What a hoot

So I’m going to talk about the Adventures In Disasters lady, the Drama Queen at http://adventuresindisaster.blogspot.com/

I’m going to copy/paste what she put on her blog about me and put my comments inside of brackets.

So there is this really weird guy that came to the blog awhile back. (I went and read some of her blog because we seemed to have something in common at first as she complained about some of the same things I do) He seemed like a harmless old fart so I replied to a few of his comments. That was my mistake. I wandered over to his blog God Uncensored and realized wow, guy is a fruitcake (To her anyway) so I tried to ignore him but he wouldn't stop with the comments. His comments started getting mean and personal and I told him to get lost. (She has deleted the comments, that both of us made, so anyone that wants to see what they where in case they want to be the judge of that will have to go into the Google archives to see them)

No one needs some nut hanging around bitching about your television choices right? (All I said what that she watches to much TV and she even agreed with my statement)
Well..he wont go away..GO AWAY! (That isn’t true, I won’t be leaving anymore comments after the last one I left)

So I am clueless..how do you get rid of some bitchy thousand year old friendless, familyless whiny lurker? (Geez, I don’t know, offer me money? *lol* Or try asking nicely instead of being a bitch) I am being JUDGED by my gramma on the internet and it's freaking me out! (What is a gamma? And I’m pretty sure that a lot of things freaks this woman out)

This guy Billy prides himself on the fact that he has run off his entire family, he hates women with a scary passion and I think he believes he is God... (This very judgmental Drama Queen, that doesn’t know me doesn’t know that I don’t have much family left because most of them have died off, or that I get along very well with those of them that are left. I did mention that my daughter had as much as ‘divorced’ me but I’m okay with that as she is a woman that thinks everyone should support her no matter what she thinks and does, she doesn’t like me telling her that she should grow up some and change about how she thinks about some things. It’s true, I do think that I am God but everyone keeps missing my very important point that God is a spirituality and not an actual being. They keep missing my point that we, all of us collectively, are God in evolution. I just understand and accept it better than others. Mostly others don’t want the responsibility of being God. And it’s not true that I hate women even though I don’t like how many of them are. And my best friend happens to be a woman but she is heads and tails above most women on this planet. The Drama Queen wouldn’t make a pimple on my best friends butt)

I got really lucky with my nut didn't I? (That reminds me of an old ditty. Everyone loves a nut, the world loves a weirdo… Something like that).

Anyway I reported him to Blogger. (Oh? Like Blog Spot is supposed to get worked up about what a couple of people with blogs that are in a bit of a pissing contest are saying to each other? Blog Spot is owned by Google, king of the Internet and defender of a wide open, no holds barred forum where anything can be said. If they even look into it I’m sure they will be amused. And it appears that she never pays any attention to Scott Adams [I know she reads his blog] when he points out that if you are going to have a blog that you have to be able to take some crap and criticism, we rip into people all the time there. She clearly does not like criticism even though she likes to dish it out).

I also tightened up the comments thing which pissed me off... (Smirk, she sure gets pissed off a lot) I never get any comments anyway so why should I now have to moderate them? (She is right, she never gets any comments so why is she whining about having to moderate a few, I was the only one that ever left any there. It isn’t likely that anyone even reads her blog and her dramatic comments about her TV dramas because it all gets rather boring, and fussing about her medical condition, that I suspect is more psychological than medical. But I’m not her doctor or her shrink so I really don’t know. But if you read this my little Drama Queen, go ahead and enable comments on your site again, I won’t leave anymore comments, promise. Really, if I have something to say about you and your stupid blog in the future I will just say it on my blog, you can report it to Blog Spot and we can all get a good chuckle out of it).

I also don't get why people think they can cut and paste your blog and then reproduce it on theirs..I am copyrighted..isn't that illegal? (She is copyrighted? Well I’ll be dipped in shit, guess she can just sue me then can’t she? With the advent of the Internet the whole copy write scene is going to change as the world knows it anyway. Everyone is doing copy/pastes of all sorts of things on the net. They copy/paste news stories and things from Wikipedia and share all kinds of cartoons and editorials, it’s going to become impossible to try to uphold so called copyrights other than maybe technical manuals and such, it’s a changing world folks and that is a fact. If however others do not want others to copy/paste what is on their sites and blogs they should include code that doesn’t allow it).

Go away creepy Billy..I don't care what you think.. (Then you should stop over reacting to what I say) Go hate someone else. (Never once did I tell that woman that I hated her but she made it very clear that she hates me, my impression is that she is one hateful woman. Yeah, I’ll go away, at least I won’t leave anymore comments on her blog. I think she would get along with my dysfunctional daughter pretty well though, but maybe not, I sense that she doesn’t like Christians and my daughter is one).

(Anyway, that was all pretty interesting what she put on her blog, to bad others don’t read it or I might have picked up a few more readers on my blog).

The Drama Queen

God always loves a good pissing contest so tomorrow I’m going to address some things that what a lady that I have nicknamed the Drama Queen said about me on her blog. I’m too busy to write about it today.

For now how about a few good jokes.

Albert Einstein arrives at a party and introduces himself to the first person he sees and asks, "What is your IQ?" to which the man answers "241." "That is wonderful!," says Albert. "We will talk about the Grand Unification Theory and the mysteries of the Universe. We will have much to discuss!" Next Albert introduces himself to a woman and asks, "What is your IQ?" To which the lady answers, "144." "That is great!," responds Albert. "We can discuss politics and current affairs. We will have much to discuss!" Albert goes to another person and asks, "What is your IQ?" to which the man answers, "51." Albert responds, "How 'bout them Green Bay Packers?"

Three nuns in church on a hot day decide to remove their robes because of the heat. Not an unusual habit on a hot day. So about a half hour later, the door bell rings while their robes are slumped over pews clear across the huge chapel.They ask who it is. "The blind man," a voice replies.The three nuns decide to simply open the door because the man is blind. He walks in, looks at the nuns and says, "Nice tits! Where do you want me to install these blinds?"

Will things ever change and improve?
Things really haven’t changed a bit on this planet. I have some new neighbors, sort of, they like on the next block, behind Win, but I can see part of their place. They are young people, and they are just as nuts and unruly as I was when I was young forty years ago.

Ending poverty

I read an opinion (news article) that even though there has been much money directed towards eliminating poverty that there really hasn’t been much headway. One of the biggest reasons of course is the greed of the governments and organizations receiving the money and products. They just keep a lot of it for themselves and put the products on black markets. So yes, it is still a rotten world where twenty to thirty thousand people die of starvation everyday because they can’t get enough to eat for any number of reasons.

I fuss about poverty and greed all the time but It’s never been my objective to get rid of poverty. Some people are simply too lazy to work enough to rise above poverty, some of them don’t really care about a lot of material things. What I really fuss about is people starving to death, I don’t think there is any excuse for that. Everyone should be able to get enough food to get by even if they live under a tree. Maybe even a few clothes and blankets.

But I see no reason to give them more than that unless they are willing to work for more. It’s a shame though that greedy governments and people don’t at least see that all people get something to eat. I hate greed, it’s one reason I hate the stock markets.

Retirement

I was semi-retired for eight years before I officially retired. Other than volunteer work I do very little work now, that is for money. Retirement is wonderful and working for others suck, it's really overrated.

Why I Like Retirement!!! (This is just a copy/paste of an email sent to me).

AND, If you have not yet retired, look what you have to look forward too...!!

Happy Mothers Day Helen

This is dedicated to Helen Hall, my neighbor and one of the finest women this planet has ever produced.

People sure think funny

Some people anyway. I know people that go to bars all the time, I go to one some myself just to relax and get a little loose at times. But it’s too expensive to go to them all the time. It doesn’t make sense to me to spend a lot of money that way when it can be better spent in other ways. Some people spend a lot in bars when they need to get their teeth fixed and things like that. Or they spend seventy-five dollars an hour for tattoos all over their body, I really don’t get that. Or they buy new cars and fuss that they can’t afford a home, I don’t understand that either.

I don’t understand how people that don’t even know me jump to conclusions about me either. I left a few comments on one ladies blog because we seemed to have some things in common as she was fussing about some of the things I do. But I guess I was wrong as after telling her some things about myself she just accused me of tooting my own horn, you know, making myself sound good. Hell, I was just telling her what I am.

Below is a few of the things she said to me. Thankfully, the universe doesn’t give a damn what she thinks of me being as my friends and the people I’ve helped see me differently. And she clearly doesn’t like OLD people, I’m not sure what she considers old though, maybe anyone five years older than her. It’s kind of funny really, considering her medical condition she talks about I am guessing that a lot of OLD people are in better shape than she is. I think she needs a shrink, she sounds like the hateful one. BBC

Damn you are a sanctimonious little shit aren't you?
You are elderly, hateful and condescending to every damn person you meet.
You aren't spiritual, you are a spoiled little shit that gets pissed when people wont lay down for you.
Don't comment any more, I don't like you at all. You are a mean little man. Nothing you believe in means anything, you are full of shit.
Keep stocking up for that earthquake you selfish ignorant OLD bastard.
Damn I really can't stand the geriatric set.

Just a few quotes

You cannot slander human nature; it is worse than words can paint it. - Charles Haddon Spurgeon

If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it. – Herodotus

There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub. - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

From 1945 to 2003, the US attempted to overthrow more than 40 foreign governments, and to crush more than 30 populist-nationalist movements fighting against intolerable regimes. In the process, the US bombed some 25 countries, caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair. - William Blum, Author of Killing Hope

Puck it

Thinking that I would like to have a camp or tent trailer seeing as I have sold my big boat, I’ve been keeping an eye out for something useful. Something cheap that I can fix up. Yesterday a friend told me about a Puck trailer that a friend of his has so I went out to look at it.

I’ve never seen one and they sure are different, about nine feet long and six feet wide. And not tall enough to stand up in so they have a round dome on them that is about four feet across, looks kind of like a gun turret. Actually it is roomy inside for it’s size and should be easy to tow. I like the big windows on each side, it’s plenty for overnight camping or day trips to the beach.

The owner wasn’t home at the time he said he would be and after waiting for a half-hour longer I went home. I’m not sure if I will follow up on it and buy it as it needs a lot of work, but it was interesting to look at. There is a picture and history on them at the link below.

Deepak Chopra

You know, Deepak Chopra is just another big fake that has gotten rich writing and speaking nonsense. Nothing he has came up with has improved the world in any way. And his newer mutterings are just that, mutterings. I repeat, for all his claims, he has not made the world a better or more peaceful place. I’ll bet that he doesn’t even go to antiwar protests.

Since moving to America he has become wealthy, lives in a nice home and drives a nice car and I’ll bet that he doesn’t send much money back to his home country to help those folks.

Balance

Balance is important, a little food but not too much, a roof over a persons head, but it hasn’t got to be fancy. Decent health care, work but not too much. Sunshine, friends, music, dance. Humor, that is very important. Why does everyone want so much? A lot of anything hasn’t got anything to do with balance. Ninety-five percent of the people I know want too much and are unhappy that they don’t have it all. I’m happy with what I have personally, what I’m not happy about is the greed all around me and the lack of world peace. BBC

Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace. -Charles Sumner

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. -Aristotle

He who dares not offend cannot be honest. - Thomas Paine

The speed of light

I think that there may be one thing faster than the speed of light.

A thought.

I’m not into playing games on my computer, I think computers are much too important for such trivial things as games. But I did discover the Windows Space Cadet pinball game and I play it at times. It’s great for exercising the eyes after working on a computer for hours. Watching the ball bounce around a lot seems to be good for them, and playing it just before I go to bed seems to help me get to sleep faster. Maybe because it takes my mind off of other things. I don’t care about scores but of the five high scores the game keeps track of, mine have gotten pretty good.

Lowest high score 7,660,250. High score 11,642,500

Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Life goes on

My remaining sister died this morning so I'm the only one left other than an ignorant brother that I don’t talk to, and my friends, the point being, make the best of every day and try to make a difference in the world as no one is assured of being here tomorrow. She was only sixty-five.

What is life about? What have you invested in? Memories, I invested in memories, not even realizing that I would be getting old, money is just an energy to be invested. Memories and love has more meaning than all the money in the world.

Say, have I ever told you about that gal I met while wandering through Arkansas……..

Or when I quit a trucking firm 2000 miles away from home and bought a used car and …….

Or that night in a Nebraska Keno club when I cleaned up on pull tabs and ran off with the cute bartender…..

Or the day I set the track fast time record and went on win all three races I was in that day……

Oh, and I have some fond memories of my sister also, she was a very sweet girl, not like me and always testing everyone. BBC

Cenk Uygur

Cenk Uygur is a regular commentator on the Huffington Post website. He makes a lot of sense to me so I’m putting one of his articles on my blog today, along with some comments by readers.

Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right… By Cenk Uygur

As the song goes, "I got the feeling that something ain't right ... Clowns to the left of me. Jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you." That's the feeling I get everyday as I listen to the leaders of Iran and America drive us further and further down the road of war.
The whole world must feel like we are stuck in the middle as Bush plays the clown on one side and Ahmedinejad plays the joker on the other.

Ahmedinejad, the so-called President of Iran, is either crazy or doesn't know how crazy we are. Either he wants to push Iran into war because he thinks it will help rally Iranians around his fundamentalist government because of nationalist fervor (which actually is quite rational, the part he's missing is the part where we hunt him down and kill his sons and find him buried in a spider hole). Or he thinks he can taunt us and push us around because we couldn't possibly be crazy enough to start a third war in the Middle East. Boy, he really doesn't know us at all.

Today, an Iranian military leader said Iran would strike Israel if it were attacked. I'm sure they would. And it would be a sound strategy in order to gain the sympathy and help of their neighboring Muslim countries. But saying that only aggravates the already far too aggravated situation.

This is only the 189th irrationally hostile comment the Iranian leadership has made in the last two months. If they don't want war, they've got a funny way of showing it.

On the other side, we have a slightly more irrational world leader who is even more volatile - the President of the United States of America. George Bush isn't about to lose a crazy-off with anybody. How sick is it that there is a legitimate debate about who's crazier, the leader of Iran or the leader of the United States?

If you don't think that's a legitimate debate, take this short quiz:

Was it Iran or the United States that committed these following acts of aggression?
A. Threaten nuclear war on another country.
B. Invade a country that did not attack it.
C. Occupy a country for over three years while claiming to give it "freedom."
D. Organize the violent overthrow of the other country's leader.

For all its bluster, Iran has never said they would consider using nuclear weapons, let alone any weapons against the United States of America. Whereas, George Bush steadfastly maintains that he will keep the option of using nuclear weapons against Iran on the table.

Iran did not attack Iraq in the Iran-Iraq War. Iraq attacked, partly at our behest. And they eventually used weapons against Iran that Don Rumsfeld sold Saddam Hussein. Whereas we have attacked Iraq -- twice now. One was at least to defend an ally; the other was a senseless act of aggression against a nearly defenseless country (and by the way, we are now losing this war against a country that originally had no significant weapons when we invaded it - how incompetent does a Secretary of Defense (yes, that same Don Rumsfeld) have to be to get fired around here?).

Iran has not occupied another country in hundreds of years. Nor did they plan the assassination of William McKinley or JFK. But we have been occupying Iraq with our 150,000 troops parked in Iran's backyard for the last three years. And many years ago, we did depose Iran's elected leader Mohammed Mossadegh and replace him with a Shah (otherwise known as a King).
Yeah, those crazy Iranians. They're dangerous.

Any idiot wrapped around an American flag can yell and scream about how he is a patriot as he sends off other people's kids to die. He can shove a whole apple pie in his face and make out with a TV just to show how truly American he is. And he can get all outraged at the facts I just presented and call me anti-American. But it doesn't make the facts go away.

We're also the same country who came to the rescue of the entire free world when it was in jeopardy during World War II. We rebuilt our enemies and showed historic magnanimity through the Marshall Plan. We built the edifice of international cooperation when we set up the United Nations. We treated our enemies with respect and made them admire and ultimately emulate us. This is what made America the greatest country on earth. Not preemptive wars, not jingoism, not first strikes, not false pride, not arrogance and not acts of overt aggression.

We were made great by our silent acts of heroism and our graceful benevolence. And now the people who cheapen this on a daily basis have the nerve to call us un-American.
I am repulsed that we have a leader more unstable than the radical head of Iran. Iran, for all its boastful strut, has not threatened to attack us, let alone with nuclear weapons they don't have (and couldn't possibly have for another ten years). We're the local bullies on the block who are doing the majority of threatening.

The fact that we are having a serious discussion in this country about attacking yet another nearly defenseless country should sicken us to our core. Yet, we are unfazed. Two days ago, the Jerusalem Post reported that we have already asked permission of Turkey to use their airbases for strikes against Iran. This is not theoretical planning. This is real.

You don't go to the extraordinary step of asking permission from a neighboring country for their cooperation in air strikes unless you are deadly serious about actually carrying out those strikes. It is not a small diplomatic favor. This is far from the standard planning that the Pentagon does for any contingency. This is the revving up of the war machine.

In ironies that know no ends, we apparently offered Turkey a nuclear reactor if they helped us to get rid of Iran's nuclear reactors. Yeah, that's just what we need, another country in the Middle East with a nuclear reactor.

I'm a Turkish-American. So, the fact that Turkey is an ally is not lost on me. That being said, it would be insanity to put a nuclear reactor in Turkey to avoid one in Iran. Does anyone on this administration think? Which dumb idea contest did this jewel win?

It must have been hard to unseat previous dumb idea champions like: 1. Painting a plane in the UN colors and hoping Saddam shoots it down. 2. Considering an attack on the headquarters of Al-Jazeera, a news organization in the middle of a civilian city in an allied country. 3. Using white phosphorus against Iraqi cities after we said we invaded Iraq because Saddam used chemical weapons against Iraqi cities.

There were so many honorable mentions that space limitations don't allow for me to list them all. But among all these horrific ideas, George Bush - again - wins the prize. He's going to give a nuclear reactor to another country in the Middle East if they allow him to bomb the non-existent nuclear reactors that are not yet built in Iran. And possibly carry out this attack with nuclear weapons.

They've broken the irony meter.

Luckily, Turkey isn't nearly as dumb as we are. It turned down the request. But you remember what happened the last time it did that. We carried out the attack anyway. If George Bush goes through with this foolhardy and barbaric idea, he will go down in history as one of the biggest warmongers of all time.

We often talk about the warlords in Afghanistan or Africa. But we have the ultimate warlord here. He's started two enormous wars already and he's just getting warmed up.

With fundamentalist clowns to the left of us and Bush administration jokers to the right, I feel like we are all stuck in the middle together. The people of Iran might not be able to stop their crazy leader, but we're supposed to live in a democracy. We're supposed to have power over our leaders. What are we doing to end this madness?

And here are a few comments by readers:

Bush is the worst American of all time, period.

Cenk: American people, more specifically, hard-core supporters of President Bush are in a deep denial stage of just how dangerous he is... sort of like when a person is diagnosed as having potentially terminal cancer and they wish to deny it away until the symptoms overwhelm them and they succumb to the ravages of the disease. Bush has spread a cancer throughout US policy, causing sky-high and going higher oil and gasoline prices (profitable for some, including the Bush and Cheney families), the lasting historical damage of 9/11, NSA spying and the incompetence of Katrina relief... and now creating Iran as an outside enemy of the US to further distract domestic US attention of the ongoing important real issues facing America.

So how do we - ordinary people with ordinary lives - stop this fascist war machine? That's the column I want to see.

Always keep in mind that madness trumps everything else. You can't talk to, negotiate with or mollify madness. That being said, America needs to find a way to banish the NeoCon cabal which would keep America in war for entire 21st century in its efforts to dominate and reshape the world in some nightmarish version of a benign dictatorship ruled by ignorant, arrogant son(s) of the overprivileged.

Is it really a question of what are we doing to end this madness, but more of a question of what CAN we do? The base of the right, coupled with the 32-percenters still cheer on their King unconditionally, because he speaks to them on their level, the lowest common denominator.

Awesome Cenk! Keep the good work coming. To point out the madnesses of King George is what patriotism is all about. How shameful it is to have a president that compares in craziness with his Iranian counterpart.

This is a great analysis of this corrupt, crazy very dangerous administration. Send it to every elected official. They need to see the real facts written in plain English.

Cenk: Nice piece. You go. No more war. It's all a hype today. Where's the Secretary of Peace? Hasn't anybody looked at the pictures of Hiroshima lately?

In the news

Looking at the news everyday reminds me of one thing. Mankind is stupid, greedy, wasteful scum.

Love

Love is what is left of a relationship after all the selfishness has been removed. The last woman I was interested in was pure selfishness though, a real brat, everything was about her. So of course there was no love left for me, she is so small that I’ve never even heard from her again even though I did nice things for her after she blew up with her little tantrum. And she wonders why she has been alone for thirty years, and so unhappy and lives alone. But she deserves to be alone, no man deserves to be stuck with her, that is for sure. There was a lesson here for me, I will avoid these kind of women in the future. I should post her name so other men can avoid her using them, but I won't, karma will take care of it. BBC

Something that flows through me

People just don't understand that when I am bitching and insulting, complaining about how they think and do things, that it is just something flowing through me. Flowing through me, get it? As a human I could care less about most of the problems on this rock because all in all I have it made compared to how many others have it.

But if something that is flowing through me is pissed then I have to allow it because as hard as I try it won't leave me alone, won't allow me to ignore it. So there you go, it is a higher authority that is doing the ranting, unhappy with how things are on this planet.

So don't think of me as doing the ranting and insulting, I swear, it's just something flowing through me. And believe me, it's a pain in the ass from my perspective. Yadda, yadda, yadda..... BBC

Jokes

Three priests are chatting when the first priest says he's going to give up red meat for lent. The second priest thinks for a minute and says he's going to give up sweets for Lent.

The third priest's attention had wandered to a passing woman wearing 4 inch heels and a tiny skirt when the first priest asks him what he was going to give up for lent. After regaining control of himself he returns to the conversation and replies, 'Celibacy.'

A guy goes on vacation to the Holy Land with his wife and mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law dies.

They go to an undertaker who explains that they can ship the body home but that it'll cost over $5000, whereas they can bury her in the Holy Land for only $150.

The guy says, "We'll ship her home."

The undertaker asks, "Are you sure? That's an awfully big expense and we can do a very nice burial here."

The guy says, "Look, 2000 years ago they buried a guy here and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can't take that chance."

Persistence

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." - Calvin Coolidge

American’s are working in just about every other country on this planet, so why are they fussing because others come here to work? How many Americans are working in Iraq for example, taking jobs away from Iraqis? How many are working in Mexico? Americans are sure a bunch of whiners.

Fuck it

I’m not in any mood to be philosophical or benevolent today. So I will just say it straight out, this world is shit because people are all a bunch of shit !!! And if I had the bombs I would kill most of you off because I’m sick and tired of the whole lot of you and your bullshit and your beliefs and how you use each other. And Mrs. God would do the same if she had bombs.

Let's talk about the Sudan and Darfur dammit. Lets talk about murder, rape and genocide. GENOCIDE. What the fuck are you people doing about it. Nothing!! That’s because you are shit !! And yes, the UN is shit also. And that is just one area, things like this are happening all over the planet.

And what are American women doing about all of this? Not much, because for the most part American women are crap that live in nice homes and drive nice cars and take nice trips, they don’t want to screw with their status quo so why should they care much about others somewhere else dying. I have very little respect for most American women.

Yup, it’s a good thing I can’t reach down with a big hand or I would wipe out seventy-five percent of the people on this planet and start over again. How would you live if you where more spiritually advanced? BBC
