My stuff - Random Thoughts

    I saw something today that made me curious. A long time ago the mullet Hair style was 'Popular', maybe. I recall hearing about it quite a little bit anyway. Business in front party in the back, if I recall how that went. I saw a kid sporting this hair style today. Of course it was outside a Walmart and of course I live in a semi-rural-rednecky kind of place. Don't get me wrong about the redneck comment. I wish I was tough enough enough to be a redneck. The redneck is a Tough breed to be sure. They generally don't give a shit about too much. Stay out of their business and they will stay out of yours. That is what I like ab out Rednecks. They will very politely leave you along. I have long said and do believe this about my  neighborhood. There are plenty of Gun-Toting Rednecks between me and whatever Bullshit liberal Radical bidenonomic woke Hive mind blue-haired assholes that may be coming down my street. I an currently saving up so that I can become a Gun-Toting Wannabe Redneck.

    Anyway so having seen this kid with the mullet hair style made me wonder about us old farts who may have had a mullet 40 years ago. Probably no longer Business in front party in the back... 

 

        more like stealth in front and party in the back.

Random thoughts - Society

    The suffix ...ist is an odd thing. In many cases it added to your profession make you good at it. I am a Machinist. when you study to be good at something they add ist to your work. If you study Guitar you are a guitarist, the flute a flutist, after many years in school and you can be a psychologist.

    However when you ad ...ist to race you are a raciest, or to sex you are a sexist. These to are practicality a death sentence in today's politically correctness driven society. Not to say that there is any thing even remotely okay about being a raciest or a sexist but where is the difference coming from?

    I don't believe that I am a racist. I do not believe that because I am a White Male in America that I am somehow better in any measurable way, or in any way at all than a Black person or a Chinese person or a Mexican person... I believe that I am a "Culture-ist". I find a Culture that lives and dies on its vicim-hood-status to be reprehensible. There are some VERY Crazy ideas being put forward these days surrounding Racism. It seems that the notion of Three meals a day is racist, and the craziest thing that I believe I have EVER heard mathematics is racist. I have watched the You-tube videos that propose these notions many times, I still can not understand the rational behind these claims. There is also a ground swell movement gaining traction where by black persons in America at present are due reparations for the Colonial era slavery that existed in America some 200 years ago. Oddly enough, one of the persons pushing this idea, a Sunny Hostin, co-host on the much maligned day-time talk show, found out that in her ancestors history there are in fact slave "OWNERS". How does she propose to square receiving reparations for colonial era slavery that she feels has somehow caused her some economic harm if she have slave owners in your genealogical past? Will this involve some high level "Racist" Newer Math that will be able to make a full accounting of this? The unfortunate truth is that the city of San Francisco is actually considering a plan that will allocate 5 MILLION Dollars per black person. San Francisco can't even afford to clean shit (actual shit, human fesses, shit) off of its streets. The City recently hosted some big deal APEC Summit meeting nations from around the GLOBE were in attendance. And  the city had actually taken the time and expence to map out where the shit (fesses) was located in the city so that clean up crews could go out and clean it up. Map it out? San Francisco recently, I say recently it took some many years to make this happen, built a public restroom. The city spent 1.7 Million Dollars on a 150 square foot public restroom. Permits to get permits and one environmental and I assume utility impact study after another. Un-fucking-believable! I used to dream of living in San Francisco. Now I cant even dredge up the desire to visit.

    While we are talking about suffixes "-phobic" is everywhere. Speak out about any of the LGBTQrstuvwxyz... and you are a "Homo-phobe, a Fat-phobe a Trans-phobe and the list is growing moment by moment it seems. The suffix phobe is used when a person has an irrational fear of what ever you have stapled the suffix to. 

    I do not have a fear of rational or otherwise of Gay men, Lesbian women not even in the slightest. I do however have a very serious problem with "Pride Month". There used to be Pride parades and festivals but now there is an entire month dedicated to Gay Pride. I say Gay Pride because I believe that Gay is a blanket term that can be used to cover the whole of the LGBTQrstuvwxyz...crowd. I could be wrong. As much as everything is in a constant state of flux one can never be sure anymore. So no I am, not a Homo-phobe. 

    I do not have a fear of Trans individuals. I do however have a very serious issue with trans men/women its so difficult to know what is what now insinuating themselves into women's spaces. The most egregious example of this trend is, at least to me, when men self identify as women and weasel their way into women's sports and women's personals spaces. Sports that's pretty simple. If a genetically born male wakes up one day and declares himself to be a female and starts participating in women's sporting events. There has been a TIDAL wave of this happening recently. Everything; swimming, bicycling, weightlifting, virtually any sport that used to be declared a "Woman's" ( by Title 9) event has been infiltrated be trans-men. The most famous example is the Will/Lea Thomas sued his way into the Women's NCAA swimming team in the University of Pennsylvania. He "killed the competition. Crushed every record. Not by fractions of a second either not by portions of a body length Full seconds and Full body lengths. He stole records, titles and most importantly Scholarships. He stole them from deserving young women. 

    By personal spaces I mean changing/locker rooms restrooms. Again with the Will Thomas example he is/was a 6'4" fully genitally fully intact male, he was allowed to use the women's locker room. A locker/changing room where in  women are entitled to privacy, safety and dignity. The moment that U Penn NCAA people made the decision to allow Will Thomas to participate on the women's swim team and to allow him to use the woman's locker room they completely stripped the women on the U Penn swim team of all of the privacy, safety and dignity implied by the "Woman's Locker/changing room". And they facilitated the theft of  records, titles and scholarships. I find this morally ethically heinous and atrocious. I would use more vitriolic words here but it's late and I can't dredge them up right now.

    This sort of "DEI" is creeping all across the country and world. The alter of inclusion is blood stained in "Gyms" all across the country. Planet Fitness has "Bent the knee" to this alter. They allow any male self identifying as female to use the women's locker room. YMCA gyms have also bent their knee. Fast food restaurant's city parks are experiencing issues with men using the women's restrooms.

                        more to come.

Random Thoughts - Politics

    I mentioned some time ago that I don't like Obama very much. I will start enumerating the reasons...

    Recently he made the suggestion that soldiers in our army pay for war injuries them selves or with their own insurance. IS he for real? What insurance company is going to insure a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan? Heck even in Texas where that Muslim nutcase shot up the place and 13 soldiers DIED.

    Many people knew about him and his leanings but they were too "tolerant" to say any thing. Can call him out because he is a minority and a muslim and that is racism and religious intolerance and we will not stand for that here in America. We will let people die first... but I digress.

    Obama wants soldiers to pay for their war injuries them selves but he will, by hook or by crook, cram a new National Medical Health Care Plan down the rest of the countries throat.

The Weekend

I had a crap weekend and I have recently had a bit to drink. I happened to sit down in front of the TV to calm my nerves and CSI was on. I haven't watched the CSI in years and what do you think I saw.. a freaking rerun. THE Freakin' show that I was thinking about when I sat down. What are the odd of that... hick urp.. ahhhhhhh.

Red Alert

    I don't know who reads this that is old enough to recall the Jetson's cartoon with any clarity. Maybe its not age that gives clarity... never mind that tangent.
    This weekend I set about to do a couple things with my computers. HOLLY F-ing CRAP I am still not done. It really feels like some how the computers have had a conference and decided that they needed to show me who was boss around here. And they have done a fine job of that. I wound up formatting my two laptops then trying to reinstall Winblows I cant even recall how many times before I finally got them all installed and they are not really all installed there are three files missing from one of the installs. I have to find that install and...

Man what a boring bit of drivel this is so but I had a right miserable weekend beating my head bloody against the tech wall.

but you have no idea what I have been through to get to post this crappy little bit of nonsense.

Oh yes the Red Alert thing references an episode of the Jetson's t where George badmouths a robot. The robot is pretty put out by it and his friends gang up against George in retaliation until George apologizes to the offended robot.

I wonder…

    I wonder that deer and other wild life animals must feel about Field and Stream magazine the way I feel about this magazine. Apparently there are articles in this magazine that tell how to spesifically kill Americans and how to cause the most terror. Oh goodie

Words

    I think I might have a new word... Mouseturbation. I looked it up at Urban Dictionary and it was there but a different use something about clicking on the mouse so fast and furiously that the sound it might be confused for masturbation.

    I thought the more proper use was while trolling porn sites using a mouse to navigate from site to site, picture to picture and video to video...

Lady Gaga

    I am not so much a fan of the Lady Gaga phenomenon but she is certainly a good business person. That said when I hear her song "Bad Romance" I can't help but hear different lyrics to the chorus… to wit

Rah Rah sys boom bah…

    I looked up the lyrics to this song and I am certain that my hero Weird Al could work up a song around that chorus line; something about high school romance. I might even take a run at that. There is almost nothing more tragic than some high school romances. The drama that is involved and or perceived to be involved. I think the phrase and the acronym OMG and the TMI and so many others were certain to have evolved out of these tragedies.
