Damn Damn Damn

I have come down with yet another cold.

This makes the third in 3 months. (guess I’m down to 597 to go if the 600 colds in your lifetime is true)

Woke up Sunday feeling like shit then as the day progressed I started feeling worse. 

After an hour of wrestling with myself over it, I canceled going to a shooting match in Palm Springs. Talk about pissing me off!

I went back to bed. When I woke up several hours later I felt worse. I was just pissed off enough that I did chores anyway. Poo patrol, laundry, even cooking a meatloaf.

With the exception of having my cock sucked damn well and generally feeling good about that. I slept most of Monday away. 

This morning I’m feeling a bit better. My head still feels like it the size of the house and my throat is still swollen but I’m mending.

I applied the rule established several months ago. “Don’t write when you feel like crap” because you never know what’s likely to end up in print.

So that you’re seeing this post is a good sign.

Now hopefully I can get something constructive done today. Provided I don’t find someone to play with… When I’m like this I’m easily distracted. But then what guy isn’t all about having his pipes cleaned when he’s feeling crappy?

Folks say that men are babies when we’re sick… Yeah probably. 

The other side of the coin is we like being treated like kings.

Think about it… we’re waited on, sexually serviced, and get to sleep as much as we want. That my friends makes being sick almost worth it.

Something that tickled my funny bone

While I was out and about I stopped by Bass Pro to pick some items up.

I was planning to do my second Run & Shoot competition today.

Unfortunately, during the night I’ve come down with something.  When I got up this morning I didn’t feel great but I was still ok.

By the time I was showered and ready to go I felt completely lousy!

So I stayed home and am nursing whatever ailment I’ve picked up.

At first I thought that something I ate had just disagreed with me. But I’m thinking now it’s something more like a cold / flu / stomach bug / whatever.

I’m achey and feverish.

There is a part of me that wonders if I’d gone out to Palm Springs if the heat wouldn’t have made me feel better. I’m tired of being cold!

Just as I was getting into wearing shorts & enjoying the warmth of Spring…. We’ve had a cold front move through and it 40 outside… Again!

I swear, we didn’t have a Winter… and Now it looks like we’re not going to have a Spring either! I’ve actually been wondering if I should shut the sprinklers down again because the temps have been dropping so low.

Of course if I just got out there and installed the rain/freeze sensor on the sprinkler control unit I wouldn’t have to worry about it quite so much.

The photo above is the result of my putting these items on the counter at Bass Pro yesterday. It just seemed such a contrast. The candy corn is for the godson and the ammo was going to be used today.

The grouping was just so redneck I couldn’t help but laugh.

I don’t think the little girl at the counter saw the joke, she probably thought I’m a bit strange.

As I was coming home I was thinking about a series of photos that would be priceless.

Ammo, diapers, milk, moonpie, RC Cola and a 6-pack.

Condoms, Ammo, and a home pregnancy test.

You see the pattern…

I’m thinking I’ll pull out the camera, tripod, and a nice backdrop then start taking photos that document the redneck experience in the early 21st century

Might be interesting…

Wow! Forgot how insane people are on Holiday weekends.

Just got back from running the sound system down to a pickup point.

IMAG0159

Unfortunately I had to go to a shopping center I loath! I seriously considered heading out to a factory store near Palm Springs or another factory store at South Coast just to avoid going where I had to go.

It’s not that the shopping center is bad per-se it’s the people that go there. 

Lets just say that most weren’t raised in this country… As a result It feel like I’m walking into a 3rd world cesspool every time I have to go to this particular center. It’s not just the language(s) it’s the entire cultural difference that you’re suddenly confronted with. 

Many Asian countries don’t have the same personal space requirements that we Americans do. The same is true of many countries South of the border. Then add the exaggerated walk and arm swinging of so called African American “Culture” plus a large crowd…

Well that’s a  recipe for someone like me to have my threat assessment systems go to DEFCON 5 in a very short time…

That’s really my problem not the problem of the patrons of the mall.

It’s also a reason that I don’t as a rule enjoy Knotts Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, or Disneyland.

Too many people and all of them seem to be from a culture other than mine. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out if someone is a threat, trying to pick a fight, or simply behaving like they would if they were back home.

The simply act of getting to the shopping center was a challenge…

I personally witnessed at least 4 people completely run stop signs. When I say run them I mean they didn’t even touch their brakes. Several others blew through  stop lights that couldn’t have been any redder if they were the size of klieg lights.

Once I got to the shopping center, there were already people fighting over parking spaces. Really! I saw one shoving match and one screaming match in progress. The amusing thing about it was that the parking lot was pretty much empty.

The people had gone to war over a parking space when less than twenty feet further on there was a wide open expanse of empty spots.

Like most people here or anywhere now day I ignored the insanity once I’d determined that the people involved weren’t an immediate threat.

After unloading the stuff from my trunk, and humping all it across the parking lot,  I get into the store, arms full with 50 lbs of equipment.

This after fighting my way through doors that swing OUT and automatic doors that are broken, only to find a woman whose blocked all three customer service / cashier stations with a shopping cart and her fat ass so that NO-ONE may get to it. The store employees tried politely asking her to move but the woman would not shut the hell up. She seems somehow to have thought that by blocking access to all the counter she was going to make her point better. The only point she made for me was that she was a rude idiot who really needed a reality check..

After standing there for 5 minutes I’d finally I’d had enough, I said “Hey you old battle-ax how about you move your shit so other customers can drop off OR BUY something?“

That shut her up for only a moment…

But I got to put my stuff on the counter. A perky young lady immediately started filling out the necessary paperwork. While I’m answering questions the Battle-ax is continuing her screeching. 

Then I start paying attention to what she was complaining about and my brain melted.

She’d purchased some sound system thing (I couldn’t identify what exactly) about 3 months prior. Then one of her friends purchased the same thing only it was slightly different and in the opinion of the battle-ax “Better”. She was in the store being a raving lunatic trying to intimidate the employees into exchanging her using for the “Better” one at no cost. REALLY???

Does that work?

I guess it works enough that people continue to do it. 

No wonder the costs keep going up even though the jobs are off shored to cheaper labor.

I’m going to be taking a trip soon. Since I’m driving, I’m hoping that I can scope out some places where maybe the insanity isn’t quite as bad. Who knows If I find a nice place, I might just stay there. 

I know I’m just as nutzs as all the other people here… But I keep hearing that shaman from Avatar… “Let us see if your insanity can be cured.” 

One can hope, In the mean time I’m hanging out up where I can see trees and sky and watch the occasional sunrise.

Hope every one has a great weekend.

Chores of the day…

Poo Patrol!

Thank you Saint Mike Rowe you are an inspiration to me each and every time I have to dig out that little shit shovel!

Weedwacker

Weed whacking.

This activity always results in my bleeding. Today it was a busted knuckle… There’s a lot of small rocks and in some places little bits of melted metal and fused glass. I always start the weed whacking process with a walk over the ground to pick up anything loose or sharp. I always miss something and whatever I miss always ends up being flung at a high velocity toward whatever exposed skin is closest. Today it was my left knuckle… Last week it was the back of my right hand.

Technology issues.

Last night I flip on the satellite box in the living room and my TV image was a lovely shade of pink. And that lovely shade was on all channels. I’m thinking it’s something with the satellite box, reset, power down, reset and for just an instant everything is good then PINK! After many hours and substituting cables, moving things around and generally messing around. I come to the conclusion that if I remove the surround sound system (Which all HDMI is routed through) the problem goes away. I call the manufacturer and they’re very nice they tell me I’m out of warranty but that for a flat (and inexpensive) rate they’ll make necessary repairs then return the unit to me with a 1 year warranty. Nice! Service with a smile. They even apologized for the repair possibly taking up to two weeks. Really? That’s nothing… I’ve rerouted all the HDMI cabling to use the TVs internal systems so it’s no big deal. I did however choose not to connect the XBox directly to the TV. Not that I couldn’t it would just require getting behind a credenza and working in a very narrow space which I would have to undo when the surround system gets back. As it stands, Satellite, Apple TV, and DVD are all online I can live without the XBox for a while. If I really need an XBox fix… I can always make the connections.

Ahhh The sweet smell of Down Home Christianity

Folks it’s happened once again. At least this time it’s not in Florida. But you really do have to ask what the hell is up with North Carolina????

What’s happened now you say?

Another God fearing down home Christian Minister / Pastor / Reverend / (Whatever) has demonstrated why Christianity and other religions will no doubt be banned in the future.

Now wait… before you go nuts and condemn me to hell, hear me out…

How many people have died due to the practice of various religions?

How many civilizations have been destroyed over religious practice?

It doesn’t seem to matter which side of the “Good Book” you’re on or which “Good Book” you read. Inevitably someone is going to get it into their head that THEIR view and practice of religion is the right one and your view is wrong. Shortly after that your wrongness will be punishable by death.

The funniest thing is that the latest Hate Spewing asshole would denounce and call for the bombing of the Taliban, Iran, Iraq, and probably the Palestinians too. Yet he fundamentally agrees with at least one tenant of these peoples religions.

YES!!! REALLY!

We must KILL THE FAGGOTS because THEY EXIST!

Below is a link to part of the heinous Hate Filled speech from the pulpit. If this link disappears, do a youtube search for Pastor Charles L Worley.

I don’t know how long this video will remain online. I’ve heard that the church is trying to remove it from public view. No wonder! If these are the values that Christianity espouses I think I’ll choose another religion… Perhaps something involving naked dancing around a fire and minimal animal sacrifice.

Let me sum up what this man is saying.

1) He wants to put lesbians in one concentration camp.

2) He wants to put Gay men in another concentration camp

3) He wants the fences to be electrified and expects for the Homosexual vermin to die out. ( I put the word Vermin in his mouth, and paraphrased the rest.)

Clearly this moron doesn’t understand where homosexuals come from.

Gay people are born. Gay people come from all walks of life, all families,  and all ethnicities.

Deity forbid there may even have been one or two gay people sitting in the congregation listening to this vitriol live. Had I been sitting there I’m sure that I’d have insured my passage to hell because I’d have been more than happy to have taken this guy on. 

He also doesnt’ address the issue of Bisexuals. I mean really what’s he going to do with them? Another concentration camp? I guess he’ll have to make sure they’re sterilized else they’re gonna breed!

This guy has no idea that it’s a fine line between concentration camps and outright murder. I’m surprised that he suggested just putting Lesbians in a camp. I kept expecting to hear that the Lesbians should be used as breeding stock. The Nazis used Lesbians against their will to breed Aryan babies. And they provided a great pick-me-up for the troops too! 

Imagine the outlet for all those pent-up Christian men whose wives aren’t putting out anymore. Oh and lets not forget that in the bible, there’s talk about men whose wives were barren and they were allowed to go hook up with a slave or a 2nd wife. I’m sure that all those good Christian women would welcome the relief. But what does that say about adultery?

OH Wait… It’s not adultery or fornication if the church said you can do it right?

So if the church says to go kill a bunch of people for Jesus it’s ok. See History: Crusades

You know, that’s EXACTLY what the 9/11 terrorists thought. Only they weren’t killing for Jesus, for them it was Muhammad. (Unless you believe the conspiracy theories.)

As always I’m left wondering how so many “religions of peace” end up pounding their plowshares into swords.

———— UPDATE ————–

The original link I embedded was gone by the time this post went live.

I’ve updated the post with another link. 

The new link is not as good as the original I posted. The original was 12 -13 minutes long and at least gave some context. After making the inflammatory statements he goes on to cite the Chapter in Leviticus, and another chapter in Romans, he builds his case following the usual conservative religious dogma.

Honestly, He and the church would have been better off letting the original video remain posted. While what he says is clearly scary… Why he says it is understandable from the standpoint of the dogma of his particular faith.
