Getting back to the basics

Tonight I want to RAVE!! Well, it has come time again for our yearly party trip. Each year we take a camping trip with a huge group of people, and get very drunk and go down the river in canoes and water pistols. For everyone it is a good time. I am personally looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new acquantances. Everyone needs a trip like this, at least once a year in order to unwind, let loose a little and forget the rest of the world. In every group you will find your stereotypes. There is one person who is just loud and obnoxious, but good hearted and wants everyone to join in his merriment. You have the grouch, who under normal circumstances fits the profile, but she/he comes to the party and they seem a little more relaxed and lighthearted. you have your straight laced doctor and lawyer types who show up, and this is the one time of the year that they allow themselves to be influenced juat a bit, and they do whatever drug is floating around. Mind you that this is not a drug party. It is kept under wraps and there are no pressures to participate. I myself have never ever even so much as taken a single puff. It isn't that I am against it, I am just not interested, I am happy to stick with Alcohol. You have the card players, the sleepers, the slackers, the hardbodies, the gamblers, and just about every walk of life you can think of. This is the one time of the year, where you get together and the world is left behind, and you are just people. For this coming weekend, I plan to get very drunk and associate with everyone again. Everone remembers a time when they were younger and participated in high school parties, the college bashes, the graduation parties, the keggers and frat parties. Once you have grown, this a small reminder that life isn't always as bad as it can be, and friends, no matter how long it has been since you have seen them, 10, 15, 25, or even 40 years, they are still your friend. Hopefully you are fortunate enough to be included once a year in an event such as this and can enjoy it as much as I.

The Ups and the Downs

Well, I got to bash Bush the other day, I think that today there are some people out there that deserve some Raves. First of all I would like to commend the Terminator, it may be an election year, but he still had the balls to approve a $150 million dollar loan for stem cell research. Good for you Arnold! It goes to show, that even though you may belong to the same party, it does not mean that you have to be a puppet of the party. Finally someone who is not afraid to rock the boat a little.

Another rave is for M. Night Shyamalan, whose new movie is opening up this weekend. I am excited to see how this movie will turn out. I liked the Village, it was a good film and the end was an excellent twist, but it was also a little bit of a let down. But no matter, this film make is able to grab his audiences and keep them watching, so we will see how this new one fares.

I will also have to give it to Sly, who else has the nerve and the balls to try and make another Rocky movie. Hopefully, it will be better than Rocky V. The first four were very good, we will see if he can recapture a little of the old excitement.

Unfortunately, I will have to do some bitchslapping here. Lets hear it for Ms. Dumb As A Box Of Rocks herself, the puppet of our asshole leader, Condoleeza Rice. Not only is she rejecting the idea of a cease fire for the Israel-Hezbollah war, she will be travelling to the mid east to discuss the situation with: everyone but the Israelis and the Hezbollah. If there is going to be peace talks you must include the parties involved you stupid moron!! Enough said for now.

Back to business. Anyone who has seen "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" on TNT, let me know what you think. I love it so far. I am really looking forward to next weeks episodes.

I am also in the middle of a new book by Brian Lumley. It is part of the Necroscope series. Anyone who is into Vampires and Werewolves, international spy stuff or even the supernatural should check these books out, they are well written, and the story lines don't get too outlandish.
Time to go, see you soon.

Jackass in the Whitehouse

Today I feel like ranting, and what is everybody's favorite subject to rant about these days? The asshole that is currently our president. I know that I did not vote for him. The american people were duped not once, but twice into voting this so-called religious, hypocritical asshole into office. If you don't agree with me, go to Google.com, type in "Failure", hit the I'm feeling lucky button, and see what pops up. And today once again he has stuck it to the American public. Once again he is putting down a bill that would allow stem cell research to proceed. for those of you that are unfamiliar with what stem cell research is about, it involves taking human embryos and extracting stem cells from them and running tests upon the cells that have been extracted. Now up until the recent past, the embryos have been destroyed in the process. Sounds inhumane? I ask how itcan be inhumane to something that is alive, but it is not sentient yet. This is no different than allowing doctors to play with the DNA of a baby's fetus to produce the desired sex. You can't call it a human life, because it isn't human!! It is an EGG!! In addition, the new procedures that they are using now do not harm the embryos in any way shape or form, so what is the problem? I don't get it. The problem is that if we are allowed to proceed with this, we may actually find cures for some of the worst diseases that we have come up against, like AIDS and Cancer. If that happened, the government would lose millions in revenue that they rake in every year ripping the american taxpayer off in drug cost. I have worked for drug companies in the past, and let me tell you, it costs them billions to produce a drug, and takes years for them to make enough money for the drug to be cost effective. Where your money is going is not to the drug companies, but to the federal government!
Since we are on the subject of the king of fuck ups, let us talk about this war. Now, hold on; Before you say anything, let me be clear! I support our troops 100%, I have relatives in the armed forces and serving in teh middle east. I take nothing away from them, I know how hard they are fighting for our freedom, and I am very proud of them. ON the otherhand, the fuckup in office has gotten us into a situation that we will never be able to get out of. If you want to blame someone for starting the war, blame Bush. He was meddling in affairs that he had no business being involved in, well before 9/11. If you want to know what it is I am taling about, it is the peace treaty that he "bullied" Israel and the Palestinians into signing 5 months before 9/11. What good did it do? None, the fighting is worse than ever, and I think that 9/11 in some way is partially a direct result of his fucking interference in foreign matters that do not concern us. There has been a Holy war going on over there for over 2000 years and he thinks that he will able to step in and make them play nice?? I do agree that removing Suddam Hussein from power was absolutley necessary, Hooray for our troops. When that was accomplished we should have left. He couldn't find the WMS that he claimed were there. The reason being is that they were moved long before we startin glooking for them. They had 10 years to move them. Of course we weren't going to find them. Any idiot with half a brain knew that. We said that we would leave after a stable government was set up, that happenend a year ago. We are over there supposedly training their army. Let me see, it takes us 6 weeks of basic training and then some additional combat training to prepare our men. We have been training their men for over 2 years, what is wrong with that picture!! Bush has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on this war, but can't fine the money to help our elderly and disabled, not to mention our veterans! Do you want to know the real reason we are still at war? The reason is that no president can be charged or impeached during wartime. Bush refused the USA joining the World Court (which was desinged to handle international affairs), WHY? BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP ON CHARGES FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!!! He knows that he would be impeached, he knows that the eavsdropping he is permitting is against the law! We have no business still being over there except to line his and his daddy's pockets with money from the oil! But that is another subject for another day. For the time being, my anger has cooled some and I will leave you to your own thoughts. Feel free to let me know what you think. I would be very interested in hearing other opinions. Till next time...

hello

Good Evening. This is my first post, so let me tell you what you may expect. Here I will express my ideas, thoughts, opinions, theories, rants, raves, and sometimes a little knowledge. I will not be afraid to say exactly what is on my mind and it will be done without regard to proper language or political correctness. In other words, I will express myself exactly as I see it. There may be times you agree with what I have to say and at other times not. There will be times that I may be mistaken and hopefully you will Let me know what you think. I am not here to alienate anyone or to purposefully hurt anyone. Maybe together we can find a way to change the way our world thinks, one person at a time.
