundred tootsie rolls that day. She should had been sick. But she said they were good.

Have you ever done anything that you knew what the outcome was going to be, but you did it anyway? It just makes you feel so good to do the crazy things doesn't it? Have a great day everyone.

Congratulations to my Daughter!

On Tuesday my daughter will complete her second grade of school and will be moving on to the third grade. She will start her summer break before returning to the third grade at the end of July. Yes, I know it is only the second grade, but it is the only time that she will complete it, so it is special to me.

As some of you know, since she has been doing exceptionally well in school I rewarded her with a kitty. She really has become attached to it. And she does just as she said she would when I told her she could have it. She feeds it, cleans its litter and plays with it all the time. She just loves him to death.

No matter how good things go in life, there is always a down fall to things. What is happiness to one, can be torture to another. And this freaking kitty is torture to me. For some reason he has this thought in his head that my leg is a scratching post. He seems to think that I should get up at 5 in the morning to feed him. He also has the urge to unplug the cords from the computer, not to mention that he likes to attack my feet, eat every time I eat and sit on my head and take a bath while I am trying to sleep. So I am declaring war with him. I have acquired me a water gun. He does not like it. So he either is going to start behaving like a good kitty, or he is going to be one wet cat. I have broke him from getting on the counters by using it.

If you have not already subscribed to my feed, I invite you to do so. I have many followers on my twitter account, but really would like a few more on my blog. So be sure to tell your friends to come sit down and read for a while.

That is all for now my friends, time to go play war games with the kitty!

What really happened?

I listened to the audio of the 911 call that was made when Michael Jackson went into cardiac arrest. Something is really fishy about this story. To start off with, the guy that made the call was absolutely too calm. Also, when asked were the victim was at, the caller said that he was on the bed. Then he said the doctor was giving him CPR. Anyone that has ever taken CPR, been involved in Emergency Services of any kind know that the first thing you do before you start CPR is get the person onto the floor or a solid object. Giving someone CPR on the bed just doesn't work.

Also, I have answered a few emergency phone calls in my life and I cannot recall any of them being as calm as the 911 tape that I listened to. The caller gave the zip code to the 911 operator. Sounded more like he was ordering a pizza than an ambulance.

The phone call that the family attorney made from the hospital is another freaky incident. Attorneys do not talk. They do not offer information to anyone. They are bound by law to keep matters confident. Yet this guy calls CNN and starts talking about everything in the world. He was way too willing to try and make this case look like a overdose by a drug user. He even stated that the family had been trying for months to get him to stop taking drugs. Just doesn't make sense. There are too many actions that have happened that has the look of screen play if you ask me.

When Elvis died many people could not believe that he was dead. There have been reports for years that people had seen him in different places. And Elvis's daughter even said that Michael has said he would end up like Elvis. Maybe there is something to this statement. If I were the investigators I would be asking for some DNA from his family and comparing it to the body. Visual identification is no way possible for this guy. His whole face and body was man made anyway.

When dealing with a case that started out with the same freaky nature that Michael possessed all his life, anything is possible. And this will be a story that will be in the news for a long time to come. It may sound far fetched, but hey, this is Michael Jackson we are talking about. It could turn out to be a real Thriller!
