Random Mind Dumpings

*I know anyone living in the metro Atlanta area who has cable is tired of seeing Jim Martin Vs. Saxby Chambliss Senate Races commercials.

*I wonder if Obama will establish a College Football Playoff during his presidency. Can you comprehend what that will do with his approval ratings?

*If child molestation became a crime punishable by death, do you think the child molestation rate would decrease? Let's execute a few pedophiles and find out...

*Has any Paris Hilton Fan ever wondered, "wait, why is this Chic famous in the first place?"

*Have you ever wondered if the people that create the Antivirus Software on your computer are the same people that create the new super viruses that will cause you to update your current Antivirus Software for a small fee?

*I really hope the latest economy woes do not ruin the Holiday Season for people. Maybe this year, people will focus on something else, other than money, that makes them happy this season.

Scowling At Confederate Flags

The first of many aspects of the South that caught me off guard when I moved down here from Las Vegas in 1997 was the fact that there are still people around here who think the Confederates have a fighting chance against "Northern Oppression." It's been a while since I have taken a history course, but I could have sworn the Civil war was decided 143 years ago.

Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those Black Men that get offended every time I see one. I don't assume that who ever flies a Confederate Flag is automatically a racist. Any one who took notes during history class knows that the Civil War didn't become a fight over slavery until the Emancipation Proclamation (drafted about halfway through the war to prevent foreign powers like France from aiding the South). But I also don't believe in this "heritage over hate" bullshit. I think "heritage over hate" is what a "rebel" would say if he accidentally drove their pickup to the wrong part of Atlanta and ran out of gas.

Is there really "heritage" involved with the Confederate flag? How can this represent Southern culture when it was used during a time when the South didn't even want to be part of the United States anymore? I'm sure everyone nowadays flying the Confederate flag is proud to be living in the United States although their great-great-great-great-grandfather's probably didn't.

My purpose is not to have every Confederate flag burned. I think there are very few people who fly the flag for historically accurate reasons. I don't scowl at the flag when I pass a Confederate burial ground or a Civil War museum. Anyone who dies in battle deserves respect in death no matter what cause they were fighting for. I do scowl at stupid redneck highschoolers in Indiana who wanted to show their "heritage" at their school by wearing confederate flag paraphernalia (Indiana fought for the North as I recall...so much for heritage). I do scowl at Neo-Nazi's and Aryan White Supremacist that use the flag in their rituals and stupid shit that they do (I'm sure the people that created the original confederate flag had different aspirations for the flag).

Now for the Klan members...I don't care what the hell they do. They wear their sheets for the whole "ghosts of the confederate soldiers" theme so I can't really scowl at the fact that they use the flag in their cross burning rituals. *as a side note, what kind of self respecting adult joins an organization with titles such as grand wizard and cyclops?* I only ask that the Klansman keep the sheets on their heads...PLEASE keep them on your heads. I saw the mug shots of the eight Klansman that shot the woman in Louisiana. Now I see why they wear masks, that's the smartest thing they have ever done.

I Am Not A Poet

I have been having trouble controlling my thoughts,
I can not predict which direction my thoughts flow.
It would be like predicting the pattern of a snowflake,
Or predicting the waves of rising inscence smoke.
The only way I can put my dreams on a leash,
And make my conscious world a little more exciting,
Is to put these random thoughts on paper,
And expressing my waves and patterns in writing.
But these waves and patterns are not poetry,
They are just thoughts that pop up again and again,
To the point where it boiles and flows out of my body,
In the form of dark ink from my ballpoint pen.
I am just a normal average everyday person,
I don't consider myself a poet in any kind of way.
The writing on this paper is just a result,
Of what happens when I let my mind go astray.
Does this really look like a poem to you?
It has no flow and isn't written nice and neat.
I'm no Edgar Allen Poe and my efforts are cheap.
A lot of people know that my rhyming is kind of...weak.

Bluetooth Douche-Bags

I'd hate to sound old fashioned, but I thought I would never see the day a wireless hands-free communication device that clips to your ear becomes the new trend in this society. I find it pretty amazing how normal, average everyday people all of a sudden have lives that require them to communicate with someone over the phone while simultaneously performing various tasks that involve both of their hands.

I am assuming they are really affordable (based on who I see wearing them) but are they all that necessary? Don't get me wrong, I am not calling out the people I see who constantly have to multi-task.

I am calling out the people I see just walking down the street with them. I'm talking about the people that don't have cars and are unemployed, but still have to have one. I'm talking about the douche-bag who wants to look like he/she is someone important who only talks to important people. I'm talking about the people who think that conversations with them are so high in demand that they just have to have a mic in their ear "just in case" they get a call while they are masturbating or something. Why does everyone want to look like a secret service agent?

I think this is a retarded trend that will eventually go away and get replaced with something equally as useless, if not more. In the mean time we are stuck in a society where we constantly think people are talking to us when they are really talking to an ear attachment the size of a well fed cockroach.

Be Gentle, It's My First Time

So this is blogger.com huh? I like it so far.

I am not a very social guy, but I do talk a lot. I guess this this is the place to do the talking without having to worry about all of the social standards associated with facebook.com, the immaturity issues of myspace.com and the technical glitches that came with rottentomatoes.com.















In a nutshell, I'm your typical opinionated guy enjoying life in the crazy city of Atlanta. I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog since the elections are finally over and people are eventually going to talk about something else for a change.

This will be nothing fancy as I just see this as a way to talk shit, give updates, rant about stuff and most importantly vent all I want.

I hope you enjoy! - Karma
