MLK Day & Inauguration

It took a heated Presidential race in this day and age for people to realize how divided this country really was and a lot of people displayed their true "colors" in 2008. There were the well-informed as well as the ignorant on both sides. What a lot of people don't understand is that although the country was almost spit in half over this past election, everyone that showed up at the polls and waited in line had at least one thing in common: they wanted what's best for this country.

A majority of the voters waiting in line felt that the gas prices were too high no matter who they voted for. A majority of the voters waiting in line felt that the economy needed some desperate attention no matter who they voted for. A majority of the voters were concerned over the steadily increasing unemployment rate no matter who they voted for. With all of these similarities, Americans simply disregarded the fact that they all had the same problems, and instead fought about how different their solutions were.

I am about 98% sure that Obama wants to be known as the 44th American President, not the 1st Black President. I'd rather he be constantly reminded what his job is as opposed to what color he is. This past election should have been a Blue vs. Red issue not a Black vs. White issue. I think MLK was going for the same thing. MLK would have looked down on the people that wanted Obama in office just because he is a Black Man; just like he would have looked down on the people that wanted McCain in office because they didn't want their next President to be a Black Man.

_

MLK wanted people to put more emphasis on their similarities than their differences. He wanted little black girls to jump rope with little white girls based on the simple fact that both girls liked to jump rope. If he was alive today to see the inauguration, I believe he would be more overjoyed in the diversity of Obama supporters than the color of Obama's skin.

When you really think of it, the MLK dream will not be a complete reality until a Klan Member and I share a pitcher of beer at a strip club together after we both forget our differences and focus on the fact that we love to see naked women dance.

January Blue

*This poem was written January of '98 during my first Georgia winter. I was feeling kind of down during the final phases of serious home sickness.*

Well, there were times I’d fly,
Through the January sky.
I didn't care weather or not I lived or I died.
I used to cry but then my tears had dried.
So, though that sky I flew,
Sadness blocked my view.
I didn't know what to think or know what to do.
It's true, I longed to see the sky so blue.
But, the sadness brought pain.
Clouds full of storm rain,
Came down on my wings and I went insane.
I changed; things were never going to be the same.
So, why did things go crazy?
My whole world grew shady.
The fearsome darkened clouds just dazed me.
Oh please just save me from this road life paved me.

Random Mind Dumplings 3

*The gym that I go to had a huge surge in Memberships this past week. I wonder why…..

*The problem with Liberals is that they make brand new mistakes. The problem with Conservatives is that they prevent old mistakes from being corrected.

*A huge pet peeve of mine is people that try everything possible to loose weight OTHER than diet and exercise. I completely understand that it is hard to do both, but if it was easy then every one would be their desired weight.

*I think the majority of people that are pro-life would never consider adoption.

*Mississippi was ranked #1 in teen pregnancies last year. The State says it’s because of the lack of sex education funding. I’d say it’s because of dumb asses having unprotected sex.

*I don't mean to upset any Arizona or Baltimore Football Fans (remember that I pretend to have a huge audience), but I'd like to see a Pennsylvania Dominated Superbowl this year.

*Instead of New Year's Resolutions, I tend to make Birthday Resolutions only because I am not making a sacrifice the same time everyone else is making sacrifices of their own.

*You know you are getting old when you see a playboy model that was born in 1989.

*Why are their still people bitching about the results of last year’s election? You guys are acting like Obama was selected by the Supreme Court after a voting ballot screw up in Florida. Wait, didn’t that already happen?

Spell Saggin Backwards

I'll just say this right off the bat: The only thing more pointless than sagging is creating a law to stop it. There are two groups of ignorant people here. The people that are trying to make sagging a punishable crime are just as ignorant as the people that sag in the first place.

You should appreciate people who sag. It lets you know who the ignorant really are. Plus, do you really want Law Enforcement Officers to take time out of their day to write out tickets while well dressed drunk drivers, rapists, and criminals do what they do best? How is sagging hurting you? The only sensible place to outlaw sagging would have to be in a place where a dress code is enforced, which makes sense because the first place that comes to mind are Schools.

Other than that, you can't really tell ignorant adults what to do, let alone make the act of purposefully showing your boxers a crime. If there is one thing I can't stand, it is someone who wants to create all the laws they want, but not do anything to enforce them. There are much bigger issues that need to be dealt with prior to raising hell about something as minuscule as wearing your pants low intentially. What are you going to go after next, People who wear their hats any other way than forward?

For all of the people who do sag, have you ever asked yourself why you do it? Does constantly pulling them up appeal to you? Do you love the feeling of having a waistband (or even worse: a belt) right underneath your butt cheeks? I never really understood sagging even though I remember doing it for about three days back when I was 11 but I also remember wearing overalls with one strap unhooked too. Both were temporary trends that I did only because I saw someone else doing it. The difference between me and people my age who sag is that I grew up. Can anyone who sags tell me why they do it? If you give me that bullshit line, "it's a form of expression," I'd really like to know what the fuck you are trying to express.

Here's a little history lesson for ya: Sagging originated from the way Children of families with low incomes who had to prematurely wear large hand-me-down pants from their older siblings. It is also an unwritten prison code: the more you sag, the more you are soliciting yourself for sex in exchange for protection. So unless you are forced to wear your older brother's clothes due to financial limitations or you are currently incarcerated and need to sell some penitentiary poon-tang in exchange for being some Turd Tapper's Bitch, what's the purpose of sagging?

Me? A Woman Beater?

I was raised by good parents.
I know because they always told me,
If you don't have the words to calm her verbally,
Then you don't have the right to beat her physically.
Why would I waste time to beat up a woman,
When I don't have the time to beat up a man.
When it comes to conflicts, I don't have to lift a finger.
I may raise my voice, but not my hand.

Why use fists when my words fight for me?
I don't need to get physical towards her.
She doesn't even need verbal abuse from me!
I could either listen, or just ignore her.
I don't beat Women because I don't need to.
Beating her ass wont do me good at all.
If it comes down too it, I'll just argue.
They can't throw you in jail for a verbal brawl.

The man who turns his back on the woman,
Has bigger balls than the man who hits her.
If cops hit the scene, who are they going to believe?
The beaten woman or the man who lost his temper?
If you think of me as a woman beater,
Then I guess you don't know me that well.
Beating her ass isn't worth it, I'm not stupid.
I know what happens to women beaters in jail.
