Wow, this one is short...
Who Cares, why should we care, can we afford to do this, and why the fuck does this matter to anyone?
Was the Britney-To-Namibia Story a Hoax?
People live your own lives, make them better, don't care about these celebrities, chances are they don't care about you.

The Ever Popular "Don't be a Dumbass"
Preface:
Anyone who reads this and starts going crazy because atheltes are people too, they can suck it.
Ben Roethlisberger...
What can I say? Oh yeah, I know... You are a complete and utter dumbass!
Was that motorcycle ride worth it? Was it worth potentionally career-ending and permanent injury? Was it worth sacrificing your future?
Now I understand the money he made in the last two years can take care of my needs for the most part for my entire life, but let us reflect.
First of all, if he should miss any time due to these injuries, if he should have ANY lingering phyiscal effects, even he has some lingering mental effects, he should give back the proportional amount of money for those games and that percentage from his signing bonus.
I had someone respond to this rant, she being a liberal laywer began going on saying that atheletes are people too, and they should be able to do whatever they want, which I agree Constitutionally. However, my response was one of a sports fan, and also of a different logic. Understanding that people can choose to invest their money in whatever they want, and there is an inherent risk that they loose their investment in a myriad of different ways depending apon investment. In this case however, Big Ben's health is directly proportional the overall performance of the Pittsburgh Steelers. His product is specifically tied to his body and his mental ability to recognize defenses, coverages, routes, and so on. A "normal" human can't do what he does on his level, those are his specific gifts. I believe this argument would be equally viable if Roethlisberger was doing drugs which would potentionally limit his mental AND physical abilities, while also occuring the potentionallity that he could have a catostrophic physical reaction, a la stroke, heart attack, etc. By the way as a Detroiter, I will tell you that Charlie Batch is no where near the quarterback that Roethlisberger is.
Further, the common person invests their money in a sports team, buying tickets and merchandise. The fan pays the salaries of all the players, coaches, employees, and so on. If there were no fans, there would be no professional sports. Understanding the risk factor as mentioned above, fans are also losers in this senario, especially season ticket holders. Season tickets holders cannot withdrawl their investment when something happens that is catastrophic to a team.
Furthermore, in the age of the salary cap, it isn't like the a team can get money back so they can sign someone else, at any position, AND FURTHERMORE, there is NO way that they can a player that has value as Roethesburger does. Also depending upon the time of the year, there is little chance you can find two players that would add up to his total impact.

A Calmer Reflection...
Look folks
The fact of the matter is that gay people are NOT destroying family values in the United States. Ignorance is destroying family values. Heck, one can even argue that the politicians themselves are a leading cause of the demise of family values. How many politicians are caught screwing other people than their spouses, and you can bet that is both Repuplicans and Democtats. However, if we'd simply, if we'd just learn communicate with each other, educate each other, and learn to discuss our problems and accept people for who they are, whether gay, straight, black, white, red, yellow, Catholic, Baptist, Buddhist, Agnostic, atheist, and so on, we eliminate many of these problems. A good person is a good person reguardless. Conversely, a asshole is and asshole. We should be able to evolve past the point of alienating people based upon sex, race, creed, or sexual orientation.
Sound Familiar Anyone?

Amendment on Gay Marriage... MY ASS!
Hello All,
I am not even going to waste the time to talk about the moralarilty for or against gay marriage, so many other folks are doing it, go search it out that discussion elsewhere. I am not even going to discuss if I am a Democrat or Rubplican, Conservative or Liberal.
I am going to talk about the even sillier issue:
WHY IS OUR GOVERNMENT EVEN WASTING TIME AND RESOURCES ON THIS?
Let us for one minute talk about all the other things we could and should be worrying about, hell, let's not talk, let's just list:
1) National Security
2) Education
3) National Economy
4) National Poverty
5) War in Iraq, for or against
6) Poverty
7) Health Care
8) Stopping AIDS
9) Social Security
10) Enviromental Anything
11) Iran, China, North Korea
12) Curing Cancer
13) My Taxes
14) How they spend my taxes
15) Anything 1st Amendment
16) The 2nd Amendment, for or against...
17) Fine tuning wellfare
18) NASA
19) Finding out who the Unknown Soldiers are
20) Pick Something Else... Like Stopping Dutch Elm Disease or the Ash Boar
Second, let's all review what it takes to pass an Amendment to the Constituation.
1) Must pass in the House with a 2/3 Majority
2) Must pass in the Senate with a 2/3 Majoirty
3) States must Ratify it with a 3/4 Majority
I probably missed about a half dozen steps, but does that look like this is going to happen? Good Lord, who the hell even though that there was a chance of getting enough support, in the Senate alone, almost 50% of them are Liberal Democrats.
What this is, is a smoke screen for the President and Ultra-Conservative Republicans to pick up their approval ratings in an Election Year. The sad part is that they prey upon the Religiously Stupid, I mean the Religious Right. Folks that don't use their own minds in formulating their views, morals, and ideals. Sad to say many of these folks must be told how to vote. Also, what I find even funnier, is that they also prey on the poor and uneducated. It's hilarious, we aren't worrying about how people are going to eat, we are worrying about who people are eating.
STOP WASTING MY TIME, STOP WASTING MY MONEY!

The Da Vinci Code
Hi everyone and anyone...
Ok, right off, if you think this blog entry is going to be about another Christian going bloody crazy over the The Davci Code and saying how sacrilegious it is and all that; well, you too can take your uninformed ass and follow it directly to place where you think all the heathens are going. That's right morons, go to hell!
First thing first, just to not get anyone confused, I am an WELL Educated and Devout Roman Catholic, which for all of you in the cheap seats, I am one of those Christians that reports to the Vatican, you know that city/state/country in the middle of Rome.
I enjoyed the Da Vinci Code. The Code is a well constructed mystery based upon a good amount of historical fact. Please do NOT miss the word "BASED" in that last sentence. Like all good realistic fiction and story telling, the tale is rooted in fact, science, and ideals we hold to be true. Given my upbringing and education (that would sixteen and a half years of Catholic Grade School, High School, and College), I believe myself to be educated in the beliefs, theories, and traditions of the Catholic Church. As I was also I was an Altar Boy, I learned first hand every part of the Mass and what each part of it means and symbolizes. I know why we sit, stand, and kneel at different parts of the Mass, I know why we recite and say the prayers we do during the Mass, I even know the some of the more obscure Masses like Easter Vigil, Good Friday, Holy Thursday, Stations of the Cross, Weddings, Funerals etc. My point being I know what I am talking about....
So let me start with all you Christians who are freaking out over The Da Vinci Code...
All you lemmings... If you need to know what a lemming is, let this defition suffice from Wikipeadia. The term "lemming" is often used in slang to denote those who mindlessly follow the crowd, even if destruction is the result. Back to the point...
All you lemmings...
GET a LIFE, GROW UP, get an EDUCATION, and EXPLORE your FAITH.
The Da Vinci Code is no more blasphemous to Christians than National Treasure was to Americans. THEY ARE BOTH FICTION. ALL of the HULLABALOO has got to stop. OMG! People, get over it! Are you so weak minded, scared, and uninformed that this going to ruin your "Citadel" like faith in Christianity (don't forget your moat)? You know what, even if it was true, Christ's Message would still be the same, don't you think? Honestly, if it was true, wouldn't that make man closer to God, because His genetic coding would be part of many of us? Funny, its more like X-Men than anyone realizes. More than anything, we would just find another way to discriminate between ourselves.
Actually, Dogma was immensely more sacrilegious, and nobody went nuts over that film. Oh yeah, maybe that is because it satarized the Catholic Church AND it wasn't realistic. Talk about taking shots at Christian faith and Catholism, did you morons miss all of that? You know, I laughed at that film just like I am laughing at all of you uneducated bible wielding holy rollers who have nothing better to do with their lives or time than rally behind a cause you have no clue about. First off, if you really want to stand for something, educatate yourselves first, and at least see the damned movie at least.
If you really want to do something that will do good for the world or make an impact on society, try some of these options:
1) Work on world hunger. Take your lazy self-righteous ass down the to the soup kitchen and help those folks out, I bet the most of you have never been to one.
2) Combat Cancer. Talk about about a killer in the mist, raise money for the Ameican Cancer Society or the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
3) Teach people about abstinence or safe sex. Whatever your spin, teach young people not to get knocked up at such an early age, so they can continue their own growth and education, instead of providing and caring for a kid they have no way the means nor the know how to take care of. Stop de-evolution. Further on this, STD's, HIV, and AIDS are just as deadly, and yet ridiculously more avoidable.
4) Join the Peace Core. It's not for me, but hell, at the least they are doing something proactive.
5) Go to college, get your GED, DO SOMETHING for the Love of God. Education can only help your narrow-minded, uneduacated, and unexplored views. If I have learned one thing, it is never piss off a black woman or anger someone who can smite your butt from the fifth dimension with 1.21 gigawatts of electricity.

An opening from 2004...
Hey all, Long time no see...
Well, I know I haven't updated this bad boy blog in weeks...alright, make that months, but life has sort of been a constant state of survival for me. No, I am not saying I have been fighting off terrorists from taking over suburbia, or combatting a series of commando Green Beret crickets that have been air droppped from Virginia, nor have I been surviving the onslought of a Hurricane in Florida (more on my views of that later). I have been in Michigan the entire time. Oh yes I have.
This is actually a pretty good opening from September 14, 2004. I am not entirely sure what state of mind I was in consdering the title was "At Least I Didn't Jump Off the Ambassador Bridge." I am actually surprised that I can write creatively, I always viewed myself as a Editor.
Thanks Dave and Karl!
