My annoying hubby and his 2 kids are sitting here watching a cartoon called "Air Bender," (I have no clue what it's about nor do I care), and I am in the same room, but it sounds like they are speaking a foreign language. I say "annoying" because today he royally pissed me off. We're only 3 months into this "marriage," and frankly, I'm not really having much fun. But, I was single for 40 years, ya know? I KNEW that marriage would suck, that's why I avoided it. I'm sure you share in that opinion, being single all your life too. Oh goody, now they're watching MST3K. (Google it, if you don't know what that is, because I don't believe in spoon-feeding people every little detail of every little thing). It's the teacher in me, so deal with it. I actually laugh my fool head off at MST3K though.
Why then, did I go and do it, you ask? This silly marital thing? Who the hell knows. I think women get duped, ambushed and screwed by their own inner biological clocks at some point in their 40's. Frankly, I got tired of fighting my way through every damned day, making less money than a guy for working overtime at the same goddamned job HE has, struggling to pay bills, struggling to stay sane, dealing with the stress of working in a cesspool (DC) every day with corrupted, rude, and evil people...I didn't trust anyone for any reason (still don't), and I became very anti-social. So I figured getting hitched couldn't suck as bad as all THAT....but maybe, JUST MAYBE....I could be wrong.
So, anyway, I found these two things on my favorite funny web site today, (www.fark.com), that made me chuckle and reminisce about the good ole days when I deliberately pissed off Allen Craft for the fun of it. He was such an easy target, ya know? You couldn't help it. I mean, he's kinda like the male version of Sarah Palin. Just too easy to make fun of. No challenge really. It's hard to win a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
DAMN!! I wish I had known how to do this technical stuff back then, I could have sent this to him personally in email---and OMG----for everyone else's benefit to join in the fun, I could have posted it on the Journey message boards just for shits and giggles. Oh, the humiliation. It makes me almost giddy just thinking about it. But I digress.
THIS ONE is classic....aw CRAP it loaded so tiny you'll need a damned magnifying glass to read it. Sorry about that. I figure, if you're like me, you probably have bifocals by now, so that might work....
Basically it makes fun of people who whimper and whine about stupid shit on the internet, like "I don't like what your opinion is about this subject and it makes me mad, so I'm gonna whimper and whine to everybody about it, in hopes that they won't like you too." I mean, it's really something you'd find on a children's playground. Kinda like the juvenile crap Allen Craft pulled with me.
Oh my GAWD, seriously? You mean I said something that offended you?! It's so tragic! How could I face the world, knowing that you're all offended and shit? It breaks my heart. Call a friggin' WAAHHHHmmmbulance and gimme a band aid. Then just STFU. (Shut The F@&!k Up).
......yeah, you might say I'm rather sarcastic in my old age. But, those are just a couple of funny computer geek type things that amused me, and I wanted to share my twisted and dark sense of humor with ya, for what it's worth. If I had had both of these back then, I would have tormented that idiot with them, repeatedly, just to bust his balls on a daily basis, because I COULD.
Ah well, I really should get over it, and move on. I know, I know. And I have...mostly. But sometimes, I see things that remind me of that time in my life and I wish I could rewind and have a do-over.
I've been reading some books lately, by Ayn Rand. She's one of my favorite writers. I think I mentioned that before. I'm now reading "The New Intellectual." I've read most of her books over the years, but this one eluded me until I found it in a used bookstore. It's like finding a treasure, and it makes me happy with anticipation to re-discover her and all that philosophical stuff she wrote about. She's really very fascinating. I wish I could have known her. Some people say she makes their brain hurt, but it actually makes mine feel GOOD all over to learn new perspectives, thought-processes and philosophies.
The other day, on a show that I rarely (if ever) watch on t.v. (The View), they had Bill O'Reilly on, and they were discussing whether or not a mosque should be allowed to be built on Ground Zero. My personal opinion on that subject is, "sure, we Americans need to educate ourselves about the culture of Muslims, and their religion, so let 'em build it and teach us about it." But at the same time, I know how Americans think, and in the back of my mind, I know this also to be an inevitability, "Besides, once they do build it, some ignorant fuck from redneckville Alabama will just blow it up anyway and get us into WW3."
We're really damned if we do, and damned if we don't. But, Bill O'Reilly started yelling and interrupting everyone on The View to say "but that's INAPPROPRIATE, they KILLED US on 9/11!!" That comment made Whoopi Goldberg stand up and shout, "OH MY GAWD!" and storm off the stage. Then Joy Behar did the same thing, after they both yelled in his face, "the terrorists were EXTREMISTS! Not all Muslims are terrorist extremists!"
And I thought to myself, "Wow, not all Germans were Nazis, Bill. Didn't you learn that from a history book? Do you even know how to READ?" If Timothy McVeigh were Catholic, would we then hate ALL Catholics, because holy SHIT they might just blow up a building in our town at some point?? What if the terrorists were all BLONDE-HAIRED BUSTY PORN STAR WOMEN?! Would we then HATE every single blonde-haired busty porn star woman in the world?! You cannot lump everybody of the Muslim culture and faith into one big bag of bad-guys. That is just plain ignorance. And for such an ignorant hack to have his own t.v. show just disgusts me beyond belief.
These people (in no order of importance), should NEVER have been given even FIVE minutes of fame:
1. Paris Hilton. Hate her guts. She's a waste of human flesh. So much potential for so much greatness, just totally wasted. She makes me sick.
2. Glenn Beck. Can't stand his ugly stupid ass. Wish he could somehow be turned into a MUTE.
3. The Octomom....good Lord....all I can do is shake my head in sadness. What a sad human. And those poor kids are doomed.
4. Jerry Springer. Hey, I know he didn't CREATE the shit of the world, but he definitely gets paid to stir as many turds and even CREATE them himself just for ratings and to get rich. He has no conscience, and therefore, no integrity whatsoever.
5. Lindsay Lohan. Why doesn't ANYBODY (Drew Barrymore maybe)? sit her stupid messed-up ass down and do an intervention? Doesn't anyone CARE that this chick is on a head-on collision course with her own mortality? She's too damned young to be so messed up. Wasted potential again. Sad.
6. Maury Povich, for the same reason as Jerry Springer.
7. Add Montel Williams to that same category. Getting rich off of other people's misery is NOT a career. It SHOULD be a crime.
8. Sarah Silverman. What a stupid, ugly and ignorant hag. She accused you of saying "Nigger" to her, and frankly I think she's full of shit. You have WAY more class than THAT. And SHE SAYS THAT WORD TOO---but, IF---and I say IF---you actually DID say it to her, she completely went public with it, and had NO RIGHT TO. IF you said it, then it was meant as a private conversation that had no business being blabbed to anyone else. If she was offended by it, she should have simply said, "Ya know Stephen, I am offended by that," and walked away. BUT, she's such a goddamned hypocrite by saying such a thing, with all those stupid and disgusting jokes she tells to make money for herself, and she knows it, so instead she just went public, like a chickenshit coward. I have no respect for her whatsoever. Not to mention she's married to Jimmy Kimmel, who is a classic douche-bag.
9. It's a given that Bill O'Reilly is on this list. I remember seeing him in COMMERCIALS in the 90's. He's just another ACTOR.
And if you DID say such a thing to Sarah Silverman, Mr. Stephen, please remind me to kick your scrawny ass and make you eat soap. I would be HIGHLY disappointed in you if that really was true. But the fact is, you wrote and sang "Colors of the Spirit," so I believe you really wouldn't say that.
Ah, yes, there are probably a few hundred more idiots I could add to this list, if I had the time & gumption. (GW Bush, Cheney, Karl Rove, Allen Craft, etc).
I don't know about YOU Stephen, but I miss Walter Cronkite. He would never say such an ignorant thing. I miss good journalism. I miss good writing. I miss GOOD PEOPLE. I also miss actually THINKING FOR MYSELF about things, and making up my own mind without some idiot who doesn't even HAVE a Journalism degree (like Bill O'Reilly) barking his own ignorant and skewed ideologies at me on the boob tube, trying to brainwash me into spewing more venom into the world. Not only would I have left the stage too, I would have slapped him across the face first.
So here's what I did. I'm one of those annoying "pro-active" people, surrounded by RE-active people. I wrote on The View's message board (something I have never done), and I challenged Whoopi and Joy to send Bill an invitation to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC, for a personalized tour with me or without me, I really don't care. I wrote that instead of getting up, being angry, and stomping off the stage (which accomplishes nothing), they should EMBRACE him and try to EDUCATE him about the Holocaust, to make him see just what stereotyping and prejudice and hate can lead to. The end result of all that is genocide, and if that's what he wants in our country, keep spewing venom on t.v. every day. If he REFUSES the invitation, then he's an even bigger dick than before.
I'd like to be there, (if it ever really does happen), to see the light-bulb-Helen-Keller moment where he finally GETS IT, because I would videotape it and loop it over and over on every t.v. channel in the universe for MONTHS. And THEN I would send Bill O'Reilly to PERSONALLY hand-deliver the same invitation to the idiot leader of Iran who believes the Holocaust never happened and hates the Jews enough to send nuclear weapons over to annihilate them. Boy would I pay a billion dollars to see HIS face if he finally learns the real truth about it, and finally GETS IT. That would truly be the best day EVER in the whole entire universe.
Hey, ya know, when Pete took me to San Francisco for our honeymoon this past July, we attended the Folsom Street Fair---and it was COOL. I had fun just watching people, and the wild outfits they were wearing, the fun vendors selling awesome stuff, (and naughty stuff), and the loud music, people randomly dancing in the streets...it was a wild party-atmosphere, and we had a BLAST. I'd like to see Bill O'Reilly attend one of those fairs sometime. In leather butt-less chaps, of course.
Eww...I threw up in my mouth a little, just thinking about that.
Did I ever mention my web site? Check it out....www.Tolerance4Kids.com. I think I did mention it before, but I also think we should have TOLERANCE LESSONS FOR ADULTS on the internet too.
Well, that's all I've got in my head tonight. It's after midnight, so I'm off to bed. Have a good weekend.
Love, Rebecca the ranter
