So, I have taken a numch of heat from people for not blogging at all lately. I have to admit, that a bunch of things have happened that have kept me from the blogging world. With the elections, occupy and everything else going on, I should be more vocal (and lose more friends). I will try like hell this year to bore you with a whole lot more of my thoughts and musings...

Do you Remember

2011-09-10T20:36:00.001-07:00

Do you remember when we were attacked? Do you remember when those people ran in to save the victims? Do you remember the people who fought for our freedom, and bring the attackers and conspirators to justice? Do you remember that feeling when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, and it did? Do you remember the spark, however fleeting it was? Do you remember that moment, where people started helping each other, caring for each other and treating each other with civility and respect? Remember how through the darkest of clouds and the darkest of smoke, we became united as one, if only briefly? Do you remember when you forgot? When personal gain and importance and selfishness became more important then everything else? Do you remember, there are still those people willing to risk their lives for country and people they never met? Do you remember, because I can never forget?

"WHO RANG THAT BELL?"

Dateline - 1/15/09 09:50 PST
Place - my porch

So, I am sitting at my desk. I am a whopping 2 feet from my front door. Just a usual morning of drinking coffee, posting links to facebook that make me laugh out loud (lol, if you will). Tired, yet enjoying the Dunkin Donuts coffee I have delivered every month to keep me sane. My trusty canine resting at my feet, when a knock comes to the door.
**knock, knock**

ME: (out loud) "Who the fuck is knocking at my door at this time of the morning"

So, Kona barks and I mumble some sort of incoherent, half caffeinated swears out loud. I open the door to see a man and a women either dressed for a used car lot, or court. I couldn't decide which, until I saw the stack of Bibles they had. The light goes on in my head. It was at this point I decided I would politely decline anything they were handing out. I was SERIOUSLY going to be nice, considering, I did not assume (my bad) they were going to piss me right off.

Now, as a reminder, I currently live in the countryside. You don't "find my house accidentally". You have to drive to my house, park in my driveway and get out. Your not "strolling" to my house.

Me: "Umm....what?" (Kona is barking up a storm)

Male: "Well good morning, wow that is quite a guard dog"

Me: (sarcastically) "Ya, he is trained to go right after the jugular, not messing around on him...he loves it too. What can I help you with."

Male: (female behind him looking very nervous) "I was wondering if I could speak to you about the fact (I love the FACT this guy used that word) that the Earthquake in Haiti was part of scripture because of gods anger at the nation" (I shit you not, he said this)

Me: "So let me get this straight, you want to come into my home and discuss the fact that YOUR all mighty and loving god "caused" (I did the hand quotes, for effect) a giant earthquake that killed thousands of innocent people because he was "mad at them"

Male: (obviously seeing where this is going) "Umm..yes, its part of scripture and.."

Me: (interrupting in a low and monotone voice staring him in the eye) "get the fuck off my porch...NOW"

Male: (stuttering) "All I want to...(his hand on my front door, Kona went berserk at this point (he got a cookie after))"

Me: (now yelling) "Hey, if you think I am discussing this bullshit with you in my house, your outta your fucking tits. The simple thought that all of those folks are suffering and dying because god said "lets fuck with em" is horse shit. THE EARTH MOVED IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. You have 10 seconds to clear out before I have you arrested for trespassing..and before you get to jail they will have to stop and have my slipper removed. Way to fucking capitalize on a tragedy you fuck. SCREW, and don't ever come back."

They moved swiftly for folks dressed up real pretty like. I then sat for a moment aggravated. At first at those fuckers for screwing up my morning "ha ha" time and my coffee. As the moment went on I felt bad for them...not for what I said (Hell no, they deserved it) but that they believed that this is an "act of god".

See, I am more to the right politically. I am socially liberal I would say, but conservative when it comes to small government, crime etc. but I have NEVER bought in to the religious beliefs of the conservative groups. I am NOT religious, nor have I ever really been. I am not saying I do or do not believe in god. I just don't feel I have to exhibit it the same way as other people. I don't need to donate all my money, or go to a place once a week to worship. My relationship with god is my business. I have my difficulties with religion that I DEAL WITH. That being said, I CERTAINLY do not believe that god (what ever form she or he may be) would make MILLION suffer to "get even" over a deal "with the devil".

I knew where the douche bag at my door was going with it. There is some belief that Haiti made a "deal with the devil" to overthrow the French government at some point. REALLY!! REALLY!!! So god being all wise and knowing, caused millions to suffer for a deal they were not even ALIVE to make. I don't fucking think so. That is like saying Hurricane Katrina was god being mad about the Louisiana Purchase. Which, that Haitian's (the known as Saint-Domingue) had a hand in securing. NO, I don't buy it. Not to mention that Haiti is a VERY religious country (80% Roman Catholic).

I think that religions in general are a good thing. I think that religions give certain people hope, that they would not otherwise have. I believe that alot of them do exercise tolerance and understanding. I also believe a majority impact their community through programs, support, fund raising and other community services. I have seen first hand how faith have transformed people and saved their lives, and I am all for it FOR THEM.

What is my point??? Well, I don't think the poor people suffering in Haiti are doing so because their ancestors (and what about the people who were visiting, why did they have to suffer for the Haitians wrong doing...NO ANSWER?? I didn't fucking think so) deals. This was a tragic and sad natural disaster. That was the cause. One piece of the earth went one way, and one went the other. THAT'S IT. Its not that god unleashed his own "earth quake bomb" and channeling the voice of Robert Duval stated loudly "I LOVE THE SMELL OF EARTHQUAKES IN THE MORNING"....NO. If you believe that's the case, fine, send out a memo as too when and where you want too discuss, and the people that want to can show up. But DON'T you DARE come to my DAMN DOOR and jam in my face....for GOD SAKES, I was having COFFEE!

Enemy at the (Professor) Gates!

2009-07-20T19:38:00.001-07:00

First, look up either Massachusetts law - http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/272-53.htm or
http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/272-92a.htm
This is in response to the Boston Globe article here:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/07/harvard.html
and the police report is here:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/gates_incident_report_redacted.pdf

The first part of this my response to the Boston.com segment with comments. I had to be “Unshaun Like” so the censors didn’t deny my post…which it’s the Globe and they probably will anyhow…
Here is the issue. An uninvolved party sees what she believes to be a burglary in progress (Felony). She calls 911. A police officer responds and according to the report (which an officer has to assume is true until proven otherwise), two black males was forcing entry (shouldering) into a home. (Read the police report hyper link). The Sgt. (means he probably has been to a few burglary calls in his career) responds to the door and observes a black male inside the house. He does what any cop (of any race) would do...he INVESTIGATES (crime in progress in CAMBRDIGE not MAYBERRY, partial match of description of an independent witness). Now I know what you’re thinking...he should know EVERY RESIDENT IN CAMBRIDGE...it’s such a small un populated town...but he doesn’t. So, in order to gain assurance the male matching the witnesses description inside (which he could have probably proned out onto the ground considering it was believed to be a felony in progress) lives there...he asks for his IDENTIFICATION (lets face it, if he asked the guy if he lived there, and the guy said yes.....and he didn’t the officer would be answering a complaint that he didn’t properly investigation a burglary). After the male throws a temper tantrum (including calling and asking for the chief of police...I am going to call the President of Harvard University Tomorrow and I better get right through....YA RIGHT) he provides a WORK I.D. (which the officer could have demanded a state issued I.D., Harvard is not a state school so don't go down that road). The officer probably sick of this rich, over educated, empowered moron and decided to leave (AFTER GIVING HIM HIS NAME TWICE) and Professor I am going to get the last word in) FOLLOWS HIM OUT SIDE and continues to be belligerent. However, now it is on public property...and this is NOW A CRIME (refer to above crimes which I posted since half of u people apparently did not read the police report, so I did want to assume you'd look into the crimes). Nowhere in that law does is say "professors of Harvard University are exempt from this law". I won’t deny that race is an issue, but this incident is NOT. He wasn't randomly picked out of a crowd and harassed...the police were called there. Also, this Sgt. was assigned to ADMINISTRATION, which means he promoted and had common sense and good judgment. It also means that he is not just randomly driving around the city and asking people to call in fake burglaries so he can respond. I would like to have seen if this occurred different, say the home was being burglarized (for the second time, read the report) and the cop DID NOT identify the male inside...then this professor would call and complain that it wasn't investigated right (he would also probably say it wasn't investigated right because he was black..But I digress). This officer had to satisfy the investigation and he did and attempted to leave. Professor Moron decided he wasn't done...Massachusetts General Law cites that he was...under chapter 272.53. And you can argue judgment about "he is a professor, he is an upstanding citizen etc.." but if it is good enough for the loud college drunk guy who refuses to leave when told (and you call because he woke up your kids at 2:30 A.M.) then it is good enough for the professor, and me and you.
Also, what if the professors wife served him with divorce papers (and no the police don't get a copy of those) and decided he(the professor) was going to kill her (professors snap and kill too read here and forced his way into his OWN home.
Also, read
http://www.odmp.org/
And tell me how many cops get killed at burglaries...and if the officer was a little on edge..you MIGHT understand why...they are humans...who for 45,000 a year base pay will die to protect you and your family...and if that’s not enough...call Professor Gates when your house gets burglarized next, not the "racist" police....
Ok, that was my post on Boston.com, Hence so swearing until this point. That is changing….NOW
See, I get pissed when someone ASSUMES racism is the reason. And I will not deny racism exists, I will not deny that prejudice is alive in well in ALL FORMS; Race, gender, age, sexual orientation, class etc. But I cannot fucking tolerate someone turning something into an issue that isn’t. THIS ISN'T RACISM.Hell, I got stopped by a black police officer before (my inspection sticker fell off, I guess Mass. Registry didn’t want to pay the extra .32 cents per million stickers. And as soon as I produced it and explained…he politely apologized and let me go. I told him he didn’t have to apologize…because it made sense as too why he stopped me. At NO POINT did I assume it was because I was white (at the time, I was around the corner from work..right in downtown Roxbury). Why, because I get the fact that they have a fucking job to do. He was a Motorcycle Cop, working traffic; I had no visible inspection sticker…END OF FUCKING LIST.
I think this guy was more aggravated about being a snobby Harvard Professor and ACTUALLY being accused of something. Here is a little advice asshole…even rich, upper crust, over educated douche bags break the law…so go pound sand. Seriously, I think Harvard needs to be petitioned to have this fucker fired…Just because he is an moron….How can you be that stupid, and work at a FUCKING SCHOOL!!!!! UGGGGGG..what is this world coming to…that’s it I am calling the president….I am sure I will get right though…

UPDATE: 7/23/09 - A President says what?????????????????

Umm....is he serious. read this first please; http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090723/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_harvard_scholar

Ok, lets start with the most IMPORTANT QUOTE here "Obama called Gates a friend, and said he doesn't know all the facts of the case", errr...so why are you commenting. If you don't know all the facts, then WHY THE FUCK as the president of this country would you chime the fuck in. It took you almost a WEEK to chime in with the Iran thing, but this issue and your on it faster than a fat kid on a cupcake. Why would you say anything if you don't know the fact....here is why "Obama called Gates a friend"...UH huh, now I got it...he's a friend. Well, if my "friend" was arrested, I try to do a little research before I talk about it at a God Damned press confrence. This guy is supposed to be smart, why the fuck would he be this stupid. Here is another fun quote "Obama said, anyone would have been angry if treated the way Gates claims police in Cambridge, Mass"...in other words, any rich person who is politically connected would be upset if he was treated like a commoner. Again, Race is not the issue here it is being an elitist. Here is the top of the bull shit pile for me "What I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately". I love this because it says "this isn't a race issue, but because he acted like an asshole rich guy, I have to spin it to BE a race issue to protect his rich ass...HE WASN'T STOPPED by the Cambridge Police, They were called to his HOUSE! By a citizen who thought she was doing THE RIGHT THING!. The police didnt know that his house had been previously broken into and that he had to force it open after his trip. The CITIZEN did not know that his door was messed up. FOR FUCK SAKE knock it off, the lesson learned here is that if your rich, tired and feel that you don't want to deal with some middle class police sgt., then when they police goto your house to investigate a burglary in progress, show them your I.D. (they have to prove you live there so they don't leave a criminal inside to steal your shit, or worse, to attack you when you get home) and shut up. Don't follow them into public, screaming how important you are and commit a crime (Disorderly Conduct). I know that Gov. Deval Patick made some comments to, but considering I have absolutely no respect for him, I will not comment. Oh and one last quote from the president "starting with Gates apparently forgetting his keys and jimmying the door. Police responded appropriately at first"...ok so you KNOW they were supposed to be there, Gates acted like some sort of SUPER-DOUCHE and your STILL GOING TO SUPPORT HIM. If this was a middle class/poor person (pick gender an race for this statement...because it could be any or all of them). There would be no conflict. They would have been arrainged, enter a plea and no news coverage.

OH, I almost forgot, if your gonna say "Hey Shaun, why did they drop the charges" I am going to say "Its because Havard University dumps so much money into the city of Cambridge, you better believe that Gate's 1 call from Cambridge PD was to the president of Harvard saying something like "Hey, we own there middle class asses, tell them to stop", I might be paraphrasing a bit....but it was close!

UPDATE - 7/24/2009 - The Douchebaggery Continues...

lets check these two out.
WCVB - Channel Five

One is the article in which the 2nd officer on scene with Sgt. Crowley states that the call went by the book. Also, you can watch the Lawyer from the police Union give the press confrence. My favorite part of this is Channel 5's retarded statment

"Cambridge police have been defending themselves against allegations of racial bias for arresting Gates in his own home for disorderly conduct even after officers realized he was there legally. The charge was dropped five days later."

One crime does not effect the other in this case. Yes he was NOT burglarizing his home...and that is a fact. He did however, go OUTSIDE of his home and begin ranting, raving, and yelling that all of this was racially motivated, actions that eventually amounted to an arrest for disorderly conduct. I would love them to poll EVERY COURT in the state and see how many charges are filed for disorderly conduct in a week. People would be surprised that it happenes alot. ...BUT Channel 5 won't put that one there...I didn't think so.

And now watch this one - Channel Five Deval Patrick Interview

Its FREE EM ALL DEVAL PATRICK running his stupid mouth off. He called this incident "Every black man's nightmare"...what is? Breaking the law and being arrested? Here is a little hit Deval (you scumbag), Every criminal's nightmare is being arrested after committing a crime. Its not just the black guys that have to worry about it. I wouldn't have jumped on this so face (I might have) if he said "every non-white persons nightmare" but seriously if your going to scream racial profiling, involve some other races to be profiled with the black guys you ASS. Thats just as racist to imply that other races are immune to racial profiling, and only black guys are effected.

I will again maintain that I do not think that ANY of this stemmed from race (did I mention that Sgt. Crowley taught racial profiling awareness in the police academy), but if your going to twist it, don't be so racist that you think you'd be the only race effected by it. FUCK!!!! am I the only person who can see this????

Oh, and the whole "voice your opinion in your own how without risk of arrest", DEVAL, you are a lawyer, why would you start down this road. I mean all the rapists you got off in Florida, and you can't even put up a good defense for disorderly. He was OUT SIDE OF HIS HOME you douche. And he can voice his opinion in his home, howevery under Ch. 272 s. 53 of the M.G.L. if he was loud enough, and continued on in a manner that disturbed the neighborhood, he could be charged with "keeper of a disorderly house". So, he has the right to voice his opinion, just as the general public has the right to not be alarmed, annoyed and a right to peace in the neighborhood.

I am sure the rant will continue on this mattter.

Update 7/24/2009 (At night) - He's not Lance Armstrong, Cause he is back peddling

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_harvard_scholar

The only thing I can say, is NO SHIT. You should've just daid "I don't have a comment, as it does not pertain to me". But you didn't and now your gonna just do a verbal run around like a political jack ass.

U.N. der pressure

2009-06-25T10:07:00.000-07:00

Ok, I have sat and been quiet. Its been months since I brushed off the old BLOG and took it out for a spin. For reasons I can not explain (laziness, aggravation etc.) I have not had the urge to post. I was trying to change the direction of my posting's from aggravated, watch dog (OK, more like a listening cat) to comedic, up beat happiness. I was getting more and more frustrated with everything in life, and decided to let things beyond my control (media, Government, celeb's, etc..) not annoy me. It is amazing how repressing such things can causes eye twitching, stiff neck, headache's and general discomfort. Well, no more will I not hide faceless behind a keyboard. And now I feel more inspired to write than ever. And the first order of business is to kick the U.N. (United Nations) in the nuts (which they do not really have).

Iran, North Korea.....Iran, North Korea.....Iran,North Korea....IRAN it is. Ok, first and foremost take a quick second to think of those poor people. They were born into a place where the Supreme Leader (Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) was chosen by Allah. The long and short of it is that if he (Khamenei) says it, than it is gods will (It is probably best that I don't have this ability). So, apparently someone got a hold of the "god" phone and pranked the shit out of him. They must have said something to the effect of "hold a fake, unfair election. Screw over your people (even more than usual) and then beat the be-Allah (that's bejesus for christians) out of them when they become upset.

Now the elections (as I am sure you know) was between Incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (from the Douche bag party I believe) and reform Douche Bag candidate ir-Hossein Mousavi Khameneh. Sadly, in Iran this was their only options. This is because the Supreme Leader picks the candidates on his own and lets the people vote which of the two they want....and by vote I mean he PICKED Ahmadinejad, and let Mousavi run....to...ummm....well, give him something to do. It was a close election with SOME PRECINCTS report over 100%. What a turn out, when more people vote than are registered. That is freaking awesome! A.C.O.R.N. must have been hard at work over there. So, Mousavi lost. It was close..it had to be because it took the Iranian Government and entire 2 hours after the polls closed to announce that they counted all of the PAPER, HAND WRITTEN ballots to declare Ahmadinejad the winner. And after the obvious democratic partial and fair day long recount.... it was once again declared that Ahmadinejad had again won. No matter who won, the Iranian people were hosed. Since, both candidate where no prom date. Ahmadinejad is certifiable and well "Bat Shit Crazy" and Mousavi is only a little bit less radically crazy.

Well at some point between getting hosed and getting fucked over the citizens of Iran decided enough was enough. They took to the streets in peaceful protest (It really was at the beginning). They were upset that the lesser of the two evil's was not given a fair shot. I don't blame them.

I have learned alot about Iran lately. between media, research online and what my dog tells me (he lives and breathes international politics) Iranian Citizen and American's are not all that different. The average age of the country is 33, they are extremely well educated, Modern (considering they are constantly held back by their Government) and pretty nice people. I know that their maybe a ton of difference between the two countries, however, the people in Iran seem to generally embrace the freedoms they have and yearn for a more democratic life style to be able to have more freedom.

So, not we come to back to the Ayatollah. He stated that the partial recount was done, Ahmadinejad was and is going to be president and that is that. He also advised that people need to stop protesting or else. This was about a week after the "or else" had already started by the way. You see at this point, the Basij (paramilitary militia) was already out in full force beating people into a pulp, shooting people, imprisoning people and well generally being really Dickish. And I do not blame the Basij as individuals. This is a LEADERSHIP that stones people to death, cut off hands and all that fun stuff. But I blame their leader ship. I know they act out of fear, however, at some point someone has to say "FUCK, I just clubbed Bob from down the street" and make a stand. It is a tremendous blight on mankind.

Now that being said, its time to target who I am REALLY pissed at..our friends at the United Nations. I have one question for the U.N....WHAT THE FUCK! Why is it that everytime something actually happens you morons do your best Hellen Keller. Seriously! Can someone point out the last time the U.N. was useful! It is the same fucking dog and pony show every time. Something happens on the international community, and WE (The U.S.) are forced to look like dicks because we ACTUALLY say something.

Now, I did not vote for President Obama, and I thought he was a tad slow to react. I am not going to venture a guess as to his stratedgy on this. If he was waiting to see where it was going, if he was weighing options or just wasn't sure what to say. I know there was speculation that he was afraid that if he said something, the Iranian Government would turn it around and blame the U.S. for the protests. Here is a little hint, we were going to get the blame anyhow. I knew it, and I am not that smart!

That being said, WHY THE FUCK did the U.N. not go to the forefront of this and make a statement and take the reigns. because it was not CONVEINIENT to them. Just as with EVERY Security Resolution they pass (I'll get going on N. Korea in a bit), they don't do shit. That leaves the U.S. and a few other countries to act. And if we did not, then we are ostricized, criticized and every other "icized" on an international level. While they just sit on their ass and collect a paycheck. The U.N. is the international Bernie Madoff. We give them ass loads of money to be apart of this, and they take our money, and don't give us anything in return (Ok, we probably have a nice office somewhere at the U.N. headquarters in New York). The U.S. and a few other countries need to tell them to put up or shut up. Put on your light blue beret's and take a stand. I am sick and tired of hearing "The U.N. put trade embargo's and sanctions on country A and B". and then a month later, we find out that countries that are apart of the U.N. are selling items to these countries that are forbidden (France and Russia, remember when we found new equipment in Iraq after the war started that France and Russia produced and sold to them. And the equipment was on the forbidden list...ya amazingly that information went away fast too).

Which brings me to N. Korea. Its kinda like Iran, except instead of Supreme Leader, its Dear Leader (Kim Jong Il). And instead of the supreme leader talking to god, Dear Leader pretty much thinks he is. He is a tyrant leader who as done NOTHING but defy international law set by the U.N., shocking I know. Now he has a couple of rockets that MAYBE Nuclear and he is insinuating that he is going to launch one toward Hawaii on July 4 (or around then, I don't think he has a daily planner to keep track of dates). Now, first of all, I think that he is a dying man, that will take a chance of blowing some shit up before he goes. Just to say he did it. I believe there is a direct connection (hence the defensive rockets we have in place now) between July 4 (Our independance day if you forgot) and Hawaii (Pearl Harbor). I think that in his sick and twisted mind, if we enforce the U.N. Resolution regarding shipping (which we will have too, because no other country appears to be helping out...) then we created an act of war (thanks U. N.) and he will and I quote "If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all".

Now, that being said, lets look at a few facts. As much as we know about N. Korea, there is assloads more that we DO NOT KNOW. They have purposely been shut off from the international community, only releasing what they want. We are FAIRLY sure they have a rocket, than can go nuclear and can travel about 4,500 km (crap, they use the metric system....shit I think it is about 4 million miles...) Ok, either way it is seriously enough that we had to put counter measures into place. And even though I have MUCH faith in our countermeasures, I also wouldn't underestimate that this Asshole has a dirty bomb in Hawaii so he can set it off, and say our countermeasures failed. Just to make his regime look better, even to his own people. And the U.N. does nothing. I don't see them doing much more than sitting there say PLEASE. while we have a missile pointed at our face, and again, as much as we THINK we know...we aren't that sure. If we were positive of the missile and its inability to reach Hawaii, then we wouldn't have defense missile's there. and they U.N. does nothing. I am going to toss out a role play here. In this Role Play, the U.N. is the police department, N. Korea is an Angry Ex-Husband and Hawaii is the Ex-Wife. read it through.....

U.N. - "Police Department, can I help you"

Hawaii - "Yes, my husband is standing a football field away. He has a hunting rifle and a scope pointed at my head. He says if I do anything to make him mad..he'll shoot."

U.N. - "is the gun real?"

Hawaii - "I don't know"

U.N. - "Well ma'am if you want, we can tell him not to shoot"

Hawaii - "Can you just take his gun away, he is mentally insane, and I don't know how good of a shot he is"

U.N. - "Well, if you want..you can get a gun too and point it back at him"

Hawaii - "Thats fine, but why can't you send the police, swat team etc. to stop him so I do not die"

U.N. - "Well ma'am how about this, We will vote on a resolution stating that he can not have the gun, or transport the gun. And based of the resolution we will give all the cops the right to stop him and frisk him...but they won't. Your just going to have to check for the gun yourself.

Hawaii - "Ummmm.....what if he said that he is going to test fire the rifle and maybe a few other guns in the area of our neighbors house"

U.N. - "and?"

Hawaii - "You guys don't really care"

U.N. - "Well we care, but not enough to take action...that would look bad if we just arrested him and took his guns away"

Hawaii - "Do you have the phone number for the ambulance, I might need them soon"

U.N. - "Call 411, have a nice day"

Now, I know that that is a real scaled down example, but the point is there. I mean seriously, can the U.N. just fucking do something. If not, thats fine, but they better not ask for help they next time they feel frisky and want to do something. And when will we as a country stand up to them and say fuck off....probably when we end up in North Korea on a U.N. peace keeping mission and find illegal weapons and equipment sold to them by Russia.

Well, let me know what you think below!

2008-10-25T09:18:00.000-07:00

Ya, I know a little weak. But there are a million things being blogged about that are serious right now, that I don't feel the need to beat the horse anymore. I have been SO aggravated with society lately, that I won't be involved in the banter. This time, its just gonna be silliness. So, agree or not, here are things I wish I had that only exist (and mostly exist) in Movies:

10. Rodney Dangerfields Putter from Caddyshack.
Lets face it, my golf game sucks as it is. But my Achilles heel, toes arm and back is my short game. I have NONE to speak of. So this little bad ass would certainly save me at least 6-7 shots a hole. Bringing my overall score on any hole from a 15 to a 9, now that's an improvement. With a scope, "Laser" guidance and just general baddassery I think every self respecting terrible golfer would KILL for one of these in the bag. KISS MY ASS BILLY BAROU!

9. Bumblebee from Transformers.
UP YOUR GAS STATIONS. First, no gas RIGHT...RIGHT. Serious, this is a true HYBRID, eat your heart out HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. Not only do we not have to stop to get gas, we don't have to stop for ANYTHING, and get to look PRETTY bad ass doing it. Wouldn't it be the balls, driving down the highway, some asshole cuts you off and gives you the finger ...your pissed right. Well, that's were my little buddy Bumblee comes in and gives him the fingers, then kicks the hell out of the 1989 Dodge Avenger, with optional A/C. Your gonna need A/C when Bumblebee drops an ASS KICKING on you. EAT YOUR HEART OUT K.I.T.T.

8. Maxwell Smart's Phone booth.
Ok, I haven't worked out all the kinks on this one. Logistically it would be a nightmare to have it moved to where ever you need it, and SERIOUSLY to have the holes in the ground at all those spots would be difficult. But, lets look beyond that and to the fact that what better way to escape, from everything. Picture, if you will, walking down the street and DAMN here comes that PAIN IN THE ASS NEIGHBOR that just wants to talk to you about shit you could care less about. Well, step into your phone booth my friend and BUH-BYE. GONE. No more ridiculous conversation as to why the neighbor on the other side is not cutting his lawn short enough...therefore saving you from having to hide ANY bodies. Viola~

7. The Fedora from Indiana Jones.
Nothing more than the fact that I think I'd look BAD ASS in a Fedora!

6. Doc Browns DELOREAN from Back to the future
1.21 JIGGAHOTTTT, right. And the one from part 2, that has the Mr. Fusion on it. This is important because I can't find Plutonium ANYWHERE, and we all remember the difficulty in finding the lighting strike. I wouldn't use this for evil like Biff did, Doc would CERTAINLY not approve. But I think we all would change the little things. Would it not be great to alter just a FEW little things. Like, for instance, doing stupid things as a kid, asking someone out, car accidents, financial choices, TATTOO's etc. you get the point. I know we could all go back and MAKE ourselves rich, but seriously, everyone would do it and NOBODY would be rich...we'd all have as much money as the next person. So I wont Entertain it for a minute. And careers and people could be saved. You bust in to the movie studio just before Kevin Costner signs the WATERWORLD contract and save him from the worst downward spiral EVER. "STOP, Kevin..don't do it man. Field of Dreams 2 is the far better choice. Seriously put the pen down and step away from the FLOP". There are so many other people that could be saved, but honestly, don't we all somewhere just feel a LITTLE bad for Kevin.

5. Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon.
Ok, who doesn't want this. Not only the fastest hunk of junk in the Galaxy, but a WOOKIE who owes a life debt to you!!! You can almost ALWAYS jump into light speed (except for the occasional sabotage), smuggling bay's, a bad ass cockpit, laser turrets and constantly outrunning imperial cruisers...I am SO in. Not to mention the hi jinx you and Chewy can get into...THE AWESOMENESS IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE!

.4 The "Ring" from he lord of the rings
Its kinda along the lines of the Get Smart Phone booth only more practical. I could have used this more as a teen, when I knew I was in trouble and my parents were coming and just before they arrived "BOOM" ring on and invisible. I am sure, there is that whole "hunger for power issue" but I think that issue is apparent with this whole list, so what the hell right. Even as an adult, you know this would come in handy. Sitting in the cubicle at work, day just started, your reading my blog and you can hear Bill Lumbergh (that's right an OFFICESPACE reference) and poof, invisible baby..and you could even snap his suspenders and he'd never no you were there....SWEET. Now right now don't picture the part where he is showing you his "O" face holding the coffee....TOO LATE.

.3 Red Sox season tickets from "Fever Pitch"
Ok, This may not be out of the realm of possibility. I mean season tickets are out there somewhere. But where the tickets were is the key. SECTION THIRTY, 10 or so rows back, about six or seven feet from the dugout. OH YES, the dream is there. These are the tickets that usually go to celeb's, politicians or other people who don't appreciate them enough. PLUS, free sponges from AL WATERMAN!!!!!! Take me out to the Mutha F*$kin Ball Game!

.2 The Force.
Not the Throat Choking, lightening throwing DARK SIDE. I am talking about good old fashion, Yoda Lovin' lightside. Again, I don't want the ability to choke people from afar, I want to reach the remote if it is more than 3 feet from me. SERIOUSLY, does it not seem there is a strange power in the universe that places your remote just far enough away that your would HAVE to get up from where you just sat down. Other applications, buying a car. Knowing EXACT bullshit the salesmen was tossing. "You don't need to check my credit, these are not the percentage rates we are looking for...cut a deal" and BOOM car at dealer cost (I don't condone stealing it for under its cost, that's JUST WRONG). Or, if you ACCIDENTALLY land the Millennium Falcon in a swamp and it sinks BOOM...grab that swampy bastard right out of there. too tired to play catch with the kids/dogs, you can play FORCE CATCH and keep them entertained while you sit on your ass....

.1 Brewsters Millions!!!!!
BECAUSE I HATE MY FUCKING JOB!

"Manny-delay Bay"

2008-07-31T15:37:00.000-07:00

That is just one "witty" new paper headline that will probably be written in regards to the 3 way deal with Manny Ramirez for Jason Bay. These will be the same writers that will now trash Manny for the next week or so in the Boston Area. Also will be heard the first few times Jason Bay either hits a home run or makes a nice catch is "But, he is NO Manny Ramirez". And before you jump on the BYE BYE MANNY band wagon lets get a few things out in the open.

Manny needed to go, his agent wasn't happy in Boston. Scott Boras, Manny's agent, felt that he could make more money that Boston was going to offer. When I say he, I mean Boras. If you can't smell what I am stepping in right here I am saying "Scott Boras has fueled Manny's little temper tantrum of recent times". See, Boras is the most hated of all agents in baseball. He is a tough negotiator and usually gets what he wants, and when he doesn't he gets his players to jump ship. Manny is the easiest on because, I have said this along time, Manny is a child. He is easily led by the nose, and Boras knows this cash cow only has 3-4 more years of mooing. He figures get him out now, and make it seem the team is to blame. This will make it easier to get another team to give him a good contract, henceforth, Boras gets paid. I am sure that he had to work hard, because as we all know, Manny loves being Manny, and people would over look his run of the mill lunacy and not pay attention. So, its onto slamming the team, and making funny signs to hold up on TV. It is about cash, not winning. If it were about winning Manny would be in a Cubs Uniform or a Angels Uniform (they both need 1 more big bat and they are both contenders)

Now, I want to be the first to THANK Manny for allowing us to witness 2 World Series Rings. We all stood and cheered during walk offs, big home runs, the occasional GREAT assist and his goofy disposition. I know everyone is going onto that "I never liked him" truck. I am hearing it 2 1/2 hours after the trade on the west coast. But lets face it, Fenway went NUTS when Manny came to bat in big situations, the man is the active leaders in RBI's. He was true in the box, never cheated him self. He studied his craft, it is probably the only thing he takes serious. He is a student of the game, with his nasty dreads flying around and the silly stocking cap. I loved him on the field, and I will miss his bat. I wish HIM nothing but luck, because he is honestly just the cog in the Boras Engine. Manny will be in the hall of fame, and he will probably do it in a Red Sox uniform, because he won't remember this soap opera. I will cheer that day, and hope he never beats us before then. I know Manny needed to leave, he was a distraction. The team wasn't happy and its time. I am not blind to reality, I am just one who remembers what he DID on the field, and that's why I love baseball.

Now the Red Sox also lose, Craig Hansen and Brandon Moss. Hansen is going to me a GREAT middle reliever mark my words. He will probably be Mike Timlin in his prime a year or to. He has come leaps and bounds this year, and he WILL beat us at some point in his career. Brandon Moss at best is a journeymen outfielder. Decent glove, slow light bat. He may steal a home run from us, who knows.

In return we get Jason Bay. He has been in the major's since 2004. He was the NL Rookie of the year. He is a catalyst player. He is NOT MANNY. He is a tough, wall running into guy. He is about 5 years younger and about 16 Million a year cheaper. He has good pop in the bat, decent RBI guy and can steal the occasionally bag. He is a good outfielder, who can track a ball well. He has some good years left and he probably can hit 500 Home runs if he stays on course, though he is susceptible to left handed pitching, which Manny was not. But in Boston, the writers will eat him up, and constantly say he isn't Manny. Which is sad, but so aren't the writers.....................................Oh and the first time Joe Buck, Joe Morgan or John Miller say "I bet there missing Manny now" when the game is on the line, I am smacking them.

That poor Fire Fighter! INJURIES SUCK

2008-07-15T08:45:00.000-07:00

Ok, I know I have not posted in a long time. Part of it was lack of inspiration, the other part was me not caring too much. But this can not and will not be overlooked. I tried. My brother in law Chuck emailed this to me and I sat on it for a day. Partially to see if it enraged me enough to sit and type my aggravation out, the other part was me trying to find a little bit of good in it. Well, as my unemployed ass sat in bed last night, I couldn't help but think "what a dick head, your a injured firefighter getting 100% tax free". That's right, as a fire fighter in mass, if you are hurt on the job, you get 100% tax free until you can return to work or retire out. If you retire out injured, at my last check it, is the average of your top 3 years of by, multiplied by 72% and that's what you get. No taxes taken, you get health care and a few other little things. That is (and rightfully so) a thank you from the state to police officers and fire fighters who injure themselves in the line of duty and can not work any longer. I know this because, I worked with plenty of people police and fire that HAD to take it. Personally, my father had a stroke as a police officer. His doctor stated that it was work/stress related. The cities doctor stated otherwise...guess who won!! Ya, I am a tad bitter on this subject. So now onto injured fire fighter turned professional body builder Albert Arroyo. If you know the story read on, if not here is the link to the story.

Now, first of all I am no FIRE FIGHTING BASHING. I have a few friends in the business and I will be the first to state that I would take a gun toting lunatic against a fire burning ANY DAY. A fire and not be rationalized with, a lunatic can be on one level or another. Fire Fighters in general are ALMOST as wonderful as the news makes them out to be. Honestly no group could live up to the hype set forth by today's media when it comes to Fire Fighters.

So Albert I have two questions, is your IQ the same number as you placed in the competition (number 8) and WHAT THE F*^k. How friggen arrogant can one man be. Its not like you called in sick to go to the RED SOX game or to go to your kids school play. YOU COMPETED IN A NATIONAL BODY BUILDING competition. Were you confident that there was no camera's there or press coverage. What if you won, its not like you competed under an assumed name. You DOLT! Are you that good of a guy where you never pissed ANYONE OFF, so you were confident NOBODY IN THE WORLD would turn you in. ASSH*OLE.

Ok, that made me feel a LITTLE better. now let me jump pages to his Lawyer, James S. Dilday (that joke writes itself). This obvious ambulance chaser, who consulted ARROYO, but had not been hired by him (I don't believe that) states "The bodybuilding helped him cope, emotionally and physically, with the travails and rigors of working as a firefighter". Ok, keep going you should now say "UNTIL HE HURT HIS BACK THEN HE COULD NOT LIFT WEIGHTS"...say it damn it...SAY IT. Where the hell is Sam Kinison when you need him. This guy would be F^*king fired already for not coming up with a better line. It wasn't even a Boston Fire Fighters Union Lawyer, that's how you know this is such B*LL SHIT, his own brothers and sisters aren't coming to his aid.

Now back to Arroyo, 'cause I ain't done yet. He got on the job (slang for started work) in 1986. His current salary is $68,133, that's not peso's my friends. So, I spoke earlier of how the injury retirement would go. If he RETIRED with an injury it is the average of his top 3 years of pay multiplied by 72%. But he is out INJURED, still on the job. So he gets %100 tax free.I needed help figuring what he was making but thanks to quicken, Microsoft money and my toes I came up with this figure, $68,000 give or take a few hundred. Oh, and medical coverage and what ever else any other active fire fighter received. That is what he got paid to get ready for this competition. if he retired it would be close to that, not to mention the public servant equivalent of a private 401K that HE pays into (I wouldn't argue that he should get that), health care, and a nice watch, and a party at St. Florians Hall (The Boston FF union/function hall).

And, again, its not like this guy was a front line JAKE (slang for fire fighter) running into burning buildings. He was a fire fighter assigned to be a BUILDING INSPECTOR. He isn't the guy or gal that jumps off the truck, turn out gear (fire fighting gear) grabs an axe and saves granny from a 4th alarm fire. He is the guy that is going to show up and tell you your sprinkler system sucks.

So, Congrats on coming in 8th Arroyo, cause in my heart you are the 1st place ASSH*OLE.

(oh, and if this was a cop it would have made NATIONAL news and his family would be incarcerated with him. but that's a different story on why the news sucks and the double standard that happens there)

Dear Berkeley Follow up

2008-03-11T12:01:00.000-07:00

For anyone who hasn't seen, Rob Riggle and the Daily Show did a KICK ASS report on the Berkeley protests against the Marines. Just search Rob Riggle and Berkeley from Google and it is one of the first responses. Too funny, but it also shows the insanity that is bred among this lunatics. Also, I have received NO response from any of the city council members I emailed, I guess that is the ultimate answer. So, I am also starting to forward the blog to major news sources, because I am sick of this shit.

Kona's First Search and Rescue Training

2008-03-03T20:49:00.000-08:00

Well everyone, we had Kona's first training Session on 3.2.08 and it went great. We were able to see the too initial types of training. First we went on an AIRSCENT search where the dog essentially covers a "grid" area and uses his or her nose to locate a "victim". The shepard we went with covered about 1/4 square mile and located the "victim" in about 13 minutes or so. The second was a trail, following foot prints like a blood hound would, and that was about 3/4 of a mile and the dog located the "victim" in about 40 minutes. I think Kona and I will try and learn airscent, it is a more used search type and longer "deployments" during a search.I will add the slideshow from my Flikr Page as well as a video that of Kona's first runaway. It is a very basic trial that tests his want and ability to learn. He did very well and the trainer said that she did not think he would do well. So here ya go enjoy:)

Dear Berkeley California, FUCK OFF

2008-02-26T23:39:00.000-08:00

First, READ THIS LINK ~ http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/07/berkeley.protests/ and when you are done, read on.

So, I was going to have this blog be a happy, fun going, YAY entry. I have had a lot of good things in life, Work, Home, Family and Friends that is going great. I was trying to decide if I should write about starting Search and rescue training with Kona (see earlier blog) or my friends having their first baby, or doing a blurb about family and the meaning of it....then the rage built. I have been thinking about those assholes down in Berkeley. I tried to fight but to quote David Banner "Mr. Mcghee, don't make me angry....you wouldn't like me when I am angry". And here I go.................................

Dear Berkeley California, FUCK OFF. Love Shaun. See, I started this blog to chronicle some of my life in trying to adapt in politically correct California. As many of you know, I grew up in a far different place in Massachusetts near Boston. I grew up with several morals, one of which you stand up for you country no matter what. Remember 9-11 (I hate throwing that around to ground peoples mind) and how we all felt, I honestly feel like that all the time. My country is the best, and I am allowed to post on here and say what ever I want because millions of Soldiers gave their life for me to be able to do it. Not just the current Iraq war, but all of our conflicts. There were soldiers who didn't know me or my family from a hole in the ground, but they fought tooth and nail and many paid the ultimate sacrifice for me and you to be able to walk around saying what we want and believing what we want. NOW PAY SOME RESPECT!!

Ok, you don't support the Iraq War, fine. I appreciate that. I have to admit that there are certain things that I don't agree with. But god strike me down if I don't believe in the Soldiers that are over there. They can set up a recruitment center in my living room if they want. I'll make the new recruits dinner as they come in and kiss there ass before they sit at my table. But for these lowlife, inbred, misguided DICKHEADS, I wanna punch them all in there Duodenum. And that is just the fucks that are protesting.

Now, the city council. Hi friends, your fucking fired. How the hell do you morons sleep at night? I'll tell ya WRAPPED IN THE AMERICAN FLAG. You boneheads are missing the point, you have free speech, the right of lawful assembly. You can have a giant antiwar march all over your backward ass city for all I care. JUST LEAVE THE MILITARY ALONE. There are young men and woman who understand the importance of country and freedom. For some its a way to give back to the country that has provided for them, and others its there only chance to lead a positive life. Whatever it is, they are ADULTS, you let them decide. God, I wish I lived in there so I could get the city so fire'd up at me they would show up with pitchforks and torches. That would be sweet. Oh and by the way, I have already wrote to my State Rep and Senators to have the University of California facility moved to a city that could use the money. Watch your property values and rental properties fall through the floor. Oh and the millions in commerce that Starbucks, Borders and other popular student hangouts are, GONE. Yup, they will follow the UC to the next city. Parking Citations, Moving Violations GONE. No one would be driving around there is some more money down the drain. Now, when that's all gone you'll be begging for a Marine recruiting station because you want the business. Piss off and get out of my country. Oh here is a link to the Berkely City Council.

Remember don't threaten them or anything crazy, because that is reason for them to get air time telling everyone how they were threatened for being a bold politician that stood up for change. That will fuel thier run for Governor or something like that. Just tell them how you feel, they are all getting a copy of my blog for their enjoyment. Seriously, I don't care where you live, email them and see if they respond, them forward them to me at splewis1977@gmail.com. I want to post them as well. To quote Roman Moroni from Johnny Dangerously "This is fargin war! ".

And for "CODE PINK" here is there website http://www.codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=3622.I don't know what to say about these idiots. Again, I am all for freedom of speech and right to lawful assembly, but DAMN don't shit on the ones who give you that right. Go protest the judge that lets a convicted sex offender walk, or a domestic violence suspect. Protest unfair wages for woman, or ANYTHING but this. don't turn a good idea and act (your speech and freedoms) in to acts of outright lunacy and stupidity.

Now, as far as the poor Marines who pulled a shit assignment and got stuck dealing with these jackoffs, I can not find direct email to them. So, the next servicemen or servicewoman you see, thank them, kiss their ass and make them dinner, that's is what I would do:)
Shaun

PS~ This is one I want feedback on. Please leave comments and REALLY email those councillors. thanks! Oh and in case you don't think I am all about this, I have forwarded a link to the Berkeley City Council.

"New dog in the house, incumbent dog wants a recount - News at 11."

2008-02-11T07:41:00.000-08:00

Well, He is surely big, smart and Handsome. But enough about me from a third person prospective, Everyone meet Kona, our new 1 year old Chocolate Lab (a touch of Chesapeake Bay Retriever). He is about 65 lbs. right now and according to the vet "In perfect health".We recently adopted Kona from some people that did not long have the time to give him. Here he is in pictures from an obedience training session.

Lola, as seen here, is just as excited about our decision to add a new dog to the family. Actually, she has been doing so well, and we are so proud of her. She has surely let him know who's house he is in, but also has let him get comfortable in his new digs. We were a little nervous, since she has always been a little screwy with other dogs, however, I think she is enjoying having her personal bodyguard around.

Kona and I found out that were are going to be accepted into the VERY preliminary training for Search and Rescue Training though CARDA and we are excited. We have a lot to work to do to even make the apprenticeship program and then become ready to work, but he is smart and I think he will do fine....me on the other hand.....we'll see. All I know is in the short time we have had time he has done FANTASTIC with his obedience and trusting me. He really has excelled in numerous tasks, as you can see in the pictures. The ones in the field and the play structure are his "Training" pictures. One of the things I have been told for a working dog, is to get them as used to the unusual as possible. Let the dog know that he can go into whatever tell him to and trust that he won't get hurt. So, these are preliminary "tests" just to see where our trust and bond are. I'd say pretty good. Well, I got lots to do with the dogs (its off to the park and let them run run run). enjoy the slide show pictures, and please leave me your comments. Also, ignore the sound on the video, I was being nice

Also, a full Flickr slide show can be seen here: Kona and Lola

Happy New Year: Losing weight, and other resolutions I intend to break

2008-01-03T13:41:00.000-08:00

Well, here we are in the first week of January huh? Well don't worry about those resolutions, you'll break all of them soon. I know, I know, you want to be happy, healthier, better with money, new job.....stop me when I get to the one your either going to break, or already have broke. See, I think it is all a crock. I think your resolutions should be made on your birthday. YOUR new year, not the one you share with the masses. That way there would be far less pressure and more success. The way it is now, from December 31st until Feb 1st every A-hole and their mother asks you "whats you resolutions, you sticking with it..muahahahahahaha". To which I would like to answer "No, I didn't make any new ones this year probably because I rock and don't need fixing". Is it true? Partially, I like me, my values and who I am. I am sure that other people don't think so, but they don't have to live my life. But for the sake of argument here are some things I would change about me.....

1. "I am going to lose weight" - OK, I could probably lose to drop about 20 lbs., and then I think of the people at the food store, I start eating less what would happen to their bottom line? These people depend on me to keep food on their loved ones table, and I am a giver......So I can not let them down, I refuse.

2. "Come January 1, no more smoking" - That's right, I will not allow myself to be set on fire and have my body smoke for the sake of entertainment, what you thought I meant cigarettes??? HA HA HA

3. "I am going to be better with money" - No more putting it though the wash or pissing it away to charities, I am going keep it all for myself, I can take it with me when I die.

4. "I am going to treat me fellow man better" - I would never make this resolution because I understand that that woman are equally important, and I am not a sexist. So, try again.

5. "I am going to be better to the environment" - DONE, long before it was cool to drive a low gas mileage vehicle, and hug trees, I was driving a little 4 cylinder pick up that gets 27 mpg (I figured that out driving across the country) , Move over Al Gore, I want my Nobel Prize.

6. "I will remember that telemarketers are people too" - People that have no soul I may add. And I am not forgetting that. Go ahead call me when I am sleeping one more time and try to sell me a LARK........

7. "I am going to try and just be a better person and American" - This one is realistic. You see, were have become a society in which someone with a degree or a TV show constantly telling me how I should improve myself. Lose weight, quit smoking, worry about the environment etc... Here is a novel idea, TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF AND FAMILY, and then TAKE CARE OF THE COUNTRY. I am sick and tired of watching people disgrace themselves and my country. HAVE SOME DAMN COMMON SENSE, and do the right thing. Help people when they need it, REALLY NEED IT, get some self pride and pride in your country. I am not saying that people aren't proud, but they are only proud a few days a year, i.e. July 4th, 9/11, etc. That pride you feel those days to be an American, HAVE IT EVERYDAY. Where an American Flag pin on your suit, get an American flag sticker on your car, teach your children the rich history of this country. I am not saying you have to join the military, you don't have to you live in a country that has a voluntary service law. So don't disrespect the place that lets you be free. And if you don't feel this way, get up off your ass and run for government. It is your right! I don't agree with many politicians, I will defend to the death their right to say it.

So, that's it I am issuing everyone that challenge. Once a week, learn something new about our country and teach it to your kids if u have them. Read about the sacrifices American service men and woman, Law Enforcement, Fire Fighters and everyone else who have made sacrifices for us all the way back to the revolutionary war. I know this isn't a perfect nation, but look around we are one of the closest to being so. So, go wave a flag and Happy New YEAR....and I remind everyone to read my disclaimer on my first post if u don't agree.

The List Begins..................

2007-12-26T13:10:00.001-08:00

The list begins........

Ok, I have decided that 2008 is going to be the year of my dreams (thanks Disney). Through the course of this year, I am going to pick people that I wish would go away. Not die, just GO AWAY. I just want them ignored so they stop being in the public eye, making movies, causing me to wake up extremely scared etc.........

So, my first attack is one of my favorites. MICHAEL MOORE you rat bahstahd. I will post a little piece called "Travashamorckery" that I wrote a while ago in response to the film "Fahrenheit 9/11". See, here are my issues with Micheal in no particular order.

1. Here is a guy that constantly makes films 1 sided views about the very government that allows hims the rights to produce these steaming piles. And I support his right, I just think he is an ASSHOLE for exploiting this right in stead of embracing it. So, I am going to use the same right to publish this blog.

2. He is as fake as a pirates leg. This is a man who makes "documentaries" about current affairs, and uses major incidents to advertise. "Fahrenheit 9/11", "Bowling for Columbine" etc.....And he is so concerned about the people that he "stands up for" that he donates every dollar he makes to a cause that would directly help these folks...right?????WRONG. Here is a man that could make MILLIONS on the public speaking circuit and donate all the film proceeds to a good cause. HE doesn't, and I know that you are going to say that he donates some money. I am almost positive that the money he donates perfectly covers what he needs in order to get a healthy tax break.

3. If I wrote a book or directed a movie that supported the opposite of Michael, I would be called a hate monger or something along those lines. See here is the issue, and this is a political correctness rant so if you don't want to hear it look away. I am one of those people that call it like it is. EVEN if it isn't the popular opinion or "politically correct". We have so many people that are worried about peoples feelings being hurt, that they won't do what is best and right. Now, this is a statement that opens me up to ridicule. I am aware of this even as I type. I am not going to sit here and explain where I stand on every issue, but lets be realistic. I don't feel that we, as a country, should do whats is NICE in stead of what is RIGHT.

Ok, I know that I didn't really break any new ground. But I still hate him. I wish that he would read this, because I am not one to speak behind someones back, but alas I am a poor working slob and Michael is sitting in his big house that. So, if anyone knows Michael, do me a favor....Tell him he sucks, and give him my we page address and my phone number....I have a few issues with him I would like to speak to him directly about.

Well, as many of you know, The FACT FINDING (please click link before going on) mule that is Michael Moore has once again used a tragedy to make a buck for himself. The movie is called Fahrenheit 9/11 a in depth pile of Anti Government CRAP that would get him shot in just about any other country. But thankfully he lives in the U.S.A. and he does have the right to produce this pile of fodder and I won't argue that for a second. The problem I have is that he call this a DOCUMENTARY when it is in fact full of OPINION (as are all his movies) and shocking and heart wrenching footage that IRONICALLY was produced just before the elections. Funny, to me, if he wanted to relay the WHOLE TRUTH he would wait until the war was over and all the facts are in and compiled into single syllabic words for him to understand. This LOAD of a human being is using the Tragedy of 9/11 and of the War in Iraq to put some more grease riddled fast food into his annoyingly sad throat! Here is a list of 10 quick things that should be pointed out about Michael and his movie.Oh, I'll admit I didn't see this movie and I won't. The movie website alone proves my points with out having to spend hard earned money to line Mike the truth machines pockets!

# 10 and I quote from his movie site "One of the most controversial and provocative films of the year, Fahrenheit 9/11 is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination of the Bush administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11" OK, we are off to a running start here Mikey. If this is a documentary, why should it matter if you won an academy award? You are reporting FACTS aren't you? I stand corrected, you said right in your movie website that its YOUR SEARING examination, in other words it should be a book called "A morons Monday morning quarterbacking of what the US government did after 9/11 for dummies" Lets face it, I don't agree with every action the administration took after 9-11, but if you KNEW better you should have piped up then you bonehead!

# 9 Heres another heart warming passage from the movie site "With his characteristic humor and dogged commitment to uncovering the facts, Moore considers the presidency of George W. Bush and where it has led us." THANK GOD Michael and his mediocre sense of humor can bring COMEDY to these tragic events. oh, and DOGGED COMMITMENT TO UNCOVERING FACTS!?!?!?!?!?! any 11 y.o. with a p.c. can uncover these facts, there all public record. And if you uncovered classified information you should be tried as a traitor and shot!

# 8 And yet another passage "He looks at how - and why - Bush and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saudi connection to 9/11, despite the fact that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis" Well, is Michael suggesting that we attack the whole country for the actions of few. Well, Lets go Mike, you head over there and set up a battle plan against the Saud's, and we'll be right there. Oh Mike one Word "scimitar" look out!

# 7 "Fahrenheit 9/11 shows us a nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the USA Patriot Act, that infringes on basic civil rights." Your a tough guy to figure out Mike, I have heard you say in interviews that we "should have done more to prevent 9/11" and now we have the terror alert system which is in your words " A nation kept in constant fear by FBI alerts". Oh, and the Patriot Act, If you got nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. So, what are you hiding HIPPIE!

# 6 YOU ARE A TOOL MOORE! (OK thats not in the movie but I needed to vent)

# 5 One of the t.v. spots is of President Bush making comments about terrorism on a vacation golfing and then shows him saying "watch my drive" in a cut scene as to suggest that it was said all in ONE SENTENCE....WHEW I LOVE TRUTH RIDDLED DOCUMENTARY, I can see why you won that Oscar, you make great movies....not documentary's....MOVIES!!!!

#4 Where was his documentary on the Clinton Administration. You know the Administration that left the Bush Administration minimal facts about Bin-Lading and Al-Queada even though it was in office for 8 years nailing interns while Al-Queada was already operating?!?!?!?!?

#3 A little of topic, but this is the same guy that gave us the movie Bowling for Columbine. A fund raiser to help the families of people lost in the fatal and horrific shootings at the Columbine High School in Colorado right? WRONG an anti-American Movie that had no Benefit to the tragedy of the movies name sake, just another excuse for Moore to make money. But, his wallet was in the right place.

#2 "Fahrenheit 9/11 takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful human cost to U.S. soldiers and their families" Wow, thank god Mike is here to show us that with war comes hardship to families of soldiers and soldiers themselves. I NEVER would have known that there are brave Americans fighting for freedom of people they never met so that they may live a life and maybe make a movie about their government full of satire an not get there testicles cut off for doing so.

#1 This man is an idiot, he never ran a soup kitchen never mind an entire country. He doesn't know all of the facts, no body does. Some people know some facts and other people know other facts. But he acts as though he figured EVERY PART out on his own and he knows them by heart. I am SO disgusted that he is an American. He forgets that the very government he mocks provides him the safety and security to have free speech and live in his house with the money he makes off his film. He insults the very fabric of America by suggestion that we don't already know things like soldiers are dying, we need this LOAD of a human being to point it out. I AM INSULTED!

So, do yourself a favor folks, don't see this one side bed time story. the 16 dollars you and your loved ones were gonna pay to see this idiot on screen insulting you for 2 hours go to one of these charities and donate it then go home and be glad your American.

HO HO.....WTF!!!!!

2007-12-17T22:49:00.000-08:00

Well the holidays are approaching like faster than a fat kid chasing a ice cream truck. And what says "Merry Christmas" like the retail industry wondering why sales are down this year. Oh, I don't know, maybe because any and all cool gifts cost around the same as a kidney transplant on the black market. And it doesn't matter who you want to buy something for, its friggen expensive. Oh and they are complaining that "Black Friday" was was a little slow.....WELL it could be because people start Christmas Shopping earlier and earlier every year. This year I think Walmart was selling Christmas stuff around Martin Luther King Day. Plus who in their right mind wants to be in a store with people who have camped in front for 4 nights prior so they can save $19.00 on a $400.00 item. AAAARRRUUUGGGHHH.

But, thank goodness there are commercials that make you feel better for not being able to afford gifts for all the people who deserve one. Like the jewelry commercial. You know the one, the house is decorated, the mom dad and kids are sitting on the ouch. Junior then starts reading "A night before Christmas" Just as dad pops out a ring worth about $20,000. Ya, I can afford that. Just as soon as I sell one of my kidneys on the black market (See how I looped that joke around). And she starts crying and hugs. OK REALITY CHECK TIME, how about real life. When the poor bastard has to walk by the jewelry shop and strolls into the bargain basement to buy his wife slippers that are 2 different sizes and a "I'm got screwed on Christmas" Sleep shirt. Why, because the 2 little kids gifts got 20 gifts totaling the gross nation product of Luxemburg's (its in Europe, its so small the swiss army accidentally invaded it last year by taking a wrong turn...I am not exaggerating look it up.

So, my suggestion is as follows. Get a few small things for the kids, but teach em the reason for the holidays, not religion, not "Black Friday" and sales. Its Christmas, this is the time where adult and children come together and use the upcoming holidays as an excuse to do less work in school and work. You know this speech "Well, its December 12th, no one is gonna really do anything until after the New Year". I know EVERYONE has had a day like this. Where you chalk up and entire day of doing nothing at work or school because the holidays are approaching. The is the meaning of the holidays, Blowing sh*t off.......and spending money on people you haven't seen in 2 years.

Well, Happy Holidays, be safe and don't forget the real meaning....YOU FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS AND BEING Together. I know its sappy but true.

So, to all my family and friends who I can't be with, I MISS YOU, I LOVE YOU MERRY WHAT EVER YOU CELEBRATE.

Is Your kid a LOSER???? Its your fault

2007-12-03T14:51:00.000-08:00

One of the things that bothers me is that kids today don't know how to lose with class and dignity. How many times has a kid, who has never had to lose at a young age, get to high school or college and then GOES INSANE because they never learned that you don't ALWAYS WIN. Up until that point they have been coddled and been involved in games that EVERYONE WINS, except they don't win. They lost competitive spirit and drive and the ability to deal with rejection. TRUST ME I KNOW. As a chronic loser of dodge ball, The Fire Engine game, and duck duck goose at a young age, I learned that I had to toughen up and use my strengths. I honestly have carried that into my everyday life. Lets break it down and see what my problem was, and how I used it to my advantage later in life.

Dodge ball - Only the smart and slightly athletic shall survive.

I got my ass handed to me in dodge ball, from 1st grade until about 3rd grade. I just was not fast enough to dodge the ball that was thrown by a kid who has stayed back 4 years and is shaving in the 3rd grade. So, I changed my approach. Instead of trying dodge the ball, I went after the ball. I challenged that post pubescent freak and I started catching it right away and getting that overgrown bastard OUT. Accomplishing 2 things
a. He was out of the game early and no longer a threat.
b. I know had a ball, and it caused the other kids to run from me making it harder for them to hit me with a ball from a longer distance.

Now, I didn't win every game after figuring this out, but I lasted longer and longer as time wore on, and I did win a few.

Real Life Applications,

By learning to identify my weaknesses, and using them as strengths I learned over to over come my shortcomings and henceforth utilize me other strengths. I am not kidding, now I love a challenge and how I can adapt to succeed in something I am an not necessarily GREAT at.

The Fire Engine Game - The last one is out........game OVER

For those of you who don't know the fire engine game, here it is in brief. The class lines up against the gym wall. You then count off down the line in groups of four. So you now have kids wearing Velcro sneakers, tight jeans that are too short and a "My parents went to Hedonism and all I got was conceived" T-shirt, who have lost their identity and are now a number. So, the teacher would then yell "Fire Engine, Fire Engine Number (1,2,3,or4,). It was your job to use your sad imagination and run like hell to the other wall and NOT BE LAST or your out. This essentially simulated how the fire department operates I guess. So, I was not the fastest kid, probably because it was hard to run with my buck teeth causing wind resistance. I had to keep my mouth open since I had to make a Siren Noise with my mouth to mimic a Fire Engine on its way to a Fire. A fire that only the teacher could see, because I swear to this day she was drunk all the time, on the opposite wall of the gym. Also, if you ran when you number wasn't called, you are out of the game as well.

So I lost alot at first. Until I figured out that the teacher actually called the same pattern of number with regularity. I could almost predict when she was going to call my group. So, i had a decent first step which was important in a game of inches. Also, I would identify which kid in my group was slower and just keep staying in front of him no matter what.

Real Life Applications,

Being able to predict and react to a situation early, which in my chose profession is a good thing. Also, not "jumping the gun" and getting called out, which keeps me from sitting in the corner with the other rule breakers arguing over what day is "Pizza" day in the cafetorium.

DUCK DUCK GOOSE - where being different means your better haul ass

I think every one knows what DUCK DUCK GOOSE is. You sit in a giant circle (far away from the smelly kid who has swimmer ear and smells like nasty pond water), and you sit INDIAN STYLE. Not Criss Cross Applesauce or what ever they teach kids these days. After the HUGE screwing the white man put on the Native Americans, at least we could do is name a sitting position after them. One kid walks around the circle patting the other kids on the head. As he or she did this she would say "DUCK, DUCK, DUCK' until he or she chose one kid and called them "GOOSE" simultaneously SLAPPING THE SHIT OUT THEM, hoping it would cause temporary paralysis or memory loss. The "GOOSE" now has to chase that over zealous slapping prick around the circle 1 complete time. The head slapping bastahad then tries to get to the original seating position before getting tagged by the GOOSE. On a side note, instant replay would have rocked in this game, because my winning percentage would have gone up about .400 or so.

Again, my speed was an issue here. I have alway said I was not built for speed. So, I had to use other things. Since there was no set pattern, I had to expoit different ways to win this game.

a.The head slapper usually slowed down before selecting the goose. Think about it, every game you every round of this game you have ever played, the slaphole would slow up for a second to decide whether or not they would actaully knock the next kid silly. I was usually half up as I got my goose slap.

b. Running in a circle, there is centrifugal force. Now, I didn't know the exact words used to decribe it at 7 years old. But I related it to being on a merry go round. The faster you went the harder it was to stay in the middle and hold on. So I tried to stay as close to the circle without stepping one of my class mates and catch the amnesia causing punk.

Again, did I always win NO. But I increased my chances by using my strengths and exploiting the others kids idiosyncrasies.

There real life applications is this is simple. It helped me learn how to read people and the quickest way around a circle is tighter to the middle. The latter is weak but it works.

It may seem like a feeble point, however, these few competitive games taught me that I didn't win and just by showing up. A fact of life that I have used from playing little league, marching drum corps, cards, games, softball, and WORK. Knowing that I have to stay sharp at work and compete to be good and stay good. Or interviewing for a new position I know to use my strengths to over compensate for me weaknesses. And if I don't get the promotions I know that there are other jobs, positions or what not, than I have to re group and fight until I get what I want. School have pretty much eliminated these games, and the parents allowed it. THIS SUCKS. Our children are now learning that they do not have to try and compete in order to be successful. A sad trend that is allowing our country to fall behind in education, sports and work in general.

So, toughen up your kids....MAKE THEM LOSE. Then, when the crying and whining finally stops, put down the booze that you use to get through the whining and crying and teach your kids how to be better. Work with them on what ever they need the help on. Teach them to strive to be number one, and that the only way to get ahead in life is too kick some ass and take some names.

Well time to goto work, where I may not be the best at what I do now, but, I will be......

Welcome to my blog, You might be offended

2007-11-30T13:52:00.000-08:00

Hello and welcome. First things first, The views of this blog are not to offend, insult or discriminate against ANYONE. They may not reflect fact as much as opinion. I have decided to do this since I CAN. We live in a world where we are constantly being told "NO" and "you can't say that, its mean!" to which my response is as follows "WHAT IF IT IS TRUE". The truth is harsh sometimes, but it can, and always will set you free. I do not intend on hurting people's feelings, but it may happen. I have some OLD FASHION values, and one of which is that I have the right to say how I feel. You have the right to close this page and never come back.

This blog will be a combination of humor, seriousness and out right ranting. I will try to keep it clean, however, it may not happen. There will be MUCH focus on Political Correctness and how it is destroying our country. I will stand up for the rights of Americans, even if I don't AGREE with them. "But Shaun, HOW?" you may ask. Simple, COMMON SENSE. There is so much CRAP out there where people are trying to make a name for themselves, and they exploit true victims of crime, society and laws to do it. Often times Criminalizing the victims, or even worse, taking a true CRIMINAL and making them the victim. Neither are acceptable.

This country was founded on values, hard work and as a place for freedom, religious and otherwise. I am not an overly religious person, HOWEVER, I don't believe that a persons religion reflects WHO they are. If someone uses religion to hide behind, say....a CAR BOMBING or other attack, I don't blame their religion. I am pretty sure WHAT EVER religion they are apart of was developed THOUSANDS of years before when there were no cars to BOMB. They are (Quoting my Uncle here) WINGNUT Jackasses that's are hiding behind Religion to HURT people. And that makes them an ASSHOLE in ANY RELIGION.

So, as time progresses I will speak about any and all of the above, as well as thoughts and musings. I hope that you have a sense of humor, because I don't care WHO you are YOU NEED ONE. so if you don't, get out NOW. I order your from my page, go to a website that offers "E-Hugs" and don't EVER come back. Good day to you
Shaun
