The problems with the getting up at three o’clock in the morning is that by 730 in the morning you’re still awake but kind of sleepy.
My apartment complex for the last two weeks has been reroofing all of the buildings. I think there are about 300 units total in this complex. Imagine my consternation waking up at six o’clock last Saturday to the sound of nail guns firing randomly across the street. It is pretty much the definition of Chinese water torture because while you’re trying to sleep, random noises keep happening. If that happens every 30 seconds or every 15 seconds you could get used to it and get back to sleep. But just random bang bang, bang, bang bang bang bang, bang. Yeah you pretty much can’t sleep through that.
I can’t complain at least they’re trying to keep the place up. The roofs in here do not seem to be in that bad of a condition, but if they’re going to them to keep things from leaking I guess I’m good with it.
I’m using the Dragon if it’s not obvious by my weird vocalizations coming through in my writing. Strange that I have a different voice speaking that I do that what comes out my fingertips when I’m typing.
The reason I was up at three o’clock in the morning is because I had my bedroom window open and my bathroom window open and the little dog that belongs to my neighbors directly behind me was tied out doing his howling-baying thing.
File this in the Cassie files: on Facebook yesterday Cassandra posted about how proud of her four dogs she is because they bark at everything. They bark at the wind. They bark at the trees that move in the wind. They bark at every car that drives by. They bark at birds that land in the paddock. They bark at anybody walking by. She is proud because they are keeping her farm safe.
There are times when you really have to listen to intuition because I can’t even imagine at this point if I’d been in a relationship with her the arguments we would have.
Barking dogs, unless you live way out in the country, should not exist. Much less in a suburban environment, or an apartment complex.
That baying falls directly in line below babies crying on airplanes as the most annoying fucking noise.
And then the question comes to mind, why in the fuck is that dog chained out in the backyard at three o’clock in the morning? Stupid as fuck adults who think having pets validates their adulthood.
People. Sheesh.
Similarly, babies and toddlers on planes.
Every time I have ever been on a plane with a screaming child sitting directly behind me I have thought that the mother and father should be spayed and neutered. Because no child should be born into a family where the parents are so self-centered and selfish as to bring a small child onto an airplane. The kid has no idea what’s going on or why its ears hurt while descending into whatever airport your descending into. On my way to Italy in 1997 I sat across the aisle from a family of six. Mother, father, a five-year-old, a four-year-old, a three-year-old and a two-year-old. The children were miserable. What in the hell were they doing on a plane? And oh yeah, they only bought five seats so the two-year-old was constantly being passed back and forth between the parents. I kept thinking “Maybe you two should stop fucking for a while.”
People. Sheesh.
Faceplant. If I wasn’t friended and following nearly every Victoria’s Secret model, and former Playboy playmate, I would completely delete that thing. Between my nieces tattoo fetish bullshit, her transgender agenda, and pictures of that ugly fucking dog, I really have no idea why I read anything she has to say.
Then my cousin in Alabama. The one who is married to an African. Who is actually from Africa. A research librarian at Auburn University. Everything she posts is white privilege this, micro-aggression that.
That shit is getting so freaking old. I DVR the daily show and the nightly show on Comedy Central. Mostly because it’s kind of funny, but also because it gives me a heads up on what liberal talking points are going to be the next day. Hilarious to think that liberal talking points come from comedians.
Let’s get this right. This country is not half white and half black. This country is not half straight and half gay. This country is 13% people of African descent. This country is 3% gay. And this country is 3/10 of 1% transgendered. Everyone should have equal rights. There is far too much demand for “special” rights. Just because you “feel” like something doesn’t make you that thing. Chicks with dicks don’t belong in women’s restrooms. Chop that thing off and we’ll revisit the subject.
African-Americans have this ready made argument that if they fail is because of Whitey. And if they succeed is because they work twice as hard to get half as far.
I know for a fact that is not the case. In the military I worked with some stellar performers who happened to be African American. In 1981 I was working in the avionics shop in the 363 tactical fighter wing at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.
I was 20 years old, just barely out of technical school. We worked our asses off. There was a lot of “diversity” in the ranks. That’s the way the military is. There was another kid who was about my age, a black guy from Atlanta. He was for lack of a better word completely incompetent. And he had that great chip on his shoulder that all underachieving black men have. Imagine if you will a world where your own failings, if you fail are somebody else’s fault. But if you succeed is because you work twice as hard to get twice as far.
When I was in flight school in 1989 I missed an exam because I had a medical appointment. When I went to make up the exam, in the instructor’s office, they put me in a cubicle with the exam and a timer.
I was invisible to the rest of the office. Strangely enough, and unbeknownst to me, there was actually is such a thing as a senior minority officer. Well the senior minority officer was a guy who was half Japanese and half black called in all of the minority flight students for a meeting. While I was in the cubicle taking an instrument exam. I heard him tell them that it was the U.S. Navy’s policy that not one of them would fail.
This is completely backwards from what everybody else was told, and that was you had three chances. Three flight failures, or three academic failures, or any combination that added up to three and you are done.
A black guy who started in my AOCS class, a former enlisted Marine and generally good guy who had no business in the air was finally washed out after 15 pink sheets, failures. 15. Five times the chances his paler brothers in arms got to get through the program.
Every white guy I knew who washed out got the same treatment. 3rd failure, clean out your locker, turn in your flight gear, hand over your ID card. There is the gate, have a nice life.
So all of this work twice as hard to get half as far bullshit is exactly that. If even the US government is holding their hands, imagine their consternation. Even King Barry has said he would never been president if it wasn’t for affirmative action.
Which basically means he did not earn the position.
Misconceptions. Random crap that floats around in my head.
A recurring theme on that show is “right of privacy”, and “separation of church and state.”
I know it’ll shock some people, but neither of those terms actually exist in the United States Constitution. The right of privacy is derivative of the fourth amendment which guarantees “the right of a person to be secure in his person papers and property.” Constitution doesn’t say anything about privacy. That is just the way that amendment has been interpreted by the courts over the years. Thank God.
The concept of “separation of church and state” does not exist in the Constitution. And the First Amendment there is a statement that says that Congress shall make no laws regarding the establishment of a religion.
“Separation of church and state” comes from a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote.
But the dumb asses on the street who been force-fed PBS CBS NBC ABC FOX MSNBC their whole lives seem to think that these are inviolable parts of our Constitution.
A long conversation with a friend of mine, who happens to be a lesbian, about the Supreme Court decision last year. And we both agreed, it wasn’t the right way to do it. It has to be a constitutional amendment. It was inevitable. Depending on which way the wind blows, the Supreme Court decision can be overturned by new law. And the shitstorm starts again.
Continuing on with the all over the map. I love how people like “whorehouse” Harry Reid like telling the Republican run Congress to “do their jobs.” When that sorry sack of Shit spent so much time doing just the opposite. And King Barry’s Justice Department selectively enforces the law. Hey king Barry, do your job.
To end on an up note.
One of the “correspondents” on the daily show is Desi Lydic.
I am used to gorgeous women on TV. I am used to really funny women on TV. But rarely do they come in the same body. She’s just so damn angelic.
