That's me in the spotlight(2)

If you ask any of the people around here what kind of religion Islam is and chances are they will say its a violent one. they will quote what others has said about what's in the quran. They would say that the quran tells Moslims to kill all unbelievers. This is an convenient misinterpretation and sadly enough a lot of Moslems believe this too. As I have said before religion in the hands of man is an dangerous thing.from The Albigensian Crusade to the latest bombing in Baghdad no religion can hide from the revealing light of history.racism is practice under the cover of religion.they are not just knights they are Christian knights.and if they don't have a religion to support their cause then they will reinvent one and say that Jews are the spawn of Satan and black people are mud people. Or they will say that the quran says the the white man is the devil. What amazes me is that people will believe anything without studying it first and then putting it in perspective when it comes to violence the old testament is rated x.the The Baghavad Gita is no fairy tale either. Wait I take that back fairy tales are full of violence too

Everyday observances

A few things I have noticed.(1) on the road.you always end up right behind the person who passed you earlier at the next stop light.(2) traffic always move slow when you are late and moves fast when you are going to the dentist.(3)some people will pass you even though their turn off is only a half a block away.(4) the amount of time that you have to wait for someone to back out of a parking slot increases if the slot is close to the building you want to enter.in the store (1). The first cart you get will have a wobbly wheel. (2) college students buy lots of Raman noodles.(3) you will never see Asians buy Raman noodles.(4) single men shop like college students.(5) the 10 items or less line is predominantly male.(6)there are some people who would write a check for $10 worth of groceries.outside (1) there is always someone who cant remember where they parked their car. And when you get home you will find that you didn't get half the stuff you set out to get and got a lot of stuff you don't need

Con mail

Today I received five e-mails from five different individuals requesting my help in securing their money from the people or governmental authorities that were holding it from them. You might have heard of this scam before.you give them your bank account number and they deposit the money into your account. They are just playing on your kindness(stupidity) or your greed (stupidity maximus).Your might think you will end up holding several million dollars for someone but will only end up in debt or bankrupt. Its the old bait and switch game where you end up with a few dollars wrapped around cut up newspaper.so if you receive any e-mail from a Adam Bello or Prince Prince Eze (yes that's his name)Abdul Hasan or, now get this, Madame Abacha beware. I even got an e-mail from a bank (southtrust, never heard of it )they wanted my account number because they were doing a survey. I may be stupid but I am not that stupid. Remember a fool and his money are soon parted

Fishing

Its getting warm and the water the tide is right time to go fishing as I said before my favorite place to fish is now blocked by a golf course. I don't have a boat so the next best place is a pier. I am not one of those ,set the drag take, the water temp, wet a finger and stick in the air type of fisherman. I am more of a put the bait on the hook and throw in the line in the water type of fisherman. Around here live shrimp is the best bait. I never seem to catch any fish worth keeping from the piers but there's more people so at least i have a chance to be nosy people like to talk about themselves. Ah the storys people tell especially old people of course being fisherman most of them are lieing. Then there's the tourist you can always tell which ones they are. they are the ones trying to catch crabs with the metal crab traps or fishing with worms. the fish around the piers don't consider worms good southern cuisine. I would walk around visit the other fisherman and ask if they are catching anything. the answer is always no I just got here and know I saw him there when I came so I annoy him more, what type of bait are you using ,is that beer ,think your wife is sleeping with somebody else while you are here. If I'm not going to catch anything I might as well make this trip interesting.think I,ll go bother the tourists they are always good for a laugh

Rainy days

It rained almost all day yesterday good for plants bad for drivers well bad for bad drivers. Some people have a difficult time operating their cars in wet weather so there are more fender benders when it rains some streets around here become flooded but people still try to drive through them here,s a rule of thumb if you cant see the white line through the water then the water is too deep to drive through. Of course flooded streets give the suv drivers a chance to use their suvs in a way that was intended driving through deep water and over steep medians and splashing water all over the people standing next to their stalled out cars and denying to themselves that the boulder that they just rode over was really a Volkswagen. Yesterday they were just shmucks lugging around groceries and a bunch of whining kids but today they are soccermomdah of the wild Yukon. Looking down on the stalled out misfortunates who thought that their cars could float,but the dealer said it was a boat car like on James bond. So let it rain today I am staying inside because its hard to find a brick to throw at a suv when you are standing knee deep in water

Annoying habits

A man goes to the doctor and says doctor my arm hurts when i do this and the doctor says then don't do that. Must have been an hmo doc, I often wonder why we insist on doing things that annoy or harm us, not only that we insist on sharing our annoying and harmful habits with others for instance have you ever shared a meal with someone and they took a bite of something that tasted awful. They would remark on how horrible it tastes then offer you to try it sure it has happened before and you probaly have done it too I guess its in our nature to share even if the things we are sharing would gag a pig this also goes for things that we see"ooh look there's a dead dog in the street that been ran over about ten times come look".Another thing that annoys is when someone asks if you,ve got any money. You know that they are about to put the touch on you because whenever someone asks and you say no they never say well here get some of mine walking around while talking on a speaker phone is annoying and a bad habit you could get hit by a car or mugged and beside the crazies are begining to think that you are trying to steal their thunder"hey we invented standing around talking to yourself" we should've gotten a patent.i could go on and an but this is getting a little too seinfeildish and going on and on is a bad habit and its annoying

simon the slopman <--link

When my brother was about ten years old he worked with a man called Simon .Simons job was to collect discarded food from behind schools and restaurants in large barrels to feed to the pigs out in the country that were owned by some white man. this was in the late sixties my brother only did it after school to earn a little money simon was also an alcoholic and one day he began to tell my brother a story. He say, yeah the Germans said they were beating us so bad that we were turning black as it turned out Simon served with a tank battalion in www2 the man that everyone scorned for being a drunk, the man that the kids teased my brother about working for "I hear you work for Simon the slopman" was a veteran my brother said he wondered how a person that did so much ended up with so little its probaly because no one stopped to really talk to him.a few years ago my oldest son sat down to talk with my cousin a vietnam vet they talked for long time my son said. after their conversation my cousin thanked him because he want to talk about his experience for a long time and he was the first person to really listen. We may not agree with wars or their reasons but we must agree that our sons and daughters are our own and we should give them our ears when they need them
