Amber Alert Ticker And Some Child Abuse Updates For Everyone!
Category: Friends
For those who don't have one yet, here is a site where you can get an Amber Alert Ticker with a code that is compatible with MySpace.
Also, I have been asked by several people why I haven't written anything on Child abuse in a while, and here's what I tell them: I just got a little tired and weary, depressed really. It's a mind-grueling task to publish that type of material daily. However, at the same time, I am told that child abuse awareness is what I do best. With that said, I plan to start doing more of it in my spare time, just as I did before.
I apologize to those of you whom I have disappointed, but I just needed to clear my mind for a bit. I hope you understand. And I'm sorry for all of the crudity, even though my active mind will most likely find it again somewhere down the line.
Surely you didn't think that I had just forgotten? National Amber Alert Ticker
Hit Generator Detector! The Beginning Of The End For Some "Top Bloggers!"
Category: Blogging
You see them, everyday their blogs fill the "All Categories" section of the most popular myspace blogs, and for the most part they're legit, but not always.
It's no secret that these bloggers get numerous hits and many comments, but what's not evident to the naked eye is the "little help from a friend," better known as a hit-generator. Some (not all) use a programmable hit generator, while others use an automatic page refresher. These obviously can't replace a human comment, but they sure can mimic a legitimate hit. It's for these reasons (and others) that if my plan comes to fruition, we may be saying bye bye to certain "top bloggers."
Much like other devices used in building websites and other internet uses, the hit generator detector would be placed discreetly as a "code" onto certain blogs, completely invisible. It would then determine whether the blog is being automatically refreshed or if it was getting hits from a hit generator.
This whole thing is in it's infancy, and if created would take six months to a year to complete - maybe longer. However, this will mainly be the work of one of my friends with some help and insight from me, so don't count on seeing it for a while. It's starting to look more complex than first thought.
Disclaimer: I'm not questioning the validity of anyone, or their honesty, it's just that I, along with other people, suspect certain bloggers of stretching their popularity a bit when that popularity may really not be as much as they lead you to believe. And don't worry, if I'm subscribed to your blog, you are NOT on that list.
George Carlin - Saved By The Grace Of God! Blog Back Open With Editing!
Category: Religion and Philosophy
And you believed that title?
From the time I first laid eyes (and ears) on George Carlin, I saw an empty, desperate and lonesome man. Carlin wasn't funny as a comedian, he was a funny and pathetic as a human being! Trying to laugh at Carlin's comedy was about as painful as a migraine headache, only I've never puked with a migraine. Maybe a simple belief in God would've helped the old dead son of a bitch?
I don't know. My past difficulties with organized religion is starting to pale in comparison with the modern day atheist/evolutionist and their plight. I mean gees - I thought the Holy rollers of old were bad, but just wait until you get a hold of one of these extremist! And I can't help but put George Carlin right up there with them. Shit, Carlin was as much the epitome of atheist as he was idiot, and then some.
I guess my point is this: The more you bash someone and their beliefs, the more you become just like them. If I didn't know any better, I'd think that those who relish their freedoms to research and discover new things, would relish it enough to shut the hell up and quit pushing the envelope!(Evolutionist?) What? Oh, you didn't like it when those extremist heckled you, but YOU turn around trump them all by freaking out at the mere thought of parts of Bible text becoming a part of certain/specific school literature? And not the mass and ramped influx you'd so love us to believe!
Anyway, back to my thought. Yeah, good ole Georgey boy reminds me of some washed up old preacher who numbered his own days by going against his own gut, and sold out to the way of the desperate and lonely.
I guess the days of trying to see the good in everyone (like I do) is gone. Or did it even exist?
You know what? I get so sad at times because the people around me don't want me being friends with everyone. Someone on one side or the other has to feel threatened - and why? I eat lunch with a gay dude and a black dude, both of which were in a particular class with me over 15 years ago at a local community college. Before you know it, I'm being called a faggot and a nigger lover behind my back - by people who were supposed to be my friends? Do ya think that hurt a bit?
I'm just sorry that we all weren't born with the abilities to love everyone, and that George Carlin is no different than an Independent, 1955 Southern Baptist! Yeah, a loud-mouthed racist hypocrite!
Update: This is nothing more than a rant by me, as well as my humble opinion. I closed the blog earlier, and I also did a bit of editing due to the fact that I was getting private hate messages over George Carlins lame ass! And you know what amazes me? He was a racist and so many other things that we loathe in society today, yet certain atheist/evolution factions would probably drink the worthless bastards urine if they had a chance! Me,I just think he was a lonely old punk! And if you messaged me earlier this morning from a bogus profile and then deleted it, you're a loser as well.You don't count, much like the rest of your life!
Super Quick Question/Poll! Everyones Participation Is Needed!
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers
Okay, here's the deal. Let's say that you work in retail, and your boss specifically orders you and everyone else to park in assigned parking spaces. However, you are against the idea from day one, and you even express your strong displeasure due to the closeness of the spaces, but to no avail. You are told that you will be subject to dismissal if you don't obey the parking orders, so you abide. Two weeks later when you leave work, someone has either backed out too sharp, or pulled in not sharp enough, and their bumper has put a large crease approximately 7" inches wide and 3' feet long down the side of your car. The only problem is that the perpetrator didn't stick around. They are long gone!
..
This actually happened to me five years ago on my 2nd job. I was told "tough luck," literally, by the smartass manager.
Now before I start, I must say that on the importance scale it ranks fairly low, but it ranks nonetheless.
I've got the NBC Weekend Today show on in the background when I hear, "flattering and unflattering bikini's coming up after these messages." With that said, you know that I've got to tune in - right? What a darn debacle!
Basically we have ONE (guest host) woman who is seemingly on a mission to not only cover up that, lean, curvy, tanned, fleshy phenomenon known as the female body, but she's out to deceive the world about the contents of the bikini itself.
First of all, at least three of the five women should have been arrested for visually assaulting innocent people by wearing anything less than a large dress covered by a cardboard box! The before pictures were so wrong on so many levels. These bodies would've made Oprah in a thong look like Pamela Anderson looked in 1994 - HOT! And we know that's not right -don't we?
The cover-up wasn't much better either. Two of the women were fraught with what appeared to be a 50 gallon drum of cottage cheese dumped into a size 1 bikini. Need I say more, except for the fact that I probably won't eat today?!
Then the debacle of the century. Two very lean, curvy and absolutely beautiful women came out. They were toned, tan and both were no more than a size 2 to size 5. So what could be so wrong with that? I'll tell ya. The woman/guest host covered them UP! She said, "more is better." Yeah, do you believe it? The two hot women came back out wearing bikinis which covered nearly everything - even their midsections! No hard, flat stomachs, no cute bellybuttons, nothing!
The problem in all of this was EVERYTHING! Can you say jealousy and resentment? Yeah, that seems to have been her motive. She covered two beautiful and sexy women, all while revealing more of the three monstrosities, all of which weighed no less than 250lbs to 325lbs. Can you say, "sippin on the haterade?" Gees, now I'm gonna have to go buy a copy of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and view it cover to cover just so I can recover.
Left: No, this is NOT what Sir Mix-A-Lot
meant by "Baby Got Back!" Right: Now that's more like it. Yes, this is a fair comparison.
The 4th Of July Draws Near - A Blog For The Troops - And New Song!
Category: News and Politics
It doesn't matter what you think about Dub-ya , what matters is what you think about those who lay theirs lives on the line 24/7 in the hellholes known as Iraq and Afghanistan.
Just remember: While you're bitching about your Hotdog being burnt, your beer being too warm, or it just being too hot outside, there's a Soldier in full armor, wearing long sleeves in temps as high as 115degrees who's being missed terribly by his/her spouse, kids and parents. Yeah they might get to celebrate the 4th - celebrate it behind a large wall that's fortified with other armed Soldiers, tanks, and heavy munitions designed with the hopes of it keeping out cowardly terrorist insurgents.
So eat your burnt weenie, drink that flat, hot, beer or Coke, and thank your lucky stars that you have the freedom to enjoy such things, all while taking that soothing shower before bed. Oops, that's right. I failed to mention the fact that most soldiers bodies are covered in sand beneath that 115degree armor. Too bad that there's a pebble in your shoe.
I call this one - Death From Above! There's None Better!
Could you do this?
Would you do this? Someones daughter, mother or sister. You do your job, and you do it better than anyone else. Because you are an American Soldier, not some two-bit coward. And you thought your job was hard? Imagine training foreign soldiers with no desire to live in freedom. Bagdad 5 Day Forecast As Of Today.

Lesbian. A word, a term, a phrase that is synonymous with the internet. Like cream and sugar, or fire and heat, the internet wouldn't be the same without lesbians - right?
Okay, I know you're wondering where I'm going with this so I'll tell you.
Remember the term hypocrite? The year is 1999 and the internet is starting to boom. People in those days were still mystified with the might and awe of the internet and it's complexity. You could seemingly find everything. News, lesbians, car prices, lesbians, furnishings for your home, lesbians, email and last but not least LESBIANS! Did I mention that you could find lesbians on the internet?
Okay, fast-forward a bit:
My best friend and I were planning to join a friend of his from the Lexus dealership where he worked for lunch. This was no ordinary friend either. This guy was a youth minister/high-end car salesmen. (I know, that's one heck of a combo) Anyway it's both of their days off, so my friend and I meet friend no.2 at his home. We walk in and right there, starring us directly in the face was this:
Can you say BUSTED?! Yep, it seems that Mr. Youth minister was looking at the debauchery known as lesbians! Well, not the lesbians in general, but the corrupt, carnal, flesh-ridden pages of a PORNOGRAPHIC WEBSITE! Oh no, NOT Mr. Minister! He wouldn't do that - would he? No, he would never! Just as the Pastor of a local Amish church/community in Knoxville was never seen by me and others trucking it 15 miles across town to buy Hustler and High Society porn mags. Magazines which he carried to his van (how scary is that?) and drove to a local park. (Even scarier.) My eyes must've been playing trick on me.
No, no tricks here. The last I checked I didn't have magic eyes. And Mr. Ministers explanation you ask? Research! Yep, he claimed to be researching it for a youth class! How crazy is that? It's almost as crazy as another so-called man-of-god who I busted driving to a nearby city away from his home just so he could go out to nightclubs and drink beer and womanize. He was also married and those trips were referred to as Preacher only Bible meetings. Then there's the Church Pastor who used to despise me. And why? Because my girlfriend was a very beautiful lady. A beautiful lady who also played the piano at the church, and preacher man had a crush on her. Yeah, and he also had a wife and 3 kids with one on the way. Luckily karma was on my side. One night Lisa called and advised me that preacher-boy showed up at her door proclaiming his love for her. The scene got so bad that her parents who lived next door had to call the police. It shocked everyone, me included. Needless to say, the church gave him the boot.
My point is this: Why live a lie all while trying to teach the opposite? Maybe I expect people to be more like me - "what you see is what you get." I have no problem with consenting adults looking at adult movies and magazines, however, I do have a problem with lying, hypocritical, reprobate do-gooders doing it and then punishing other for doing the same. And get a load of this: Mr. Amish Pastor was one of the ringleaders a few years earlier who walked the parking lot of an adult store with his cronies, which subsequently caused the store to close it's doors. They closed their doors because of the money they spent defending their constitutional rights against HYPOCRITES! Wow, who would've ever thought it? And people wonder why I loathe organized religion.
Political Correctness - Spawned From The Extreme Left, Suffered By All. Has It Gone Too Far?
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
The answer is yes, it has gone too far, way too far!
I'm setting here having a late breakfast when the Today Show host replies to a question/topic and says, "we've really come a long ways in how we refer to people of different sexual orientations or ethnic backgrounds, but I believe that we still need a lot of work." Are you kidding me?! We? I don't recall giving her permission to speak for me - do you?
Look, when I talk about loving everyone, I mean just that. Respect others because we all have a purpose here, but don't EVER sell out for the sake of political correctness - NEVER!
I'm getting sick of quotes like the one above. And why? Ever hear the phrase, "give'em an inch and they'll take a mile?" That's it! That's all this so-called political correctness has accomplished. It's created a society of overly sensitive wussies who cry, cringe and hang onto the every word of those whom they're talking to. Just waiting and stalking every syllable of every word until it happens! "You said something I didn't like!" "Boo-hoo, that was hurtful!"
Here's the big problem with political correctness:
In a society that literally changes by the day, those specialty groups are never going to get the political correctness which they so desire. Dialect and language which is acceptable today, will be looked at as a scornful and hateful remark tomorrow.
Gays don't want to be referred to as gays or homosexuals, yet if you're ever around any of them, you will find that their own vocabulary is replete with terms such as fag, faggot, queer, etc - just don't use those terms or call one of them a pole-smoker if you're a straight person. Then there are some black folks that don't like to be called black, but would rather you call them "African American," but, conversely though, some will be quick to remind you that they were born in America and NOT Africa, therefore they are strictly Americans. And last but certainly not least are those who face life everyday with a disability. First, the words crippled and retarded were deemed offensive and were thrown out to make room for the newly improved phrase of "special needs." That wasn't good enough though. Many of them were offended that their "needs" were being looked at as more special than others, but rather just different. So then we adopted the phrases physically or mentally challenged. What next?
Remember this one? It's bad enough that our every word is scrutinized, but NBC thought it necessary to send Muslim men into NASCAR crowds with cameras so as to provoke and create conflict. Gees! A man or woman can no longer let their guard down and enjoy their day off work. Work in which their hard earned tax dollars are no doubt going to help support many of those who cry foul, but will gladly spend their money.
Imagine what it'd be like if the extreme left argued everything equal? Yeah, like that's gonna happen!
True. Need I say more?
Hey, it's damned if you do and damned if you don't. Just be advised that there will always be a Jesse Jackson, an Ellen DeGeneres or some other crybaby awaiting your next word, ready to judge, scrutinize and throw you under the bus just because you don't walk, talk, or act in a way that THEY deem appropriate for YOUR LIFE! Remember - IT'S ALL ABOUT THEM!
This one tops them all! The Obama's and Clintons of the world want to prosecute our service men and women for "mistreating" the Koran, but hold those who desecrate the Bible in high esteem as "artist." Wow!
Munchausen: [mún chòwz'n] a fantastic story full of exaggeration, told to impress people: + Proxy: [próksee] somebody authorized to act for another person: Hence the term, Munchausen by Proxy.
This is a very true story, and an amazing one at that.
It's the early 1990's and one of my best friends welcomes his first child into the world. The child is a normal, healthy baby - or was it?
As the first couple of years passed, his child began going to see the Doctors more and more, compliments of his wife. Oddly though, when he spent long lengths of time with his child on weekends and evenings, he failed to see, or pick up on the illnesses which his wife swore that their child had.
Fast-forward: It's now 5 years later and my friend and his wife are divorced, however, their child is seemingly as ill as ever. The only problem though is that whenever he got visitation on weekends and long holidays, the child was perfectly fine! Yep, you guessed it! No illness, no crud, no inner ear infections, NO NOTHING! Just an energetic child who wanted to play.
Finally, after all of these years, he decided to sneak and take his child to an independent Doctor and pay cash for it out of his pocket - and guess what? After all sorts of test including blood test, x-rays, MRI's, cultures and every other test you could imagine, his child was given a CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH!
What? How can that be? I'll tell ya. It's called Munchausen by proxy, aka the wife lied and put their child through hell just to get attention, free handouts and sympathy money. Unfortunately my friend never did anything about it for fear that his ex might really strip a gear and do something crazy and way over the top.
Isn't that sad? This woman bounced her child around from Doctor to Doctor until she found Physicians who would treat and prescribe medication for a child whom they really couldn't find anything wrong with, but who she swore had all of these outlandish symptoms at home. We're talking about giving a child prescription after prescription for Augmentin, an antibiotic which most adults can't tolerate, never mind a small child. Then there were the exploratory needles inserted behind the ear in an effort to find fluid and get a culture from an ear which this crazy mother swore was swollen just the day before. Gees, can you imagine the torture?
Thankfully though, even though my friends child never got any real justice, our legal system is starting to recognize Munchausen by proxy as child abuse.
I only have one question is to the parents who do this to their kids: Why?
In Knox County Tennessee, a measure has been introduced which makes liquor by the drink one step closer to becoming a reality. Right now liquor by the drink is obviously available in the city of Knoxville as well as other areas around the city such as the airport, but not within the county.
This is not at all uncommon all over the US. Most cities have liquor by the drink, but many of the suburbs and rural areas do not. This is due in part because of the heavily populated residential areas. Think about it. People don't want the extra crime associated with bars and nightclubs, especially around their children. Whether at an Applebees restaurant, or at some crazy strip-club, liquor is liquor and it can breed violence, hostility, and of course - drunk drivers - a whole lot of drunk drivers!
This supports my long held theory that the more booze we push on the public, the more fatal accidents and alcohol related crimes we'll have - DUI's being No.1! And no, stiffer penalties and longer jail sentences will NOT help! As long as there is booze available in public places, we will continue to be a society of drunk drivers - plain and simple!
So now if this proposal passes, the people in or around the county will not have to wait for the drunk drivers to filter in from the city because they'll already be there on their doorstep.
Look, don't get me wrong, but I love an occasional double shot of Classic 12 on the rocks with an ice cold beer, but I keep it indoors and away from moving automobiles. I should also say that I have driven a car after drinking alcohol, but it's been well over 10 to 12 years and I have NO plans of ever doing it again. It was stupid! However, if history has taught us anything, it's that booze gives a person courage, thereby making a lot of the younger crowd and those who "only have a few to drink," feel invincible and able to drive. Wow, that's a cocktail more dangerous than the Gin and Tonic itself.
What do you think? Are they asking for trouble by making alcohol more readily available, or is it a right of the citizen to drink as they please?
