Shit Happens

September 25th, Tuesday... I just read an interesting article about a University of Tennessee frat boy who had to go to the emergency room at a hospital because he did something called "Butt Chugging!" He consumed alcohal through a tube stuck up his arse! Are you kidding me?
What the hell is wrong with our Society where our young people have become so stupid? I used to buy into the notion that our younguns are smarter but that "perceived" intelligence seems to be relative because of how easy it is to access information now-a-days. I'm not feeling like I have confidence in our youth, and I know it's not "everybody," but I don't understand why all the asshole(pun intended) commentary is reported and positive accomplishments have to take a back seat. Does stupidity sell that much better? Is it even healthy to be exposed to said stupidity at every turn? I was watching OWN (Oprah's channel) and saw the Basketball Wives ("non factor") woman (Evelyn) bear her soul to the Iyanla woman. I mean, as something as personal as trying to get your life in order, have to be televised? She probably needs to take her ass to a private office somewhere and heal in secrecy. Why would you want EVERYONE to share in your personal drama?
What am I saying? This woman had no problem throwing wine bottles on camera, or cussing other people out in full effect. Why would she rehab in private?
World gone mad!

September 6th, Thursday... I have been trying to keep up with the conventions and hone in on what has been said and I started thinking, maybe the whole damn thing should be revamped? Why not elect a president for eight years instead of four years? Cost would definitely be cut down significantly from campaigning. Cost would also be cut from putting on the dog and pony show the conventions seem to display. The elected president would have a significant amount of time to clean up the mess created by the previous president and a decent amount of time to do his/her thing! It would also place a higher value on the vote itself. What's the downside? Well, if the wrong cat is picked, your ass will suffer for eight years!
We, as Americans, should be used to long term suffering. Between Reagan, Bush, and Bush, Americans have endured more BS than a field of bulls can produce after taking massive amounts of a laxative!
The other piece is, stop fucking the president's name! I mean, what the fuck is a "MITT? What's his history? Was he a leather baseball glove when he was born?

September 3rd, Monday/Labor Day... Okay... maybe it's me. I have a leather shoulder bag that has a latch that slides under a bar (strip of metal) to hold the flap closed. The latch is broken so I went to a luggage store to ask if they could fix the latch. The guy I talked to (from India) could not do the work but he referred me to the shoe repair store... Wait a minute... The shoe repair store? So I asked him if they did that kind of work and he said, "I DON'T KNOW! WHENEVER I GET SOMETHING I CAN'T DO, I REFER CUSTOMER TO THEM!") What the ...?
I get it. Fuck customer service! Look, step up your game when you come to this country and own a business! And, cavete vendor! If you are going to fleece AMERICA, at the very least be slick about it. And, if you are going to play the role of the "stupid" consumer, learn to develop some "BALLS" to challenge who is doing the selling! "I'm just sayin'"

September 2nd, Sunday... Question: If I have faith and wait for GOD to move in HIS time, and I die of "natural causes,"  in the process, did GOD kill me? I want to ask my Pastor that question but he is too busy insulting me when we talk. What is it about men who have (perceived) power and their egos? I have observed that my pastor is passive-aggressive so he slips these little "zingers" in when we talk. Today he insinuated that I was "gay" because I carried a (his term) "man bag" to church with me today. What I have is not a "man bag!" What I carry is the size of a briefcase! I understand that a "man bag" is considerably smaller in size compared to my bag.
Of course I took what he said as a joke but I wonder if I said to him what he said to me, he would take as a joke? Would he be offended? Should I care? Should I respect him as a pastor or disrespect him as a man? Should I change churches?
Wait a minute, I know what I will do... I will peruse the Bible and find the scripture that will allow me to insult him biblically in context! I'll look in Proverbs and Revelations.  Maybe I can find out whether he is using "real" wine for Holy Communion as opposed to drinking the fruit punch the congregation drinks. (We took the body and blood today. He might have been drunk!)
