You Can't Please Everybody....

Hey guys and gals...it's been toooooooo long since my last post, I have been super busy and well to tell the truth just plain swamped with school and work and my green tomatoes that will never get red if I don't stop frying them and eating them all up....see I've been busy!
Anyhoo....My gripe today is this...my dear old dad and step-mother wants to have all the "children" together in TN at this cabin they rented for a weekend in September...well we were told that "only blood is invited" which we took to mean that our adopted brother Adam cant go...actually they told us he couldnt because they only want their "blood" related children to go. Ok, so its hurtfull but it's ok...NOT, now we find out that my step-mother's EX-husband's kid (with his new wife) is welcome to go....uuummmmm I dont know about you but unless something magical happened this kid is not her "blood". Well, out of shear principle (and a little hatred :) ) I have decided to boycott this monstrosity of a reunion and I refuse to go...and I think I have my other brothers talked out of going too! So there...evil never wins!
And to put the icing on the cake I am trying to talk everyone into going to our own cabin in TN in September just to run a little salt in the wound!
Does that make me mean? Or just plain spitefull?
Well as I continue to pass the word on to all the siblings that there is a cabin vacation in the works and everyone can come...I am faced with the question of "why does this person have to go" and even "can this person be left out cause it'd be so much more fun that way"....
Why cant we just say "sure...the more the merrier" instead of "Im not going if they are"...it seems to me that people are just big ole babies and in need of a diaper change and maybe even a pacifier or bottle from time to time...it's not like we all havent seen these people drunk off their asses and making a big fool of themselves...trust me people it wont be a big surprise if you get drunk and fall into the hot tub...the good news is those people you dont want to go will be the sober ones to haul your drunk asses out of the water and save you! LOL
I'm on the verge of saying "Lets all go" and when they give me their conditions my reply is going to be "to hell with you then...rent your own cabin and drown in the hot tub for all I care!"
And trust me folks...this vacation train will gladly leave without them...and their conditions!
Either way this works out I still wont be at cabin with the stipulation that we all be "blood" related....its just wrong and I object!
Well it's late and I'm off to be for now...expect more later because I feel a loooonnngggg rant coming on....

I miss you already!

OMG! SOA....I cant believe the seasons over...now I wait....and wait until next year and next season....SOA reruns are the only one's that are awesome the second time around! So when I get to jonesen for some SOA...rerun here I come!
Good to see Big Otto back for the finale....and for his revenge....cant believe the Irish ass took Abel....Halfsac is no more...or maybe at deaths door (one can hope and pray he survived the stabbing but....SOA aint one to sugar coat it)...Zobelle is runnin for his life but I have a feeling he'll get his and then some...Gemma....oh Mamma Gemma is in the wind with Unser...gotta kill Stahl and set this straight so she can come home...Hale...well he finally wised up...a little anyways...Westin....I know he got what he deserved and I'm glad for it but its kinda sad that in a world with very few people who actually stand behind their beliefs and their decisions to the death that he had to go....but he did have to go and I must say he took it like a man....I can respect that....
Well....farewell season 2....I am here...waiting for season 3....and definately watching seasons 1 and 2 over and over and over and over....See ya next year guys....I miss ya already!!

Let's hope St. Peter ain't asking for proof of income!

I went to God's food pantry today with a friend...and I have to say that I was disgusted at how people were being treated there...they turned away 4 people because they didnt have proof of income! What the hell?? They are there to get food because THEY HAVE NO INCOME! These people were turned away and told to go to the unemployment office and register for work and get a paper saying they did so....THEN go to the food stamp office and register for food stamps and get another paper saying they did so AND THEN bring both papers back to the pantry and they would see if they could get them some food....THEY WOULD SEE IF THEY COULD GET THEM SOME FOOD.... What the hell have we become? Bureaucratic, holier than thou, ass kissers get to sit behind a desk and point their gold encrusted fingers at those less fortunate and shame them for being down on their luck in front of a whole office full of people who are patiently waiting their turn to be embarrassed and called out by the higher eschelon of muckety mucks!
I couldnt believe it...I thought about grabbing the lady behind the desk and screaming at her that these people (who had children there) were there to get help...who better to help them than GOD'S FOOD PANTRY! But Nooooooooooooo not unless they can show they have income or are trying to get income....
“Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25:31-46
Nowhere in that verse does it say....you better bring proof of income or proof that your looking for income or dont come at all....
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME GOD'S FOOD PANTRY....SHAME!!!!!!
If I ever need help I'm going to the catholic church...they dont turn away unemployed people...they feed them and help them get warm clothes....and no one has to show proof of income!
What a crock the pantry is...my food donations are going to the catholic church and any other soup kitchens in town...I want my contribution to be used on those who really need it...not held for ransom until they comply with bureaucratic rules....SHAME!

Sons of Anarchy!!

Ok folks...tonight makes 4 episodes into the 2nd season (its on FX by the way at 10) and I am already dreading the finale! I know its coming....and its like I wanna watch every episode but my gut knows each episode brings me closer to the end of the season....its a vicious cycle but I love it just the same!
If you've never watched the show believe me when I say you are missing out on one of the finer things on TV! This show is fierce, its violent, its scary, its intense and even romantic in its own way...you couldnt ask for a better hour of television...specially since The Shield retired...Kurt Sutter is the shit when it comes to awesome TV! The cast of this show is awesome...each part is played by these actors as if they were truly the characters...its unreal how each one makes their part real.
I have to say that even though each character has their own appeal...Tig and Chibbs are my favorites...there's something dark and sinister about Tig that makes him oh so sexy...and Chibbs...well his accent and his smoldering hottness is about all I can take....call me crazy but I love them both....Hell I love the whole show! And Gemma...well lets just say I would so like to be like her...she is bad ass...and I must admit...she is a hottie!
Everyone I know watches Sons of Anarchy...its awesome...if you havent watched it you should give it a chance....Tuesday nights at 10 on FX!!!!
Let me know what ya think....

You Never Know When You Might Need Some Help...

I have found that after losing everything to help out my step daughter and her drug addict, drunken, waste of skin and oxygen boyfriend who is now sitting and hopefully rotting in jail as I write this for a warrant, felony child endangerment and attempting to allude a police officer because the asshole ran from the cops and left his 2 year old behind....I have found that helping people is a good thing but some people expect it from you because either 1, they are your family or 2, they think the world owes them because theyve had it hard....
Well I've dealt with both those types and neither one is ever grateful but if you help people for the thanks and applause then you're doing it for the wrong reasons....HOWEVER, I would help any one of my friends or family until I had nothing left...which I have.
My question is this....why is it that now I am at rock bottom...no home...no money from my paychecks because I have to pay up everything I'm behind on and each week Im more behind than the last....why is it that some people take that as a sign to try and cheat me out of what little I have left...or make me feel like I am a worthless piece of scum because I have nothing....?
I will have something again...its only a matter of time...Im like the little engine that could...mostly because I have...I keep chugging along until I reach the top of the mountain, the only difference is this time I wont be heading full steam ahead into the downhill pits....lol.
So while I'm here saying....I think I can, I think I can....believe me I can...and I will...and if you treat me like a stupid idiot who is desperate to sell all my belongings for chump change and broken appliances you're the fool because I know its only a matter of time before I'm back on top and I'm gonna be using those appliances and things instead of saving to buy new ones because someone cheated me out of the ones I already had!
I healp people whenever I can because its the right thing to do, you never know when you might need some help in return....
When have you needed help or helped someone in need?

Adios Patrick Swayze...

Today I, as with many, mourn the loss of one of the greats....Patrick Swayze. This was a man who set the bar for all my future boyfriends after I watched him in Dirty Dancing and then Road House. To me this man was my youth, every weekend for a full summer after Dirty Dancing came out my friends and I would rent it and watch it back to back leaving only enough time to rewind the tape. We taped the the movies dialogue on cassette tapes so we could listen to it everywhere there wasnt a vcr. I can quote all the lines from that movie, word for word and dance every dance step by step. Point Break made us all want to be a surfer and hang out on the beach, the Outsiders made us all want to rumble, Ghost made us all believe that love lives forever. I want to believe that now.
To his family and friends...my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of loss and thank you for sharing this great treasure with us for so long. For the other fans...lets remember this icon and honor his memory by sharing with the next generation all the laughter, love, honesty and general bad assness that he gave to all of us...may his memory and his art live forever!
R.I.P. Patrick Swayze, you will be truly missed and you will always be truly loved!
This weekend will be a Patrick Swayze marathon at my house...every movie he ever made will play in honor of this great artist...I encourage each of you to do the same...a tribute to a great and talented and handsome man.

9/11

Today began like any other...except for the reminders of that day eoght years ago...
Every time I wrote the date today I remembered where I was that day and how I felt...every time I think of it I remember...
Every day I say a prayer for the men and women who are risking their lives for our freedom, every day I say a silent "Thank You" to the veterans that have survived terrible wars only to come home to the thankless masses who judge them for what they had to do...
Today as with all the other days I would like to say "Thank you to all those on active duty and all those who have ever fought for the freedom of our nation...and most of all Thank you to the those who gave their lives so that we can go to the church of our choice, buy the things we choose, and say what we feel without the threat of the firing squad!"
Have you thanked a Veteran or active military personnel today?
