Americans are...

I really shouldn't be surprised by the general public. HELL...I work for the largest retailer in the world. I see thousands of people a day. Some of them on a regular basis, BUT still I am shocked and awed at the behavior and mind set of the everyday American.

EXAMPLE #1: I was at Jack in the Box the other day and I saw this HUGE dude get the largest meal on the menu and what did he have to drink? Diet Coke! Does he really think that's going to make the difference between 390 and 400lbs...?!?...WHEW! Get on a treadmill and walk your ass away or die from a heart attack trying.

EXAMPLE #2: I was walking out to my car from work and saw someone sitting in their car as is was just idling, SQUEALING like nails on a chalk board. They sat there like they didn't hear it while anyone with a block and a half radius was holding their ears. I understand some people don't have the financial resources to fix every little belt and hose on their car, BUT this person was sitting in their car smoking a cigarette...THAT SHIT COSTS MONEY...
The car was running wasting gas while they waited for someone...GAS IS ON A HUGE CLIMB IN PRICE!!! Fucking prioritize shit and fix it step by step...cut some unnecessary items out of your budget.

EXAMPLE #3: Families with so many kids that the parents are overwhelmed! Frankly I think some parents have children solely for the tax break. Shit...when I have kids I'm just gonna name them after the fiscal year they were born in, "Fiscal Year '08...quit hittin your sister Fiscal Year '12..." I'm 26 and have been sexually active for 10 FUCKING years and not once have I spawned a demon. People out there try their damnedest to have just one kid they'll actually love and appreciate while stupid unfit parents are having "little burdens." I was the result of an unplanned pregnancy (despite what my mom says) HOWEVER the difference between my family and others is that my Mom stopped at 3 kids...She was even able to space them about 1st to 2nd = 11years and 2nd to 3rd = 8years. 19 years between the 1st and 3rd child. So accidents happen...but my mom was at least responsible enough to only have an accident on a average of every 9.5 years. That's a good track record!!!

What does all of this have in common? Does my rant actually have a consistent theme?

YES!!! It's ADDICTION!!!

Americans are an addictive society: Drugs, Sex, Food, Spending Money, the list goes on...I'm not perfect, I have my own vices, but at least I'm not blaming everyone for my problems. I'll be the first to say I've got issues, but at least the only person I have to blame is myself. Too many times a day to I hear, "It's not my fault..." "So and so stopped me from completing this task..." "I don't know what I did to deserve this..." The answers to life's problems lie within...

I should really just mind my own business. Leave the world be and focus on myself...but for some reason that I haven't figured out yet...I'm addicted to trying to sort out the wrongs of society. I'm not a shrink, perhaps I need one. I need to just stop looking down on society and realize that I'm a part of what I despise. I need out of retail. I'm tired of subjecting myself to this mental torture...I need to go back to school and train in a field that interests me. Realization is the first step to recovery! Thanks for reading my rant...I hope it made sense...I feel better now...!!!

Michigan

I live in a city in Michigan. It's not a big city, there isn't even tall buildings here. Specifically my house is outside of the "downtown" area in a post-war neighborhood. The houses are small, like 750 sq ft small. At least once a week I see this man walking by with a different dog at a rapid pace. Is he a dog walker? Who can afford to pay a dog walker here? Does he walk them from a near by wealthy community? I want to know. He walks by at such a brisk pace with this super determined look on his face. Maybe the per capita homicide rate that is worse than Detroit has something to do with his haste. It would be difficult to keep up if I were to decide to interrogate. He doesn't look like he wants to talk really. I wonder how much he makes?

Shakira

Singer/songwriter Shakira is scheduled to release her new album in May, marking her first set since 2001's Laundry Service. According to the Agence France-Presse, Shakira will release a double-disc album containing new songs in Spanish and English sometime in late May. The set is expected to be available in her native Colombia before it's released elsewhere.


In a message on her website last December, Shakira said she had composed over 60 new songs for possible use on the album. The album reportedly will include a song featuring legendary guitarist Carlos Santana, as well as a duet in English with Spanish superstar Alejandro Sanz.


On June 14, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe will honor the Baranquilla-born singer for being one of the most important figures from the departamento of Atlantico, which celebrates its centennial this year. Colombia is divided up into 32 departamentos, which are similar to states or provinces in other countries.


Colombia has suffered through decades of civil war and violence, but Shakira once said that she hopes her homeland will soon find a peaceful resolution to the conflict: "My hopes are like any other Colombian's hopes--to have that beautiful country of mine in unity and peace--and I think we are closer than ever before to achieve what we have been dreaming about for all of these years. I think we are ready for it. Forty years of a historical transformation have been enough for us to learn our lessons, and I think we are just ready for peace."

Cabbage Patch Kid

I read the daily blogs because I want to see both sides of any given issue before I make up my mind how I feel about it. As I mentioned yesterday in my edited post, for those who wish to have reasonable dialog in debate, I suggest you review "A Code of Conduct To Effect Rational Discussion" from "Attacking Faulty Reasoning" by T. Edward Darner. You can Google this information on the internet if you are interested. After several months here, I realize that most people want to use the blogs for emotional venting, and that's ok too. Unfortunately, I am not a camp follower so I can't learn anything from this source of information. My child was not allowed a Cabbage Patch Kid, I have never seen an episode of "Friends" and I don't drink Starbucks coffee. I am not personally interested in cut-and-paste rhetoric from either extremist point of view; I do not find enlightenment in narrow-minded messages, name-calling, labeling and hate-mongering. I would rather look to the wisdom of past wise, compassionate and ethical leaders and seek future visionaries with the same qualities. I pray for our children and hope we make the right choices for their world. So I will leave you to your passionate posting with brightest blessings for the future and the Wiccan Creed: "Do as you will, an' harm none." Shauni ..., Priestess of the Sacred Mists"

Escondido City Council

Here's what I witnessed at the recent Escondido City Council meeting on a rental ban for illegal aliens. Councilman Sam Abed, a legal Lebanese immigrant, gave one of the most moving and intelligent speeches I've heard on the subject. Bill sponsor Marie Waldron was her usual courageous and honorable self, taking a lot of verbal heat and threats from the audience.

In marked contradiction to these two American patriots, Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler and Councilman Ron Newman were a social and political disgrace. Newman, who relentlessly attacked Ms. Waldron from the dais, has got to be the single most wishy-washy, preachy and arrogant politician in town, and the same goes for Pfeiler.

These two are part of the problem/disease! Councilman Abed cited a federal study that stated that over 35,000 illegals live in Mexcondido! Illegals are an out-of-control cancer that is destroying our community with gross overcrowding, crime, gangs, drugs, murders, stabbings, graffiti, plunging school stats and sinking real estate values, and it's going to get much worse. The monstrous illegal immigration invasion/anarchy is itself the most divisive wedge in our nation's history.
