It amazes me sometimes what tragedies are remembered and which ones aren’t. In my lifetime most people can tell you where they were the moment that they heard Princess Diana died, yet I would bet that half of those people (if not more) couldn’t tell you where they were the moment they heard that Mother Theresa had died. Why is it that people ( Read more... )

Working in a retail establishment I get bombarded with Christmas related music on this time of year, whether I want it or not. I also get hit with the 3 Christmas songs I loathe more than any other, but those aren’t the reason I am writing this ( Read more... )

I have ridiculous writers block right now. I seriously haven't been able to get past it ( Read more... )

I have worked in retail for nearly 11 years now. I have been subjected to all sorts of verbal abuse from customers and for the most part I am immune to it.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said “Respect all life, become vegetarian.” Frankly that is hypocrisy at its finest in my opinion. Logically the stance behind most vegetarians (and their psycho friend the Vegans) is that meat is murder and our lives shouldn’t have to be sustained at the cost of others. So I am here to pose this question ( Read more... )

I don’t think I can say strongly enough how I feel about encouraging people to get out and vote. PLEASE DON’T DO IT!!!! Here is my reasoning:

If we, as a nation, want people elected that are deserving of their offices do we want just any schmo voting them in? I sure as hell don’t. In fact I am of the mindset that you shouldn’t even allow an option ( Read more... )
