Under construction........

This long neglected site needs some updating, bear with me as I re-tool links and delete some dead posts. most of it should be available as I do this but bear with me......seems as good as anyplace to start writing again........:)

And another candle blown out...........

Back in what I tend to refer to as my previous life, I used to have a job with a large customer base and some favorites that really became good friends over the years. One of those friends was a goofass who went by the nickname Krockett and to be honest was pretty much batshit insane.........in short...my kind of people.      He'd come to our service counter and harass the girls (I was working for a small branch of a larger industrial supply company), bullshit with the guys....share new leads and drink half a pot of my coffee while buying maybe $3.00-$4.00 worth of o-rings......and unless I had a bigger problem to deal with, I honestly welcomed his visits.      I remember one time I was on the phone, so a co-worker took care of his pick-up order......she came back and threw the receipt and the check he used to pay for it on my desk....and literally said..."he's your friend......you deal with this shit!" When I looked at the receipt everything seemed in order.....then I saw that he had signed his check "David Dribbledick"....yet again...He asked me try to cash it just to see what the bank would do, I did and ironically they cashed it.......lolol      He was a huge animal rights advocate, was big into supporting local rescue groups.......loved his two dogs as much if not more than his wife. He was just one hell of a nice guy and I am damn lucky to have know him....      Krockett (David Krieger) was gunned down this morning in the parking lot of his family business. A man outside was kicking a dog that liked to hang out there..Krockett went out to stop him...the man pulled out a gun, shot him twice in the chest and ran away.......only to be caught a few hours later in a house less than a 1000 yards away from where the shooting took place.. I'm drinking a beer right now in his name, I invite any of you to do the same. This is not what I had planned on posting today....but it's a post about a good person.....

My lass is blogging......:)

My lovely lass is trying her hand at blogging and I invite you to check her new work. It's mostly food and porn....or food porn, I may have the ideas confused.....but please check it and say hello>>>>>:) Recipes and Therapy and as always..........boobs for reading the whole post......:)

Racism and Bigotry.........

A dear friend of mine started a thread this weekend on her FB wall regarding unfriending somebody because of the racist comments that person posted on his own wall. While I don't support his behaviour, (silent u there just to piss off racists who don't like proper spelling) it got me thinking.......and opinions would be appreciated.      I for one can appreciate her decision to disassociate herself with this man. They were FB friends, so his wall displayed on her FB, she didn't like the message and he kids can see it, so buh bye. This to me makes perfect sense, but then two things that puzzled me developed....... 1) She outed him to people / common friends who didn't notice his racist posts...or didn't give a shit. 2) The thread slowly turned into an anti racism but lets bully the guy "because racism is bad and should be illegal....because that's.....well BAD...M'kay" It actually was kind of interesting to see  people saying OMG!! I just deleted him too!! I will not associate with a racist!!! These are the same people that much like myself, post memes and stickers and food porn and any other number of arguably sad or hilarious images that most assuredly pisses somebody off.........do you see where I am going here??????      Maybe the guy was indeed an unapologetic skinhead jackass worthy of my friend saying goodbye to. That said, nobody else followed up with him before deleting him. Is racism bad? I believe so. Are most people atleast a teeny bit racist or bigoted in some way? I also believe this to be true. I believe everybody has a discomfort zone, you may be fine with blacks or asians or gays but have an opinion somewhat less flattering hispanics, or mormons, or people that watch maurey povich.......it's how we express it that matters.      I for one will keep telling drunken Irish jokes and presume you are not an asshole until you prove me wrong. If you prove me wrong, all it proves is you are an asshole........:) Boobs for reading the whole post.......:)

Starting Again.....................

My good friend Jax and I were talking on Facebook not so long ago....(Yes and fuck you, when you get old you go to FB and die now that kids.......and arguably us have sucked all the life out of it.....or back to irc and do the same....I hear myspace is becoming relevant again...that's some funny shit there...I kill myself..) an we kinda agreed to start blogging again. So I'm sitting in front of the screen and even after the holiday.......I've got....well.....not a fucking thing. This should have been a long weekend and ripe with stories to be shared....exploits to be reveled in...hookers and midgets and zebras.........the hell happened to my life??? It's not as if I've truly lost my sense of humor or irony...I laugh pretty much every day and mostly at myself, deservedly so because I am kinda a dumbass. Why just tonight...my lovely gf made me snicker as her last words were "Fuck you!! Tellitubbies...and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!" Made me snork just a little.... I guess this weekend is a good reminder that maybe I do still need this place...to type this shit and not just chew it like cud............maybe this will help me stop eating my brain.....maybe this will just plain help. Boobies for reading this far.......:) Till my next post....:)
