we didnt start the fire

the weatherman says its going to rain today it rained and hailed earlier this week. i wonder what went through the mind of the first human to encounter hail he probaly looked up an thought the thing that goes in the mouth to stop the inside hurt and makes the below me soft is about to fall down. imagine his surprise when the ice started to hit him he probaly ran across the fields thinking the boom,boom people in the way up there is throwing rocks at him. after making it to a safe tree he thinks the 'people in the way up there' must be angry at me but why. i will leave my catch here for them and when they see me go hungry to make them happy they will stop. it does, and he goes home to his family and they say it is good that you did that because we were scare when we saw the hard cold stuff fall. we should offer things to them whenever they become angry at us because we must have done something wrong. it was like that then and its is like that now when volcano erupts in an deserted area its just nature but when an volcano erupts and people get killed its god punishing the people. the same is said for earthquakes tsunamis and drought even though these things have been occurring long before people lived in the places where these things happen. you cant blame god because you built your house in a bad neighborhood. and you cant blame the boom,boom people in the way up there.

More ramblings

I have a mason jar-(why is it called a mason jar since women uses them should they call them eastern star jars) on my kitchen counter labeled plp -parking lot pennies- I put the pennies that I find in parking lots in there ,yes I pick them up.its something to do to kill time I don't scour the whole parking lot looking for pennies but if I see one or two on the way to the car I,ll pick it up I guess the person that dropped it is somewhere saying damn if I had one more penny I would be able to buy that rolls to bad you should have picked up your penny.reading bumperstickers are another waste of time.lets hear it for free speech. No matter how dumb it is its still good to know that someone's money and child goes to juvenile court or that their other car doesn't exist either.that sticker of Calvin peeing on whatever is annoying.i wonder if that's how that person deals with the things they don't like -this food is horrible most people would send it back but not me -

ramblings

it was on the news the other day -i always miss the interesting news- an old lady caught a large fishout of daffin parks pond i never knew that there were large fish in that pond.but then again i dont expect large fish to swim around with their heads out of the water saying,marco, marco.i know i have seen aome koi that someone must have released in there .if she caught one of those she gonna be eating one expensive fish sandwich.pretty but costly.my mom said that every fish praises its own pond i guess that one should have kept its mouth. you know how that is. youre outside talking to somebody when- pitooie- a gnat flies into your mouth.i dont think that hook swam into that fish's mouth i think it was aggressivly seeking a free meal.or it thought it was the great pond hunter closing in on its prey. either way its soup now.as for the koi -what the plural for koi-koiese,s -i need to find out who got so much money that they can throw away expensive fish when they tire of them.maybe they got tire of the japanese and want something german or swedish.who knows .and since i am just rambling who cares

katrina

She came with a warning that was taken lightly by few but those that did flee couldn't escape her wrath the people in the gulf states lives will never be the same she left a legacy and stories that will be told again and again for generations to come.hundreds of thousands of lives became refugees because someone in authority was in denial. Well what couldnt happen did happen.what we were used to seeing in third world countries is happening right next door.what ever happened to prepare for the worse and hope for the best.i really feel for the people that are suffering.the poor as usual got the worse of it.and there was no way for the media to not show it the people suffering were mostly poor and Black.no trailers over turned by tornadoes no mud slides pushing mansions into the sea. Just inner city poor fleeing and drowning and dying.and sleeping outside dying of thirst and lack of medical attention like they were in Niger or Ethiopia or somewhere .When things settle down years from now I hope every remember-Prepare for the worse -Hope for the best

Blinded by the light

When we were young my mother would tell us stories that to me were funny and amusing .My brother being two years older was more introspective to him they were teaching story's because he was heard them more times than I did and had time to think about them .Well no because as I grew up t still considered them funny little stories should have thought more deeply.there was a story she told us about a monkey and a cat by a fireplace and the monkeydecide that he wanted to roast some chestnuts.so he throws some chestnuts into the fire while the cat laid there sleeping.after the chestnuts were done the monkey grabbed the sleeping cats paw and raked the chestnuts out of the fire and began eating them.oh people I been raked over the coals to many times by people who only wanted to get their fill while I sat on the side nursing my wounds.i was asleep my eyes were closed.if once burnt twice remembered then twice burnt is oh hell no. I have two girls and I will not allow them to grow up to be professional victims girls keep you eyes open and your wits about you .So when absentee granny showed up to buy the girls school clothes and kept mentioning a daddy that rarely paid child support .They assume that her intentions weren't on the level they asked were was she before now . Is it because she's getting old or is it because he knows that he has only two more years of child support payments to dodge.as with one kid in college and another on the way.maybe they think that they have two cats lying by the fire place.well as my oldest said about granny after she got her school clothes.you got served

Comfortably numb

Its been a busy two weeks but things are starting to settle down now my oldest girl is attending college she a freshman and she loves it. She says she sees one problem ,the missing grand mother works there daughter asks did she nag her son about us when we were little the way she nags me about him.if she did then maybe I should ignore her the way he must have ignored her because he never paid any child support .I was thinking maybe I should talk to my ex,s mother but then again maybe I should let her get taken down by the sharp tongue of an nineteen year old girl with something on her mind

Pass the dutchy on the left

I was standing in my driveway one day when a car with two young ladies pulled up asked me where was the funeral gathering for so-n-so was.well i don't know so-n-so nor where they lived.you see in the black community we have a after party and we have a after funeral.and there are some people who follow funerals just for the gathering afterwards .The thought of free food make some people do strange things.i have crashed a couple of family reunions myself. But when you have been driving for hours in way back Georgia and the kids are hungry and the nearest restaurant is a kajillion miles away and you see that church sign that's says so-n-so,s family reunion you just pull in a say hey cuz I haven't seen you in ages. I bet you don't remember me, guess who .You just keep talking while the kids fill their paper plates and run back to the car.then on as if on Que you say where's those brats of mine. they are so wild, let me go find them.then its back on the road again and damn if the little hellions didn't get anything for me, just a lot of sweets.i might be the reason why the people at reunions wear family t-shirts now they should start doing that at funerals.you never know who,s there to pay respect to the decease and who,s there to pay respect to the chef. theres a lots of food at black funerals most are the type that probably killed the decease,pigtails, pig feet,well lets just say the whole hog and chicken cooked in every conceivable way. But no fish I don't know why .You would think that that,s what they would need to feed the multitude of people who didn't know the decease but all agree to a man that his people can show throw down in the kitchen
