I remember when we weren't stupid.
I remember it all too well.
Then we became so stupid we had to think to breath. So stupid that we let some people shit on us and did or said nothing about it.
That's not cool.
We woke up one day and remembered we weren't the idiots we were being played for.
Why don't you.
Pimpin' Ain't Easy
Rants on things going on in the world today as well as some personal crap that bugs me here and there.
Rants from the Madman
And I will execute great vengeance upon them, rebuking them in fury: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my righteous vengeance upon them.

I got this from a buddy who went to Iraq with me. Its been circulated a bit but I know a lot of folks haven't seen it.
WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH? My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed. Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now to begin the reckoning.
Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.Need help with a famine? Wres tling with an epidemic? Call France.In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.
Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China.
I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.
I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.
A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.
Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, border security.
Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.
We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there. They care.
It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin."
Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.
To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic. God bless America. Thank you and good night.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.
My thought is, just what would the rest of the world do if we did do just that? I mean......we have as a nation sweated, bled and starved for other nations willing to take our money in one hand and flip us off with the other. Is it time to look out for ourselves first? Shouldn't we, the richest nation on earth, have the best education programs and medical care system? Why do we have people who go hungry, who are homeless...hell, who are still waiting for this country to help them after Katrina? Should we close the doors, even if its only for a few years?

Hunting Polar Bears in my pajamas in the Congo.......
Now, I know what you're thinking.....
How did those Polar Bears get in my pajamas.....
Anyway,
Taken a small Hiatus from COX......4-6 days...whatever....drama too much...seems like everyday there is something. Got a new PC non-online game. I know.....who plays those anymore?!? Well, I do from time to time......and I enjoy this one Galactic Civilizations 2. Lots of planning and plotting and experimenting to see what works and how to make things that didn't work the first time work the second time. Loads of fun. I also have Black for my PS2 and that game kicks major ass.....take it from someone who has done some of that stuff......it was a lot like doing it again....for real....except that first aid kits don't patch you up and let you Charlie Mike in the real world when you get shot up at close range by an AK47 but the feel...the intensity....the almost surreal sharpening of senses....its there. It would be nice to fire from the prone, especially with the sniper rifle but its still very well done.
Ok.....I'm going to say this for the record....in case anyone missed it in other posts or doesn't know me. I don't kiss anyone's ass....PERIOD. Does that mean I come off as a jerk at times? Sure. Am I apologizing? Hell No!
You see, I believe that a person has to accept responsibility for anything and everything they say or do OR fail to say or do. Its too easy to look at someone else and say "its their fault" and not look to see what you did or didn't do...what you could have done different. Everyone wants to say "I had a messed up childhood" or "my daddy beat me" or some other lame assed excuse for them being fucked up. Bottom line is you have a choice...in every single thing you do or say....every time.......no if, ands or buts about it....you have a choice. You can do what you want or you can do what's right and let me tell you, they are often different. I know.....what about the thing where you had to do bad something or some evil SOB whacked you? Well you choose to live or die, don't you. YOU do.....they make you choose but YOU do it...YOU. Have I fucked up in my life? HAhahahaha....boy have I and you know what..."I" did it...I made those choices...ME, not God, not my mother, not the Easter Bunny....me. I honestly don't give a rat's ass why someone chooses to kill someone, rob someone rape someone.....bottom line is they chose to do it and now they should be paying the damned tab on it. Does that make me a cold and heartless SOB? Fuck if I care what YOU think that makes ME....I live with myself just fine and you can either accept me or fuck off. That's your choice. Me? I ain't kissing anyone's ass......ever.
Not sure quite what made me say that last paragraph but needless to say I have a thing about people taking some personal responsibility. Call it a pet peeve.

Ps. Next time maybe my arcane theories on relationships. That'll be a hoot!

Someone should do a Psyche Thesis on the psycho-social interactions in an MMOG with regards to Roleplay. Seriously....a lot of the people who engage in Roleplay in an MMOG can't seem to sepearte reality form the pixels on the screen. I never cease to be amazed at the jealousy displayed with regards to these games and what amounts to a cartoon character. If someone plays with you, even as a GF or So, they are playing a role......you may actually create a friendship but if you've never really met this person then how in the hell can you "form a relationship"? No...really?
OK...so the title is slightly wrong....I have one moooooore thing....people suck. If you accept that and plan on that then you will be pleasantly suprised when they turn out to be ok. If you plan on them being "nice", a staggering amount of the time you will be sadly disappointed...or hurt.
PS: to the dynamic duo........#$%$*&^ please!
