The Color Of Freedom ©

I sit here this night wanting to write something funny or at least try to but I find my mind wandering to world events and loose the humor in life that I have strived to find each and every day.

I wanted to tell you about a couple of women I met who wanted to have their picture taken in front of a candy store or about a cashier who’s nipples perked up when she heard me growl at Inia as she passed close to me.
There is a lot I have to write about but the words fade from my fingertips as I watch the world in chaos.

Between the troubles Australia has had to the Middle East and the topping of this bloody sundae is the earthquake that just struck New Zealand.
Where do I find the words to bring a smile on your faces when all I see is a river of tears drowning the earth?
All I have is questions without any smart-ass puns.

I can understand Mother Nature’s fury and accept it with the sorrow it brings to our souls but when I watch the happenings going on in the Middle East I am saddened because it’s the work of man.
I watch and hear the pleading voices beneath the rubble as rescuers drag a trapped earthquake victim from beneath a collapsed building to the cheers of those around.
I watch as a man pleads for his life before being shot dead but a hired gunman.
I hear the silent ones screaming for justice as they lay motionless in the middle of the street.
I see the look in the eyes of a man as he finds out he will never see a loved one again.

I’m confused.
We have a body comprised of most of the countries in the world who have sworn to protect the weak as we, as a species search for peace and freedom for all on this planet, yet we watch those who hear us die helplessly in the street.

I don’t think we should be interfering in the politics of a free nation or imposing our beliefs on them but when the majority of the population is mercilessly being slaughtered should we be standing on the sidelines watching?
In most of the Middle Eastern countries there is a political structure even if it isn’t a democratic one so when something like what happened in Egypt happens, the country still has the framework to move forward and evolve but not in a country such as Libya.

In Egypt peaceful protests won the people their freedom but in Libya peaceful protests has only brought thousands of dead protesters as we all watch it going down on TV.
I watched at men with anti aircraft guns ripped through a crowd of people holding placards asking for their freedom.

Libya is ruled by a tyrannical chieftain who in the past has threatened all our lives and yet for all that he has done to us we have punished him by rewarded him for it.
A quarter of the population of this country rules the remainder with an iron fist and endless supply of bullets.
Today the vast majority of the people of Libya armed with only the dream of freedom as their sword, their flesh and blood as their shield charge the mechanical monsters of death bought and paid for with our money in a quest for freedom only to be slaughtered like sheep on the streets.

I listened to a woman locked in her house asking if we see what’s happening and if we do, why we are not helping.
Good question.

I hate the Middle East.
Yeah I know hate is a strong word but I do.
I don’t hate the people I hate the mentality.
Fucken mule headed bastards.
In the past I have said we should just nuke the motherfuckers.
All of them.
Wipe them off the face of the fucken earth and be done with their god bull fucken shit.
Them and their fucken religious rhetoric.

Now it’s to fucken late to blow the fuckers up.
Now the bastards have fucken faces and they look like ours.
Ordinary people trying to escape the grip of oppression and the lies that have been fed to them for the last century.
Most gained their freedom from colonialism only to fall prey to a gang of well armed hooligans like Khadafi, or Ghadafi or however that spawn of Satan spells it.
The man is so fucked in the head he doesn’t know which end to piss from.

He has gone out and hired mercenaries to come into the country to put down the uprising because this own armed forces refuse to fire on the people.
If fact he has executed many of them for not obeying his orders.
This is not the actions of a leader.
These are the acts of a terrorist.
So I ask myself what is the rest of the world doing?

We’re watching and hurling words of disapproval.
Isn’t this what the United Nations was formed for?
Aren’t they supposed to be looking at this and planning some sort of intervention or at least send forces in to protect those who have liberated themselves from this man’s grip?
This is the war against terrorism.
This is where the final battle will be fought.
The question is, will be wade in to help put an end to decades of fear at the hands of this murderous lot of people?

For years we have sacrificed the lives of our troops trying to stop terrorism and we are now presented with the chance to do just that.
We can finally get rid of the major supporters of terror and probably save future lives by rallying around these people.
The majority of the people before its to late and the only thing left will be the graves of the dead.

I think it’s time we pulled out of where we shouldn’t be and concentrated on what the right thing to do is.
How long should he have to sit here watching people who could be us in different time lay down and die for nothing but a dream with no hope without us.
When do we stop watching the bully and step in to throw the bastard out?

The future can only exist if we are all on the same page.
Fractured we can only be a mirror image of what we despise.
I salute the brave people who have reached for their freedom with only the hand of peace as their weapon.
I weep for their sacrifice when they are struck down by our greed.

Have a nice day

A Walker Valentine ©

So, how was your Valentine’s Day?
I know I didn’t put up a post for it but Inia and I don’t really celebrate it.
We figure it’s something we should be doing all the time and February 14th is just a ploy to get more of our money.
I mean if you feel the need to wait all year for that one special pre set day to show you love, well then that’s cool.
I would rather do things my way and be spontaneous.
With that I also forgo the panic shopping people do trying to find that special gift that will surly get their pecker wet or at least one hell of a good pussy licking.
Hell I get that now without fighting a hoard of desperate men at the mall.
You think women are bad during a shoe sale.
You should see what a herd of men with no clue are like at the mall but my beliefs on the day didn’t save me from having to go out to the mall today.
My mother picked Valentine’s Day to make a payment on her credit card so off I went to the department store.

As soon as I walked in you could tell what day it was.
Hearts and chocolate all over the place.
Racks of perfumes and other bath baskets.
There were cards and flowers and chocolates and chocolates and chocolates.
Did I mention chocolate?
There was fucken MOUNTAINS of boxes of chocolate and as I looked past all that what did I see?
Men walking around blindly looking.

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s all at the front door where you came in.
They must have been blinded by the sea of red when they walked in and didn’t see anything with their hands shielding their eyes.

As I walked towards customer service I passed a rack of chocolate boxes and one of them caught my eye.
I walked over and picked it up.
“Wow”, I thought “Now this is cool” so I grabbed the box.
Yeah I know what I said but I am not buying this for Valentine’s Day but because it’s cool and perfect for her.
It just happens I found it on this day.
If they made cool shit like this all year they would make more money without a special day for it.

I go to the customer service and make the payment then head off to the cashier to pay for the box of chocolates.
At the cash there was a guy in front of me and he had 4 small tiny boxes of candy.
I mean they were small.
Ok I don’t do Valentine’s but buddy if I did, I wouldn’t be showing up at home with only that because whoo hoooo you going to get banging but not like you want too.

He looks down at my box of chocolates and asks me whom they were for.
I told him, “ They’re for my ol’ lady”.
“Really, man are you going to get it”.
I look down at the four one ounce packages of heresy kisses and tell him, “When she sees this, she’s going to fuck me twice as hard because of it”.
“Really”?
“Fuck yeah, I know women and I know mine and when I put these in her hands, she will be on her knees thanking little Buddha until Easter”.
The cashier’s eyes bulged as she listened to our conversation.

“Wow”.
“Damn straight and they’re 50% OFF TODAY”.
“You’re kidding”?
“Nope, everything over there that says VD on it is 50% off”.

He turned, looked where I showed him just as the cashier picked up his chocolates to scan and he stopped her.
He grabbed the chocolates from the cashier and headed towards the rack.
I stepped up to the cashier and passed her the heart shaped football box of chocolates.
“The girlfriend just loves football”, I told her.
I nodded in the direction that guy took off in to find a box like mine and said ”He’s fucked”.
She just nodded and started laughing.



Have a nice day

Bus Stop ©

I am going to be a bit of a hypocrite in this post.
When I was younger.
25 years younger to be exact I was living a different life.
Lots of sex, drugs and the mayhem that went with it.
I drove fast cars, luxury cars; 17 cars to be exact.
I played hard, drank hard, drove drunk.
Things were different back then.
There weren’t that many cars on the streets and we we knew how to hold our liquor.
Actually we were never sober so drunk was normal.
I am not by any means saying what I did was right.
In fact I know and knew back then it was wrong but times were a little different back then.

As the population grew we all became aware that certain things needed to stop.
With me it was waking up one New Years Day and looking out the window to see if my car was out there because I couldn’t remember driving home.
Yup, it was and that was scary.
Ever since I don’t drive drunk or stoned.
And you know, it’s not because drunk people can’t drive it’s because the idiots can’t and find themselves in the path of a drunk driver.

Society has deemed this kind of behavior dangerous and has passed strict laws here on drunk driving with stiff fines and suspensions that could last ten, twenty years if not forever and I totally understand.

When I was in my twenties I got pulled over by a drunk cop and he asked me if I had been drinking.
No word of a lie.
He dragged me out of the car and walk the line and touch my nose.
He was so fucken drunk I failed and then took me in to blow in the breathalyzer which I passed.

Over the years things have changed for the best.
Ok the government has gone a little overboard with the fines I think.
12,000 is a little fucken steep if you ask me.
Just think.
You have one beer and thirty minutes later you leave for home and you get pulled over.
Are you drunk?
Probably not but you are over and that twelve grand you’re out and a year suspension

Personally, I think if you give someone that big of a fine making it almost impossible to pay it would only lead the person to break other laws like driving without a license.
That’s just me thinking aloud.

We have some really strict driving laws here that are vehemently enforced, especially for young and new drivers.
It takes almost five years now to get your full license as opposed to when I went.
I walked in, took the test and walked out with my license.
We took tests for friends and got them licenses and some had never driven a car.
Today, HA, you need 47 pieces of identification to get an application.

Like I said times are different today especially with the population density being what it is.
We have to be more mindful of the idiot drivers and not dink then drive and to teach our kids and others to respect that.
I think for the most part parents do a pretty good job of it but there are a few that make me shake my head.

I have told my kids I want to know everything they do.
I don’t care what they do as long as they are careful for themselves and others.
They want to drink and smoke pot, fine.
Anything else….. well, then Walker is going to be really mad and trust me when my brain clicks and goes into that mode the room gets fucken cold and they know it’s bad.
.
They know my rules and they know that I respect their freedoms even into the gray but past that.
We don’t want to go there.
They want to go out and drink and smoke pot, have a good time.
Well I’ll drive.
I drove D1 to a rock bar once and left her with her friends but stayed to watch the band and I think I had more fun that they did.
All that sweaty boob flesh bouncing around the dance floor was more than enough to get the juices flowing especially with the loud music pounding out of the speakers.

I had one beer in 2 hours and then drove D1 home.
Easy as pie.
Had another beer at home.
Even if I didn’t drive.
It’s ten buck to cab it.
$3.50 on the bus but if you have three friends chip in and cab it.
It’s all simple.
To simple it seems for some.

The other night the sister in laws nineteen year old daughter plowed through at bus shelter.
It’s a good thing it was 1 am because there was shit left of it after she was done.
There was fuck all left of her car too.
My brother who got there first said she was pissed.
Three shots and a beer in one hour then got behind the wheel.
He grabbed her out of the car and put her in his then called the cops.
I don’t know how he managed it but they blamed it on black ice.
Black ice my ass and even if there was, she barreled through the bus shelter she didn’t slide into it.

Today I find out they are trying to find ways to get money from the insurance company to get her a new car.
This kid drives drunk all the time but then again her mother is no better.
.
I would be kicking her ass all over the fucken place, it’s not child abuse any more, it’s one adult beating the shit out of another adult’s brain.
Probably rotting crap left over from the abdicable cord.

When do people wake up, when it’s to fucken late?
Ok the kid is a shit-head so don’t give her tools she can kill someone else’s kid with.
I think the problem here is that she never had to earn something.
She was given everything she wanted including the car.
Maybe if she had to find a fucken job then save up the money to buy a car she would be old enough or mature enough to have one.
What am I talking about?
Her mother’s in her forties and does the same shit.

I’m telling you, I have driven drunk so many times I can’t remember how many times or doing it but back then there wasn’t a car in sight at 2 am not like now and yes, I was wrong even if it wasn’t as dangerous as it is today.
I just hope one day it’s not worse.

Have a nice day

Silence ©

Thump thump thump
Whacking my head against the keyboard doesn’t help I still don’t know what to write or have the will to write.
I want to, but I can’t.
I need loud music.
I used to have lots of it until my speakers went tits up like a Halle Berry movie.
.
It’s been suggested I use earphones and I have but they’re just not loud enough.
I’m old school, child of the 70s and 80s when the music was so loud the decibels blew you so hard you came right there in the middle of the dance floor along with all the others in one orgasmic soup of sound waves.
Now, I go to a club and the music isn’t loud enough to pop an escaping fart from a fiber rich old man.

This is how loud I play my music when I am alone in the house.
A couple of summers ago my mother phoned to tell me to put the music down because it was attracting a crowd.
I had no idea what the hell she was talking about so I walked out the front door and there were about 30 people from the skateboard arena across the street dancing in front of my house.
Some chick asked me if I could leave the front door open so they could hear it a little better.

Loud, that’s how I like it.
I want not to only hear the music but feel the sound waves crashing against my body.
Of course it helps to have a couple of brews and a lungful of wacky tobbacci fermenting your smoked and pickled brain.

Then I could just lay back and let the music wash in and out of my body and soul as I swim through the oceans of my mind until I found a wave to ride back down to earth to tell you about.

My old speakers, I would crank the mothers up so loud, the dust and crumbs on the desk would gather in groups for a wild orgy as they vibrated around in circles out of control like square dancers on crack.
Now I couldn’t get belly button lint to twitch.
The only sound coming out of them at the moment is that same crackling sound my body makes when I get up from the couch.
It’s not the soothing sounds that inspire me to want to write a post.
The only thoughts that sound gives me are the memories of the annoying fuckers who used to scratch the blackboard with their fingernails at school.
Way back when they didn’t have metal detectors at each entrance.

So without music I can’t think straight to write or smoke pot and drink beer.
The music helps me focus.
Without the music if I get stoned the only thing I want is sex and lots of it, which is a problem when your ol lady is not around.
Yeah, yeah I can go jerk off but you can only do that so many times before even you start getting appalled with your own lack of self control.
“For god sake man, give it a fucken rest, use the other hand”.
Sheesh

So you can see how bad it is for me when my speakers go and croak but it won’t be for long.
I went to Future Shop the other day to have a look at some and the first ones I came across were amazing.
For 500 bucks they better be but for that price they will have to be amazing in someone else’s house.
The ones next to them were a little cheaper but still too much for me to spend on computer speakers.
I mean, I can buy a new computer for what these speakers bloody cost.

I am actually torn between two sets of speakers.
One looks cool



The other looks loud



One looks sterile the other kinda grungy if you want to call them that.
I think loud may end up beating cool but who knows, I may get them both HA HA HA!!!!!!
I will decide that at the end of the month.
Until then, I guess its going to have to be my singing and Frick's meowing.
He’s a little muffled lately.
Must be a fur ball

Have a nice weekend

Brain Dead ©

My brain is asleep.
It seems I can’t focus enough to really write a post so I will probably wing a couple and see if I can make myself so sick on this crap I will inspire myself to write semi decent crap instead.

Let’s see.
Have you been watching the news lately and the new troubles happening in the Middle East?
I am beginning to think that’s that place over there where all the senile old people go to live?

I don’t swim much into politics because we all have our distinct opinions and usually heated arguments erupt so I keep it to myself.
My personal views are all over the fucken place thanks to the social hypocrisy we all live in.

I’m an incumbent politician’s nightmare because I’m neither a conservative or a liberal.
I believe in legalizing pot and passing a law in where you have to give you partner three orgasms a day or you’re exiled to the Middle East.

Politicians drive me crazy.
I’m a survivalist; I do what I can to survive and to keep those around me safe.
That’s what I am loyal too and I am not alone but these politicians are using me, us for target practice.
Look at the world out there.
People are hungry, sick, homeless, tired of war, tired of being afraid all the time, just plain fucken tired.
Does that sound familiar.
Aren’t you tired?

Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen are in turmoil.
People want free election.
They want to survive.
Greece is expelling illegals because they can’t support them.
The country they came from can’t either, they’re struggling to feed their own as is Greece.

There is a tsunami of humans fleeing their native countries for ours because they see a better life but like any herd that runs across the prairie, they’re going to stomp and destroy what they come seeking just by their shear numbers.
Tell me I’m wrong.

Once our countries were young and empty.
People were paid to move here so we can expand and hold our borders as a country.
It’s the same with most western countries but there are limits to how much the bottle can hold before the lid pops off.

Western leaders are worried that Muslims may take power in these countries in the Middle East.
Do politicians watch the news?
I know they are in it enough but do they watch the news when they are not, the news?
You can see people running through the streets in pitched battles with riots cops and soldiers screaming that they want free elections.
Isn’t that what we all want, free elections?

Does it matter if the majority votes for a Muslim based government?
For the last 30 years Egypt has basically been a dictatorship and no one said nothing.
Wasn’t Hitler and Mussolini dictators?
Don’t we despise tyrants or these don’t count because they are our dictators like Pinochet was down in Chile.

We spend too much time in other people’s business and not spending enough time on ours.
We compromise ourselves into giving money to bullies and when the shit hits the fan we find ourselves floundering in the water whilst trying to figure out what the fuck to do next.
This is the shit our politicians get us into.
.
I think if we looked at the world through our beliefs and rules we would be able to make decisions much better but we have people in power that rather be puppet masters.
Why are we making friends with people whose way of life insults ours?
I mean some small things can be overseen and religion is a personal choice but we believe in freedom and having rights to believe in whatever you want as long as you don’t try to impose you will on others.
Isn’t this what is happening right now in the Middle East?
Has been happening for years.

With the Internet spreading all over the world and giving everyone the ability to look into the way others around the world live has woken some people up.
They begin to taste something in their mouth and have this feeling growing in their chest.
These people have been isolated from the rest of the world until recently and only knew what they were told about the world but with the Internet, all that has changed.
Most of these people are poor, sick and hungry.
They watch their leaders living well and they see others around the world eating well and have access to medicine and they want that too.
It’s what those before us struggled for.
They want this.
We all do.

Many of our roots go back to countries that were like this.
The Irish, Italians, Polish, Germans, Lebanese, Greeks, Chinese...the list goes on , immigrants that left to get away from that shit.
Our politicians come from similar ancestries but they have forgotten this.

I watched the news and saw people asking for fair democratic elections.
Damn right.
The want the dictator OUT.
Fucken “A”.
CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!!!!!!!!

What do we do to help them?

NOTHIN

This is their time.
Their coming of age and its been thousands of fucken years in the coming.
These are our people, people who can be traced back to the beginning living in what may at one time been humanity’s birthplace.
Where it all started tens of thousands of years ago and they still live and think that same fucken way.
It’s their time to evolve.

Now the hunger pains in the pit of their stomachs is making them open their eyes to the rest of the world and how we live and they want it.
They want to decide how they want to live not have one person tell them all how to live.

Our leaders are scared to say to much as not to offend other dictators they are supporting.
Fuck em too.
We should be picking our friends based on how we live and doing business with people who think like we do for the most part.
We give money to these people and all they do is use it to tighten the noose around the necks of their people.
Would we impose this on ourselves?

I say its time we stepped back and let them untie the rope that binds them and know they earned it on their own without outside interference.
When all the smoke clears we can decide if they are the right people to be friends with.

And while they are dealing with their government I think we should have a little talk with ours.
There are thousands of our people stuck in Egypt trying to get out.
The Canadian government has chartered a couple of planes and is sending them to Egypt to get all the Canadian who can afford to pay for a ticket.

Come again?
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
What did you say, if they can pay?
You got to be fucken kidding me?
I want to smack the prime minister so hard his head will spin like Linda Blair on crack.
How much money does the government waste on shit.
Billions.
This is a crises not a free bone, get our people out of there and pay for the fucken thing.
It’s my fucken money.

Then I hear that the Americans have chartered a couple of planes and borrowed one from the Canadians because money was scarce among the people stranded at the airport and had a spare.
Unlike the Canadian government the American government showed true patriotism and are bringing home all the Americans there.
They said they’d bill them later.
Fuck you too.
You give Egypt two billion dollars for free but won’t swallow the 2.5 million dollars it will cost to bring home the people who helped give you that 2.5 billion you so generously gave away.

Fucken politicians.

Lawyers, politician…… it’s the fucken suits isn’t it.
They get power crazy when in a suit.
If all soldiers wore pink I bet there would be no wars.

The only help we should be giving people is humanitarian help, showing them ways to employ and feed their people instead of throwing money at them.

The Middle East is changing and we have to step back and let them deal it out amongst themselves or we may find ourselves in the middle of a world war.
They all posses the means to totally annihilate themselves forever if they so choose, if they are that stupid.

We learned the hard way, so do they have to now.
We have been used for to long to settle their shit and paid for it in the blood of our kids.
They may put no value on their lives but we do.
Live or die, it’s their choice to make not ours
That’s why we have borders with our own rules.

Fucken politicians

Have a nice day

Someone pass me the remote…
