Our Gangs are more polite than your gangs....

We've had a lot of shootings going on around here and lately its picked up. Gang related. The following is from one of our local tv stations:

"The family of a man shot and killed in Portland last Friday said the killer called them to apologize.

Deangelo Oliver, 29, was killed in the shooting, near the intersection of SE 89th and Division and two other people were injured.

Police believe the shooting was gang-related.

Oliver’s aunt told the Oregonian that the shooter, who is still on the run, called the family to apologize. They said they know the shooter and don’t want to release his name.

Police said that kind of response was common when it comes to gang violence".

Well. How 'bout that. Such a good mannered young man, right? I think this screams volumes about the nature of the family involved.

Sometimes its so frustrating that I think okay...let them kill each other then. But that leaves all those random bullets searching for a place to explode. Those are the ones that kill bystanders so that's not an answer. Not an acceptable one.

I wonder if the young man/teen called to apologize because he doesn't want the family coming after him for retaliation. Gangland vengence. Well, good luck with that.

A Couple of Things

I'm so tired of people using my blog to make a couple of pennies. I'm talking about the people who leave comments on a blog post which are clearly meant to promote someone else's business. I'm being used and I don't like it. If I'm not making money from my blogs, I damn sure don't want other people to try to make money. I will delete every comment that even begins to smack of advertising. And puleeese... if your pc is set up to use the Chinese language how many people reading an English language blog will even be able to read your comments. STOP BEING SO FRIGGING LAZY AND GO GET A REGULAR JOB. If you can' work a regular job, then think of something else you can do BESIDES using other people. You stink!

And that Lohan chick. Get over yourself. Try growing up. Readers, did you think of Lindsey Lohan when you saw the e-trade commercial with the babies talking... the one that references Milk-holic Lindsey? She never once crossed my mind. How arrogant to think the world knows her by one name. Alcoholic dementia, no doubt. I hope whomever she is suing fights it to the end, even if it costs a fortune. She could end up having to pay for their legal fees. Cackle, snort.

The census... I found it interesting that the only things the government wants to know is if you are buying your home or renting and what race you are. Do you remember the previous census? I don't... I can't remember if they wanted to know if you have a mortage or not. I find it a little weird.

Seems like I should have a few more rants, but they escape me at the moment.

Special News Report

We are breaking into your regularly scheduled program to bring you this very important news.... Cheating man apologizes!

Whew... that was breaking news. A man cheated on his wife. wow. And now he apologizes for his behavior. That does constitute a breaking news report.

Woods is a golfer. A golfer, for gawdsake. And he's a man. DUH! Do you think Kobe's wife still thinks he no longer cheats on her? Do you think Clinton no longer fools around? Do you need a bridge? I've got one for sale if you're interested.

And good for Elin in not standing up to public exposure because of her f*cking husband. Pun intended.

Banking fees

oh. my. gawd.

I was just checking my bank account online and saw that fees were going up. I went to go see what they looked like, because afterall... I don't do banks. I'm a credit union person and they watch out for their members.

snort

That almost had me spewing coffee outta my nose!

I repeat... OH MY GAWD. They charge for everything! EVERY. THING. I bet if they could figure out a way of measuring it, they would charge me for breathing. Charge me for being alive. They even charge you if you close the account. WTF?! (okay, so its if you close it during the first 90 days, but still.)

I'm thinking the banking industry now ranks up there with car salesmen. (salesmen used as a generic term. Females can sell cars, too.) oops that should read 'down there'. Banks ranks down there with car sales people.

I'm beginning to think perhaps our economic system should have died the big one after all so we could start all over cause the greed is getting to be too much.

Get Yer Fluff Piece Here!

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA snort.

I guess what I've been hearing about Fox News is true. I don't watch it, so I can't say for myself, but news has it that they have signed Sarah Palin to present fluff reports. Inspirational stories, etc. Fluff. You know.

No bias there.

BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA. Well good luck to her. Who knows. Maybe she'll become the conservatives' Oprah.

Notice (Addendum added)

This blog will be deleted in a few days.*

I find myself cringing a little each time I open it. I think its because its all negative... no balance. I've been known to praise technology on one day and then bitch about it on another. This blog would only contain the bitching. You know, out of balance.

I'm going to get a notebook and put all my bitching in it, then no one else needs to be exposed to it and every so often I can destroy the evidence. Cause you know. I'm such a sweet person.

*Addendum: I will be rethinking about keeping this blog going because of a couple of comments from people. What is more important? Being honest in my presentation or having people think I'm boring? I mean 'nice'. I guess the bottom line is that if people don't want to be exposed to bitching, they won't come here.

I don't plan on taking any action right now. I'll see how it goes. I know I enjoy reading blogs written by people who are real. Sigh. I don't know. I guess it stays for now.

I Want My Life Back, Damn it!

I'm tired of being a mother. A mother is someone you use when you're down on your luck or are just plain lazy. I want motherhood to stop. And lets not even talk about pretending to be a grandmother. I simply do not have it in me to be something I'm not... and I'm not a kids person. I've tried. I have sincerely tried, but its not gonna happen. I seem to expect a child to listen to adults and do what they are told to do........ snort. One of life's biggest jokes.

I want my life back. The life without live-ins, life without unruly rug rats. I want my car back. I want my bank account back. I want my apartment back. I WANT MY SANITY BACK!

And at this point, the odds of this happening are a gazillion to one against it.

oh yeah.... AND I'M TIRED OF WATCHING CARTOONS!! (However, my favorite is Jacob Two-two. I like the drawings. sigh.)

PS. I think two weeks is too long for school to be out... especially when there's continous rain so there's no playing outside. After winter break comes spring break, then summer break. crap.
