The swill that is our existence.

Ok, here is a second post for the day. Why is it the swill that is our existence is largely based on what we are spoon fed every day in TV and in radio by the mass media? Why am I constantly bombarded by news about someone I don't care about on some TV show, talk show or self proclaimed famous person. Some key points below.

1. American Idol

I DON'T CARE DAMNIT! Why is this the focus of everyones life today? Its crap yet millions of people are watching it and talking about it the next day. I have never cared about this stupid show. It is the brain poo that fills our minds while so many other important things are going on that we just ignore. Why do we focus on crap like this? I'm telling you that the world goes by and so many things are happening behind our backs and yet we're drawn to this crap!

Ok so you might say, "Fine don't watch it." . But that isn't my point, Its not that I want to force the general public to stop watching it, but you would think they would care that there are just other things just a little more important to focus on.

2. Anna Nicole Smith

How many dead dumb hicks do you care to hear about in the news? Here is someone who if they were anyone else in life, nobody would give a damn who she was. But because she made herself to be some self proclaimed star and was disgusting enough to degrade and do the things she did, people now seem to care? Im really confused here. She a dumb drug addict who spun on a pole and found herself a rich old sick coot that would give her money and she pimped herself out as the whore she was. Do you care about the whores that are in most major cities just as much? Jesus people WHO CARES!! Get a frigin life and move on.

3. Don Imus

This is a new one that surprises me and I'm not sure where to go with this. Radio personalities are constantly looking for the next big raiting to boost their image. Really I didn't know who this guy was till all this crap started happening recently. Some radio host says "nappy headed hos" and now out of the wood works come some self proclaimed idgits that make themselves to be the forefront leaders of the black community? Sorry but to me, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are the Anna Nicoles of the world. You ask the average black person if either of them represent them as a whole and they'd tell you to F*CK OFF. Why do these roaches of the world come out of to look for this "news" and stake some claim? I'm sorry but maybe they should be just as appalled by looking at their own communities. Number one crime in the nation of black minitority is black on black crime? Why don't they come out just as outraged? Rap artists constantly putting out lyrics with violence againt other blacks and women and spouting degrading comments? Where are they then? But again, I just don't get it. WHO CARES!??!

Something I want to leave you with. Think of how many Walmart, Kroger, Tom Thumb, SacNSave and Randalls grocery stores there are out there. In the hundreds of thousands total. Think of how much food we destroy every day due to a label that meets some federal regulation as to when it expires LOOONG before it ever does and how much is destroyed that is perfectly edible. People I'm talking about food in the TONS! Eggs, dairy, bread, meats .. You name it. The grocers can't give it away due to the liablity reasons that someone might sue them and yet we have levels of poverty in this world that should be non existant. Im not talking about feeding some wandering useless people in Africa. Yes hate me, but they're useless. Many and most of them you hear about are out there waiting in deserts to die because they REFUSE to use birth control!! Not to mention guerilla warfare that slaughters that population in the millions. This country has been going this way for several centuries and they refuse to do anything themselves about it. We should be focusing on the countries that CAN.

With the amount of food destroyed today there isnt a single person in at least the U.S. that should ever go hungry but yet we want to sit back fill our lives with this dribble we call news or media. ARGH!

Ok I ranted but had to get it out.

bye

Ok so where have I been.

Life seems to move on. Kids grow up and go to school. I am still working my same job although getting more and more skilled as time progresses. Seems like I am always looking for a new hobby or interest. As of late it has been a sailboat. Don't ask me why but maybe its the thought of escaping in a boat and getting away for awhile that appeals to me. I really want to take sailing classes this summer.
People have been asking me as of late why I have stepped down from being the team backend. I wouldn't really say its stepping down as I never got a pay increase for taking the job, only more responsibility. Ive left it as I have done so due to health reasons. Nothing could put it better.
My blood sugar has been acting up as of late. Its interesting what certain foods do to CERTAIN people. My wife has been packing my lunch as of late and I have to say it helps. But... Is it helping? I don't know. If anything I was amazed at the amount of money I save not buying breakfast and lunch every day. 300-400 per month.
Ok so for the most part the above is probably some senseless ramblings, but it feels like that has been my life as of late. Senseless ramblings. Maybe thats why I have been wanting a boat. Middle aged crazy coming out of me? That could be. But it would be a hell of a conversation piece. Something to tinker with on the weekends, talk about with friends, etc.

Anyways, who knows where Ill be in a few years. Not that I think anyone reads this blog anyways.
