I Don't Want To

I don't want to help you raise your kids, damn it. You got 'em, you deal. It was your choice. I had no say in it.

I don't want to be the solver of all your problems. You made the choices, you solve the problems. Don't come to me and try to dump it in my lap cause I'm standing up. And now your friends come to me to solve their problems?! F**k No!

If you don't have the money, then learn to do without. That's what I have to do. Are you so precious you think you are entitled to an easy ride? Life is not an easy ride.

I don't want to spend all day driving back and forth across the entire city five different times. All of a sudden your babysitter's problem is now my problem? I don't think so. Solve it yourself.

And I don't want to hear your angry stomping around because baby... you ain't heard any stomping yet. You do not want me to get started. I'll stomp all over your ass.

And, damn it, I am not going to feel guilty about it, either!!

Harmful Products

Does China make ANYTHING that won't kill you? Or maim you? Now its drywall making people sick and damaging metal (plumbing, computers, jewelry, etc.) What the hell is going on, anyway. Why are we still letting China products into the country without thorough testings first? oh... wait. It affects companies profit margins.

Huh?

The US has captured some pirates off the coast of Kenya. Upon reading the headlines I'm thinking good... a few less pirates on the seas for a while. But when I read the article all I could think was huh? Here's an excerpt:

The USS Nicholas was just west of the Seychelles in international waters Thursday when crew began taking fire from a suspected pirate skiff, NBC News reported. The Nicholas returned fire and disabled the pirate boat, then pursued the skiff until it finally broke down.

A few men in a tiny skiff fired shots at a US naval vessal... WTF? Did someone's nose just grow longer? Are these men that stupid? The naval ship is just sitting out there minding its own business when they were viciously attacked by a few men in a skiff. I repeat... WTF?

I think these details are suspicious. I can see the US ship spotting the pirates (or even tracking them down) and taking them out, but it looks like the navy is trying to play the nonaggressor role.

Sumpin doesn't seem right....

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.
