Television Revolution

Remember the good ole days, when Mtv had 24 hours of music videos? Well.... I just looked at the tv guide for a 24 hour day (Saturday) and the ONLY scheduled time for videos is from 6-6:30am. 30 freakin minutes out of 24 hours!!! It's all real world, date my mom, punk'd and a whole bunch of other meaningless crap. What is the world turning to?? Mtv SUCKS!

The Annoying Reality

Last night I had a dream, and it was a damn good one. Pierce Brosnan was there, but in it his name was Parker. Not sure if that was his first or last name, but that is what everyone called him. Very strange, but we were in love. Go figure. I mean, he was desperately in love with me. The fun part was that he was a high school shop teacher. I have no idea what that was about. And of course there was sex. GOOD sex. So just imagine how pissed off I was when I finally woke up, interrupting this situation. I never thought of Brosnan like that before, but now, he's on my list. Yeah, he's a stud.

Double Standards

Normally it bugs me when people forward me junk mail. My father on the other hand, well, he sends me the good stuff. The following is soo accurate it's ridiculous. So without further ado, enjoy the email contents.
Dear President Bush:
I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don’t enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.
Thank you so much for your kind help.

The Annoying Bush - Part 2

I might as well not even talk about the issues here, chances are, you know them all anyway. But I will say...Why do we put up with it? His approval rating has dipped to an all time low, so doesn't that tell you something? It tells me that half of the registered voters that put him in office are now kicking themselves in the ass. Not hard enough for my liking though.

Healthcare System Scam

Wait, wait, wait..... I can't really say that it is annoying, because I don't have health insurance. Not by my choice either! My state, my government... do they help? Nope. I had a conversation with a nice lady from Michael Moore's office this evening, and as I told her of my own disappointments with the government, it hit me just how bad it could be. Made me realize that something needs to be done. But what? I've emailed and called MANY different levels of the government, and not one person would listen to my concerns without turning a deaf ear. Mitch Daniels for example. I called his office regarding Indiana Medicaid, and was transferred from one person to another to another and to another. Really! Seems that the word "Medicaid" isn't in the governors office vocabulary. Now I realize that all you taxpayers hate Medicaid, Medicare and everything inbetween, but I paid taxes too! LOTS-O-TAXES. I know people that can't even get a good meal. I'll make a deal... Hey Mitch, if you give up your New York strip steak dinner to someone in need, I'll take you for a burrito supreme and a Dr Pepper. Even with my pathetic income I'm willing. That's all. If I say anymore I'm bound to break a law or two. Have a good one.

Time Change

99% of the United States has to reset their clocks twice a year. A couple of days ago I set my clock forward for the very first time. I was part of the 1% that did not conform to daylight savings, and I liked that just fine. However, this joke of a Governor we call Mitch Daniels has decided to go with the flow. He wants to be like everyone else, screwing Indiana residents at the same time. Be aware, there are MANY reasons I do not like him, it's not just because of DST. This is just added to the long list of things that annoy me about him. Republicans = BLAH!

Mindscape

Ever have one of those thoughts that you just can't get out of your mind no matter what you do? I would welcome it if it were a nice one, but why does despair overtake everything you do? Even now, 10 months after the death of my sister, I still have the mindset like it is the moment I found out. That moment of devastation and that no matter what you do, this is the one damn thing you can't control. Maybe I'm just losing my mind and going completely crazy. I sure miss her.
