Typical day
KNOW THE SYMPTOMS…..PLEASE READ!
Thank goodness there’s a name for this disorder.
Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!!
Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back
on the table and take out the garbage first.
But then I think,
since I’m going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke I’d been drinking.
I’m going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don’t accidentally knock it over.
The Coke is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold..
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye–they need water.
I put the Coke on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I’ve been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I’m going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table..
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I’ll be looking for the remote,
but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I’ll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
the car isn’t washed
the bills aren’t paid
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don’t have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can’t find the remote,
I can’t find my glasses,
and, I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all day,
and I’m really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem,
and I’ll try to get some help for it,
but first I’ll check my e-mail….

Swing, swing swish
Times they are a changing or in other words the scum sucking military contractor that I work for has lost this contract. Yes, it was rebid time and that has been what I have been working on for the past few months. Yes, I said months. The tons of paperwork was submitted to the contracting gods and the decision that was suppose to come out in June came out this month. In fact last week was the announcement, and yes we didn’t make the final grade, found wanting and kicked to the curb. A new contractor has won the prize, the low bid wins again and the work force waited for the axe to fall. The offer letters have come out and a great sigh went through the work force. Yes, you can keep your job doing the same thing at a lower pay. I see a lot of buisness for the employment commision coming up. I did a new job offer so since I am a lazy bastard I am staying with a new evil company at a few dollars more. I have been accused of jumping ship, fuck em, dollars talk bullshit walks.

According to a CNN poll, 9% of the people believe Iran is developing nuclear power for peace full purposes only. Ex President Blow Job Bill says Iran has some explaining to do. Geez Bill ya think!! Well it looks like we are just going to sit around and talk about it until some city goes up in flames.

ho hum,, boring shit
I really don’t know when it happened but I think it was a slow process. One ex girlfriend said I was missing something that I was not completely whole. You see its like this, I really don’t give a fuck about most people. I don’t really give a shit what someone thinks of me, it’s not important in my world. Maybe that would explain some of my political views. I remember days back when it was preached I was my brother’s keeper, well that philosophy sucks wind. What life has taught me is that I need to choose who I call brother. While I don’t think throwing everyone under the bus is a way to live, there are times when you need to cut the losses and throw their ass to the mercy of the world. I don’t buy that I am responsible for some crack head, prostitute, or life long loser. I have worked and sacrificed for what I have, not as hard as some, but harder than a lot. I understand that life is not fair, it never has been and never will. I don’t mind helping someone stand up who has been kicked down by life, but there is a limit to how many times I offer a hand. As I grow older my patience grows shorter, and I don’t know if it is old age kicking in or the completely lack of anything of value in today society. Some where along the way this nation became a nation of pigs. If you don’t believe me just go to any public gathering place and take a look around. We went from a nation that got dressed up to go to town or the grocery store to a nation that will roll out of bed and go damn near anywhere in pajama’s that have been slept in for a week. I am not saying the good old days were all that great but what I am saying is that we lost something along the way. I think its called self respect. We substituted something called style or individualism without restraints and lost a civilization.

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

To be or not to be, a racist or a human or is there a difference?
It seems I have been declared a racist by another blogger. So this required a little definition look up since this I am tad bit confused about what exactly a racist should be.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups. The Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines racism as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular racial group, and that it is also the prejudice based on such a belief. The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism as: “the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others.”
If I use the common denominator from all three dictionaries the theme seems to be beliefs, racial groups and superior. I have some problems with the definitions because the implication is that all racial groups are 100% pure. I much prefer the Oxford definition because to me it doesn’t use the word culture. From that perspective to be racist a person would have to think of an entire race again a definition issue as superior or inferior. So on to the definition of race.
noun
1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.
2. a population so related.
3. Anthropology.
a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use.
b. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups.
c. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans.
4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.
5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.
6. the human race or family; humankind: Nuclear weapons pose a threat to the race.
7. Zoology. a variety; subspecies.
8. a natural kind of living creature: the race of fishes.
9. any group, class, or kind, esp. of persons: Journalists are an interesting race.
10. the characteristic taste or flavor of wine.
–adjective
11. of or pertaining to the races of humankind.
________________________________________
Origin:
1490–1500; < F < It razza, of obscure orig.
Synonyms:
1. tribe, clan, family, stock, line, breed. RACE, PEOPLE, NATION are terms for a large body of persons who may be thought of as a unit because of common characteristics. In the traditional biological and anthropological systems of classification RACE refers to a group of persons who share such genetically transmitted traits as skin color, hair texture, and eye shape or color: the white race; the yellow race. In reference to classifying the human species, RACE is now under dispute among modern biologists and anthropologists. Some feel that the term has no biological validity; others use it to specify only a partially isolated reproductive population whose members share a considerable degree of genetic similarity. In certain broader or less technical senses RACE is sometimes used interchangeably with PEOPLE. PEOPLE refers to a body of persons united usually by common interests, ideals, or culture but sometimes also by a common history, language, or ethnic character: We are one people; the peoples of the world; the Swedish people. NATION refers to a body of persons living under an organized government or rule, occupying a defined area, and acting as a unit in matters of peace and war: the English nation.
Now that I have absorbed all that non knowledge I am still a bit confused. Now it seems to me that depending on the definition of race everyone is a racist or no one is. So am I a racist? I guess it depends on your definition. So using a very lose definition if you’re a Chicago White Sox fan you could be considered racist if you consider your team better than any other team.
