What does it say about the state of America & Americans when it takes the death of Maya Angelou to knock the Kardashian Wedding from the Headlines? It says we are pathetic, on the wrong track, and need to pull really hard...to get our heads out of our asses...Kim Kardashian was a socialite who organized closets for other rich socialites, until she got pissed on by Brandy's Brother in a homemade sex tape. That's it. She has done little to nothing to benefit mankind & probably wouldn't piss on you, if you were on fire. She married a musically talented, eccentric asshole, who will probably be more remembered for his G.W. Bush comment or his Taylor Swift incident, than his musical career...This is news? This represents America? This is our Royal Family?
We can't even have dyadic communication when it comes to real issues, for example: climate change, education reform, religion, women's rights, immigration, mental health, or the Second Amendment, to name a few, but we can overload the world wide web with these two assholes?
As to Maya Angelou, if you don't know who she is, how she grew up, what she went through in life, and what she has accomplished, well then...shame on you. At least google her, dedicate 5 minutes of your time to learn about this Treasured American. Then get back to what's really important, what will Kimye name their next baby? (Remember, North is already taken)

Memorial Day
This weekend will be extremely challenging for most. We've endured since New Years, ignorant holiday after ignorant holiday, supported by the Alcohol, Candy & Greeting Card Industry. Now we are faced with a Holiday that has some meaning & most will be to busy drinking, grilling, puking, & filming themselves doing things that will end up on youtube as Darwin Award Nom...inations to pause & reflect upon this Great Nation... However, you still have a chance this weekend to make a difference. Start with Thanking a Veteran, Say the Pledge before you start binge drinking in the morning, wear a Patriotic Speedo, or at least smile while giving the finger on the highway when you are cut off by Cleetus in his SUV. That way, when you stagger into work on Tuesday & join in on the tall tales around the water cooler, you can keep your head held high, knowing you understood the true meaning of the holiday.
Darwin's Smiling
I've read my last car stuck on the train tracks story. It's 2014 people. I don't understand how this happens period, let alone in this day & age. I think in the total history of train/automobile interaction, this should have happened maybe twice, both at night, pre WW II. I'm not saying that I'm cheering for the train, but this is now going to be filled in the same category with people who cover themselves in deer urine, approach a deer, get the sh*t kicked out of them, and wonder why....
Wanna-be Gangsta!
Tupac's last words were "F**K You" to the police officer that was first at the scene trying to help him according to a new interview....Funny, because my last words when hearing that he was gone were the same thing! A wanna-be-gangsta' that faked his way into a lifestyle that he was unprepared for & in the end, it cost him his life (should have stayed with Digital Underground & made bank on reunion-Humpty-Hump tours). I hope it was worth it, at least Vanilla Ice, when exposed as a fraud, had the sense to exit the game alive & hold on to his money...
Semi Pro (From May 18th)
Attention Guys that play Recreational Sports: Nobody Cares. That Simple. Standing next to my father today at Anna's piano recital, listening to him give a play by play of a golf scramble he played in on Monday, and I was ready to commit felony assault. My god, it's a scramble, not the final round of the US Open. Now if you had an incredible shot/hole in 1 or flipped the golf cart over in the bunker, that's different, but there is nothing more painful than to listen to two grown men talk at length about a recreational sporting event that has ZERO impact on humanity. What it says to me is that you are talking to somebody you either don't know very well, don't really like, or you hate your life to the point where you are praying that an asteroid tears through the roof eliminating all life on Earth...
Bad Parent! (From May 18th)
If you are the parent of a child or children under the age of 5 & you choose to take them to the: Movies, Opera, A Concert, Sporting Event, Fancy Restaurant, Musical Production, Antique Store, Hospital, Funeral, Wedding, or anywhere other than Wal-Mart, Chuck-E-Cheese, Toys-R-Us, or McDonalds, and they act a fool, throw a fit, scream, cry, won't sit down, shut up, ru...n buck wild, or essentially won't sit like a garden statue, well then....THAT'S ON YOU! What did you expect? To be fair, everybody gets one, but, because I know, YOUR kids are special, different, perfect, etc. & GOD bless you if they are (write a book, make millions), but you are setting everyone up for failure. They don't get it, you don't get it, and the masses don't get you for even trying. However, getting mad at the child, striking the child, yelling at the child doesn't solve anything & makes you look like an ASS. So do yourself & the world a favor, either stay at home or leave the kid at home, one of the few times where everybody is a legitimate winner!
Stupid is...(From May 12th)
Jameis Winston's father has done an interview about his son and other locals have chimed in as well. In a nutshell, the defense is, he's only 20, other college kids make mistakes, and he didn't know he would be in the spot light....BUUUUULLLLLLLSSSSSSSH HHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!! You were in the spotlight before you won the Heisman, for sexual assault charges (which went away), you WON the Heisman & NATIONAL TITLE and you didn't think you would get attention for that? Yes, other college kids make mistakes or do stupid things, but it's not like as long as there is a balance, you are allowed to do so as well. As to he's only 20? Is 20 the new 5? You can vote at 18 & die for your Country, but somehow at ONLY 20, you get a pass on everything? I'm not saying he should get the Death Penalty for stealing crab legs or even arrested, since he's a Heisman Winner, but blaming the number 20 is only acceptable if that's his IQ.
