21st Century Slave Traders

I have never really been the type of person to fit in with societal norms. Nothing ever appealed to me about the born, schooled, military, shit out a couple of kids, work at a job they hate, retire and die modality. On the contrary, I normally make it my business to do the exact opposite.

Those that DO go with this type of lifestyle choice are traditionally the most miserable, hateful and frustrated people I have ever met. Do you think there could be some correlation between the choices they make and their miserable existence?

People are so caught up in making a living that they forget how to design a life.

It used to be, a long ass time ago, that people such as my grandparents immigrated to America chasing their dreams. America was once the land of opportunity (STILL is IMO) and EVERYONE had a specific skill they used to support their family. My one grandfather was a tailor and the other was a mason by trade. They both lived by the creed of "spend a nickel and save a dime" and worked their trade while the wives stayed home and raised the kids and took care of the house.

They survived being a one income family. It was a much simpler time. So what the fuck happened What happened was greed. The times they are a changin' as Bob Dylan sang.

The Ledge

I just saw a movie called The Ledge with Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam. This movie came out a few years ago (2011) and I dont exactly know how I missed it.

It is about an Atheist battling a Christian about morals and life values that ends up with the Christian going crazy (or more crazy than he appeared) and giving the Atheist a life or death choice in how much he valued his beliefs.

Good movie as entertainment but I felt my blood starting to boil regarding the subject and the pomposity of Christians and other religious fucking whack-a-loons thinking they are superior with their fictional beliefs over the Free Thinker Realist.

For those who haven't seen this movie let me say that the  premise is that Hunnam's character (The Atheist) is neighbors with a Christian couple and starts fucking the wife (played by Liv Tyler). Good Christian woman turned out to be a fucking nymphomaniac that was being sexually repressed by her two thrust done missionary lame fuck of a Christian husband.

Hubby finds out mainly because wife and heathen did nothing to try to hide their affair and kidnaps wife and threatens to kill her if her lover doesnt jump off a ledge at the stroke of noon.

I HIGHLY recommend seeing this movie.

Back When I Was A Kid

Back when I was a kid, growing up in the 60‘s, we played in the dirt and created our own entertainment. We didn’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on the latest video game or iPhone, we were quite happy with a ball or even a stick. We had real, flesh and blood friends that we laughed, cried and fought with and we had each others backs. We had dreams. We had hope for our future.

We were fucking INVINCIBLE!

Slowly reality changes our views of the world and as I age I find myself saying shit my parents said. Terms like “the good old days” and “when I was your age” creep into your vocabulary.

Now our bodies rebel against us, becoming vengeful for a youth of abuse with jumping off of things we shouldn’t have been jumping from and the daredevil prat falls  we used to take. Our body has learned to talk to us through a combination of aches, pains and noises it never used to make before 40 years of age. THAT seems to be the age when shit started going downhill, the age I discovered I could no longer read a Trivial Pursuit card without the use of a magnifying glass or bifocal lens.

Oh how the times have changed. Everything around us, things are going fucking looney tunes crazy and it just keeps getting worse and worse with every passing year. People are walking around carrying guns - like in the old west - just waiting for someone to cut them off in traffic or look at them funny...or maybe just be different so they can draw down on them, always ready for a good ole shoot-em-up.

What the fuck happened? Why the hell do people feel the need to carry a gun with them? In all the years of my life - and I have been in some touchy situations - I can never think of one time where looking back, having a gun would have helped.

Not once. EVER!

But I get how people are afraid right now. The world we live in has become a scarey and unpredictable place, I get that, but STILL I cant imagine EVER getting myself in a position to warrant gun play.

Even when I see a growing number of afraid, armed people walking around.
