A Tribute Too Late Given

 So, former President Ford has passed away. I kind of liked the guy, you know? I don't think he did any harm at all while he was in office(I know someone will dispute this notion), and Chevy Chase did such a good impression of him! Always falling down, or tripping over some foreign object.

 

              So now I see in the headlines for the day that "tributes" are being presented in his honor. Here's a quick thought, if you think so highly of the person, why not have tributes to them WHILE THEY ARE ALIVE? How the hell does a dead person know about your puny tribute? If a guy or girl is liked, for fuck's sake, tell them while they are alive!

 

           Too many times someone is taken from us with no warning, and we wish we had told them some thing or another while they were alive. Don't waste time thinking "Oh, I will sound stupid". Some of the best things you can say to a person will almost always sound awkward, or silly. I wish I had said more to my mother before she was taken from me. I have an Uncle I think very highly of, whom I haven't seen in about twenty five years. I wish I had told him just how much he did for me, how he kept me on the right track(mostly, anyway).

 

           My grandmother died in 2002. We always used to kid each other. She would ask me to do something for her, and ask what she "owed" me for doing it. I would tell her to just keep her foot in the gate of Heaven for me, so we could be together, if she got there first. Hopefully, no one has caught her yet! My grandmother ALWAYS knew that I loved her, and she, me. I said all I needed to say to her so she could go on her journey knowing just how I felt about her.

 

          Forgive me these emotions, but at some level, I, too, am human...somehow, somewhere, someway, sometimes. The writer in me sometimes takes over, and things that I would rather keep hidden come to the fore. Sorry.

A Strange Happening

    Good day to all of my little "minions"! I hope all of you had a great Christmas Day. My wife and I had a strange thing happen yesterday---we had Christmas alone! That hasn't happened for about twenty four years!

 

             It was amazing just how quiet the house was with just us two here. We made the most of it, I can assure you all! I figure we should get used to this happening a lot more often, nowadays. With the oldest girl married, and the youngest turning fifteen next month, we may have aa few more "quiet Christmases" waiting in the wings.

 

               Did everyone get what they wanted this year? I wanted all of the wars and hatred in the world to stop, and everyone just get along. As usual, it didn't happen, so I settled for a couple of gifts from my wife. Maybe next year, hmm? Or, maybe when the Aliens from outer space take over? You know how it is, SHIT HAPPENS!

Lowering The Standards Part Two---

     Ok, so I forgot to get back here yesterday. I got busy with some other things, and just forgot.My fault, I screwed up, plain and simple. Shit Happens. So, here is what I wanted to tell you.

 

             Have you heard of this supposed "congressman" named Keith Ellison? He is the asshole who wants to be sworn in using the Koran, because he is muslim. The Represenative from Virginia, Mr. Virgil Goode has said that he is against this. He cites as  his reasoning that soon we will have a lot of muslims in congress, too many, in his eyes. I agree with him.

 

            Muslims need to keep a few things in mind in these times. Number one, they need to keep their heads down. Number two, they do not want to draw un-wanted attention to themselves. I don't personally care if you choose to be muslim, it matters not to me.

 

             What DOES matter is that I have seen a shift in the minds of the American people, and muslims, and mexicans are no longer tolerated as well as they once were. Let us not forget that I live in Mississippi. If you think the "Klan" is something of the past, you are sorely mistaken. Many people here consider themselves brethern in the "Noble Society", and it goes by many names here, but above all, it is still about the same thing..."If you ain't white, then you ain't right".

 

              This idiot, Mr. Ellison, will get his way, mostly because he is black. That isn't prejudice on my part, just a cold,hard fact. Just one more way we lower our standards for minorities. I think it is a load of shit. No one ever gave me a job because of my lack of education, why should we give jobs to people who are not qualified, just because they are a minority? I say "fuck 'em". Give the assholes the same chance I had.

Ticked Off!

Well, it is finally raining here, just a little, anyway. I had written a full page of political stuff for everyone to read, but before I could save it, the connection to AOL was "lost". Hmmm, things that piss you off 101; losing the connection after you have written a lot of crap, but before you had time to save it!

 

             What does AOL stand for? "Assholes On Leave"? I will re-write my page for everyone later today, AGAIN! Hey, my loyal "Minions"(I still love that one!!!) I noticed that the number of visits here is now more than 9,600. Let's see if we can get it to 10,000 by January first. Why? I have no idea, it just sort of popped into my head, so I decided to ask my Minions for help. Tell your friends, hell, I know you know someone who could use a laugh or two! Let them come read the musings of a crazy old redneck biker-dude!

Chillin' and Grillin'

 Well, I cooked out today! That's right, I went out and fired up the old grill, and threw on some 'burgers. It has been so damn hot here lately! It sure will be stupid to be in sleeveless shirts on Christmas day!

 

          The good thing about this is that it is not uncommon. The bad thing is that when it finally DOES get cold, there are very nasty storms, and in the last few years, even tornadoes. I hate those with a passion. I believe "Tornado Alley" should be extended to include Mississippi and Tennessee.

 

          Oh, well, I guess I will get a bag of pork rinds, and a few beers, and sit under the shade tree for a bit! Might as well, we can't go ice-fishing. I think that is one of the "up North" things that I miss the most, along with the snow. If it snows here, it is never more than an inchor two, and it only lasts for a couple of days. And these fuckin' rednecks can't drive for shit on it!!!!!! Most of the dumb asses just stay at home, the rest just go out and make my insurance rates go up!!

 

              Hey, get a clue----buy a vowel---read a fuckin' book! Learn to drive on snow for the ONE DAY that it lasts here, or just stay at home!!! Bone-heads, all of them!

An Early Christmas

My oldest daughter and her family are going to Mexico this year. They want to leave Friday, if everything goes as planned. As her plans would cause the grandchildren to completely miss Christmas here, we gave them a surprise yesterday evening.

 

              We let the grandchildren open their presents early. As could be expected, there was total chaos for a bit, then things settled down some. Well, being the protaganist that I am, I quickly whipped out my two harmonicas, and let the gramdchildren play  with them.

 

              The ensuing "symphony of the harmonicas" wasn't exactly the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, but it was good enough for me! Tiny little Vinnie playing the short harmonica, and telling his dad to "get up and dance, daddy". Little Rozie on the long harmonica, trying to keep time with little Vinnie. This "concert" lasted for well over half an hour. It was for a small, but elite audience. The entrance fee has been paid for many years by the audience. The show was well worth the price of admission.

A Hidden Agenda

In the headlines today, I see where Mr. Eric Rudolph is complaining about the conditions in the so called "super-max" prison that he now resides in. Well, sorry Mr. Rudolph, but heroes are never treated very well. Ooops, did you just read "hero" in this article? You are dammed right you did!

 

            Eric Rudolph mostly targeted "women's clinics" with his bombs. Why he targeted the 1996 Olympics is anyone's guess. But I digress. These "women's clinics" are abortion centers, plain and simple. I hope someone closes down each and every one of them. Pro Life? Maybe so, but I know something that most people don't know.

 

           Ooops, did a woman just get pregnant with the child of her lover, and her husband doesn't know? Well, let's pop on down to the "women's clinic" and take care of this little problem. And another cheating woman gets away with murder, literally. Instead of killing the child this scum carried, they should have ended HER miserable life.

 

             What? That sounds too harsh? Why is it if I shoot some stupid bastard, and, consequently do the world a favor, I go to prison for murder. Yet, this "woman" can murder AS MANY BABIES AS SHE WANTS, and nothing happens to her? How many people are waiting for adoption of a small child?

 

            Literally thousands! We make it so hard to adopt, yet so easy to kill. The blood is on all of our hands. Eric Rudolph just tried to show us that, albeit in a rough way. I still believe he had the right idea, just bomb them when no one is there...after all, this is about SAVING lives.

 

         Oh, and the lady that runs the "women's clinic" that Mr. Rudolph bombed, she stated that she hopes that he stays there forever...well, maybe you could bomb the place with just ONE PERSON in it. I hope she enjoys killing children. The news article didn't state whether or not this heartless bitch had any children. Too bad.
