Ramblings on current events

Having traveled around a little I have found that people are basically the same everywhere. We all want a decent home, healthy children, a job we can support our families with a few extra percs like time and money to take a little vacation every year, good schools, safe neighborhoods, a governing system we can have faith in, the freedom to practice whatever religion we choose, the means to defend ourselves if necessary (yes, I firmly believe in our 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms), healthy food, and a warm, loving community free of crime, gangs and drugs. Some people just go about getting those things in unorthodox ways. Men and women are basically the same all around the world as well. You have your bad apples, mooching men, mooching women. Hard working men and women.

The work ethic of our youth really concerns me. They are so instant gratification centered. They don't seem to want to do actual work for anything. This may be an American thing. These youth are going to be controlling my retirement funds. It scares me to death. I have the feeling we are going to hell in a hand basket and soon with countries like Greece going bankrupt. I feel we are in for a huge depression. I've got my yard ready for gardens and cut my expenses down to nothing but house payment, elec/water, and cable/internet/fone. If necessary, I can cut the internet and cable. I have hundreds of books. You know what? I don't think it would be a bad thing to do back to a simpler time.

Have a great day and remember:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow - what a ride!"

It rained in Dallas, The Asian girl who "committed suicide" or was murdered in California after her soon to be step son fell down the stairs and later died. This is not news. How many other people committed suicide or were murdered and why weren't all their stories also reported? Real housewives show ending, the pressures of reality TV are you kidding? These people are absolutely ridiculous to start off with so thank whoever is up there listening that they are going off the air. Nothing but a bunch of whining, spoiled little bitches with nothing better to do but sit around and whine some more. Who wore what to the emmy's? People, people, people, Harry Reesner and Walter Chronkite are rolling over in their graves. I have news for you. You are making commentary, you are not reporting the news. Who are the worst? CNN, Fox Headline News, MSNBC News, well they are all horrible.

Losing Your Blog and Your Husband

I lost my blog. It took forever to find it. That's what I get for not posting often enough. I'm divorced now. After much fiasco I am single once again. I have decided I like being by myself. I just don't make good marriage material. I like putting things in my refrigerator and finding them just where I left them when I come home. I like paying the bills and knowing they are paid. I like knowing where all my dishes are. I like having alcohol in the house and having it last more than 24 hours. I like being able to put my medication on my bedside table and it's still there when I wake up. I like going to bed without having to wonder if some grunting, sweating man is going to want to have sex after they've spent the day treating me like shit. I like choosing what I want to watch on TV. I like deciding whether I want to cook or go out for dinner. I like dropping everything and just going where ever I want to without having to check in with someone. I like being able to just go buy something if I want to instead of having to check with someone else to see if they have squandered all the money they were supposed to pay bills with. I like being able to post on my blog without someone hanging over me suspicious of what I'm doing even though I have never given them even the vaguest hint of impropriety. Last but not least, I bought a house and I like remodeling it however I want to without someone else saying, "no, I want it done this way"
