I was lied to....

Remember when you were young and you were told you could grow up to do anything you want?  I definitely do.  "Well what do you want to grow up to be?", they would ask us.  "I want to be an astronaut!", I would say  "Great, if you work real hard you can be on the moon one day!"  What a load of shit.  If kindergarten teachers had a dime for every snot nose kid that wants to fly to the moon they would have....well about 5 dimes I would assume.  But this demonstrates the general idea that we fill our kids with all of this fluff that just causes disappointment when they finally grow up.  Maybe we should just start being honest with our kids.  "Well Billy, I know you want to be a doctor, but if you can't put the square block in the square hole at this age, why don't you try driving this toy garbage truck, see how that feels."  You know what everyone said I should be when I grow up?  A fuckin comedian.  As it turns out the only comedic talent I have is to make short phrase comments on everyday situations that generally makes people dislike me.  I guess it worked for Seinfeld.  The bottom line is I never flew to the moon, or even hallucinated enough to pretend I was there.  It is time to be honest with our kids and give them a stiff dose of reality at a young age....because the world needs ditch diggers too.

Try this pickup line

It only works before a snowstorm:  "Tonight you should expect 5-8 inches, with a 33% chance of a foot".....who knew the weather channel could be so sexy.

The clock is ticking...

As I sit here and watch the State of the Union Address I can only feel a sense of sadness.  President Obama speaks about us being a family as Americans.  We are one country together for better or for worse.  But we are not that way, we are a country divided by petty differences, greed, self serving acts, racism, sexism, and hate.  I can only imagine how great this country could be if we could magically wake up one day and agree on everything.  Could you imagine everyone agreeing to switch to 100% green energy and passing a bill in a week, starting work on the ground in a month?  Instead we become stuck in a mire of arguments and bickering.  We literally bicker about every single political point available.  What we have become is a nation of self interests, refusing to bend to another's ideas because we prefer to live in our own perfect world.  A world built on our stubborn opinions that in our minds are the only way to do things, the correct way to do things.  I am just as guilty as the next person.  But I would be willing to sacrifice some of my stances in order to have other get passed.  Because right now all we do is argue and nothing is getting done and won't be anytime soon.  Which beckons the quote "A wrong decision, is better then indecision".  What Republicans and Democrats need to do is line up their most important interests and split them down the middle.  While we are sitting here screaming at each other, China is making cars, planes, and tanks.  It is time to quit the nonsense and get down to business, or start learning Chinese.

First Post

Hello world!  Why am I writing a blog?  I don't know really.  Maybe it's because people tell me I abuse my Facebook status updates and this will cut down on them.  Maybe it's because I'm a wanna be hipster and this is a posh thing to do right now.  Maybe it's because I'm too opinionated for my own good.  The truth is I really enjoy to write, and I don't have the opportunity to do it anymore.  So here it is.  My thoughts on life and everything in it.  I'll be the first to admit I'm not right about everything....most things....or possibly anything.  But I have things to say, and I it would be super cool if you listened.
