I just read this article post by washingtonpost.com…http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/28/AR2008022803988.html…is the link in case you are interested. Apparently there is a PC debate abut Fred Armisen’s character of Obama. The question is “Why is a white guy playing a black guy”? I asked myself reading this article, why arent they asking, “Why is a white/asian guy playing a white/black guy”? Yes, people tend to forget that Obama is only half black. His other half is Irish of all things. Is it because African Americans are too proud to finally have thier canadate, they dont want to admit to the white part, due to the negative impact that they would still need a 100% black canadate to prove whatever they need to prove? Maybe that is the next step in this rediculous racial shit we’re still going thru. Maybe IF Obama becomes president, some people will still not consider him the first black president b/c he is only half black. This shit is driving me crazy.

Its official, I have ADD. I was once diagnosed with it as a freshman in college, but i really didnt believe i actually had it. I was give pills that turned out to be “party pills” and took control of my life. Sure it helped me pass thru college, only because I was on speed the whole time. But after i graduated, i took back the control i had once lost to this promoted drug addiction and told myself i can accomplish life on my own without any help from stupid drugs. it seems like ever since i have been off the pills and doind things by myself, my professional life has been spinning out of control. my personal life, however is great and couldnt be better. however how does one support their personal life if they cant make a professional living? its almost a catch 22. which do i choose, my personal life and i will never accomplish what i want professionally…or my professional life which will drastiaccly interfere with my persoanl life.

here an example…in my professinonal life i am supposed to have concentration at certain times while i work. well, i think i’m concentrating, but when there is a QA done, there is ALWAYS a mistake…even when i concentrate hard enough to tell myself i will not mess up this time, i still make a mistake. it sucks. i know i can do it better with the pills, but i really want to keep my persoanl life the way it is. this hole day thinking about this dilema, my gut has been tossing and turning and i even was at the store and used one of those blood pressure machines…for the first time in my life my blood pressure came back as higher than normal…i think it was called prehypertention. well, i wasnt really debating this all day today to make my blood pressure rise. i covered up a mistake i made a work and freaked out about it so much i guess i stressed myeself out. but i dont want to live like that. i dont want to stress myself out at work so much by coverong up my own mistakes i give myself an ulser.

if it wasnt for all that fukin tv i watched when i was growing up.

I am so sick of networks relying so heavily on reality shows that good shows…shows that would have made it in the past… are being pulled faster than Don Imus can think of an excuse for his behavior. The funny thing is that it is idiots like us who watch those idiot reality shows which gives networks larger ratings which brings in more sponsors which gives those networks more money so they can invest it in quality shows like the Black Donnellys only to be cancelled due to poor ratings because idiots like us are still watching those idiot reality shows. Its time to take a stand. We cannot just let these networks puch us around and tell us what we can and cannot watch. Something is going on here with these stations not realizing who their real fan base is. Take American Idol for example. Sanjaya is bar none the worst singer in recent years and doesnt even have the common curtesy to learn the lyrics before he sings them on stage in front of millions of viewers. YET, the ratings say we apparently love Sanjaya. These same ratings my friends are telling networks like NBC to cancell the Black Donnellys and make more episodes of Deal or No Deal. THERE IS NO STATEGY TO THAT GAME. ALL YOU DO IS PICK A NUMBER AND GET GREEDY DOING IT. IT IS NOT ENTERTAINING.
So, here is my proposal. Its time for us to start treating NBC and the other networks like they just called an African American Female a napy-headed ho and turn this into a media frenzy based off of three meaningless words. No, not, “You are fired”. Rather, “I want my T.V. back”. I know that was more than three words but I couldnt think of anything good.

Bob Woodruff. Remember him. If you like to keep up to the current news you should know who I am talking about. This is a classic situation of how America reacts to ANYTHING. Let me explain.

ABC’s “World News Tonight” was undergoing an anchorman change due to Peter Jennings recent loss to cancer. Bob Woodruff was one of the front runners as he anchored the news several times over the course of a few months. As ABC was making their decision of the Anchor spot, they sent Woodruff to Iraq to cover the war. In the middle of making a documentary for his demanding job, Woodruff was severely injured by a roadside bomb. This is where I get frustereated at the “behind the scenes politics”.

Woodruff had all the support he needed to recover and ABC seemed genuinely concerned with a speedy recovery to get their “future anchor” back. Not so much. After a few updates on his recovery and successfully convincing the viewers that he would be fine, his career went from 60 to 0 in 0.5 seconds.

Now, I realize that he was severely injured and he may even had some facial damage. But this treatment of Woodruff is how America treats their “quote, unquote” heros. An individual makes a sacrafice, there is a story on it, people move on. Never heard from again. If I had a dime for every time I heard, “and we will have a follow up as soon as possible” and never hearing from that story again, I’d be telling Rosie she is a big fat degenrate lesbien. Just put some thought into this. All that support crap they have been shoving down our throats for EVER is just show. I feel like my soul is being tortured. JUST TELL US THE TRUTH AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!

I’ve never really had any ideal friends. I have some here and there, what most people would consider aquaintances, but I just consider people who I know. I’ve really always been that way, you see. My personality really doesnt blend in with the rest of those. I do consider my wife to be my best friend. I guess that is why I married her. We are basically the same person. The funny thing is she really doesnt have any friends either, and she admits to that as well. In my opinion, people today are much more stupid than was once thought. No one really sits back and considers what the rest of us are doing. We’re just walking around making a bunch of noise. I hate it.

I wonder what life was like for our grandfathers and their fathers and so on. I wonder if people were that stupid back then, too. Or if there was actaully a culture where people got along. I wonder if the human race has always been like this. People trying to out do everyone else to show that they are better than the person standing right next to them. I can somewhat understand. I am in a situation right now where I am with a group of people everday who have not experienced the same corners of life I have, and for that I consider myself better than them. I cant help it, I just do. Maybe thats what these other retards are feeling toward me and thats why I cant get along with them. They think they are better than me for some reason and thats why I can never have friends. I just dont get it and I wish things were different.

I hope no one is reading this b/c I am making no sense right now. I would just really like to do my life over again and I would really like for my brain to work in a different way and I really wish i would give in like everyone else has and follow everyone around and do the exact same thing and be a sheep; wear the same clothes, talk the same way, go for the same things. maybe that way I’ll have more friends. Everyone keeps telling me that uniquness is important and that I must show my individuality. But when I do this and do the things that only make me happy, no one seems to understand the reason behind my behavior, therefore, my individuality and uniquness are now called weird and different.

A lot of people seem to be confused on what they are actually debating about. Most people just like to open their mouths so they can be heard. Others have a valid point but are just saying what others have told them to believe. The truth is, no one has (to my knowledge) examined the fine points behind this debate, which is why it is still considered a debate. Well, if you are reading this, you are lucky enough to fully understand what we need to do to solve this issue. However, in order to solve this issue, unfortunately, our government needs to change its way of thinking.     Forgive me if this blog ends up being very lengthy, but to fully understand  I need to highlight the finer points.

    The most important part in determining if gay marriage should be legal is understanding what ‘marriage’ actually is. Marriage is a religious ceremony practiced by several, if not all religions that can be dated back to the very early beginnings of any given religion. As a Catholic, I can only confirm what Catholics believe so I will focus my explanation on that. When Catholics get married, they are basically uniting each others bodies and souls with God into one being. The Catholic bible teaches us that only a man and woman may become one (dont stop reading, this is not my point).

     Now, this type of ceremony has been going on for thousands of years (pre-Catholics are considered Jews). When one challenges ones extremely old traditional ceremony, such as attempting to unite a man and man or woman and woman, there is bound to be controversy and push back. This is mostly the reason for the debate. Yet, to add fuel to the fire there is more. Not only are religions offended, the government cannot make up its mind. So allow me to clarify this, as well.

    When this country was founded by our fore-fathers, they decided that each human being, man or woman, black or white, should equally have their own rights. They also decided (***This is the most important part of my argument so pay attention***) because there were so many problems with the old country, that it might be a good idea to separate church and state. Yet, many of the governmental practices today are still a product of the church…Such as Marriage. So when couples get married in their own ceremony (whether it be religions or not), they also have to register with the state to become legally married. This is where the front line is in this debate. Because the church does not recognize gay marriage, due to the bible’s teachings, neither does the state. This is why the state needs to disassociate itself from the church and become separate again.

       My wife and I were married earlier this year in our church under God. We then decided to let the state know about it and then we became legally married. I couldn’t give a bigger shit if the state recognizes us as being married or not. What matters is that God has recognized us as being married. The only benefit I am getting from the state is a tax break.

***Here is the solution that would totally redefine the books***

      The state needs to start considering everyone who decides to get together as: a civil union. Not just a man and woman, but everyone. These were the rights our fore-fathers gave us that are written down in our constitution. Once you are part of a civil union, you have been recognized by the state as being together.

      On the other hand, the church is still going to practice what they have believed for thousands of years and unite a man and woman only. No one can argue or sue over this point because these are private beliefs. But the state is a public system and needs to recognize anyone who pays their taxes in this country as the way our fore-fathers intended.

In short: State=Public; Church =Private…Country=State/Church… and no more debate.

I havn’t got my bike stolen since I was like 10. Who really even steals a bike anymore? Get this. I havn’t been to church (on my own will) in I cant even remember how long. I asked my wife today if she wanted to go. She agreed and I thought it would be a good idea to ride the bikes to church. It takes about 10 mins to ride the bikes to church and it takes about 20 mins to drive.

It was a nice ride to church and we arrived about 10 mins late. We stayed for the whole thing, even after communion. We even decided to stay for the lighting ceramony after mass. When we walked back to the bikes, i jokingly said to my wife that the bikes are gone, only to realize in the next 10 steps that they were actaully gone. I locked them together and everything. WHAT THE FUCK! Number 1:Who the hell steals a bike. Number 2: Who the hell steals a bike at a Church! Number 3: Who the hell steals a bike at a Church a week before Christmas!!!?

So we had to walk back. 2 1/2 miles in the dark. What kind of world do we live in. This is such crap. I mean, i’ve had bikes stolen before, but like I said before, I was 10. Whoever took them really did me a favor anyway. The bikes were on our back pourch taking up space. I guess to be a bigger man, I have to say maybe it was a father who took the bikes and gave them to his kids for christmas who will make them very happy. They will get better use out of the bikes than I will. OR maybe I should start stalking the schools and ebay looking for the bikes and when I find them…well, use your imagination. “What the heck would YOU do in a stiuation like that”.

I still can’t figure out if I’m still pissed off that my bike got stolen, or if I’m pissed off that I was so fuking gullable enough that I would leave my bike unattended at a church a week before christmas and expect that they would NOT get stolen. I guess we just have to realize that we live in this kind of world and accept it.

So which is it? Well, no one really knows anything, but everyone has an arguement about it. Answer me these questions (without quickly looking it up on the internet) and I will work for you for free (legally, not like the illegal immigrants (thats another entry another time)). Why is hanukkah (yes i had to spell check it from google) celebrated during the same time of year as Christmas? Does anyone know what Quanza really is? And how many other religious celebrations are there in December.

Just like you, I have a theory on these questions, without even knowing the slightest bit of information on either one. I’m not sure if Christams came first or Hanukkah, but whoever decided to put them literally within a week of each other should be shot, even though they are already dead. They should be brought back to life just so they could be shot. Both the Christians and Jews have celebrated these religions for many years, and it is undertandable (not sure if a real word) that each wants to protect them respectively. I think the problem is America has been stirred in this melting pot for long enough that we are turning into water and oil.

Quanza…I’m not even going to get into the answer for that one. Thats a piece of dog shit I elect to step in another day.

And who really is getting offended when people offer each other Merry Christmas? It worked for this country for hundreds of years. What all of the sudden sparked an outrage by the silent majority that saying Christmas in public is as bad as saying Fuck. We might as well have turned the two words in to synonyms. Well, to the 1 or 2 individuals who have pretty much ruinned the only time of the year where people are actually nice to each other, “Christmas you!” Christmas you for turning this nation against each other and Christmas you for turning Holiday Cheer into Holiday Controversy.

I guess to all…Have a Merry Fuck.
